Chapter 560
Soon, Ms. Sally brought pecan pies to the dining table. "Mr. Lucero, pecan pies are ready, you can eat
now."
Kenneth picked up his fork and took a bite of the pie. The taste of it was... really terrible. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Last time, Arabella made them with fresh shrimp, and they were bursting with a delicious and sweet
taste. But these ies were hard to swallow.
Kenneth frowned and put down his fork in displeasure. "Take them away, I don't want to eat anymore."
Ms. Sally quietly watched him. Who was the one who initially thought that all pies tasted the same?
Now he realized he was wrong.
At that moment, Mrs. Sharon in the living room chuckled. "Ms. Sally, you go about your business, don't
mind him. I can see that tonight Bella won't be coming back, someone is restless."
Mrs. Sharon had been recovering well these past few days. Her appetite had slowly increased, and
now she had good energy. She was sitting on the couch watching a TV drama.
Kenneth walked into the living room and sat next to his grandmother. "Grandma, why hasn't Arabella
come back yet? She's the cook you hired, did she forget her responsibilities and put you aside?"
Mrs. Sharon quickly made a gesture to stop him. "Ken, Bella called me earlier and asked for the night
off to celebrate with her classmates. I approved it. Don't try to sow discord here or try to take advantage
of me. I won't fall for it."
"..." Kenneth looked at his grandmother and realized that ever since Arabella appeared, his
grandmother was not as fond of him anymore!
"Ken, do you like Bella?" Mrs. Sharon asked with a smile.
Like...
The word made Kenneth's heart tighten. He had never thought about this question before. He had only
known Arabella for a short while.
"No." Kenneth denied directly.
Mrs. Sharon looked at him and saw through his insincere denial. "I was just asking casually. Bella is
such a good girl and there is no shortage of suitors around her. Ken, if you like Bella, you better make
your move, or else someone will snatch her away soon."
She did have many suitors around her. As the campus belle of Guerrio University, she had made a
name for herself today, mesmerizing countless boys.
Thinking about all this, Kenneth felt a heavy weight in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe. He stood up
abruptly. "Grandma, I'm going upstairs first."
Kenneth, tall and handsome, quickly disappeared from sight.
...
Kenneth returned to his bedroom, took a cold shower, and then lay in bed trying to sleep. But he
couldn't stop tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He took out his phone and sent a text message to his good friend Jared: [Is Aurora out socializing?
Can you sleep?]
"Ding." A message from Jared came back: [She doesn't need to socialize, she just needs to socialize
with me.]
If Jared were here right now, Kenneth felt like he would have kicked him already. [I asked if Aurora
went out to karaoke or to a bar.]
Jared replied: [I can't sleep, I worry that her dress is too short, I worry that she will attract trouble, I
worry that someone will take advantage of her, I worry that she's having too much fun and won't come
home.]
Kenneth felt somewhat relieved by Jared's reply. [So you think the same way.]
Jared responded: [Oh, so you really do think that way.]
The handsome eyelids of Kenneth twitched slightly, feeling like he should kick Jared for the second
time, the third time, the nth time. [Go away.]
Kenneth sent his final message and then threw his phone onto the bed. Irritated, he closed his eyes,
choosing to chat with Jared was a wrong decision.
But he still couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.
After a while, Kenneth pulled back the covers and got out of bed. He changed his clothes, grabbed his
phone, and left through the gate of Harmony Villa, driving away.
