Chapter64
Bethany went directly from the train station to Riverspire
Bistro.
She had just arrived at the entrance of Riverspire Bistro when
she received a message from Julio.
“Dummy, waiting for you on the top floor.“”
Bethany took the elevator up and as soon as she entered the
lobby, she saw Julio waving at her.
She walked over and sat down across from Julio.
“Dummy, what do you want to eat? I don’t know if your taste
has changed as you grew up. Why don’t you order for
yourself?”
Julio handed the recipe to Bethany.
Bethany handed him the recipe and gracefully gestured in sign
language, “I invite you to dinner, with your preferences in mind,
you choose.”
“You ordered, I ordered, isn’t it the same? You know, I’m not
picky!”
Chapter64
Julio still gave the recipe to Bethany.
Actually, Julio had changed.
No longer was he the fatherless, brawling street hoodlum.
Perhaps due to his experiences in his youth, he still had a hint of
unruliness, but he had already transformed into a wealthy
gentleman from a prestigious family, with a touch of
composure and elegance.
Bethany had difficulty communicating and did not push back
with him anymore.
She ordered a meal.
Married to Terrence for seven years, she also learned many etiquettes that a wealthy lady should know.
In this upscale restaurant, she knew how to place an order.
Terrence attended every occasion without her, no matter how much she studied, it was of no use.
While waiting for the food, Bethany took out the diamond necklace and signed guiltily, “I’m sorry, I accidentally broke the hidden speaker inside. The sound function was useful for me as a non–verbal person, but it’s useless for others now. It is still an
Chapter64
intact necklace.”
Bethany handed the necklace to Julio.
Julio quickly took the necklace and said, “It’s okay, I will go back
to repair it.”
Bethany quickly waved her hand, “Julio, you are tricking me. I have carefully examined it, and it is a real diamond, not a fake. I cannot accept such an expensive gift from you.”
Julio held the necklace, his fingertips tightened slightly, and he looked at Bethany. He asked in a low voice, “Are you afraid
Terrence will find out?”
Bethany shook her head.
“Since it’s not the case, why can’t you accept it? We are friends, neighbors, classmates. It’s been years since we last met. I’m giving you a gift, why can’t you accept it?”
Julio was slightly excited, he exhaled a breath and kept his emotions calm. His tone also became gentler, “Consider it as compensation for the times I bullied you in the past.”
Over the years, he has been studying medicine and is about to discover a method to treat aphasia.
Chapter64
He gave her this gift to help her transition.
He didn’t dare to tell her temporarily that he had a way to cure her. He had to wait until the plan was completely tested and successful before telling her.
Otherwise, for her who had been voiceless for many years, it
would be even more painful if she couldn’t fulfill her hopes after igniting them.
Bethany pursed her lips, unsure of how to answer him.
Bang–bang–bang.
The sound of fireworks exploding came.
The colorful flames have already risen into the sky.
It turned out to be a colorful auspicious cloud…
In just a few seconds, wherever the line of sight reached, clusters of colorful auspicious clouds poured down like waterfalls.
Bethany didn’t have time to be shocked, she was unexpectedly splashed with alcohol in the face…
Julio immediately stood up, grabbed Evangeline’s arm, and angrily said, “What are you doing?”
Chapter 4
Bethany opened her wet eyes and saw that it was Evangeline.
Evangeline’s wrist was painfully squeezed by Julio.
She furrowed her brow and tried hard to free her hand.
“You wild man, you hurt me, do you know who I am? Take your dirty hands off me now!”
“I don’t care who you are! Apologize to her!”
Julio was furious, with veins popping on his forehead, and he
felt a sense of self–blame in his heart. He had inadvertently
allowed Dummy to be bullied.
Bethany got up and urgently gestured to Julio, “Let her go, she is Terrence’s sister!“”
Julio loosened his grip in the palm of his hand, and Evangeline pulled out her arm, raising her hand to slap Julio.
Bethany stepped forward to intervene,
Evangeline’s palm firmly landed on Bethany’s face.
She was just very angry and used a bit too much force.
Instantly, a few red finger marks appeared on Bethany’s fair face.
Chapter64
Evangeline’s face froze, looking at her hands in a panic.
She never thought about hitting Bethany.
Julio couldn’t hold it anymore, even with glasses that added a
touch of sophistication to him, he couldn’t suppress the air of ruffianism emanating from him.
