My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 196 How many times do you want?

The second day, Gloria Taylor left for Jin Ding early.

By the time she got there, it was twenty minutes earlier than the agreed time, but Si Chengyu got there as well in about one minute later.

“Kenny’s not here yet?” He asked Gloria.

“Yeah. I seldom saw him since he was back in the family business.” Gloria sighed and answered.

Noticing disappointment in her words, Si changed the subject.

“Well, Leon was meant to come, too, but his friends called him, so he didn’t make it.”

Gloria did not meet Leon for quite a long time, and it drew her attention when Si mentioned him.

They chatted and waited for Kenny Clarke, but he did not show up even over the agreed time, which was unusual for a punctual person like him.

She dialed his number, but he hung up. Looking at the phone, Gloria frowned.

“What’s up?” Si asked.

“It’s Kenny...” Gloria compressed her lips but smiled to hide her worry. “Maybe he was in an emergency meeting. Don’t mind him, Let’s begin to order.”

Si Chengyu came here with an empty stomach as she did, and it would be inappropriate to keep him waiting.

“No, no. I’m alright.” Si said.

And it was not until one hour later, with the insistence of Gloria, they started dinner.

They were drinking tea after finished eating, and Kenny finally showed up.

Seeing Kenny walking in, Gloria turned down her head to her tea and ignored him.

Kenny was a man who kept his words, but he was so late tonight and did not even call her back for his absence, which made Gloria worried about him, so she was mad at him, slightly.

“Being busy?” Si Chengyu poured him a cup of tea and asked mildly.

Kenny sat down closely to Gloria and laid one arm on the back of the chair Gloria sat, which was like a lion guarding his territory.

It caught Si’s eyes for a few seconds, but Si looked elsewhere before anyone noticed. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Yeah, sorry to keep you waiting.” Kenny drank the tea, took a look at Gloria, and then asked Si. “Did you eat?”

“Uh-huh. We were starving.” Si replied.

Kenny then turned to Gloria and gazed at her, while Gloria just pretended to focus on her tea.

“My bad. I would’ve been earlier, but I got a little car accident on the way, and it broke my phone.” Kenny said to Si but kept his eyes on Gloria.

She was pretending to ignore him, but as he spoke, she paid one hundred percent attention. So before the last word of the sentence got out of his mouth, Gloria turned to him in a hurry.

“Did you get hurt?” She asked.

“No, I’m fine.” The glimmer of a titter flashed in his eyes, and Kenny added. “It was a traffic block caused by a car accident, which made me late.”

...

Kenny ordered his food and finished it quickly before he went home together with Gloria.

Inside the car, Gloria turned to Kenny and broke the silence.

“It’s been so long since we went home together like this.”

“Yeah, just like the time when someone wouldn’t allow me to accompany her.”

“It’s not the same thing.”

“Yes, it is.”

“No, it’s not.”

“Yes...”

And the childish debate ended when Kenny threw Gloria on the bed.

...

The next morning when Gloria woke up, she found Kenny still sleeping. He was tired lately but still did it several times with Gloria last night.

She reached her hand to his mature face when Kenny woke up and squinted his eyes.

“I’ll bite you.”

He put her finger into his mouth and bit it lightly, while Gloria giggled and reached to him with the other hand.

But her phone rang and interrupted them.

“Who would call me in this hour.” Gloria mumbled as she took the phone.

And she found it was an unknown number.

“Who’s this?”

“Carl Cook.” Kenny glanced at the screen from behind.

“Why did Carl call me?”

“Maybe he tried to contact me.” Kenny took her phone.

“What happened?” Kenny’s voice turned cold when he picked up the phone.

Gloria moved closer to listen and heard Carl spoke in a distraught tone.

“What the hell! One more picture of Si Chengyu and your lovely wife! It’s going wild online now!”

“What? Again?” Gloria asked.

Kenny hang up the phone and searched Si’s name, the first result was the news titled with The Secret Girlfriend of Si Chengyu.

“I guess with a couple more of these, I could be a star, too.” Gloria twitched her mouth.

“How many times do you want?” Kenny gave her a sour look.

The picture in the news was shot last night when Si Chengyu and her had dinner before Kenny was there. And Si was clearly showed in it, while Gloria’s face was still fuzzy.

“Well, that’s not what I asked, am I? Besides, if you showed up earlier last night, it would be three of us.” Gloria pouted and said.
