Chapter 79: Can’t Carry It Off
Cecilia Glendon nodded with certainty: “Yes.”
Helen Benson saw that she couldn’t hide it, so she could only confess: “Okay, I admit it, my brother asked me to drag you here.”
“Why?” Cecilia Glendon gulped, “Why would he want me to come to your house?”
“I don’t know.” Helen Benson shrugged, then looked at the time, “But my brother is probably coming back too, so ask him yourself later.”
When she heard that Abbott Benson was coming back, Cecilia Glendon reflexively got up from the couch and headed out, but before she could stand up, Helen Benson held her shoulders down and squeezed her.
“Cecilia Glendon sister, what are you afraid of ah, my brother and do not eat people.”
Cecilia Glendon’s heart is sarcastic: it is strange that he does not eat people, he simply eats people without spitting out bones!
But what Cecilia Glendon is more curious about now is what Abbott Benson has asked her to do here.
She was leaning on the sofa thinking about this matter, Helen Benson was still rambling in her ears, her voice is very nice, giving people a sweet feeling, Cecilia Glendon listened, surprisingly came to sleepy, and finally fell asleep directly on the sofa.
Helen Benson said halfway, seems to hear an even breathing sound from the side, she turned her head to look, see Cecilia Glendon fell asleep on the sofa after, some helpless hooked lips smiled.
“Looks really exhausted, I guess.” Helen Benson shook her head and gingerly walked off the couch to get a thin blanket and put it over her.
Cecilia Glendon’s brow was still furrowed as she slept, looking like she was worried about something.
Helen Benson thought of Greenwich’s comment about Cecilia Glendon, that she was a young and talented designer and Bluck’s protégé, and that countless people envied her for her success, but no one had ever thought about how much more effort she had put into it than others.
Like people who drink water, they know what they are doing.
Helen Benson picked up the book and continued to read, although not in school, she can not leave behind the study.
Abbott Benson returned an hour later, he just opened the door Cecilia Glendon woke up from a dream, full of sweat, face were white a few points.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Sister Cecilia Glendon, did you have a nightmare?” Helen Benson was about to get up to greet Abbott Benson, but suddenly saw Cecilia Glendon’s white face, could not help but worry and asked.
“I’m fine …” Cecilia Glendon shook her head, she breathed heavily, covered her forehead with a cold hand, and when she put it down again, her palms were covered with sweat.
“Brother, you’re back!” Helen Benson handed her the tissue and looked up just in time to see Abbott Benson loosening his tie as he walked toward the living room.
Abbott Benson is back …
Cecilia Glendon heard the name and hurriedly got up from the couch and turned to look at him.
Abbott Benson was wearing an ink-colored suit today, the well-made suit trimmed his long body even more upright, he had untied his tie and held it casually in his hand, his whole body seemed to exude an aura of yuppie.
“Is everything okay?” Abbott Benson asked as he approached her.
“No … it’s fine.” Cecilia Glendon tried to calm herself down, “That, since you’re back, I’ll go back first.”
Cecilia Glendon said, Cecilia Glendon hurriedly bent down to get her bag on the sofa, only before her hand touched it, there was another large hand across to pick up her bag, turned around and headed for the bedroom, while leaving a message: “Come in with me.”
The tone was unmistakable.
Cecilia Glendon looked at Abbott Benson’s back in disbelief, and didn’t realize what he was going to do until Helen Benson gave her a nudge and she followed her afterwards.
In the bedroom, as soon as Cecilia Glendon walked in, she could see Abbott Benson taking off his suit jacket and throwing it on the bed, while raising his hands, slowly unbuttoning the sleeves and pushing the sleeves of his shirt up to the small of his arms, with hands as if they were sculpted, beautiful and mesmerizing.
This is the first time Cecilia Glendon so carefully look at Abbott Benson’s hands, I must say, his hands are beautiful.
It seems to be even more beautiful than hers.
Cecilia Glendon stole her head down to look at her fingers.
“Sit down.”
Just as Cecilia Glendon was playing with her fingers, Abbott Benson’s voice came, and she looked up to see that he had sat down at the table on the balcony outside, his long legs folded, and was turning his head to look at her.
Cecilia Glendon coughed softly and walked out, taking a seat across from him.
It was almost dark, with a remnant of sunlight left in the sky, and the warm sunlight fell comfortably on them.
“Still angry?” Abbott Benson said suddenly.
“Huh?” Cecilia Glendon looked confused, “What am I angry about?”
“About the last time.” Abbott Benson said.
The last time?
Cecilia Glendon thought for a moment about the time she had turned down Abbott Benson.
She wanted to laugh a little, and in fact, she did laugh: “Isn’t it you who should be angry about that?”
“I’m not angry.” Abbott Benson looked at her, “But you seem to be angry.”
“I’m not.” Cecilia Glendon shook her head, “But my mind remains unchanged right now.”
Abbott Benson averted his gaze, looked outside and said lightly, “I didn’t think you’d change either.”
Cecilia Glendon: “So what did you ask me to come here for today?”
“To talk about other things.” Abbott Benson meant something.
“About what else?” Cecilia Glendon wrinkles her nose.
Abbott Benson: “You’re not going to tell me about your studio?”
Cecilia Glendon is stunned: “How do you know?” She remembered the strange behavior of Debby White today, “Debby White told you.”
Not a question, but an affirmation.
Debby White had just been sold to Abbott Benson.
“I have sent someone to investigate, the results will be available soon, you do not have to worry too much.” Abbott Benson said this in a very light tone, but he seemed to be comforting Cecilia Glendon as much as listening to Cecilia Glendon’s heart had a sour taste.
She just couldn’t understand, Abbott Benson has been hurt by her rejection so many times, why he was always there every time something happened to her?
When she got divorced … her car was smashed by Gail Brown … and even this time, the studio was smashed again, where there was Abbott Benson.
How can he be so haunted?
What’s even scarier is that she actually still feels pretty good about having him around.
She was clearly resisting Abbott Benson’s proximity with all her heart and soul, but every time there was always something to bring them closer together.
Is this fate? I can’t hide from it.
Cecilia Glendon’s eyes were a little red, she hurriedly averted her gaze to look outside, even so, Abbott Benson still saw her red eyes.
“I know you are a proud person, but there are some things that you can’t carry alone.” Abbott Benson took her hand on the table and held it tighter after feeling her subconscious struggle, “I also know it’s not easy for you to accept me right now, but even if we’re not a couple, we should still be considered friends.”
Cecilia Glendon bit her lip and didn’t say anything, and she didn’t dare to look at Abbott Benson, afraid that once she saw his face she wouldn’t be able to control the tears that would fall.
