The Incense Honey Lake-
The majestic building is soaked by moonlight. The European style building looks more graceful and
tender in the silver light.
The square building radiates a Chinese style. The eave is carved with dragons, reflecting its luxury and
high style.
The iron gate with gilded patterns slowly opens as a maybach approaches.
Kenny parks his car, puts his suit on his arm and walks into the house.
Ethel was chatting with Mrs. Murphy at first. When she hears the footsteps, she looks up and sees
Kenny coming in. Her expression becomes more tender. She goes up to take Kenny's coat and asks,
"have you had your dinner?"
Kenny ignores her words and goes straight in.
Mrs. Murphy steps forward, but she finds out the red lip print on Kenny's shirt. She questions, "Kenny,
which bitch are you hooking up with outside?"
Ethel also sees the lip print on his shirt at this time. Her eyes are full of sadness, and she lowers her
head like she is hurt.
Kenny goes inside without saying anything. But Mrs. Murphy follows him, she says with a tone of
reproach, "Kenny, you've already had a girlfriend. How can you philander outside? You have to be
responsible for Ethel. You can't make her sad."
"Auntie, it doesn't matter. I know Kenny is just playing. Don't blame him!" Ethel says in a low voice, as if
she is really a victim.
Kenny sneers, "Mom, Ethel is not my girlfriend. I have never touched her. And I have never
acknowledged who my girlfriend is."
His words break the grievance on Ethel's face and makes her ashamed. Ethel then shows a
embarrassed look.
Mrs. Murphy's eyes flash a bit blank. She looks at Ethel and her son. Then she retorts, "but you haven't
denied it!"
Kenny can't rebut for a little while, and then he puts his hand on Mrs. Murphy's shoulder. "Mom, you
are too simple. She cheats you."
"I..."
Mrs. Murphy still wants to say something else, but Kenny interrupts, "Daisey, see off the guest.
Besides, don't let any irrelevant outsiders in from now on!"
Daisey, the servant, steps forward and looks at Mrs. Murphy in embarrassment.
Ethel feels so anxious. She hurries forward and looks pitifully at Mrs. Murphy. "Auntie, please help me!"
Mrs. Murphy is like a sandwich biscuit between them. She is in a dilemma. One is her son, the other is
the future daughter-in-law she likes. How should she choose?
Kenny's attitude is firm, and his eyes and expression shows a feeling of irresistible. Mrs. Murphy's inner
swing scales eventually incline to her son's side.
She waves her hand, and says, "Fine, Daisey, see off the guest!"
From Kenny's attitude, she can tell that he doesn't like Ethel, or even is sick of her. Nothing forcibly
done is going to be agreeable. Mrs. Murphy thinks she can't do much about it. One's children and
grandchildren have their own lives to live.
Ethel can't find an excuse to stay any longer. She watches Kenny go to the second floor. Then she
looks at Mrs. Murphy eagerly, begging for a little pity from her.
But Mrs. Murphy pretends not to see it. She quickly catch up with her son and comes to his room.
Kenny stops in front of his door and waits for the questions that his mother holding in her heart.
"Kenny," she says, pointing to the lipstick print on his shirt. "Which woman are you dating now?"
"What's her name? Do you like her?"
Kenny doesn't respond to these questions in time. But Poppy's charming face, sexy red lips, and her
daring teasing come into his mind...
He can't help sliding his Adam's apple, and a trace of impatience spread in his heart. "I want to sleep
with her. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Mr. Murphy is surprised. She shakes her head incredulously. "No. I'm not satisfied. You're so good,
handsome and rich. Isn't it easy for you to sleep with a woman?"
Kenny laughs at himself, he leans against the door and replies, "but that woman isn't into your son."
"What?" Mrs. Murphy is shocked. "She's not into you? Tell me who she is. I'm gonna find her. My son's
is so great! How could she be not into you?"
Kenny doesn't replies Mrs. Murphy. He walks straight into the bedroom.
Mrs. Murphy is unwilling to give up. She follows him and nags, "Kenny, tell me who she really is. I will
help you deal with her. I can't believe there is still a woman who doesn't like you in this city. I really want
to see her!" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Mrs. Murphy talks incessantly. Kenny feels so exhausted. After he takes off his tie, he looks at his
mother and says, "Mom, please leave me alone. Your son is going to have a rest. I will bring her to
meet you if there is a chance."
" Kenny, I..."
"Stop!" Kenny's expression becomes serious.
Mrs. Murphy doesn't dare to say anything more. She walks out of the room and closes the door.
She walks downstairs and calls Daisey. "Daisey, what kind of woman do you think would be not into my
son?"
This really confuses Daisey. The young Mr. Murphy is so excellent, how could women not like him?
After thinking for a long time, Daisey says, "Mrs. Murphy, perhaps...a woman with a individualized
personality?"
"Individualized personality? He can't feed himself with individualized personality!" Mrs. Murphy is
puzzled and curious about the woman Kenny likes, with also kind of worship.
She stops talking, and begins to think about the measure...
She will look for opportunities to meet that little fox with individuality!
