I stared at Shannon in silence for a while, feeling a bit annoyed. I grabbed a pillow and pounded on it a few times, muttering, "What should we do? You tell me! Tell me!" I was already quite concerned, and Shannon kept picking on me, which made me even more irritated. Perhaps sensing my anger, Shannon looked a bit embarrassed and turned her head away. She started comforting me, following the train of thought from my previous words. To be honest, I was just feeling restless, and venting it out made me feel much better. Plus, having someone console me slowly helped me calm down. Shannon and I silently locked eyes for a while, and then, as if we had reached an agreement, we both let out a long sigh and leaned back on the sofa cushions. "Shannon, I suddenly feel like I'm not a good person.""Well, if you weren't my best friend, I would also think you're not a good person." Hearing Shannon's firm agreement, I quickly reached out and pinched her. Immediately, I heard her cry out in pain, "Ouch! Seriously, I can't believe you did that. You said you're not a good person yourself, and I was just expressing the same feeling. Did you have to be so mean?" Through gritted teeth, I retorted, "You shouldn't have felt the same way." Helplessly, Shannon said, "Go away, you're pregnant, so you think you're superior. I won't argue with you." After this little commotion, the atmosphere seemed less heavy, but we both fell silent again. After a while, Shannon suddenly pushed me away and sat up straight. Excitedly, she exclaimed, "Hey, hey, hey, I've come up with an idea. I think we should give it a try."I wasn't too interested and instinctively felt that it probably wasn't a good idea. But Shannon didn't need my response at all. She continued talking to herself. "Tomorrow, I'm going to attend his engagement banquet. I'll try to talk to Nicholas Scott before the banquet starts." "We were friends once, so Nicholas Scott should give me face." "When I see him, I'll call you, and you can talk to him over the phone. Let's just do our best and leave the rest to fate. We won't force anything... Do you think this could work?" Surprisingly, after hearing Shannon's idea that wasn't really an idea, I felt like maybe we could give it a try. Not meeting in person, just using the phone, shouldn't be so awkward, right? As Shannon said, do what you can and leave the rest to fate. Even if it's useless, it's better than doing nothing and just watching. After silently thinking for a while, I finally made a decision. "Alright, let's give it a try, but..." I paused, then continued, changing the subject, "how about you ask Nicholas Scott for his opinion after you meet him tomorrow? See if he's willing." "What if he's not willing, but we go ahead without his consent? That wouldn't be good." Shannon seemed a bit speechless about what I said next. "According to your logic, if he refuses, then we just give up? That would be a waste of effort." I shook my head and said, "I can't be friends with Nicholas Scott anymore. If he really doesn't even want to talk to me, then I can't just take a knife and stab him in the heart." Speaking of which, I felt a bit sad again, waved my hand, and made a decision. "That's it, just listen to me." Although Shannon's eyes showed disagreement, she eventually agreed with me.That night, she didn't stay to eat risotto, saying she had to go home and wait for the invitation from Nicholas Scott. I didn't stop her and let her leave in a hurry. But because my mind was in a mess and I kept thinking about Nicholas Scott, I forgot to tell Dominic Hartnell. As a result, when he came back, he bought a bunch of ingredients for hot pizza. He didn't ask much when I told him Shannon had something to do and left. He still made a Yin and Yang pizza. The pizza was delicious, with a particularly rich and fragrant broth made from bones by Dominic Hartnell. But I ate it absentmindedly, unlike my usual self. Of course, Dominic Hartnell's keen eyes couldn't be fooled. While he was cooking and serving the food, he casually asked with a casual tone. Hearing this, I glanced at him with a tangled expression, contemplating whether to tell the truth or not. Dominic Hartnell didn't rush me; he just put the cooked dishes and meat into my bowl and gently urged me to eat more and not go hungry. I picked up a meatball and ate it slowly. After swallowing the last bite, I made up my mind to speak up! I was prepared to persuade Dominic Hartnell with great effort, so when I finished explaining the main points, I started to prepare for what I was going to say next. But Dominic Hartnell's reaction surprised me. He didn't oppose it. To be precise, his reaction was like this. After I finished speaking, he just gave a faint "Hmm". I felt a bit nervous and started preparing to say what I wanted to say next. Then I heard him say another word, "Okay."I started to doubt if I was hallucinating, "Honey, did you just agree?" Dominic Hartnell raised an eyebrow and glanced at me, picking up a mushroom from the boiling pot and putting it in my bowl. I didn't have the mood to eat at the moment; I didn't even look at the bowl. I just exclaimed, "Honey!" Only then did Dominic Hartnell respond, "Hmm, so that you won't be restless because of him." "Although I don't think making a phone call will make any difference, but if you want to try, go ahead." As he spoke, he held my hand, "After making the call, no matter what the result is, you are not allowed to think about this matter anymore." "Everyone has to take responsibility for the decisions they make. Since he chose to get engaged, his happiness or unhappiness has nothing to do with others." "Wife, I don't like you worrying about those unimportant people. I will take care of you." Hearing this, my heart was pounding, but I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Look at what he said, unimportant people... He's actually jealous. But I have to admit that Dominic Hartnell's words make sense. Okay, tomorrow's phone call will be the last time. If it doesn't work out, I have decided not to dwell on this matter anymore. But even though I said that, I couldn't sleep well that night. After all, I still cared. The engagement banquet starts at six o'clock. Shannon said she would go to find Nicholas Scott at four o'clock, and if everything goes well, she will call me at four-thirty. As the time approached, I couldn't help but feel anxious.
