Chapter 57 Her Good Friend Came back
Chapter 57 Her Good Friend Came back
When Euralia woke up and found herself lying in her own bed, it was already in the morning.
Yesterday, she spent the whole day accompanying her brother and fell asleep without eating dinner. The first thing she did after she woke up was to go downstairs to get something to eat.
"Euralia, so early?" The reason why Michelle was in the house in the early morning was not because of the work, but because of her.
Bill knew that Michelle had a good relationship with Euralia, so he asked her to come to their house more often to keep her company. It was better than letting her go out to play and worrying about her.
"Michelle, you're just in time." Euralia even forgot that she was hungry.
She walked over and sat beside her. She began to complain about her worries. For example, she had to make a choice between John and her brother.
"Euralia, have you ever thought that one day you will grow up, but what you need is a man who loves you with your side. And then your brother will have his own family too. Maybe he won't love you as much as he does now."
What Michelle said reminded her that women had to choose between family affection and love. After all, she couldn't accompany her brother all the time.
"I know, if I really have to make a choice, maybe I will choose love." She lowered her eyes. After saying that, she felt a little depressed.
"That's right. If I were you, I would choose to fall in love too. After all, it is our lovers who live with us women for the rest of our lives." Michelle smiled and patted her on the shoulder.
Bill protected her so well that she had never thought that they would be separated or even alienated. She dared not think about it.
At the present, all she had to do was to finish school, and the others could be considered later.
After hearing the answer from her, Michelle was relieved. Even if Cale Xia couldn't come back now, she still needed to ask John for help because Euralia still cared about him.
They chatted until noon, and Michelle left with an excuse. As Bill's assistant, she was so busy that she didn't want to have a rest with the people she hated. After all, she had got the answer she wanted from her!
Bill came back from outside and saw Euralia in a daze in the living room. He sat down and chatted with her.
He went out early today to give her a surprise, or more exactly because of her two cute rabbits.
"Bill, what happened to you? Why are you looking at me like that?" Looking at her brother's serious expression, she was a little nervous. She met with John again these two days and worried that her brother would know.
"Come out with me. Or you won't be able to see what you want to see." He wanted to surprise her, so he pretended to be serious.
'Is that about Lola and Ted?' Sensing his change, Euralia immediately followed him out.
In the back garden, he specially asked someone to make a special little garden for these two rabbits. The rabbits was running back and forth among the flowers, looking very happy.
"Thank you, Bill." She was overjoyed. In her heart, her brother, except that he was a bit domineering, was really a perfect brother.
To make up for his former impulsion, Bill had spent a lot of efforts to rebuild his perfect image in the heart of Euralia.
Now, looking at her happy face, he was also satisfied.
At that moment, Terri's voice came from the distance.
"Miss Euralia, a gentleman is looking for you."
Gentleman! The first name came to Bill's mind was John. As far as he knew, except for John, no other male friends of her would come and visit her this time.
Euralia thought it was John, too, so she uneasily glanced at her brother.
"Terri, did that man say who he is?" She asked tentatively. If it were John, she would not have come to see him now, because the look on Bill's face had slightly changed.
"No. But I don't remember when I met him." Terri replied.
Before Bill came back to his senses, Euralia rushed to the gate.
A voice came from the distance at the gate of the house.
"Euralia, here!" Cale Xia shouted as he waved his hand at her.
At the same time, she was both surprised and delighted. These days, she had just missed him, but she didn't expect him to come back.
"Cale, why didn't you inform me that you were coming back?" Euralia came over and patted him on the shoulder as a good friend.
Cale Xia immediately held her hand and was so excited that he was about to hug her.
"Hey, you've been abroad for a year. Have you forgotten the etiquette here?" She dodged his hug easily.
"You don't miss me at all, do you? You even refuse to give me a hug. So not adorable!" He said as he put her arm around her shoulder.
She had been used to it. They were best friends, so she didn't think that would be too close. In her eyes, he was just one of her friends.
However, Cale Xia's affection for her was more than friendship. He fixed his eyes on her since he saw her. But he could only temporarily suppress his love for her.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time and chatted happily at the door.
Bill came later. He had a bit of impression of Cale Xia. But when he saw Cale Xia holding her hand and putting his arm on her shoulder, he felt displeased.
"Bill, this is my friend Cale Xia. You remember him, right? He used to come here a lot." Euralia turned to him and introduced.
"I don't remember." Bill replied coldly.
"Euralia, Mr. Bill is so busy that he doesn't even remember me. Mr. Bill, nice to meet you again." Cale Xia had heard everything about him from Michelle.
As he had learnt from Michelle that Bill often compelled Euralia to do things she didn't want to do and made her life a living hell.
He came here to rescue her out of the fire, and Bill was his only obstacle.
The two men squinted their eyes at each other, sparks flying in all directions. Both of them could tell that the other had already been very determined to fight this war. However, Euralia was totally unaware of this.
"Hello, Mr. Xia." Bill came over and was about to shake hands with him.
Cale Xia had to let go of Euralia's hand to shake hands with him.
"Don't stand on ceremony! Bill, he is my best friend. You don't have to be overcautious with each other." She stood in the middle and forced their hands apart.
Bill pulled her beside him and held her hand. Cale Xia, who was a step later than him, gritted her teeth with empty hands.
"Euralia, it's hot outside. You can't stay in the sun for too long." Bill reminded her thoughtfully while cleaning up the messy hair.
Cale Xia was so mad, but he had to hold back for the moment.
"Euralia, I've already come to your house. Why don't you invite me in?" He didn't plan to leave so soon. He came here today to humiliate Bill and to relive the friendship with Euralia.
Bill had met all kinds of people and knew why he came. A year ago, Euralia often mentioned this guy in front of him. His instinct told him that he definitely had feelings for her and it was more than friendship.
"It's noon now. Euralia has to take a noon break every day." Bill didn't directly refuse Cale Xia's visit, but reminded her of what she should do at this hour.
"Bill, it's not easy for Cale to come back. I don't want to take a lunch break today. Come in, Cale." She invited him with great enthusiasm, got rid of Bill's hand and took Cale Xia into the house.
Bill followed them with a long face. He believed that he wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.
When they walked into the living room, Cale Xia fixed her eyes on Michelle. They looked away at the same time.
Euralia introduced Cale Xia warmly to Michelle, and the latter greeted politely.
As soon as Euralia sat down, Cale Xia went over and sat next to her.
After sitting down, Bill coughed intentionally to show his uncomfortable expression.
"Bill, are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Although Euralia was busy greeting her friends, she soon noticed her brother's strange behavior.
Yesterday, in order to prevent her from being picky, he ate the fish together with her. She was worried about his health again.
"Give me a glass of water." Bill said slowly.
Upon hearing that, Euralia immediately stood up and poured a glass of water for him. After taking a sip, he put the glass down. She took the opportunity to sit next to her brother.
There was a certain distance between Cale Xia and her. That was Bill.
"Mr. Bill, you doesn't seem to be in good health. You should get more rest." Cale Xia began to mock him.
"Yes. But how can I fall asleep while you are still shouting here?" A faint smile played on his lips as he replied unconcernedly.
"Cale, my brother is in good health." She immediately put in a good word for him.
Cale Xia was a little surprised. Didn't Michelle say that Euralia was in a dangerous situation now? But why did she still stand up for her brother?
Thinking of that, he turned his head to look at Michelle, but she dared not to look up. She didn't dare to show her true emotions in front of Bill. After all, he knew everything.
"Euralia, you don't have to mind it. After all, outsiders don't know our family's affairs." Bill looked at Cale Xia proudly.
The word "outsiders" sounded especially unpleasant to Cale Xia's ears. His heart was even more depressed when he heard what Bill said. He directly stood up and walked to Euralia.
"Euralia, let's talk in private. After all, Mr. Bill also needs a lunch break, right?" The more he looked at Bill, the more unpleasant he felt. He always acted as if he was the closest person to Euralia.
Bill gave Euralia a glance, and she immediately turned him down.
"Cale, my brother and Michelle are not outsiders. We can talk here."
Although she and Bill could not go back to the past, the relationship between them was not that bad that he couldn't listen when they were chatting. She also didn't want to embarrass her brother and Michelle!
"All right." Cale Xia felt more depressed. He glanced at the poker-faced Bill.
"Have a cup of tea first, Cale. Let's talk about it later." He was satisfied with the tea that Euralia poured for him and began to chat with her.
Bill sat aside, picked up a newspaper and read it attentively. Michelle acted as if she was listening, and from time to time she yawned. Only Cale Xia was talking with a big smile.
Euralia was absorbed in the conversation. Sitting beside her, Bill was actually looking at her all the time.
Finally, the coughing sound from Michelle reminded Cale Xia of the purpose of this visit. Then, he stopped chatting casually and got down to the important things.
"Euralia, I have something important to tell you." He stopped smiling and said seriously.
