The sun slowly sank into the horizon, the sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the manor all lit up in an instant. In the brightly lit restaurant, the housekeeper Nikia brought plates of exquisite meals from the kitchen with his servants.

Jessica Felton directed the servants to place the meals on the table according to her plan.

Tonight is Thanksgiving, Jessica Felton and Ronan spend the first Thanksgiving together, so she has to make some arrangements.

Cranberry moss jam, sweet potato, corn, pumpkin pie, baked golden bread, and a variety of fruits and vegetables.

The essential turkey is still in the oven and will be served at the start of dinner.

These are dinners specially prepared by the kitchen according to Jessica Felton's request.

Of course, Jessica Felton didn't make any meals herself, because she was self-aware that what she made was not poisonous, but few people could eat them.

Nikia brought the servants to serve the meal for the second time.

Jessica Felton sets the dining table in the style of her hometown.

"Fruits and vegetables are placed on the periphery." In order to reduce the troubles of servants, Jessica Felton fully utilized his style of saying and not doing it. He asked the two servants who brought the big pumpkin: "Has the pumpkin been hollowed out?"

The middle-aged maid replied: "It's already empty."

Jessica Felton pointed to the dining table and ordered, "Put the pumpkin in the middle of the dining table." After the two servants put the pumpkin, they said, "Put the dried fruits with shells in the pumpkin. Nikia, where are the candles you prepared? Put one on the pumpkin, and let Ronan light it when the meal starts later."

Nikia came to the dining table with the candle, erected the candle in the pre-stored slot, and asked, "Is this the custom where you are?"

Jessica Felton said: "It's someone from my hometown. Combined with some of the habits in Mexico, it has evolved and passed down for decades. I don't know very well. My parents always set up their dining tables on Thanksgiving."

Although it felt a little strange, Nikia didn't say anything and prepared Thanksgiving dinner exactly as Jessica Felton thought.

Jessica Felton looked at the dining table with satisfaction and asked Nikia: "How long will the turkey be better?"

Nikia said: "It can be brought up anytime."

Jessica Felton asked curiously: "How did Ronan celebrate Thanksgiving before?"

Nikia thought of the beautiful women who had been passers-by and said insincerely: "It's the same as usual."

Jessica Felton didn't ask any more and said, "Come on the turkey, I'll call Ronan."

A few minutes later, Ronan walked into the restaurant with Jessica Felton, and the first thing he saw was the large pumpkin in the center of the dining table.

"I remember Halloween is over." Ronan came to the dining table.

Jessica Felton took out a small and delicate lighter from her pocket, stuffed it into Ronan's hand, and said, "Go and light that candle."

Ronan was confused: "What kind of custom is this?"

He said this, and he lit the candle according to Jessica Felton's words.

Dinner began, Ronan picked up the knife, cut it into dark brown turkey, and carefully sliced ​​it into thin slices for Jessica Felton.

Jessica Felton kept looking at Ronan, showing a charming smile on his beautiful and delicate face.

A smile belonging to happiness and love.

Then, she also picked up the dining knife, cut the bread, pumpkin pie and other meals, and placed it in front of Ronan.

Seeing the chopped turkey in front of him, Jessica Felton said, "Thank you, my dear."

Ronan would smile, take Chinese marinade and pepper and sprinkle it on his plate of turkey, and ask, "Do you want to give it a try?"

As a Southern Californian born and raised, Jessica Felton didn't like these, so he took the cranberry moss jam and said, "This is more suitable for me."

As the taste of catering changes in the region, the difference is huge. Some people’s mouths are super delicious, but others may be extremely poisonous.

This is the simplest and most common phenomenon.

So, Ronan never let Jessica Felton adapt to his tastes. Anyway, he has the conditions, and it is only a piece of cake to make different flavors of meals in the kitchen.

Ronan swallowed the roasted turkey in his mouth, pointed to the candle on the pumpkin lantern, and asked, "Dear, what is this for? Why haven't I seen such a Thanksgiving custom in Southern California?"

"I don't know what to do," Jessica Felton said in truth: "It's basically related to prayer and other things. My hometown will do this on Thanksgiving, but it's limited to the small town where my parents are. Leaving that small town, the customs will be different."

Ronan nodded, saying that he could understand that when he lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, there were too many such situations, such as weddings and funerals that are crucial to a person. Not to mention that there is a difference between cities and cities, sometimes the customs between two neighboring villages are different.

For example, the custom in the south of two villages across the river is to hold a large wedding, and the more extravagant the appointment is.

However, the custom in the north is to hold a large funeral, which costs more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan per funeral.

Many people fall back into poverty due to marriage, and many people fall back into poverty due to funerals.

"What do you think?" Jessica Felton asked.

Luo Nan came back to his senses and asked, "I rarely hear you talk about your parents."

Jessica Felton simply said: "They live in a small town in San Diego and have a great life. I will visit them every two months."

Ronan picked up the cup: "I wish them happiness and good health."

"Thank you." Jessica Felton picked up the cup and touched Ronan.

Ronan did not ask Jessica Felton about his parents anymore. There are many dependents here, and there are also many independents. There are even a large proportion of people who rarely contact their parents after they become adults. There are not many people like Jessica Felton who do not live in the same city as their parents but go to visit their parents at a fixed time.

In the warm atmosphere, the two enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner and then went for a walk in the garden together.

It was completely dark, and it was nice tonight, with the bright moon shining all over the ground.

Walking on the garden path covered with moonlight, there are blooming iris on both sides, and the faint fragrance of flowers keeps coming, which is extremely romantic.

The two of them held hands tightly, and no one spoke to break the rare tranquility and warmth.

They all know very well that it is very difficult to get together and they cherish it very much.

Although mature people lack the desperate impulse when their relationship breaks out, they know better how to get along with each other.

In this world, the more intense the emotions that burst at the beginning, the faster they end.

The sudden ringing of the phone broke the tranquility and warmth between Ronan and Jessica Felton, and the music ringtone spread far away in the empty garden.

Ronan had no choice but to take out his cell phone, glanced at the number, and said, "Tom."

Jessica Felton knows who this Tom is, one of Ronan's best friends - Tom Cruise.

Luo An walked forward a few steps alone before answering the phone: "Hi, Tom, is there anything?"

"It's okay." Tom Cruise didn't sound too emotional: "I'm depressed when I drink and drink, and I want to talk to someone."

Ronan thought that today was Thanksgiving and asked, “Are you alone tonight?”

Although he quit the ranks of lumberjacks, Tom Cruise is still a very active lumberjack. With his fame and ability, it is not difficult to find someone to spend Thanksgiving nights together.

Tom Cruise's voice was low: "I originally had an appointment, but I received a call in the afternoon. Nicole Kidman invited me, my lonely ex-husband, to celebrate Thanksgiving with her and her current husband. I was gone and I turned off the date."

Ronan really didn't know what to say for a moment. In this place of the United States, similar situations are not rare. If the relationship is good enough, it is normal for a couple to invite an ex from one party to visit, but it happens more often in families involving children.

Do Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman really have to be entangled with each other for a lifetime?

"Do you know, Ronan! I'm going crazy, I'm really fed up!" Tom Cruise's voice was not very high, but his speech was very fast: "I'm so disgusted that I want to vomit!"

Ronan could only comfort him: "Calm down, Tom. Be calm, it's useless to be excited."

After a while of silence on the phone, Tom Cruise's voice returned to normal: "I'm not doing well in my whole body. Ronan, I see... No, I just think of it, blonde, fair skin, tall figure, and as long as I think of this kind of woman, I will feel nauseous..."

Ronan could fully understand this reaction. With Nicole Kidman's tireless efforts, Tom Cruise had ex-wife syndrome.

Tom Cruise's questioning sounded in his ears: "Ronan, what should I do? Am I helpless?"

Hearing the continuous questions, Ronan thought about it for a while and said seriously: "Tom, I'll give you a suggestion to save yourself."

"What advice?" asked Tom Cruise.

Ronan said in that very serious tone: "Go and have a date with a black girl."

"Uh..." Tom Cruise over there realized the cold joke, couldn't help laughing, and said, "By the way, what did Will say about the Williams sisters? I don't want to turn off the light and only see the teeth."

Tom Cruise was in a clear mood and said, "Is there anything wrong tonight? How about we go to the bar?"

Ronan said, "You look for Will, I won't be with you."

Tom Cruise understood: "Okay, a good and dedicated man, please accompany your girlfriend."

After hanging up the phone, Ronan put away his cell phone, returned to Jessica Felton, and said, "Are you anxious?"

Jessica Felton shook her head: "It's OK."

Ronan said simply: "Tom is in a bad mood, so I'll talk to him a few more words."

Jessica Felton nodded slightly: "Let's go, let's go back."
