Chapter 401 What Kind of Person Was He?
Kenny rke lifted up Tina rke the way he lifted up Gloria Taylor which was a bridal style.
She felt ufortable feeling her small body being carried with that style. It was no different with lying
down.
She lifted her small legs and Kenny rke held her upright.
He held her with one hand, turned around and opened the study room.
He went in, looked at the mess in the room, and stared at it for a moment. He put Tina rke aside,
crouched down and began to pick up things.
Tina rke was probably thinking that the room was too messy. She tiptoed to the edge of the sofa
and climbed it. She rubbed her tiger doll while looking at Kenny rke going around.
After a few seconds, she asked Kenny rke curiously, “Dad, what are you doing?”
He said without looking up, “I’m picking up stuff from the floor.”
“Oh. I’ll give you hand.” she excitedly slid down from the sofa, ran to Kenny rke and began to help
him picking up stuff from the floor.
However, she didn’t pick it up and fold it neatly like Kenny rke. She just stuff it in her arms and
crumpled it up. Finally, she brought it to Kenny rke looking proud, “I’m pick these all up!”
Kenny rke took it and rubbed her head, “You’d better go and y.”
“Okay.” she curled he lips.
She didn’t think that picking up stuff was fun either.
At her age, she liked colorful and lovely toys. She had no interest in these white papers.
After Kenny rke done picking up stuff from the floor and put them back on the table, suddenly there
was a knock on the door outside.
“Who is it?” he asked coldly.
“It’s me. Is Tina still here? I heated a cup of milk for her. She should take a bath and sleep.” said Gloria
Taylor.
Kenny rke didn’t notice that it was almost ten o’clock.
He turned to Tina rke and found that she was listening the voice at the door with her ears erect.
She was sitting on the sofa with head tilted sideways and eyes moving around. She was apparently
attracted by the voice outside the door.
He chuckled and asked, “Did you hear that? Who is calling you?”
“Mom’s calling me. She had a cup of milk for me.” she looked pleasantly surprise.
Kenny rke was just as surprised, “Not auntie?”
“You said mom.” Tina rke spoke a little too fast.
She was about to say, “You said that she was my mom.”
After replying Kenny rke, she jumped off the sofa, “I’ll open the door.”
Kenny rke watched her run to the door. He ignored her.

He picked up the stuff on the table, walked behind the desk, and put it inside the bottom drawer.
When he looked up, he saw Tina rke opened the door and called out sweetly, “Mom.”
Gloria Taylor was carrying a cup of milk. When she heard the way she called her, she stood still.
After a while, she came back to her senses and asked in disbelief, “What did you call me?”
“Mom.” Tina rke probably felt the emotional changes of the woman standing in front of her. She
couldn’t help straightening up her face.
It was so sudden. Gloria Taylor was a little too overwhelmed.
“I… I heated a cup of milk for you…” Gloria Taylor stuttered. She crouched and handed the milk to Tina
rke.
Her eyes lit up as she reached out for the cup and drank it.
Gloria Taylor reached out her hand to help her hold the cup because she was worried she couldn’t hold
the cup herself.
Tina rke had a good appetite.
She emptied out of the cup and showed it to Gloria Taylor, “I’m finished!”
Her heart softened, “That’s great! Shall I heat you another cup of milk tomorrow night?”
“Okay!”
Tina rke happily held the cup and ran back to Kenny rke.
Her eyes followed the little girl. She didn’t know how long Kenny rke had been standing by the
doorway.
He was leaning on the door looking at Tina rke with arms crossed.
The little girl just got apliment from Gloria Taylor. Tina rke looked at Kenny rke expectantly,
“Look, Dad! I drank it all!”
Tina rke had just emptied the ss and now, she had a white beard above her lips.
He smiled and reached out his fingers to erase it. He asked, “Did you say thank you?”
Tina rke turned her head and said, “Thank you, Mom!”
Gloria Taylor was surprised when she heard Tina rke calling her ‘mom’.
She wouldn’t do this in a whim. It must be Kenny rke’s idea.
Now, she felt that Kenny rke was tooplicated to understand.
He was arrogant, asionally a little na?ve, but now, he was a little… intimate.
She nced at him with mixed feelings.

Gloria Taylor bathed Tina rke and tucked her to sleep.
She saw Kenny rke who had just done taking a bath. He was wearing a soft pajama. He didn’t look
as fierce as he was before.
She took a deep breath and said, ‘Thank you.”
Kenny rke must have taught Tina rke to change the way she addressed her.
She didn’t know why Kenny rke did this, but Gloria Taylor was very grateful to him.
Tina rke seemed to like her very much, but she liked Kenny rke better because he was the one
who had been around longer.
There was no doubt about this.
Therefore, Tina rke actually listened to Kenny rke.
Before he closed Tina rke’s bedroom, he looked inside and saw Tina rke sleeping soundly with
doll in her arms. After that, he withdrew his sight.
Kenny rke looked at Gloria Taylor and said faintly, “Even a child can say thank you.”
He turned around and left.
Gloria Taylor stood still.
Did he just regard her the same as a child?
Gloria Taylor seemed to have a new understanding.
She thought that powerful people didn’t meddle with the less powerful ones.
But, why did Kenny rke use her each and every word as a weapon against her?
He would go so far as to seize every chance to do it and to step on her.
Gloria Taylor returned to her room. The more she thought about it, she more she felt strange.
She called Edith Hall.
Edith Hall was so excited, “Gloria!”
“Edith, I have something to ask you.”
“What is it? Ask away.”
She thought for a moment and asked conservatively, “Kenny rke, what kind of person is he?”
“Well… Ahem…”
