Chapter 23 Interest
“I told you, I was forced to get engaged to her, I don’t have feelings for her.” Abbott Benson said.
Cecilia Glendon was a little numb for a moment, her heart inexplicably welling up with emotion, she averted her eyes from his and whispered, “You don’t have feelings for her, as if you do for me.”
“What if I said yes.” Abbott Benson’s eyes burned, “I have to admit, you tickled my fancy.”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
At these words, Cecilia Glendon felt as if her heart beat half a beat slower. She took a deep breath to suppress the fluttering in her heart, then forced herself to look up straight into Abbott Benson’s dark eyes: “Abbott Benson, I’m a divorced woman, love is just a floating cloud to me now. You and I are from two different worlds, and we’re not going to work out.”
So, it’s better to snuff out all these budding feelings before she moves on.
“You don’t even try, how do you know it won’t work out?” Abbott Benson took her hand in his and said forcefully, “You want to sleep around and run, that’s if I agree or not.”
This woman had entered his heart in an almost forceful way, left a trail in his heart and then tried to leave.
Cecilia Glendon stopped talking.
She didn’t have the courage to answer Abbott Benson’s words, and she didn’t have the courage to ask Abbott Benson to break off the engagement with Jamie Hall. She was afraid that even if Abbott Benson did break off the engagement with Jamie Hall, she and he wouldn’t be able to make it work.
A man like Abbott Benson has no woman in his life, so why would he prefer a divorced woman like her?
She still believed that he was only temporarily interested in her, and that he would not like her again after a while.
“Get up.” Abbott Benson didn’t push her, rubbing her head before rolling over and getting up from the bed.
Cecilia Glendon stayed in bed long after he left, until Abbott Benson came and urged her to find her own clothes and change.
Abbott Benson’s place had the ingredients, so the two ate at home. After the meal, Abbott Benson offered to drive her to the office, but she refused.
If she let Abbott Benson drive her to the office, her relationship with him would have been known immediately.
They parted downstairs and Cecilia Glendon took her own car to the studio and called Debby White back in the car.
She had called the morning before, probably worried about Cecilia Glendon.
“Are you okay from last night? I was going to go after it, but Montague Scott stopped me.” Debby White huffed.
“It’s fine, don’t you worry.” Cecilia Glendon said soothingly.
“I mean … the Benson Master doesn’t really like you, does he?” Debby White asked suspiciously, “Otherwise why are you two still so coupled up.”
Cecilia Glendon’s head hurts when she mentions it: “I’m not going to tell you, I’m not going to mention him.”
The thought of Abbott Benson gave Cecilia Glendon a headache, so she simply hung up.
God knows she really wanted to get rid of her relationship with Abbott Benson, but they would always sleep together somehow, and it was really helpless.
Cecilia Glendon wanted to avoid Abbott Benson for a few days, but the next day, she found herself in the headlines again, and with Abbott Benson.
Cecilia Glendon divorced Oswin Garcia, and although the house is in her name, she doesn’t plan to go back to live there, so the commissioning agent has already started selling the house, and she can’t always live in Debby White’s house, although the two are girlfriends, but a close relationship can make the two go longer.
