He’s probably not going to give up this time until he finds you!” The voice sounded a little like its owner was gloating.
Rachel said, “…Oh.”
“Ian, you were overseas previously and weren’t in his territory, so you were able to avoid it perfectly. But now that you’ve returned, you won’t be able to escape anymore! As the most prestigious surgeon around, can’t you just treat his grandmother’s illness?
“I heard that Ethan Wright is very generous, and is even a man so handsome that it’s hard to come by one like him. Maybe the two of you can even develop a romance that’ll move one to songs and tears!”
Rachel yawned lazily.
The number one family was a big family with a big business. Interpersonal relationships within it were complicated. Treating the illness of someone from there might even end up involving the struggle for power and inheritance. Why would she involve herself with the open and secret fights of such a top-class rich and powerful?
She was back in the States to look for her son. She mustn’t cause any complications.
As she approached the exit, Rachel suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the arrival hall in front. She replied perfunctorily, “I’m not blessed enough to enjoy such beauty.”
After hanging up, she tossed the phone into her pocket and cast her eyes downward coldly.
She didn’t expect to see an old acquaintance so soon.
A man stood at a prominent spot at the exit of the airport. He was wearing a suit and looked quite bright and cheerful. He looked a little more mature than he had been five years ago—he turned out to be her fiancé, Ken Huang.
With a pick-up placard in his hand, he stood there impatiently and grumbled, “When exactly is that damned fatty coming out?”
Behind him, his butler said, “Mr. Huang, please be patient. The old sir has specially instructed you to refrain from making things too ugly even if you are calling off the engagement.”
Ken frowned. He looked a little irritated. “Patience? Isn’t it more like disgust? She was so fat previously; and, she must be even fatter after she gave birth. She probably wants to save the engagement even more strongly now, right? Why am I so unlucky to become entangled with someone like that?!”
His words reached Rachel’s ears, but she didn’t bat even an eyelid.
In the past five years, she had repeatedly brought up her desire to break off the engagement. However, neither the Parkers nor the Huangs had agreed. Who exactly was entangling with whom?
She couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to that man and intended to leave immediately with Nisha.
After grumbling, Ken turned—and his eyes lit up!
The beautiful woman, who was the first to walk out of the airport, was gorgeous and unbelievably stunning. It was as if the entire airport had lit up a few notches brighter the moment she appeared.
Seeing the woman getting closer and closer, Ken straightened his back and neatened his luxury suit. Then, he smiled and asked confidently, “Hi beautiful, can I ask your name?”
He was the exact picture of a male peacock with its train spread open.
Rachel paused and looked at him coolly.
“Rachel. Parker.”
“Rachel. Parker.”
Nisha, whose head was originally lowered as she played a mobile game, pointed to the placard in Ken’s hand and read out the name written on it in her young, tender voice. Then, she asked excitedly, “Did I read it correctly?”
Nisha had grown up abroad all this time and was currently in the literacy development stage.
Rachel rubbed her head and said in a cool and melodious voice, “Yes, you did.”
Ken was dazzled by the casual smile at the corners of her lips.
When did such a big beauty come to California? She was even more beautiful than those B-list celebrities!
Rachel was indifferent to the burning fervor in his eyes. Nisha, on the other hand, blinked and asked innocently, “Mister, are you here to pick…”
Before she could say ‘…us up?’Ken hurriedly tossed the placard behind him and interrupted her. “Of course not, little girl. I have nothing to do with that damned fatty.”
A touch of disdain appeared in Nisha’s big eyes. “Mister, you’re so pitiful to be blind at such a young age, sigh.”
Which part of her mom was fat?!
