Chapter 52

“Who knows? He told his friends that he was pressured into marriage by his mother before, and seeing that Reynaldo has two children, he impulsively wanted to get married and have children.”

But recently, having calmed down, he found that marriage is not that great either, not as carefree and free as before.

“No!” I exclaimed angrily. “If he doesn’t want to marry you, why would he provoke you?”

Vonnie shook her head and said chokingly, “I don’t know what he was thinking. When he found me outside the private room, he was also anxious and chased after me. He pulled me aside and said, ‘It’s not that he doesn’t want to get married, he just isn’t ready yet.’ He also said that his words just now were a moment of madness, not his true feelings.”

I didn’t believe it at all. If those words weren’t what he was thinking in his heart, why would he say them?

“Isn’t he, Johnathan, just a playboy? Can I expect a playboy to change his ways?”

I hugged her and whispered, “Let’s see how he behaves next.”

“Actually, during this period of time together, I could feel that he cared about me, but I couldn’t accept his words. Did I ever mention marriage to him, Ralda? Did I pressure him to marry me? Why did he say those things to his friends? It made me feel like I had to marry him!”

Vonnie said angrily with red eyes, and in the end, she choked up with a sense of grievance.

I sighed and suddenly remembered the scene when I first met Johnathan. At that time, he was in the club with his friends, looking carefree and debonair, like a playboy. Indeed, Johnathan was a playboy from the very beginning. However, the prodigal son may one day really turn back; he just needs a little time.

But who can say for sure about these things, so I didn’t know how to comfort her for a while. I could only let her vent her emotions first. Fortunately, Vonnie has always been an optimistic girl. She cried and scolded Johnathan, and her grievances were finally calmed down.

When her mood calmed down, she started to think about important matters.

“By the way, Ralda, there’s a party tomorrow night. We should go.”

I was taken aback. “What party?”

“Anton informed me that he wanted me to tell you that the investors, producers, director, and several lead actors of the film Rose Queen will all be attending. Anton told me that this gathering was mainly to welcome Mr. Russell and get to know each other.”

I nodded. “Has the shooting day been set?”

“Okay, tomorrow we have a party. If everything goes well, I will probably go to the film crew the day after tomorrow.”

“Well, have you familiarized yourself with the script recently?”

“I certainly watched it again.” Vonnie said excitedly when mentioning this. “Let me tell you, I imagined myself as the second female lead, and when I read the script, it really made me feel so happy. Ralda, you used to visit me every day. See if I don’t slap Kimberly to death!”

“Okay, I will definitely go every day.”

Vonnie’s mood improved, and I felt more at ease.

Vonnie suddenly looked around the living room again and said, “Ralda, this house is really nice. It has the layout and decoration style that I like. It’s just that without Roddy and Essie’s two kids, this house feels so empty.”

“So, did you just let those two kids stay at Reynaldo’s place like that?”
