She Killed My Ex novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 The Past, The Secrets 

When Caroline was dumbfounded, Bentley reached out a hand to stroke her hair and said, “Okay. I’ll order take-outs.” 

When the take-outs were delivered to the office, Caroline was still in a trance. She carefully took a glance at Bentley who was standing before the windows. This was the first time that she saw Bentley make a concession. 

When they ate the take-outs, Bentley compelled Caroline to finish half a bowl of soup. 

“Why didn’t you drink soup? Is it because it’s not good?” 

She hadn’t drunk any soup yet. 

Bentley scooped a bowl of soup for her and put it before her. 

But Caroline was still hesitant and didn’t intend to drink the soup. 

He kept compelling her. In the end, she sluggishly picked up the small bowl and spoon and began to drink the soup. 

Nonetheless… 

Bentley shifted his gaze from her hand and her bowl. Then he gradually understood something. He snatched the bowl and the spoon from her and swiftly picked out the scallions drifting on the soup. Then he quietly stuffed the bowl of soup back into her hand. 

He just looked at her silently. Caroline’s heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head and began to drink the soup, wishing so much that she could stuff her head into the bowl. She didn’t even use a spoon this time. 

“If you don’t like something, you must say it out,” he said in a bland, low voice. 

Caroline’s hand which was holding the bowl shivered slightly. If it wasn’t that the soup in the bowl had been finished, it would have spilled on her hand. She raised her head and glanced at the man sitting opposite her. She wanted to tell him that she didn’t like him and asked him if he could let go of her. 

He said if she didn’t like something, she must say it out. But was it useful to say it out? 

She bowed her head again and curled up her lips into her smile. She thought both of them were sarcastic at this moment. 

She was obsessed with him and loved him so crazily before, but he only found her annoying. Especially after Winnie’s death, not to mention sitting at the same table and having lunch together peacefully, he could even pick out the scallions in her bowl after doing those things to her. It was as if there was never a murder case or love and hatred between them. 

Now that he hated her, why did he do those thoughtful things for her? His behaviors made it seem as if he loved her very much. However, if he really loved her, why was he so cruel to her back then? Why did he throw her into that dark prison? After three years, she gradually lost the courage to show her affection for him because of her fright and hatred toward him. 

The best ending for them was that they turned into strangers and would never meet again. At least, Caroline thought so. 

For the rest afternoon, Bentley was dealing with the company’s matters sitting behind the desk, while Caroline was reading books on the couch. 

If one didn’t know about their entanglements, he or she would think this scene peaceful and beautiful.
