Be Eaten Up with Love

Chapter 18: Ex-boyfriend Is a Scum

In the evening, Katherine invited me to visit the old house.

As far as I know, Wayne Gilbert’s family was very rich, when his father in his youth, the Gilbert group was a real estate tycoon. Their value of the property was countless. One of the most impressive old house, was located in the West mountain of Liang city which has hundreds years of history !

Before this time, I came to the old house of Gilbert family, that was the first time I saw Wayne Gilbert, although I stayed here for a short time, but the old house’s palace style shocked me.

In contrast to the last visit’s silence, the old house is bright tonight.

I followed Katherine, went into the living room.

Van immediately came to welcome them, taking the things in Katherine’s hand .

"Van, are there any guests tonight?"

Van nodded. "Simona will bring her fiance with a dinner with the old lady tonight, they are almost here.

"So at tonight, I can know who is the future uncle. I originally want to call aunt, let her introduce him to us. They’re getting married, why she still hide him."

When Simona came back with her fiance, I was watching TV in the living room . The war of resistance against Japanese drama was fierce, the Japanese devils dead a lot!

I said hello to Simona, but when I saw the people behind her, I stunned at that moment......

I even thought I was dazzled. The person in front of me wasn’t the one in my memory.

But Simona’s gentle words immediately stimulated me: "Geoffrey, come in quickly, I introduce my little niece Katherine to you. She is going to be a junior student, she should be your junior."

I thought when I heard his name again, met this person, it will be in a few years later. We just smiled to say hello, turned to leave as a stranger! But I didn't think it would be so fast, so suddenly, only after two years...

Geoffrey, the man who once gave me hope, but ruthlessly dashed my hope.

After two years , he has shed his tender youth, dressed as a successful man, and acted with no restraint.

I suddenly remembered what he had said to me when he was leaving.

"Lydia, I can't give you the best life, my ambition is to go higher, I will be more outstanding that that people who have looked down on me, laughed at me! Even if I do everything by hook or by crook, even if I do all the wrong things, I will be the best."

I always understood about him, what Geoffrey want. I thought he and I are the same, looking forward to the plain and warm life, but later I knew, my ideal run counter to his ambition !

So, we destined to be people of two worlds.

I smiled sadly and turned my head to see the expression of Katherine. Obviously, time can changed a person a lot , appearance, temperament, a person changed to beyond all recognition from inside and

out.

Katherine frowned and thought for a long time, pulled my sleeve: "Lydia, am I blind?"

I shook my head, said nothing.

At the same time when I was shocked, on the other side, Geoffrey saw me, like he just saw the ghost.

I sneered, suddenly found that the men can be completely shameless.

Two years ago, he said he would give up the opportunity to enter Liang city university and go abroad for further study. But now I think of it, Katherine's aunt went to the United States to study for a double doctorate about two years ago. In fact, at that time he had already built relationships with successful woman...

Geoffrey’s smile with a little stiff, but he still pretended very well. In he past he could hide his mind very well. Over two years, he became more skilled.

He walked straight towards me with his gentle appearance. If she didn’t know him very well, it would be hard to imagine that his heart blackened by power and money under the false skin of this man !

"Long time no see, two juniors."

He frankly looked at me .

"Geoffrey, do you know Katherine?" Simona confusedly looked at Geoffrey.

He looked at me, his emotion in eyes was unknown: "we all graduated from Liang city high school. Katherine is my junior and she is lower two years than me .” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Simona nodded: "since we all know each other, let’s not be too reserved."
