Chapter 107: The Heart’s Retreat
After Mrs. Casey left, Blanche Capra sat down on the sofa as if she had lost her strength.
The road ahead was the unpredictable distance of the future, an untold number of hardships and obstacles, and she, herself, could not retreat, but only advance. Whether she loved York Charlie or not, she could only move forward, not backward! What’s more, she still loved him and couldn’t let go of him, then this road of hers, would be even harder to walk.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Blanche Capra is feeling depressed, after dealing with Shireen Miller, she has to deal with Mrs. Casey, and then Moore Howard pops up from time to time, and even, she has to hide and plot with York Charlie.
It’s just too much work.
Blanche Capra went to the pub alone, in such a depressed mood, and drank a glass of wine to drown her growing sorrows.
“Beauty, what’s the point of drinking alone? How about having a few drinks with your brothers?” Suddenly three men leaned over, lecherous smiles on their faces.
Blanche Capra shook her head and refused, but one hand was on her shoulder, Blanche Capra pushed him away and stood up directly, a hand lifted the table in front of her, bottles and cans rolled all over the place.
“Yoo-hoo, chick is quite stubborn, do you know it’s your honour to drink with your brothers?”
Blanche Capra sneered, “It’s your honour if you don’t mess with me!”
Before those three could react, the bar owner rushed over and pointed at her with an angry face, “You have a big mouth! You’re here to smash the venue, aren’t you?!”
A few thugs behind the hotel owner followed, “You guys hurry up and arrest her!”
Blanche Capra was forced to jump onto the table, several thugs also forced up to try to grab her down, just when Blanche Capra didn’t know what to do, a man suddenly stood there where the light and shadow floated, and said loudly, “Who dares to touch her? I’ll make him crawl out!”
Everyone in the room froze for a moment.
Blanche Capra saw those glittering peach blossom eyes and, like a drowning man finally grabbing a piece of driftwood, she excitedly jumped off the table and ran straight towards him and jumped into his arms.
Blanche Capra had been holding back her panic and fear, forcing herself to pretend to be calm and collected, but when she grabbed Lorcan George, it was as if she had reached her limit and couldn’t hold back any longer, and she threw herself into his arms and cried out in pain.
“Lorcan! take me … take me out of here!” Blanche Capra choked out.
Lorcan George nodded heavily and prepared to take her away when the barman stopped them, “She smashed my stuff, she’ll have to pay for it!”
Lorcan George just pulled out his wallet and flung a bunch of notes at him.
The bar owner and his thugs were backing away, but the three men who coveted Blanche Capra wouldn’t stop, “What’s the point of walking away? This chick hasn’t even had a drink with the boys yet!”
Lorcan George slammed a fist up and the man who had spoken was caught off guard and knocked to the ground.
Before the crowd could react, Lorcan George pulled Blanche Capra and ran off, the three men chased after him in anger, but for a moment they could not see Lorcan George and Blanche Capra.
Lorcan George embraced Blanche Capra and came out from the corner after the three men had completely run away.
Blanche Capra thought of just in the bar of the thrill, and now finally escaped, want to laugh, laugh and laugh in the heart and began to flood the bitter water, gradually laughed out of tears, she reached out to wipe the tears at the corners of their eyes, but how to wipe not clean, she felt helpless and feel too useless, under the sadness of a complete cry out.
Lorcan George on the sidelines to see such emotional changes in her, feel heartbroken, he did not know what exactly she thought of, laughing and crying, can only be heartbroken to take her into his arms, as a way to express his care and comfort for her.
Lorcan George looked at Blanche Capra, who was crying in her arms with sadness and pain, and secretly vowed that he would become strong and never let anyone hurt her again!
After an unknown amount of time, Lorcan George offered to take Blanche Capra back.
Blanche Capra by now has calmed down, crying red eyes will also return to normal, wait until York Charlie’s villa door, Blanche Capra only turned her head to ask Lorcan George, “How do you know I live here?”
Lorcan George smiled bitterly, “Is it hard to know that? I only blame myself for my inability to protect you and shelter you in a safe and warm place as well.”
Blanche Capra looked at the villa with its deep courtyard and thought about Lorcan George’s words in her mind, and suddenly she was deterred, she didn’t want to walk in there anymore, she wanted to get out of here.
“Lorcan, take me somewhere else! I don’t want to live here anymore.” She said.
Lorcan George froze, what did she mean by that, she didn’t want to be around York Charlie anymore? Lorcan George was happy and worried about her, had York Charlie done something to hurt her?
“little sweetheart did you … something happen?” He asked.
Blanche Capra shook her head and whispered, “Take me away, okay?”
Lorcan George didn’t press the issue any further and gently took her hand and was about to lead her away.
As soon as Blanche Capra turned around, she froze.
She looked at the visitor, York Charlie, who had just returned, but York Charlie’s gaze shifted from her face to the hands she and Lorcan George were holding.
Blanche Capra was subconsciously about to withdraw her hand, but held it back.
She had to go, Blanche Capra told herself clearly.
Lorcan George saw Blanche Capra lowered her head and didn’t look at York Charlie at all, he felt happy at the same time, the little sweetheart finally ignored that unbearable York Charlie and chose to stand on his side! She didn’t even want to look at him!
So Lorcan George took Blanche Capra’s hand and led her out of York Charlie’s sight.
But York Charlie was moving faster than they were, and Blanche Capra heard his footsteps as if her heart was being ripped out of her chest, and when they were no longer audible, Blanche Capra couldn’t calm down any longer, and violently shook off Lorcan George’s hand.
She turned to look back and saw York Charlie’s cold back fading into the shadows of the endless trees.
Lorcan George’s heart ached when he saw Blanche Capra looking at York Charlie’s disorientated appearance, but he still endured the pain to pull Blanche Capra’s arm instead of her palm.
He spoke in a bitter voice, “Didn’t you want me to take you away? Let’s go!”
Blanche Capra then followed Lorcan George out of Charlie manor’s door and out of York Charlie’s sight as he stood on a tall building looking through a window.
York Charlie took bottle after bottle of wine out of the liquor cabinet and sipped it all alone in an air of boredom.
He didn’t understand why he liked Blanche Capra so much, so much that he couldn’t let go of her, so much that he couldn’t put a grain of sand in his eyes. Was it because she looked like Brandi, was it because he couldn’t let go of Brandi?
York Charlie for the first time felt a difficult problem that he did not know how to solve, he did not want to believe that he could fit two women in his heart at the same time, but there is no reason to explain this strange state of his own.
Clearly in love with one woman, but always thinking of another when he looked at her, sometimes, how he wished, she and her are the same person.
