Chapter 61 Confess Everything
When sitting by Alston, Cynthia noticed that he was carrying a big bag. She asked curiously, “What’s in the bag?”
Alston drew his hands back nervously and his ears were slightly red. He stuffed the big bag directly into her arms.
Cynthia was confused. The bag was hand–painted in cartoon and it looked a little strange when it was carried by an indifferent and handsome guy like Alston.
When she opened the bag, she saw all kinds of snacks inside, including chips, various candies, dried fruit,
and so on.
Cynthia froze for a moment. She suddenly remembered that she told Helen this morning that she didn’t like the hospital’s cooking and wanted to have some snacks.
Then Alston brought them to her in the afternoon!
“You… you bought it for me?”
Alston’s ears turned even redder as if they were going to bleed. “I… I bought them on the way here.”
Cynthia felt warm in her heart. Then she suddenly thought of something. She grabbed the bag tightly and asked, “You… also often buy for Hulda?”
“How could it be!” Alston’s eyes were full of disgust.
Cynthia realized something was wrong. She said, “Don’t you like her?”
Alston pursed his lips and told her every detail about his previous thoughts and plans.
Cynthia was dumbfounded. Her mouth was half open and her face was full of surprise. After hearing everything, her eyes looked a little strange. Then she subconsciously said, “Alston, you are a genius!”
She had been sad for so many days and her heart had been broken again and again. In the end, everything
was fake. Alston acted purposely for others.
“Did you learn it from the novel? How did you ever think of that?”
Alston was ashamed and annoyed. Seeing she was about to say something again, he pulled her into his
arms and kissed her. After so many days of longing, he gave her a kiss. After the first kiss, it seemed not
enough for him. Then he kissed her deeply and couldn’t stop.
A kid who was squatting on the lawn and playing at the side stared blankly at the two of them. He pulled the hem of his mother’s clothes and shouted tenderly, “Mommy, they are kissing. Kissing!”
When his mother turned her head to see this scene, she blushed and hurriedly left with holding her child.
Cynthia was so ashamed to be kissed by him in public. Her face was flushed, and even her neck was pink, which looked very alluring.
Alston’s eyes were gleaming. He asked, “You will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow?”
Cynthia nodded slightly.
Alston’s eyes became more earnest. “Then go home! Is that okay?”
He hadn’t hugged her to sleep for a long time. He missed her so much.
Cynthia understood the hint in his words and nodded gently again. Her face became redder.
“Sorry for making you so sad these days. I’ve already handled Ivan. He and his father won’t make trouble in
the next few years. You don’t have to be afraid. To make up for you, I’ll do whatever you want me to do in the
future.”
With Alston’s confession and apology, her suspicion and pain for many days disappeared instantly.
Cynthia felt relieved. She pointed to the bag of chips and said softly, “I want to eat this. Open it for me.”
Alston smiled fondly and opened the bag for her. Cynthia leaned in his arms and ate the chips.
They talked sweetly in low voices and didn’t notice a pair of vicious eyes not far behind them.
Hulda was wearing a trench coat. Her hat and mask completely covered her face, leaving only a pair of eyes,
which were full of viciousness.
She had no choice but to go back to her family. When she had some money, her parents and her brother ingratiated themselves with her and said they were a family. But when they saw that she was kicked out and
penniless, their despicable attitude came back again.
Her dad scolded her for being useless for she couldn’t even handle a man. Although her mother didn’t behave obviously, she was indifferent to Hulda. As for Burnell, he took every chance to laugh at her and even hit her.
She could see the disgust in their eyes. But she had nowhere to go and could only endure it.
She told herself that as long as she found a job, she would live out and leave the Taylor family. But when she went for interviews with her resume, no company was willing to take her.
Hulda didn’t give in. She came back from abroad and worked in the Smith Group. It should be easy to find a
job.
Later, a person in charge of a company sympathized with her and told her some information.
It turned out that Alston had already warned all the companies in Fort that they couldn’t hire her. He was
