Chapter 699 Lorenzo
Jessie nodded and shook her head, "There was surprise but no joy."
Lorenzo was amused by her distinctive reply, making him laugh out loud, and it took a while before he stopped, "Jessie, you're really cute." The corner of Jessie's mouth twitched, "Well ...... Mr. Hayes, why did you suddenly come to my home?"
This person called her by the name of Jessie as if they knew each other well.
But they were strangers who had only met once.
"Mr. Hayes?" Before Lorenzo could say anything, Jessie's mother glared at Jessie unhappily, "Have you really forgotten that this is Lorenzo?"
"I know his name is Lorenzo, but why say I forgot?" Jessie was full of confusion.
When Jessie's mother couldn't help but sigh, "You girl, you really have a poor memory."
"It's not Jessie's fault, after all, we were separated for twenty years, she was still young at that time, it's normal for her not to remember me." Lorenzo smiled, then approached Jessie and extended his hand towards her, "Jessie, after twenty years, we are finally reunited, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Lorenzo. Twenty years ago, I was your neighbor."
"Twenty years ago, Lorenzo......" Jessie whispered, and slowly, some memory fragments came towards her mind.
Her mouth opened wide in surprise and she pointed at Lorenzo, "You ...... Lorenzo!"
"Remember now?" A hint of joy flashed in Lorenzo's eyes.
Jessie nodded repeatedly, "I remember, we used to be best friends when we were kids, I used to follow you around, but you moved away with your parents when you were ten. Lorenzo, how did you become so tall and handsome? Obviously you were still a little chubby when you were a kid."
She reached out her hand and grabbed both of Lorenzo's arms and kept measuring them, her face full of excitement and surprise.
Lorenzo pretended to laugh bitterly, "Hey, hey, you don't remember anything, but you do remember exactly how fat I looked when I was a kid, right?"
Jessie laughed heatedly, "Sorry, Lorenzo, I am just too excited, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, how can I be angry with you?" Lorenzo stroked her hair.
Jessie raised her hand and touched the place he had touched, "Right, Lorenzo, did you recognize me last time?"
"Yeah." Lorenzo nodded with a generous acknowledgement.
Jessie's mother saw the two recognized each other, smiled gratefully and turned to the kitchen to make tea, leaving the place for the two youngsters to have a chat.
"You recognized me and you're still hiding it from me and acting as a stranger to comfort me, it's too much!" Jessie pouted, feigning displeasure.
Lorenzo smiled apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to see if you could recognize me, but it turns out that you really didn't recognize me at all."
"Hmph, you didn't tell me directly, it's all excuses." Jessie bristled.
Lorenzo helplessly spread his hands, "Okay, my fault, how about I give you a gift, don't be angry, okay?"
He fished a small, delicately wrapped gift box out of his pocket and handed it to her.
Jessie didn't refuse and reached out to take it.
When you meet a gift, you don't usually refuse it, and if you do, the person giving it will be unhappy.
"Lorenzo, I didn't prepare a gift for you, I'll make it up for you next time." Jessie looked at Lorenzo and said in an embarrassing manner.
Lorenzo smiled carelessly, "It doesn't matter, you remembered me, it's the best gift for me."
Jessie snorted, "Lorenzo, you're so sweet, your girlfriend must have been made very happy by you, right?"
Hearing this, the smile on Lorenzo's face faded for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal, smiling and shaking his head, "I don't have a girlfriend yet."
"No?" Jessie's eyes widened in surprise, "You don't have a girlfriend yet? You're thirty, isn't your mom anxious?"
"Yes, she is, so I'm back in J City to find her a daughter-in-law. Will you be willing to help me?" Lorenzo looked at her with a smile, a strange light flashed under his eyes. Jessie didn't see it and promised with a beat of her chest, "Okay, Lorenzo, I'm telling you, I have a lot of beautiful girls around me, I'll introduce you."
"Good." Lorenzo nodded, and then changed the subject, "Right, open the gift and see if you like it."
"Okay." Jessie responded and began to open the gift.
The box was unpacked and inside was a very high end design diamond bracelet that sparkled and shone beautifully.
Seeing the surprised expression on Jessie's face, Lorenzo knew that she liked it.
"Put it on if you like." Lorenzo added.
Jessie nodded repeatedly, "Okay, thanks Lorenzo, I like it a lot."
When she finished, she took the bracelet out of the box and prepared to put it on herself.
However, it was a bit inconvenient to put on the bracelet with one hand, so Lorenzo stretched out his hand, taking the bracelet, "Let me help you." Jessie readily agreed.
Jessie's mother came out of the kitchen with tea, just in time to see the two head against head, getting along very well, her face raised in a kind smile. Jessie and Lorenzo, they seem to be a good match, at the very least, than with George.
Thinking of George, Jessie's mother sighed with bleary eyes.
George was too extreme and too shady, Jessie would not be happy with him, she would only be hurt.
But Jessie liked George, even George was repeatedly indifferent to her, but she did not want to give up. She and her husband had scolded her, but always failed to let Jessie give up on George.
She had thought that Jessie would be trapped for George for the rest of her life, but to her surprise, her neighbor from twenty years ago suddenly contacted her, saying that her son liked Jessie and planned to come to J City to find Jessie.
She thought that maybe it was time for some other boy to appear by Jessie's side so that Jessie could take back the heart she had placed on George, wasn't there a saying that the best way to forget a relationship was to start a new one? So she readily gave the address to her neighbor from twenty years ago, and that's how Lorenzo came today.
Lorenzo was tall and handsome, not at all worse than George, and he had a gentle personality, too much better than George.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Most importantly, he liked Jessie.
As a mother, she really didn't want to see her daughter chasing George and getting herself hurt, she preferred her daughter to be well taken care of. So, she would rather her daughter be with someone who loved her daughter than with George.
Just hope that Lorenzo's arrival will make Jessie take her heart back from George.
Thinking, Jessie's mother sighed and shook her head before resuming her smiling face and walking over, "What are you two doing?"
Lorenzo looked up and smiled gently at Jessie's mother, "I gave Jessie a bracelet and help her put it on."
"Mom, do you think it looks good?" Jessie lifted her wrist and shook it, revealing the glowing bracelet on her wrist.
Jessie's mother nodded, "It looks good, but it's expensive, right? Lorenzo, I'm sorry to make you cost the money." "No, it's not expensive." Lorenzo waved his hand.
