Chapter 754
Then Quentin came back, and as soon as he finished school, he ran to my bedside to cheer me up. He blew a lot of bubbles for me and even performed magic tricks to produce many new and interesting toys. I had never seen those things before. He said those were things he had run around a lot of places to specially pick out, thinking that I hadn’t seen them before and would probably like them. He said, “As long as I am happy and get better soon, he, as an older brother, is willing to do anything.” Such a good brother, the brother who has cared for me for over twenty years, has disappeared.
After the banquet, Quentin stayed in Glauvale for another two days. Of course, all of this was what Anton told me. Quentin wanted to see his nephew, couldn’t reach me and Vonnie, so he turned to Anton. He only stayed with Anton for two days, and Anton still didn’t tell him any news about me and the babies. He saw no hope and there were many things happening in Freybourne, so he had to go back first.
After the banquet came to an end, I started planning my return to Freybourne. Anton said, “Vonnie’s role in Freybourne has been set, she will go to Freybourne in about ten days.” He asked me to go back with them, which was a good reason. Yes, Reynaldo himself said that I am never allowed to return to Freybourne in this lifetime, so this time when I went back, I had to have a reason. Just the thought of Essie’s illness made me feel very restless and anxious. Four years later, I still didn’t know how to face that man, or with what kind of mood. Not to mention having a third child with him. Thinking about it made me feel annoyed.
Three days after the banquet ended, Vonnie came to tell me that she was going on a blind date and asked me to lend her Essie and Roddy. And I never expected that her blind date this time turned out to be an acquaintance. Vonnie most detested blind dates in her daily life. Hailey introduced her to many potential suitors, including the sons of her classmates, her friends, her colleagues, and even her friends’ friends. Any eligible young man, Hailey would try to set her up with. Vonnie now gets a headache whenever she hears the words “blind date.” At first, she would go to meet the blind date, but later on, as the number of times increased, she couldn’t be bothered to go anymore. Hailey said that she was just “going in one ear and out the other.”
Hailey saw that she was becoming more and more resistant to blind dates, so she finally took a break for a while. I didn’t expect that just half a year later, Hailey started again. What surprised me was that Vonnie actually agreed to meet the blind date this time. This made Hailey very happy, so she quickly pulled out a few sets of ladylike dresses from the closet and asked me to help Vonnie choose. Those several dresses were all bought by her specifically for Vonnie to wear on blind dates. Vonnie didn’t like her own clothes; she thought they were too revealing and too flashy. Hailey was a very conservative and traditional person. She eagerly asked me to help Vonnie choose, and I didn’t have the heart to tell her that the styles of those dresses had been out of date for a long time, and the colors were also very outdated.
