Leon's stomach rumbled: "When will you cook, Cousin?"
"Never." Gloria turned and went back to the room. She was already scared by Kenny, and did not need eat! Last night she spent the night with Leon in an internet bar, and she was not hungry at all now, just sleepy. Kenny refused to let her go, and even threw away the beds in her room, and the other rooms were basically without any furniture. She could only sleep in the master bedroom now. She didn't believe Kenny could force her! When she returned to the bedroom, Kenny had gone. Gloria took off her coat and climbed onto the bed directly.
...
She slept for a long time, and it was already evening when she woke up again. The stomach was empty and she felt hungry. She went downstairs and found that there was no one in the hall. Gloria went to the kitchen to find food for herself. She made spaghetti for herself. Suddenly, she heard Leon's howl outside: "Gloria, I don't want to go to school!" "..." Gloria took a bite of spaghetti calmly, wiping off with a napkin and then going to the hall. In the hall, Leon was sitting on the ground crying while holding Kenny's legs. But there were no tears on his face. After seeing Gloria coming out, he ran straight to hug Gloria and cried, "I don't want to go to school..."
Kenny came over with poker-faced attitude; reached out and threw Leon aside, and said coldly: "It's useless to ask for her. Since my aunt has entrusted you to me, I will naturally discipline you well." He bit a bit hard on the word, "discipline". And Leon felt his scalp tighten. "You should have gone to school since you were so young, what are you crying for?" Gloria felt no problem with Kenny's words. After all, she had seen how wild Leon was. However, Leon's performance in front of Kenny surprised her a bit. It's just like the mouse that saw the cat.
Leon shook his head and looked at Gloria sadly: "You don't understand." Kenny's discipline was to keep him from playing games and giving him pocket money... Anyway, everything he wanted to do, Kenny would not give his permission. he couldn't escape Kenny's control in any way he wanted, just like living in purgatory. If he knew that he would end up being disciplined by Kenny after he ran back to China, he would never come back! Finally, Leon knew that he had to accept this reality and then went upstairs.
As soon as he left, Gloria turned back to the kitchen and continued to eat her own spaghetti. Kenny walked in behind her: "No matter how Leon pretends to be pitiful in front of you, don't help him." Gloria sneered: "Oh, no, of course it's pretended." After all, she had pitied Kenny before. Kenny naturally heard the sarcasm in her tone. He frowned slightly, apparently very dissatisfied with Gloria's sarcasm. He felt that although he had lied to Gloria, what he was doing now was to compensate for the previous deception. He did not feel that there was anything unforgivable to him. Gloria was stirring the spaghetti with a fork, eating slowly, and no longer pay attention to Kenny. Kenny gave her a deep look and turned to go out.
