Harley looked at the person in front of him, his face still covered in wounds, and the only beautiful thing was those eyes.
It seems like I’ve seen him twice, and he looks like he’s been beaten.
“I have bodyguards around me, so even if there’s really danger, there’s no need to worry about anything, “Harley said.
Because her father was worried that something might happen to her, she always had bodyguards around to protect her.
“Even so, this is not suitable for you, “Calvert said.” Thank you for helping me today. Please leave now.”
Calvert finished speaking and was about to cross Harley and leave.
A pale hand suddenly grabbed Calvert’s hand.
Calvert was stunned and looked at the other person in a daze.
“Where are you going now with all your injuries? “Harley asked.
“I’ll go home, “he said.
“Then I’ll take you home, “she said.
“No need, my house is nearby. I’ll be home in a moment, “Calvert said hastily.
Nearby?
Harley looked at this area and naturally knew that it was a famous “slum” in Emerald City, filled with various forms of violence, brawls, and struggles of the underprivileged.
If it were normal, she wouldn’t be here at all.
But just now she accidentally saw his beaten figure in the car and suddenly called for the driver to stop.
Although they had only seen each other once, and when he was beaten just now, his hands were holding his head, strangely enough, she could still recognize him at a glance.
It’s quite incredible to think about it.
“Are you sure you can walk home safely like this? “Harley said.” I’ll take you back. Since you said it’s nearby, I’ll take you home. It shouldn’t take much time.”
Calvert tightly pursed his lips, he didn’t want her to see his home, it would only make him even more embarrassed.
“What’s the matter? “Harley turned to look at Calvert.
“You don’t need to take me back, “he took a deep breath and once again refused her kindness.
Perhaps she would dislike him for being so unkind as him, Calvert thought to himself.
However, they were originally people from two worlds. Even if she disliked him, it was natural, but at least he could maintain his last trace of dignity in front of her.
Although the so-called dignity seems a bit ridiculous!
After listening to what he said, Harley frowned again and said, “Wait a moment, then.” She whispered to the bodyguard next to her.
One of the bodyguards quickly left, while the other bodyguard blocked Calvert’s path.
“Since you don’t want me to take you home, then wait here, “Harley said.
Calvert’s eyes flashed with confusion, not understanding what she wanted him to wait for.
But he did not refute but obediently stayed where he was.
As long as she doesn’t go to his house, it’s okay to stay for a while. At least, he actually wants to spend more time with her like this.
An inexplicable emotion slowly spread through his body, but he didn’t understand what this emotion was.
Is it because she saved him twice?
Or is it because a princess like her is so towering that if it were normal, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to have such contact?
Or perhaps she seems somewhat different from those women who approach him.
Those women always look at him with a greedy gaze and deliberately approach him, but once they find trouble and lose interest in him, they will not hesitate to discard him, like garbage.
So the woman’s gaze made him feel extremely nauseous.
But she had never looked at him with such a gaze. Her gaze was just the ordinary one, without lofty charity or that disgusting desire.
It’s like he’s just an ordinary person in front of her.
This makes him feel more at ease.
“Why did you help me? “Calvert hesitated for a moment, breaking the silence at the moment.
Harley asked strangely, “Don’t you want me to help you?”
“No! “He quickly denied,” I just don’t understand why you helped me, after all, I shouldn’t be of much use to you.”
“Is it not common for me to come forward and help someone who I know when I see them being beaten? “Harley said
Is it average? Calvert pursed her lips, perhaps for her, it was just a simple matter, just like ordinary people casually throwing something to eat when they see a kitten or puppy on the roadside.
“Do you often help others like this? “He couldn’t help but ask.
“Not often, I’m not actually the kind of person who is willing to help others, “Harley said, after all, born into a family like hers, there are too many people who approach her for for-profit purposes, and there are too many people who pretend to be pitiful in front of her.
In fact, when she was a child, she was a very compassionate person, but after so many years, she gradually became indifferent.
Unless she is familiar with someone, she rarely takes the initiative to help others.
However, Calvert, helped twice, which is quite rare.
Perhaps it was because of his numbness when he was beaten that she couldn’t help but want to help him once.
At that moment, the Hart family’s bodyguard returned, carrying a plastic bag with something inside.
The bodyguard handed the bag to Harley, who looked at the contents of the bag and then said to
Calvert, “Here is some medicine. You can apply it to the wound after you go home, but it’s only for external use. If you still have any discomfort, you should go to the hospital promptly.”
Calvert took the plastic bag in a daze and looked at the medicine in it.
This is the medicine she gave him!
Previously, some women gave him things, such as chocolates and various snacks to express love, as well as clothes, gloves, and scarves. However, she was the first woman to give him medicine!
Calvert held the medicine and stared blankly at Harley’s departure.
Is it because he looks too pitiful? So the princess of the Hart family came out to help him and buy him medicine?
These medicines seem particularly heavy in their hands.
When facing Harley, he always feels a sense of inferiority, which makes him want to escape.
But when Harley really left, he had an urge to catch up with her and catch her.
At this moment, Calvert forcefully suppressed his impulse until Harley’s figure completely disappeared before his eyes before he walked toward his dark and dilapidated home.
Perhaps this cannot be called home at all.
It’s just a shelter for him!
When he opened the door, a familiar musty smell once again flooded into his nose.
The rotten and moldy smell in this dilapidated house always accompanies him.
Perhaps his whole person is also slowly decaying like this room.
The more I grow up, the more I broaden my horizons and understand how difficult it is to change my life!
He took off his coat and looked at the bruises on his body, new and old as if there were always wounds on him.
And the wounds on his body have never been cared about.
Just Calvert’s gaze fell on the drugs, which Harley gave him.
Does this mean that she cares about his wounds?
On the other side, Harley sat in the car, looking at the message sent by the secretary of the Quentin family on his phone.
A week later, the Quentin family will hold Lornell’s grandfather’s birthday banquet and ask if she will attend.
Harley smiled wryly. Throughout, many things about the Quentin family have been sent messages or emails by the secretary, rather than Lornell communicating with her.
This makes her feel like an outsider.
Alternatively, in the eyes of the Quentin family, she is now just Lornell’s fiancée and not married, so she is indeed an outsider.
So for Lornell, does she also exist as an outsider?
Harley responded and of course, she will attend the birthday banquet.
And the Hart family has already prepared the gift.
And it wasn’t until the day before the banquet that Harley received Lornell’s phone call: “Tomorrow I’ll pick you up and attend my grandfather’s birthday party together.”
For an instant, Harley had an indescribable complex feeling in his heart, “I have already told my parents that tomorrow I will go to the banquet with them.”
These days, she has been waiting for his call, but he hasn’t called yet.
The secretary of the Quentin family was also explaining some of the attendance matters at the banquet to her.
It’s like he can’t even spare a little time for her!
In the eyes of others, fiancée should have been an intimate identity, but for him, she is probably only stronger than strangers.
“Is that right? That’s good. “Lornell’s voice came faintly from the other end of his phone, and he hung up immediately. The phone kept hearing the sound of ending the call.
Harley only felt bitter in his mouth.
It seems that he was just saying it for real, and even after she refused, he just replied briefly and ended the conversation.
His attitude is undoubtedly silently telling her that he doesn’t love her!
