Chapter 286
Hearing this, I was very surprised, because I never thought that Harrison was not confident. From the first time I knew him, I felt that he was powerful and unbreakable.
But Harrison, who should have been like this, admitted in front of me that he was not confident and asked me what would happen...
"Harrison, if you're just trying to make things difficult for me, then I'll pretend that I didn't hear you," I said.
Hearing my answer, Harrison didn't respond at first. Then he chuckled and said, "You think so because you didn't see the other side of me and didn't care about Louie."
"His goodness has nothing to do with me," I said.
Harrison in front of me made me feel that something was wrong, although I couldn't tell what was wrong.
As for the other side of what he said, I don't think I've seen it before. Harrison has always been like this in front of me. He hasn't changed much from what I first saw. If I had to change it, I would have become more human.
And his attitude and feelings for me were also better and stronger than before, but these were all good things, so I didn't feel bad.
Hearing my answer, Harrison shook his head gently and said with a smile, "Chelsea, sometimes you make me unable to distinguish who you are. Should I say that you are innocent or that you have hidden it too deeply?"
After saying this, he looked up at me, leaving me nowhere to run.
"What do you mean by hiding?" I calmed down.
"Trust me easily. If it were an ordinary woman, she wouldn't be able to do it, would she? Even if they were bewitched by me on the surface, I think you should be stronger than ordinary people after experiencing a planned divorce and children's abortion."
When Harrison said this, his eyes never moved away.
I thought I would be angry and sad, but at this moment, I was very calm, and there was no change in my mood. I just said lightly, "Maybe you have forgotten one thing, but I still remember it."
"What's the matter?" he asked.
I took a deep breath and said slowly, "You said you would help me and let me believe you. Even if I didn't believe you at first, I had to believe in you after a series of things."
"Have you ever thought that I don't have any ulterior motives?"
"Don't have other plans?" I chuckled. "If Harrison really had other plans at that time, then I really couldn't figure out what his other plans were. What could I get from him?"
At that time, I had nothing, and I just had a slight improvement in my career. When I attended the annual meeting, I met Callen and Maisy in the back garden. It was an old meeting. They pretended that they didn't see each other, but Maisy didn't think so.
Maisy didn't want to give me a hard time. If Harrison hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape that night.
I looked at Harrison and said blandly, "If you want to say that you have something to do with me, then tell me. Have you got any results after such a long time?"Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Whether there's a result or not, it's still uncertain," he replied.
From the bottom of my heart, I didn't believe Harrison's words at all. On the contrary, I thought that he said so because he had an argument with me about Louie.
I said helplessly, "You and Louie are good friends. Can you give me some time?"
As if he didn't hear me, Harrison went straight upstairs and left.
Just like that, the two of us fell into a very awkward atmosphere. We lay on the same bed every day, and we could still do bed exercise. He would almost send me to work and get off work every day. I thought this was a kind of reconciliation, but it was just a cold war.
Ever since Abbie and Harrison had left the company one after another, the attitude of their colleagues toward me had changed a little. I didn't know if it was because I was too sensitive.
At lunchtime, I refused everyone's invitation and ordered a takeout to eat in the lounge alone. I wanted to stay quietly for a while and think about something, but the door of the lounge was opened before it was quiet for a few minutes.
"I knew you were here." Louie walked in with a smile.
"Why are you here?" I asked in surprise.
"When I was eating, I heard that you didn't come down, so I thought that you definitely didn't go out to stay on it."
After that, he put the bag on the table and said, "This is the food for you. Open it and have a look."
"I just ordered takeout to eat. I really can't eat it." Then I pointed to my belly, indicating that I was full.
In fact, I had no appetite at all. My current situation with Harrison made me exhausted, so I was not in the mood to eat and drink. In the morning, I looked in the mirror and found that my dark circles around my eyes were heavy.
However, Louie acted as if he didn't hear me. He opened the food he brought on the table and pushed it in front of me. "For the sake of my hard work, I'll eat more or less. If I don't let it cool down, I'll throw it away."
"This..." I couldn't finish my sentence.
At this time, any more words were redundant. It was obvious that Louie was good to me. The reason why he brought me food was that he wanted to see if I hadn't eaten anything at noon. If I didn't eat anything, I would have to throw away the food when it got cold, which would waste his kindness.
In the end, I simply called him to eat together and said something to him by the way, "You are working in the company. Won't your family urge you to go back?"
"I'll go back to work in the company. I prefer to experience more when I'm young," he said with a smile.
I smiled and said, "There are so many people who are envious of your life, but you still want to throw away the glory brought by your family. It's not only enviable for you to go out and explore on your own. There's also quarterly."
"What about you? Are you jealous?" he asked.
"Nonsense. How can I not be jealous? If I were you, I would stay at home every day. It would be better to be a layabout."
When I said this, my heart was full of yearning. If I really became a rice worm, how happy would my life be?
Louie shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "It's too simple for you to think about it. Such a family has everyone's responsibility. From the moment we were born, we have to bear the responsibility. We have no chance to be capricious, presumptuous, and degenerate."
"But everyone has their own responsibilities, doesn't it?" I asked back.
"Yes, that's why people are born with no right to be rice worms." Louie said lightly.
The lounge suddenly quieted down, which made people feel very embarrassed. I decided not to say anything more. I lowered my head and continued to eat. As I was eating, I was touched by Louie's index finger.
I was slightly taken aback. For a moment, I forgot to ask why he touched the tip of my nose. As for Louie beside me, he said with a smile, "You look like a little cat who stole something to eat."
"What did you do?" I frowned. As I asked, I stood up and looked at the glass door. I saw that there was a ointment on the tip of my nose. It was the one that Louie had just smeared.
