Chapter 328 He Told Her That He Was Just Tired of Playing 1
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Kaleb came to pick him up.
After getting into the car, Kaleb couldn't help but joke, "You look so spirited and energetic today!"
Kenneth smiled restrainedly and said, "My little girl's so needy that I'm not energetic at all. It's just tiring!"
Kaleb smiled vaguely.
...
After the meeting, Kenneth came out with a very pale look.
Kaleb greeted him and whispered, "What's the matter?"
"Let's talk about it in the car!"
When he got into the car, Kenneth pulled up the window curtains before taking a light breath and saying, "Do you remember the project six months ago?"
Kaleb's gaze was burning.
Kenneth gently unbuttoned a button on his shirt and suppressed his voice, saying, "I recommended the Joshua! But today's meeting news showed that both Joshua and his wife have died in an unknown car accident!"
Kaleb remained in a daze for a long time without any response.
Kenneth lowered his head and lit a cigarette, but his fingers were trembling and it took him a long time to take a sip. What he didn't tell Kaleb was that the bodies of Joshua and his wife both had obvious bruises!
In the end, Joshua saved the data with the lives of him and his wife.
Projects always required someone to take over.
Kenneth was the designated person, and this time he was duty-bound and unable to refuse.
He held the cigarette with trembling fingers, slowly smoking it. With the other hand, he felt for the velvet box in his pocket. He was supposed to propose to Eloise today, but he would get married after the New Year...
But now, could he still propose?
The appearance of Joshua's wife's tragic death lingered in his mind and he couldn't forget it!
Although he did not explain, Kaleb had already guessed from his extensive knowledge.
He remained silent.
At this moment, the black Audi experienced a violent impact and Kenneth in the back seat collided forward...
The car stopped, and a man in black rode his bicycle in front of him, looking into the car with a light and ethereal gaze that seemed to have perspective function.
The driver cursed and wanted to get off.
Kenneth suppressed his headache and stopped him, "Don't get off the car!"
It would be even more dangerous!
Sure enough, seeing that people in the car didn't took any action, the man rode the bicycle away.
Kaleb climbed up to the back seat and checked Kenneth's injury, "Mr. Ryan, are you okay?"
Kenneth covered his waist and abdomen: A rib should be broken.
He didn't have a trace of expression on his face and said fiercely, "Just after we had a meeting, they received the news. This overseas company was really rampant!"
He wanted to find these people and avenge for Joshua and his wife, but at this moment he had to protect himself first.
His phone rang.
It was Eloise calling, and Kenneth hesitated to pick it up. He spoke softly, "Eloise, there's something urgent in Vadiff, I have to go back first!"
How disappointed was Eloise...
Kenneth knew clearly deep down.
But now how dared he go to the apartment? Many pairs of eyes were watching him.
He gently coaxed her for a while.
After hanging up the phone. he instructed Kaleb, "Let someone watch her until she comes home safely."
Kaleb nodded.
That night, Kenneth was admitted to a private hospital in Vadiff. He broke a rib and had a concussion. He should have had a good rest, but he couldn't sleep at all. He stood at the window smoking until it was mostly midnight.
At four o'clock in the morning, Kaleb came in after finishing his work.
He saw Kenneth standing smoking and immediately exclaimed, "Why are you still smoking after being so seriously injured? Lie down and rest quickly. The doctor said you need to lie down for at least a week."
He helped him lie down and said, "It was a truth that you can never get all your work finished."
As the words fell, he saw the diamond ring in Kenneth's finger and fell silent for a moment.
Kenneth leaned against the bedside and smiled bitterly, "Kaleb, I'm in such an old age but I'm still dating a little girl! It have been four years, what will I be like after four years? Although I always say that Eloise is young, she's already 28 years old. After four years, she's already in her early thirties... How could she spend so much time with an old man like me."
Besides, he really couldn't bear to imagine what would happen when those lunatics knew about Eloise.
He couldn't take risks!
Kaleb dared not say a word more, as he knew that Mr. Ryan was in a difficult situation.
Kenneth only stayed in the hospital for three days.
On the day of discharge, Eloise called him. He silently watched for a long time before gently hanging it up.
When he hung it up, his heart ached.
He thought that his little girl must not know that her Uncle Ryan no longer wanted her.
She must had cried!
...
Kenneth began to distance himself from her.
With his experience and skills, it was an easy task to manipulate that little girl. He did not suddenly cool her down, but gradually became indifferent. While torturing her, he himself also suffered deeply.
After the New Year, he busied himself and resumed his previous life.
He had gradually gained contact with Mr. Robinson again.
Kenneth, change back to the former Mr. Ryan.
It was early spring.
One New Year, Eloise lost several pounds. She couldn't reach Kenneth very much. Occasionally she got through the phone, which was also answered by Kaleb.
Kaleb's tone was always sorry.
No matter how dull a person was, she could feel his alienation, but she didn't have the courage to run to him to question. She could only frequently run to the apartment and wait for him eagerly.
Sometimes she waited for a whole day and forget to eat.
On Valentine's Day, she saw the news of Mr. Ryan.
He supported Violet in the Opera Garden. After she finished singing, she changed into a very beautiful dress. Kenneth held her by the waist and stood together with her, looking like a right match.
The newspaper slipped from her hand...
It turned out that he was in Gredax but he refused to meet her.
