My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 503 Unpleasant Smile

Tina Clarke showed great curiosity toward Gloria Taylor’s words, “Smoke and feel full?”

She knew what smoking meant, but she was surprise that smoking could make one be full.

Gloria Taylor smiled, “This is your father’s special skill. You just need to know that your father is full.”

Tina Clarke nodded clumsily.

***

When Gloria Taylor and Tina Clarke came back from dinner, the room was unusually quiet.

Gloria Taylor turned on the lights, looked around, and set her eyes on Kenny Clarke’s door.

She didn’t have to push the door open to know that Kenny Clarke wasn’t there. She knew it because she didn’t smell his scent around.

She couldn’t tell what feeling it was, but she could feel it as soon as she entered the door whether Kenny Clarke was there or not.

Right after she was inside, her eyes paid special attention to his door.

The ashes and the cigarette butts were gone. She was surprised to know that Kenny Clarke actually cleaned them up.

She imagined Kenny Clarke swept the floor with a broom.

She had never seen him doing it. It happened only in her imagination.

But, Tina Clarke ran to push his door opened as soon as she was inside, “Dad?”

She tried to open the door a few times, no one responded to her. She casted a puzzled look at Gloria Taylor, “Mom, Dad won’t open the door.”

The little girl thought that Kenny Clarke was in the room.

“He’s probably asleep.” Gloria Taylor walked over and took her to the bathroom, “You have to go to bed early.”

It was getting late. Tina Clarke looked sleepy when she was eating.

When Gloria Taylor bathed her, Tina Clarke dozed off like a little chicken.

After tucking her to sleep, Gloria Taylor closed the door and came out. She took her phone and search his number in the phonebook. Her finger hesitated for a while, but finally she didn’t dial his number.

It was clearly his fault. Why would she reach out first?

Even if she reached out and made up with him first, the problem between them would still remain unsolved.

She didn’t know what Kenny Clarke was thinking.

Early in the morning, Shi Ye received a call from Kenny Clarke. He asked him to go to the villa to fetch him daily necessities and a pair of clothes and send it to the company.

After hanging up, Shi Ye had some doubts.

Young Master lived with the Young Lady, didn’t he? Why did he suddenly ask him to fetch him a pair of clothes and send it to the company?

Did they have a fight?

When Shi Ye arrived at the company, his doubts were confirmed.

The whole day, Kenny Clarke looked down.

He was in a bad mood. The way he talk was harsher compared to usual.

When Shi Ye got off work in the evening, he went to Kenny Clarke’s office to bring some documents over as an excuse. He was actually coming because Gloria Taylor asked him to urge Kenny Clarke to go home for dinner three times via text message.

“Young Master, shall I drive you back today?”

“No.” Kenny Clarke replied without looking up.

“Can I get off work now?” Shi Ye asked tentatively.

When Kenny Clarke heard this, he looked up, “Get off work?”

Shi Ye nodded and also looked up, “It’s almost nine o’clock.”

“You were never in a hurry to go home before.” Kenny Clarke said inexplicably.

“My wife is waiting for me to have dinner at home.” he smiled when he mentioned ‘wife’.

The smile was unpleasant in Kenny Clarke’s eyes.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at Shi Ye for a moment. Suddenly, he stood up, took his coat and walked out.

When he walked past Shi Ye, he simply said, “Let’s go.”

“Where are you going, Young Master?” Shi Ye followed.

“I’m going to Jin Ding for dinner.”

Shi Ye had to drive him to Jin Ding.

He thought that he could go home after sending Kenny Clarke to Jin Ding, but when he opened the door for him, he seemed to inadvertently say, “Let’s eat together.”

“Young Master…” Shi Ye wanted to refuse, but Kenny Clarke had already strode inside the building. Now, his tall and straight figure was gone under the bleak light.

He didn’t want to have dinner with Kenny Clarke at all. He wanted to go home and have dinner with his wife and children.

He was old and homesick.

But, Kenny Clarke had given his order. What else could he do?

Of course, he had to go in.

Kenny Clarke was feeling extravagant today that he ordered a table full of dishes.

But, these were light dishes.

These were not Kenny Clarke’s taste. Shi Ye had known him for years. He knew that Kenny Clarke was keen on spicy food.

The two adults were sitting face to face without saying a word. The atmosphere was awkward.

Shi Ye suspected that Kenny Clarke was fighting with Gloria Taylor and wouldn’t go back home for dinner, so he wouldn’t let Shi Ye go back to have dinner with his family and deliberately dragger him

here.

Kenny Clarke noticed the expression on his assistant’s face. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you this reluctant to have dinner with me?”

“No.” Shi Ye denied it.

Then, he sighed and boldly asked, “Young Master, are you… fighting with the Young Lady?”

Kenny Clarke was picking vegetables with his chopstick. When he listened to Shi Ye’s question, he became hostile.

He took his hand back and put the chopstick on the table. He looked at Shi Ye with a blazing anger. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“I’m just casually asking. If Young Master is willing to tell me, maybe, I will be able to help you with it.” Shi Ye sincerely said it.

He knew Kenny Clarke and Gloria Taylor. If they happened to fight, most of the time, it was because of Kenny Clarke.

Kenny Clarke didn’t reply immediately. Shi Ye lowered his head waiting for him to speak.

After a while, Kenny Clarke found his voice, “Do you think James Moore is messing with Gloria’s head?”

“Mr. Moore’s origin is unknown. He must have other purposes related to the young lady.”

There was no doubt about this.

“Even if you say that James Moore has a motive related to Gloria, she said that there was nothing between them.” Kenny Clarke snorted coldly.

Shi Ye frowned at his respond, “Young Master, I think Mr. Moore’s purpose toward the young lady is not necessarily love. He may also have purposes.”

Kenny Clarke still couldn’t get rid of this problem. He always felt that men who were close to Gloria Taylor had feelings for her.

He was insecure, suspicious, and paranoid.

Shi Ye had long noticed this problem in Kenny Clarke since he was in his early twenties.

When he first came to work for Kenny Clarke, Kenny Clarke didn’t really trust him.

Later, after a long time, Kenny Clarke grew older and became more restrained. He wouldn’t this unreasonable.

However, he had this problem with Gloria Taylor.

At the end of the day, it was related to what Kenny Clarke experienced when he was young.

After what happened, Kenny Clarke was somewhat mentally handicapped.

Sometimes, he became paranoid and insecure which was understandable.

But, if he kept this habit for a long time, it would not be a good thing.
