Chapter 743
Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Vonnie and I have moved from our original small apartment to a spacious villa.
Roddy and Essie are also over three years old. The two little rascals are mischievous. On weekdays, Vonnie and I are quite busy. When we attend events, it is Vonnie’s mother, Hailey, and the household help who take care of the two babies.
That night, there was another large cocktail party to attend. People become famous, and activities like this really happen quite frequently. Vonnie, Anton, and I all received the invitation. Anton would sometimes stay with us for a period of time to make it easier to take care of Essie.
That day he happened to be in Glauvale as well. Anton said, “For this party, the organizers invited prominent figures from all over the world.”
I might run into Reynaldo at this party.
I smiled indifferently, “If it happens, it happens.” Originally, it was time to go back and find him.
Before the party, Vonnie picked out a light purple evening gown for me. When she put the pearl necklace on me and looked at myself in the mirror, she exclaimed, “Ralda, how come I feel like you are getting more beautiful as you get older? Look at this temperament, these eyes and eyebrows, so feminine. And this figure, with a protruding front and a raised back, is amazing. Really, if I were to say you have given birth to two babies, probably no one would believe it. If I were a man, I would have been enchanted by your face. As for that Kimberly, pfft, what is she compared to you? There is no comparison.”
I smiled, didn’t say anything, just pulled her over and helped her straighten out her evening gown.
Over the past two years, Vonnie grew her hair long and permed it into big waves at the ends. She said I had a feminine charm, and I said she had a feminine charm too. Back then, she had short hair and a carefree personality, just like a tomboy. Now, with her hair in waves and delicate makeup, she wore a black strapless fishtail evening gown that accentuated her figure.
I smiled at her and said, “If you keep dressing like this in the future, I bet you will definitely have a lot of admirers.”
“Let’s not talk about it.” Vonnie found a shawl, draped it over her shoulders, and said sullenly, “My mom sees how big your kids are and keeps pushing me to find a boyfriend. She even set up two blind dates for me. You know, during the blind date, I didn’t speak, and the guy didn’t speak either. I was so embarrassed that my toes were about to dig into the ground.”
I chuckled and said, “Hailey is also doing it for your own good. The only thing she’s really worried about now is probably your future.”
“Yeah, so it’s quite annoying. I said I won’t get married or have children in this lifetime, and she knocked my head, saying I’m unfilial. She was just old-fashioned; she didn’t even think about what she had gained when she got married in the first place. Marriage is still not happy."
“There are few good men in this world. I don’t want to get married.”
“Well, she didn’t have a happy marriage, but she had you.”
“Mommy…”
While speaking, two small figures suddenly ran towards us. It was Roddy with Essie.
I looked in the direction they were running, and then I saw Hailey standing at the door, glaring angrily at Vonnie.
