Realizing that Rachel seemed to have given up after some hesitation, Locke felt a little regretful in his heart. After all, he was an American sweetheart in the 1990s, and his looks were quite good.

But he is not in a hurry. He will be able to meet him again in a year at most, and then he can find an opportunity to try it out.

Anyway, it would be a long time before Ross and her became boyfriend and girlfriend, and it was not like Rachel had never had a boyfriend before, so he thought Ross wouldn't mind.

After Rachel decided to give up, she still looked over here with some unwillingness, and then suddenly found a familiar face.

"Monica!"

Monica, who was watching Locke and Chandler play and chatting casually, was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look, was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "God, Rachel!"

"Monica!" Rachel stepped forward and hugged Monica grandly, and then "naturally" put the hand with the diamond ring in front of Monica's eyes.

"Oh God, you can't even see where the Titanic hit." Monica, who had been Rachel's attendant for many years when she was a child, praised her very wisely.

With this compliment, Rachel's mood improved. She fiddled with the diamond ring and said with obvious pride in her reserve, "Thank you. His name is Barry and he is a doctor."

"Wow." Monica said knowingly: "It seems that your dream since childhood has really come true. You used to have a doctor father to take care of you, and now you have a doctor fiancé. Maybe you will have a doctor son in the future?"

"Thank you." Rachel was happy in her heart, and then asked Monica: "By the way, how are you? Have you found anyone?"

"Not yet." Monica glanced at Locke and said.

How could Monica ignore such a handsome guy right in front of her, but in her eyes, Locke was Tang Wei's boyfriend.

Although Locke once said that he was not married and would not have a fixed girlfriend, and Tang Wei also said that she didn't care what happened to Locke, she still held back. After all, Locke didn't take the initiative, and the number of times they met each other was not enough. Not much.

Happiness comes from comparison. Seeing that her childhood friends didn't even have boyfriends, Rachel felt a little happy in her heart, but she pretended to be: "Actually, it's nothing."

"I know." Monica was speechless.

After these few words, the air suddenly became quiet, and the two stared at each other for a while, feeling a little embarrassed and not knowing what to say further.

In the end, Monica pointed to the billiard case: "Then I'm going to find my friend."

"That's your friend?" Rachel turned her eyes to Locke. The previous sense of vanity seemed to have dissipated in an instant, and what came to her mind was the 'revelation' just now.

Monica was very familiar with Rachel. Looking at her expression, she teased: "Would you like to introduce me to you guys?"

"No need..." Rachel waved her hand pretending to be reserved.

"That's right." Unexpectedly, Monica changed the topic directly: "After all, you are engaged now, so it is not good to do this."

The hidden meaning in the words made Rachel's face froze, and she made a mental note, wondering why she hadn't seen her so bad before.

On the surface, Rachel still acted very enthusiastic and said: "Listen, next time I come, how about we have lunch together?"

"Okay." Monica also nodded in agreement, looking very happy.

"okay, bye."

Rachel and Monica looked like sisters and parted reluctantly. Finally, they couldn't help but glance at Locke again, and then they joined their two companions and left the bar.

After Rachel left, Monica came to Chandler and Locke and said, "I bet I will never see her again in this life."

"Destiny is very complicated." Locke shrugged.

"Believe me, I know Rachel better than anyone else." Monica said: "We used to be playmates who grew up together, but since she went to college, she has never contacted me again."

"OK, OK." Seeing Monica's affirmative look, Chandler understood that she wanted to have a strong personality and changed the subject in time: "By the way, Locke, when are you going to see your new home."

"It will take about four or five days," Locke said. "I need to go there to clean up in advance, and wait for the Swansons to come over and select a suitable temporary guardian."

"Won't this delay your work in New York?" Monica asked.

"Of course not. It's actually some data-related work. I just need to complete those files and hand them over to the people who need them."

Not wanting to stand out in front of Chandler and the others so as not to create a sense of distance, Locke did not explain his situation in detail.

According to American habits, Chandler and Monica didn't press too much. The three of them chatted for a while before Locke left the bar.

A few days later, Locke and Tang Wei left New York together and drove to Beautiful Town.

The house Locke bought here was not very big, just a single-family villa of over 200 square meters, with two floors, five bedrooms and two bathrooms, a separate cloakroom, a garage and a small swimming pool.

When they arrived at the place, the two of them walked around the new house.

The price of the house itself is not high, but the decoration is very good. Locke spent more than one million US dollars on decoration, which is almost twice the price of the house.

After seeing the house, Alice's face was full of excitement. Her original dream was to own such a beautiful house in the future: "I like the swimming pool in the backyard. I can go back to New York a few days later."

Locke rolled his eyes: "It's just an area of ​​5 by 5. Fortunately, it can be heated. If you like it, you can take a dip now."

After the house was bought, it had an overall framework. Locke hired a designer to specially design the layout and decoration. The swimming pool was not designed to be large because he had no special preference for swimming.

Of course, this kind of villa is mainly about home comfort. The style is not strong, just practical.

Tang Wei's eyes lit up. He first found the switch to heat the swimming pool, and then placed the belongings he brought in the room. He couldn't wait to experience the swimming pool in the backyard.

Shaking his head, Locke said to Tang Wei: "Don't worry, at least put on your swimsuit first."

While Tang Wei excitedly started trying the temperature-controlled swimming pool, Locke started preparing dinner with the ingredients he brought.

Since today was the first day of check-in, Locke felt that there was still a need to have a bit of a romantic atmosphere, so he chose a bottle of red wine and prepared steak.

The hired servant will not arrive until tomorrow. Tang Wei is busy enjoying the small swimming pool in the backyard. Dinner is prepared by Locke.

Frying steak is not a difficult job, and even with his intermediate experience level almost at the end of his cooking skills, Locke's steak tastes very good.

When I came to the backyard with red wine and steak, I saw Tang Wei sitting on the steps under the water. This was specially designed so that you can enjoy the fun of taking a bath.

This swimming pool is not big, so you can feel comfortable turning around in it, but you can end it just by kicking your legs. The key is that you can lie in it like taking a bath, and you can see the stars in the sky when you look up.

Putting the red wine and steak on the tray by the pool, Locke said to Tang Wei, "Okay, come over and eat first."

The tray is a folded curved wooden board that can be opened just enough for a person to sit there and reach the food and drinks on the tray.

Tang Wei rarely enjoyed Locke's service, and her face was full of happiness: "I didn't expect it to be like this, you really enjoy it."

Locke smiled and sat in the warm pool water, looked at the sky to the west, and chatted casually with Tang Wei.

She is also very busy these days. The position Locke gave her is an assistant, but these days, she is studying with Ms. Mora, the current manager of Sky Fund Company.

After being busy during the day, I had to deal with Locke who was full of energy at night, so he slept deeply every night.

Now I finally have the opportunity to relax, eat steak casually, drink red wine every sip, and chat with Locke. I feel that such a day is really pleasant and beautiful.
