Will looked at Pearly's expression and suddenly scolded Kendric with dissatisfaction, "Kendric, what are you talking about? Pearly is our guest. You can't be so rude."
"She is invited by you, not me."
"You –" Will was so angry that his blood pressure was rising.
Betty quickly took his hand and comforted him. "Will, don't be angry. Kendric doesn't know the good news. When he knows it, he will be happy. Of course, he will be familiar with Pearly. Isn't that right?"
Will kept breathing, barely suppressing the anger in his heart, and said to everyone, "Sit down and eat first. Let's talk while eating."
Kendric was like a walking international etiquette book, and his eating manner was also elegant. He was extraordinary and excellent.
Pearly had seen to many men, but none of them was as excellent and handsome as Kendric. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. Thus, she made eyes to him all the time.
However, Kendric was like a stone and turned a blind eye to her.
While eating, Will took the opportunity to say, "Kendric, I call you came back today, because I had something to discuss with you."
"Are you sure it's a discussion?" Kendric put down the knife and fork and elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin. He looked extremely handsome.
"I'm here to tell you, where the engagement ceremony of you and Pearly will be held." Finishing his words, Will coughed slightly, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
"Am I getting engaged? When? Why did I not know it?" Kendric looked at Pearly and asked politely, "Miss Shin, do you know it?"
Pearly Shin looked at Will and Betty with confusion. "Uncle Will, Auntie Betty..."
Betty hurriedly comforted Pearly, "Pearly, Kendric has been too busy these days, and we haven't yet had time to inform him, but you are so beautiful. Kendric must like you. Kendric, don't you think so?"
"Beautiful?" Kendric started at Pearly's face. "The corners of your eyes are open, your nose is covered, and your chin is ground. You must have done plastic surgery at least more than a dozen times. If it weren't for your ugly appearance, why do you have to make plastic surgery for so many times? If my child was born in the future, I have to check on the DNA to know whether he is biological child or not." Kendric said faintly, but Pearly quickly turn pale.
"Kendric you…" Pearly was proud of her own face, but now it became the most embarrassing evidence. What was worse, what he said was right. She had done plastic surgery on her eyes, nose, and chin. She really did not expect that Kendric would say these words directly in front of so many people. Pearly almost cried with anger.
Seeing that Pearly's eyes were red, Will immediately said, "Kendric, everyone wants to be beautiful. When Pearly was a child, she was beautiful and had a good foundation. You can rest assured that the children he gave birth to will also be good-looking in the future."
"Oh, really? Since she's so beautiful, why don't you keep her for yourself? It's okay to take her as your second wife."
"You…" Will almost had a heart attack because of Kendric. "Kendric, what are you talking about?"
"Can't you understand my meaning?"
It was because Will had understood the meaning that he got angry. However, he felt depressed and hurt himself. "You… you are an unfilial son…"
"Well, Kendric, don't make your father angry. He has high blood pressure and heart disease. You can see that he is going to be sick." Betty pretended to act as a virtuous look and advised Kendric.
Kendric smiled faintly and said, "He had done the same thing before. If you don't monitor him carefully, he may find a young woman to be his second wife." Because of his words, all the people were involved.
It was unbearable to recall the past. For so many years, Betty had borne all the insults and pretended that she had already let go of everything. But Kendric's existence was the evidence of her greatest shame.
It was the evidence of her husband's derailment during her pregnancy. She had been laughed by others for a lifetime.
For a time, Betty was angry, and she also hated Kendric. After glaring at Kendric, she simply stopped talking.
Kendric saw this and smiled lightly. He stood up slowly and said, "I'm full. I'll take my leave first."
"Stop!" Seeing that Kendric really left, Will wanted to stop him in a hurry. However, Kendric left directly without looking back.
Seeing the bag next to his hand, Kendric frowned. Thingking of the intimate interaction between Hannah and James in the playground, he was angry. This woman didn't have the attitude to be a wife at all.
Until there was a sudden vibration in the bag. It was Hannah's phone ringing.
The vibration was not too big. It should be a text message. Kendric didn't pay attention to it at first, but later, he opened Hannah's bag and there were some text message and phone numbers on her phone.
Just now, it was James who sent a message to Hannah, saying, "I'm downstairs. Do you want to come down for a walk?"
"A walk? A date?" The intimate picture of the two of them automatically appeared in Kendric's mind. He was slightly unhappy and replied, "No, thanks."
James stared at the text and smiled faintly. Just as he was about to ask for the reason, he saw Hannah walking towards him. She was carrying a book and her hands were full. James frowned and walked up to her.
"Hannah."
"Oh, Teacher James."
James observed Hannah's actions and said to her, "Would you like to take a walk?"
"Err…" Hannah seemed hesitant.
"I want to tell you something about studies."
"That's fine."
So James knew that the person who replied to his text message was not Hannah, then who was it?
After Hannah left, James texted her again, "So, you want to meet me by chance. That's a surprise. Well, go to bed early. We'll meet tomorrow."
Kendric looked at the text message sent by James coldly. Hannah took a walk with James again, didn't she?
When Hannah returned to the dormitory, she heard Lily saying, "Hey, Hannah, where is your mobile phone? The head teacher was looking for you, but she called me."
"What's more, Hannah your express mail has also arrived, and the courier called me to inform you."
"And Hannah, could you lend me your class notes?"
When there was a mobile phone, she felt just so. But without a phone, all kinds of things are inconvenient. It's like losing something when she went out. And her wallet, all cards are in the bag, such as her lunch card, back card. Today's meal is all at Lily's expense.
Hannah was so anxious that she used Lily's phone to call Kendric. However, she didn't connect him successfully.
"Brother, I'm going back to Y City next month, are you going to pick me up?" On the phone, Farah George's voice sounded like a little girl.
In fact, Farah was still very naïve, a little arrogant and capricious, but these shortcomings were completely negligible for Kendric because Farah his biological younger sister.
"Okay." Kendric loved his younger sister very much.
"Thank you, brother. Am I going to take up a post in Y University? Can I?"
"Y University?" Kendric's eyebrows seemed to be profounder. That was Hannah's school, also the place where James was working.
"Yes." Farah smiled sweetly over the phone. "I'm going to find James. I want to be their college counselor."
Kendric didn't say anything.
"Brother, do you still listen to me?"
"Yes, I got it."
"Thank you, brother." Farah was very happy on the other side. "I know you're the best."
Suddenly, another call came in Kendric's phone. He frowned and said to Farah, "I'll be busy first."
"Okay, bye."
Finally, the phone was connected and Hannah said directly. "Where are you right now? I'm going back to look for you now."
Kendric raised his eyebrows and looked at distant moutain outside. His expression was cold and he said. "What's the matter?"
How harsh these words were! "Do I have to ask you for help? Don't forget, we have the marriage certificate!" In the bathroom, Hannah said the relationship between them. "Do I still need to make an appointment when I see my husband?"
"Now you think that you have a husband?" Kendric's voice was too cold.
Hannah was stunned. She could not figure out how she had offended him.
"Did I do something wrong to you?" She was puzzled.
Because she really needed her phone.
In the end, Kendric could not bear to listen any longer. What was he doing? Why should he be angry because of James? Usually, he seldom revealed his emotions, so he quickly regained his composure and said to her, "The manor."
Hannah still remembered that place.
