Chapter 59 – Why can’t we be together
Cecilia Glendon didn’t expect Helen Benson to ask herself this question out of the blue. She shook for a moment before she reacted and corrected herself, “Your brother and I are not in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.”
“Sooner or later, we will be.” Helen Benson didn’t care about that, “My brother likes you so much, he’ll get you for sure.”
Cecilia Glendon was speechless.
Helen Benson asked, “Seriously, would you still be with my brother if my grandfather had stopped it?”
Seeing Cecilia Glendon about to retort again, she busied herself by saying, “I’ll just assume for a moment.”
Cecilia Glendon had no choice but to think about the question for a while, and then said, “First, I can’t be with your brother because I don’t love him. Second, even if I loved him, I wouldn’t be with him.”
After all was said and done, love or no love, the two of them could not be together, Helen Benson was a little confused.
“Why? Isn’t that what people who love each other do, to be together? If you love my brother, and my brother loves you, why can’t you two be together?”
“This world is not as simple as you think.” Cecilia Glendon looked dark, “What is your brother’s status, and what is my status, how can I be with him.”
If Cecilia Glendon did get together with Abbott Benson, not only she, but also Abbott Benson would be gossiped behind her back.
If she wasn’t divorced, then she could still fight to be with Abbott Benson, but, there is no if.
“You’re way off base with that idea.” Helen Benson disagreed, “There’s nothing in this world that can’t be solved if you love each other.”
“That’s because you’re too young.” Cecilia Glendon smiled lightly, not arguing with Helen Benson about who was right and who was wrong, and continued chopping vegetables.
“Why are you all calling me small, one and two at a time.” Helen Benson clutched her face and beamed, “I’m not small anymore, I’m twenty.”
Cecilia Glendon smiled but didn’t say anything.
Helen Benson waited for a while but didn’t get an answer from Cecilia Glendon, so she turned around and went back to the living room to look through Cecilia Glendon’s designs.
After a while, she asked, “When will you make this dress?”
Cecilia Glendon turned around and replied, “Next season. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, if it comes out, I want to be the first to wear it.” There is no shortage of appreciation in Helen Benson’s voice.
She was always picky, but Cecilia Glendon’s designs were right up her alley.
“If you’re in Greenwich when it comes out, I can be the first to send it to you.” Cecilia Glendon laughed.
“Then I’m sure I won’t be there.” Helen Benson nodded.
She was going back to school in a couple of days and wouldn’t be back for the rest of the quarter.
At that thought, she jumped up from the couch again and ran to the kitchen, “How about this, when the clothes come out, you give me a heads up and I’ll have my brother buy them from you and send them to me.”
Cecilia Glendon said, “Won’t your brother think it’s a hassle?”
“Not at all.” Helen Benson grunted.
She was doing it for her brother’s own good.
Abbott Benson liked Cecilia Glendon, so she had to help her brother, although she did not think Cecilia Glendon could enter the Benson family, but she had to help, and Cecilia Glendon was not as annoying as she thought.
To put it mildly, it’s Jamie Hall’s fault.
“Actually, I came back this time because Jamie Hall called me.” Helen Benson suddenly said so.
Cecilia Glendon’s hand was on the ground, not asking why.
Cecilia Glendon naturally understood what Jamie Hall had in mind.
If Jamie Hall is really engaged to Abbott Benson, then Helen Benson is the future sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law naturally wants to please, she called Helen Benson, must have said a lot of bad things about Cecilia Glendon, that’s why when we met at the hotel, Helen Benson was so hostile to Cecilia Glendon with hostility.
“I originally thought Jamie Hall was a simple person with little heart, and thought that it wasn’t a bad thing to grow up so simple in Hall’s house, but now I realize she’s so bad at heart.”
Helen Benson said, her tone full of disdain for Jamie Hall.
For her words, Cecilia Glendon did not answer, just pretend not to hear.
Helen Benson could say bad things about Jamie Hall, but she couldn’t. She wasn’t in the habit of bad-mouthing people behind their backs.
“I’m going to start frying, the fumes are big, so get out.” Cecilia Glendon said.
“Okay.” Helen Benson replied and turned to leave the kitchen.
…
Helen Benson ate at Cecilia Glendon and it was nine o’clock. Cecilia Glendon let her go back to rest and took her time to sort out the dishes, just finished and was about to go to her room to take a bath when there was a knock on the door.
She opened the door and saw Abbott Benson standing outside with a tired face.
“Helen Benson went back.” Cecilia Glendon said before he could say anything.
Abbott Benson smiled a little helplessly, “I came to see you.”
Cecilia Glendon blocked the door to keep him out: “What do you want with me?”
Seeing what she meant, Abbott Benson didn’t force himself to go in: “Jamie Hall is looking for you today, right?”
Cecilia Glendon was surprised: “How do you know?”
“Because she came to see me, too.” Mentioning Jamie Hall, Abbott Benson’s face was a bit unpleasant, his eyebrows slightly cold, “Whatever she said, you should not believe it.”
Cecilia Glendon froze: “What did she say?”
It seems like Jamie Hall didn’t say anything to her, so what did Abbott Benson mean by that? Was she worried that Jamie Hall would say something to her that would make her misunderstand?Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Nothing …” he sank a breath, “Get some rest early.”
Looking at his back, Cecilia GlendonTaylorTaylor mouth wanted to call out to him, but then thought, he called out to him, what can I say?
The content of the earlier conversation with Jamie Hall once again appeared in front of her eyes, she clearly told Jamie Hall, she and Abbott Benson no relationship.
Was she now going to go against what she had said?
Cecilia Glendon bit her lower lip, her eyebrows averted, her expression downcast, and slowly closed the door.
Abbott Benson’s body has many secrets.
For example, the strange words he just said, and then one morning a long time ago, he looked cold, his eyes grim choke her neck …
Cecilia Glendon has always understood that to achieve the position of Abbott Benson, must be subjected to the pressure that ordinary people can not bear.
She did not know if she could withstand those pressures public opinion if she chose to be with Abbott Benson, so she did not dare to choose to stand with him.
At least, not now.
On this side, Abbott Benson went back to his house and found Helen Benson asleep on the couch with the TV on, and he went over to her and shook her awake.
“Go back to bed.”
“Brother? You’re back. …” Helen Benson woke up and rubbed her eyes.
“Mmm.” Abbott Benson responded faintly.
“Did you know about that?” Helen Benson sat on the couch, looked at Abbott Benson, and asked, “About Rannie Yellow, something happened to her in America.”
The name Rannie Yellow was like a sharp blade that poked into Abbott Benson’s heart, making his face a bit colder.
When he didn’t say anything, Helen Benson said faintly again, “I heard she was going back to her country.”
