Chapter 765: You’re Disappointing Craven
Ji Yinbing and Yan Nuo finally became relatives. On this day, Zhuang Long and the rest were really happy for him.
After the lunch banquet ended, many guests left with casual gifts. Under Butler La Pu’s lead, a group of relatives went to their rooms to rest, some went to play cards, and some went shopping. The remaining groomsmen and bridesmaids who had not eaten and Yan Nuo, who had already drunk too much but was still trying to hold on until the last moment.
The waiter served them another table of dishes.
Ji Yinbing wanted to change into her gown, so Yan Nuo followed her upstairs. After taking off her gown, Ji Yinbing put on a comfortable dress and went downstairs with Yan Nuo. She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. She could probably eat a cow.
The two of them came downstairs and walked out of the elevator. They saw Olivia standing at the other end of the corridor. After not seeing her for a few months, Olivia was actually pregnant. Today, Olivia was wearing a light green mid-length dress with a slight bulge in her abdomen.
Ji Yinbing was stunned to see Olivia.
She had sent Olivia an invitation. When she did not see her at the banquet, Ji Yinbing thought that she would not come.
After adjusting her expression, Ji Yinbing said to Yan Nuo, “Yan Nuo, go eat first. I’m going to see a friend.” Yan Nuo also saw Olivia. He sized her up and confirmed that she was not dangerous before nodding in agreement.
After watching Yan Nuo leave, Ji Yinbing walked over and patted Olivia’s shoulder.
Olivia lowered her head and scrolled through her phone’s contact list. She planned to contact Ji Yinbing and ask if she was still at the hotel. After being patted on the shoulder, Olivia looked up in surprise. When she saw Ji Yinbing, she smiled at her and said, “Sorry, my lover is not feeling well. I’ve been taking care of him and didn’t have time to attend the wedding banquet. I thought you guys had already left. Fortunately, we met.”
Olivia handed a small box to Ji Yinbing and said, “This is for you. Happy marriage.”
Ji Yinbing took the box and shook it, unable to guess what was inside.
She didn’t ask and thanked Olivia first.
“Have you eaten? Let’s go in for a meal?”
Olivia guessed that the people eating inside were probably Ji Yinbing’s best friends. She would not join in the fun alone. She shook her head and said, “I’ve been having a cold recently. I feel nauseous just smelling the food. It’s better not to go in.”
“I just came to see you.”
Ji Yinbing understood what she meant.
Craven was no longer around. As Craven’s sister, she wanted to see her in his stead. She wanted to see her for herself and make sure she was happy before she felt at ease.
At the thought of Craven, the smile on Ji Yinbing’s face faded.
Olivia knew what Ji Yinbing was thinking. She touched her stomach and walked to the window. Ji Yinbing followed her. The two of them stood by the window and looked down at the Central Park downstairs. Olivia said softly, “Recently, I’ve often missed him.”
Ji Yinbing looked at Olivia and did not reply rashly.
Olivia continued, “I always dream about how he looked when he was in high school. At that time, he was still very mischievous and had some of the arrogance of geniuses. The food he made didn’t taste good, but he despised me for making it. Every morning, he would eat the breakfast I made and complain that breakfast was really hard to swallow.”
“In my dreams, I was always arguing with him. He was still the same. When we quarreled, he refused to be at a disadvantage and deliberately said unpleasant things. I was so angry that I wanted to cry.”
“But in my dreams, I always remember that the person I quarreled with is no longer around. I can’t bear to scold him loudly. I’m afraid that if I raise my voice, this dream will end. Craven will be especially puzzled and ask me why I’ve become so obedient and why I stopped arguing with him.”
As Olivia spoke, her eyes started to turn red.
She rubbed her eyes and said, “In my dream last night, he finally stopped arguing with me and didn’t look like a teenager. He was wearing the clothes he wore when he left New York for Geneva for the last time. He was wearing a gray shirt and black pants with a backpack. He stood outside our house and talked to me non-stop.”
“I clearly remember the last time he left home. He was especially naggy. He told me that a businessman like Jerry was too powerful and told me to wipe my eyes and not mistake him for someone else. He was especially afraid that I would do something stupid. He told me to remember to wear a condom when I made out with Jerry. If Jerry let me down, he asked me to call her…”
Olivia was standing in front of Craven at that time. She was a little angry when she heard her brother talk about all the bad things about Jerry. However, when she thought about how her brother was about to leave, she endured the thought of arguing with Craven.
“But in last night’s dream, he was wearing the same clothes and standing in the same place, but everything he said to me changed. He kept talking about how good you were, how determined you were, how you were the most special girl he had ever seen, how infatuated he was with you, how much he wanted you to be happy…”
At the end of her speech, Olivia finally sounded like she was crying.
Ji Yinbing felt terrible.
She hugged Olivia and comforted her. “Olivia, don’t cry. Don’t cry. I know you miss him. In fact, I miss him very much. But what can I do? Craven is gone. He will live in heaven forever. He will see you happy and the baby in your stomach safely born.”
Olivia hugged Ji Yinbing and sobbed. She sobbed and said to Ji Yinbing, “You have to be happy. He gave you the chance to live. You have to be happy. Bing, if you’re not happy, you’ll be letting Craven down.”
Ji Yinbing’s eyes turned red.
She said, “Okay, I’ll definitely be happy.”
After sending Olivia off, Ji Yinbing was in a low mood and felt terrible.
Yan Nuo actually did not return to his room. He had been standing against the wall at the corner. He had eavesdropped on Olivia and Ji Yinbing’s conversation and felt especially upset. He suddenly felt afraid. If Craven was still alive, he would definitely be the greatest threat to his relationship with Ji Yinbing.
It was not because Craven was rich and powerful, but because he really loved Ji Yinbing.
Fortunately, he was dead.
Even though such thoughts were despicable, Yan Nuo still felt relieved.
Ji Yinbing sat alone on the bench in the corridor for a while before opening the gift box. The things in the gift box were unexpected. It was an ultrasound scan and a piece of paper. Ji Yinbing picked up the ultrasound scan and saw that it was an image of a boy.
She picked up the piece of paper and saw that it said—
This is Jerry and my baby. We named him Craven.
Ji Yinbing looked at the photo in a daze and lowered her head, her thoughts complicated.
