Kate's arms were getting sore, but Nora didn't take the fruit basket from her. 'Okay, it looks like they don't want it,' she thought.
"Bang!" The beautiful fruit basket was thrown by Kate onto the trash can in the hallway, and the fruits spilled out, rolling on the ground. No one dared to pick them up.
"You take your things back yourself. If Cheyenne wants to eat something, I'll buy it for her. Who knows if you've poisoned the things you gave her?"
"You!" Sean raised his fist and rushed towards Cheyenne but was stopped by Nora before he could reach her.
"Okay Sean, we've made our point. It's Cheyenne's decision not to see us. Let's go."
"Nora..."
"Let's go!"
Nora's hatred towards Cheyenne was even stronger than Sean's, but with so many people around, she didn't want to do anything stupid against Cheyenne to embarrass herself.
There will be plenty of time in future when she can catch Cheyenne at a low point; just wait for that day.
"What happened? Cheyenne." A gentle voice as soft as water sounded behind everyone present; this clear and melodious voice refreshed everyone's ears.
Turning around, they saw a man walking towards them with morning light shining on him; he wore a loose white long T-shirt paired with black linen wide-leg pants which complemented his shoulder-length silky hair that shone golden under the morning sun rays.
His beauty surpassed that of any woman.
The tranquility and serenity emanating from him made her look like a character stepping out of a painting.
However, such an outstanding man is actually blind!
His eyes are crystal-like bright yet empty inside; his eyeballs do not move but one can feel tenderness coming through them.
Amongst the crowd, there were many who have attended Benson's concerts before; their excited voices rang out "Oh my god! Isn't this Benson?"
One after another affirmative replies followed:
"Yes! I've seen him before! He looks even more handsome in person than on TV!"
"He has such an artist temperament."
"Well, he is an artist."
Nora also looked up at him in disbelief. "Benson?"
Previously, the Gibbs family lived next door to the Lawrence Villa. Benson's father was a university history professor while his mother was a famous stage actress.
Benson's upbringing was strict.
She remembered when she was still attending elementary school there would always be a pretty little boy coming over to play at their house...
The little boy would always hold her hand and play the piano together, and he would weave all kinds of small animals out of grass for her.
Once, they even put a caterpillar in Cheyenne's pencil case, causing her to open it in class and scare the other children when the caterpillar crawled out.
One of the children was unlucky. He had a hereditary congenital heart disease, which nobody knew about.
This scare caused that child to faint on the spot and be hospitalized.
Cheyenne was made to stand in detention by her teacher. Later, the child's parents found their way to the Lawrence Villa, and her father, furious, gave her a good scolding.
She remembered clearly that it was raining that night. Mr. Gibbs carried Benson by the collar and held a black umbrella as they arrived at the Lawrence Villa.
"Kneel down!"
The clothes on the little boy were soaked by the rain, and it was unclear whether the drops on his delicate and fair face were tears or raindrops.
