Chapter 316 Crying in Uncle Ryan's Arms (2)
Eloise ran away when Kenneth teased her.
Kenneth didn't leave immediately.
He sat in his car and slowly smoked a cigarette, watching the slender figure disappear behind the black carved gate and dart off into the night.
He couldn't help but think of someone.
It was his sister, Madeline.
Madeline died at a young age, and was unable to see her family before she died, which became a twinge in Kenneth's heart.
He had seen Madelyn's picture.
Madelyn looked very much like the Ryan family, with pale skin and long tawny hair.
But in terms of temperament, Kenneth saw Madeline in Eloise.
But Eloise seemed a little dumber than Madeline.
Kenneth held a cigarette in his long fingers but forgot to puff on it. When the long ash fell onto his pants, he smiled forlornly and quietly.
What was wrong with him today? He had just run into a mischievous girl.
But why was he so sad?
Kenneth sat there for a long time before starting the car and heading back to the hotel. He got back to his suite and saw Kaleb pacing the room frantic as an ant on a hot griddle. As soon as Kaleb saw him coming back, he walked up to him hurriedly and pretended to blame him, "How could you go out alone? What if something happened to you..."
Kenneth sat down on the sofa.
Even though he was extremely tired, he was still poised and graceful without a trace of dishevelment.
He grabbed a throw pillow and was about to put it back, but then he suddenly smelled it.
There was a faint scent on it.
It wasn't perfume, but simply the body odor of a girl.
It was sweet and smelled like orange...
Kenneth raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "If something happens to me, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to get rid of this big mess? You don't even know how tired I am of meeting so many people every day and being upset about stuff like that!"
Kaleb poured Kenneth a cup of coffee and listened patiently to his complaints.
Kaleb knew that Kenneth would only say such things in front of him.
Kenneth was always unassailable in front of outsiders.
After saying a few words, Kenneth got ready to take a shower.
Kaleb put Kenneth's shirt away and said, "Should I ask Ms. Harris to come over and keep you company?"
By Ms. Harris, Kaleb meant Violet.
Violet was a famous actress in theatrical circles, with a pretty face and a shapely body. She and Kenneth were hitting it off. Kenneth sometimes sought her out for company.
Kenneth was heading to the bathroom and thought for a few seconds. "Forget it! I'm not in the mood!"
Kaleb followed him, and said softly, "You're all bottled up sometimes!"
Kaleb was right.
Kenneth turned around and said in a teasing tone, "Did Violet ask you to be a lobbyist? She's all right except that she's a smart-ass! She's beautiful, but I feel like I'm doing some social things when I spend time with her, which is exhausting!"
Kaleb did not answer.
It was indeed Violet, the beautiful actress, who softly begged Kaleb to say a few nice words about her in front of Kenneth. Kaleb thought she was great, but it was up to Kenneth, wasn't it? Apparently, Kenneth didn't think much of her right now.
The sound of water running came from the bathroom...
Kaleb wisely left, thinking, "Well, men in their early 40s have some personal things to sort out."
That was the case with Kenneth.
After the passion had subsided, he braced one hand against the tiled wall of the bathroom and lowered his head to rinse himself off.
Obviously, he had a sex drive. There were beautiful women waiting for him, but he was just not in the mood... When he had just released his sexual impulses, the image that came to his mind was Eloise kneeling on the sofa.
Eloise was so innocent and didn't know anything about men!
...
At the Clarks' mansion.
Eloise took a nap.
When she woke up, there was her older brother, Benjamin, sitting by her bed.
She moved over, leaned her head on Benjamin's lap, and called out softly, "Benjamin, how are things with Madelyn?"
Benjamin pinched her face. "Madelyn is still your sister-in-law."
In fact, when Madelyn's relationship with Daniel came to light, his father didn't approve of them being together. After all, the relationship was too complex, and as a father, it was not good to favor one child over another.
