Chapter 235: After all, we don't know each other very well
Tina was a little embarrassed by Gloria's coldness.
She pulled her hand back cautiously, looking over at Colin.
Colin smiled at her gently, looking very good-natured.
Gloria turned, walking out.
Outside the police station, Colin strode over to Gloria, trying to talk to her.
But before he could get near Gloria, he was stopped by the bodyguards.
Colin's face changed slightly and then went back to normal, saying jokingly. "I just wanted to talk to you while these guards are so watchful. Is Kenny treating you like a prisoner?"
His voice sounded as if he was joking with a close friend.
But Gloria knew that their relationship was not good, so she didn't think he was joking.
He just said it on purpose, so was he trying to sow discord between her and Kenny?
She didn't know what was wrong with Colin as he had to hold on to her.
"Mr. Hall, you must have been terrible at Chinese when you were in school. Otherwise, how come you don't even know what a bodyguard does? Shall I explain to you what a bodyguard does?"
Gloria looked at Colin with a sneer.
Colin thought Gloria looked at him like she was looking at a contemptible scoundrel.
He felt disgraced but tried to save his face. "Of course, I know what a bodyguard does. Only, wouldn't it be too much to stop me coming even a little nearer?"
Gloria's voice sounded casual. "That's not too much. After all, we don't know each other very well."
Tina, who was standing by, suddenly spoke out. "Gloria, you mustn't talk to Colin like that. I know there has been a misunderstanding between you and him, but since he has been taking care of me all this time, will you shake hands and make up with him?"
Colin?
It sounded like Tina and Colin were really close to each other.
Gloria wondered how Colin met Tina and why he took so much care of Tina.
What she knew was that a thief was as good as a gallant.
She didn't think Colin took in and took care of Tina because he cared about his previous relationship with Anne.
"There's no misunderstanding between us, so we don't have to shake hands and make up with each other." Gloria looked at Tina, pretending to be confused. "Anne is your daughter, and she was engaged to Mr. Hall before, so for a man as kind as Mr. Hall, he certainly would like to take you in and take care of you when he saw you living outside. Isn't that just a constant occurrence in human relationships?"
As everything Tina said was just a defense of Colin, it seemed Colin has taken good care of her and coaxed her well these days.
“Gloria……”
"I have something to do, so I must go back." Gloria pretended to look at the time. "Surely, kind Mr. Hall, you wouldn't mind sending your ex-fiancee's mom back to her home?"
Colin took Tina in and took care of her because he wanted to get closer to Gloria.
He knew a little about the Taylor's, so he knew that Gloria cared about her mother.
Not so, as he now saw this.
Since Gloria had said these words, certainly, this was the only way he could respond. "Why should I mind? Of course, I'd love to."
"Then I'll leave first."
Gloria didn't look at Tina anymore, while she turned, getting into the car.
Tina stood there, looking flustered. As she watched Gloria's car disappear, she was at a loss.
Gloria's attitude toward her seemed too cold.
As Gloria left, Colin's face darkened. "Mrs. Taylor, I'll take you home."
Tina noticed Colin's face was not good, so she told him. "Don't worry about it. Maybe she's in a bad mood because she's pregnant, so..."
It seemed that Tina's words irritated Colin, he grabbed Tina's arm, saying angrily. "What did you say? Say it again!"
Tina was shocked by the way Colin looked. "Colin, what's the matter with you?"
These days, Colin was very gentle with her, as he even asked someone to take her out to go shopping.
He suddenly changed his attitude towards her, so she was shocked.
Colin immediately looked as gentle as he had been before, asking softly. "You said she was pregnant?"
"Yeah."
Tina was relieved to see that his face looked as gentle as ever.
So she just misread the mood of him before.
"I see. I'll take you back now." Colin looked down, and his voice still sounded soft, but he looked strange.
…
What had happened was just a small matter to Gloria, so she soon forgot about it.
As the New Year drew to a close, Gloria guessed that Kenny might bring her back to the old mansion this year.
After all, it was the first New Year's Eve after Kenny took charge of the Clarke's Group, so Kenny was obliged to return to the old mansion.
Even Kenny had the right to do whatever he wanted because he could go back if he wanted to, whereas if he didn't want to go back, he could choose not to go back.
But in the end, people would choose to blame her.
Two days before the Annual leave of the Clarke's Group, Gloria was already preparing their belongings when they returned to the old mansion.
The old mansion was not short of things they use, but certainly, they were more comfortable with the things they were used to.
In the evening, Kenny came home a little late.
Gloria had finished washing, and with her computer in her lap, she was going to write for a while before going to bed.
Kenny came in with his suit jacket in his arms. His hair was a little untidy, looking unusually tired.
"You're back."
Gloria looked up at him.
It was cold, so even if the room had central heating, Gloria wore fluffy pajamas, which made her look warm.
After she became pregnant, she stayed at home all the time, while the servant had taken good care of her, and her own routine was so regular that she looked much better than before. Sitting in the lamplight, her skin looked as white as if it were glowing.
As she sat in the corner of the sofa, she stretched out her legs, resting her computer on them. She had her hair loose, and her hair was very black and her skin was very white, while she looked at him with catlike eyes, which made her look extremely attractive...
Kenny threw his suit jacket away, walking up to her, and as he bent over, he threw the computer out of her lap, and then he sat down next to her, taking her in his arms.
When he held her computer in his hand, she felt frightened. "Please throw it gently..." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
As if not satisfied with her caring about the computer at such a time, he lowered his head, kissing her for a long time.
When they stopped to part, Kenny said in a low voice. "My Aunt comes back.”
