My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 493: Hypocritical!

Before Kenny could speak, Carl explained with a smile. "I was there on business, so I met Kenny, and I knew Edith was eating with you, so I forced Kenny to come over."

"Yes." Kenny looked satisfied, agreeing with what Carl had said.

Gloria looked at Carl with a meaningful smile.

Carl looked at her, seeming to tell her with his eyes. "Don't expose his lie."

He didn't even go to where the Clarke's Group was, but Kenny called him up, asking him out to lunch, and then Kenny brought him here for lunch.

As for how Kenny knew Gloria was here for lunch...

Carl didn't want to know that because he was also satisfied as he could have lunch with Edith.

Tina was sitting next to Kenny and she was so excited that she showed him a wooden doll. "Daddy, wooden doll!

That's what Edith just gave her, a wooden doll that could sing. It's a very simple handicraft, and although it wasn't very attractive to adults, it's interesting to kids.

Kenny asked. "Who gave it to you?"

Tina pointed to Edith, saying with a smile. "Aunt Hall gave it to me."

Edith smiled, touching Tina's head.

After the waiter poured out the water, he asked. "Would you like to order now?"

Gloria said. "Let's order now."

She came out a little early with Tina, while she talked to Edith for a long time and didn't pay attention to the time.

It's lunchtime now, and Carl and Kenny were coming over, so of course, they're going to have lunch first.

The waiter brought the menu, and Kenny pushed it right over to Gloria.

Gloria pushed the menu back. "You just order."

Edith, who was sitting across from Gloria, saw it all, and she and Gloria had just talked about the mudslide in the mountain, but they hadn't even mentioned Kenny.

Edith looked at the way they were pushing the menu, finding that there was something different between them.

Edith kicked Carl quietly under the table.

Looking puzzled, Carl turned to Edith, and Edith raised her chin a little, motioning to Carl to look at Kenny.

Carl shook his head since he didn't know what had happened to Kenny and Gloria either.

Kenny looked at Gloria, but without pushing the menu back, he opened it, ordering dishes.

After ordering a few dishes, he passed the menu to Carl.

When the dishes were served, Gloria found that many of them were her favorites.

It's no doubt that Kenny had ordered many dishes for her.

Kenny remembered more now, so it wasn't surprising that he could remember Gloria's favorite dishes.

During the meal, Edith looked at the two of them now and then.

She noticed that the relationship between Gloria and Kenny became closer than before, but their relationship also seemed a little odd.

After lunch, Kenny offered to take Gloria and Tina home.

"I'll take you back."

"I drove here by myself."

Kenny didn't force Gloria but just told her to drive carefully, and then he went back to the office.

Carl, of course, went with Kenny.

"Aren't you and Mr. Clarke getting a little closer after what's happened?" Edith said, winking. She looked at Gloria, seeming to say "you know" with her eyes.

Gloria was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"That's what I meant!" Edith added when she saw that Gloria was still looking puzzled. "It means that the relationship between you and him becomes closer and you develop a crush on each other... No, that's not quite right, but do you think he's suddenly very close to you?"

Gloria thought for a moment, nodding. "Yes, he lives with me now."

"He lives with you? Do you mean he's moving in with you?"

Edith was a good actress, and she soon understood what Gloria was saying.

"Yes."

After hearing Gloria's answer, Edith froze. "Are you on good terms as before?"

Be on good terms as before?

Not really.

Gloria shook her head. "No."

"I heard from Carl that Mr. Clarke risked his life to look for you alone in the mountain, and aren't you touched? Even if he can't get his memory back, he remembers a lot of things from the past and he really cares about you now, and even if he can't remember the past, can't you have new and happy memories together..."

Edith went on talking, whereas Gloria's thoughts drifted away.

She knew what Edith had said was right.

She had been thinking about these things over and over again these days.

Kenny looked exactly the same, but why did she think he was different?

She had been hoping that Kenny would recover his memory so that they could be as close as ever.

But now as Kenny remembered something from the past, wasn't it a good thing?

Seeing that Gloria didn't respond to her words, Edith simply asked. "Just say what's on your mind, and why do you hesitate?"

"I don't know, and I just felt that although Kenny looks the same as before, he has changed, so I can't treat him like I used to..."

Before Gloria could finish speaking, Edith glanced at her and said in disgust. "Hypocritical! You think about three years ago, and now you both are still alive and you have such a lovely daughter, Tina, so why are you still not satisfied?"

Gloria compressed her lips slightly, listening to Edith.

Although people possessed a lot, they always wanted to possess more.

At first, when Kenny looked at Gloria as if she was a stranger, Gloria just wanted them to be good again.

But when Kenny was getting better as he was remembering something of the past, she wanted more.

Tina sat to the side, listening to them all the time and she said suddenly. "Hypocritical."

Gloria and Edith both looked back at her. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Tina moved her delicate and tender fingers slightly, looking puzzled.

Tina was just saying it as she heard Edith say it, and Tina had no idea what that meant.

Edith made fun of her. "Who do you think was hypocritical?"

Tina looked at Edith, then looked at Gloria, and said in a clear voice. "Dad."

"Ha ha ha!"

Edith laughed happily, and she was laughing so hard that she was lying on the table, while she slapped the table and laughed until tears came to her eyes. "Gloria, Tina was just like you. Tina looked so panicky and she's so smart as she knew what to say. Ha ha ha!"

Gloria forced a smile, saying reluctantly. "Edith, pay attention to your behavior, and aren't you afraid of being photographed by the paparazzi?"

"Not afraid... Ha ha ha!" After Edith has said these words, she continued to laugh.

Gloria had to turn her head, looking at Tina. "You know what that means?"

Tina shook her head honestly. "I don't know."

Of course, Tina didn't know what that meant.

Gloria touched her head. "You mustn't say things like that about your Dad."

Kids were such quick learners that they could remember almost anything adults had said, so Gloria was worried that Tina would say this in front of Kenny when he came home tonight...
