“I’m going to ask you a question, and you’re going to answer me truthfully.” Skyler’s eyes twinkled like the eyes of a moose, clear and bright.
Stephen smiled, “Okay, you ask, as long as you ask me, I will know everything.”
“Is that S you?” She asked somewhat tentatively, her repeatedly interlaced fingers showing all her inner turmoil and nervousness.
Stephen has always been confident that no one would follow a letter S to find his head, he and Brayden they do not know each other at all, not to mention Dolly, only he knows Dolly unilaterally. The name Stephen, even if it is said, there will not be a person who knows.
He had made all kinds of guesses, but only missed her, she is a long time and his acquaintance, even if once is not familiar, but also know the name, her family and his family is a partner for many years, how can she not know Gale Technologies, now better, to meet Leo when there just happened to meet her, Brayden side has also known the Gale The IP address of Gale Technologies, Skyler based on an S, it is easy to guess that it is him.
Address, Gale Technologies, S, these three points are Skyler connected into a triangle, the middle surrounded by him, Stephen, now she came to ask him if these guesses are right, what should he say it, if he hates her, he can have a lot of ways to avoid her, or even directly not to this appointment, but the key is that he seems to be a little away from her.
Somehow, facing her, he didn’t want to lie, and he asked Skyler rhetorically, “If I told you, if I wanted you to keep it a secret, would you still tell anyone else about this?”
If Stephen hadn’t said that, Skyler thought, she would have told Dolly and Brayden without hesitation, but the point is that Stephen said so, he said, this is a secret between the two of them, can not tell anyone. She was as enchanted to keep this secret for the rest of her life.
She nodded almost without hesitation. Stephen looked at her for a moment, and the trust and determination in her eyes made him drop his guard, and he nodded his acquiescence.
“Why?” Skyler was puzzled, Stephen obviously did not know Dolly, Brayden, Gale Technologies and Kirkland Group never had any interest in the relationship, if he said that he attacked the Mitchell Family’s company is still justifiable, after all, it was her who rejected him, and brought him harm, but what does it have to do with the Brayden family? The family deserves to suffer, but what does it have to do with the Brayden family, and those photos, all Stephen’s work? Could it be that he liked Dolly and wanted to break her up with Brayden?
This conjecture suddenly surfaced in Skyler’s mind, she was almost taken aback by herself, and backtracked to rationalize her thoughts, if so, then everything makes sense, but this reason, how to think how to feel uncomfortable.
She immediately said this doubt, Stephen is drinking water, caught off guard a mouthful of water sprayed on the ground, Skyler hurriedly from the bag to pull out a few toilet paper, while panic to him apologized: “Sorry, sorry, I just casually said, this is just an idea I have, if not right, you do not get angry, and do not mind. ”
“How could I possibly like a married woman with a child, that figure, tsk, tsk, forget it.”
There was a time when he told Jayden that he never understood why Jayden had to hang himself on Dolly’s tree, the outside world is so big, like what kind of girl can not find it, now he understands that all the original do not understand, just because you have not personally experienced it, have not experienced themselves, and how can know the feelings of others inside it.
Although he has been helping Jayden, but Jayden in front of him will rarely take the initiative to mention Dolly, perhaps between men is not as gossipy and curious as between women and women, and he is only now somewhat clear Jayden, he is such a cool and indifferent person, there will be times when he can not control himself, it turns out that all his resentment, are derived from her, the same love, but they Such people do not have any chance to pursue.
Isn’t everyone equal, isn’t love without fault? How is it that some people, from the moment they fall in love, are doomed to have no chance to pursue it?
“I don’t even know who she is how can I like her!” The paper in his hand emitted the fragrance of magnolia, he put down the paper in his hand and said very seriously, “In my life, there is only one marriage contract.”
Many times people speak without thinking too much, completely out of a consciousness, certain things, a sentence you think in your mind more times, in your unconscious time will come out.
It was only after Stephen said that he felt that this sentence was simply a disguised confession, right? He had a lot of contact with women, but was not sure what a true confession, in the true sense of the word, really looked like. All he knew was that the subtext of his statement was as if he was saying to her, “I have only that one marriage contract with you in my life, and you are the only one who is my then unmarried wife.”
And Skyler didn’t react, she was still caught in this circle of ‘Stephen doesn’t like Dolly’, so what was Stephen’s purpose? She was completely unaware of the potential meaning of Stephen’s words just now, her attention was on the first half of his sentence, the latter, she did not notice.
“I know exactly what the purpose is, you will not tell me, so I do not ask, I know that S is you, I already have in mind.” Skyler said with a sense of relief.
“How do you know I won’t tell you?” Still subconsciously the words came out of Stephen’s mouth.
Who knows Skyler’s reaction power is faster than his, she quickly waved her hand: “No no no, you don’t tell me, if you tell me … I definitely can’t keep the secret!”
She was also born in this kind of family full of power and interests, but much cleaner and purer than him, what there will say, unlike him, from childhood to maintain the habit of talking to anyone in the heart of the draft once, afraid to say the wrong word will touch the interests of their own family.
He had thought that people born in such families are all like him, like the gentry, on the surface can call you brother and brother, and you drink at the same time do not know what in the heart to play as intended, how to maximize their own interests.
