Can't Get Away With You

Chapter 14 A Princess Forever

Shaking her head, Lois took the opportunity to shed tears, "Mr. President, No, Mr. Kent. I have something else to do. Excuse me. "

Lois turned around and walked to her car, followed by Kent Wu in a hurry.

Kent cursed himself in his mind. Thinking of what had happened just now, he was even more depressed. Although he really felt sorry for her, he undoubtedly stepped on her sore spot. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Lois and pressed her hand on the door. "Lois!"

Looking at her red eyes, Kent was a little stunned. Time had changed. It was in the past, and now it was. She used to be the campus Belle admired by thousands of people, but because she was infatuated with Joey, she had gone all out

She used to be a princess in the school, but now she had become so haggard.

She had suffered a lot in the past five years! Did Joey treat her badly! How could she become so decadent!

Kent swallowed the question in his mouth and sighed, "you're the first person I've met after I came back from abroad. Don't you invite me to dinner?"

After a pause, Lois said, "Mr. Kent, I have something else to do. "

"Let's walk around together." Before she could say anything, Kent bypassed the car and sat on the passenger seat.

Suppressing her tiredness, Lois got into the car together.

The two remained silent all the way. Lois drove to a dessert shop. Kent considerately ordered a cup of ice coco and a piece of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte for her.

He smiled gently and said, "you used to like these the most, but you were afraid of getting fat. Now you are thin like this, so you won't get too fat even if you eat more

Just like the interaction between schoolmates in the past, he would always ask someone to bring her what she liked, chew those caring words to her secretly and swallow them

Looking at the Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte and latte in front of Kent, Lois suddenly felt warm.

"Thank you." She said in a low voice and began to taste the delicious food in front of her.

The relationship between the two was closer because of a cup of coke. Lois began to talk with Kent with a smile which hadn't shown for a long time.

The two of them had only talked about the topic of the University for two hours. Lois yawned and raised her hand. "It's almost eleven o'clock!"

Kent put down the fork in his hand and said, "let's go to eat something. I was a little tired after the flight last night."

Lois nodded in agreement, thinking that she hadn't slept all night.

The two of them went to a western restaurant. Kent ordered two filet Mignons. Lois smiled, she picked up a fork and began to eat.

Kent ordered a bottle of red wine and the two chatted while eating.

Different from the topic at the beginning, when Kent talked about his life abroad, his tone was soft and with a little sense of humor. The two of them were laughing.

Listening to her with a smile, Lois swept away her previous tiredness and looked much better.

Kent felt that he was stupid at that time. Lois was easy to get along with. Although she didn't like to interact with others, she never looked down upon others.

If he had ignored her persistence in Joey and told her his feelings for her, he probably wouldn't have ended up like this.

But there was no 'if' in the world. When he knew from others that Lois liked Joey, he was so angry that he threw the love letter written to her into the trash can and began to hide from her. He thought he would forget it if he didn't look at her.

But it won't. God has set a rope for you. Unless you untie it, it will always bind you. Lois was the rope.

He silently cared about her for three years behind her back, and then went abroad, hoping to forget her. However, time did not dilute everything. Instead, he missed her more.

When he heard that she was not living a good life, he would be helpless and sad, but there was nothing he could do.

He had known that Joey was not a good husband for a long time. He knew all these magazines and reports about love affairs and female stars. He paid close attention to them.

Lois didn't live a good life. On the one hand, he hated Joey very much in his heart, and on the other hand, he was silently grateful to him. He hoped that Lois would think of his good because of Joey's bad behave.

The reality was ridiculous. He left his work behind and came back in a hurry after he heard that she was going to divorce. He wanted to be her solid support and let Joey know that she couldn't be humiliated at will. He had made up his mind to protect her to the end this time and would never shrink back because of her love!

But Lois didn't remember him. The strange eyes and careful probing were imprinted in his mind.

After five years of training, a lively girl with a little arrogance turned into a gentle and elegant woman. She had tolerance, calmness, but less arrogance as she raised her chin

The girl he had been thinking about had changedIt seemed that he knew her but didn't know her. He felt a dull pain in his heart, but he had to pretend to smile and talk with her about the funny things that had happened for many years, bitter and slightly sweet.

"All these years, How are you doing? "

It was rare for Lois to have dinner with a leisurely mood. Everything that she had thrown away or escaped from was back to her mind because of the question from Kent.

The relaxed and cozy smile at the corners of Lois's mouth became heavy. She pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly. She only said, "I'm fine..."

Kent came to his senses and wanted to swallow his words. If she lived well, how could he come back!

"Anyway You'd better take good care of yourself. " Kent comforted.

Replied Lois in a low voice and continued to eat with her head down.

Seeing that Lois didn't want to say anything more, Kent became silent. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The only sound left between the two was the occasional touch of the fork and the plate, and there was no other interaction or conversation.

Lois didn't want to talk more, just because she remembered that she had loved Joey on her own wishful thinking. Regardless of the dissuasion of the people around her, she resolutely agreed to Mr. Gu's plan and married Joey without hesitation.

She recalled the pain she suffered when she was pregnant. At that time, Joey was very cold to her. She thought that when the baby was born, Joey would definitely like it very much. Even if she didn't like her, she would love his own flesh and blood more.

Later, when Maggie was born, Joey didn't pay any attention to her. He only treated that house as a hotel and a restaurant. He didn't pay much attention to Maggie and was even colder to her.

She still remembered that when Joey looked at Maggie occasionally, his eyes were cold and disgusted. At that time, she only had no idea and fear. She was at a loss for the future, and she was afraid that Maggie would gradually grow up

She began to hide herself from Joey. She stayed far away from him every day except for sleeping in the same room at night. She was afraid that Maggie would see that kind of eyes. She was still so young

Perhaps it was because Joey thought that she was sensible, or perhaps she felt pity for Maggie that she was too young. Later, he was just indifferent, and there was no longer disgust in his eyes

She had thought that God would bless her and that Joey would love their child sooner or later, but she had underestimated the status of Sally.

She should have known that she was the woman in Joey's heart
