Ron had lived up to Holley's expectations for him.
Although the answer was simple, Holley was speechless.
"I just want to sleep on the sofa. Can't I?"
Seeing that the little woman was speechless, Ron stood up and came to her side, whispering, "do you
want to invite me?"
"You are thinking too much."
"Good night," Holley said quickly and then retracted into the quilt.
She swore that she would never mess with that man again.
How dangerous!
Looking at the little woman who was even a little nervous when she was pretending to sleep, Ron
couldn't help smiling.
'You silly girl. Don't you believe my words?
How can I have the heart to force you?'
The corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a gentle arc. Ron curled up on the sofa and fell asleep
with a pillow in his arms.
Holley didn't know how long she had slept. She just felt that it was not a good night.
But she was so sleepy that she was half asleep.
It was not until early in the morning that Ron finished washing and changed his suit and left the
bedroom, Holley felt relieved to sleep.
She had not slept for a long time when the phone rang.
"Hello?"
Holley didn't even look at the number shown on the screen.
She picked up the phone in a daze, her voice full of grievance and dullness.
At the other end of the line, Teresa felt a little embarrassed.
It was already noon but Holley was still sleeping. She must be very tired last night...
"Holle, can we take a walk outside?"
Teresa asked after hesitating for a while.
"Okay, where shall we meet?"
Holley rubbed her hair and sat up on the bed.
She made an appointment with Teresa. After dressing up in a hurry, she left the villa without having
breakfast.
Teresa took her to a nice pub.
It was a clean bar, without noisy music, no crazy dance, or liquor.
Except for the wine, there were also guests with different kinds of mood.
The elegant surroundings gave people a sense of peace.
After entering the small bar, Holley saw Teresa from a distance.
Smiling and waving at her, Holley sped up her pace and walked over to her. "How did you find this bar?
It's so great!"
"The doctor recommended."
The doctor that Teresa talked about was Fabian.
Holley felt awkward instinctively.
She still remembered that she was told many things by Ron last night.
She knew better than anyone else that no one could tell.
Holley closed her mouth instinctively and felt the awkwardness in the air.
She looked away from Teresa's gaze, trying to change the topic. "What do you want to drink?"
"I don't want to drink. I just want to sit and chat with you."
There was a touch of melancholy in Teresa's eyes.
She used to be a heroic woman, but now she looked a little dispirited. "Last night, I went to the hospital
and met Fabian. I promised to get engaged to him. After the engagement, we will get married
according to the almanac date."
Hearing what Teresa said, Holley felt more embarrassed.
She didn't know what to say.
'I'm supposed to congratulate Teresa on her engagement and wedding, ' thought Holley.
However, it seemed that a marriage without love, a marriage with tricks and schemes, was not worth
blessing.
After saying that, Teresa laughed. "You must have heard the news but it's very difficult to say
congratulations. You know I'm the daughter of the black market. Many upper class ladies have heard
the news and called me to congratulate me. But I don't feel happy at all. "
"Fabian has said that according to his family rules, we must get engaged first. He was going to buy an
engagement ring. I told him that my heart was in a mess and that I just wanted to stay alone for a while,
so he went to buy the ring on his own. "
Holley found that at this time, her EQ was almost zero.
She really didn't know what to say.
Because Teresa felt unhappy because there was a man in her heart.
But that man was her husband.
She couldn't tell her that 'since you were so unhappy, I would give up my husband to you.'
Moreover, this was something that no one could change.
Mrs. Ou was a very powerful woman. The marriage arranged by her had only two choices, obedience
and extinction.
"The doctor likes you very much. He fell in love with you at first sight. When he saw Mr. Ron in Alaska,
he asked for making a match of you and him."
Suddenly, Holley found that she understood more and more of the ruthlessness of Ron last night.
He said that if Teresa would never accept Fabian, the man who loved her so much.
She could not be happy all her life.
Fabian was a nice man, and was worthy of being appreciated by Teresa.
Even if it was not her favorite one, he could be the one who helped her.
Holley seldom got involved in the love matter of Teresa, but today, she made an exception to speak for
Fabian.
"I know."
Teresa sighed softly, "last night, he said many good words for me, stopped Mrs. Ou to make it difficult
for me, and also gave face to our Lei family. He directly released the wedding news in an official way."
Of course she knew Fabian's merits.
Even though Fabian knew she had done a lot of bad things, he still comforted her and said that she
was not wrong.
Even though he knew that she liked someone else rather than him, he still protected her with all his
heart and soul.
"Marrying him isn't a bad thing, is it?"
The corners of Teresa's mouth lifted up in spite of reluctance.
She didn't want to marry him. She used to plan to be single all her life. She would be looking at the
man she loved from afar all her life.
But the fate played a joke on her...
"Yes."
Holley gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
Since her fate couldn't be changed, she should accept it and stop struggling. "Marrying Fabian is a
good thing for both you and the Lei family. He loves you far more than you love him. He will always be
good to you and accommodate himself to you. With the help of the Ou family, the Lei family will also be
unprecedented powerful and have an indestructible position in the black market. "
It was the first time for Teresa to hear such reasonable and almost cruel words from Holley since she
knew her for a long time.
She really thought so.
Or was it because she knew that she liked Mr. Ron so she wanted her to marry Fabian?
For the first time, Teresa started to doubt whether Holley really cared about her.
After a pause, she nodded and raised her hand to grab Holley's. "Holle, thank you for telling me this. I
have another unreasonable request. Please help me."
