When Gloria listened to Colin’s words, her heart skipped a beat.
Si Chengyu took the DNA test and began to fight against Kenny.
If she were to guess who the other person in the report was, she had some people in mind.
However, she thought that it was unreasonable.
Colin noticed the change in her face. He said, “I said that it was not difficult to guess. You already have the answer in your heart.”
Gloria murmured, “How is this possible?”
Colin just quietly looked at her. He didn’t say a word.
Something popped in her mind. She asked, “How did you get this DNA test report?”
“There is no secret so safe in this world. If you don’t want people to know, then don’t do it.” Colin said coldly.
Gloria remembered that Kenny once told her about the unfortunate past of Colin.
It was impossible for everyone to choose their own birth.
Gloria thought of Si Chengyu. He had a good relationship with Kenny before, but when he knew that he and Kenny were not just cousins, but brothers, how was he supposed to face Kenny?
Gloria guessed that the other person in the test result was Randy Clarke.
Everything, as long as the result was clear, the causal causes were traceable.
During Chinese New Year, when she visited Kenny’s starter house, Randy Clarke said that he would let Si Chengyu to work in the Clarke Company. He wanted Kenny and Si Chengyu to look after each other.
Before that, when Si Chengyu was exposed on the internet, Randy Clarke looked for Kenny as well.
At that time, Gloria felt that Randy Clarke was being far more considerate to Si Chengyu than he was to Kenny.
If Si Chengyu was his illegitimate child, then, it made sense.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct.
“It’s getting dark. Don’t you want to invite me for dinner?” Colin interrupted her thought.
Gloria got off the car and said, “Okay. Let’s go out for dinner. I’ll drive my own car.”
“Can’t we go to your house to eat?” Colin asked.
She certainly wouldn’t invite him to her house for dinner knowing that he was interested in her.
Gloria was silent. She refused.
Colin smiled bitterly, “I think I’m getting the domino effect of my action.”
Gloria didn’t know why he suddenly said such thing.
***
Gloria invited him to dine in a high end restaurant as a polite gesture.
“You’re so generous. I’m flattered.” Colin teased her.
“You can choose not to eat.” Gloria smiled.
When ordering, she felt that he was watching her.
She ordered the food uncomfortably quick and then, she took her phone to distract herself.
“Did Kenny tell you about me?”
She couldn’t help looking up at him.
“I was born to my mother and a stranger. I don’t know who my biological father is. My existence is so superficial. I live to cover up the fact that my adoptive father is inhumane.”
Although she had heard this from Kenny before, listening this from Colin’s mouth made her feelings complicated.
She bit her lips and said, “Aren’t we here for dinner? Why are we talking about this?”
“Let me finish.” he said.
Gloria stopped talking. She let him say what he wanted to say.
“My adoptive father was inhumane. That’s why my mother started hanging out with other men. They seemed to love each other, but actually, they fought a lot. It was not hard for me to find out who I really was.”
Since he was only a little child, he knew that didn’t belong to the Hall family. He didn’t have right over any property of the family and he knew that no one in the Hall family loved him.
Therefore, outside, he always pretended to be gentle so that people would like him and pay attention to him.
At the same time, he was also looking for a wife with a good family background.
Gloria liked him. She always did and he knew it.
He enjoyed the feeling of being liked. So, he treated her kindly to make her like him all the time.
But, she married Kenny.
She married the ugly and inhumane man.
She reminded him of his mother and then, he began to hate her.
Among the girls who liked him, the Taylor was most decent. Anne Taylor was deeply favored by Loren Taylor. If he managed to marry Anne Taylor, Loren Taylor would surely give him a huge dowry.
However, he didn’t expect that Anne Taylor’s private life was so chaotic.
When he was at school, he was popular among the girls. But, among so many girls who liked him, Gloria was different.
She liked him with all her heart, but she was afraid that he would find out.
He was smart and he knew what he wanted. He knew that he couldn’t take a woman such as Gloria to be his wife.
It was life. One mistake would lead to another mistake and in the end, regret waited.
Colin held the cup in front of him and said solemnly, “Gloria, I really like you, but I find it too late.”
The more discontented people were, the easier they were moved. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
In the past, he had a utilitarian purpose toward everything he did or everyone he knew.
Gloria was the only one he kept around just because he wanted to impress her all the time.
Gloria felt weird to hear such things again after everything that happened.
She didn’t want to recall her past with him. She hesitated a moment and said, “Let’s not talk about the past. After this meal, we’re still friends.”
Past was just past.
They all should look forward.
“Indeed. Past is just past,” said Colin, “But, I just want you to know that I will not stop liking you. I will like you in the future as well.”
Gloria was about to sip her water.
“Kenny talked to me. He said that he could help me get the Hall Company, but there is one condition. I can’t take the initiative to meet you in the future.”
Colin said while paying attention her face, “I refused. The condition was tempting, but if I accepted it, I couldn’t sit here and talk to you now. Now, I find that there are many things in life that are more important than money and power.”
Gloria had long realized that something was wrong with Colin today.
She didn’t expect that he would confess to her today.
