Abbie knew Kent didn’t love her, but she thought she’d made a change, stopped being willful, and that he’d see the new her and come around. But when his desperate words were spoken again, she heard the taste of her heart breaking once more.
It was as if she had been holding her most prized possessions carefully, and he had decided to pick them up and smash them without a second thought!
The feeling …… was unbearable, it hurt, it almost took her breath away.
She looked at him with red eyes, “Kent, why can’t I, why not me?”
How she wished she could get a tiny bit of his gaze, even if …… it was just for a day, an hour, a look that she could look forward to.
But no ……
He was always that cold and unfeeling towards her ……
“Abbie, after all these years, don’t you understand?”
No love is no love, no matter how much you do, the only thing you can’t settle for or force is your feelings ……
Kent looked at her, his gaze icy cold.
Abbie took a deep breath, her eyes growing red, “So it’s true that it’s impossible for me?”
“Yes!” He was certain, “You deserve better, but that person isn’t me.”
He got up and straightened his cufflinks, “I hope that the next time I see you, you’ll have forgotten about me, it’s been three years and it’s time for me to disappear from your world.”
If they didn’t love each other, they would never be together, no matter how much time had passed.
Abbie stood up abruptly as she watched his departing back, “Is it because of Blanche?”
Because she had taken up residence in his heart so that no one could replace it.
“Yes.” He didn’t deny it, “Three years ago I was doubting, but three years later I have proven with time that I am true to this feeling.”
He didn’t know love, or what feelings between a man and a woman were really like.
Once upon a time he didn’t understand everything that went on between Elena Bush and Logan Brown, always finding the idea and practice of them sacrificing themselves for each other laughable, and in his world, no matter what, his own interests should prevail first.
But then he understood, and so he didn’t bother Blanche, nor did he ever give Abbie any hope.
Abbie smiled, not sure if it was desperation or self-deprecation, “I get it.”
“Abbie,” the man turned and looked into the bottom of her eyes, “I know you may not be able to accept this answer, but I have one thing to say anyway.”
Abbie took a deep breath and pushed down her frustration, “Go ahead.”
“Don’t get any funny ideas about her!”
That was his bottom line!
“I knew it.” She laughed to herself, “You’ve never taken the initiative to mention anything to me, and what you do mention now must have something to do with her; I should have known, I should have known.”
But why had it taken her so many years to come to a complete understanding?
Kent saw the tears running down the woman’s cheeks and his face went cold.
He quickly stopped looking at her and left the cafe.
At the same time, Blanche’s car pulled up directly in front of the cafe, the ear-splitting sound of the brakes attracting the attention of many people.
Kent had only glanced at it, but the woman who got out of the car made him look surprised.
How could she be here!
In the blink of an eye, the woman was already walking quickly in front of him.
Kent subconsciously took a step back to look at her, “Blanche?”
“Hmm.”
The small woman responded and grabbed his hand to get into the car.
Kent barely reacted to what was going on here and immediately stopped in his tracks, “How did you find your way here?”
The man didn’t move, it was like a big piece of wood standing there, it wouldn’t budge.
Blanche turned and gritted her teeth, “I located your phone to get here.”
“Locate …….”
Locate?
Kent flipped out his own phone and looked at it, laughing a little, “Why don’t you just give me a call if you need to find me? What’s the point of locating ……”
Nope!
His smirking expression suddenly froze and he gave her a suspicious glance, “You can’t believe you have this?”
Blanche tightened her little face and didn’t answer, “Are you getting in the car or not!”
“What did you come to see me for?”
“I have something to say to you.”
“Hmm?”
“You ……”
The man’s roguishness at the moment made her angry and annoyed, her cheeks flushed an unknown shade of red ……
Kent instantly moved closer to stare at her face carefully as if he had discovered a new world, “Blanche …… So, you can blush too, huh?”
“……”
At those words, the little woman immediately shook off his hand and gave him a sultry glare and immediately turned around and walked away.
Kent reacted and realised that she was having a tantrum and hurriedly chased after her and got into the car as well.
Abbie came out of the café and saw Kent getting into the car and the familiar woman in it.
Blanche’s expression was as cold as ever after three years, and she hadn’t improved at all, but the only difference was that Kent himself had confirmed his feelings ……
Blanche glanced at the windscreen and the familiar figure was in front of her.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Kent, “Is that why you came out here today, to see her?”
“Her?” Kent followed her line of sight past her and nodded, “Yes.”
He didn’t mean to hide it, but Blanche’s sudden change of mood made he feel weak, like he’d done something wrong.
But clearly, it was she herself who had refused him ……
The man lowered his eyes and averted his gaze.
“Kent ……”
Blanche looked sideways at him, her small hand carefully slipping into his wide one, “Do you …… like me? I’m asking, the kind of like between a man and a woman!”
Not an assistant, not a boss, and not a friend!
Kent’s hand stiffened, and his heart couldn’t help but throb slightly as he remembered his answer from the morning.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, half-mocking, What, didn’t you already know that this morning? Do you want to hit me once more now?”
“No!”
She shook her head, a little exasperated to see that he wasn’t looking at her.
So she did what she had never done in her life!
The little woman sulked and leaned over the barrier between the main and passenger seats to turn his face around, and the next second warm lips landed on his thin, cool ones.
The slapdash touch made him pull away before he had a chance to relish it, but the real touch also made his eyes tremble involuntarily.
What was the meaning of this?
He looked at her.
Blanche clenched her lower lip and stared at him word for word, “Kent, I feel the same way you do!”
“I love you ……”
