Heart Hunting novel Chapter 26

The stairwell is extremely quiet. Kenny stands by, leaving enough room for the sisters.

"I'm afraid your mother will be disappointed when she knows I come back alive." Poppy sneers.

"Sister Poppy, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother and sister Ethel." Sheila is the youngest daughter of the Greens. She is the most treasured daughter of Hilda and Bryant. If anyone in the Greens has a little conscience, it would only be this half sister.

"What did you mean she isn't dead? Who wants to kill her? You mother and Ethel?" Kenny is silent listening for a long time. When thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help asking.

Sheila looks at Kenny a little bit scared and lower her head."I overheard my mother calling before for several times. My mom has sent killers to kill sister Poppy abroad. And now she also keeps looking for sister Poppy."

Sheila shrugs her shoulders in dispirited. "I was not able to help sister Poppy..."

Sheila's personality is naive and pure, which is totally different from her mother and her sister Ethel. Poppy often doubts whether this girl is Hilda's daughter or not. How can she not be like her mother's arrogant and domineering temperament at all?

Poppy had been at their house for ten years, and this little girl helped her a lot. Five years ago, When Ethel set s trap for Poppy. Sheila told Poppy the news, that's why Poppy could prepare in advance to fight against with Ethel, and finally got Kenny involved.

Poppy pats Shelia on the shoulder. "It doesn't matter. I'm OK now," she says.

"It's so great! But sister, you must be careful. If my mother knows you are back, she will not let go of you."

Poppy nods, "now is different from the past. I will not be trampled on the bottom of their feet again. I have been enough hiding for five years!"

"And she has me now." Kenny adds proudly.

Poppy gives Kenny a contemptuous look, and says to Sheila, "Ignore him. Shelia, leave us as soon as possible, just remember, you haven't seen me. But there will be great changes in your family in the future. Don't care about anything, just study hard, OK?"

Sheila got it and nods. "OK, I will, sister Poppy."

"Go."

As soon as Sheila leaves the stairwell, Kenny pushes Poppy against the wall and stares at her. "It seems that you have had a wonderful life during the past five years abroad!"

Poppy chuckles, "yep, it's really wonderful!"

It's so wonderful that she will never forget, and that she won't easily believe others from then on! Those killers pretended to be her friends. She has enough of the feeling of betrayed by friends.

"When will you tell me the story?" Kenny is curious about her experience of the past five years. Why did Hilda kill her? Is there any secret in the Greens?

Poppy's lack of interest. She pushes him away. "It’s my privacy. None of your business."

"Privacy?" Kenny seems to hear a big joke. He raises her chin, and his eyes become sharp. Then he says with a extremely serious tone."You use me to deal with Ethel again and again, now you have me involved, you must tell me the truth!"

They look at each other. Kenny looks at her calm but sharp eyes, wondering what kind of experience it is to make her eyes so calm but sharp at every moment, which reminds him of the thorny rose.

They look at each other for a long while. At last, Poppy takes the lead to break the silence. She smiles,"I'm starving now. I don't have strength to talk."

"Then go to my house. I'll make you delicious food." Kenny naturally hugs her.

Poppy says teasingly,"go to your house and visit those entertainment reporters?"

"Isn't that you who make my house surrounded by entertainment reporters?" Kenny retorts, smiles more indulgently, and continues saying,"Come with me. I'll take you to a safe place with a good chef."

"Where?" It's her turn to ask curiously.

Kenny looks at her beautiful face and can’t help pinching it.
