Chapter 9 How Was Your Night Yesterday
A small tube of anti-inflammatory ointment was lying on the servant's hand. When Elianna saw the indication and administration, her ears turned red. And the heat did not dissipate until she arrived in the memorial hall.
Even though it was a memorial ceremony at home, it was grand. Among the yellow and white bouquets were the photos of Jefferson's parents.
The Larsen family had never disclosed the cause of their death. And it was rumored that they had been killed in a riot abroad.
As soon as Elianna stood still, she met Joyce’s angry eyes and saw her frown in dissatisfaction. But she could not scold Elianna in front of so many people, so she turned her head away after giving a hard look.
Standing next to Elianna, Asher scolded her in a low voice, "Are you embarrassing me on purpose? Other people have all arrived early. Kenley has been busy working with my mom for an entire morning. But you were sleeping late in the bedroom. Why are you so lazy and rude?"
Kenley was walking through the crowd with a tray and serving coffee to the elders.
Seeing this, Elianna mocked, "She is indeed capable. She works day and night. I can't hold a candle to her."
"If you say such words again, I will..."
Asher suddenly fell silent because Brice and Jefferson came. Jefferson looked normal as if he had not been injured at all.
The crowd automatically separated to make way for them, so Elianna followed suit. When Jefferson passed by, she scented the smell of smoke mixed with grass on his body, and her heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, he stood still. Brice walking in front also stopped his steps and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"
Elianna’s hair stood on end. If Jefferson said anything outrageous now, she would have a heart attack on the spot.
Jefferson's gaze flicked past Elianna and landed on Asher when he said, "Asher."
When facing Jefferson, Asher didn't show any arrogance but tremblingly replied, "Jeff."
Jefferson laughed, "How was your night yesterday?"
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Asher.
"Last night, I..."
He had had sex with Kenley all night. Elianna had been next door, so the excitement had intoxicated him.
Why had Jefferson brought this up? He had not expected Jefferson to care about his affairs. But his actions could not be analyzed according to common sense.
Asher's mind was a mess, and Kenley also felt scared. So, their faces were both gloomy.
When Asher was about to pass out, Jefferson tapped his neck with his finger and leisurely said, "It seems you had a passionate night."
Asher's face instantly turned pale when he covered his neck.
Kenley had deliberately left a live bite in his neck to irritate Elianna and had never unexpected Jefferson to notice it. She was shaky but soon realized that no one would know it was her that had left the love bite as long as she did not admit it.
Sure enough, everyone turned to look at Elianna. And Joyce wished she could eat Elianna alive.
Elianna became a scapegoat, so she glared at Jefferson's figure who was leaving leisurely. She was so angry that she almost had a blackout.
-
The memorial ceremony began at a quarter past nine.
After a lengthy beginning speech, the members of the Larsen family came forward to mourn one by one.
Everyone else looked heartbroken and lamented the couple who had died young, but Jefferson had a playful smile on his lips, looking like an outsider.
Kenley wanted to impress others, so she cried loudly after putting down the flowers.
She had been busy preparing for the ceremony this morning, so many people had praised her.
Seeing her crying so badly, a person sighed, "Kenley is pure and kind."
