Sensing that Rachel seemed to give up after hesitating and tangling, Locke still had a little regret in his heart, after all, he was the American sweetheart of the nineties, and his appearance was still quite good.

But he is not in a hurry, at most a year, he will be able to meet again, and he can find a chance to try it when the time comes.

Anyway, it would be a long time before Rose and her became boyfriend and girlfriend, and Rachel hadn't had a boyfriend before this, so he thought Rose wouldn't mind.

After Rachel decided to give up, there was still some unwillingness to look this way in her heart, and then she suddenly found a familiar face.

"Monica!"

Monica, who was watching Rock and Chandler play, was chatting casually, was stunned, turned her head to look, and exclaimed, "God, Rachel!" ”

"Monica!" Rachel pompously stepped forward and hugged Monica, and then 'naturally' put the hand with the diamond ring in front of Monica's eyes.

"God, you can't see where the Titanic hit." Monica, who has been Rachel's little follower for many years when she was a child, is very knowledgeable and praises.

With this compliment, Rachel was in a better mood, fiddling with the diamond ring, reserved and obviously proud: "Thank you, his name is Barry, and he is a doctor." ”

"Wow." Monica said knowingly: "It seems that your dream since you were a child has really come true, you used to have a doctor father to take care of, and now you have a doctor fiancé, maybe there will be a doctor son in the future?" ”

"Thank you." Rachel rejoiced in her heart, and then asked Monica, "By the way, how are you, do you have a partner?" ”

"Not at the moment." Monica said, glancing at Locke.

Such a handsome guy is right in front of her, how can Monica ignore it, it's just that in her eyes, Locke is Tang Wei's boyfriend.

Although Locke once said that he was unmarried and would not bind a fixed girlfriend, Tang Wei also said that she didn't care about Locke, she still held back, after all, Locke didn't take the initiative, and the number of times they usually met was not much.

Happiness is all contrasted, seeing that her childhood friend didn't even have a boyfriend, Rachel's happiness exploded a little, but she pretended to say: "Actually, there is nothing." ”

"I know." Monica was a little speechless.

After a few words, the air suddenly fell silent, and the two stared at each other for a while, a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

In the end, Monica pointed to the billiards case: "Then I'll go find my friend." ”

"That's your friend?" Rachel's gaze turned to Locke, and the vanity of the previous seemed to dissipate in an instant, and the 'revelation' that came to mind was still in his mind.

Monica couldn't be more familiar with Rachel, and looking at her look, she teased, "Do I want to introduce you to you?" ”

"No need......" Rachel waved her hand reservedly.

"That's right." Unexpectedly, Monica directly changed the subject: "After all, you are now engaged, it's not good to do this." ”

The hidden meaning in the words made Rachel's face stagnate, and she made a note in her heart, how could she not see that she was so bad before.

On the surface, Rachel still showed enthusiasm and said, "Listen, next time I come, how about we have lunch together?" ”

"Okay." Monica also nodded in agreement, very happy.

"Okay, goodbye."

Rachel and Monica looked like sisters, and they parted with each other, and finally couldn't help but glance at Locke again, and then they joined up with their two companions and left the bar.

After Rachel left, Monica approached Chandler and Locke and said, "I bet I'll never see her again in my life." ”

"Fate is very complicated." Locke shrugged his shoulders.

"Trust me, I know Rachel better than anyone." "We used to grow up together as playmates, but since she went to college, she hasn't contacted me," Monica said. ”

“OK，OK。” Seeing Monica's affirmative look, Chandler, who understood that she wanted to strengthen her personality, changed the topic at the right time: "By the way, Locke, when are you going to see your new home." ”

"It's going to be four or five days," said Locke, "and I'll need to go over there and clean up in advance, and wait for the Swansons to come over and pick a suitable temporary guardian." ”

"Won't that delay your work in New York?" Monica asked.

"Of course not, it's just some data-related work, I just need to complete those files and give them to the people who need them."

Instead of wanting to get too far in front of Chandler and them, so as not to create a sense of distance, Locke did not elaborate on his situation.

According to the custom of the United States, Chandler and Monica did not ask too much, and the three chatted for a while before Locke left the bar.

A few days later, Locke and Don left New York and drove to Belvedere.

The house that Locke bought here is not very large, just a single-family villa in his early 200s, with two floors, five bedrooms and two bathrooms, a separate cloakroom, and a garage and a small swimming pool.

When they arrived at the place, the two of them walked around the new house.

The price of the house itself is not high, but the decoration is very good, and Locke has spent more than a million dollars on the renovation, which is almost double the price of the house.

After looking at the house, Alice was full of excitement, her original dream was to have a beautiful house like this in the future: "I love the pool in the backyard, I can go back to New York a few days later,"

Locke rolled his eyes: "It's just a 5 by 5 area, fortunately, it can be heated, if you like it, you can go and soak it now." ”

After the house was bought, there was an overall frame, Locke hired a designer, and the layout and decoration were specially designed, and the swimming pool was not designed because he had no special preference for swimming.

Of course, this kind of villa is mainly home comfort, the style is not strong, and it is practical.

However, Tang Wei's eyes lit up, he first found the switch to heat the pool, and then placed the belongings he brought into the room, and some of them couldn't wait to feel the swimming pool in the backyard.

Shaking his head, Locke said to Tang Wei: "Don't worry, at least change into a swimsuit first." ”

While Tang Wei excitedly began to try the temperature-controlled swimming pool, Locke began to prepare dinner with the ingredients he had brought with him.

Because today was the first day of staying, Locke felt that there was still a little bit of emotion, so he chose a bottle of red wine and prepared a steak.

The hired maid would not come until tomorrow, Tang Wei was busy enjoying the small pool in the backyard, and dinner was prepared by Locke.

Frying steak is not a difficult task, and even with the cooking skills of the intermediate experience trough that is about to end, the steak made by Locke tastes very good.

When I came to the backyard with red wine and steak, I saw Tang Wei sitting on the steps under the water, which was specially designed to enjoy the fun of bathing.

This pool is not large, and it is very comfortable to turn over or something in it, but it is the end of the leg kick, the key is that you can lie in it like a bath, and you can see the stars in the sky when you look up.

Putting the red wine and steak onto the tray by the pool, Locke said to Tang Wei: "Okay, come over and eat first." ”

The tray is a folded, curved plank that opens just enough for a person to sit there and reach for food and drinks on the tray.

Tang Wei rarely enjoyed Locke's service, and his face was full of happiness: "I didn't expect it to be like this, you will really enjoy it." ”

Locke smiled and sat down in the warm pool water, looked at the sky to the west, and chatted with Tang Wei casually.

She's also busy these days, and Locke has given her the position of assistant, but these days, she's learning from Ms. Mora, the current manager of Sky Fund.

After the day is busy, he has to deal with the energetic Locke when he goes back at night, so that he sleeps deeply every night.

Now I finally have the opportunity to relax, eat steak casually, drink red wine without a sip, and chat with Locke, I feel that such a day is really comfortable and beautiful.
