Chapter 231 I Like You
Four days passed in a flash.
Hellen’s recent lifestyle was very simple. She went to work in the United Department of the Weststadt District during the day and went back to the Jovano family to rest at night. And she also called to comfort her good sister.
Today was the day of the engagement of Darcy and Everet.
Because of the banquet’s process, Darcy had arrived at the Jovano family early in the morning to prepare.
The first floor.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Darcy and Hellen were in the same room. They leaned against the window and looked out.
The newly delivered flowers sent by air last night were now decorated in the Jovano family’s garden, adding a bit of spring and vitality to the garden in late autumn.
Hellen clutched her cheeks and smiled. “My mother rarely holds dinner parties at home. She doesn’t like people messing around at home. This is my first time seeing the house decorated so grandly.”
Darcy was sitting on one side, and the makeup artist had already tidied up the makeup and hairstyle for her. Only the gown had not been put on.
She stood there, and her hands were trembling slightly.
Hellen looked away from the window and looked at Darcy’s trembling hands.
She couldn’t help laughing and tried to comfort her. “Darcy, you don’t have to be so scared, do you? It’s just an engagement party, and you’re already so nervous. Are you going to faint at the wedding banquet in a few months?”
Darcy coughed lightly. Her voice was sounding like it was squeezed out of her throat.
“I got what I wanted. How can I not be nervous?”
Hellen rubbed her lower abdomen and nodded. Today she was wearing an exceptionally loose evening gown, with only a stretch binding below the chest, and a loose hemline below.
Darcy looked at the time and said, “Well, you have to quickly change into your gown. The wedding MC will call for us soon.”
Hellen cooperated with Darcy to tie up the gorgeous engagement dress bit by bit with two maids.
“Okay.”
Music rang outside.
It was time to invite the female lead to the stage. Darcy took a deep breath nervously and lifted her skirt as she walked out.
Hellen followed behind. The two of them walked from the villa to the garden of the Jovano family.
In the garden, Darcy lifted her skirt, stiffly smiled, and walked onto the stage.
Hellen glanced down the stage. Her mother, Darcy’s parents, and old Mr. Lewis were all seated there.
Joanna saw her and waved at her. Hellen lifted her skirt and sat down next to her mother.
The engagement party was designed by Darcy. It was a combination of Eastern and Western. There were also some occasions where the wedding MC interacted with the engaged couple.
Hellen was watching happily and noticed that her best friend was standing on the stage with a stiff back, like a stiff fish.
She let out a low laugh. Everet stood beside Darcy and reached out to hold her hand.
Darcy relaxed after they whispered something to each other.
After chatting with the wedding MC, it was time for the couple to dance their first dance.
Everet and Darcy walked into the dance floor arm in arm, starting with a waltz.
Hellen gently caressed her belly. The surrounding young men and women all entered the dance floor.
She sat there calmly. In the past, she had to find a place to sit in the corner at the party.
The child in her belly was now her lifesaver. No one would invite her to dance.
As Hellen was pondering, a familiar voice rang out by her side.
“Little fairy, can I invite you to dance?”
Hellen raised her eyebrows and turned around to see Eddie stretching out his hand and standing to the side.
She laughed and replied casually, “Fairy usually doesn’t dance casually.”
Eddie didn’t care. He sat down in a chair beside Hellen and said, “Fairies usually don’t know how to dance.”
“The ceremony is over, and next is the banquet. What are you still doing here?”
Hellen stroked her lower abdomen. “I am a pregnant woman. If I don’t sit here, do I have to go in and dance?”
She looked at Everet and Darcy on the dance floor.
Darcy raised her head to look at him, while Everet lowered his head to look at her. It seemed that they only had each other in their eyes and the world.
Hellen felt the same way. A brilliant smile blossomed on her face.
“I’m relieved to see that my brother and Everet have engaged.”
Hellen’s face was filled with a happy and at-ease smile. She was truly happy for her brother and Darcy.
Eddie stared at Everet and Darcy for a while before shifting his gaze to Hellen quietly.
“Your brother is engaged. You should think about your marriage.”
Hellen rubbed her belly in a leisurely manner.
“I’m not in a hurry. It doesn’t matter even if I don’t get married for the rest of my life.”
Eddie’s eyes darkened as he recalled what his parents had told him. He lowered his voice.
“After I came back from Jena City, I heard that Hans announced in Moreton’s seminar that the child in your belly was his. Does Hans know the truth?”
Hellen was originally intoxicated with Everet and Darcy’s happiness, but when she heard Eddie’s words, she came back to her senses suddenly.
She was startled and looked around. When she saw that no one was around, she lowered her voice.
“Lower your voice, don’t let others hear it!”
When Eddie saw Hellen’s reaction, he raised his eyebrows and had an idea in his mind.
“Since you are so nervous, Hans probably doesn’t know the truth yet.”
Hellen glared at him, thought for a moment, and said, “Hans’s current knowledge of this is the same as your previous identity.”
Eddie burst into laughter. “Do you mean Hans thinks that the child in your belly is mine, but he is willing to be my child’s father? I really can’t tell that he is such a generous person.”
It was obvious that Eddie was gloating.
Hellen stared angrily at him.
“Well, don’t just sit here. Show me around your backyard garden.”
Eddie pulled Hellen to her feet.
Hellen said lazily, “How many times have you come to my home? Can’t you just stroll around by yourself? Why must you drag me along?”
Eddie smiled and stared at Hellen. “Let’s go. I have something to tell you.”
Hellen had no choice but to follow him to the backyard garden.
On the narrow path, the two of them gradually moved away from the banquet.
The surroundings became quiet. Hellen came to a somewhat exhausted halt.
“Eddie, it is confirmed that there is no one here. Even the surveillance camera in this area is silent. What do you want to say?”
Eddie turned around and looked at Hellen solemnly.
Just as Hellen felt as though her heart was about to go crazy from his stare, he suddenly spoke out. “Hellen, I like you.”
Hellen was stunned, and then she frowned. She felt as though she had been fooled.
“Is that what you want to say? I thought you would say something important!”
Hellen had heard Eddie’s words more than dozens of times ever since they met.
