Nelly looked very beautiful after dressing up. Mr. Butler's eyes lit up and smiled more brightly, which made Nelly feel more disgusted.
"Nelly, I know that you must be very pretty when you dress up. You're gorgeous."
Mr. Butler leaned close to Nelly's ear and said while kissing her earlobe.
Nelly was stimulated by Mr. Butler's actions and turned her head in disgust, but she did not really push him away.
When the charity party was about to begin, Mr. Butler took Nelly there.
Nelly had not attended this kind of charity party of the upper class for a long time.
When she walked into the hall, she was even in a trance.
While Mr. Butler was talking with his business partners, Nelly wandered around the hall alone. She wanted to wait for Bradley to come.
Sure enough, after waiting for more than half an hour, Bradley came over. He had a female companion with him.
The woman looked very young, she was in her early twenties, but she looked very similar to Amelia.
At first glance, Nelly thought she was Amelia. However, when Nelly looked at her closely, she found that the woman was only 60% similar to Amelia.
Nelly clenched her fists when she saw how intimate the woman and Bradley were.
She had driven away Amelia from Bradley, but another woman who was so similar to Amelia appeared. Why did these women... have to pester Bradley? What qualifications did they have to pester Bradley?
"Bradley." Seeing that there was no one around Bradley, Nelly held the wine glass in her hand, plucked up her courage and walked to Bradley.
When Bradley heard Nelly's voice, his face became extremely horrible.
"Nelly? Why are you here? Are you qualified to come to a place like this? Huh?"
Bradley looked at Nelly with terribly grim eyes, and there was no expression in his face.
Nelly was stimulated by Bradley's indifferent expression, she said in a dull voice, "I... just... want to come here and see you. I haven't seen you for a long time. Bradley, you have tortured me enough. Please, don't treat me like this. I... will change. I will never do that kind of things again."
"You'd better not provoke me. Otherwise, I will make you live a more miserable life."
After saying this coldly, Bradley left without looking back.
Looking at Bradley's back, Nelly's face turned pale.
She clenched her palm and looked at Bradley's back as he left, her face was a little twisted. She loved Bradley so much that she was willing to do everything for him.
Why... did Bradley still treat her with such a bad attitude?
Nelly saw that the woman who was very similar to Amelia took the initiative to approach Bradley and said something to him, then Bradley looked at her and smiled very gently.
Bradley looked at the woman with a smile on his face, which was completely different from the expression which he used to treat her.
Nelly felt that her heart was particularly painful.
There was a hint of hatred and anger in her eyes.
The more she looked at the woman, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"Bradley, I don't like here."
Crystal Miller grabbed Bradley's arm and said. She felt a little uneasy when she found that many people around were looking at her.
She had just graduated this year and became Bradley's secretary. Bradley treated her very well and even asked her to be his female companion this night.
"Don't be afraid. You just need to get used to this kind of situation slowly. These people mean no harm."
Bradley looked at Crystal's face in a trance and said softly.
Crystal's face blushed a little as she nodded at Bradley. "I... am not afraid. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
The relationship between her and Bradley had provoked much discussion among the company a long time ago.
Crystal did not expect that Bradley would like her. When Bradley asked her to be his girlfriend, she was really happy.
There was a bitter and complicated expression in Bradley's eyes.
"Amelia, look, I knew that you would come back."
Every time Bradley saw Crystal's face, he would be in a good mood.
Crystal's existence seemed to tell Bradley that Amelia was still alive.
Amelia didn't die.
Crystal noticed the strange expression in Bradley's eyes and asked worriedly, "Bradley, what's wrong with you?"
Crystal didn't know why, but every time Bradley looked at her, she felt that he was not looking at her, but was looking at someone else through her.
This feeling made Crystal very scared.
"Nothing. Since you don't like here, let's go back. Christ is waiting for us at home."
Bradley looked away and returned to normal.
Crystal blinked her eyes, looked at Bradley and said with blush on her face, "Okay, I haven't seen Christ for many days. Does he still like me?" "Of course, Christ likes you the most."
Bradley nodded, held Crystal's hand and left the charity party.
Nelly had been paying attention to Bradley and Crystal. When she saw that Bradley took Crystal's hand and was about to leave, she couldn't care about anything else and quickly walked to the door. She reached out her arms and stopped Bradley and Crystal.
"Bradley, this woman is not Amelia. Wake up!"
Nelly's sharp voice scared Crystal a little.
Crystal looked at Bradley with some fear.
With a straight face, Bradley said expressionlessly, "Nelly, don't make me angry."
"Bradley, look at her carefully, this woman... is not Amelia! Wake up, okay?"
Nelly refused to listen to Bradley and shouted at him angrily.
"Get out!" Bradley looked at Nelly with a detached and even furious face.
However, Nelly reached out her hands and stood in Bradley's way, refusing to leave.
"Why are you still thinking about Amelia? She is dead. This woman is just very similar to Amelia. She is not Amelia at all!"
"Get out of my way!"
Bradley's heart was stimulated when he heard Amelia's name. Without thinking, he kicked Nelly's chest. Everyone was frightened by Bradley's violent and ruthless appearance.
Even Crystal, who was standing aside, was scared.
In Crystal's memories, Bradley was a mild-tempered man, but he kicked a woman all of a sudden. It was reasonable that she was scared.
"Mr. Haggai, I'm sorry. My girlfriend offended you."
Mr. Butler heard the noise and came over. When he saw that Nelly was injured, he rushed forward in a hurry. He held Nelly in his arms and turned back to apologize to Bradley.
Nelly covered the position of her heart and began to cough.
She looked at Bradley with extremely sad eyes, on the verge of tears.
Bradley was really so cruel that he didn't even show her any mercy.
Just now, Bradley kick Nelly so fiercely as if he wanted to kill her. Nelly felt so painful and uncomfortable.
"Mr. Butler, you'd better watch your girlfriend carefully in the future. Don't let her talk nonsense in front of me. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that if I will kick her to death next time."
Bradley's eyes were cold and chilly as he looked at Nelly. The words he said were so apathetic and coldblooded.
Nelly's nerves were stimulated by Bradley's sinister and cold words, and her whole body was trembling violently. She didn't except that Bradley... would treat her so heartlessly.
"Okay, I see. I will definitely keep an eye on her." Mr. Butler looked at Nelly and said with a little complexity and panic on his face.
saw how well-behaved Christ was.
Christ sniffed, shook Bradley's arm and muttered, "No... I don't want to sleep now. I... want you to tell me a story."
Telling a story? How could Bradley know how to tell a story? He looked at Christ who was looking at him expectantly, but he could not bear to let him down.
Bradley pressed his temple helplessly. Christ shook his arm and asked pitifully, "Okay?"
"Of course." Finally, Bradley had no way to refuse any of Christ's requests, he had to hold Christ in his arms and went back to the room.
When he passed by the stairs, Mignon happened to go downstairs. Seeing Bradley coming back, Mignon said, "Did you go to the charity party with Crystal tonight?"
Bradley nodded, then Mignon sighed and said, "Crystal... she is a good girl. If you really like her, marry her."
Everyone in the Xis knew that Bradley loved Amelia so much. If Bradley wanted to marry another woman, they would not disagree with him.
Bradley's eyes were filled with bitterness and gloom. He looked at Mignon deeply and said grimly, "Crystal and I have nothing to do with each other. I used to let her be my girlfriend just because she looks like Amelia, but... she is not Amelia, and she can't become Amelia."
Bradley was right. Crystal just looked like Amelia. She was not Amelia, nor could she become Amelia.
With serious eyess, Mignon said, "But... Abigail has died for a long time. Bradley, you should... have your own life."
Mignon hoped that Bradley could find his own happiness. In this way, even if Amelia was in heaven, she would be happy.
"She will come back."
Bradley didn't like others to persuade him to get married. No one was deserved to be his wife except Amelia.
Mignon looked at Bradley's back with some melancholy in her eyes, and her expression was a little complicated.
She was no longer young, although she was well maintained, her age could be seen from the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.
After Mignon went upstairs, Nacho had just finished dealing with his business. Seeing Mignon's worried eyes, he went forward and hold her waist.
"What's wrong? Who were you talking to just now? Is Bradley back?"
"I chatted with him for a while. I think that Crystal was a good girl. If... she could be with Bradley, they would be a perfect match."
"That woman who looks like Abigail?" Nacho raised his eyebrows and asked coldly.
Nacho's heart softened a little indeed when he saw Crystal's face, but... no one could replace Amelia's position in his heart.
"Yeah, I think that woman is quite suitable for Bradley." Seeing the indifferent expression in Nacho's eyes, Mignon knew what he was thinking in his heart.
Nacho kissed the corner of Mignon's lips and said, "Let them deal with their own affairs. He has his own life."
"If Abigail is still alive, she must hope that everyone can be happy." Mignon put her arms around Nacho's waist and whispered in his arms.
Nacho did not say a word. He held Mignon's body quietly and looked out of the window with a pair of thoughtful eyes.
Even at this point, Nacho still had a hope in his heart. He hoped that everything was fake and Amelia was still alive. She was just too tired and hid herself. When she was no more tired, she would appear. Nacho had always been thinking like this.
In Christ's bedroom.
Christ lay in Bradley's arms. Bradley was holding a storybook in his hand. He was telling Christ a story while rubbing his hair.
Christ was sleepy and rubbed his eyes. Seeing Christ rubbing his eyes, Bradley lowered his head, kissed Christ's nose and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
"Dad... I miss mom. Didn't you say that she will come back soon? Why does mom still refuse to go home?"
Christ's eyes misted with tears. His expression was a little aggrieved and even pitiful as he looked at Bradley.
Hearing Christ's words, Bradley felt a dull pain in his heart.
He didn't say anything, only staring at Christ's face in a daze.
Christ's facial features were very similar to Bradley's, but his eyes were somewhat similar to Amelia's.
"Dad... Doesn't mom want me anymore?" Seeing that Bradley didn't speak, Christ pulled his clothes and said with tears in his eyes.
