Chapter 479

After a few seconds of silence , Jennifer said , “ I bought them for Isabel .”
Sanford said , “ Okay . I saw you carrying a toy car . Does Isabel like boy toys like that ? ”
Jennifer nodded . “ She’s been staying at Teresa’s place these days . She kept asking for toys , so I got her some . ”
Jennifer was about to leave , but Sanford still didn’t believe her . After that , she offered to drive him back to the hotel .
Sanford sighed , but got in the car anyway .
He said , “ Jennifer , we’ve been friends for years . Don’t you trust me ? You can tell me straight if something is up .”
Jennifer had told Sanford before that Teresa had a son .
But then it turned into a daughter , and she wasn’t of Teresa but of Teresa’s mother . So , actually , she was Teresa’s little sister.
However , Sanford remembered that he had seen a boy lying next to Teresa in Cheryl’s car once . He couldn’t help but relate that to Jennifer buying a toy
car .
Sanford narrowed his eyes .
Jennifer said coldly , “ What do you want me to say ? Can you please not make things harder for me ? ”
She couldn’t let anything go wrong with her wedding . She was a perfectionist , so she didn’t want to talk about Michael right now .
Sanford sighed again and said , “ You can drop me off by the curb . I need to go to the mall and pick up some stuff before going back to the hotel .”
Jennifer agreed and quickly changed the subject . “ Hey , can you sing a song at my wedding ? I don’t want to be the bride with no one singing for me . ”
“ Isn’t Teresa singing for you ? ” asked Sanford .
Jennifer said , “ Trust me , you don’t want to hear Teresa sing . ”
Sanford replied , “ Alright .”
Sanford thought for a moment and then smiled . He said , “ I’ll prepare for it . Your wedding comes first . We’ll talk about whatever else after your wedding . ”
“ Thanks . ” Jennifer knew Sanford wouldn’t give her any more trouble .
After all these years as friends and classmates , she knew Sanford well .
Cheryl had to go back to attend Donald’s wedding .
She had skipped his engagement last time , which really ticked off their parents .
Now , with Donald’s grand wedding coming up , it would be impossible to justify not showing up as his little sister .
Cheryl told Lyndon about it , the same guy she saw first when she woke up after fainting from heatstroke last time .
After that scare , seeing someone so warm and caring and always looking out for her , Cheryl couldn’t help but feel a little moved .
Lyndon often took Cheryl out to eat . Every time they met , he would bring her flowers , sometimes daisies , sometimes pink roses , sometimes lilies .
He said that Cheryl was as delicate and beautiful as the flowers .

Cheryl said to Lyndon , “ I need to go back to Nareigh for a bit . My brother’s wedding is coming . I have to be there . ”
They were walking in the park . Lyndon took her hand and said , “ Can I come with you ? Maybe I’ll catch some of your brother’s wedding luck and get married soon myself . ”
Cheryl’s cheeks turned red , but she didn’t pull her hand away . She said , “ I can’t bring you . You’re not my boyfr- ”
“ What did you say ? ” asked Lyndon .
“ You’re not my boyfriend . ” Cheryl puffed up her cheeks and said it out loud .
Lyndon looked at her gently . “ Then will you give me a chance to be your boyfriend ? ”
Cheryl didn’t nod , but she didn’t say no either .
Lyndon smiled softly and said , “ Cheryl , I like you . ”
He held her hand and leaned in , about to kiss her .
But just as their lips were about to meet , Cheryl’s mind suddenly buzzed , and she pushed Lyndon away .
