Chapter 713 Violet's Trial
As Jessie's best friend, she really wanted Jessie to let go, give up George and be herself.
Then Jessie would live with more panache and a brighter smile than she did now.
She had persuaded Jessie before, Jessie agreed, but never really did.
So at this point, she had the same thought as Jessie's mother, and she hoped that Jessie would fall in love with another man and start a new relationship, and maybe then, Jessie would become happy. Provided, of course, that the man also loved Jessie.
So now, she was wondering if this Lorenzo who suddenly appeared really loved Jessie or had some purpose for Jessie.
If it was true that he loved Jessie, she supported him to pursue Jessie, if he had other purposes, she would definitely not agree.
Seemingly sensing Violet's eyes, Lorenzo raised his eyes and looked over, right into Violet's alert and inquisitive eyes.
Seeing Violet, Lorenzo raised his eyebrows in surprise, clearly surprised by her arrival.
But soon, he calmed down and gave Violet a slight nod and a polite smile before looking down and reminding Jessie, who had already finished changing her shoes and was getting him his slippers, "Jessie, your friend is here."
"Huh?" Jessie stood up in confusion, "My friend? Where?"
"Jessie." Violet opened her mouth and called out.
Jessie froze for a moment when she heard Violet's voice, then turned her head in surprise and saw Violet, her mouth opened before she could barely find her voice, "Violet? What are you doing here?" Jessie was surprised as she walked towards Violet, "Why didn't you tell me when you came?"
"I want to give you a surprise." Violet said as she took her hand.
Jessie laughed, "I am surprised, but why are you here? I don't know you were coming."
"I decided to come shortly ago." Violet said.
Jessie nodded.
Soon, she thought of something else and asked, "Violet, when did you arrive? Are you alone? Mr. Murphy isn't with you?"
"I've been here talking to your mom for a while, Stanley has work to do." Violet answered.
Jessie added, "So you came alone, the two kids didn't come, right?"
"No, it's safer to leave them in J City." Violet said.
Jessie nodded, "That's right, after all, Ivan is still out there."
Next to her, Jessie's mother saw the two chatting so devotedly, smiled benevolently, then put down the clothes in her hands and went to the kitchen to make tea, giving the place to the three young people. Violet glanced at the man behind Jessie and pretended not to recognize him, "Jessie, this gentleman is?"
"Ah." Jessie heard Violet's words, then remembered there was someone else, smiled embarrassedly, then pointed at Lorenzo and introduced him, "Violet, this is Lorenzo, a neighbor I played well with when I was a child."
"Oh...... Lorenzo. " Violet stroked her chin and deliberately tease, "How come I've never heard you mention him before."
Jessie said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for twenty years, and if it weren't for Lorenzo coming to me this time, I wouldn't have thought of him."
"It's really sad to hear you say that, Jessie." Lorenzo said he was sad, but his eyes were gentle.
He then withdrew his gaze from Jessie, extending his hand towards Violet, "Hello, Mrs. Murphy, nice to meet you, you really are as beautiful as the legend says." Mrs. Murphy?
Hearing the man address her, Violet blinked in surprise, "How do you know my husband's last name is Murphy?"
Was it possible that Jessie had told him?
She looked to Jessie.
Jessie waved her hand and said no.
Lorenzo explained, "I know Mr. Murphy. Once when Mr. Murphy was on a business trip abroad, I was the one in charge of reception, I saw your photo on Mr. Murphy's mobile phone screen, at that time, I was curious and asked Mr. Murphy who the person on the photo was, after all, a person like Mr. Murphy is it not like someone who would use a photo of a pretty woman as wallpaper."
"That's true." Jessie concurred, "If I saw that Mr. Murphy suddenly had a photo of a pretty woman in his phone, I would also be horrified and curious."
Lorenzo nodded, "So I asked boldly, and Mr. Murphy answered me then that it was his wife."
"So that's how it is." Violet nodded slightly.
What he said was well documented and justified, and she didn't really know, for a moment, if he was telling the truth or not.
There was one other thing she was confused about though.
"Mr. Hayes, you don't seem too surprised that I'm here, especially since you're even less surprised that I'm a friend of Jessie's, so could you please tell us the reason? After all, we never knew each other, did we?" Violet narrowed her eyes and stared at him.
Lorenzo knew, of course, that she was very wary of him, and replied with a helpless smile, "Of course, because when I came to J City to look for Jessie, I learned about Jessie, so I took the initiative to look up Jessie's situation, and knowing you, Mrs. Murphy, wasn't a strange thing."
That was true......
Violet pursed her red lips and didn't ask again.
After all, Jessie was here, she should not ask too many questions.
"Strange, what are you all doing standing? Have a seat." Jessie looked at Violet and then Lorenzo, pulling the two of them to sit down.
The two men smiled and took their seats.
Jessie poured a cup of water for each of them, then only then did she say, "You guys talk first, I'll go back to my room to change my clothes." With that, she walked towards the room.
Jessie's departure was good for Violet.
Because she still had so many questions to ask this Lorenzo.
When Jessie was around, it was really embarrassing to ask.
Violet picked up the glass of water, lowered her eyes, and spoke faintly, "Mr. Hayes, I can call you that, right?"Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Of course." Lorenzo nodded his head.
Violet sipped her water, "I heard that you come here to pursue Jessie, right?"
"That's right." Lorenzo responded with a smile.
Violet swirled her water glass, "Do you like Jessie?"
"Or what?" Lorenzo spread his hands.
Violet gave a smile, "Right, if you don't like her and you still approach Jessie, it makes people unhappy, am I right, Mr. Hayes?"
Lorenzo raised his eyebrows, finally understanding what she meant.
No wonder he had just noticed that there was something strange about this woman's attitude towards him.
She did not seem to hate him, but she was cold.
He still couldn't figure out why, but it turned out that this woman thought that he didn't love Jessie and was just deliberately approaching Jessie to hurt her.
So this woman really cared about Jessie.
Thinking of this, Lorenzo chuckled, "Mrs. Murphy, you are right, this kind of behavior, indeed, makes people unhappy."
"So, is this the case with you, Mr. Hayes?" Violet clenched the back of her hand and narrowed her eyes to stare at him.
Lorenzo propped his head up and said with a smile, "Do you think so?"
"I don't know, but I would yes." Violet said, pursing her lips.
The corner of Lorenzo's mouth hooked up, "Oh? Why would you think so? Can I know why?"☐☐☐☐☐
