Be Eaten Up with Love - Chapter 25
My heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably after Wayne Gilbert finished his
words…..
Although I knew that a man’s words always confuse a woman’s heart, and I
should not believe it.
But I am still moved inexplicably……
“Mr. Gilbert, I will do it well!”
“You can call me Wayne. Of course, I prefer to hear you call me Uncle Wayne!”
I blushed in embarrassment. On that day, I thought Simona Gilbert was his
girlfriend, so I made a joke and called him uncle Wayne. Now, several days has
passed, he still remembers my embarrassment at that time.
“I’ll call you Wayne in private. When I get to the company, I’ll call you Mr. Gilbert.”
“That’s all right. You can come to the company on Monday. I’ll arrange it in
advance.”
……
Watching Wayne Gilbert’s Bentley vanish into the traffic, I went upstairs in a
happy mood.
In the next door, Granny was washing rice and vegetables. she smiled and
greeted with me: “Lydia, it seemed that you got a boyfriend.”
I smiled embarrassingly and said. “Yes, Granny.”
Granny sighed and looked at me. “Lydia, it’s not Granny that said you, Granny
eats more salt than you eat rice. It seemed that that man was in his thirties. He
drove a car and seemed to a successful man. But he maybe is a cheater, and
especially cheat the girl like you who was students. You should be careful and
never be cheated by others.
“Granny, this will never happen.”
Seeing that I have a strong attitude, Granny put down the things in hand and
walked toward me and said:”Lydia, I saw a boy stood at your door and waited for
you for several hours this morning!” I think that young man is very good, you
must not be dizzy and deceived. Even if you met a rich man, you can not ignore
anybody who treat you sincerely. Granny heard that those rich people like to
spend money to cajoling you, when you slept with him, he will abandon you is not
responsible……”
I was surprised to hear this, because there were only a few people who knew I
lived here.Who will wait for me?
The phone rang in my bag when I was wondering.
After I said hello to Granny, I picked up the phone as I walked.
“Lydia, you finally answered the phone! Geoffrey asked me for your address in
the morning. He threatened me that if I did not give your address to him, he will
go to your uncle’s house. I was afraid of causing some trouble, so I gave it to
him. You won’t blame me for my action, will you? Katherine Gilbert asked me
apologetically on the phone.
I suddenly understand it. it was Geoffrey who waited at my door in the morning.
It’s ridiculous. How could he come here to look me now.
“Katherine, did you mentioned the relationship of Geoffrey and me with Simona
Gilbert?”
“I haven’t mentioned it to my sister-in-law yet, but I’ll talk directly to my
grandmother in recent days. Grandma hate people who was a snob and a social
climber. Geoffrey wants to be such people, but he also needs to see if he
deserves it. My sister-in-law have a crush on him but my grandmother is awake.”
I don’t care if Geoffrey want to be such people or not, even if he became Wayne
Gilbert’s brother-in-law, here is nothing to do with me. Now, I just want to get rid
of him completely!
I asked Katherine Gilbert for Geoffrey’s phone number. When Geoffrey answered
the phone, I made a direct appointment with him and planned to talk to him
clearly.
When I arrived at the cafe next to No.1 School of Liang city, there was still a
quarter of an hour before the appointed time. I asked for a place and ordered a
pot of tea.
It wasn’t long before he came. He looks gentle as usual and matched with gentle
boy in my memory, but I can something different in his eyebrows.
“Lydia, do you remember that it is in this position that I pursue you as my
girlfriend, but I didn’t think you chose this position again today.
He looked at me tenderly, as if the two years had ceased to exist, and everything
that had happened was my dream.
I sneered, Geoffrey must have chosen wrong job. If he had chosen job in the
entertainment industry, he may now acquire the title of the film emperor!
Geoffrey, today I chose this place, I just think about where to start and where to
end!” After I had a sip of tea, I said leisurely.
He frowned and looked at me. “Lydia, you have changed in these two years. In
the past, you are very kind, but now you became so cruel.
