Only then did Florence realize that the reason why Bonnie didn’t turn around and looked so alienated was that she was afraid that she couldn’t control her emotions and would show a sad look.
She was hiding and holding on.
Florence looked at her sympathetically and guessed something.
She put her hand on Bonnie’s shoulder and said gently, “Bonnie, we are friends. We can tell each other everything when we are sad, and I can comfort you when you are sad. Don’t hold it back. You can tell me if you are unhappy.”
Bonnie’s body stiffened and her eyes turned red.
She sniffed, turned her head and looked at Florence with sparkling eyes.
“Do you really treat me as a friend?”
During this period of time, Hector broke the tradition, which also brought a lot of other things in the outside world.
For example, close friends.
Bonnie had lived in this courtyard since she was a child. She had neither friends nor besties. It was also because of the time she had spent with Florence that she had become close friends with her.
But deep in her heart, she didn’t deserve to be a friend of Florence. She was just accompanying and protecting Florence because of the order of Ernest.
She was more like a servant.
Florence looked at Bonnie with concern and nodded earnestly.
“You are my friend, a good friend.”
His words were like a hammer, destroying all the defense lines in Bonnie’s heart.
Bonnie burst into tears and threw herself into Florence’s arms.
“Florence, I’m so uncomfortable, as if my chest was about to explode.”
These days, day and night, she seemed to live in hell.
She had no idea that there was such pain in the world that made life worse than death.
Florence patted Bonnie on the shoulder to comfort her.
As she expected, Bonnie was so sad that she almost broke down. That was why this little girl suddenly changed her temperament and was so depressed.
“What’s wrong? Tell me. Then you won’t feel so bad.”
Florence didn’t ask until Bonnie cried for a long time and wanted to find a right way to help her.
In fact, sometimes, she couldn’t help her at all.
But accompanying her was also a kind of comfort. At least, it could make Bonnie feel a little better.
She would get through it.
Friends were not necessarily able to solve problems, but when they were sad, they were the best comfort and companionship.
Florence was willing to be Bonnie’s friend.
Bonnie choked with sobs and her eyes were red. “I… I don’t know. I just feel very uncomfortable, as if I’m going to die. I… I don’t know what to do. When I think of Duke Hector, my heart is about to explode. But I can’t help missing him, but I can’t help worrying about him. I can’t help… ”
The more she said, the more Bonnie cried.
Florence looked at her, feeling sorry for her. She loved him so much that she didn’t realize it. And that day when Hector left resolutely, Bonnie was also hurt.
Patting Bonnie’s back gently, Florence asked in a soft voice, “Since you feel so uncomfortable, why don’t you go to see him?”
During this period of time, she also noticed the interaction between Bonnie and Hector.
It could be seen that Hector also had some feelings for Bonnie, or else he wouldn’t have let her take care of him intimately.
Bonnie shook her head with tears in her eyes. “He said he didn’t want to see me anymore and asked me not to appear in front of him again.”
Florence was stunned. She didn’t expect that.
Hector must be mad. He vented his anger on Bonnie. No wonder the little girl was so sad.
This was simply a one-sided refusal.
It made people have no hope at all.
But…
Florence looked at Bonnie with burning eyes. “Why did he say that to you?”
According to Hector’s character, even if he left like that, he wouldn’t vent his anger on Bonnie and say such hurtful words to Bonnie for no reason.
“He, he… Because I said I loved him, he hated me very much and thought I was lying to him. So…”
Bonnie choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face.
Hearing this, Florence couldn’t help laughing.
Lookers on see more than players.
The reason why Hector said that was that he cared about her.
Only when he treated Bonnie differently unconsciously would he care about what she said.
At that time, Hector felt that he was cheated and doubted about his life. Bonnie said she loved him. He was moved, but more importantly, he didn’t believe and doubted her.
Instinctively, he was afraid of being cheated and hurt again, so he was angry and said that he would never see Bonnie again in his life.
In fact, this was simply an escape.
Hector was escaping his feelings for Bonnie. He thought he loved Florence, but he had fallen in love with Bonnie long ago.
But he didn’t know.
Looking at Bonnie’s tearful face, Florence felt relieved. She didn’t mean to be heartless. Now that Bonnie and Hector liked each other, they should be together as soon as possible.
Florence said to Bonnie seriously, “Bonnie, if you are really worried about Hector, you shouldn’t have hidden yourself at home and been unhappy. You should have gone to find him.”
Bonnie looked at Florence in surprise, feeling that this theory was really unreasonable.
“Duke Hector has said that he doesn’t want to see me anymore. How can I go to see him? Even if I go, he won’t see me.”
“So you just give up?”
Florence looked at Bonnie with burning eyes. “You gave up so easily, which means that your care for him is fake.”
“No!” Bonnie retorted excitedly, “I’m really worried about him. I’d rather be the one who is sad now than see him sad.”
“It’s easy to say. Everyone can say that. If you really care about Hector, you should be with him when he is sad. What he needs most now is companionship.”
Bonnie’s eyes twinkled. She stared at Florence blankly, forgetting to shed tears.
To accompany Duke Hector?
Could she…
“Bonnie, that’s all I want to say. It’s up to you.”
Florence said meaningfully, “at least I know that Ernest and I are like this. As long as he needs me, even if he insists on me leaving, even if I am shameless, I must stay with him shamelessly. Because I know he actually needs me.”
