Met An Acquaintance
Pleasing piano music echoed in the restaurant. The atmosphere was so good that Rose became more and more relaxed. She continued to ask Miles more questions.
Miles had an elegant and gentle manner.
In another secluded corner, the steak Jonathan ordered was served in front of him. However, the person he was facing at this time made him instantly lose his appetite. As Rose said, Kelly was disgusting. Thinking of Rose, a smile appeared on his face. His eyes gradually became gentle. The gentleness stirred up Kelly's emotion.
In the gentlest voice, she asked, "Mr. Finch... Can I call you
in this way?"
It was the first time she sat opposite Jonathan. Even though she was asking him, she had made up her mind that one day, she would affectionately call him by his name.
secretly
Nevertheless, Jonathan didn't even raise his eyes, nor did he look at her. Kelly thought about their meeting just now. She was brought here by his assistant, and he had already sat down. From beginning to end, he never looked at her.
The indifference at first, the tenderness just now, and the alienation on his face after she asked the question told her that his tenderness just now was not for her.
If it was not for her, then... She thought of Rose. After confirming her thoughts, she suddenly became crazy with jealousy. Nevertheless, in front of Jonathan, she couldn't show any indecency. This was her chance, she must seize it. She quickly adjusted her mentality.
With the sweetest smile, she raised the wine glass in front of her and said, "Mr. Finch, I want to apologize to you. Rose was injured at Young's House of Jewels that day. She even suffered such a great grievance. If I were there, I would never let that kind of thing happen."
Her tone was extremely sincere. People who didn't know her relationship with Rose would think that they were a pair of sisters with a deep relationship.
Nevertheless, Jonathan knew that the woman in front of him had snatched Rose's former fiance away. She even liked to play tricks.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at her for a moment before lowering his eyes again. He seemed to have no intention of paying attention to her.
If he didn't bother to pay attention to her, why did he meet her? Kelly's mind worked quickly. However, she couldn't see through his thoughts.
She held the wine glass in awkwardness. She could only raise her head and drink the wine in -gulp. The atmosphere went cold for a while.
none
She finally calmed down and said, "Mr. Finch, the Young family and the Finch family are family friends. Grandpa said that he'd change my last name on his birthday. In a few days, his birthday will be held in Aquastead. Will
you
Jull you come?"
Her eyes were eager. However, he answered her with silence. She hit a wall twice, but she seemed to be used to it.
Since Jonathan didn't say anything, she continued, "Over the years, I have grown up with Rose. Although my last name was not Shaffer at first, she's forever my sister in my heart. I'll let Grandpa take good care of Celeste Jewels in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Jonathan sneer. Her face turned slightly red.
"I know that with you here, it's not my turn to take care of Rose's affairs, but I care about her
"Where's your mom?" Jonathan interrupted her as he didn't want to listen to her calling Rose Kelly was slightly startled.
She could hardly hear just now, so she asked again uncertainly, "Mr. Finch, what did you say?" "Your mom is Chelsea, right?"
Jonathan raised his eyes and stared at her.
The cold eyes made her heart tremble as she replied, "Yes. Strictly speaking, she's my adoptive
mother."
Jonathan chuckled.
"You're an affectionate person. You have the heart to take care of your sister, but not your adoptive
mother?"
Kelly couldn't figure out what he meant by his chuckle.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something sad as she said, “My father got involved in an accident. My mother has lived with him for many years and has a deep relationship. After my father passed away, my mother became emotional whenever she saw something related to my father, so I asked her to go out for a trip. When she comes back after a while, I'll naturally be filial to her."
While speaking, she shed a few tears sadly. While watching, the sarcasm in Jonathan's eyes became more intense. Her acting skills came randomly. Chelsea was going out for a trip
Both he and Clover had checked Chelsea's whereabouts, but it was strange that none of them found her whereabouts. She seemed to have disappeared from the world.
The key to the car accident was Chelsea. Finding her would reveal a lot of things. However, she couldn't be found. Hence, he could only look for Kelly
Judging from Kelly's statement, she probably didn't intend to tell anyone about Chelsea's whereabouts. This also confirmed that something was fishy with the car accident.
Not only that, Kelly should be involved. As Jonathan looked away, Kelly seemed to feel relieved. Only then did she know the purpose of Jonathan's meeting with her. His purpose was the car accident. His starting point was probably for Rose. She couldn't help but clench her fists under the table as if
she wished Rose was in her hand.
"Is there any guest who would like to play a piece of music? Today's piano is exclusively from our
master..."
On the stage, before the host had finished speaking, Kelly suddenly said, "Me."
All the guests i
looked over. In those sights, Kelly slowly stood up. She didn't go directly to the piano but stood there. Then, she looked at Jonathan affectionately, as if they were a couple.
"Mr. Finch, wait for her," she said sweetly.
Jonathan frowned. He still had questions for Kelly, but she had walked toward the piano.
"Ha...".
Rose chuckled as she saw the person sitting in front of the piano. She had found the voice familiar just now as it sounded disgusting. It seemed to be Kelly. Was she coming here to eat too? With who? She was a little curious, but from where she and Miles were sitting, they couldn't see the seats on the other side. She would just forget about i
To care about Kelly, it was better to drink with Miles.
"Miles, cheers!"
As she was about to gulp down, Miles stood up and grabbed her wrist.
"What?"
Rose stared at her suspiciously.
Miles said concernedly, "Stop drinking, you'll get drunk. Let's listen to piano music before I take you home."NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
As Kelly's piano music hit her ears, she immediately furrowed her eyebrows.
"What's there to listen at this level?"
