Annie has been living in the Wilson family for the better part of a month.Jane tries her best to persuade her every day, hoping that Annie can choose Duke.
In this way, Duke has the chance to inherit the Wilson family.
Even Duke spends time with Annie every day.
However...
Annie doesn"t seem to have any feelings for Duke.
It"s just...
Occasionally, when Annie sees Aaron busy working overtime and refuses to come back, she would feel a little frustrated.
Annie stays in her room this morning when her father, Frank, gives a call to her.
"Annie, how are you in the Wilson family?"
As soon as she answers the call from her father, Annie sits down on the bed with her back to the door like a little girl.
"Dad, the Wilson family, are very kind to me. Uncle Wilson, Aunt Wilson, Duke, and Aaron... they take good care of me!"
From the phone spreads a hearty laugh, "It seems that you are quite used to live in the Wilson family, so dad can rest a.s.sured! Well, Annie, the two sons of the Wilson family, which one do you want to pick?"
Actually...
Before Annie came to the Wilson family, Frank talked to Annie about their engagement.
Annie also understood that her father asked her to live in Wilson"s family so that she could have more contact and understanding with the Wilson family"s two young men and choose one of them as her fiancé.
Before she came, though, she was repulsive.
But after seeing Aaron...
She seemed to accept the engagement with silence.
Suddenly being asked by Frank, Annie blushes and says, "Dad! Why did you call me just for asking this question?"
To hear her answer...
Frank guesses that she must have had a crush on someone, just because she"s shy, it is difficult to speak out.
Frank immediately says, "Okay, Okay! Dad won"t ask! I will go back the day after tomorrow. You can tell me by yourself."
Annie looks surprised and asks, "Really! Dad! You"ll be back the day after tomorrow! So soon!"
Frank pretends to be serious, "How? Don"t you want to leave Wilson, family? Don"t you want me to come back?"
Annie"s anxious and scolds her father, "No! Dad, you are an adult, how do you always behave like a child!"
"... "
Jane originally wanted to invite Annie to go to the beauty salon together.
Unexpectedly, just when she walks to the door, she hears Annie talking on the phone.
She doesn"t catch what is said on the other end...
Still, she hears a lot of useful information from Annie.
That"s...
Annie has chosen between Aaron and Duke in her mind.
Frank will be back the day after tomorrow...
That means Annie will follow him back to Johnson Family on that day.
Then when Mr. Johnson comes to the Wilson Family again, he will discuss Annie"s marriage with Edward.
If it comes to that time, there is no chance to make any change.
So Jane cannot help being alarmed by this call.
But she doesn"t know...
Who will Annie choose, Aaron or Duke?
Although Jane is very confident about her son, she is still a little worried.
In case...
The person Annie chooses is Aaron.
No way!
She must not allow that thing to happen!
She has to get Annie to choose Duke!
Jane hurries back to her room and immediately calls Duke, who is at work at the time.
"Duke, let me tell you something. Mr. Johnson will be back soon! Annie has had a choice in her mind, and I don"t know who it is. But we should do something to make sure that she will choose you!"
Only by taking the initiative can success be possible.
If they wait so pa.s.sively, they may get unexpected results.
Duke is also worried when he hears what Jane says.
"What should we do?"
"Well, mom"s going to try Annie out and see what she says. If she likes you... we don"t have to do anything, but if she shows a lot of affection for Aaron... Let"s try other ways."
Duke nods. "Yes! That"s the best we can do for now."
After hanging up...
Jane goes back to Annie"s room and knocks gently on the door.
By this time, Annie has ended the call.
When she looks back, she sees Jane and immediately comes over, "Aunt Wilson!"
Jane smiles and says, "Annie, Duke is busy with his work and has no time to go out with you. You are wronged these days."
Hearing Jane"s words, Annie quickly answers, "Aunt Wilson, please don"t say so. In fact, Duke has spent enough time with me every day. Their work is more important, and I can understand."
Jane smiles more happily, "Annie, you are really a reasonable girl. The man who will marry you in the future is so lucky."
"Aunt Wilson, you are so kind. The girl who will be your daughter-in-law is also very lucky."
Jane laughs, "Let"s stop complimenting each other. How about this? Would you like to accompany me to have a beauty treatment and ma.s.sage to relax?"
Annie agrees, "Of course!"
"Well, you change your clothes first. I will wait for you downstairs."
Ten minutes later...
Jane and Annie go out to the most professional beauty center in Hadley city to have a beauty treatment.
Lying in a comfortable, beautiful bed with thick facial masks on their faces and people ma.s.saging their heads, they are in a relaxed mood.
Jane asks, "Jane, my husband and I really like you. I hope you can be our daughter-in-law. I don"t know... Aaron and Duke, which one do you like?"
When it comes to this question...
Annie is a little shy.
Fortunately, her face is covered with a thick mask, which makes it hard to see her blush.
"Aaron and Duke are both so excellent. There must be many girls who like them. It would be my blessing to marry into the Wilson family."
Hearing Annie"s words, Jane is more confident that she must have someone in her mind.
Jane sounds her out in a subtler way: "In fact, for Edward and me, Aaron and Duke are both our sons, no matter who you will marry, and at last you will be our daughter-in-law! But my aunt is curious. Who is so lucky to win Annie"s heart?"
