Chapter 211
I remember that when my mother was still alive, she told me that she was worried that I would be single forever. In the future, no one would take care of me and I would be lonely for the rest of my life. She didn't want me to live like this for the rest of my life, and I've always kept an expectation for Harrison. Even when I wanted to be with him, I had never received a direct response from him. Everyone seemed to be reserved.
But now I can't accept such a situation. I desperately need an answer. Is our relationship between us lovers or friends at this moment? I want him to say it personally.
A few minutes later, I felt as if a few years had passed. Harrison pulled me but didn't say anything. It was as if I already knew the answer.
"Well, I understand what you mean." I forced a smile and said, "Don't worry about Jonah. Sienna is not the kind of person who won't let him go. As for me, I don't have to worry about him."
After saying this, I didn't see him try to pull his hand back, but he wouldn't let go no matter what.
I simply gave up the idea of taking back my hand and tilted my head to smile at him. "What's wrong? Have you been with me for a long time and can't let go?"
He still didn't speak. I continued, "We have lived for decades. It's fate for us to meet. Maybe we can still be friends in the future, but I don't want to be friends with you at all, because I'm afraid that you will affect my taste of finding a partner."
When I said this, my heart seemed to be torn apart, and I was in so much pain that I couldn't speak.
But Harrison in front of me seemed to be fine. He didn't say a word from beginning to end, which even made me suspect if he was talking to the air. As I thought about it, my tears fell without warning.
Because it was at night, he guessed that he probably couldn't see it, and he wasn't very nervous. He just slowly wiped away his tears and didn't look at me again. However, Harrison pulled me into his arms like usual and put his chin against my forehead.
I tried to break free, but I heard his sigh. So I gave up struggling and said with grievance, "We are all adults, and I won't hold you back. Let's take this opportunity to talk about it all at once. It's good for both of
us."
I could hear his strong nasal voice at the end of his words.
"Why didn't I find out before that you were so stubborn?" Harrison's tone was full of helplessness.
My body stiffened, and then I retorted with dissatisfaction, "I've been like this since I was a child. Besides, it's not a matter of stubbornness, okay?"
I must get his answer today!
"Harrison, we're not children in our teens or twenties. We don't have time to waste on each other. If you want to be with me, just say it. If you don't want to be with me..." I paused and continued with a sour nose, "Then well have nothing to do with each other in the future. Let's all go after a better life.
"Have you taken a fancy to Louie?" He let go of her and asked suddenly.
I, who had a bunch of words in my heart, imagined how he would respond to me. But when I heard the words Louie, I was instantly stunned.
Because I didn't expect that there would be something about Louie at all. In my heart, this was in the past. I didn't need to mention it anymore." panicky Yizhou is my friend. Didn't we already say it before?" "Then what happened to you today? Didn't you say anything?" He looked at me with dissatisfaction.
Hearing his words, I was confused and asked, "I have been talking all the time, but what should I say? I am asking you seriously now. Do you understand?"
"Chelsea, you think too highly of yourself, don't you?" Harrison chuckled.
My heart sank into the bottom of the valley in an instant. Without saying anything more, I guessed roughly. "All right, I got it."
I tried my best to smile at him before I left. I wanted to smile, but I always felt that it would be uglier than crying. So I stopped laughing and said goodbye to him in a low voice, but he stopped me again. For the whole night, I couldn't count how many times I was stopped by him, as if I kept repeating this movement.
"Can you stop infuriating me?"
His tone was helpless and tired, and I didn't know how to answer him.
Regardless of whether I answered or not, Harrison continued to say, "Recently, because of Jonah and Sienna, and because of the company's affairs, I have been exhausted. Don't distract me again, okay?" If this was in the past, I would definitely feel sorry for him and couldn't think of anything else. Unfortunately, my current situation was that I was determined to make it clear to him. I didn't want to be even more unwilling to drag things out, so his words were meaningless to me.
Although I'll feel sorry for you, I can still hold it in.
"Mr. Stewart is so tired, so you'd better go back and rest early. We are still in the upper and lower positions in the company. It's better to keep a distance in the future," I said with a forced smile.
"Are you sure?" There was a hint of threat in his tone.
"Isn't it normal?"
I asked with a smile, without missing a single word.
Long pain is better than short pain. It doesn't belong to me. Even though I've worked hard for so long, it still can't belong to me. Then no matter how painful my heart will be, I must give up and never turn back!
"It doesn't matter if I think about it. It's just that I really put in a lot of effort, and I didn't get the same response. What's the matter?"
Harrison sneered and pulled me into his arms, following him closely.
Such a close distance made me blush. I put my hands on his chest and said, "It's getting late. Mr. Stewart, can you let me go back?"
"If I remember correctly, you once gave Miss Hodges a card, didn't you?" he asked.
I nodded and shook my head. "You gave me a black card, but I have already returned it to you. So we said..."
"Whether you give it back to me or not, it's a fact that you didn't get it."
Hearing his words, I felt a chill in my heart, and the heat on my face slowly subsided. "What do you mean? Are you suspecting that I won't give you your card?"
"I didn't say that. I was just stating the truth," he said unhurriedly.
Immediately after, Harrison tilted his head and slowly approached my left ear. "Since Miss Hodges has no intention of returning the card to me, then I will temporarily think that you want to maintain a relationship with me."
Before I could respond, he had already been put into the car. Looking at Harrison who was also in the car, I subconsciously opened the door and got out of the car. However, with a "bang!", the car door was also locked.
"What do you mean? Are you going to kidnap me?"
Harrison slowly fastened the seat belt, looked at me coldly, and said word by word, "To maintain the deal, isn't this what you have always wanted?"
