Chapter 1552


    Penelope was still very grateful towards the Rain. She lowered her head and silently followed behind him, but in her heart, an unspeakable bitterness


    surged. Actually, she had often encountered such small, unfair things like today, butpared to these, what she rewarded the most were the gossip


    of the people behind her.


    Penelope raised her head and looked at the man’s broad shoulders. Although Rain was close to middle age and did not make anyone''s heart


    palpitate with excitement, Penelope suddenly wanted to lean on him


    "Here it is." Rain who was walking in front suddenly stopped, Penelope absent—mindedly went forward and hugged him from the back.


    The atmosphere immediately froze. Both of them looked panicked and helpless.


    "Sorry, I... It was not intentional. " Penelope''s face was flushed red, she lowered her head, tidied up the hair by her ears and exined anxiously.


    Rain looked a little embarrassed as heughed dryly, "It''s fine, let''s go. I''ve reserved a ce.”


    Rain led her up the stairs. After that carelessness just now, it was as if Penelope had broken her heart, causing her to secretly rejoice, but at the


    same time, she was also a little perturbed, she had never thought that she would have such a quick side to herself. She had always felt that her heart


    had died, so no one should even think so much.


    The boss of the hotpot restaurant was a friend of Rain. Seeing him bringing a beauty upstairs, he could not help but go up and tease him


    When Penelope saw an outsider, she immediately acted gracefully. After all, she was not a little girl, hermunication skills were quite good.


    After getting a private room, the two of them sat down. The Rain asked Penelope to order, and Penelope directly passed it to him


    Rain gave her a cup of tea and started drinking it himself.


    "Do you know why I''m treating you to dinner?" Penelope suddenly said.


    Rain was startled, and said: "Didn''t you say you want to thank me for sending you off?”


    “Of course not," Penelope bit her lower lip, and said hesitantly: "Rain, are you willing to be my boyfriend?”


    "Cough!" Rain choked on her sudden question and started coughing uncontrobly.


    Penelope saw that his words were too bold and direct. scaring the other party. She immediately said apologetically: "I''m sorry, wasn''t I too abrupt?"


    Rain coughed, his face flushed red. Then, he lowered his head and said: "I am not worthy of you."


    "What do you mean ‘unworthy’? You''re a man, and I''m a woman. That''s more than enough. Where is the ‘unworthy’ one?” Penelope was amused by


    his words, and immediately replied.


    "My identity is not worthy of you." Seeing that she had misunderstood, Rain could only be more specific.


    "My ex—husband was a businessman. He was rich, but he only loved me for a few months before moving on. At that time I was in great pain, the


    person I chose, how did he be like this? Later on, I realized that it wasn''t that I was wrong, it was just that there was something wrong with the


    other party''s character, and he wasn''t willing to only be nice to me. " Mentioning the old story, Penelope''s face was filled with sorrow.


    Rain was a little startled, and didn''t know how tofort her for a while.


    It was unfortunate for a woman to encounter such a failed marriage.


    Penelope raised her head and looked at him, his eyes glistening with tears: “From that time, I kept my distance from men, I lost my ability to love, I


    became like a monster. Everyone said that I was sick in my heart. but I knew that I was not sick, I was just afraid of getting hurt.”


    "How do you know I''m a good person? If men are like this, then I also have an inferior personality. You have been hurt before, you shouldn''t trust a


    person so easily, right? " Rain could not help but chuckle as he advised her.


    Penelope nodded: "You are right, you cannot trust someone, but you don''t know how terrifying it is to be alone. Every day at work, there is no one


    who speaks, and I raise a cat.


    "What about your family? You should have parents. " Rain saw that the tears in the corner of her eyes were continuously flowing but did not fall. His


    heart could not tell what he was feeling and was actually feeling a little ufortable.


    "My parents were healthy, but I didn''t dare go home. They kept urging me to get married again, and even found me a lot of matchmakers. I knew they


    had good intentions for me, but I never wanted to get married." Penelope self—deprecatingly mocked himself.


    "I can understand what you''re saying, because I''m the same type of person as you." Rain could not help butugh.


    Penelope suddenly raised his head and looked at him. "Really?"


    "Mmm, I have a dog. I train him to help me carry my things every day, and I treat him like a child as well." Rain also started to mock himself.


    Tears suddenly rolled down from the corner of Penelope''s eyes. She quickly extended his hand to wipe them away, so there really were many simr


    people in this world.


    "If you feel lonely, I can be your friend." Rain said sincerely.


    "I don''t need friends, I need family, I need people who can talk at home, can you help me? It’s fine even if we be friends. You move where I live,


    or I move in your house. I don''t care about my reputation anymore. I want someone who can talk to me. " Penelope was like a fish in need of water to


    be saved


    Rain was stunned by her bold suggestion, and only after a while did hee back to his senses, “Are you really willing to rent a house with me? I''m


    aman, it might be a bit inconvenient for us to rent together. "


    "There''s nothing inconvenient about


    it. You can treat me as your brother


    since the marriage is also very pure.


    NN


    f you treatyne as your brother and


    we live.together, you won''t feel aby

    female warrior Penelope was’

    rolled up his sleeves and Went to stir


    the soup in the pot. Content belongs

    Rain’s expression became richer, seeing how the other party was not shy at all, he suddenly wanted tough, what''s going on, a man like him being


    shy here, it was really shameful.


    Penelope wore a very professiona


    looking set. After taking off the ck


    coloured suit} there was a white shirt


    with twoibuttons on the inside, ang a


    gold neece with a line drawn ‘on


    top ofier slender neck. Although


    she-didn''t have a very stunning


    beauty, she looked very graceful and


    exuded the scent of a woman at this


    age.


    Rain looked at the smokeing out from the pot and suddenly felt that the air in the box had be a little thin and stuffy.


    "Themb is ready, you can eat it now." Penelope was extremely polite and elegant in front of strangers, but after getting to know her, she no longer


    treated himself as an outsider. He already felt that Rain was his friend, so he naturally let go.


    Rain couldn''t help butugh. Seeing her take arge amount of meat into his bowl, an indescribable warmth filled his heart. How long had it been


    since anyone cared about him this much?


    Joseph Grant returned home at night. Wearing loose clothes, he sat on the sofa and swiped his phone.


    "Have you eaten?” Joseph Grant smiled and walked towards her, his fingers gently pinching her face.


    "Yes." Alvina Miller looked up at him in embarrassment: "Are you busy today?"


    "A little. I took a leave of absence


    yesterday andpiled up some things


    to take care of.” Joseph Grant''s


    handsome face was filled with


    fatigue. Seeing her gentle


    appearance, she could not help-but

    Alvina Miller immediately replied him in all seriousness: "I do, but as long as your sry is paid on time, you cane back on time.”


    “You want to take care of me so soon?” Joseph Grant knew that she was joking and could not help butugh.


    "I have to be careful of you. Who told you to be so good—looking?” Alvina Miller pouted.


    "You look pretty too.” Joseph Grant said with a wronged expression.


    Alvina Miller couldn''t help but burst outughing. "Forget it, I won''t bother you with this. If you''re tired, let''s go sleep on the bed."


    “Right. Let''s go." When the man heard the word bed, most of his fatigue subsided and he immediately sat up. In the next second, he stretched out his.


    hands to grab the girl''s legs and held her in his arms


    "AHH!" Without any warning, Alvina Miller let out a soft cry as she was lifted up.


    Joseph Grant even deliberately measured her strength: "How can I dare to use so much strength when I''m so weak?"Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Alvina Miller was amused by his words, and retorted: "You sound like you''re very capable, but I heard that you guys only have a bit of eloquence, and


    when ites to practice, it might not work."


    "What?" Did you just doubt me? " The handsome man''s expression changed. His thin lips fiercely kissed her on the mouth. "Alvina, you will regret it."


    "I won''t.” Alvina Miller stubbornly curled her lips: "If you dare bully me, I''ll bully your child in the future."


    "You ..." Joseph Grant realized that she always seemed to be the one who tripped him up when arguing.


    "What? Can''t I bully someone with the same surname as you? " Alvina Millerughed out loud


    Joseph Grant bit her chin in a punitive manner, teasing Alvina Miller so much that he wanted to dodge immediately.


    “Alvina, if I don''t bully you, do you think you have a chance to bully our child?" The man reminded her sinisterly.


    Alvina Miller was speechless, and said angrily: "Who knows who''s tired, and who doesn''t know who was bullied."


    "became bad so quickly? "Hmm?" Joseph Grant was helpless to do anything to her, this mouth of hers was not forgiving, she really deserved to be


    punished


    "I learned from you. You are bad, I am bad too. We are husband and wife.” Alvina Miller immediately smiled happily.


    Joseph Grant felt speechless once again.


    Upstairs, in the bedroom, he gently let her down on the bed. The next second, he was in a suit and leather shoes, pressing down on her.
