Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 691

With her slender arms around his neck, Bonnie looked at Simon affectionately. She sensed that Simon had a crush on her.

"Okay." Instead of pushing Bonnie away, Simon held her waist in his hands.

With a flirtatious smile, Bonnie looked into Simon's eyes. She wanted to say something, but after a second thought, she held her tongue. She was too shy to ask it outright, though she wanted to ask. She was eager to know if Simon wanted to be with her.

Maybe it should have been obvious to her that Simon wouldn't consider starting a new relationship anytime soon.

"Simon, how long have we known each other?" Bonnie's crimson lips quivered, and her breath blew on Simon's face.

"Twenty five years," Simon said with a beaming smile.

"How many periods of twenty-five years can we spend in our lives?

Even if I live to be a hundred years old, it would only be four times.

I've liked you for a long time. My feelings for you have never changed. Simon, would you like to be with me?" With a joyful smile, Bonnie flung her soft body onto his strong chest.

Simon met her eyes. He hadn't known what was in her mind before, but now he was starting to understand.

In fact, Nacy and he had only been acquainted for twenty-five years. Simon liked her ever since the third grade of primary school. His love for her was deep in his bones. No matter what Nacy wanted to do, Simon would give her all his support, even if she really wanted to break up with him one day.

Simon pursed his thin lips and said nothing. A mysterious emotion was emanating from his handsome face.

Not hearing the answer she wanted, Bonnie was quite upset. She pouted, acting like a spoiled child. "Won't you give me an answer? Even if you say no."

Simon hesitated for a while, and there was a trace of hesitation on his lean face. "You know, I just recently got divorced."

Simon emphasized the word "divorced." He wanted to make Bonnie understand that he was a divorced man, not simply a guy who had broken up.

"So what? It's normal for people to get a divorce nowadays. The divorce rate is very high in City A. You are not the only one in this world to get divorced. You've always known about my love for you. Why don't you give me an answer?"

"We are both adults. We should enter our relationships responsibly, and you are no exception. Even if we are going to start, it's not the right time," Simon explained. His fear and uncertainty lingered behind his inscrutable expression.

"But aren't we a perfect match? When we were together, we got along so well. We never fought." Bonnie frowned, feeling worried. She was trying her best to convince Simon.

"Yes..." Simon nodded in agreement. It was indeed true: when he was with Bonnie, he had never quarreled with her. He never thought there was anything worth fighting about, and he didn't really care, anyway.

People were always misbehaving when they were with their loved ones. They tended to lose their tempers in front of their loved ones. The more they loved someone, the more they wanted to occupy that person's heart. They wanted the person to belong to them completely.

In the three years since Nacy and Simon had been married, they had small fights from time to time. Bonnie thought this meant their marriage was having serious problems. But in fact, for them, it was the spice in their relationship. Their bond was strengthened every time they had a quarrel, and these quarrels reminded them that their relationship was really precious.

"I'm willing to wait for you to change your mind," Bonnie said as she eyed Simon affectionately.

But Simon had an expression of distaste on his face. 'I've never loved you, and I'll never do that, ' he thought.

Before Simon could say anything, his secretary knocked on the door and said sweetly, "Mr. Ye."

Bonnie raised her eyebrows and got off Simon's legs. Anyway, she would have plenty of time with Simon later that night, so there was no need to hurry.

"Come in." Simon sat on the sofa, with a perfectly straight face, as if nothing had happened.

The secretary entered the room, holding a thick stack of documents in her hands. The latest bid needed Simon's review and signature.

"See you tonight, Simon."

"Okay, bye." Simon smiled and walked to the desk.

The office was so quiet that there was nothing to hear other than the sound of Simon turning over the pages of the document. Wherever he found an empty spot that needed a signature, he would quickly sign his name.

A photo of Nacy and Simon stood on his desk. In the photo, Nacy was on a beach, barefoot, with a bright smile on her face. Simon was holding her face, kissing her.

The photo was taken when they were on their honeymoon. Time had flown, and three years had passed.

Joshua's birthday party would be held at a top grade resort in the city, called Starry Night Hotel. It was often referred to as the back-garden of City A:

The hotel's exterior design was a transparent crystal ball with a semicircular shape. It was located in the most expensive area of City A. The outer walls of the hotel were completely made of crystal, not glass. In the evening, the crystal ball would sparkle with shifting colors. When people looked up, they could see an endless ocean of stars. That was why the hotel was called "Starry Night Hotel."

Many celebrities and people of high social status were invited to the mayor's birthday party.

The Jin Family members were all on the invitation list, but Daisy didn't enjoy being in such a crowded place. Now she was a grandmother. Although she was still relatively young, she didn't like to attend parties. She would rather play with Adrian at home with Jason, who would also stay home. Nathan and Mandy would attend the party.

Joshua's beloved daughter loved Ethon, so he had also invited all the members of the Yu Family.

Malcolm was in a neat suit. He was in his fifties, but he was still full of energy. His wife, Monica, was wearing a scarlet cheongsam, with a high cut, which complimented her graceful figure perfectly. She was nearly fifty years old, but she still maintained an excellent, curvy figure.

Ethon wore a suit too. He looked handsome in his navy blue suit. Monica herself had prepared his suit for him. Originally, he hadn't intended to come to the boring birthday party. However, when Monica visited the apartment where he and Fiona lived, he had to come with her, leaving Fiona alone in the apartment.
