If it weren't for Pedro's persistence and the recovery of his lost daughter, in addition to the wealth accumulated by Valerie in the past few years, the Moore family would not accept her even after so many years.
Andrea was able to rise through the levels with just one step, thanks to her bloodline. This was her destiny, and no one could stop her.
Irvin set a time with me and said, "Six o'clock tonight. I'll pick you up an hour earlier and take you to try on some dresses and makeup."
I nodded. Even if I put on makeup and picked my own clothes, it probably wouldn't be presentable. Therefore, I naturally let him worry about it.
It was still early when I got home, and I was bored, so I called Monique.
It was a pity that her phone was turned off. She had been here for three months. If she had stayed here for confinement, she would have been done. Why was her phone always turned off?
I had no choice but to call Ian. The phone rang for a long while before it was answered. He sounded to be a little busy. "Arianna, I'm watching the baby right now. What about you? What are you doing?"
I was surprised. It must be tough for a man to take care of a newborn baby.
"Are you still with Monique in the countryside?" I asked, leaning back on the sofa and looking a little lazy.
He did not speak. After a while, he said, "Yes, what about you? How have you been? Are you all right?"
I nodded, "Yeah I'm good, I will go back to Ucrebury at the end of the year. Will you come to celebrate the New Year? Or will you stay in the countryside?"
"I'm not sure yet!" He seemed to be busy, so I couldn't help but to ask, "Where's Monique? Is her cell phone broken? Why hasn't she been answering the phone? I've called her a few times these past few days, but none of them have gotten through."
"Yeah! She's quite busy. I've got to be heading off now. Let's keep in touch." With that, he hung up the phone.
I paused and didn't say anything else.
