Edmond talks about the situation, still basking in the incredible surprise: "She actually said yes. I thought she would dislike me for being old, but she didn't hesitate at all. ”

"The next day, when I met with her son, he came straight to me and called me dad. Alas, you really can't show it, I was so excited! That kid is really well-behaved, very smart, and very sensible! It was like a friend of mine at first sight. ”

"I immediately took him to the shopping mall next to him, but his mother couldn't catch up. I bought him clothes, toys, books, electronics...... Anyway, there were so many more, I really wanted to buy him all the good things! Later, I played toys with him, read books together, and played games together, and when he smiled and leaned on me, I put my arms around him, feeling that he must have been my child in his last life, and he will find it again in this life! Really, it's amazing! I'm so close to this kid! ”

When Edmond talked about this child, his expression completely changed to that of a dazzle maniac.

"So, Edmond, you're saying that your first date with your girlfriend was actually playing with her son all the time, right?" Aimee asked cautiously, because he only mentioned the child, and his girlfriend's appearance scene was simply passerby.

"Oh, Aimee, I'll just say you're always discerning and hit the nail on the head!" Edmond held up his teacup and touched it with Aimee. Janet couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard Aimee's words.

"That's right, I've been hugging my son, I don't know how much fun I have with him, I'm really not afraid of the two of you laughing, I'm almost forgetting that there is a mother next to this son. When we were separated, the child was reluctant to give up on me and asked me: Dad, can we still see each other tomorrow? I was about to burst into tears, and I quickly replied to him: Yes, son, of course we can meet tomorrow! ”

"You don't know, but that night she came to me and told me that she was willing to associate with me. I only then learned that as soon as her son was born, her husband cheated on her and took the mistress to other places, and after the divorce, she ignored their mother and son, her son had never seen his father since he was a child, and he had always been particularly eager to have a father. She was so touched to see her son so attached to me, and she couldn't bear to make her son sad and disappointed. ”

"Then you both date for the sake of children?" Janet's eyes widened.

"So to speak. This child is the bond of our feelings. I spent a week with my son in Chengdu, and now I've brought my mother and son to Shanghai. I am in the process of applying for a Hong Kong identity for them, and I originally planned to live in Shanghai all the time, but for the sake of my son's education, I plan to move back to Hong Kong at the end of the year. My next most important task is to raise my son well! Edmond couldn't hide his excitement and happiness.

Janet couldn't help but ask, "So you mean, will you stay in the preschool, or will you leave?" ”

"Leave. When I return to Hong Kong, I will go to the university to be in charge of international exchange and also teach business classes. This is the life I aspire to the most, and it is also the most suitable environment for my son to grow up. I only promised to help them for two years to get through the difficulties of the Chinese market. To tell you the truth, it was to suppress Aimee's company, and now that the task has been completed, I can get out of the way. ”

Edmond raised his teacup again: "Aimee, I want to pay special tribute to you with tea instead of wine!" If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't deal with you, they wouldn't have found me. If I hadn't come to Shanghai, I wouldn't have met this marriage and my son. When I think of you, I have mixed feelings: I should be grateful to you, but I put you in the worst possible situation. However, you are still young and have a chance to come back. If you need my help after I leave the topic, feel free to come to me and give me a chance to thank you. ”

Janet looked at Aimee, she was sad for Aimee: what a decisive person she used to be, she was a topic of conversation in the industry who dared to fight, but now she was pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, she was really aggrieved and sorry for her!

"Edmond, I am your defeated man, you finally caught my seven inches, and you defeated me with one move, but no matter what the result is, you always respect me from a personal point of view, be humble, and truly gentlemanly, I am convinced! In the future, I will continue to ask you for more advice! Aimee's words are really not polite, I have seen too many aggressive and capable people in the workplace, Edmond is really too high! Obviously, every move is up and down, but it always makes you feel his sincerity and openness, which not only makes you hate it, but also moves by his truth. What kind of profound skill must be there to get to such a situation as him!

"I also believe that today's situation is not a foregone conclusion." If this is a battle that ended with Aimee's defeat, the flame in her heart has not been extinguished, and the small shop left behind is the tinder. But in front of him, he can only lie dormant, endure humiliation, and survive first.

Aimee and Edmond were clinking glasses when a beautiful woman walked in, and Edmond immediately got up, greeted her warmly, took her by the hand, and introduced her to Janet and Aimee. During the whole meal, the woman didn't say a word, lowered her head, looked at her phone for a while, took out a notebook from her bag and wrote it for a while, as if she was very busy, and it seemed that the three people next to her had nothing to do with her. Edmond took care of her for a while, poured her tea for a while, and took good care of her, she was cold, and there was no interaction with Edmond.

After sitting for a short time, the woman got up and whispered something to Edmond, who immediately stood up: "Okay, you go first, I'll pay for it!" The woman stood up, did not greet the others, and walked away.

"She's going to do something. Have you eaten well? I paid the bill and went to accompany her. Edmond's anxious look made the two of them quickly say, "Okay, okay." As Edmond scrambled out, Aimee suddenly noticed that he was dragging his feet much longer than before.

With such an up-and-down, detail-rich story, how could Janet and Aimee leave without discussing it? But they are all people with heavy work, and they are sorry for their professionalism when they make a special trip to talk about gossip, so the two of them stood in the corner outside the restaurant and commented seriously:

"Alas, when a man gets old, it's easy to see the situation clearly, and even Edmond can't stay awake. Can't he see that this woman has no feelings for him at all? Why do I think she doesn't care about Edmond's age just for the sake of her son's future? ”

"I really don't have a good impression of such a woman, can't I live well with my own skills?" Janet looked at Edmond's fading back and was very emotional.

Aimee didn't see it that way: "Janet, if it were you, would you be willing to marry a man twenty-seven years older than you for the sake of your son?" ”
