Chapter 105 It’s Over
It took Andy two days to recuperate after returning home.
On the third day, she invited Peter out to make things clear.
She set out an hour earlier, but Peter arrived earlier than her.
“Have you been waiting for a long time?” She smiled and sat down opposite him.
Looking at her delicate make-up, what he saw in Jian family flashed through his mind all of a sudden. Her face was covered with thick sores. He was stunned for a moment and joked unnaturally, “it’s natural for a man to wait for a woman.”
After a pause, he added, “is black coffee okay? Your eyes are a little swollen and just disappear.”
Embarrassed, Andy touched her eyes and said with a smile, ‘maybe I didn’t sleep well last night. I’ll listen to your order.”
Peter smiled and asked the waiter to place the order.
When the coffee was served on the table, Andy took a sip. She frowned bitterly, but smiled, looking very smart.
Seeing this, Peter’s face froze. He lowered his head and stirred the coffee in front of him absentmindedly.
Calm down. You are good at appreciating the beauty. Don’t be tempted by the appearance!
Andy didn’t notice that there was something wrong with him. She put down the coffee, took out a lot of things from her bag, put them on the table and pushed them to his side.
“What do you mean?” Peter looked down and was more confused.
‘this is the ring you proposed to me, and the key to the new car you left in my office. I’ll give it back to you. Forget our engagement.” Said Andy calmly.
Frowning, Peter didn’t know what to say.
The cancellation of the wedding broke her heart in the end. It seemed that Andy had guessed that Pei family had broken their promise for her face.
“In fact, I have thought about it for a long time, but finally I find that this is the best result.”
“Peter,” called Andy softly, “you have a romantic soul. When I was with you, I was very relaxed and happy, as if I had returned to a young girl. To be honest, I really had a crush on you.”
Peter pulled his lips bitterly and said nothing.
“But I know very well that I am not a young girl anymore. Those blazing and hot things are like bubbles floating all over the sky for me, illusory and unreal. After calming down, I only feel tired and uneasy. You are not my good person, and I am not yours either.”
“I remember you said that you tried to find the one who really loved you. I think I shouldn’t have taken up your time to find the true love. Let’s call it a day, okay?”
She sounded neither humble nor pushy, as if she was talking about someone else.
Peter looked away gradually. His heart had never been in such a mess like now.
It had been like this for the past few days. He could end this absurd pursuit briskly and only talk about the child, but he couldn’t make a decision ruthlessly. He didn’t even dare to go to the company and deliberately avoid her.
But now, he had no choice but to end this relationship.
He just nodded and said “yes”, but he couldn’t speak for a long time.
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Andy thought that he was worried about the children. She said kindly, “I know aunt likes children very much. Don’t worry. Even if we are not a couple, you can go to see the children at any time.”
Since the paternity test had proved that Peter was not the child’s biological father, there was no need to hide.
Still looking out of the window, Peter didn’t say a word.
Andy smiled. Maybe he had been dumped for only a few times, so he felt embarrassed.
“I won’t change my mind.” She patted the back of Peter’s hand and said jokingly, ‘then, I wish you can find a suitable soulmate as soon as possible.”
Then she picked up her bag and left the cafe.
Peter couldn’t help but lower his head and looked at his hands which were touched by her. “Plop! Plop!” the sound was getting faster and louder.
He suddenly came to his senses, picked up the things on the table and chased after her. He happened to see her bending into the car.
The car started slowly, and Peter raised his foot to catch up with it. But after only two steps, he stopped slowly. He was absent-minded to watch the car go away and finally disappear at the corner of the intersection.
So what if he caught up with her? Did he dare to love her without hesitation and tolerate her face?
He couldn’t do it.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
When got home, Bill threw the car key on the table and lay on the sofa listlessly.
Seeing him running back in broad daylight, Linda walked up to him and kicked him. “You haven’t seen anyone these days. I asked you to talk to Andy. Have you talked to her?”
“Yes.” Peter took a long breath and didn’t open his eyes.
“What did you talk about?” Linda patted him on the chest and said anxiously, “brat, I’m serious with you. Can you be more serious?”
Hearing this, Peter got up impatiently, took out the engagement ring from his pocket, threw it on the table, and said listlessly, “Andy took the initiative to cancel the engagement, but she didn’t object to our visit to the children in the future.”
“Oh? Did Andy cancel?” “I didn’t expect that, did she ask for something.”
“No.” Peter shook his head.
Linda nodded thoughtfully, ‘she is reasonable, but unfortunately…”
If Andy’s face wasn’t so serious, she would be the best daughter-in-law.
All right. After all, the child was raised up by the family, and Pei family could not do anything to keep the child without his mother. This result was also a happy ending.
—
The next day.
Linda called Andy to her office.
Said Andy as she pushed the door open, “Mrs. He, what can I do for you?”
“Have a seat.” Linda said kindly.
Seeing that she was in a good condition, Linda nodded repeatedly, “I’m relieved to see that you’re fine.”
After a pause, she continued, “Peter has told me that you are breaking up peacefully. It’s good. We will still be friends in the future. Let’s get touch more.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not that narrow-minded.” Said Andy with a smile.
“that’s good.” Linda breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of what had happened before, she said shyly, “I’m sorry. The matter between you and Peter was not clear before. Your stepmother came to me and said that she had a way to make you nod. I was so worried that I gave her money to agree. Now I understand that you don’t accept it because you have your own considerations. It’s my fault.”
Her good mood suddenly stopped. Lucy cheated her and made a fortune from Pei family. She had a big appetite.
This time, Lucy had made her suffer for so long, and the children had also suffered. She would never let it go.
Thinking of this, Andy suddenly frowned and sighed, “Alas, I can’t do anything to my stepmother. She not only took away all the money I saved, but also threatened me that if I didn’t agree to Pei family, she would spend money to spread the rumor that I had children before marriage, which made me lose my reputation…”
“I can’t believe it!” Linda was so angry that she pounded the table.
