My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 212 You’re the Only One I Had

She ate a little too much tonight. Now, she vomited badly and the smell was foul.

She couldn’t smell it, but Kenny Clarke could.

He just frowned slightly. When she finished throwing up, he took a paper towel and wiped it up for her. Then, he took a bottled water inside the car and handed it to her.

“Get off the car.” Kenny Clarke said calmly.

He opened the car door and got off the car. He took of his coat and sweater that were stained by Gloria Taylor’s vomit and left only a thin shirt.

Gloria Taylor’s clothes on the other hand was clean.

When she got off the car, the cold winter wind blew over. She felt refreshed.

She turned to look at Kenny Clarke who was wearing a thin shirt. She couldn’t help asking, “Aren’t you cold?”

When she asked, Kenny Clarke turned to look at her.

She had just vomited. Her eyes were wet and slightly red. Her face was pale and so was her lips. Poor Gloria Taylor looked pitiful.

He was about say, “What do you think?”, but instead, he said, “I’m not cold.”

Gloria Taylor was mentally preparing herself to listen to his harsh words and planning to reply him with, “You deserve it.”, but he said that he was not cold.

The man was no ordinary. The temperature at the moment was obviously below zero, but he was only wearing think shirt and said that he was not cold.

But, he was not lying. Her whole body was shivering, but Kenny Clarke didn’t react to the cold at all.

***

The car was dirty. Gloria Taylor and Kenny Clarke went home by taxi.

He let his bodyguard drove the car home for him.

Back home, Kenny Clarke went to the study to take a bath and Gloria Taylor went to the bedroom, also to take a bath.

When she came out of the bathroom, Kenny Clarke was already wearing robe while sitting on the sofa near the window.

The lamps in the room wasn’t turned on. A yellow floor lamp beside Kenny Clarke was the only source of light inside the room. It almost looked like a halo hanging over him making him look gentle.

But, no one knew him better than Gloria Taylor.

His gentleness was merely an illusion.

Gloria Taylor walked toward him and was about to sit down beside him.

She was reluctant though. When she approached him, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

He sipped his wine and brought his mouth closer to hers, “Take a sip.”

Gloria Taylor frowned and pushed him away, “No, I don’t want to.” she didn’t want to drink or eat anything after washing.

Kenny Clarke wouldn’t take no for an answer. He pressed his lips to hers, hooked it and poured the wine into her mouth.

She was caught off guard and almost choked.

He caressed her hair gently soothing her.

After she managed to calm down, she threw her fists on his chest.

Kenny Clarke reached out and caught her little fists. He slightly dropped his eyelids looking indifferent, “Is he the reason why you bail on your guard?”

He said it without prologue. She was confused for a moment before she realized what he was saying.

“What do you mean?” did he say that she dumped her bodyguard only to meet Colin Hall?

He looked up and looked at her deeply, “Do you want to leave me?”

“What are you talking about?!” Gloria Taylor frowned, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“You don’t want to take wedding photos and you don’t want to marry me.” when he talked about this, he still maintained his poker face, but his voice sounded tense.

“I explained to you before. I—”

Kenny Clarke didn’t want to listen to her explanation at all. He knew what was in her heart. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

He hooked her waist closer to him and the wine glass fell to the ground. The floor was covered with carpet. The glass was not broken, but the wine spilled on all over the place.

Kenny Clarke looked at her sitting on his lap. He held her waist and legs and brought her to the bed. They finally lied down together.

Gloria Taylor gasped for air and asked, “Are you and Anne divorced?”

“Hm.” his forehead was sweaty and his breath was heavy.

They were not fit to have a child now.

After she thought about it, she fell asleep.

Kenny Clarke got off the bed and took a warm towel to wipe Gloria Taylor’s body.

He lowered his eyes and moved softly as if she was a precious work of art.

After wiping her body, he parted the bangs on her forehead and gently planted a kiss on it. He said in a very low voice, “You’re the only one I have.”

Gloria Taylor seemed to hear this. She lifted her heavy eyebrows and saw the blurry figure in front of her. She knew that it was Kenny Clarke.

She was so sleepy that she couldn’t even raise her hand, but she could feel another hand held hers. She felt safe and then, she went back to sleep.

Kenny Clarke sat on the bed while staring at her for a long time. Finally, he put her hand back under the sheet.

***

The next day when she woke up, she found out that other side of the bed was empty.

She stretched out her hand and felt that the bed was cold. Kenny Clarke had got up for quite a while.

She sat up and leaned against the bed. She started counting her safe days with her eyes closed.

It didn’t seem right. So, she probably needed to take a medicine.

She hadn’t thought about having a child just yet.

In addition to her unstable relationship with Kenny Clarke right now, she still had a lot of things to do.

She was only 22 and her life had just begun. She didn’t have a good mother and she may also be an unqualified daughter.

Even if she wanted a child now, she wouldn’t know how to properly take care of it.
