Chapter 337 - BBQ

**

They had agreed to meet for the camping trip at the entrance of Forest Park. At 10 a.m., there were only three cars parked there. Janessa was leaning against a car and watching her camera when Emily got off her car.

"Here you are!" Seeing them get out of the car, Janessa put the camera around her neck. Then, she took two bags from Armando and walked towards Emily and Emma with a smile, "Gifts for you!"

"Thanks." Emily took it, about to open it.

Janessa covered the bag, "Stop. Open it when you are home."

Emily didn't know what to say.

She felt that it would be an incredible gift, so she covered it and didn't take another look. Emma, instead, was not curious. Handing the gift to Stony, Emma took out an iron box from her backpack and handed it to Janessa. "Home-made sausages."

Janessa whistled, "Nice. I admire all women who cook. Is it the kind of sausage we ate at the guest house?"

Emma nodded.

Janessa laughed, "I like it a lot. We'll eat it at the barbecue."

"Okay."

Emily glanced at the other two cars and said to Janessa and Emma, "I'll take a look over there."

Janessa nodded with a smile, "He may be waiting for you. I didn't see him out of the car after he arrived."

Emily said, "Alright." Then, she walked towards the black car. Before opening the door, she just put her face on the window. There was a man lying on the back seat with eyes closed. He was sleeping.

Didn't he sleep well last night?

She took a step back. Right after that, the door was opened. Then, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside with his long arm.

"Aren't you asleep?" She closed the door and looked at him.

Vincent whispered, "Yes." Then, he put his head on the side of her neck, sniffed her scent and closed his eyes again.

Emily looked down. Vincent looked handsome and innocent with his eyes closed. His eyelashes were long and curly, his nose high-bridged, and his thin lips slightly pursed.

Looking up, Emily saw Rex in the passenger seat showing his mobile phone's screen. It said, "Mr. Vincent has slept for only three hours."

Emily didn't know what to say.

Then why is he here?

Rex read Emily's mind through her expression. He withdrew his hand, typed some words, and showed it to her again, "To see you."

Emily was pleased.

She looked calm, but her heart was pounding.

She looked at Vincent again, and then looked up, signaling Rex to turn around with her lips.

Rex wondered what she would do.

Emily wanted to kiss Vincent, but she couldn't manage it with this posture. So, she could only give up.

Rex laughed. He probably knew what she was thinking. Then, he showed Emily another line, "Do you want to kiss Mr. Vincent secretly?"

Meanwhile, Vincent opened his eyes and read the words on the screen. Then, he looked at Emily, narrowed his eyes, and said in a charming voice, "You don't need to kiss me secretly."

Rex and the driver got off the car. Janessa smiled mischievously, asking Rex, "Hey, what are they doing?"

Instead of saying anything, Rex thought, 'This woman is frivolous!'

"I'm asking you." Janessa was probably too bored, so she came over and acted like she was going to peep inside.

Rex kept quiet and thought, 'And flippant!'

Receiving no response, Janessa got closer to the window. Fortunately, Armando grabbed her arm and said in a gentle voice, "Don't tease him."

Janessa laughed out loud, "Look at how frightened he is." Meanwhile, he patted Armando's back, "Just like you used to be."

The air seemed to freeze.

Neither Rex nor Armando said anything.

Rex was embarrassed, and Armando recalled happy times in the past.

After a while, Janessa realized that she got carried away, so she stopped laughing and walked towards Ferne to chat with them.

Ferne brought Noah this time, both of whom were dressed casually. One was handsome and energetic, and the other was dashing and poised. Many women were attracted to them, and some rosy-cheeked adolescent girls even came over and asked for Noah's phone number. However, Noah waved his hand and refused.

Ferne wanted to have more fun, so he shouted at the girls, "I know his number. I'll tell you. Take a note. It's 1...."

Noah took out a glove from nowhere and stuffed it into Ferne's mouth.

Ferne spat it out, "Damn you!"

Noah squinted at Ferne, "What did you say?"

Ferne didn't want to piss Noah off, "Nothing…. I didn't say anything." But he kept cursing in his mind, "Damn you, Noah...!"

With a calm face, Noah reached out the back of Ferne's neck and pinched it.

Ferne was so painful that his mind went blank and his eyes rolled back in his head.

Janessa knew that Ferne was married, so she asked why he didn't bring his wife both times. Ferne replied,

"I'm afraid it will ruin the day."

Janessa whispered to Armando, "Is his wife a dragon?"

"No, his wife likes plastic surgery." Then, Armando added, "She seems to have her prosthesis pulled out again, and Ferne doesn't recognize her."

Janessa didn't know what to say.

Randy finally arrived. Besides his eight team members, a woman also got off the car. Everyone's attention was attracted, and they noticed that it was Arabella.

Janessa was blue in the face, but she didn't say anything in public. After all, Arabella was already here.

Randy greeted everyone. When he was in front of Janessa, he put his hands together in the hope that she wouldn't vent her anger on him, "I didn't ask her! I left my house and ran into her. Knowing that we are going camping, she said that she wanted some fresh air and wished to go with us. How can I turn her down?"

Janessa took a deep breath, "Alright. Let's go."

Randy sighed with relief.

However, before long, another car was approaching. When it came close enough, it stopped. The door was opened, and a pair of sneakers came into view.

"Damn!" Randy was astonished, with his hands on his head, "Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

That's why he agreed to take Arabella here!

If he knew that Jaquan would come, he wouldn't bring Arabella. They didn't know the detail, but they all knew that Jaquan and Arabella had broken up. It was embarrassing and would get more embarrassing when the two of them ran into each other and even went camping together.

Jaquan lost a lot of weight and didn't look well. Getting out of the car, he forced a smile and greeted everyone. He noticed Arabella immediately. She was wearing a leather jacket, a leather coat, and leather trousers. Her legs were long and slender in her outfit, and she looked sexy and powerful. Holding her sunglasses, she was eye-catching even in a distance. She could face the world at her best no matter what happened. Even if they broke up, she was still confident and beautiful.

Jaquan didn't stop smiling. Instead, he smiled brightly at her as a greeting.

Arabella came here for Jaquan. Seeing his haggard face, she wondered if it was because she broke up with him....

However, it was a done deal. She was too proud to take back what she said.

All of the people gathered together. Randy was once again the captain. After counting the number of the people, he asked them to get on the car and drive into the forest. It was almost noon, and they could start the BBQ.

They were about to get on the car when they saw Emma and Stony, who had visited John. Emma was wearing a white coat. It seemed that she liked wearing white clothes, such as white sweaters, white down jackets, and white coats.... He seldom saw her in black clothes.

Jaquan thought that she liked white clothes and she looked perfect in white.

Stony saw Jaquan immediately. He was excited and shouted, "Mr. Jaquan!"

Jaquan said with a natural smile, "Nice to see you guys."

Emma also saw him and nodded a greeting.

Stony rushed to him. Jaquan bent forward a little, touched Stony's head, and lifted Stony up, "You miss me, don't you?" As he spoke, he turned his eyes upon Emma.

Right before he left his house, he thought that Emma might come. Although he was uncertain, he still came.

He wanted to hug her and ask her if she missed him.

But it must be wishful thinking.

Emma wouldn't miss him, because she hated him.

The only thing he could do was to hug her son tightly with delight, as if he were hugging her.

Stony was surprised and excited, and he blushed.

Emma wanted to say something but she opened her mouth and said nothing.
