Abbott Benson scanned the caller above, slid his finger over it, and hung up.
Cecilia Glendon watched his movements with some dismay.
Whose call was it, and he just hung up?
She stole a glance at Abbott Benson, but found that the expression on his face looked like it was frozen, very cold. Especially the eyes, so cold that Cecilia Glendon did not dare to look at them.
She couldn’t help but start guessing who the caller was just now.
After thinking for a while without an answer, it so happened that the phone rang again.
Cecilia Glendon saw that Abbott Benson was about to hang up again, and she was busy speaking out, “If you don’t answer, he’ll probably keep calling.”
Abbott Benson glanced at her, and the frost inside his eyes had a hint of movement.
Just as Cecilia Glendon he was still about to choose to hang up, he picked the phone up, picked it up, and put it to his ear.
He didn’t make a sound, but Cecilia Glendon did hear a voice on the other end of the line, couldn’t hear what was said, but could tell it was a male voice.
After an unknown amount of time, Abbott Benson finally spoke up.
“I’m hanging up.”
Very simple three words, and then hung up, by hand also turned off the phone, the phone directly to the table.
Cecilia Glendon watched him that series of actions, some want to laugh, no matter who the opposite caller is, encounter Abbott Benson this temper, probably to spit blood in anger.
Seeing that he seems to be still angry now, Cecilia Glendon also does not want to rush up to the gun, so very quietly drink their own water, and did not say anything.
Soon, the meal was finally served, and Cecilia Glendon wiped her hands with a wet wipe, and was about to start when she noticed that Abbott Benson was still frowning and not moving.
“Aren’t you going to eat?” Cecilia Glendon couldn’t resist speaking up.
It took Abbott Benson a moment to hear her voice before he looked over at her and then pushed the plate in front of him toward Cecilia Glendon: “You eat.”
Cecilia Glendon: “…” She is not a pig, how can she eat for two in one meal?
“Aren’t you hungry?” Cecilia Glendon pushed the plate back again, “Hurry up and eat.”
Abbott Benson still didn’t move and pushed it back to her as is: “You eat.”
Cecilia Glendon couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “I can’t eat two servings.”
“Then eat as much as you can.” Abbott Benson said.
It looks like he is determined not to touch this meal.
Cecilia Glendon looked at the meat and veggies, it’s quite good, why doesn’t he eat it?
Since he wasn’t eating, Cecilia Glendon didn’t mind and picked up a spoon and started eating her own meal.
As she ate, Abbott Benson watched her with his arms around her, but his mind kept thinking about other things.
That phone call just now was from Benson senior.
Abbott Benson came back from Greenwich and went to see Benson senior to get a marriage license from him so he could get a divorce, but naturally he was refused, so he left the hotel and came to Cecilia Glendon.
Benson old man in the phone call the general meaning is to scold him for a woman even their children do not want, but also said Cecilia Glendon long hooked up with Smith’s son, he said Cecilia Glendon is not at all as good as he saw, Cecilia Glendon and Smith’s son has long been unclear This time, the lawsuit Smith also want to intervene.
Abbott Benson did not know who Smith’s male son was, but earlier in the elevator, Cecilia Glendon said very clearly live, do not need his help, she said she had a solution.
Is her solution to seek help from Smith’s?
Looking at Cecilia Glendon’s serious eating, Abbott Benson wanted to ask a few times, but the words came to his lips and he held them all back.
In the end, he is not qualified or in a position to ask Cecilia Glendon that question right now.
“I’m done eating.” Just as Abbott Benson was lost in thought, Cecilia Glendon had put down her utensils and wiped the corner of her mouth with a paper towel, “Are you sure you don’t want to eat?”
Abbott Benson shook his head, “Are you full?”
“Satiated.” Cecilia Glendon nods, then calls the waiter intent on paying the bill.
But she looked down to take out the money in the interval, Abbott Benson has lowered the card to the waiter.
“Eh …” Cecilia Glendon was busy stopping it, “I’ll pay for it myself.”
Abbott Benson swept her off her feet, “You think I can’t afford a meal?”
Cecilia Glendon was speechless and didn’t dare to say anything else, so she watched him pay.
After paying, the two walked out of the restaurant side by side, and once outside, it was already dark outside.
Cecilia Glendon looks at her wristwatch, it’s almost eight o’clock.
She was so busy working for so long that she forgot Steven Glendon was still being taken by Jane Xue. She was busy taking out her cell phone and calling Jane Xue.
“You finally remembered me.” Jane Xue teased after answering the phone.
Cecilia Glendon smiled shyly: “Sorry, I was too busy to forget.
“Already back, Steven is at my house, are you done?” Jane Xue asked with a smile.
“It’s over, it’s over, I’m coming over to get him.” Cecilia Glendon said.
“Slow down, don’t rush, he’s watching TV now.” Jane Xue said.
“Good.” Cecilia Glendon answered and then hung up the phone.
She turned to Abbott Benson beside her and said, “I have to go pick up Steven, let’s split up here.”
At this late hour, the work will have to be done tomorrow.
But the thought that tomorrow … is the deadline given by Benson senior made Cecilia Glendon’s heart a little heavier.
“Go over together.” Abbott Benson said.
“What?” Cecilia Glendon thought she had misheard and looked at him with some surprise.
“I’ll drive you there.” Abbott Benson pulled out his car keys.
Cecilia Glendon shook her head decisively, “No.”
“Why?” Abbott Benson frowned.
Why? Because Steven Glendon wouldn’t want to see him, of course.
But such words Cecilia Glendon in front of him can not really say, only to say: “so late, you look very tired, or go back to rest early, I picked up Steven and go back.”
“You’re concerned about me?”
Cecilia Glendon: “…”
Could his brain circuit be any clearer?
“Just go back.” Cecilia Glendon couldn’t talk to him, so she just waved her hand and walked toward her car.
She thought Abbott Benson would catch up with her, but after walking a long way without hearing Abbott Benson’s voice, she couldn’t help but be curious and stopped to look back at him.
Abbott Benson is still standing in the same place, tall but a little thin, white shirt in his body hard more than a touch of ascetic sense, orange light, he is like a knife carved features look handsome and elegant, he stood backlit, Cecilia Glendon can not see his eyes, but as if from the shadow part can feel it, his face must be floating a faint sadness at the moment Cecilia Glendon could not see his eyes, but it was as if she could feel from the shadows that his face must be floating with a light sadness.
Abbott Benson is much thinner than he was five years ago.
Cecilia Glendon felt it when she was measuring him before, his size five years ago Cecilia Glendon remembered it perfectly, now it has all changed.
He must have been very busy and didn’t eat properly to become like this.
Somehow, Cecilia Glendon felt a bit sorry for him.
“Do you … want to go to my house for dinner?” Her voice took on a bit of huskiness in the night, as well as bitterness.
