“Why do you look for me?” Leilani looked up and down at her. If Rebecca has recovered, they could be able to get out of here.
“Nothing. There was a distant relative in the palace. He’s interested in gemstones, and I want to introduce him to you.”
Leilani took a look at the distant relative, who was about 40 or 50 years. Was he Rebecca’s elders?
She didn’t like the way the man looked at her.
“He is my uncle, Alexander Clinton.”
Leilani smiled politely, and she heard Rebecca introducing her to Alexander, “Uncle, this is my best friend, Leilani Peters.”
“Hello, Leilani. You are so gorgeous.”
Leilani just thanked him in a shallow tone.
“Sit down and have a chat,” Rebecca pulled Leilani to her side to sit down, and let the servant bring her a teapot of scented tea.
“Leilani, how about the jade in my hand?” Alexander took out the jade he played with, which was a piece of jade shaped like an egg.
The jade was carved with a god beast. It must be expensive, for the sculpture was fine and vivid. Leilani told him her opinion, truthfully. Alexander proudly put away the jade and said, “There are more of this kind of jade in my family. If you like it, I can give you one or two.”
Leilani wasn’t good at talking to strangers. When he suddenly said he was going to give her something, Leilani leaned back on the sofa, touched her belly, and said, “Sorry.”
The man didn’t hear the meaning of refusal, and said, “If you don’t like jade, there are all kinds of precious gemstones in my family. Just say whatever you like.”
Rebecca sat beside and said bluntly, “Uncle, you like Leilani, right?”
Leilani didn’t like to deal with this situation and wanted to find an excuse to go upstairs. Rebecca stood up first, “Leilani, my mother, was looking for me. Please help me give my uncle a treat. I’ll be right back. Wait for me.”
“Excuse me, uncle. I’ll be right back.”
Alexander rubbed his hands in a familiar way.
Rebecca, before leaving, repeatedly said she was coming back soon, and told Leilani to wait for her.
After she left, Leilani got up and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Leilani quietly followed Rebecca, who was walking in a hurry and didn’t find Leilani following her.
Leilani watched Rebecca walking into the kitchen, and she had to eavesdrop at the door.
“Mother.”
“Have you arranged for it?”
“Yes, I think uncle likes her. Mother, is this right?”
“Why is it not right? That woman is always between you and Mr. Bamford. She divorced and is pregnant. She was highly regarded by your uncle. Otherwise, no one would like her, no matter how beautiful she is.”
“What if she doesn’t like uncle?”
“I’ll let your uncle stay a few more days and let them cultivate more feelings.”
Leilani didn’t hear what they said later. The person who was called mother by Rebecca was Mrs. President, whom Leilani has not met yet for a few days.
Leilani laughed coldly. Mrs. President let Rebecca arrange a blind date for her. No wonder this man looked at her as a commodity, as if he had money to buy her back.
Leilani returned to the living room, and she wasn’t going to drink the tea.
Waylen wasn’t here. After Leilani heard their conversation, she had to be very careful about what she’s eating and drinking.
“Do you believe in astrology?” Alexander suddenly asked.
Leilani raised her head, “Do you believe it?”
“Of course. It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. It’s for fun.”
Leilani put the teacup back on the coffee table, “Do you want to know my astrology?”
“How do you know that?” Alexander scratched his bald head.
“Uncle, men are not in fashion to date girls with astrology.”
“What’s in fashion now?”
“They would put a small mirror in the pocket and look in the mirror before they pick up a girl.”
“Oh, I got it. I know what is popular in your city. My family has three castles, two mines, and an oil field. Although you are divorced, and you’re pregnant, I can marry you as my third wife.”
“Third wife?” That was to say the man had two wives now. No wonder Waylen said that people in Country B were open.
“Don’t be afraid they’ll hurt you. You’re the smallest wife. I’ll help you. At first, they’ll be jealous of your beauty. But maybe you’ll be jealous of them one day.”
Leilani couldn’t help laughing, “Did you know why I divorced?”
Alexander shook his head around.
“I lost hundreds of billions of my ex-husband’s possessions. I don’t know whether your family has that money either.”
Alexander didn’t know what to say and swallowed saliva.
“Your ex-husband must be old, fat, and ugly. Otherwise, how could he marry you?”
“I don’t know whether my ex-husband is ugly. You have to see this by yourself.” After that, Leilani looked at the door. Alexander also looked at the door at the same time and saw a handsome man coming in from the door.
Unexpectedly, Alexander dropped the jade in his hand to the coffee table and then grabbed Leilani’s hand, “You are the kind of woman who is wanton. If you marry me in the future, you need to take care of me. If you cheat on me, I’ll throw you into the sea!”
“Who says I’m going to marry you? There’s something wrong with your brain. Go to see a doctor and don’t lower the IQ of the men in Country B.”
“If you don’t marry me, do you think others will marry you? Rebecca had said if I were willing to marry you, she would give me a piece of land. Otherwise, how could I marry you? After all, you were divorced and pregnant.”
When Waylen came over, he heard that the man wanted to take Leilani as his third wife.
He sat down and held Leilani’s waist, “Who is he?”
“Who are you? Don’t touch my future third wife!”
“Oh, uncle, don’t be angry. He’s my ex-husband and the princess’s current boyfriend. Is the relationship complicated?”
As Leilani spoke, she heard the voice of Rebecca coming out of the kitchen, “Is Waylen back?”
Rebecca has gone to the living room, “Waylen, this is my uncle, Alexander. He inadvertently saw Leilani’s picture and knew that Leilani had studied the gemstones, so he wants me to introduce Leilani to him. Leilani isn’t with Andrew. Maybe he is a good choice.”
“Do you think he matches Leilani?”
“My uncle is very nice.”
“Yes, I think uncle is very nice, too,” Leilani repeated Rebecca’s words on purpose. Waylen stood up and wanted to beat Alexander.
Leilani gave Waylen a tug and asked, “Rebecca, if I marry your uncle, what should you call me?”
“Auntie.” She said immediately.
“So I’m your elders?”
Rebecca didn’t know what Leilani was thinking.
Leilani said slowly, “I have heard that Country B is a country of etiquette. When people here see their elders for the first time, they have to bow.”
Leilani said slowly, “I have heard that Country B is a country of etiquette. When people here see their elders for the first time, they have to bow.”
“Yes. People here are in an orderly and humble manner.” Alexander hurriedly echoed Leilani’s words as he thought Leilani agreed with him.
At this time, the screen of the phone he put on the table lit up. Alexander looked down, quickly picked up the phone and ran out to answer it.
Rebecca didn’t panic as expected but maintained a proper manner. With a sense of apology and softness, she slightly smiled, “Leilani, are you angry?”
Whether Leilani admitted to being angry at this time was nonsense.
For the first time, Leilani thought that Rebecca was scheming.
From the conversation between Rebecca and her mother, Rebecca’s keeping all the courtesy was only a superficial mask.
Rebecca was staring at Leilani as if she did not want to let go of Leilani’s subtle expression, and she kept her graceful smile, “If you’re angry, I’m sorry for that. I’m so thoughtless. When my mother told me that, I didn’t think that’s right. As your friend, I want you to stay in the country. Then we can be relatives. My uncle is the richest person in the country except for my father, and he can protect you and promise the glory of your life. I didn’t think much about it. I’m so sorry.”
Rebecca’s every word was in light of the benefits of Leilani. If Leilani refused her kindness, she would be considered as a mean person.
Leilani would probably have believed Rebecca’s words if she hadn’t changed. But she has heard the conversation between Rebecca and her mother.
Leilani smiled coldly and raised her chin to look at Rebecca. Although Rebecca, as a princess, was standing, Leilani sitting on the sofa was not weaker than her. Leilani replied, “I thank you for your good intentions, but your uncle doesn’t like me and said that I didn’t deserve him. Since that is the case, I don’t want to cause trouble for anyone.”
With that, she continued to say, “I didn’t think about it. What should the child in my belly call you? You are older than me. I cannot let the child call you sister. I’m just afraid you’ll be embarrassed.”
Rebecca’s look changed slightly, “It’s my fault, Leilani. I’m sorry. Please don’t have any caution about me because of this. Waylen, it seems that I have done bad things with good intentions.”
Leilani looked down at the phone casually and was shocked by the man’s words. Waylen said in a cold voice, “Rebecca, it’s time we should go our separate way. It’s all over.”
Rebecca’s face suddenly seemed to be pale. Because of Waylen’s words, she staggered, her pupils were wide open, and her breathing began to become hasty. Soon, with a thump, she fell on the carpet.
“Rebecca!” Alexander screamed first, followed by servants, bodyguards, and Rebecca’s mother.
