He looked at me with unconcealed pain in his eyes. " Okay.”
It felt a bit suffocating when the word came out of his mouth. After he said it, he took a deep look at me before turning around and leaving.
When I entered the kitchen, Fred was washing the vegetables. He was taken aback for a moment upon seeing me come in. "You should go and have a chat with President Grant. Let me do this."
I smiled. "I'll help you wash the vegetables."
He pursed his lips, and his gaze fell on my ankle. "If you still wish to walk tomorrow, you'd better go and sit outside."
I knew that I would not be able to change his mind, so I went back to the living room. I was stunned when I saw Keith.
He was as cold as ever. He looked at me with his dark and deep eyes. His back was upright.
I frowned. "Assistant Lang, how did you come in?"
He handed me the plastic bag in his hand and said," President Grant asked me to pass this to you."
I took a look and found that there was ointment for
bruises inside.
I nodded and took it. "Please thank him for me."
After seeing that he did not mean to leave, I guessed that he had something to tell me. I sighed slightly and said, "Just say whatever you want."
He pursed his lips slightly, "Madam, President Grant has been waiting for you this whole time. You know a s well that he can easily find you as long as he wants t o but he's afraid. He's afraid that you'll still resent him and will push him away, so he’s waiting for you to let g o and waiting for you to go back."
I lowered my gaze and smiled. While remaining calm, I said, "Please persuade him. Tell him that everyone has their own way to go and we can't always live in the past."
After hearing me say this, he opened his mouth but did not know what to say. He just sighed and left.
