Devil President's Night Bride novel Chapter 270

"Why don't you wear one more coat?" Lionel couldn't help asking when he walked in.

"Not too cold." When she spoke, her voice was as usual, but once she was so lively and quiet, like a stream running down along the splendid mountains. Now she was quiet and calm, like a pool of deep water.

Lionel's heart ached. What had she experienced that made her change so much in this period of time?

In fact, the reason why she became like this was not because she was hit, but because she had seen through it. She might be like a poor beggar. She had nothing at the beginning, so she was free without scruple. One day she suddenly got a precious crystal cup, and she treated it as a treasure. She was happy every day. Sometimes she was worried that she would lose it, but at last she accidentally broke the crystal cup and after the shock of pain, she felt happy and satisfied for what she had once had. Although she had returned to the past life of nothing, she had a beautiful memory which made her feel very calm and satisfied at this time.

If she couldn't see through it, she would sigh every day, regret for her own carelessness. She would wish she could go back to the old days, when she had never got the crystal cup. Many people would feel pity for losing something important. Without that, they would regret for what they should have got. As for gamblers, they would regret for missing something that they were supposed to get. After everything going away, he or she would cry bitterly and regretted at once.

The reason why Amanda was able to see through this was that she had already lost too much. A warrior who was used to being hurt was fine with new scars.

"Would you like something to drink?" Amanda asked. She needed nutrition every day. So she had regular meals. That was the basic principle. It was not the right time for her to drink to forget everything.

"Give me a glass of milk, too," Lionel replied.

Amanda poured him a glass of milk and sat on the couch. "When did you come back?"

"Just now." He looked at her. She was wearing simple home decoration. It was natural for her to stay in the hotel.

Then she smiled and said, "It seems that the sunshine in America is very good and your skin looks healthy. Where is Josie? Did you come back together?"

"She went home first." Lionel felt bad when he heard Amanda mention Josie's name. He wanted to ask Amanda about her situation, but he didn't know how to start.

"Have you seen the news? It's really a big news." Amanda knew why he came here.

"I will talk to Darren and ask him. He is going too far!" Lionel replied.

"No, don't do this," Amanda refused politely.
