I originally planned to go back before Luna gave birth, to be there for the arrival of the new life, to share that joy.
However, she went into labor earlier than expected, and I couldn’t make it back in ti.
What I received was the news of her joy and a photo of the baby
Sure enough, she had twins, a boy, and a girl, which was just perfect.
The two babies in the photo had tender skin, and their little eyes were still closed, which really made people feel sorry
I often thought of my lost child. If she were still here, she would be born soon, would she also have tender skin and be incredibly cute?
Since I couldn’t make it back in ti, I chose to continue traveling.
And so, two years passed.
The nights in the city were still charming
I was sitting in a taxi, the window half–open, watching the dazzling neon lights illuminate the city
The driver was very concerned about economic affairs, and his radio was broadcasting various economic news, including news about the city.
"...this will be the third welfare ho built by Coleman Co. in the past year..."
This was the second ti I heard about Damon,
Over the past two years, Luna and her family never ntioned Damon and Ariel in front of , and I deliberately avoided all news about them.
Apart from my parents and Luna, I didn’t tell anyone my new phone number, including Jones, Joshua
"Mr. Coleman is really a good man!" The driver suddenly exclaid to , "I have a neighbor who is a young couple. They died in a car accident. Their son is only five years old and has been sent to the welfare ho. Children without parents are really pitiful, at least they have a ho with the welfare ho"
"Yeah, that’s true." I nodded in agreent.
At this point, my phone rang, it was a ssage from my mom: [Where are you? Call when you get there, rember to change your clothes.]
Parents are niggling. After two years of traveling around, they finally couldn’t help but urge to co back and hope that I could find a good man.
They knew that I didn’t plan to be single for a lifeti, so they were very dedicated to helping find my other half.
My father’s wish was to help find a good family before he retired.
There’s a ball tonight, my mom knew the ti of my plane landing, she insisted that I attend, because she heard that there would be a lot of rich and handso n.
I replied to her: [I’ll be there soon]
As soon as I replied to the ssage, the car had already stopped at the hotel entrance.
I paid the fare, took my small suitcase, and walked into the hotel, heading straight for the ballroom on the top floor.
"Eliana, hurry up!" My mom was waiting for at the entrance of the ball, her eyes squinting with joy when she saw .
I went over and hugged her, "Mom, I miss you so much!"
"Your dad and I miss you too. Have you traveled enough in these two years? Co back and settle down, Luna’s twins can walk now. They call mom and dad so sweetly, Sofia also got a boyfriend, now only you and Clara are single." My mom said, patting my hand.
"Even though you verbally agreed to be single for life, your actions are quite busy" I pretended to be angry.
"You didn’t try your best to find, did you? If you tried but still couldn’t find, your dad and I won’t urge you." My mom responded.
I sighed helplessly, "Alright, where’s the dress you prepared for ? I want to dazzle the crowd later and make all the n fascinated by "
My mom laughed, "Stop talking, here you go!"
She handed the bag in her hand.
I took the bag, walked into a resting room in the venue with my small suitcase, where there was an independent changing room.
I walked in and took out the dress my mom had prepared for .
The older generation doesn’t pay much attention to design and fashion, they prefer things that are atmospheric and decent, so my mom chose for a blue retro long dress.
The boldest design was on the back, revealing one third of my back, and the rest was tightly covered.
But there was a problem, the zipper at the back needed soone to help pull up.
I didn’t care about the zipper, first put on the accessories my mom prepared for one by one, then I had to put on so light makeup.
Suddenly, there was a voice outside the changing room.
" There are so many handso guys here today, they all ca! Why didn’t so many people co before?"
You may not know, the adopted daughter of the vice president of Stellar Enterprises is back in the country and is said to be looking for companies to cooperate with here. The initial amount of investnt is set at 100 million US dollars, many companies want a piece of the pie, those n are all here for her."
"Isn’t Stellar Enterprises foreign? Are they developing in our country?"
"Yes, their boss’s wife is from our country, they adopted a girl a few years ago, so they are here to invest and cooperate, I guess."
"What’s the adopted daughter’s na? Will she co to the ball?"
"She hasn’t arrived yet, let’s see when she does."
I listened to their conversation, then there was so chit–chat, they chatted for about ten or fifteen minutes before leaving.
I packed up my makeup and left the changing room, then called my mom to co over and help pull up the zipper, otherwise it didn’t look neat.
"Mom, can you co to resting room number 5? I can’t reach the back zipper of this dress,"
I said helplessly, "I hurt my elbow while skiing a few days ago and can’t force it back..."
As I was speaking, suddenly I felt a hand on my back, pulling up my zipper for .
I turned around in surprise and saw Clara’s face.
Clara gave a light pat on the forehead, "You still rember to co back?"
"Mom, no need, Clara is here." I quickly hung up the phone, then happily hugged Clara, "Clara, did you miss ?"
"Yeah, but you’ve been abroad for so long, you’ve forgotten about us good friends, hmph." Clara was obviously pretending to be angry.
I laughed and replied, "No, I ca back, didn’t I? But how did you co? Don’t you have to work?"
Clara’s face imdiately turned gloomy, "Don’t ntion it, that adopted daughter of the vice president of Stellar Enterprises, Zoe, is coming to the ball, attracting a lot of rich people. My parents asked to co and check it out, get a boyfriend."
Our experiences were really similar.
"I’m the sa as you, let’s go together." I took Clara’s hand, and we walked out of the resting room together.
The atmosphere today was hopping. The dance hadn’t even officially kicked off yet, but there were already a bunch of young dudes, looking sharp and full of pep, all masked up in all sorts of half–face disguises.
By contrast, there were far fewer young ladies.
The mont Clara and I step in, we’re imdiately invited for drinks.
Sure, most people ca for Zoe, but not everyone was hoping to catch her fancy. The competition’s fierce and the outco was hard to predict.
Clara and I, though, aren’t really on the hunt for partners. She’s got family pressure, and , I’ve got my mom’s health on my mind. She’s been hospitalized again due to her condition.
Even if it’s just to make her happy, I need to seriously start looking for soone.
