Chapter 166
Chapter 166
I've already left my words here, and that's what I'm thinking in my heart.
"Anyone can think of me as a fool, but Harrison can't. I always pay attention to his feelings. Now that he has put all the problems on me with just one word, do I have to accept it? "
In the office, it was he who publicly hugged Abbie and stood with her in front of me. Harrison was the one who allowed her to hold his arm, so what reason did he have to criticize me?
"Just because I like him? Because of my deep feelings for him, I deserve to be hurt?"
"You don't remember that I won't blame you for what Abbie did to me, but you shouldn't have thrown all the blame on me,” I said with a smile.
Although there was a smile on my face, my heart was more bitter than anyone else's.
Perhaps it was my problem from the beginning to the end. It was my fault. I thought that Harrison would put all his thoughts on me, but I ignored how attractive his conditions were.
Abbie was full of hostility the first time she saw him, and she even called him Brother Harrison. It seemed that they had known each other for a long time, but what about me?
I was just an insignificant woman who had slept with him. At most, we were more cooperative with each other in bed. Or it could be said that when I needed him, he gave me all the help. I had always asked for him.
A sense of powerlessness and defeat spread throughout my whole body...
Harrison continued to walk forward, while I kept stepping back. Finally, I stopped when my back was against the wall. When I looked up, I saw him standing in front of me, and the expression on his face was uncertain.
At this moment, I felt that it was wrong to say more, so I decided not to speak anymore. The two of them stood face to face, and neither of them wanted to speak. I didn't know what Harrison was thinking in his heart. In short, I had the same idea.
"If you want me to believe it, you have to pay the price."
Before I could understand the meaning of this sentence, I was kissed by him. I didn't expect that he would suddenly kiss me. I looked at him with widened eyes in surprise to make sure whether it was true or not.
His kiss was different from before. There seemed to be a faint anger in it. From the initial resistance to the gradual acceptance, the two seemed to have forgotten what had happened before.
Just as I was gradually lost in it, Harrison suddenly let go of me. His beautiful eyes were staring at me. Although there was a smile on his face, I couldn't feel him smiling.
"Chelsea, how many things are you hiding from me?" Harrison asked me in a low voice.
The irrational kiss was interrupted in an instant, and my heart was also cold. "Can I hide it from you?"
"It's not that I belittle myself, but it's a fact. I don't think I'll have a chance to hide it from Harrison if I really do something. He may expose me when I'm ready to do it, of course, except that he never cares about me."
Now it seemed that the last possibility was relatively close.
Harrison sighed softly and lowered his head helplessly. "In the company today, do you know how I feel when I saw you and Louie coming out of the lounge?"
I opened my mouth, but in the end, I didn't say anything. I haven't told him about Callen. According to my current state, if he knew, he should have a bad impression of me, right? © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"We're just colleagues. We have nothing to do with each other," I explained. "You know about this, don't you?"
"Then why did you want to cry when you saw me and Abbie?" he asked.
Hearing his question, I didn't know how to refute it for a while.
It was clearly a situation of two different concepts, but I had an indescribable illusion. In my opinion, the relationship between Louie and me was much simpler than theirs, because Abbie had always had a restless heart for him. Just like this was already different.
"I don't mind what Abbie has done to me and her feelings for you," I said softly.
Such words had exhausted all my strength. I thought it would work, but Harrison just smiled and said, "I told you that Louie's feelings for you are obvious to everyone."
"What about you? What about you and Abbie?"
Listening to him say this to me, I felt very uncomfortable. I felt that he had used a different standard between us, which made me very disgusted.
"It's good to say that. I don't have any other plans. I just don't want to be at a disadvantage. Since we are never equal, there will be many problems even if we are together. I don’t want to be like this."
Harrison leaned forward and stopped when he was a few centimeters away from me. "Chelsea, if you can figure out what it is, you can come to me at that time."
After that, Harrison left without looking back.
I didn't feel anything when I stood there. At first, I thought I would cry, but I didn't expect that I would be calmer than before. I just listened to his footsteps and left.
But what he said kept echoing in my mind.
What exactly do I want? What do I want? Can I choose?
If I told him that I wanted you, Harrison, would he promise me?
That night, I didn't clean up the house as Sienna had said. I just stood in the living room in a daze and stood there for the whole night. Then I got sick the next day. The doorbell kept ringing in the morning, but I stood at the door and didn't dare to open it.
Callen's incident gave me a warning. I didn't dare to open the door now that I wasn't sure who it was. "Who?"
"It's me." The people outside answered, "It's Louie."
I was stunned. I didn't expect Louie to come, and Harrison's words came up together last night. I said without thinking, "I'm sick and can't go to work today. You'd better go back first!"
"I know you're sick, so I brought some medicine to see you."
To be honest, I was very touched. In the morning, I asked for leave to call Liu Qian. It seemed that Louie would know that it was also Liu Qian's words. But he was so kind to me, which made me very distressed.
In addition to Harrison, I haven't had the mood to develop with anyone else. What's more, there was a misunderstanding between us now. If he knew that I was with Louie at home, who knew what
would happen? Thinking of this, I couldn't let him in.
I deliberately coughed loudly. "Go back, Louie. I'm not in good condition and don't want to see anyone."
"I know, so I'll leave after putting down my things," Louie said softly.
I had no choice. In the end, I opened the door and made sure that he would put it down and leave. As a result, as soon as I opened the door, Louie came in directly.
"I just bought it from the pharmacy. I'll take medicine after having breakfast," Louie said with a smile.
