"What?"
Alice looked up blinking curiously at Helen.
Helen said, "Donnie's last marriage will definitely be with either you or me, one of the two choices; I just don't know who he will choose!"
Alice continued to blink and asked Helen, "This doesn't sound like the Helen I know. How could you possibly allow such a thing to happen?"
Helen shook her head, her eyes also showing some confusion, and said, "I don't know either. In fact, I've fantasized many times about what my future husband might be like, but I never imagined it would be someone like Donnie!"
Alice, attracted by Helen's subject, no longer felt sad about her own situation and continued to inquire.
"When did you start liking Donnie? Was it the time when Donnie protected us?"
Helen said, "That incident definitely played a part, but it wasn't everything. That incident just accelerated my fondness for him, but it wasn't what made me truly like Donnie, or even willing to accept the current situation for Donnie!"
