Harley gently lowered his eyes and looked at the phone in his hand… Yeah, she knows better than anyone the fact that he doesn’t love her, right?
On the day of the birthday banquet, Harley, dressed in a water-ink blue dress, followed his parents to the banquet venue.
When she followed her mother and watched her father carefully leading her forward, while her mother limped, a surge of emotion surged in her heart.
In her memory, her father never despised her mother’s lameness and even took more care of her mother.
And from childhood to adulthood, she always heard a voice saying, ‘How can someone like my mother deserve such a perfect father? Sooner or later, my father will dump my mother and find a more suitable woman!’!
But over the years, the father’s love for his mother has been increasing.
Love has never been born out of matching.
She envies her parents’ love, but also feels sad about her own love. She loves Lornell, but Lornell chose her only because of her perfect match?
Because of her identity, she was worthy of the Quentin family, so when he chose to save her, he directly said he wanted her to be his fiancée.
But for so many years, he did not gradually fall in love with her, and his attitude towards her remained unchanged for so many years.
I don’t like it, but I don’t dislike it either, it’s like just treating an ordinary acquaintance!
Is this kind of engagement really what she wants?
Entering the arena, the parents arrived in front of the Quentin family and began chatting with each other.
At this moment, Harley also saw Lornell, dressed in a black suit and paired with a white shirt. Even though it was just an ordinary color scheme, wearing it on him highlighted his indifferent yet mysterious temperament even more clearly.
Naturally, it also attracted the attention of many young women around it.
Even though this birthday banquet was not planned for a grand occasion, the Quentin family already had a wide network of people, coupled with their excellent medical skills, many people wanted to please the Quentin family, so they naturally found a way to attend this banquet.
And there is more than one woman who is interested in Lornell among them.
At this moment, Lornell walked forward after seeing Harley and said, “You’re here.”
“Hmm. “She responded.
“You look very beautiful today, “Lornell said.
Harley smiled slightly and said, “Thank you.”
Although he was praising her for her beauty, there was no ripple in his eyes, just an ordinary routine.
As they chatted, Harley’s gaze unconsciously remained on Lornell’s face.
Why does she love him?
Is it because he saved her in a moment of kindness when he was a child? Or is it because of his appearance, which happens to be the type she likes? That’s why she’s attracted to him?
Especially his eyes, she still remembers how beautiful they were when she first saw them when she was a child!
It seems that after watching it for a long time, one will become addicted to it.
Suddenly, another pair of eyes flashed through her mind, one of the few that could surprise her, beautiful and profound, with a melancholic feeling.
That’s Calvert’s eyes!
She only saw each other twice, but didn’t really see their appearance, because each time, they were beaten black and blue.
The only thing I can see clearly is the other person’s eyes.
“What are you thinking? “Lornell’s voice suddenly rang out.
Harley suddenly regained his senses!
“I didn’t think much! “She said.
At this moment, a beautiful young woman in a red dress walked forward and said to Lornell, “Lornell, long time no see, how have you been lately.”
“It’s still the same as before, “Lornell replied.
Harley watched as she knew this woman, a relative of the Quentin family named Ursula, who had also played with them since childhood.
Of course, it’s basically Ursula and Lornell playing, and as for her, Ursula wouldn’t pay much attention to her unless she was necessary, just treating her like air.
Just like at this moment, she and Lornell were standing together, but Ursula only greeted Lornell without saying hello, as if she hadn’t seen her.
And Lornell didn’t say anything, as if he had become accustomed to this scene.
Isn’t it just a habit? Harley smiled wryly and then said lightly, “Take your time talking, I’ll go eat something first.”
After speaking, she didn’t look at their reactions either, so she walked away directly.
Lornell looked at Harley’s back and unconsciously frowned.
Ursula whispered, “Lornell, your fiancée seems to be getting impolite. She doesn’t even say hello to me, but it’s not surprising. Who made her the princess of the Hart family? Of course, she’s extraordinary.”
Lornell turned his head and looked at Ursula with a smirk on his face. “Didn’t you also say hello to her?”
Ursula said awkwardly, “I… I just…”
“Alright, you don’t need to explain anything to me, “Lornell said lightly as if it was just an insignificant matter.
Ursula breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Lornell still doesn’t care about Harley!
Although Harley holds the name of his fiancée, it has been so many years and Lornell’s attitude towards Harley has not changed much, so what tied the two together is just a marriage agreement.
Although she and Lornell were more intimate and had a better time, it was only because Harley was the daughter of the Hart family that
Thinking of this, Ursula’s heart was filled with reluctance.
At this moment, someone else came to Lornell’s side to say hello, while Ursula, like Lornell’s fiancée, followed Lornell’s side and talked to those who came to say hello.
Harley stood not far away, watching the scene expressionless.
She had actually seen too much of this situation. At first, there were various pains in her heart, but later on, she gradually became numb.
Even her parents would occasionally ask her if she wanted to terminate her engagement.
If you really want to lift it, then the Hart family can naturally pay some price, and it’s okay to consider it as a return for the Quentin family’s life-saving kindness.
But she couldn’t make up her mind.
Because once the engagement is terminated, there really won’t be any relationship between her and
Lornell.
Now, the only thing that maintains their relationship is a marriage agreement.
Based on Lornell’s feelings for her, after breaking the engagement, the other party is likely to completely treat her as a stranger.
At that moment, a voice rose: “Harley.”
Harley turned his head and saw Tina’s face.
“Tina. “Harley looked at Tina and it was normal for Tina to come to the Quentin family’s birthday banquet.
“Why don’t you go to Lornell’s side and instead stand here alone? “Tina asked.
Harley said lightly, “I’m doing quite well here.”
Tina looked at the person in front of her, who was a few years younger than her. Although her memory had not yet recovered, she also knew that they had been childhood playmates before.
Just because of the age difference, we don’t spend much time playing together.
But deep down in her heart, she had a natural liking for Harley, and she must be a very nice person.
She is now able to reconcile smoothly with Chandler, and Chandler has not led out the insect in such a brutal way, and Harley has also helped her.
“Since you like Lornell, why don’t you take the initiative? “Tina said.” Emotions sometimes rely on striving. If you really like that person, then you should be more proactive.”
“Is it like the way you chased Chandler back then? “Harley said, and soon she realized she had said the wrong thing and couldn’t help but apologize.” Sorry, I forgot about you and my memory hasn’t been restored yet.”
“It’s okay, “Tina smiled.” Although I haven’t remembered the past, I’ve also learned a lot about my past with Chandler. You’re right, just like when I chased Chandler.”
“Harley laughed mockingly and said, “But Tina, I’m different from you. Chandler has always liked and loved you since then. Your proactive pursuit will naturally receive a response, but I…”
She paused, turned her head, and turned her gaze to Lornell, who was talking to someone. “Lornell, he doesn’t like me. For him, the engagement with me was just a matter of curiosity and necessity. If I hadn’t been dying and needed the Quentin family to heal me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have had this engagement at all.”
Harley’s tone was filled with a sense of sadness.
Tina listened and remained silent for a moment: “So what about you? What do you think? If you really like him so much, then…”
“Actually, I realized that I don’t seem to like it that much anymore, “Harley suddenly smiled, Tina, thank you for enlightening me. To be honest, I envy you and Chandler. You grew up together, faced difficulties together, and finally got together again. However, not every marriage contract made at a young age will have good results in the end. In those movies and TV dramas, many unmarried couples who have made contracts also end up breaking their contracts.”
Tina was startled and said, “Do you want to break your engagement with Lornell?”
Harley’s tone of voice clearly suggests this idea.
“The engagement of the Quentin family cannot be easily dissolved, “Harley said slowly.” Perhaps as you said, since you like it, you need to work hard.”
For now, she is already trapped in a contradiction.
On the one hand, she knew that Lornell didn’t love her, and even didn’t have that kind of male-female relationship with her, but it was just a habit.
Similarly, she also understood that emotions are not something that comes with hard work. Just one person working hard cannot succeed.
On the other hand, there was still a reluctance in her heart. She really liked Lornell, but after being treated with indifference time and time again, this liking gradually cooled down.
However, terminating the engagement would bring significant losses to the Hart family, and as a last resort, she did not want to terminate the engagement like this.
Looking at Harley like this, Tina suddenly felt how lucky she was once again.
It was also a marriage agreement made at a young age, but her situation with Harley was completely different.
“Tina, I want to go outside and take a breath alone, “Harley said, then turned around and left alone.
Tina pursed her lips without saying anything more.
