There was courtesy and alienation in Jocelyn's eyes. Then she said frankly.
“Dr. Warren often goes into the Morrisons, you are not an outsider. But I think it’s better to call you more politely. Our families will not misunderstand, but I’m afraid of the outside people will misunderstand.”
Antony’s face slightly changed. He looked at her spuriously. "You..."
“Antony!”
Before he could finish his words, a crisp voice interrupted him.
Jocelyn consciously pulled her hand back and saw Julia was back. She almost darted to Antony and grabbed his hands. Happiness on her face was about to overflow.
“What are you doing here, Antony? When did you get here? oh, you don’t tell me."
Even there was no those little things in her memory, Jocelyn knew clearly why Julia had always hated her.
She always thought, Julia had thought that her older brother was an excellent man, if he wasn’t disabled, he would never get married with this timid and ordinary woman like Jocelyn. She felt aggrieved for her older brother.
But it seemed this Antony was the main reason.
Only when it came to women’s interests, they would have the greatest hostility and become aggressive.
Julia did like Antony. She had no secrets to express her feelings to him.
But Antony probably liked Jocelyn judging from his attitude. Julia did not necessarily know that, but she might see Antony always took care of Jocelyn, which made her jealous.
“Well, you continue to talk. I will go outside to see why Arthur has not come back yet.”
Jocelyn was clever, she stood up and walked out.
She did not want to make enemies. After all, Julia was the second daughter of the Morrisons. Although she could not be friends, it was not a good thing to be hated under a same roof. All she could do was to stay away from Antony. Even she would took the risk of offending him.
“Antony, I have not seen you for a long time. I call you but you didn’t answer my phone. Every time I went to the hospital to visit you, these interns said you were busy, do you hide from me?”
When Jocelyn just got to the door, she heard this grumble. This Julia was enchanting, she wasn’t that unreasonable woman in front of Antony, which made her shiver.
“Of course not!” Antony embarrassedly stood up and left the position of sofa. "Well, it is late. I have to go, goodbye. Miss Morrison."
“I said I do not like it when you call me Miss Morrison. Just call me Julia.”
“I have to go.” Antony's eyes were chasing the figure at the door. He seemed hurried.
“Antony...”
Julia grabbed his arm in both of her hands. Then she clenched her teeth and said.
“You always know what I’m interested in you. I have been waiting for you all these years. Why do not you just look back at me?”
Hearing it, Antony's face got a little white. He hesitated for a while and finally turned around.
“Miss Morrison, there is something I thought I had made quite clear. You are a girl. I can not say it too directly, but I think you do know it.”
“I do not know!”
Julia’s face turned red. "What did I do wrong? You tell me, I can change it for you. "
“You did nothing wrong.” Antony frowned. "It is just because we are not right for each other."
“Do you have a crush on someone?” Julia continued questioning.
Antony just froze there. He didn’t know why that timid figure in his memory just popped out.
After a moment of meditation, he raised his head and said. "Yes, I have a crush on someone."
Julia's eyes clearly turned red immediately. She stared at Antony for a long time. But Antony still had no intention to change what he just said. He stamped his foot and ran upstairs.
“I hate you!”
Jocelyn was standing outside the yard. But the door was open, she had heard this clearly. Though she had known all the causes and effects and she thought that no normal men could bear Julia’s sticking, she still felt Julia was very poor.
After all, she was quite candid about the relationship now.
After the drama ended, Jocelyn was about to go home. She just met Antony, who came out with the medicine cabinet. She smiled to him politely.
“Is Doctor Warren leaving now? Be careful on the road."
There was a mixture of emotions on Antony’s face. He looked back and said embarrassedly. "Have you heard it? "
Jocelyn shook her head quickly. "I did not hear anything, I did not hear anything."
It was better to save trouble.
Antony frowned. "Why do I think you have changed? "
“What has changed about me?” Jocelyn asked deliberately. "Am I slimmer? Or fatter?"
“Not that." Antony could not explain the reason, but just felt that the current Jocelyn and the former one was totally a different person. "Jocelyn, you have not contacted me since you got out of the jail. I don’t know you have been out until your father fainted and I came to visit you. "
“There is no need to let you know." Jocelyn retreated a step and drew back distance with him. “It’s enough to let my family know that I got out of the jail. There is no need to anyone know that. Thank you for caring."
“What are you afraid of?”
Antony suddenly became unhappy and approached her. "You have not been so polite to me before. Is that someone told you something? "
“Doctor Warren.”
Jocelyn suddenly raised her voice.
Antony froze and stopped his feet.
Jocelyn's eyes were cold with a clear sense of alienation. She said seriously.
“I heard you just talked to Julia. And I think you are a reasonable person, so I did not say too directly. No matter how much care you had given me, it’s just a misunderstanding. Today I will explain clearly. Arthur Morrison is my husband and you are the doctor of the Morrisons. It will never change. That’s it. "
Antony’s warm and moist eyes fluttered, as if he was hurt. “Jo…”
“It is Mrs. Morrison.” Jocelyn corrected him with a serious expression.
“Mrs. Morrison." Antony clenched the medicine cabinet in his hand, the shock on his face gradually disappeared. Only a few self-mockery was left on his face. He said in a low voice. "Yes, Mrs. Turner. I have something else to do, I have to go."
After saying this, Antony quickly turned around and left the courtyard of the Morrisons. Jocelyn could see his disconcertment from his hurried appearance.
Jocelyn was in a mixed mood, but she was finally relieved.
She just about to turn around and go back to the house, she saw there was a figure was behind the thick plane trees. The figure was moving, which made the leaves sweep slightly. She froze there for a while, but didn’t stay too long. Then she went back to the house.
She soon heard servant’s voice from downstairs.
“The young master is back. Have you had dinner yet?”
“...”
It was him.
Jocelyn stood behind the bedroom door and saw the person sitting on the wheelchair in the living room downstairs through the door.
Arthur entered the house after her. He must have heard the conversation between Antony and her. But now, he acted like nothing had happened.
