The evening banquet was not over, yet Rosalyn was going to leave first.

Generally speaking, before leaving, people would say goodbye to the host. Thus, she directly went to Brian.

A group of journalists was drawn by her-The Brian couple and Rosalyn's relationship was very subtle. Moreover, Rosalyn and Joanne wore the same outfit tonight. The journalists had been wishing to see more sparks between them long ago.

Now, the three finally stood face to face. Moreover, with Rosalyn's aura, she must be overwhelming.

While others could not see, Joanne knew that Rosalyn was coming at her. Her warning was easy to read: She would not give up Brian.

Likewise, she had also decided to fight for Brian.

"Brian, I'm leaving. See you next time." Rosalyn smiled naturally and acted like they were close. Then, she turned her eyes to Joanne and said aloofly, "Mrs. Lambert, good night."

Joanne did not treat Rosalyn as some enemy. She just saw her as another guest and smiled. "Good night."

During the short session that lasted for less than two minutes, journalists' cameras did not miss anyone's any expression.

Rosalyn turned around to leave. Her agent and security guards besieged her. The journalists followed to ask questions, and she would sometimes answer a question on her way out.

"Rosalyn, why are you leaving so early?"

She smiled. "My flight to the US is at midnight, and I've got an interview tomorrow. Why do you think I'm leaving so early?"

The journalists smiled. "Rosalyn, last time when you were in the US, your suicide story was all over the news. You hadn't responded to it yet. Can you tell us the what the real story is?"

Last time, the news that Brian's real love was Rosalyn had a twist and became that Rosalyn attempted suicide for love. Every portal put the news on their front page, and every forum was talking about it. Her latest tweet received 1 million comments. The journalists tried to reach Rosalyn, but she did not respond at all. She simply let others know that she was still alive and was fine.

Now, she had expected that the journalist would bring up the matter, thus she was well-prepared and had thought of an answer.

"I was under pressure during that time, so there has been a misunderstanding. I apologize to all of you. I'm fine now, and my new show is under smooth filming. Thank you and my fans for your love. I promise you that I'll take care of myself and give you a great show."

This was the first time Rosalyn had said anything to respond to her "suicide attempt". She managed to deny the whole thing in a few words and blamed it on the work pressure. The journalists still wanted to ask further, but Rosalyn declined questions concerning the matter.

The journalists had to ask another thing that everyone wanted to know. "Rosalyn, many agencies have been contacting you. Will you consider a new contract with other agencies?"

"I've been cooperating with Lambert Group for many years. I've got a mature team and best friends here, and I don't want to leave yet. Thank you for your concern.

Afterward, Rosalyn got into the minivan and left.

Inside the ballroom, the atmosphere was even hotter than in the beginning.

Some people were still dancing, while some financiers in suits were having small talks. However, the more common scenario was that some young people would chat up each other.

Feeling attracted to a stranger, they would pat on their shoulder and tried to make small talk. They would talk about their hobbies and work, and left a phone number in the end. This entire process was romantic and they were all beaming.

When Joanne was at school, she had seen so many alike scenes. She felt it was beautiful and could not help tugging at Brian's hand. "Have you ever chat up a girl?"

Brian cocked an eyebrow. "Isn't it too late for you to investigate now?"

Joanne was speechless for a few seconds. "Who's investigating you? I'm just asking if you have done anything like that. Freya said that this kind of thing also depends on your skill."

Brian looked over her. "What skill?"

"When a boy hit on a girl, he must laugh. And he must laugh in a gentle or energetic way. Anyway, he has to look charming, not creepy or lustful, and don't..." Then, Joanne suddenly thought something. "Why are you asking me? Haven't you hit on a girl?"

"Usually, girls hit on me." Brian said calmly. "Just like you threw yourself at me when you were young."

"..."

Well, then what about Rosalyn? How did they meet? Rosalyn called him "Brian" in a so natural and intimate way. The two must be... close.

It turned out that her, the real Mrs. Lambert, could always call him by both his first name and last name: Brian.

However, she did not want to share the same name with Rosalyn at all. While the partners and employees respected him, people Rosalyn acted close to him. Instead, she just wanted to call him by his full name, direct and domineering. It was just like another way to claim her right on Brian!

She lifted her chins. "That's because I was young and innocent. But when I've grown up, I get smarter and no one has ever taken advantage of me."

Her advantage had all been taken by Brian, even when she still did not know what love was. Brian had already appeared in her life and took her heart by then.

She was about to argue with Brian, but Joanne spotted two acquaintances-

They were Mr. Megan Mrs. and Pang.

When she was a freshman, she was working for her accommodation to ease the burden on Chris. She had found a part-time job as a family teacher and her employer was the Pang couple.

Mrs. Megan cared for her and also paid her well. She would always let her stay for dinner and have the chauffeur drive her to school when she finished the classes.

At that time, her roommates used to call Joanne extremely lucky to have run into such a good employer.

Joanne also knew that it was really hard to find employers like them so she had always kept them in mind. However, when she went abroad, they became out of touch. When she married Brian and attended her first party, she met with them again.

Today, the met with each other again.

"Mrs. Megan." She smiled and greeted them.

Mrs. Megan was here especially for Joanne and smiled back. "Joanne, you grow prettier every time I see you."

Joanne smiled shyly. Mr. Megan and Brian greeted each other, and then the two men naturally talked about business and stock.

Mrs. Megan complained to her husband. "Why are you talking about it with everyone? What A share, B share? I can't understand, and Joanne can't understand either."

"It's normal for you to not understand," said Mr. Megan, "it's like men don't understand when women talk about bags and cosmetics."

Mrs. Lambert glared at him, while Mr. Megan smiled tenderly.

Joanne tugged at Brian's sleeves and pointed to somewhere not far away. "You have a good talk, I'll go there with Mrs. Megan."

Brian answered, "OK. Don't get too far, I'll go get you later."

Joanne nodded and went there with Mrs. Megan. "We don't have to listen if we don't understand them."

Mrs. Megan smiled. "Right, we'll just let them. I happen to have something to tell you-Joanne, Mr. Lambert cares for you more than I've expected. You two get along well, he'll make you happy."

From what Joanne knew, Brian was not too close to Mr. Megan. It was strange for Mrs. Megan to suddenly came up with those words. Just like the first time she attended a party with Brian, Mrs. Megan also said something strange.

"I can see that you're wondering why I said this." Mrs. Megan beamed. "There's something I'll tell you in the future, when the right time comes."

Joanne had a hunch that the thing was about Brian. Her heart was itching for the fact. "Can you tell me now?"

Mrs. Megan smiled mysteriously. "I'm afraid I can't."

Joanne did not pester and just smiled it away. "How's Henry?" Henry was Mrs. Megan and Mr. Megan's only son. Joanne had helped him with his Math and English classes.

Mrs. Megan said, "Henry's grades are very good now. Since you went abroad, we haven't hired another teacher. And he always talks about you."

Joanne did not expect that the little kid still remembered her. "I'll go see him next time."

"You must." Mrs. Megan was naturally very happy. "I won't tell him. Give him a surprise. Right, you and Mr. Lambert... have you thought about having a baby?"

Well, how did the topic change to baby?

Joanne's cheeks turned hot, and Mrs. Megan immediately saw she was shy. Mrs. Megan patted on her hand. "How can you blush so easily? You're already married. A baby is an angle. He can make you two love each other more. And he'll make you feel you have a complete family. I think you and Mr. Lambert should have a baby soon."

Joanne's cheeks almost exploded from the heat. Suddenly a familiar voice rang behind her-

"Joanne and I are planning on it." Brian walked over and naturally held Joanne's waist. "I'll tell Mrs. Megan once we've got the good news."

Mrs. Megan beamed and nodded for several times. Mr. Megan had to helplessly ask why she was always encouraging others to have babies and if she wanted to set up a "Baby-Delivering Promotion House". Though it sounded teasingly, Mr. Megan's voice was full of affection.

Mrs. Megan agreed and praised her husband for being so creative.

Looking at them leaving, Joanne exclaimed from the bottom of her heart. "They really love each other. They were like this years ago, and now they're still the same. Nothing has changed."

"Envy?" asked Brian.

Joanne shook her head. "I just thought it's really nice."

She knew that she could not get such a love by envying other people. She geniuelly felt it was really nice. If she could, she would have wished for one too.

At that time, Brian's words popped into Joanne's head again. She asked depressedly, "Why are you telling people that we're having a baby?" Fact: They did not, alright? They were not even a normal couple!

Brian acted like he could care less about what he said. "What's wrong with that?"

Joanne pursed her lips, upset. "What if next time they ask me how's the plan going? What am I supposed to say?"

Brian raised one eyebrow and blurt out. "You just say we've decided to have a baby."
