When Kate and Lily returned to the villa, Brian had already come back. He didn't say anything when he saw them come in.
After dinner, Lily went back to her room obediently. Kate didn't follow her because she knew she couldn't comfort Lily. She'd better leave Lily alone.
"Come here." Brian gently crooked his finger at Kate.
Kate stared at him. Sitting next to Brian reluctantly, she had too much to say.
"Are you very busy these two days?" Said Brian slightly.
"Yes..." Kate lowered her head with guilt.
Blake glanced at Kate with his darkened eyes and reached out his arms to hold her. He whispered in her ear: "kitten, don't let me down."
Kate was stunned and wondered what he wanted to say?
"Do you want to have some fruit? I'll wash it for you. " Kate stood up in a hurry, picked up a plate of fruit in front of the sofa and went into the kitchen. She did not dare to face him. His eyes were like torches, and were like sharp swords that pierced through the heart of people. He could see through all her thoughts.
She actually wanted to tell all the things to Brian, such as telling him that Lily's father was not William, or that they had met Lily's biological father, but this was her secret with Lily, and she could not say it. She didn't know how to explain relation between Lily and Colin.
She could only hide all these from him.
Alas Kate sighed and walked back to the hall.
"You spent half an hour." Brian raised his head, staring at her eyes, and said lightly.
Kate was shocked and she had been in a trance for a long time.
"Haha Let's eat... " Kate smiled wryly and handed the washed apple to Brian. She didn't say anything more.
Brian took the apple she handed and gently put back the fruit basket. Then he stood up, looked down at Kate, turned around and left.
There was only Kate left in the empty hall. She stared blankly at Brian's disappearing figure.
She could never guess what he was thinking. All his thoughts were traceless and he was even further hidden than Colin.
Standing in the hall for a long time, Kate staggered back to the bedroom. The light of the small study was on. She stood at the door of the study and just saw the side face of Brian, who was looking at his computer.
Facing the incandescent light, his handsome side face became more angular, which was difficult to figure out.
Kate's eyes darkened. She turned around and left.
After taking a shower, Kate went back to the bed. She felt drowsy and soon fell asleep when her head just touched the pillow.
After a long time, she felt someone lie down beside her and then the man held her in his arms. Kate didn't think who he was, but she hugged him back out of instinct.
"Kitten, don't be too smart. And don't get too involved in the Li family's affairs." In a trance, Kate seemed to hear someone talking to her, both real and illusory.
When Kate woke up, she found that Brian was gone, which made her wonder if he had slept last night. But his smell left on the bed told Kate that he was with her all the time.
"Are you awake?" Brian had finished washing and went out of the bathroom.
Kate rubbed her eyes and nodded.
"Honey, I'm not going to the company today. Take care of yourself." Holding her face in his hands, Brian kissed her on the forehead and said gently.
Kate nodded.
Brian left with satisfaction.
Kate got up slowly after Brian leaving. Brian's birthday was coming in a few days
She didn't decided what to be sent Brian. Kate looked at herself in the mirror, whose hair was also in a mess. She scratched her messy hair irritably. She sent a scarf to William ten years ago, but William was different from Brian.
When she came to the hall, Lily had already got up. Lily couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Kate's pale face.
"What are you laughing at?" Kate rolled her eye at Lily, who was also in a low spirit. They were two birds of a feather.
"Are you ready for the gift?" Lily asked.
Kate shook her head honestly, "No."
"Alas, can't you just be a little more concerned about my brother?" Lily then began to said as if she was Brian's mother. Kate gave Lily an angry stare. They didn't even have the time to think about a gift since they met Mike?
Sensing the deep sorrow in Kate's eyes, Lily thought she was in the wrong. She coughed and asked, "are you going to work later?"
Kate leaned against the sofa and nodded.
"I'll go with you." Lily said at once, "it's so boring staying here."
Kate nodded dizzily again.
"Lily, are you still thinking about Uncle Wang?" Kate turned to her and asked.
Lily nodded. "Apart from wondering where Dad might be, I was also thinking about the diary. What was written on it?"
Kate smiled and said, "aha, I didn't expect that you would also think about such a question."
