Chapter 228 To Simulate the Lives after People Get Married


At Gibson's house, on the other side of town.


Stewart was waiting for the call to be answered. But there was only the busy tone coming from the receiver, suggesting that his call couldn't be connected.


He frowned. Putting down his phone, he muttered, puzzled, "Why can't I get through?"


Darryl was sitting on the other side of the sofa. He put down the remote control and asked, "Mother? Didn't she say she went to Aunt Grace's house? How about you ask Uncle Beau?"


Stewart said with a grim face, "You ask him."


Darryl was a bit puzzled. Judging by his father's expression, why did he feel that his father was having trouble with Uncle Beau?


Lydia was beside Darryl. She whispered to her husband, "Last month, Ebs didn't say a word to Dad on her birthday. But she kept talking to Uncle Beau that day. And Dad hasn't said a word to Uncle Beau for a month because of this."


Darryl didn't know this. He felt a bit speechless and helpless, saying, "It's not a big deal. Ebs talked to me that day. She just didn't talk to you guys."


Stewart, "..."


Lydia, "..."


Stewart asked in a cold voice, "What did he say?"


Darryl said, "Uncle Beau said 'make sure to put the marriage registration diploma in a safe place'. And 'that paperwork will be needed for a divorce', 'without that registration paperwork, it will be so hard to get a divorce' something like that... It was weird. Who's going to get a divorce? Is there something wrong with his relationship with Aunt Grace?"


Stewart grunted coldly and immediately gloated, "He deserves it!"


Rosie, the wife of the eldest son of the Vasquez family, came over from the dining room at this time. She held her cell phone and said, "Dad, I got a call from Llo."


The people in the living room all looked at her.


Rosie said, "Llo said that we should send someone over to pick up Mom and Virginia. He said he no longer wants to treat them!"


At 10:00 am.


Lloyd drove Ebony home to get her pajamas.


In the car, Ebony looked at Lloyd's arm and said, "I should drive. You're not fully recovered yet."


The man turned the steering wheel a little. And in the meantime, he turned the sight of his black eyes to look at her for a second. He said in a light voice, "So, you do remember that I have an injury."


Ebony frowned, "What do you mean?"


Lloyd said, "I changed the dressing in the morning by myself."


Ebony stared at Lloyd's side for a moment. Then she nodded and said, "Good, since you can change the dressing of medicine by yourself, you should change it by yourself from now on. Don't come to me again."


Lloyd, "..."


Half an hour later, the two returned to Ebony's small apartment.


Ebony took some clothes out. And then, she turned to Lloyd and asked, "How long am I going to stay at your house? I don't think I need to take a lot of clothes, right?"


Lloyd raised an eyebrow and asked, "You want to leave my house?"


Ebony said, "Uncle Beau and Aunt Grace are nice, but..."


Lloyd asked, "But what? But I'm not nice?"


Ebony glared at him and immediately yelled, "No, you're not nice!"


Lloyd sat on the couch with a hurt look, "I'm not nice. So, you don't care about my gunshot wound."


Ebony's lips twitched, "Stop acting! I'm an actress myself. I can see what you are doing. Besides, when I beat you up this morning, you were very nimble! And you can also change the dressing of your wound by yourself!"


Lloyd whispered, "I want you to do it for me."


Ebony ignored him.


She took two more pieces of underwear out of the closet and tossed them onto the bed for the moment.


Lloyd froze. He looked at the two pieces of underwear. His look changed a little.


Then he turned his head to the side and didn't look any further.


Ebony only packed four or five pieces of clothing. She was still thinking about leaving Lloyd's house when she could. Because, after all, she still didn't want to live in someone else's house for a long time.


At that moment, her cell phone rang.


She looked at the caller ID. It was a staff member from the show The Ghost.


Ebony thought it was the crew coming to confirm the schedule for the next shoot. But when she got through the call, the staff on the other end of the line said that the shoot had been postponed.


After the call ended, Ebony put down her phone and immediately turned Twitter on.


Lloyd walked toward her and asked, "What's going on?"


Ebony pursed her lips and said, "Justin Graham had a car accident."


Lloyd froze.


Ebony got on Twitter and saw that the number one trending topic was "Justin Graham's Car Accident.


She tapped on the link and opened it. But as soon as she got in, the webpage went white. It was because the page view was too huge. The server of Twitter crashed.


Ebony put his phone down and told Lloyd, "He met some stalking fans chasing his car. Those crazy fans ignored the traffic rules and overtook Justin's car. Justin's driver hit the guardrail to avoid them. It said that when the ambulance came, Justin was injured and bleeding. The police have taken away those stalking fans."


Lloyd frowned slightly.


Ebony looked at Lloyd and suddenly asked, "You're so popular. You've never met a stalking fan, right?"


Lloyd started. He looked at her and shook his head, "No."


In fact, he had met stalking fans. But the military department had already dealt with them.


Ebony frowned and said, "It's still too dangerous. I'll drive when we get back later. You shouldn't drive!"


Lloyd laughed a little and said in a low voice, "Okay."


Ebony looked at him in surprise, "You're still laughing? Justin just had a car accident! How can you be so cruel?"


Lloyd, "..."


He wasn't laughing at that.


Ebony sent a message to Justin. Although she didn't know Justin's current situation, she should ask after him since she was acquainted with him.


When they were on the way back, Ebony drove instead.


Lloyd sat in the copilot seat and checked the latest news on his phone.


After a while, he said, "Justin is fine."


Ebony immediately asked, "The news is out? What does it say?"


Lloyd briefly recapped that Justin had multiple bone fractures in his calves and arms, which, luckily, were not too serious and could be fully recovered in a few months with good healing.


Ebony was relieved to hear that. At the same time, she thought to herself, 'It seems that Justin had never been in a car accident in my last life. Why would he suffer from this unexpected accident in this life?'


At that moment, Ebony's cell phone rang again.


She looked at the caller ID. It was a call from Dolores. Ebony pressed the answer button, and turned on the loudspeaker, saying, "Dolores."


Dolores' voice came from the other side of the line, "You know what happened to Justin, right?"


Ebony said, "Yeah, I got a call from the crew."


Dolores said, "They called me too. They said that the recording of the show might have to be postponed. The biggest sealing and trending of the show is Justin. And the advertisers invested in the show because of Justin. After discussion, the production team of the show decided to restart the recording after Justin recovered."


Ebony could understand this arrangement. She answered, "Okay."


Dolores said, "Well, you don't have any work right now. So, why don't you take some time off?"


Ebony immediately said, "No, Dolores, I don't want to take a break. Just help me find a short-term show."


On the other end of the line, Dolores paused for a moment and then said in a subtle tone, "Well, actually, there was another show. It asked for you at the same time as The Ghost. I rejected their invitation. But they have continued to contact me. They sincerely want you to go on that show. And they offer a great deal of money, more than twice as much as The Ghost gave you..."


Ebony's eyes lit up as soon as she heard it. "Yes, of course, I will do it! Why didn't you tell me about this good deal? What else can I say? I'll take it!"


Dolores asked in a hesitant voice, "Are you sure? The show... It's called Love Romance. And it's about three pairs of female and male guests living together as married couples to simulate the lives after people get married. If you are going to take this offer, who will be your ideal husband?"
