Chapter 267: Shameless (6)
Actually, when she refused the chicken leg, she felt some regret in her heart. The man she had liked for so long was treating her so carefully, and she actually felt quite happy. But she didn’t know what happened in that instant. Suddenly, she didn’t want to accept his kindness and made such an inexplicable move.
She now felt a bit excessive, so when Henry Ruiz yelled at her, she didn’t argue back.
Yet Bryan Hawkins was not only not angry but also appeared to be pleasing her. She couldn’t imagine why he had become like this now.
Could it be that she was used to being abused in front of him, and once he treated her well, she couldn’t accept it?
After dinner, Henry Ruiz and Bryan Hawkins drank tea in the living room while Carolline Ruiz went back to her room to take a nap. Emily Hill cleaned up the kitchen and left for the kindergarten. Before leaving, she told Henry that Carolline didn’t need to pick up the kids in the afternoon.
At one fifty, Carolline woke up and, upon opening the door, heard Henry and Bryan’s conversation. Was he still there?
Carolline turned around and went back into her room, washed her face, and then went to the kitchen to get a red apple. Munching on it, she headed out the door, "Dad, I’m going to work now, and you shouldn’t be late either."
"I know. You go ahead." Henry nodded, checked the time, and said to Bryan, "Bryan, why don’t you go to Carolline’s room and take a nap? When Axel gets home at five, he’ll be thrilled to see you."
