Kemp Ross reached for a cigarette and lit it, took a long drag, exhaled green and white smoke, and a brief dead silence fell over the room.
Probably trying to think of wording, the man said in a muffled voice, “What did she tell you?”
Rong Feng nced at him, his tone was stillzy, “She said she came back this time with the simple purpose ofing to you.”
Kemp Ross didn’t speak, his expression vague and unreadable.
Rong Feng sniffed the fragranceing from the kitchen,fortably closed his eyes, faintly stated, “After the orphanage fire, her leg was injured and sent to the hospital, then adopted, changed his name and moved abroad.”
“… As for why she hasn’t contacted you at all over the years, this she will have to exin to you face to face. And …”
He suddenly hooked his lips and said with interest, “… I didn’t tell her you were married.”
It wouldn’t be as much fun to just say it.
Kemp Ross still did not say anything, quietly smoking a cigarette, deep bottomless ck eyes with deep indistinguishable emotions.
The bright voice in the mind seems to be a little clearer.
“Snap!”
Suddenly a crunching sound came from the kitchen jerking back the man’s drifting thoughts, his expression drifted for a few seconds.
He then threw away his cigarette, stood up and walked into the kitchen, asking lightly, “What’s wrong?”
Phoebe Barnes was squatting on the ground picking up the porcin tiles, the sudden sound coldly startled her, the porcin tiles in her hand slipped, leaving a long wound directly on her palm, which soon oozed blood.
Kemp Ross leaned against the door and looked at her, neither stepping forward nor showing any concern, even with a smile, very gentle and light, only without a sense of truth, “You’ve used the rejection, and now you’re going to use the bitter trick? Are you going to do it for me or for him?”
Phoebe Barnes looked stiff and hurriedly got up from the floor, holding up her bleeding hand, and said awkwardly, “Sorry, it was me who just identally touched a te, I’ll take care of itter. His meal is ready, please bring it out to him.”
After saying that, she walked out with her head down and staggered away from him.
Kemp Ross cool smile face a moment gloomy down, jaw line tightened to the extreme.
Rong Feng watched outside the woman bowed her head and sped her hands and hurried into the bathroom, with a light smile at the corners of her lips, and said nothing.
When Phoebe Barnes came out, Yung Fung had already eaten, and Kemp Ross stood by with an expressionless face.
“Sure enough, it’s still the right vor.”
Rong Feng ate unhurriedly, raised his eyes and nced at her, not how attentive praise, like telling an insignificant thing.
Phoebe Barnesughed softly, “As long as you like it.”
For Rong Feng is how to like her cooking, she is also a bit puzzled, he is to go to the Bi Shui Yunju quite a few times, but stay for dinner not many times, and most are Chen Ma cooking, she only asionallye back earlier to cook.
However, a few true or false, she did not want to specte, how much she could not see through Kemp Ross will not see through Rong Feng, and even Rong Feng gave her a moreplex feeling.
With that, she turned back to the kitchen to clean up the mess.
Kemp Ross nced at her injured hand wrapped in just ayer of tissue and his brow furrowed.
Rong Feng did not raise his head tsk tskugh: “Where is the medicine box do not need me to tell you, if the scar, it is a pity that a pair of small hands.”
Kemp Ross nced down at him, his voice nd and emotionless, “The soup is too nd, I added something to it, since you like it so much, drink it all.”
“…”
The corners of Rong Feng’s mouth twitched fiercely.
Phoebe Barnes cleaned up the debris and came out, looking at the strange expression of Rong Feng, a face of uncertainty.
“Finished packing?” Kemp Ross looked at her coldly.
“Huh? … Hmm.”
“Are you going toe to him as a cook and cleaner or as a stepmother for him?” The icy voice added a hint of mockery.
Phoebe Barnes immediately shook her head, her pretty face unspeakably thin and soft, “Not …”
“Go back.”
The man dropped the two words and didn’t even look at her as he strode straight towards the door.
Phoebe Barnes was stunned, hastily picked up her bag and waved her hand at Rong Feng, “We’re going back first.”
Rong Feng savoring the hot spice in his mouth, looking at the two who soon disappeared, his handsome eyebrows jumped a few times.
Kemp Ross didn’t say a word until he got back to the Bayswater Cloud House, but turned around and went to his study.
Phoebe Barnes returned to the master bedroom looking gloomy and in a lost mood.
The summer night was hot, and the cold white moonlight shone through the curtains, setting off a hint of loneliness and destion.
His prejudice against her seems to be getting deeper, or rather, from the beginning he did not think so well of her.
Rubbing her brow, sheughed lowly to herself and turned to enter the bathroom.
Aftering out of the shower, Chen’s mother came knocking on the door.
“Ma’am, this is what sir told me to bring over.”
Phoebe Barnes, dressed in a white silk nightgown, looked at the medicine box in Chen’s mother’s hand and was slightly stunned, “… Mr. … asked you to take it?”
Chen Ma asked, “Yes, ma’am, are you injured?”
Phoebe Barnes shook her head, “It’s a minor injury, I can handle it myself.”
“Okay!” Chen Ma put down the medicine box.
“By the way, is the gentleman still in the … study?” Phoebe Barnes looked flickering for a moment and pretended to inquire carelessly.
“Yes, it’s in, it’s not out yet.”
“Well, I know, you go rest.”
After Chen’s mother left, Phoebe Barnes stared at the medicine box for a moment, then looked down at the red bruise on her palm, her mind in turmoil.
Is this his concern?Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Guess not, she exhaled and opened the medicine box to treat the wound little by little.
At that moment, the cell phone resting on the bed vibrated.
Put down the sterile cotton, nced at the notes, her face softened a few points, pressed the answer.
“Hey, Nancy.”
“Baby, I’m back.” A refreshingly clean female voice came out of the phone.
Phoebe Barnes, slightly stunned and surprised, said, “Why are you back all of a sudden? I wasn’t even informed to pick you up.”
“I just got off the ne, it’s sote, why did youe to pick me up? Don’t worry, I’ll take a taxi back.”
“Oh!” Phoebe Barnes returned the word softly.
The other side seemed to be displeased, and their voices went up an octave, “Oh what oh, Phoebe Barnes, I just called you on the first phone call I got off the ne, and you’re just so cold to call me back?”
Phoebe Barnes said helplessly, “You’re just getting off the ne now, is it convenient to make small talk with me?”
“Uh … wait a minute, I’ll get in the car.”
There was a giggle, then silence.
“…”
After two seconds of speechlessness, Phoebe Barnes simply clicked on the hands-free and continued to wrap her hands.
“Hey, still there?” The high voice came from there.
“In in in in …” Phoebe Barnes was speechless, how could that woman still be so refreshed after such a long flight?
“Phoebe, how is your big CEO treating youtely?”
Phoebe Barnes, “…”
“You’re not going to Europe for a month’s vacation, not for a year, how about you don’t know yourself?”
The woman there gave a lightugh, “I am always following up, never overlooking a single detail.”
