At the entrance of the pear orchard, Liam stopped.
At this time the blazing sun is in the sky, but he is cool, sculpture like face attached to the obvious somber atmosphere, the
Ethan ... Ethan , just to hear her mouth spit out this name is enough to make him tense nerves, anger flared up.
There is a kind of miserable stay hurt haze, just do not think about mentioning will also be enveloped in the heart, long-lasting.
He suddenly hated himself for being so easily moved by her words.
Sure enough, the closeness of the restaurant just now was an illusion, he did not dare to stay longer for fear that if he heard more words, he would not be able to control his madness. Quickly left.
Hearing the sound of footsteps walking away, Katie revealed a gesture of watching a good show, with an eerie sense of being able to penetrate people's hearts in her eyes, and said with disgust:
"You are now the Katie family's fifth young miss that the Katie family recognizes to the outside world, a proper and famous girl, how come you still have a small family spirit that can't get on the stage,"
You like him to say in front of him in a big way, don't always think of playing some dark means to engage in disassociation ....."
Victoria's face turned white, her body didn't know if it was because she almost fell down just now and hadn't slowed down yet, but she was actually trembling a little.
Actually trembled a little, her face had the embarrassment of being torn apart
"I didn't."
Katie didn't want to argue with her fearlessly, but if she'd been a little more forthcoming she'd have been able to look at her in a better light.
"How about staying with you all through the play? Won't you consider the offer I just made?"
Victoria knew she was talking about the shares, she'd turned sideways a moment ago and had seen Liam's figure
She was deliberately leading Katie on to her old feelings for her ex-fiancé.
She'd agreed to get married because she wanted to get back at Liam for harboring her and getting the shares.
And Katie wants to get back at her and her grandmother for killing her grandmother.
In the tea room in the main garden, Liam's hand holding the white chess piece was slow to fall, the head of the house lifted the tea in his hand and said
"Something on your mind? Is it the company, or have you fallen out with Katie?"
Upon hearing the master of the Katie family say the word "Katie,"
Liam put down his hand and didn't speak.
The head of the Katie family got the message and gave him a look that said.
"Is Katie coming back this time?"
Liam's face was expressionless, and he said faintly, "I don't know."
Katie's head of the family had always felt that Liam was the most promising of all the juniors, young and decisive in his career.
But emotionally, he's a complete idiot.
Katie's son then asked again:
"Do you intend to live your lives across the Pacific Ocean?"
Liam casually put down a chess piece and spat out a few words, "Let's wait!"
"Wait? Wait until what, until Katie asks you for a divorce?"
Liam heard the head of Katie's family ask rhetorically, the tea he had just picked up in his hand spilled a little at once.
He lowered his eyes, dripping on his black pants water droplets, quickly stained away only a little dark mark is particularly obvious, he drew a paper towel to wipe, the trace is not obvious but also called for a divorce.
That trace is not obvious but also called people can not be ignored.
He lowered his head to look, silent.
The head of the family waited for a few moments, he did not open his mouth, it seems to be the right guess.
Liam said he was going to the pear orchard to get a chess set.
Said it was not easy to get a pair of ivory chess in the morning, sent from Liam's home to send over, the old man has no other hobbies, on the study of chess spent most of his life, in his words, a small chess board, the chessboard, the chessboard, the chessboard, the chessboard, the chessboard.
In his words, a small chessboard, square inches, but contains infinite wisdom, the chessboard fight is no less than the competition of his business kingdom, but the former is only a matter of winning or losing.
Only the former is only won or lost by how the player bets.
The latter is directly related to the result.
Seeing Liam come back empty-handed and full of gloom, he almost had a clear picture in his heart, and sighed.
"Although grandpa believes that your character is not able to do this kind of left and right, a foot in two boats behavior, but outsiders ...."
Liam rarely interrupts to say back seriously:
"Grandpa, I have no other relationship with Victoria, this contact is also normal work,"
"Children's paradise entertainment program, by her dance troupe is responsible for teaching the children dance lessons, the follow-up I will arrange for others to follow up."
Katie family head nodded, no longer continue to ask more questions, he also knew that the key to the problem was still between them, the
Only if they themselves smoothed it out, all other problems would not be a problem.
Silence, long silence. the chess piece in Liam's hand is still slow to fall.
"If you don't know how to move, stop, think, look at the whole picture. The authorities are too close and too tight, farther away from the board, loosen your hand, there may be a different harvest."
The Head of House Katie finished meaningfully.
Liam, however, was a bit disheveled and put down his chess piece, "I lost."
He is very proficient in chess, when he was a teenager, when he played against the Katie family's master, he had made the Katie family's master be defeated, but today, this game was really good.
But today's game was extremely bad.
The weather in A City in September was still very hot, but because the Katie family's house was originally built as a courtyard, the vegetation in the courtyard was lush and green, and the tea room was also semi-open-air.
The tea room is also a semi-open-air design.
The rockery and the water plus the plants reflect quite a goblet of water, the air is cool, the tea smoke curls up, the Katie family head looked at him and said, "I don't know what to do.
Katie family head looked at him, shook his head, blowing the steaming tea in his hand slowly opened his mouth, "Chess, that's a game of chess, that's a game of chess.
"Playing chess is about patience and heart, you'll have to admit defeat if your heart doesn't work."
"Katie seems to be a well-behaved child, but in reality she is a rebel at heart, she has been practicing painting with her grandmother since she was eight years old and is extremely talented."
"But she said she hated painting, even threw a tantrum and smashed up the studio, and went home to cry to her grandmother that painting was too hard."
"The paint sticks to her body in the winter and is dirty and uncomfortable, saying she doesn't like painting and likes to dance. Her grandmother loved her little granddaughter ah, according to her since the pain that is not to learn, like to dance then go to dance,"
"Then really insisted on a few years of dancing, fell and injured also did not give up, at that time everyone thought she really liked dancing,"
"Until her mother asked her if she would take dance as her future career, surprisingly she chose art painting, and since then she rarely danced anymore, and concentrated on painting."
Liam was surprised by this little interlude in the middle.
He always knew that she could dance and dance very well, that year the school celebration party, know that she represented the art school on stage to present dance, he specially went to the scene to watch, on the stage, and she danced very well.
He specially went to the scene to watch, on the stage, she was wearing a gorgeous dance dress, beautiful dance for the whole audience to fall for it.
Light and graceful, dancing like petals in the wind, pure, beautiful.
People can't help but be mesmerized by it.
He just stood on the stage and watched her shining, watched her like a beautiful butterfly darting out of the auditorium and
Following her.
It was on the dimly lit wooded path of the school, illuminated by streetlights, that she couldn't wait to fling herself into the arms of Ethan, who had arrived late, clutching flowers.
Standing in the shadows, he heard the sound of laughter, so clear, echoing in the silence, even though he was some distance away from them.
so clear that it echoed in the silence of the night, and it was the year when so many things happened.
The thoughts drifted away.
Liam still felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration when she thought about it.
She used to be delicate and quirky when she was dealing with that man.
She used to be delicate and quirky when she was dealing with him, like a little sunshine.
Not at all like nowadays when she was around him, cold, aloof, detached...
"Grandpa wanted to say that Grandma had been too strict with Katie's drawing, and that it had caused her to be rebellious."
"Even though she liked it, she chose dance because others forced her to, but she didn't want to admit defeat and insisted even though she didn't like it."
"So grandpa is trying to say that Katie chose to get married even if she doesn't like it she will stick to it?"
The head of Katie's family was rather speechless.
"That's quite a novel way of looking at things, I was trying to say that you can't just look at things in front of you, look at the long term, Katie started to say that she liked dancing"
"But in the end she chose painting as the best thing to excel at and worked hard to stick to it, so it's clear that she figured out what she really wanted before she made a firm choice,"
"So she must have thought about it herself when she chose to marry you, even if you pushed her?"
It was the first time Liam had ever heard the Katie master talk about this in such a dissecting way.
Because at that time, Miss Katie's fifth young lady was photographed spending the night in a hotel with the heir of Liam's family when she had a fiancé and her wedding date had already been set.
This kind of scandal was directly affecting the interests of the Katie family, causing the stock to fall, and
He looked at the head of the Katie family home with some guilt, and
"Why did grandpa ... would still agree to the marriage knowing that?"
The Katie family master sighed.
"Ethan that child is also a good child, her love for Katie is no less than yours, but he cares about too many things, and after what you did,"
"He still can't bring himself to push Katie, and he has the family to think about, so he's looking over his shoulder, and he missed his best chance a long time ago"
"A son of slow and full plate all fall Suo, but this game of chess is not finished, Ethan is also a do not admit defeat, you if now admit defeat ...."
Without waiting for Katie's master to finish her sentence.
Liam re-twisted a white chess piece and dropped it decisively.
"Didn't lose."
