Chapter 293

“When she’s not here, just call me Barclay,” he said, giving Nydia a gentle smile.

Damn it! Nydia felt like her ears and eyes were unclean!

This is too disgusting!

How could she have ever thought of Barclay as a gentle neighbor brother before? Did she misunderstand something about him?!

Barclay is just too greasy!

She found Jesse, who was coy with his words and actions, even cuter now.

“Barclay, this is our little secret,” Nydia blinked her eyes, making herself sick.

She knew Barclay had always wanted to flirt with her, but in a non-committal way.

As far as she knew, Barclay was still with his previous secretary, Wente. Wente had wanted to have a child with Barclay, but he was careful not to give her the chance.

“You’re sweating.” Barclay saw Nydia’s forehead sweating and took out a tissue to wipe it for her. Nydia was as if she was facing a great enemy and immediately wanted to avoid him. Just then, Willette came back. “Barclay!”

She ran over and immediately took hold of Barclay’s arm, making it impossible for him to continue wiping Nydia’s sweat. He could only hand the tissue to her. “Wipe your sweat.”

“Thank you, brother-in-law.” After wiping her sweat, she looked at them and said, “When you two get married, I’ll definitely give you a big gift.”

Willette’s eyes lit up. “Nydia, how much are you planning to give?”

“Secret! If I say it now, it won’t be a surprise, right?”

“Nydia, do you remember you said before that you would give us a house when Barclay and I get married?” Willette asked.

Nydia: Damn it! Am I a pig-brained idiot?!

Nydia wanted to curse herself. She must have been stupid and rich back then!

Although her heart was in turmoil, she still had a smile on her face.

“I remember, don’t worry.” I won’t buy it. I’ll let Jesse stop me!

Willette was relieved to hear Nydia’s words. As long as Nydia was willing to spend money on her, everything was fine.

“Okay, you go get ready, otherwise there won’t be enough time. The guests will start arriving one after another around 6 o’clock, and I expect we can start around 6:30.”

“Okay.”

After Nydia left, Willette turned around and hugged Barclay gently, asking, “What did you talk to her about just now that made you so happy?”

“Just some pleasantries. Don’t you want me to get closer to her? What, jealous?”

“Well, you’re so outstanding, of course I’m jealous. I’m afraid you’ll fall for her!”

“Silly, why would I fall for her? If I liked her, I would have liked her a long time ago. Besides, she’s already a mother of two and has slept with Jesse. I don’t have a habit of cheating.”

Hearing these insulting words, Willette was not angry but rather happy.

“I’m going to go out and keep an eye on things. You stay here and behave.”

“I know, I’ll watch Nydia for you.”

In fact, Willette was still worried that Barclay might like Nydia, but when she thought about Jesse’s possessiveness towards Nydia, she felt that Barclay didn’t stand a chance, so it didn’t matter.

On the other side, Nydia had already changed into her evening gown and put on her makeup, leaving only the final step of doing her hair.

The guests had started arriving one after another, as most of them knew each other and were very proactive in striking up conversations, not feeling bored at all.

Barclay went into the dressing room to check on Nydia.

“Barclay, you’re just in time. I’m done with my makeup.” Nydia stood up and walked towards Barclay.

Barclay was stunned.

He felt like he was seeing a fairy, and the most beautiful one at that!

And then!

With a “thump”, Barclay suddenly knelt down.

It was unexpected! Nydia was startled.
