Gloria Taylor stared at the gloomy and hazy “Leon Clarke” in front of her. She caught a glimpse of his wounded hand and stared in surprise, “You…”
She didn’t put anything strange to the food. Why did he go out hurting himself like that?
Kenny Clarke ignored her. He just walked past by. Suddenly, his phone rang.
He glanced the strange number and immediately hung up the phone.
He looked up at Gloria Taylor, “Go in.” he said coldly.
He sounded depressed and gloomy.
Gloria Taylor felt that “Leon Clarke” was being scary. She walked into the room. She was holding the door handle hesitating whether she should close the door and shut the man out or not.
This time, a number appeared on his screen and it was not a strange one. It was from Shi Ye.
He didn’t hesitate to pick up the phone. He didn’t care that Gloria Taylor was there. He asked, “Why is he looking for me?”
“He wants you to take his daughter-in-law home for dinner tonight.” Said the man across the phone.
“Oh!” Kenny Clarke sneered, “You don’t need to take his call again next time.”
Shi Ye was convinced, “Right. He doesn’t even pay me.”
He hung up the phone and looked up at Gloria Taylor who was still standing by the door, hesitating.
“Are you eavesdropping?”
Gloria Taylor shook her head and hurriedly replied, “No.”
She felt that she better not provoke him right now.
“Why don’t you go inside?” he asked as he approached her. He slightly nodded his head to look at her, “Or, have it think it through that you’re willing to give up my cousin and get together with me?”
When Gloria Taylor heard him speaking like that, without hesitation, she turned around and closed the door.
Kenny Clarke looked flatly at the ruthlessly closed door.
