Kent stroked his forehead and said somewhat feebly, “You go downstairs first, I need to change too, it’s not appropriate for you to stay here.”
Blanche nodded confusedly and left the bedroom in a mere blink of an eye.
The moment the door closed, her body pressed against it she couldn’t help but cover her chest to keep the restless agitation from stirring her heart any further.
“It’s okay, it’ll pass, it’ll all pass, just get over it …… and it won’t hurt when you look back on it ……”
Her voice was low and soft, as if she was talking to herself.
But her eyes were incomparably sore, as if tears were about to gush out in the next second ……
The most important thing is that she is the one who should be the most sad, isn’t it? But why ……
The first thing that happened was that Kent looked more distressed than she did.
The familiar silhouette disappeared completely in front of him, and with the sound of the door being closed, Kent couldn’t hold on after all and collapsed helplessly on the bed.
He laughed lowly, a sneer on his face.
So, in the end, it was all his fault ……
The moment Logan Brown told him that maybe Blanche cared about him too, his emotions were on cloud nine, so he couldn’t wait to come back and find out, except that reality was harsh after all.
How can two lovers in this world be as easy as they think they are, and how can it be that easy?
It was all just his obsession.
At the table, Elena Bush bit into her chopsticks, her puzzled eyes glancing back and forth between Kent and Blanche, somehow feeling that the distance between them was growing.
“Uncle ……”
Harvey was the first to resist speaking up, staring earnestly at his face, “Are you not feeling well? Why do you look so pale?”
“Me?” Kent snapped back and smiled at him, “Probably got a little cold from forgetting to cover up last night.”
“Then I’ll have Uncle Jeff come and check you out later!”
“No need.” He refused quickly.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the little one’s little face immediately looked a little dishevelled, as if he had been hurt by his words, leaving him surprisingly unsure of what to say for a moment.
Harvey was silent for a moment, and when he raised his head again he still insisted, “No, Uncle must be afraid of needles, but Mummy said oh, if you don’t feel well you must let the doctor check you out!”
Kent’s face froze and he couldn’t say anything to refute it.
Everyone knew that if you were sick you should go to the doctor, but no one knew …… what to do for a love wound.
Harvey saw that he didn’t say anything, and his little face quickly regained its vigor, “It’s a deal on this matter oh, uncle can’t refuse, you guys eat first, I’ll go call Uncle Jeff!”
“What’s the matter with you?” Logan Brown fished his long hand out and grabbed him back into his seat again, “I’ll be in touch later, you don’t have to worry about that.”
Harvey grimaced in displeasure and looked at him sulkily.
Elena Bush gave another sigh and had to peel his favourite prawns without a word, “Just listen to Daddy on this one, okay?”
As reluctant as he was, Elena Bush had said it and he couldn’t refuse, “Then I’ll say yes for Mummy’s sake!”
Logan Brown watched the little one climb down the steps rather quickly and wondered who he was following.
The little one was comfortable, but Blanche and Kent didn’t look so good. They both glanced at each other, but were surprised to meet each other’s eyes and immediately withdrew in shock, and the awkward atmosphere spread around the table again ……
It was not necessary for Elena Bush to guess, she was almost certain that something had happened between them.
After the meal, while Kent was being dragged out by Harvey to fetch Jeff, she took a seat beside Blanche, who immediately sat up as if she had been startled.
Elena Bush looked over at her with a sarcastic smile, “What are you afraid of? Am I going to eat you?”
“That’s not what I meant.” Blanche immediately shook her head and had to sit back down, “I’m sorry, I got a little excited earlier.”
“You and Kent ……”
Elena Bush watched her reaction carefully and saw that her expression immediately went on alert at the mention of that name, so she guessed what was going on and, no longer hiding anything, said, “Did something happen between you two?”
Blanche squeezed her palms, and when she looked at her again, her eyes rose, “Elena, it was you who told him about me, wasn’t it?”
“Him?”
Elena Bush blinked a little in confusion, clearly not responding to the implication of her words.
Blanche gritted her teeth and mentioned the man’s name again, “Kent.”
Elena Bush frowned before responding with a confused shake of her head, “I didn’t say anything, I went to bed late last night and I’m just up and sitting here today.”
Blanche froze momentarily, looking her up and down carefully, but also thinking that Elena Bush in front of her could not possibly be lying to her.
Could it be that Kent had seen it all for herself? Or was it really that obvious that she was acting that way, and that was why he knew ……
There was a moment of confusion in her head, and even she couldn’t tell exactly which part had gone wrong.
Elena Bush looked at her with a stony face and couldn’t help but follow suit with some concern, “Blanche, is there something going on between you and Kent? Or is it because of me?”
For some reason, that comment from Just now always made her feel a little uneasy.
Blanche snapped back to Elena Bush’s self-conscious look and shook her head and waved her hand, “No, it’s not about you, it’s about me.”
In the end, it was her own delusions of grandeur.
But when you think about it, how could Kent possibly be interested in a woman like her?
The more her thought about it, the more her heart felt like it was being ripped open alive, and it hurt so much I couldn’t breathe ……
“Blanche, is there something you’re hiding in your heart that you’re not telling me?” Elena Bush gripped her hand tightly, a look of tension on her face.
Blanche panicked for a moment and hastily drew back her hand to hide all the emotions on her face.
She forced a smile at her to reassure her, “Elena, you must have misunderstood anyway, and it’s not something I want to bring up again, so …… can you please not even say it again?”
The woman’s voice was choked up to the end, almost inaudible, her hands on her lap trembling incessantly, just like the emotions she couldn’t suppress at the moment ……
