Chapter 219 Powerlessness
Cecilia Glendon does not remember when Benson senior left, only that when the waiter came to collect the glasses, she was still sitting motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Her mind was still filled with the words that Benson senior said when he left: Think about it.
What was she told to consider?
Oh … seems to be telling her to leave Abbott Benson.
Cecilia Glendon always felt that all this happened too fast … she obviously just a few days with Abbott Benson and reconciliation, Benson old man even so short a few days are not willing to give.
When she made up with Abbott Benson, she said that no matter what happened, she would not break up with him voluntarily, but now this, she can still hold on to it?
Cecilia Glendon couldn’t figure it out, she couldn’t come up with any answers, and finally had to leave the cafe in a daze, then walk back to the supermarket parking space and start her car to go home.
Abbott Benson originally said he would be back at seven, but Cecilia Glendon arrived home at seven o’clock, she took the key and opened the door, it was still dark inside, no lights on.
He didn’t come back …
Cecilia Glendon stood in the dark entryway for a while before changing her shoes and entering.
She bought a lot of vegetables in the supermarket before, and some dumplings, but they had been left in the car for so long that they had long melted, so the dumplings were crowded together.
After putting all the dishes in the refrigerator, Cecilia Glendon carried the dumplings to the kitchen, where she boiled the water and put the dumplings in.
When I say dumplings, I might as well say pastry.
Cecilia Glendon was standing at the flow table, using chopsticks to slowly separate those dumplings one by one, but every time she separated one, the outside skin was rotten and the inside filling ran out.
She stood and slowly shared the dumplings while crying.
She and Abbott Benson are like these dumplings, originally hard and ignoring each other, but when they have been together for a long time, the ice in each other began to melt, and then mixed together, becoming inseparable existence.
If we have to force a separation, the consequence must be a lose-lose situation.
But what could she do? Do you really want to see Duke destroyed by Benson senior?
Whenever she encounters this kind of powerlessness, Cecilia Glendon hates herself immensely for not being able to be better … she is better, she can be with Abbott Benson openly and without so much obstruction.
When Cecilia Glendon was crying in front of a pot of dumpling soup, there was a sudden sound of a door opening in the entrance, followed by the door being closed again, and then a sound of changing shoes.
Cecilia Glendon hadn’t reacted yet, and only had time to turn around to see that Abbott Benson had walked in.
He heard a movement in the kitchen and looked over just in time to see Cecilia Glendon standing in the kitchen with teary eyes, the light shining on her body, lighting up her face to look even paler.
Abbott Benson did not expect to see such a scene when he returned, and he hurried towards her: “What’s wrong? Who bullied you?”
The tension in his voice was for her, and he couldn’t even suppress it.
Cecilia Glendon didn’t even say anything before he was already in front of her, holding her face tenderly: “What’s wrong?”
Cecilia Glendon didn’t know how to explain but to clench her hand, which was still holding the chopsticks.
“The dumplings … fell apart.” Cecilia Glendon made a far-fetched excuse and said with red eyes.
“It fell apart?” Abbott Benson froze and glanced behind her and really saw a pot of dumplings that were all cooked and scattered, a little helpless, “You’re crying when the dumplings are cooked and scattered?”
“Because hungry …” Cecilia Glendon’s stomach growled appropriately twice, “You never came back, and I was afraid the stir-fry would get cold.”
“It’s okay, I’ll take care of it here.” Abbott Benson patted her head, then took the chopsticks from her hand, “Go sit down for a while, I’ll cook for you.”
Cecilia Glendon took two steps and asked, “Are you going to cook?”
Abbott Benson said, “Well, what?”
“It’s late …” Cecilia Glendon looked at the time, it was almost eight o’clock, if you cook and eat at this time, later Abbott Benson rest time will be pulled late again, he is so busy lately Needs sleep at night.
But while Cecilia Glendon was worried about him, he thought it was because Cecilia Glendon was hungry and didn’t want to wait, and after some hesitation, he asked, “Then eat the noodles and put an egg in it for you, okay? That one’s quick.”
Cecilia Glendon nodded, “I’ll get your noodles.”
Abbott Benson didn’t stop either, and while she went to get the noodles, he went ahead and disposed of the pot of dumpling soup that Cecilia Glendon had cooked.
He was smart enough to know how good a cook Cecilia Glendon was. She must have had something on her mind to cook the dumplings like that, and her crying must have had something to do with it.
Abbott Benson does not want to know, but he understands that now this situation even if he asked, Cecilia Glendon will not necessarily say.
If she would have said it, she would have said it when she asked herself just now.
The egg noodles were quick to make, and for fear that Cecilia Glendon would not feel comfortable eating them, Abbott Benson added a few vegetable leaves to the mix, making the whole bowl look even better than the ones sold outside.
Cecilia Glendon usually does not eat a lot of noodles, but today she ate with extra care, her head almost buried in the bowl.
Abbott Benson finished the bowl of noodles in three bites, wiped his mouth and sat quietly across from her watching her eat.
Cecilia Glendon ate in a hurry and her forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat. Abbott Benson drew Taylor paper to help her wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Feeling his movement, Cecilia Glendon looked up at him, “Are you full?”
“Hmm.” Abbott Benson nodded.
“Has the company been busy?” Cecilia Glendon asked again.
“It’s okay.” Abbott Benson said, “Is it too late for me to get off work …”
“No, don’t you think so.” Cecilia Glendon shook her head in a rush.
In the past, Abbott Benson, no matter how busy, will still leave work on time, but recently this period, his on-time work seems to have been thrown into outer space, as to why it will be so busy, or with today’s Benson senior looking for her things related to it.
Benson senior may see Abbott Benson can sit with his own power to such a point, but at the same time, he will not let Abbott Benson just so easily get rid of his control over him.
In the end, no one knows what was on Benson senior’s mind.
“What’s wrong with you?” Abbott Benson looked at her strangely, “You don’t look right today.”
“I’m fine …” Cecilia Glendon bit her lower lip and buried her head again to eat the noodles, this time she ate slowly, one by one, “You still have injuries on you, I’m just worried about your injuries. Don’t be too tired at work, your body is most important.”
Usually Cecilia Glendon will also tell Abbott Benson so, but he just felt that today Cecilia Glendon always speaks with words.
This strange feeling lasted for a while until it was time to make love and go to bed, he went to finish his shower and came out, she was already sleeping alone on her side of the bed.
