Chapter 475 A Sign of Weakness in Disguise.
Kenny was obviously irritated by Gloria's tone, although the candlelight was a little dim, the two were so close, so Gloria could still clearly see Kenny's sudden change of his expression.
The two of them just stared at each other for a while.
Kenny took a step back and was the first to speak, "Because of Tina. "
Gloria was so angry that she laughed out, "Tina is still young, you can find her a gentle, kind and beautiful stepmother again, and you don't like me anyway, so let me live alone. In that way, I don't have to go back strive for Tina's custody from you."
Kenny did not speak immediately, and the room fell quiet again.
Gloria had just spoken as quickly as she could, and now she was apprehensive.
Kenny suddenly blew out the candle, making Gloria unable to see Kenny's face in the darkness, but she could feel the low pressure emanating from his body. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
In the next second, his voice came from the darkness, "Gloria, I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words. "
Gloria clenched her fists, pursed her lips and said, "...I'm hungry."
The lack of a direct response to Kenny question is a sign of weakness in disguise.
Kenny did not speak again, turned around and walked outside.
Gloria then immediately followed up.
Kenny seemed to have a so good night vision that he could even walk as fast as he did in the daytime and Gloria could only try her best to walk behind him, the distance between them so long.
When going down the stairs, she almost missed her step.
"Ah-"
Her scream had only just left her mouth when she felt an arm reach out towards her and encircle her waist.
Gloria subconsciously grabbed Kenny's arm tightly.
Kenny didn't shake her off, so he took her to the downstairs in that gesture.
There was an old wooden table downstairs on which there were a candle, a cat and some dishes. The old man was holding a piece of meat in front of the cat, and was watching the cat eat the meat with a gentle smile.
The old man saw that Kenny brought Gloria down, the smile on his face became warmer, "You must be so hungry. Just hurry up and eat dinner."
After Gloria and Kenny sat down, the old man asked her with a concerned face, "Has the fever gone down? "
Gloria smiled slightly and said, "I'm feeling much better now, thank you uncle for taking me in. "
"You are welcome, I am glad to hear that you are well." The old man also smiled and reached out to give Gloria a piece of meat, "Eat some meat, I think you need some nutrition."
Three dishes were on the table, one of which seemed to be green vegetables, another was sliced meat and fried potatoes, and another seemed to be kimchi.
A very simple home-cooked meal.
Gloria lowered her mouth to pick up the rice and found it to be bacon.
The old man saw her take a big bite and said in a gentle tone, "Are you used to eating it? I don't have anything else in our countryside place, and just these vegetables and bacon. "
Gloria nodded, "It's delicious."
It had been kind of him to be willing to take them in, and now he even entertained them to eat, so of course Gloria was so grateful, and how could she be picky at this time?
Gloria had been used to it, and then she turned to look at Kenny.
Kenny was eating the dinner calmly just like what he used to be when eating dinner at home.
She was somewhat surprised because she hadn't thought that such a picky man could also be used to living here.
The old people loved to talk when having meals.
Gloria accompanied him to chat from time to time, and also knew the basic situation of the old man.
His wife had passed away more than ten years ago, and all the children in the family also went to the big city, so he had been living alone in the mountains.
After the meal, Gloria was about to wash the dishes, but the old man wouldn't let her do it.
Gloria had no way, so she patted Kenny, "You go to wash."
She had argued with Kenny, so she thought that he would refuse. But he just went to wash the bowls immediately.
The old man saw Kenny washing the dishes, but he didn't stop him from doing so.
When Kenny went to the kitchen, the old man said to Gloria with a smile on his face, "You guys are so close, just like me and my wife back then."
Gloria was stunned and said, "...Really? "
She just did't know how the old man could tell that she was in a good relationship with Kenny.
The old man just smiled at her after saying that, and didn't say anything more, and then he started to play with the cat again.
Gloria got up and went to the kitchen.
The kitchen in the countryside was also very poor, because people here had to cook by burning wood, there was dust on the floor of the kitchen, and there was also dust accumulated on the beams.
Gloria was a little surprised, she did not expect Kenny could still stand in front of the kitchen table to wash dishes with ease, which made Gloria almost wonder if Kenny was a new person.
After all, he is the young master of a rich and famous family who grew up in brocade and jade. In the past, when she invited him to dinner, he would feel like she had wronged him if the restaurant he went to was ordinary.
Gloria walked up to him and said, "I'll wash it."
"Stand away." Kenny spoke, but the movement in his hands did not stop.
He took a rag and very patiently wiped the dishes one by one, looking no different from how he usually handled his work, without a trace of reluctance or disgust in his appearance.
Gloria stood by the side, watching Kenny patiently wash the dishes, and then wipe them clean and put them back.
After he put the last bowl back, he walked over to Gloria, reached out and touched her forehead, then touched his own, then frowned slightly.
It was still a little hot.
Testing forehead body temperature was actually a very intimate gesture.
For a moment, Gloria felt that the former Kenny had returned.
Kenny that went to get half a basin of water and said, "Take it upstairs later and used it and towel to cool down yourself. "
No concern could be heard in his tone, but Gloria was already very contented.
She nodded, "Yeah."
........
After a quick wash, Gloria carried the half basin of water upstairs, put the towel in the water she had applied herself before, and lay down on the bed to reapply it to her forehead.
She closed her eyes to think about things.
There wasn't much room in this old man's house, and Kenny would either sleep with her or with the old man tonight.
She thought that Kenny would prefer to sleep with her.
With this thought, she fell asleep in a daze.
Suddenly, Gloria felt someone taking the towel on her forehead, so she opened her eyes and saw that Kenny was sitting on the edge of the bed to take away the towel on her forehead, turned to the basin to
soak it in, wring out the water and bring it over to fold and reapply it on Gloria's forehead.
It is only then that Gloria discovered that the room was very bright, and followed the light to look over, and found that it was the mobile phone flashlight that was turned on by Kenny.
The phone couldnn't make phone calls, but it could still illuminate.
She tilted her head and it became hard for Kenny to apply the towel, so he whispered, "Do not move. "
Gloria didn not move after straightening her head.
When the towel was put on, Kenny went to get his phone.
Gloria asked, "When is it now? Where did you go just now? "
