I had a hunch that Ariel had fallen for Damon. This happened way faster than anything in my past life. Was it because of my ddling? I was about to like her Facebook post, but I was afraid Ariel might have Damon as a friend who could see my sneaky like and cause trouble. Whatever, they were destined to be together. I put down my phone, made sure Bonny was settled, and went back to my room to sleep. Before I could drift off, Jonesl video called . I hesitated, then answered the call. The screen showed what looked like a hotel room, with Jones sitting in a wicker chair sipping coffee. "How’s Bonny? Still behaving? Can you handle it?" he asked when he saw . I was surprised to see this soft side of Jones!. Bonny was like his beloved daughter and he was the doting dad. His question made feel like we were an old couple discussing how easy or hard it was to raise kids. "She’s good, very obedient, even goes to the bathroom on her own," I replied lazily, rolling onto my stomach on the bed. "That’s good. If it’s convenient, you can take her to the pet store in the next couple of days to give her a bath and get her a scheduled deworming treatnt," Jones casually instructed from the tiny screen. "Do you think I’m your nanny?" I glared at Jones, trying to look as fierce as possible. "Believe it or not, I’ll sell your cat online if I have to." To my surprise, Jones started laughing. He and Damon both had this aloof deanor when they weren’t smiling, but when they did smile, it was the kind that made you feel like a warm breeze had brushed past. Luckily, I’d seen my fair share of handso guys and had developed so resistance. After marveling
at Jones’s good looks for a mont, I snapped back to reality. "What are you laughing at? I really will sell your cat."
"Go ahead." Jones seed to underestimate . I rolled my eyes at him. "Hang up, I need to sleep." "There’s sothing I need to tell you," Jones said, his tone turning serious. "Damon and Ariel are here too. I heard Ariel ca with the school band for a performance." After a few seconds of silence, I said, "Okay, got it." I hung up and turned over in bed, staring blankly at the vibrant crystal light on the ceiling. Why was Damon becoming harder to understand? During my past life, I seed to know him better. He loved Ariel, like crazy. But now, I feep lost. He seed to like Ariel, but he also seed to change his attitude towards . He was having sex with the night before last, even building a snowman for , but then he took Ariel to another city today. When Ariel posted on Facebook, Damon must’ve been next to her. I suddenly understood, Ariel had specifically posted it for to see. I should have the answer as to whether or not she was special in Damon’s heart. I had a restless night and woke up with dark circles under my eyes. The housemaids looked concerned when they saw , but I brushed them off. The snowman was still standing outside in the cold wind, its scarf had fallen off at so point. I went out to put it back on and touched its nose with a bitter smile. Just as I was feeling down, Luna called. "Eliana, my dad’s gone crazy." she yelled, her loud voice making my ears ring. "What happened?" I was startled. "He actually wants to go on a blind date." Luna couldn’t believe it. "There are so many single guys out there, so many hearts will be broken if I get married. Who knows what kind of social harm that might cause." I helplessly held my forehead, Luna was very averse to the whole marriage thing, and was all about dating and not marriage, but at this age, her family would put a lot of pressure on her, and she was probably a bit overwheld by it. "Why don’t you just go through the motions, just take a look. Haven’t you been on blind dates before?" I comforted the angry Luna. "I’m not going! That guy is bald!" Luna roared. "Let’s go out for a al, I need so good food to cheer up." She changed the topic. "Okay, okay, where should we go?" I asked. "Silver star Restaurant, see you in half an hour." Luna hung up after giving the address. I grabbed a coat and headed out. When I arrived at Silver Star Restaurant, I saw that Sofia and Clara were also there. The restaurant was warm and cozy. I took off my coat and sat next to Stella. "So you’re really not going on a date with the egghead?" Luna was drinking lemon water and almost spit it out when she heard . She burst into laughter, clutching her stomach, "Hahaha... Eliana, I think ’egghead’ is a perfect description for him, hahaha..." Sofia and Clara, who must’ve heard about Luna’s blind date, laughed at the nickna I’d randomly chosen. After she finished laughing, Luna wiped her tears and said breathlessly, "I...I’m not going. I told my dad, if I’m going to marry, it’ll be to a handso guy." "Not just handso, but also from a good family." Sofia chid in. Ever since Ian cheated on her leading to their broken engagent, she’d been very rational and no longer believed in passionate love. Marriage was about partnering in life, not charity. "Of course, by the way, has Ian stopped bothering you?" Clara asked. Sofia’s smile faded and she shook her head. Then she turned to , looking a bit worried. "Eliana, Ian hasn’t bothered anymore, he doesn’t have the audacity to. But I heard from a friend that he can’t find work anywhere and is having a hard ti in the city. He must’ve taken a huge hit and is blaming you for telling the truth..."
Before I could even get a word in, Luna started cursing, "Damn it, what the hell is this? He’s a real piece of work, doing all kinds of sleazy things but can’t handle being called out? If he dares to lay a finger on Eliana, I swear I’ll hire soone to beat him to a pulp!" "Calm down, calm down," I quickly tried to soothe Luna, patting her on the back. This girl’s got a serious sense of loyalty, but she was also quick-tempered. As soon as she heard what I said, Luna quickly scooped up a bowl of chicken soup and gulped it down after blowing on it. When I originally fild and took pictures of Ian’s affair, I already braced myself for his backlash, so I was not surprised. Although he was nowhere in my league and it wouldn’t be easy for him to touch , people can get pretty crazy when they were backed into a corner. I guess I should thank Sofia for the heads up, I’ll be more careful from now on.
