"Maybe."

He was dissatisfied: "What Maybe? I just like how you dress beautifully." Thinking of her looking beautiful in the beautiful dress he bought, I feel happy in my heart.He bought her a dress,? But she barely wore it.Since Helen bought a lot of daily clothes for her, they basically didn't visit clothing stores when they went out to play, and they didn't have much chance to buy them for her.

She changed his old pajamas, looked a little more childish, "I look pretty in anything, okay?"

"That's true." Just as he was about to hug her, he heard Arlene knocking on the door outside, "Rui Fan."

He opened the door and went out, whispering to Arlene for a while in the corridor.Arlene left, and he still stood in the corridor for a long time.

Hailey was already lying down, pretending to be asleep.

Rui Fan walked to the bed, squatted down, "babybear,?" stroking her hair, "Are you asleep?"

"Fell asleep."

He hesitated for a moment, "Go to sleep, I will sleep in the living room later."

She opened her eyes and looked at him, then closed them again, "Will Arlene not let you sleep with me?"

He didn't answer.

"I thought you were over 18 years old." She said coldly.

"You don't understand... what mother means to me, to us."

"I don't understand." She was suddenly a little annoyed, "Do you think Helen doesn't know you're spending the night in my room? Did she say anything?"

"That's different."

"Why is it different?" She sat up abruptly, which startled Rui Fan.Then he was pushed down by her,? fell to the floor.

She immediately got out of bed, knelt beside him, "Do you think I'm still young,? I don't know what Arlene thinks about you? Have you forgotten that I study theoretical physics? This means To say that I am smarter than 99% of the people in this country, I don't need a lot of life experience to understand, she is your mother, she loves you very much, but she is also using this love to bind you. Is she afraid of something ?”

"—She's not. Well, Haili——" Rui Fan was shocked, a little embarrassed, and couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

He sat up. "Mom isn't like that."

"What kind? Actually, you know it very well in your heart, she doesn't want you to leave home and her. Rui Fan, have you thought about the future?"

"Wh, after what?"

"In the future, you and I probably haven't thought about it. Helen could see it very clearly. She said that you never thought about... getting married. Why didn't you propose to me?"

"—That is," Rui Fan was greatly shocked, "You are still young and still in college."

"Just admit it, you never thought about it!" She raised her voice a little, furiously.

Rui Fan raised his hand to cover her mouth, but she tilted her head, moved away, and then lowered her voice, "Helen said that men will definitely want to marry the woman they love deeply. You don't love me at all!"

Rui Fan panicked, "I love you! I've loved you since the first time I saw you, you know that."

"I don't know!" she said angrily.

Then she stood up suddenly, went to the chest of drawers, opened the first drawer, took out a small jewelry box, and found a ring inside.

Rui Fan also stood up and walked behind her.

"Now, take this ring, and when you send me back to Berkeley, we can register in San Francisco."

Shocked by her action again, Rui Fan was almost dizzy, "How—why do you—do you want to get married?"

"I don't know if I want to get married, but I don't like that you listen to Arlene. If you need a marriage to get rid of her, then I am willing to marry you."

He was upset, "You made this decision suddenly, I didn't think about it."

Hailey put the ring on the chest of drawers, "If you think about it, take the ring. Now, you go out."

The next day, on the morning of the 24th, Haili called Jacques, took Summer, and drove to Gainesville.

Had lunch and dinner in Gainesville, ate a lot of snacks, watched an afternoon movie, and drove back to the ranch after dinner.

When refueling on the way, Summer quietly said to Jacques: "Did Haili and Rui Fan quarrel?"

"Probably." Jacques looked at the fuel gauge, and then at Haili who was still sitting in the car.

Summer didn't understand, "But, yesterday was Rui Fan's birthday, why did they quarrel?"

"You have to ask Rui Fan."

"He won't. Tell me, can I ask Hailey?"

"You are too talkative, don't ask." Jacques rubbed his little sister's hair.

Summer was dissatisfied, "I have grown up, you can't touch my hair casually, it will mess up!"

After returning to the ranch, Haili went to her room to check the ring first: the ring was still there.

She sighed softly.

Today I ran out to play all day in anger, but I didn't feel happy. I was still angry and troubled all day long.She didn't know how to deal with this kind of problem, think about it, although Rui Fan was given a choice, but she couldn't control his choice, he probably wouldn't think of breaking away from Arlene at all.

She sat on the edge of the bed upset, not knowing what to do.

Summer knocked on the door, came in, and closed the door carefully, "Hailey," approached her a little furtively, "Rui Fan almost did all the things at home and outside today, even the horses. He Yes or no--"

Haili raised her forehead: This guy!

"Don't ask me, ask him."

"Did you quarrel?"

"That's it."

"But," Summer was troubled, "wasn't it Rui Fan's birthday yesterday? The happiest birthday is, so don't make him sad. If he makes you unhappy, let him apologize to you, you forgive him, That way he won't be tossing himself all the time."

Hai Li forced a smile, "Maybe it's not that simple."

"why?"

"Go and ask him."

Summer sighed, "He won't talk. He's always like this. He keeps everything in his heart, and no one knows what he's thinking."

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Rui Fan is very good, has a good temper, and is also very pretty. You are the first girlfriend he brought to the ranch. I think he really loves you."

"Does he like ranches?"

Summer nodded affirmatively, "I like it very much. He said that this is 'home'."

Jacques' room.

Jacques talked about where he went today and whether Haili was happy. After finishing speaking, he was quite dissatisfied, "Don't make her unhappy, she didn't smile much today. How cute she is when she smiles!"

"Do you like her?" Rui Fan was quite surprised.

"She is very beautiful and cute, and unlike girls from rich families, her eyes are on the top of her head." Children who grow up on the street have keen observation skills and can quickly see the essence of a person. "I really like her."

Rui Fan didn't say anything, just smoked fiercely.

Another day passed, and another day passed, and on the night of the 26th, Hailey put away the ring.

On the morning of the 27th, Jacques drove her to Gainesville Airport and booked the earliest flight to San Francisco.

River Phoenix returned to Los Angeles in mid-September.

The paparazzi were quick to notice that he was no longer heading to Berkeley on the weekends, and concluded that he had broken up with Hailey again, as they snapped pictures of him at various parties, as if he was serious about projecting his image as a health icon. I don't care that much anymore.

He still lives at the Chateau Marmont.

Arlene returned to Los Angeles with the other 4 children in early September, and Jacques will graduate from high school in one year.

Rui Fan no longer goes home to spend the night, and occasionally comes over once in the evening, and leaves soon after coming.

Keanu didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, nothing seemed to change.

Berkeley.

When I was promoted to the second grade, the number of courses increased. I had to take 8 classes almost every day, sometimes 10 classes, and occasionally went to class on Saturdays. In my free time, I was busy doing homework in the library. I was too tired to do anything. Mood considerations.

The apartment opposite had a new tenant. He was a young, fashionable and beautiful young man, a humanities graduate student. Haili had only met that person once, and she forgot his name as soon as she turned around.

On the weekend at the end of September, Hailey returned to Los Angeles once to attend Helen and Alexander's engagement banquet.

She didn't ask why Helen suddenly agreed to the marriage proposal again, that was her business, she was an adult now, and she didn't need to ask her daughter's opinion.

David Bashroff came to pick them up at the hotel where the banquet was held, and was very surprised to find that Hailey's boyfriend was a tall and handsome young man he had never seen before.

Hayley introduced them to each other, "David, this is Jim, Jim Caviezel. Jim, this is David Bashroff, Alexander's son."

The two men shook hands quickly.

Jim was a little surprised that David's eyes were quite hostile until he got in the car. After a while, he suddenly realized: those eyes are looking at a rival in love!

Hayley paid no attention to David.

Helen didn't care about David or Jim either.

She never asked her daughter why she broke up with Rui Fan, and there was nothing wrong with changing to Jim as her male partner. Jim was handsome, with the tall and straight figure of an athlete, tall, with a shy smile, and was very likable.

As for how Hailey will deal with David and Jim, she doesn't worry about it. This is a very common scene for her, and she never thought that Hailey would not be able to handle it.What's more, David has never been Haili's boyfriend, and he can only hold back no matter how unhappy he is.

The engagement banquet was very grand, serious businessmen with business contacts, some politicians were invited, and Broadway stars were invited to perform live. It was very high-end, solemn yet relaxed.

Helen has a white and delicate complexion like a camellia flower, wearing a midnight blue dress, blond hair and blue eyes, a well-mannered appearance, unparalleled appearance, perfect manners, calm and calm, and impeccable.In the past, various tabloids speculated that she was just a German textile worker, and her social status could only be improved because of her natural beauty, but now it seems that this kind of unreasonable speculation is extremely ridiculous.

Her English is perfectly pronounced, with a slight Oxford accent, and she uses regular words and never speaks vulgar slang; German is fluent, French is equally fluent, and Spanish is spoken at a daily conversational level.

You can talk to her about social, political, economic and cultural topics, but her attitude is more reserved and arrogant. If she doesn't want to talk to her, she just smiles, doesn't answer, and then quickly changes the topic.

Like everyone else, Jim was also baptized by Helen's beauty, and he was a little dizzy all the way, and he didn't wake up until the banquet.

"Helen is beautiful, isn't it?" Haili asked a little suspiciously.
