Chapter 361 A friend I Haven't Seen for A Long Time
James noticed Gloria's emotion changes, and said in consoling manner, "Take your time. You will get your memory back."
Gloria was comforted by his words.
Suddenly, she asked him as if thinking of something, "Where are my former friends?"
It had been a long time after she woke up, but no friend came to see her.
Did she have no friends?
James's expression remained unchanged, and it seemed that he was not surprised that she would ask, "We didn't live together before, so I don't know your friends."
Gloria always felt that she and James weren't that close, so she didn't doubt what he said.
James told her that she had the accident abroad.
When the doctor informed James to go, James only saw her.
And Gloria's phone was also lost. As for other social accounts, she didn't remember the accounts and passwords at all.
Thinking of this, Gloria was a little sad again.
"Don't think so much. Just let it be." James patted her on the shoulder, "Are you hungry? I'll take you out for dinner."
"Okay." Gloria raised her head and smiled at him.
She could tell that her and James didn't love each other that much, but James really wanted to take good care of her.
With her current situation, she couldn't get along with James like his fiancée. She could only take him as a friend first.
This was what she had discussed with James before she was discharged from the hospital.
...
James drove her to a vegetarian restaurant that was not far away from the apartment.
Gloria slept for three years, and her stomach was weak. All functions of her body were still recovering, and her appetite was not very good. Therefore, she'd better eat something vegetarian.
After taking the seat, James said to her, "I have come to this restaurant once before. The dishes here taste good. You may like them."
With that, he passed the menu to her, "You order first. I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay." Gloria took the menu over and read it.
There were a lot of dishes. Gloria wasn't really interested in them, so she read it slowly.
Moreover, she thought the food here was a bit expensive...
At that moment, a group of people walked in outside the restaurant.
"The box or the lobby?"
"The lobby, the box is a bit stuffy..."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Anyway, there are not many people at the moment. Let's eat in the lobby."
As the group spoke, they walked to the table next to Gloria and sat down.
Gloria inadvertently turned her head and glanced at the table beside her. She ran into the sight of a man.
The man looked young, with fair skin and handsome eyebrows. He looked like the kind of man who was particularly attractive to women, dandy and glib.
The clothes he wore were simple, but the quality was excellent. He looked like a dandy from a wealthy family.
When the man's sight was on her, he suddenly widened his eyes, pointed to her and couldn't speak for a long time. He got up and rushed to her.
Because he was too excited, when he got up, he almost knocked over the dining table. The corner of the table rubbed on the ground and made a harsh sound.
"Glor...Gloria... why are you here?" Carl stammered for a while before finally calling her name, "Gloria, why are you here! When did you return to Huyang City?"
A week ago, Carl's mother said that she found a particularly delicious vegetarian restaurant and wanted to bring him here to eat.
He happened to have nothing to do on this day, so he came along.
He came here reluctantly. After all, he had been urged to get married in the past two years. His relatives in the family urged him to find a girlfriend every day. They even wanted him to have a blind date.
But at the time, he was very glad that he came here with them.
When he just sat down and saw Gloria at the next table, he wondered if he had hallucinations.
After all, when the accident happened, he took people to look for her on the island for a long time.
At first, he looked for her for a month. Later, Edith learned about it. She spent all her savings and searched for her for half a year. However, she still couldn't find her.
The island was turned upside down by them, but they couldn't find Gloria at all.
"Do you know me?" Gloria looked at Carl in surprise.
How could she know someone like Carl?
Carl looked like a rich dandy.
Although she had forgotten all about the past, the fact that she thought the dishes were expensive was enough to show that she was born very ordinary and was not living a rich life.
Not to mention the man named Kenny she saw on TV yesterday, even if it was the man in front of her who looked like a rich dandy, he was beyond her reach.
"What...what?" Seeing Gloria look at him with unfamiliar eyes, Carl frowned and said, "I am Carl! What's going on? Don't you know me?"
Only then did Carl notice that Gloria was outrageously thin. She was like recovering from a serious illness, and looked very feeble.
Gloria muttered his name again, "Carl ..."
At this time, James came back.
He stood behind Carl, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Sir, you are too close to her."
When Carl came over before, he was so excited that he held the table with one hand and leaned over to talk to Gloria. From the perspective of others, he was like having trouble with Gloria.
Carl turned to look at James and said sulkily, "Who the hell are you?"
Just now Gloria talked to him like he was a complete stranger, which had already made Carl a little depressed. At the time, a nosy man suddenly popped up. Naturally, Carl would not speak in a good tone either.
James glanced in Gloria's direction, "I am her friend. Who are you?"
"You are her friend? Why don't I know you?" Carl straightened up, folding his arms, and looking at James defiantly.
The corner of James's lips raised slightly, and was not afraid of Carl at all, "What a coincidence. I don't know you either."
"You..." Carl was angered and turned to look at Gloria, "Gloria, where have you been in the past few years?"
"I..." James interrupted Gloria as she was about to speak.
With no expression on his face, James looked towards Carl, "Her stomach is weak. She has to eat when it's time to eat, so if you have something to say, talk about it after dinner?"
Carl frowned deeply and didn't speak.
The two men stared at each other. A deep look appeared in their eyes that only the two of them could understand.
"Okay." Carl turned to Gloria and said, "Gloria, let's find a place to talk after dinner."
Carl returned to his table. His mother asked him, "Carl, who is that girl?"
"A friend I haven't seen for a long time." Carl finished speaking, interrupting her, "Take back what you want to say. It is impossible for her and I to become a couple."
Outside, he was a popular bachelor, but at home, he was an old bachelor that nobody liked.
