A guilty conscience?
The smile on Reuben’s face was slow for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, he stopped a passing maid and asked her coldly, -I ask you, where did the young lady go all day?
After the maid was stopped, she looked a little confused. She thought about it and shook her head, -Mr. Ruben, I don’t know where the señorita went today. I only know that she was very well dressed when she went out and she was in a good mood. It was the same when she came back.
It didn’t sound strange at all.
But if nothing was wrong, why did she feel guilty when she saw him? After saying a few words, did she run back into the room?
There should be something wrong, Ruben’s face became serious, he waved his hand to the person in front of him and the maid left.
Ruben stood there for a while and then went upstairs.
Zoe sat down in front of the vanity mirror to remove her makeup, preparing to go take a bath, but when she heard someone knocking at the door, she said impatiently, -Who?
-Zoe, it’s me.
Zoe’s voice sounded outside the door, and Zoe’s expression immediately changed, -Ruben? Why did you come at this time?
-Is it convenient for me to come in?
-No, no!” shouted Zoe in panic, then nervously grabbed a comb and shook her head vigorously.
She couldn’t let her Reuben in. If he knew she had gone looking for Kennedy, he would definitely reproach her again. She had planned a lot of things. What would happen with Ruben’s intervention?
Ruben, standing outside the door, frowned even more as he heard the tension and confusion in her words.
It seemed her guess was correct, her thin lips pressed tightly together, her gaze gradually growing colder.
Why was her sister always so disobedient, what magical power did Kennedy have to fascinate her so? Reuben sneered, -Why won’t you let me in, do you have a guilty conscience?
Zoe said, -I’m going to take a bath.
In the next second, Ruben kicked the door straight open. The sudden movement made Zoe stand up from her chair and look at him in astonishment.
-Ruben…
Ruben looked at her. She had removed half of her makeup and wasn’t ready to shower. Seeing him come in, Zoe panicked.
-What are you doing in such a panic? -Ruben stared at her and walked towards her slowly, “Aren’t you going to take a bath? What’s wrong with you? Haven’t you taken off your makeup yet? Do you need me to help you?
-Don’t come over here! -Zoe suddenly threw the comb in her hand towards Ruben!
The comb was such a beautiful and exquisite girl’s comb, with many sparkling diamonds on it. Although it wasn’t heavy enough to kill someone, it could still cause a lot of pain when it hit the body.
With a bang, the comb hit Ruben’s face.
Ruben snorted in pain, his handsome face was expressionless, but those foxy eyes that usually smiled had a hint of disappointment in that moment, he raised his hand to cover himself, looking at Zoe with a wry smile.
-Am I so terrible, can’t I talk to you?
The bitter smile on his face made Zoe a little uncomfortable, but when she thought of him coming into the room to stop her, her eyes immediately turned red, she grabbed something else from the dresser, whatever it was.
-I don’t want to talk to you, get out!
Ruben’s gaze turned colder, -Zoe, I’m your Ruben and we’re related. I can’t let you do things that hurt people.
-No! I didn’t hurt anyone at all, I just fell in love with someone, what’s my fault? Ruben, you are my Ruben. Support me, please. I beg you. I just like him, I don’t want to hurt anyone else.
Ruben shook his head helplessly, looking into her eyes full of disappointment.
-You’re not hurting anyone else? You approached him by taking advantage of his amnesia. He didn’t want to be committed to you, but you still forced him to stay with you. Isn’t this hurting? What is? Zoe, loving feelings are not possessions, even if one day you really get it, you won’t be happy at all.
Zoe shook her head and muttered like crazy, -No, as long as I stay with him, I’ll be happy. Ruben, you don’t care about me anymore. No matter what I do in the future, I’ll be responsible for it. No matter what the end is, I won’t regret it.
He didn’t know if it was Ruben’s delusion, he always felt that his sister’s behavior now seemed like a mental disorder, and he frowned deeply.
What was going on with this girl, was it because she was so eager to get it, then was she mentally disturbed?
Ruben thought about whether he needed to take her to see a psychologist.
Thinking about this, he quickly made a decision, -I can’t watch you behave like this. Tomorrow I will take you to see a psychologist.
Psychologist?
Hearing this word, Zoe gradually opened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
-Ruben, do you think I have a mental problem?
-Look in the mirror to see how you are now, how are you different from a mental disorder? -said Ruben.
Zoe obediently turned her head and looked in the mirror. Her eyes were enlarged, her makeup was half removed and her eyes were full of red blood. She held the makeup remover tightly in her hand and looked like a crazy woman.
She was so scared that she threw the bottle she was holding and took a step back.
-Did you see that? Are you scared too the way you are. Zoe, while you still don’t let everyone know this thing, stop going on. Don’t use your dignity and self-esteem to let others humiliate you. Now, can’t you find an excellent man in such a big world?
However, no matter what Reuben said later, Zoe did not answer him again. When she wanted to come closer, Zoe said quietly, -Ruben, come out, I want to be alone.
-Zoe,” said Ruben.
-If you don’t come out, I will die in front of you.
She grabbed a fragment and brought it close to her white neck, looking at Ruben faintly.
Ruben was speechless.
-Come out!
-Okay, don’t be impulsive, I’ll come out now, don’t be silly, Zoe,” said Ruben.
After speaking, he looked deeply at her, then turned and left the room, closing the door on her.
Ruben stood in the doorway, stroked the sweat from his forehead and looked back at the closed door.
When had his sister ever turned like that? If only he had suspected her of having a little mental problem before, now Ruben was almost certain that his sister really did have a mental problem.
What should he do next?
