Elio knew that Millicent liked him. Every time he secretly looked at him, and then pretended that nothing had happened, he would look away. She thought that it was a good cover-up, but in fact, Elio had already discovered it.
However, Elio didn’t expose it. He knew that if he said it, Millicent would definitely blush and hide like a frightened rabbit.
When he got along with Millicent, he was very happy. She was like a spring breeze that silently nourished his heart.
Before you realized it, you had already opened your heart to her, and your feelings for her had grown like a large green bud.
In the past, Elio would still recall things related to Irene from time to time. When did these things gradually become stories between him and Millicent?
When she thought of it inadvertently, a warm and happy smile appeared on her face.
Elio thought that his feelings for Irene were covered with a layer of white gauze. Although he could not see it clearly, he stubbornly believed that Irene was still in his heart.
But when Irene finished speaking, he suddenly pulled off the white veil, only to find that he had inadvertently been occupied by another person.
Looking at Elio, who had not spoken for a long time, Irene sighed helplessly. She had said everything she could. She hoped that Elio could see through her heart.
“Madam, the soup is ready.” The nanny came out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot soup.
Annie felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange, but as a servant, she dared not say anything more. After all, Irene was very generous. It was not easy to find such an easy and profitable job.
“Give him a drink and let Danny send him back. If he drove back like this, I’m afraid that something bad will happen,” Irene said tiredly. Originally, she had been busy with her work during the day and planned to have a good rest at night. However, Elio ruined everything as soon as he arrived.
Looking at Elio’s back, Irene thought, “I hope he can figure it out.”
Elio seemed to be a very safe and smart person, but why didn’t he know it when it came to him? Love was a mistake, so he couldn’t figure it out.
“It seems that I will never be able to escape from a strange law. You like him, and he likes her.”
…
Millicent ran back home, her face full of tears.
Millicent’s parents had been very worried when they saw that their precious daughter had not returned home so late. They could not get through to her. Now that she was back, they all thought that something had happened.
After returning home, Millicent ran to her room and locked the door. No matter how anxious her parents were, they didn’t answer.
Millicent buried herself in the quilt and finally burst into tears.
“Millicent, open the door. What happened? Don’t be too rash. Mom and Dad will be by your side. Let’s talk about it. Don’t do anything stupid.”
Her parents, who were outside the door, were already anxious. When they heard Millicent’s cry, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Their daughter liked to be quiet and educated. She was gentle and decent. She usually paid great attention to her appearance and appearance. She seldom showed such emotions, let alone crying at home.
Something must have happened. Her parents were very distressed, but they were more worried that Millicent would not be able to think straight and do anything stupid.
Millicent couldn’t help but speculate that Irene was Irene’s best friend and that Irene had turned into a villain. Millicent thought stubbornly and didn’t know that she had misunderstood Irene.
Millicent left after hearing Elio’s words, but she didn’t hear Irene’s last words.
But the misunderstanding had been caused. Even if Irene explained it here, Millicent would only think that what she said was just an excuse.
Millicent felt that she was a joke. “So Elio was only dating me for Irene’s sake?”
Fortunately, she regarded Irene as her best friend and would share everything with her. When Irene was in trouble, she didn’t try her best to help her.
Even when Irene was about to leave last time, she also helped to retain her, so that the latter two could solve the misunderstanding and make peace.
But now, this was how Irene repaid her? She treated Irene as her best friend. This had never changed even when Elio had fallen in love with Irene.
However, how did Irene treat her? Although she knew that Elio was with her, she still had an ambiguous relationship with him in the company. Rumors were everywhere among the small employees of the company.
She also saw the scene of the two of them getting along with each other alone many times. They were intimate and affectionate.
To think that she had always used Irene’s good intentions to bring her and Elio together. She was extremely grateful to her and wondered what Irene would think of her as a joke behind her back. She had always been defending her from the bottom of her heart, saying that Irene was not that kind of person.
Irene was obviously that kind of person! On the surface, she was ready to marry Elio, but on the sly, she had an affair with Elio. Not only did Elio not appreciate her, but she also got Elio’s favor. Irene’s good plan made her feel inferior.
Since Edward was missing, Irene couldn’t bear the loneliness anymore. Did she regret taking away Elio?
Irene had a husband and a child, but she was still entangled with her good friend’s man. How could she be shameless?
He kept saying that he loved Edward and never liked Elio. He wanted to wait for Edward to come back. All of this was fake! He was lying!
Only she believed so stupidly and let Elio and Irene continue to get along with each other.
Millicent’s dark side completely broke out. As expected, good people were bullied. She was very kind to Irene, but in the end, Irene did not care about the sisterhood at all.
Millicent hated her for being too naive and stupid in the past. She had been kept in the dark by Irene’s appearance. She hated that she had made such a “good sister” when she was blind!
At this time, a mass of dark clouds gathered in the bottom of Millicent’s eyes, which pressed down heavily, as if a storm was coming. A layer of shadow covered her heart.
Her heart was filled with hatred for Irene. She could not see the little bit of her relationship with Irene. Irene was no longer her friend from now on.
“Elio, I won’t let him go!” Millicent gnashed her teeth and said in her heart.
She had loved someone for so long, so it was impossible for her to give it up so easily.
Millicent looked at the person in the mirror, whose eyes were red and swollen like a walnut. She knew that something was changing.
In the mirror, she seemed to be the original her, not her.
Millicent slowly showed a smile. In the mirror, she also smiled, but the smile looked particularly evil. Compared with the previous Millicent, it was a big smile.
Millicent’s parents, who were anxious at the door, heard that there was no movement in the room. They were ordering the servants to knock on the door.
Millicent opened the door and walked out calmly. There was nothing unusual except for a pair of crying eyes.
Jennifer hugged Millicent, but her heart was still beating fast. “My good daughter, you scared me to death. What happened? Tell me if you have any grievances. I will avenge you.”
Mr. Baker was not as excited as his mother. He was not an emotional person. This was very similar to Millicent’s father, but his relaxed body and expression showed that he was very nervous just now.
He took a long breath and said, “It’s good that you’re fine. Don’t do this next time. Look at how worried your mother is.”
Jennifer rolled her eyes at Mr. Baker, as if he was not the one who was anxious just now.
“Mom and Dad, I’m sorry to let you worry about me,” Millicent said apologetically.
“What on earth happened?” Jennifer asked in confusion. She rarely saw Millicent’s mood fluctuate so much.
“It’s nothing. I quarreled with Elio because of a small thing,” Millicent said lightly.
“A small matter?” Although Jennifer was a little suspicious, could a small matter make Millicent so sad? But when she saw Millicent acting as if nothing had happened, she couldn’t say anything more.
After all, she had noticed her daughter at such an old age. It would not be good if she interfered too much and caused estrangement.
“Have a good rest. Don’t think too much about it. It’s inevitable that there will be people who don’t quarrel between lovers. Back then, your father and I often quarreled with each other. The more you quarrel with each other, the better our relationship will be.” Jennifer comforted her.
“I see. It’s so late. You should rest with Dad.” Millicent lowered her head and didn’t want her mother to see her bitter face.
Jennifer still wanted to say something, but her father stopped her. “Millicent is very tired. Let her rest first.”
After they left, Millicent returned to her room. The hatred in her heart could not be calm for a long time. It was like a fire that wanted to burn everything clean.
Outside the window, the cold moon was as cold as frost. The moonlight shone on the ground and recorded everyone’s sorrow and joy. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
…
After Elio got drunk, his head hurt a little when he woke up. Fortunately, he drank the sober-up soup last night. Otherwise, he would be in even more pain now.
He rubbed his head, and what happened last night gradually came to his mind.
Thinking of what he had said, Elio couldn’t wait to slap him, hoping that he hadn’t woken up from being drunk.
He actually ran to Irene’s house in the middle of the night and said something like that to him.
Elio’s face suddenly darkened. It was true that he had made a slip of the tongue after drinking.
She hadn’t drunk much, so how could she lose control of her body and say so much nonsense? Elio felt extremely regretful. He only hoped that Irene wouldn’t take it to heart. After thinking about it, he decided to make a phone call.
