Bella suddenly realized no wonder every time there was crab meat on the table, she ate much, but Kevin didn’t even touch it. It wasn’t because he was afraid of her saliva, but because he didn’t like it.
Finishing the lunch, Bella pointed upstairs and said, “We married in a hurry. I have some things that haven’t been sorted out. I’ll go up first to sort it out.”
Kevin lazily nodded, and when she left, Wilson and Colin began to please him. They flattered him ceaselessly, but he did not listen to them.
“Mom and Dad, Sis asked you guys to come over. She wants to talk to you guys alone.”
Gillian stood at the top of the stairs and looked at them sitting next to the sofa with the gentlest of smiles.
The couple looked at each other meaningfully. Wilson was the first to get up and said, “Kevin, we want to excuse ourselves for a moment. If you want to rest, there are comfortable rooms over there. If you want…”
“I’ll take care of myself. You guys go ahead.”
Kevin waved. As the successful businessman, how could he not see their desire to stammer?
When they went upstairs side by side, Gillian immediately walked up to Kevin and said enthusiastically, “Kevin, isn’t it boring to stay inside? Shall I walk with you to our backyard?”
“Good.”
He walked towards the door vigorously, tall, straight and imposing. Gillian gazed at him in infatuation. Although she had also had many boyfriends, but none of them could be compared to him on family background and appearance.
She had never seen such a good-looking man before. Especially when he was smiling, making her heart leaped.
“Kevin, do you love my sister very much?”
Gillian summoned up courage and asked the question that disturbed her.
Kevin stopped his pace and scrutinized a rare leopard skin flower, changing the topic easily, “Is this transplanted from Bardis Island?”
“Yes. I didn’t expect that you would not only know how to do business, but also quite knowledgeable about flowers and plants.”
“I have very little knowledge about it, but just heard people mention it occasionally.”
As he continued to walk forward, Gillian took a deep breath and finally said, “Actually, I almost became your wife.”
“What?”
Kevin raised his eyebrows, not understanding what she meant.
“I was originally the one who should go to the blind date when you chose your wife. But my mother was so distressed that my sister’s mother died early and she was afraid that people would say that she played favorites. So she let me give this opportunity to my sister.”
“Are you and Bella half-sisters?”
“Yeah, she’s my father’s child with a dancer girl.”
Gillian intended to reveal Bella’s mother as a dancer. In that era, dancer was a very unorthodox profession, equivalent to a whore. She is a daughter born to a whore. Even if she didn’t become a whore in the future, she was also dirty.
As she wished, Kevin’s face fell sharply, not as good as she had expected. His next sentence made her instantly shameful.
“Would you be my wife if you didn’t give away your chance?” He looked her up and down, “Are you confident of your beauty, or of your intelligence, or of your attainment? Wherever your confidence stems from, you’re useless in my eyes. So if it’s not her, it’s definitely not you.”
