He clenched his fingers tightly, suddenly feeling a bit crazy.
It’s just a few words, why bother?
Not to mention Tricia and I would eventually reach that day, is there any other possibility?
Nelson’s temples were throbbing, a tangled mess of emotions surged in his chest. He pinched his brow and said hoarsely, “No need to apologize, it’s not a big deal.”
Patricia blinked her eyes, her moist eyes seemed to speak.
“Weren’t you…weren’t you angry?”
“Um.”
Nelson smiled and picked up a fork to give her a piece of ribs, “Don’t overthink it.‘
Patricia bit her lip and whispered, “Nelson, can we get engaged first… My mom called yesterday and said grandma is very sick, she wants us to hurry up and make it official.”
Nelson unconsciously frowned, wanting to refuse.
But when I thought about the strange feeling I had just now, the words on the tip of my tongue were suddenly held back.
Maybe they really should move on to the next stage.

“Okay,” he said, “we got engaged.”

Patricia was stunned, then overwhelmed with great joy, “So I’ll start preparing tomorrow… Do you have any ideas to tell me in advance, and we need to prepare the outfits well in advance!”
Nelson absentmindedly responded, and suddenly thought of Paulette.
He got engaged to Patricia, she must have finally caved in.
So many years of stubbornness, let’s take this opportunity to teach her a lesson!
Paulette was just briefly surprised, then she sent Nelson and Patricia flying to the clouds.
She didn’t have time to think ab
She didn’t have time to think about these things, but instead focused all her energy on work.
Lawson’s drama came to an end, and life is back on track.
Paulette used to go to work on time every day, and when she had free time, she would also learn how to cook with Larissa.
Of course, there’s a saying that makes a lot of sense.
When one door closes, another one opens.
Paulette’s closed window is the kitchen’s. She always thought she was good at studying, but she often struggled in cooking, the things she made were just hard to swallow.
“If you can’t do it well, just forget it.” Larissa comforted with a smile, “Anyway, I’m here, and if worst comes to worst, there’s always Jeremiah. I remember he can cook.”
Paulette looked at the dark meat on her plate and sighed deeply.

She came out of the kitchen after washing her hands, picked up her phone on the sofa, and saw two missed calls, both from Monty.
Paulette bit her lip and called back.
“Monty, do you need me for something?”
Monty said with a smile, “It’s no big deal, just haven’t talked to you in a while and wanted to see how you’ve been doing lately.”
“I’m good,” Paulette said, sitting up straight unconsciously even though I couldn’t see her through the phone. “And how about you and Maxine?”
“It’s the same as usual, Maxine was supposed to call you, but she’s been really busy these days.”
Paulette suddenly realized, “Oh…yeah, Maxine must be really busy.”
Nelson is getting married.
Elnora was getting older, so Maxine, as the youngest woman in the family, had to help out.
Monty didn’t know she had so much on her mind, she chatted a bit before getting to the point.
“Hey Paula, remember when Maxine told you about your uncle before?”
“I remember.”
“What do you think of them?”
This question really stumped Paulette.
She didn’t have any impression on her uncle, let alone any feelings. But in

terms of blood relationship, her uncle should be her only relative in this world.
Paulette thought for a moment before saying, “I don’t really have an opinion, but my family has been through so much over the years, why are they only showing up now? Of course… I’m not blaming them or anything, I just feel like everyone is fine living their own lives.”
Monty heard her say that, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They were worried about Paulette’s emotions, but it turns out they were overthinking it.
“Last time Maxine should have told you, your uncle said he has the inheritance your mother left for you, and he wants to personally hand it over to you.”
Paulette was bored, tracing the patterns on the couch. “Hmm, Maxine mentioned that.”
They also said, they wanted to see her.
“Your uncle has already returned to his home country.”
Monty said, “Maxine gave him your contact information, he should be reaching out to you soon.”
After finishing the call, Paulette was in a daze for a while, feeling a bit
out of it.
She was still hugging the pillow and daydreaming until Jeremiah came
home.
“What’s wrong?”
