Chapter 230 Can only be ordinary friends
Airport.
See off Bomu and Aaron Jewell, Amanda Jewell and Iverson Byran standing in the hall.
“You already knew about Aaron Jewell’s going abroad to study?”
Amanda Jewell’s eyes are red.
Iverson Byran nodded slightly. “I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry what? I really should thank you, thank you and your dopted mother for your help. If it weren’t for the sake of you and your dopted mother, Aaron Jewell wouldn’t have got Steven’s recommendation letter, and wouldn’t have applied to the school so smoothly. ”
“Aaron Jewell is very talented in architecture. Even without the help of my mother and Steven, it’s only a matter of time before he can apply to a prestigious school.”
“Thank you anyway.”
Amanda Jewell took a deep breath and looked at the time. “Go back.”
“I’ll give you a ride.”
“No, Ran Yue is waiting for me outside.”
Amanda Jewell looked pale and put her hands in her trench coat pockets. “When you are free, let’s go and get the divorce formalities done.”
Iverson Byran’s brow suddenly frowned. “Are you in such a hurry to divorce me?”
“The agreements have been signed, and divorce is a matter of time.”
With that, Amanda Jewell has seen the car parked outside. “Here comes the car. I’ll go first.”
Looking at Amanda Jewell’s back without looking back, the veins stood out on Iverson Byran’s arm.
Amanda Jewell’s free and easy manner annoyed him when he said goodbye to his relationship and marriage.
After Bo and Aaron Jewell left, Amanda Jewell suddenly felt a lot deserted around her. No one called herself to go shopping every once in a while, except for work or work.
It happened that the cooperative project between Safe Home and the Sean Group started, and it took more than two months. During the pregnancy test, Amanda Jewell was reminded to pay attention to rest, so she stopped working and went home to have an abortion.
On the second day of vacation, Patrick Dolley came to the house, carrying bags of things.
“Some nutritional supplements brought back from abroad by colleagues in the law firm are good for pregnant women.”
“Thank you, but do you think there are still a few supplements here?”
Amanda Jewell, with a big belly, showed Patrick Dolley around the storage room. “These are all sent back from abroad by my adopted mother, and bought by Joleen Lewis, and sent by Anne and others … this can’t be eaten until the baby is born.”
“It’s better to eat slowly than nothing when you need it.”
Patrick Dolley moved things in and helped Amanda Jewell to sit down. “The due date is three months away?”
“Almost.”
“Your mother is not here with you either. Can you do it alone?”
“Please celebrate the Lunar New Year. You know my mother. It won’t help her here, but it will make trouble.”
As soon as Aaron Jewell went abroad, Amanda Jewell sent Mrs. Elder Jewell back to her hometown. Although the business of Mahjong Hall is not big, it is still more than enough for the elderly to pass the time, so as to prevent her from staying in the city for a long time.
“Iverson Byran? Have you been here? ”
“I asked his assistant to deliver things several times, but I turned them down.”
Patrick Dolley hesitated for a moment, then suddenly took out a box. “Amanda, I’ve always wanted to give this to you before, and I just brought it here today.”
“A gift? It’s not a festival, and my birthday has passed for a long time. ”
“It’s not a birthday present. Today is the anniversary of our acquaintance, ten years.”
Patrick Dolley opened the box. Inside it was a platinum ring, and a bright diamond with at least three carats, a pale yellow square diamond, was set on the ring holder. It was valuable at first glance.
Amanda Jewell immediately stood up and even took a half step back. “Patrick Dolley, you …”
“I really regret these years that I didn’t have enough ability and courage to pursue you at the beginning. I actually had a chance after your divorce from Halley Sean, but I always wanted to take my time, but time didn’t wait for me. Now I don’t want to wait any longer. Amanda, give me a chance to take care of you and your children.”
Patrick Dolley held up his hand. “I swear, I will treat him as my own, and I will be kind to you and every one of your family.”
Amanda Jewell was so scared that she didn’t speak for a long time.
She knew Patrick Dolley had a good feeling for herself. There were many people who liked her in college, but then they all faded away. Besides, they have been friends for ten years.
“Patrick Dolley, I always feel that you treat me the same way as you treat Joleen Lewis, and even you have more affection for Joleen Lewis. After all, you have been together longer, so don’t make such a decision because you sympathize with me.”
“Sympathy? What makes you think it’s sympathy? Amanda, I’m serious. I bought this ring immediately after your divorce from Halley Sean. I really didn’t expect you to be with Iverson Byran. ”
“You wait first.”
Amanda Jewell felt that her mind was a little confused now. “Aren’t you with Joleen Lewis?”
“Joleen Lewis?” Patrick Dolley looked grim. “She told you that?”
“No, I saw you at Joleen Lewis’s house that night. Aren’t you together?”
That night, I saw Patrick Dolley in Joleen Lewis’s apartment. Although I didn’t think much about it at that time, when I thought about it later, she was secretly happy for Joleen Lewis, thinking that they were having an affair in private and didn’t expose it herself.
Patrick Dolley immediately explained, “You misunderstood. Joleen Lewis and I are really talking about work. She and I are just friends.”
“I thought we were just friends, too.”
Amanda Jewell, tell Patrick Dolley to be quiet.
“We will only be friends, too. I’m sorry, Patrick Dolley.”
“What did I do not do well enough?”
“You’re excellent, really,” Amanda Jewell glanced at the diamond ring. “The diamond ring is also beautiful, but feelings have little to do with whether the other person is excellent or not. I’ve always regarded you as a partner, a good friend, or even a brother. Every time I have something, you will help me. Similarly, if you have something, I will certainly help you.”
“Maybe feelings can be cultivated?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Others may be able to, but I know I can”t.” Amanda Jewell shook her fist. “You should understand.”
We both know why, but Patrick Dolley still won’t give up. “Because of Iverson Byran?”
Amanda Jewell’s eyes flashed, and there was no positive answer.
Downstairs of the community.
Patrick Dolley got on the bus and sat in the car for a long time before leaving.
I didn’t notice a white car parked nearby, and Joleen Lewis was sitting in it.
She called Patrick Dolley, “Hello? Is it me? ”
“What’s the matter?”
The male voice on the other end of the phone is very cold, even a bit impatient.
“Something happened. I took a leave of absence from the company. After half a year’s leave, I want to go back to my hometown to spend time with my parents.”
“Oh.”
“Is there anything you want to say to me?” Joleen Lewis clenched his cell phone and looked forbearing. “Don’t ask me why I took such a long leave, either?”
“Everyone has their own choice, and you make your own decisions about your affairs.” Patrick Dolley didn’t care at all, and his words changed. “You didn’t mention our affairs to Amanda, did you?”
Joleen Lewis paused. “No.”
Patrick Dolley said, “That’s good. I proposed to Amanda.”
