A burst of laughter came from the opposite room, and everything seemed illusory and ethereal.
If my mother's illness had been cured, and Maliyah had never experienced such a terrible thing, all of this might be true.
I took a deep breath and suppressed the sadness in my heart. I smiled and let Alex hold my hand as we walked into the house.
Angela looked at me meaningfully with a gratified smile in her eyes.
She looked very much like my mother.
I thought, 'It is just an act. How could she take it seriously? How many good results can a flash marriage have? Especially, Alex and I are not a match in social status.'
Actually, I was quite curious about how he had convinced my mother to trust him so much.
Did I want his wealth? Or his handsome face?
When I followed Austin to Newton City, my mother feared I would be wronged in the Herrera family and told me to think carefully.
She even said that handsome men were unreliable, not to mention rich and beautiful men. Even if a man could restrain his thoughts, he could not stop the women around him from falling for him.
I still remember I was adamant that Austin was different from other men.
Austin was indeed different. At least he could live without blushing or sweating, and there was no flaw at all.
"I'll go and help," I said, struggling to free Alex's hand.
His dark and deep eyes looked at me affectionately, and my heart beat faster instantly.
It seemed that everyone in the Herrera family could enter the entertainment industry. Their affectionate looks were too realistic.
I almost believed it.
Bonnie walked to me and patted my shoulder gently. She smiled and said, "We don't need your help. Go and be with Alex."
Alex?
I almost burst out laughing.
After setting up the tableware, I wanted to sit beside my mother, but I didn't expect her to give me a disliked look and say, "Sit with Alex."
Then she held Angela's hand and asked with a smile, "Angela, Laurel are married. What about you? When are you getting married?"
Angela was stunned. She smiled and leaned on my mother's shoulder. "Yvette, I haven't found my Prince Charming yet. When I find him, you'll be the first one I bring him to, okay?"
My mother smiled and reached out to gently stroke Angela's head like when she was young. Her eyes were filled with love as she said, "Okay, but you need to hurry up."
Angela bit her lips and held my mother's arm tightly as if she was suppressing the sadness in her heart.
My mother paused and said, "Don't wait until Laurel's kid is all grown up. It'll be too late for you to get married."
Angela replied, "No. I will definitely be able to marry myself off within a year."
Upon hearing Angela's confident tone, my mother smiled brightly.
"Angela, it looks like you have someone you like?" my mother said.
Then everyone's gaze landed on Angela.
Only I frowned slightly.
'Could Angela still be unwilling to give up on Isaac?' I thought.
"Angela, when can you bring the person you like back for us to meet?" Maliyah echoed.
"There's still a long way to go." Angela pursed her lips and looked disappointed.
My mother glanced at her and slowly said, "Angela, you are so good-looking. Who wouldn't like you?"
Angela grew up with me and often came to my house to freeload. My mother loved Angela the first time she saw her.
She said Angela was like a small star in a movie.
I didn't comment. I also felt Angela was like Snow White in a fairy tale when I first met her.
Angela had big eyes. She had long braids and was wearing a pink fluffy skirt back then.
She spoke in a childish voice.
However, Angela completely deviated from her original path as she grew up.
A little lady had turned into a tomboy.
My mother said I had led Angela astray.
I didn't. It was Javier who led her astray.
Angela smiled and said, "Many more people are prettier than me. Laurel is also prettier!"
My mother glanced at the silent Javier. "Javier, what about you? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Javier was stunned. "I'm still in school. It should be my sister who dates first.
"Can't you date when you're in school?" Bonnie frowned. There was a hint of anxiety in her tone. "Other children already have girlfriends in high school. Their families repeatedly tell them not to fall in love when they're in school. What about you?"
"Mom, I'm still young. What's the hurry?" Javier scratched his head. "Why don't you rush Maliyah? She's graduated. Isn't she also without a boyfriend?"
Bonnie glared at Javier. "Maliyah is different from you. I've only heard of a bachelor who can't find a wife, but never heard of a girl who can't get married. Don't tell me you don't like women. I'm not that closed-minded, but..."
"Mom, I like girls."
When Bonnie heard Javier's firm tone, she nodded. "Good. Then let Laurel and Alex see if there are any suitable young ladies to introduce to you."
"No, thanks. I already have someone I like," Javier quickly replied, but it sounded like he was being perfunctory.
Bonnie glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. "You bring her home for us to meet since you have one. Don't worry, as long as it's a woman."
Javier was stunned. I thought he would be angry, but I didn't expect him to ask seriously, "Mom, you said it yourself. As long as it's a woman."
Shock flashed across Bonnie's face. "You do have someone you like?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Bonnie paused and said, "But she had better not be the same age as I am. I can't accept it."
Upon hearing that, Alex couldn't help but chuckle.
My mother looked at Maliyah. "Maliyah, what about you? Do you have any man you like? If you do, take the initiative. It's not easy to find someone you truly like."
Maliyah was slightly stunned and shook her head.
"Are there any men pursuing you?" Javier asked with a gossipy expression.
Angela glanced at me without batting an eyelid. Then, her gaze landed on Javier. "Javier, when will you bring the person you like for us to meet?"
"What about you?" said Javier.
Javier was not to be outdone. Angela and Javier had been noisy when they were together since they were young.
Angela hesitated. "You won't know him even if I tell you. It's not time to bring him out yet."
"How do you know I don't know him? Or is there no such person?"
Angela glanced at Javier indifferently. "Do you know Isaac Parks?"
If my mother's illness had been cured, and Maliyah had never experienced such a terrible thing, all of this might be true.
I took a deep breath and suppressed the sadness in my heart. I smiled and let Alex hold my hand as we walked into the house.
