Heart Hunting

Hilda can't bear this, and she speaks to Kenny in a heavy voice with the tone of an elder. "Ethel is your girlfriend. She just cares about you. You can't blame on her." Kenny sneers, and looks at Ethel in disdain. "My girlfriend?"

"When did I say you were my girlfriend? Did I touch you or sleep with you?"

"No... you, you didn't. I just..." Ethel doesn't know what to say.

Kenny continues, "I didn't. So who says you're my girlfriend?"

He used to use her as a shield, so he always indulged her nonsense, but things have changed.

Hilda sees her daughter being bullied. She immediately says, "but you haven't denied it for so many years. Don't you have feelings for her after so many years together?"

She has an ominous premonition that he is now trying to get rid of her daughter.

Mrs. Murphy stands quietly beside. She is very excited. Her son is so powerful and cool. If Poppy sees that, would she be attracted by him?

Kenny frowns. "I didn't deny that doesn't mean I admit that. There are so many women around me. My secretary has stayed with me for several years, five days a week. Should I also have feelings for her?" Hilda's face turns gloomy, while Ethel, with her head down, shows a fierce look. She thinks that Kenny would become like this only because of Jean. Otherwise, he would never say such cruel words to her.

Hilda can't refute his words. She knows that if Kenny has feelings for Ethel, he won't be like that for her. But they don't want to let go of the chance if they can let Ethel marry up with him.

"Kenny, now that you have a new girl, and you're going to leave Ethel? In recent years, people outside know that she is your girlfriend. After so many years of her devotion, her reputation is now in your hands. How can you do that to her?"

Hilda is being so exaggerated that Mrs. Murphy can't bear. "You have to be responsible what your words. Did Kenny admit Ethel to be his girlfriend? Don't be ridiculous."

Kenny pats her mother on the shoulder, indicating that she don't need to be angry. He says to Hilda, "as a girl, she's not missish at all. I haven't touched her. It's polite enough that I didn't say her shameless. And now you want to add a crime on me for no reason?"

His eyes turn gloomy, and the words are full of a strong sense of warning. If they dare to say anything more, he can't sure what measures he would take.

Ethel feels that it's not the right time to continue arguing with him. She carefully pulls her mother's sleeve. "Mom, stop it."

Hilda frowns. "Kenny, be a man! You should take the responsibility."

"Mrs. Green, please speak with evidence. It's nothing to do with you whether I'm a man or not. Daisey, send them off!" "And throw out what they brought. We never use bargains in our family." Kenny adds.

Ethel runs to Mrs. Murphy in panic and pleads, "Mrs. Murphy, can you say something for me? I know I'm wrong. Please, don't make Kenny angry at me."

Mrs. Murphy doesn't want to get involved in this mess. She shakes her hand away and makes an excuse. "My food is still on the stove. I'm going to have a look."
