“Since you bought it at the counter, it’s not the box, but my strength.”
Ben heard that she seemed to be sarcastic, but there was no evidence. And said, “Then I’ll pick a stronger box next time.”
“Next time?” Gwen asked, “Do you like giving people gifts so much?”
Ben Schaffer denied: “It’s usually others who give me gifts.”
Gwen: “Are you reminding me that I didn’t return the gift to you?”
“Oh no! I’m answering your last question. I mean that people usually give me a little more gifts, and I rarely pick them out myself.” Ben’s cheeks flushed, obviously annoyed by her words, “I’ve basically never given gifts to women now, except for female relatives at home, then Averie, Layla and you.”
“You said that. I don’t dare to accept your gifts. I can’t accept gifts that you personally choose.”
Ben Schaffer said, “Forget about the gifts. Did your agent come with you? “
Gwen: “No.”
“Then you can eat well.” Ben Schaffer wanted to take her to the buffet area to eat.
“I’m going to participate in the competition next month. Even if my agent doesn’t come, I can’t eat indiscriminately.” Gwen pushed his hand away, “Don’t do anything to me, otherwise people will misunderstand our relationship and it won’t work. Okay.”
Ben Schaffer’s face was stunned: “I don’t care.”
“I care!” Gwen looked embarrassed, “If there is a good man at the scene who falls in love with me at first sight and wants to come over to chat with you, but sees that I can’t talk to you clearly, others will definitely not dare to come over.”
Ben Schaffer: “!!!”
“Do you have anything else to ask me about the news? If there is nothing else, then I’ll go first.” Gwen saw Averie and the others coming over, so she finished talking, and walked away.
Seeing Gwen, Averie immediately introduced her friend to Gwen.
“Gwen, this is Shea, this is Shea’s boyfriend Wesley. Wesley is also my senior brother. This is Adrian, Adrian is Shea’s brother.” Averie put the man beside him After being introduced to Gwen one by one, her eyes finally fell on Elyette, “This is your second brother, Elyette.”
Gwen’s face flushed red: “I met him just now.”
“Well… Your second brother looks serious, but he is actually a very gentle person.” Averie wanted to ease the relationship between the two of them.
“Averie, don’t worry about me and her, don’t worry.” Elyette interrupted her, “I’m a little hungry, are you hungry?”
“I’m also a little hungry. The food in this buffet, the chef of our last wedding banquet made it.” Averie smiled and continued, “I didn’t eat at the last wedding, but Chad said the chef’s cooking was very good.”
“I didn’t eat it last time.” Tammy said. She looked regretful, “Unfortunately, I don’t have a good appetite right now.”
“Do you have anything you want to eat? I’ll ask the chef to make it for you alone.” Averie asked.
Tammy shook her head: “I can’t eat anything. I drank some rice soup in the morning, but I didn’t dare to eat the porridge, and I felt nauseous. But I’m not hungry, so you don’t have to worry.”
Averie: “Well, have you met with Jun? He even greeted me when he came.”
Tammy said casually, “I didn’t meet him. I guess he avoided me. You guys go eat. Don’t mind me. I’ll find a place to sit for a while.”
Tammy found a chair next to her and sat down, then took out her mobile phone, intending to play a game.
Gwen couldn’t eat, so she walked over to Tammy sat down and said, “Tammy, you can’t eat this heavy food, can you eat fruit?”
“I can eat some fruit, but not too much. If I eat too much, I will vomit.” Tammy put down her phone and looked at her, “I saw you just now that you chatted with Ben Schaffer.”
Gwen said sternly: “Ben sent me a message before and I didn’t reply, so he asked me why I didn’t reply.”
“That’s it. Then why didn’t you reply to his message? Do you hate him?” Tammy chatted about gossip, and suddenly became energetic.
After thinking for a while, Gwen shook her head and said, “I don’t hate him.”
Tammy: “I heard from Averie that Ben wanted to chase you.”
Ben: “Really? Why didn’t I hear about it.”
“You can feel whether he is interested in you or not.” Tammy is experienced after all, “You should also like him, right? Are you hanging him on purpose?”
Gwen shook her head again: ” Hayden asked me not to fall in love now. He said that I have nothing now, and even if I am with a good man, others will look down on me. I think Hayden is right. So I will not fall in love for the time being.”
“Hayden really said that?” Tammy was very surprised, “He is too precocious.”
“Well…” Gwen knew that Tammy was pregnant, so she looked at her lower abdomen, “How many months is your child?”
“It’s been two months. I will endure for another month, and my child will almost have no accidents.” Tammy showed a smile, “It’s so hard. The main reason is that I can’t eat enough every day and I’m hungry every day.”
“Me too. I..I’m really hungry right now, but I can’t eat. I’m going to race next month, and I have to finish…”
Not far away, Ben Schaffer bumped Jun’s elbow: “Gwen and your wife were chatting.”
“I have been in a cold war with her for a month.” Jun did not dare to look at Tammy at all.
It’s not that I’m afraid of her, but I’m afraid that I will soften my heart when I see her.
“Is it necessary for you to compete with a pregnant woman?” Ben Schaffer advised Jun, “We men should be more open-minded.”
“Brother Ben, I know you’re chasing Gwen recently, and you’re very thick-skinned.” Jun picked up a glass of wine and clinked with him, “But Tammy an I are different from you. Even if I make up with her, she and my mother will still quarrel.”
“Then let them fight. Ben Schaffer suggested to him, “I know you are going to talk about your mother’s high blood pressure. Of course you can’t be an unfilial son, but you can also be ‘sick’”
Jun: “???”
He asked suspiciously Eyes, looking at Ben Schaffer.
“Your mother is only your son, and she must think of you more than her grandson. You are healthy now, of course she dares to threaten you. What if you are not so healthy?” Ben Schaffer leaned into his ear and said, “There are so many now. People have depression, etc. This kind of disease cannot be stimulated. If your mother knows that you are depressed, she will dare to force you.”
Jun suddenly realized that he drank the wine in the wine glass.
Buffet area.
After Averie ate something, she suddenly remembered Elyette’s phone call just now. She asked, “Elyette, who called you just now?”
Elyette’s heart beat suddenly faster.
A flustered look flashed across his eyes, and after he took a deep breath, he said, “A sales call.”
Elyette’s mood was very messy, he hasn’t figured out how to tell Averie that his biological mother is still alive, and he has contacted him through various channels.
From Elyette’s cold and warm attitude towards Gwen, it can be guessed that Elyette has no expectations for this biological mother.
When Elyette needed mother’s love the most, this woman didn’t give him any warmth, and now he is strong enough to not need this woman to play the role of a loving mother.
Averie saw that his expression was a little unnatural, so she followed his words and asked, “What are you selling?”
Elyette replied without thinking, “House.”
Averie: “Haha, what did you say.”
Elyette said lightly, “I said I wanted to buy the house where I live in now. The other party was stunned and then I hung up the call.”
Averie: “Didn’t he hear your voice?”
Elyette: “I’m not a big star.”
“Well, for me, you are more radiant than a big star.” Averie looked at Elyette tenderly, and boasted, “You are looking very handsome today.”
Averie complimented him so earnestly that Elyette couldn’t help blushing.
Elyette looked at her bright and moving face and whispered: “You are also exceptionally beautiful today.”
Averie: “Do you mean that I am not beautiful usually?”
“You are beautiful usually, you are beautiful every day.” Elyette praised as he touched her, her ears burned.
Hayden and Layla were eating not far from them, but when they heard the two of them were talking about love, the two children moved away immediately.
“Brother, did you hear Mom and Dad talking just now?” Layla said with a bright smile, “Since Mom and Dad came back from Yonroeville, the two of them have become more and more childish.”
This topic made Hayden at a loss.
“Why didn’t Uncle Eric come?” Hayden changed the subject.
“Uncle Eric will come later. He is very busy.” Layla looked sad, “I don’t know if I will be as busy as Uncle Eric when I grow up. If I am so busy in the future, then I can’t play with you at home a lot.”
“Layla, everyone has their own business to do when they grow up. When you get married, you won’t play with Robert and me. You will play with your husband.” Hayden found a chair in the corner and sat down.
