Eating the familiar midnight snack, Yolande looked at Baron and pursed her lips. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "thank you..."
Baron put down the bowl in his hand and looked at Yolande, which made her a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and went to eat the midnight snack.
"There are reasons for her to grow up like this."
"What?"
Hearing what he said, Yolande was confused and stunned. "What do you mean?"
Leaning against the sofa lazily, Baron said slowly, "with Alex around, you will gain weight soon."
"Fatten me up?" After eating the midnight snack, Yolande pursed her lips and said, "why do you keep fat? I still want to lose weight. "
"It doesn't hurt to hold a fat woman." Baron said without looking up.
"Are you holding me?" Yolande repeated it, and her face flushed. She thought to herself, 'you only hugged me once, and it was a one night stand. Can you still remember me so clearly?'
Baron nodded seriously, "yes."
Yolande was rendered speechless. Looking at the serious look on Baron's face, she hesitated for a while and changed the topic. "Don't think that I will forgive you because you have arranged Alex."
"Do I need your forgiveness?" He rolled his eyes and glanced at Yolande.
"You don't believe me," said Yolande angrily, waiting for Baron, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. Why don't you let me explain to them..."
"Can you made it clear?" Baron interrupted Yolande and hit the nail on the head.
"I..."
Yolande opened her mouth but couldn't answer. She pursed her lips. What she had thought in the car just now made her feel scared. Moreover, even if she didn't do anything, Jennifer still believed in her daughter, an outsider, which was obvious.
"All right." Yolande sighed and lowered her eyes. These were not the most sad things. She said slowly, "what about you? Do you believe me? "
Time seemed to stand still, and the whole world seemed to fall into deathly silence.
Yolande raised her head slowly and looked at Baron. He was expressionless and there was no emotion in his eyes. She didn't know what he was thinking, and she didn't want to know either. She had got the answer. Obviously, it was not what she wanted.
Yolande stood up slowly, turned around and went upstairs. Yolande, like a kitten, went back to her bedroom without making any noise and was about to close the door gently. Only then did she find that Baron was standing at the stairway, leaning against the railing and looking at her.
"Have a good rest. Alex will prepare your favorite breakfast."
Yolande tried to smile, but it was uglier than crying. When she wanted to speak, she found that her voice was a little choked. She could only nod, and then slowly closed the door.
"Yolande."
Before the door was completely closed, Baron's voice came through. His voice was very low, but the door seemed to tremble and stop. Yolande's little face was particularly clear in the narrow crack of the door. She looked down at her toes.
"Good night."
Baron uttered only two simple words. The door was closed gently, and the inner and outer worlds were separated into two worlds.
Looking at the closed door, Baron pursed his lips into a straight line, and his eyes were as deep as a pool of water, unfathomable. He held the hands on the railing tightly until his knuckles turned pale. Then he slowly turned around and went back to his room.
Inside the door, Yolande leaned against the door, her eyes filled with tears again. Just now when he called her name, she thought he would give her a satisfactory answer, but she did not expect that it was just "good night".
It turned out that he still didn't believe her. What's more, she cared so much about his trust!
He took away the Mu Mansion. She should hate him to the core.
However, the worship of her mother and grandfather, the celebration of her birthday, the unexpected scene on the rooftop, and the necklace were still on her neck. He doted on her, but unfortunately, he only doted on her. nothing more!
There was not even the most basic trust between them!
Tears finally welled up in her eyes. Yolande leaned against the door and slowly slid down. She held her shoulders and buried her head between her knees. She was really stupid and naive!
They were a family, and she was just an outsider. Even for Baron, marrying her was only because the Mu Mansion!
Her heart was as painful as a knife. It took her a long time to slowly stand up, but she just moved because she had maintained a posture for too long. She was stiff and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Well..."
Yolande cried out in a low voice. Her forehead hit the sofa, which was so painful that stars were shining in front of her eyes. Her little face was distorted. She rubbed her forehead and before she could sit up, she heard the door open and her strong arm pulled her up.
"Who..."
When Yolande was about to shout, the light was on. The man in front of her made her swallow back what she was about to say. Baron?
"If you don't turn on the light, it's normal to fall down." Baron pressed Yolande on the sofa and frowned at the wound on her forehead.
"I'm fine." Yolande moved a little away from him in a fit of pique. "Why are you here?"
