Although Natalia was very curious about what the surprise was, seeing that Connie was still crying so sadly, she had to put down the question first.
"Don't be sad. You can't be blamed for what happened this time."
Natalia comforted Connie and asked her at the same time.
"But who is the man who splashed your paint today? Did your family encounter any trouble?"
Connie stopped wiping her tears.
In fact, she didn't want everyone to know the relationship between her and Steve, but now, she couldn't hide it anymore.
After thinking for a while, she decided to tell everything.
After Connie spoke, the whole lounge fell silent and listened to her story quietly.
Perhaps because she had cried last time, Connie did not lose her composure this time. Her tone was particularly calm, with a hint of self-mockery.
However, Natalia and the others felt even worse.
While Connie was giving instructions, Green also caught up with Richeal.
"Richeal."
At this moment, Richeal was standing in front of her office's French windows, her back facing Green as she looked downstairs.
She didn't turn around when she heard Green's voice. She didn't even respond.
Green gently closed the door.
"Did something happen?"
Richeal finally turned her head and swept her gaze across Green.
"What are you doing here?"
"When will York return?" Green didn't answer.
Richeal frowned slightly and said in a bad tone, "How would I know about him? If you want to know, why not contact him directly?"
"Why was you so angry? Did he make you unhappy? "
Green approached him with a smile, sat down on the sofa, and then made tea for Richeal fluently.
Richeal snorted and said, "Why did you involve him for no reason? I thought you came here to apologize to me."
"Shouldn't you apologize to me before I apologize?"
Richeal looked at her with uncertainty.
Green calmly poured her a cup of freshly brewed tea and pushed it in her direction.
"Shouldn't you apologize to me after your venting of anger to the people around me because of your personal emotions?"
"York was the one who provoked you. If you vented your anger on me, then I would be wronged. It had been terrible that I had been scolded in the trending search, and I would have been scolded by you when I came back. It's normal for me to be a little emotional, right?"
"What's more, you scolded me so much. I just retorted with a few words and didn't get angry with you."
Richeal was so angry that she laughed. "You still want to get angry with me?"
Green rubbed her nose and said softly, "Do I dare?"
"I think you have nothing to fear."
After Richeal finished speaking, she walked over and sat opposite her.
Green quickly revealed a fawning smile and pointed in the direction of the teacup. "Drink some tea to calm down."
Richeal swept her eyes over Green, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"It tastes good," Richeal commented.
The two of them didn't express their feelings. Their conflict just now had dissipated in this cup of tea.
"I know that you don't really want to scold me, but you are worried about me. At the same time, you have something else to worry about, so you can't control your emotions, right?"
Richeal snorted and said, "You know yourself well."
"Of course." Green smiled and said, "What happened?"
"Richeal, are you alright?"
Green could sense that Richeal was in a bad mood. She sat down beside her worriedly and asked softly.
Richeal shook her head. She had just drunk tea, but her throat was still a little dry.
"I'm fine, but I'm a little unhappy to be blocked by him."
"We've been friends for so many years. How can he hide this from me?"
"Who does he think I am? He really has no conscience!"
However, Green could see clearly that apart from being unhappy and angry, there was also pain and sadness hidden in Richeal's eyes, as if someone had betrayed her.
"Maybe he just doesn't know how to confess to us, or maybe he's just having fun with that girl?"
Green tried her best to find an excuse. "Look, he didn't even tell me or you. He's probably just pretending to have a girlfriend. You know, he's definitely going to attend some banquets with my parents abroad. Perhaps all of this is just for social activities."
Richeal shook her head with a smile. "There's another possibility. He and that girl are true love. He didn't tell us, just afraid that we would break them up."
"Why should we break them up? This doesn't make sense."
"You don't understand."
Green thought to herself that she didn't understand them, let alone the obscure relationship between them.
They were still fine before going abroad, but why did the relationship between them suddenly become tense?
"Richeal..."
"Well, I'm fine. I'm just a little angry." Richeal obviously didn't want to say more and began to change the topic. "Let's talk about the matter of being splashed."
Green looked at Richeal worriedly. The more Richeal pretended as if nothing had happened, the more serious the injury in her heart became.
However, Richeal had always been strong-willed. If she didn't want to say anything, Green wouldn't be able to pry open her mouth no matter what.
"There's actually something else behind splashed paint."
Green picked a part of Connie's story and hid some details and inside stories. She only mentioned the relationship between Steve and Connie's mother and Steve came to ask Connie for money.
