Chapter 726 - Burnt (3)

Eliot and Sydnee briefly explained what had happened to them. The policeman and his colleagues went to contact someone to obtain surveillance video so that they could arrest the perpetrators. After catching the perpetrators, the policemen would give them an ideological education. When the policemen found the owner of the dog, they wound decide the matter based on the dog's owner's opinion.

"Are you married?" Before leaving, the policeman asked Sydnee but didn't see her wearing a ring on her finger.

"We are getting married soon, and you will be invited to the wedding then," Eliot said, holding Sydnee's hand.

The policeman smiled bitterly, "Alright, I'll attend."

He noticed that Eliot's leg was injured and he was limping, but Sydnee didn't seem to care about him at all. "Maybe this is the true appearance of love." The policeman sighed and turned into the car.

Sydnee waved to the policeman.

It was already one in the afternoon when they returned to Eliot's house.

Sydnee glanced at the newly purchased ingredients in the refrigerator and asked Eliot, who was washing his hands, "Are you hungry? How about eating some food first?"

"I'm not hungry, do as you please." Eliot had been on the phone since he got in the car, so Sydnee drove the car back later.

After washing his hands, Eliot went into the room and took the laptop out. When he walked to the sofa with the laptop in his arms, he deliberately turned into the kitchen and kissed Sydnee's face.

Sydnee said nothing.

At two in the afternoon, Eliot finally had his reunion dinner for the Mid-Autumn Festival--the reunion dinner of Eliot and Sydnee.

During the dinner, Janice called and asked where Sydnee was. Today Lynn had a reunion dinner with Janice. After eating, Lynn said that she was going to stay with Sydnee, so Janice called to confirm.

Sydnee naturally understood what Lynn meant. She told Janice that she was with Lynn.

Janice said a few more words and then hung up the phone.

Eliot didn't say anything and continued eating quietly.

When Sydnee was washing the dishes in the sink, Eliot hugged her and asked, "Stay tonight?"

Sydnee was a little surprised.

Sydnee's eyes widened. "I, hum, I..."

Eliot kissed her face, "I'm teasing you, I'll go busy for a while, and send you back in the afternoon."

The family motto of the Dickersons was very feudal. The thoughts that Sydnee was instilled from childhood were that she must get married before she could do those intimate things. Although she didn't dislike premarital sex, she ... felt a little nervous and uneasy.

Moreover, it didn't take long for them to be lovers, now ... wouldn't it be too fast? Although she did like him, she, she ... sympathized with him, and her parents disagreed that they should become lovers. There were many uncertain factors in the future, so she dared not take risks.

In the evening, the policeman called and said that the dog was a stray dog without an owner, and now the group of delinquents had been arrested and educated.

It could be considered as giving Sydnee an explanation.

Eliot listened by her side and asked, "What about the dog?"

"Take it to the stray dog shelter and they'll deal with it." The policeman said.

"Deal with it?" Eliot asked.

"The dog is injured and half-dead. It is estimated that no one wants to adopt it. It should be given a shot and euthanized."

"Where is the dog? Has it been sent?" Eliot stood up and took the car key. Sydnee was a little puzzled and asked softly, "Where are you going?"

The policeman on the other end of the phone said, "Well, it has been sent."

"Where is the shelter?" Eliot asked.

After hanging up, Eliot said to Sydnee, "I'll send you back first."

"You're adopting that dog?" Sydnee asked.

"Yes," Eliot took the walking stick and went to the porch to change his shoes, "The house is big enough for the dog to live in. I will communicate with the landlord later."

"Eliot..." Sydnee grabbed him, "The dog is different from humans. Don't..."

Eliot touched her face and said, "I know, it's just because I can't just leave it to die, not because it's lame like me and nobody wants it."

"Certainly, you're still with me." he said.

When Sydnee was sent home, her mind was in a daze as she thought about Eliot's last sentence.

-- "You're still with me."

Such a family reunion festival, Eliot was alone in the rented room, there was no festival celebration, no reunion dinner, even no one to accompany him.

"Sydnee, is the Tea Manor busy recently?" Janice came over and asked.

Sydnee hadn't been home for a long time, so Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson didn't have a chance to chat with her. Now that they were enjoying the moon in the yard after dinner, Janice had the opportunity to ask her carefully.

Janice knew that the Tea Manor had been planted tea trees by the Britts, and Sydnee had been busy there, but they didn't work out profitable projects.

In addition, she knew that the savvy Emily of the Britts had bought several houses, and the houses had been rented out. Just one month's rent would cost a lot of money. Sydnee went to collect the rent several times. Janice didn't know how much the rent was, but she knew that the house was worth several million.

Janice agreed with the relationship between Sydnee and Emily, but she didn't like Eliot. After all, the rumors were that Eliot was not born by Maury. Although Eliot had a good character, he could not resist the rumors. Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson had other plans before, but now they just suppressed the plans.

"So-so," Sydnee said as she took a bite of the moon cake.

"If you are not busy, stay at home for a few more days. Your aunt arranged a blind date for you. It just happens that these few days are the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. You can just have a meal with him tomorrow."

Sydnee sighed, "I don't want to go on a blind date. Didn't you have a lesson on the last blind date? It is hard to fathom a person's mind. Could you know the character of the other person after a few meals with him?"

"You are not young anymore, but you still don't have a boyfriend." Janice was full of melancholy, "How could you find a boy with a good character you know? Most men about your age are married. How can you find a boyfriend?"

Sydnee was silent.

"Well, Sydnee just came back. Let her rest for a few days before talking about the blind date." Ryan said.

"She will leave after a few days of rest. When is the next time? New Year?" Janice was unhappy, "It's okay if you don't want to find a boyfriend, we can help you. However, when we arrange a blind date for you, you should attend."

"Sydnee said she didn't want to find a boyfriend. Why are you so anxious?"

"If I were not anxious, who would be anxious? You? Can you find a boyfriend for her? She is not young now. If she doesn't find a boyfriend, she will become a' leftover woman'!"
