Because Florence behaves as usual, Rodney really doesn't care too much. As soon as Florence gets out of the car, she immediately walks towards Li Yi. She pretends to take out her makeup mirror from her bag, but actually, she is observing Rodney's behavior. There are more and more vehicles on the road, which is a good opportunity for her. She quickens her pace and walks close to Nelson. Nelson has seen Rodney who is not far away. He raises his face and looks behind. His eyes are full of expectation.
"Mommy, why didn't uncle come?" It seems that he is a little disappointed without seeing Brian. She squats in front of Nelson, rubs his head, and whispers, "Go with mommy later, Okay? Let's go to another place. Uncle Cao has something to do, and I will take you to look for your uncle." In her last resort, she has to lie to Nelson. It is the first time that she has lied to him, and of course she is a little bitter, but she has no other choice. Nelson is clever originally. In the past, Florence took him, wandering everywhere. So such a routine is not very strange to him. The little child stares at her seriously, "Mommy, are we going to leave here again?" Hearing his question, Florence is speechless. She could only rub his head and smile. "Nelson, let's go to another place. You will also have other children at that time. Mommy promise you, okay?" Before he leaves, Nelson's eyes have already turned red. Florence makes up her mind and knows that time is running out, so she drags him away.
Rodney finds something wrong and immediately gets out of the car to chase after them, but it is still a little late. Taking advantage of the crowd, Florence and Nelson have vanished in the crowd. Rodney immediately calls Brian. Without a word, Brian remains in silence. But even through the phone, Rodney still feels his coldness, and originally he thinks Brian would be furious. Surprisingly, his voice sounds calm, "Well, I know." His reply is just a short sentence. Rodney doesn’t understand his thoughts, so he suggests tentatively, "Mr. Si, do I need to get Miss Li back?" "No." Brian pauses a little before saying, "Send a few bodyguards to protect them. Don't show up and interfere in their lives until they have to." Rodney is surprised, but he replies yes.
The sixty-fourth floor of Si Group. Brian puts down his phone and stands in front of French windows. Staring at everything in front of him, he feels a bit lonely. Originally he thought that during these three months, he would find a way to make Florence change her mind, but now it seems that there is no possibility. He narrows his eyes in a daze, and a smile face appears in front of his eyes. "Brian, I love you best." The silvery and sweet voice echoes in his ears. He feels a little pain in his heart. In fact, if there were no Antonia or that jade pendant, he would love her. It is he who ruined this relationship, and he has been hurting her all the time. And that proud and confident little girl now is so humble and careful because of him. Deep down there is a deep pain. He goes back to the office table, opens the drawer, and takes out a gold card from inside. He prepares to give it to Rodney, and then lets him try to give it to Florence. Not disturbing the rest of her life may be the best way for her.

However, he thinks of a person. He should let her know what kind of position and situation she should be in. When Brian returns to the villa, Antonia quickly comes up to meet him, as if nothing happened. She takes Brian's arm with a smile, "Brian, we really have mutual affinity. I make a lot of dishes you like today. Thank you for working all day." Her deliberate curiosity makes the servants working in Si family feel a little disgusted. She was just directing from the sidelines and didn't do anything. To their surprise, she even talks through her hat, and also puts the credit on herself. "Nanny Liu, please bring the dishes up." Antonia turns her head and orders her. Nanny Liu and other servants glance at one another and go into the kitchen to work.
One of the servants sighs slightly, takes the bowls out of the cupboard, and says, "If the two women are compared, we will find that the two women are really a far cry between. Look at Miss Li, when she stays here, she helps us every day, and never claims credit for herself." Nanny Liu glares at her and scolds, "Don't say it again, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." "What did you say just now?" As soon as Nanny Liu's voice disappears, suddenly Antonia's gloomy voice sounds behind her. The little girl who talked just now is startled and throws the plates on the ground. She looks scared.
Antonia walks slowly towards her, raises her hand and gives her a slap in the face. The little girl blushes, and the five clear fingerprints on her face make Nanny Liu frown and she quickly steps forward to protect her. She lowers her head and whispers, "Miss Su, she is new and doesn't know the rules, so she doesn't mean to offend you." Antonia raises her eyebrows and then immediately raises her hand. The clear slap sounds again. "Aunt!" The little girl steps forward and wants to argue with Antonia, but she is pulled by Nanny Liu, who shakes her head towards her. Antonia sneers and looks at them, "The servants should obey rules of being servants. Don't gossip in the back. If you like Florence so much, then go with her! And you, Nanny Liu, I am the hostess of the Si family. What did you call me just now? Miss Su? You have also lived here so many years. Don’t you know such a minor etiquette?”
Actually Antonia is just looking for someone to vent her anger on. Brian treats her badly and now even these servants dare to bully her! After teaching them a lesson, the anger in her heart does not diminish much. As soon as she thinks of that slut Florence, she feels very angry. But when she turns out of the kitchen, her face is full of smile. Her facial expressions switch freely, which makes Nanny Liu and Mavis surprised, and they also understand why Brian treats her like that. Brian comes downstairs with a cold face, and Antonia waves at him with a sweet smile on her face.
"Time to eat." "Who allows you to come back?" The indifferent voice escapes from his throat, Antonia is stunned, and her smile stiffens on her face. Her fingers grasp the chair nervously, and she tries her best to squeeze out a smile, "Brian, I think maybe there is a misunderstanding between us ..." "Answer my question." During this time, Brian has already come to her, and the great bulk of his body hangs over like a shadow over her. The invisible sense of pressure makes Antonia's heart beat quicker, and her eyes are red, "I miss you, so I come back."
