Shaun’s cold, distant face, gradually cooled down, even his eyebrows, were stained with a bone-piercing chill.
eyes

He put down his glass, raised his cold eyes, and looked at Chris. “What do you think?”
Chris ventured to speculate. “I think you like her a little. Otherwise, why would you splash her with wine after she said she slept with Brian?”
Shaun sneered. “She just broke up with me and slept with Brian. I had a hard time adjusting to it, so I taught her a lesson, and now I like her?”
When he said this, the coldness in his eyes had long since faded away, leaving only indifference, as if he did not care about the one to whom he had taught a lesson.
Chris was relieved to see him like this
His second brother was a germaphobe, he couldn’t accept a woman once his, turned to sleep with others, it was normal.
Moreover, as soon as Ginny returned, his second brother broke up with Jennifer, which was enough to show that in his mind, Miss Lim was not important as a stand-in.
Chris didn’t say anything more, raised his head to drink the wine in the glass, then got up and said: “Brother, I should head back first.”
Shaun didn’t reply but nodded nonchalantly.
Chris grew up accustomed to his cold temperament, he was not angry, just picked up his coat, and turned away.
It was stormy outside. The assistant got into the car with an umbrella. He told the assistant to drive downtown.
While waiting at a traffic light at the intersection, he saw Jennifer, dressed only in a gown, hailing taxis in the pouring rain.
She was petite, there was not much meat on her, rain-drenched dress, clinging to her skin, making her seem even more delicate and boneless.
Seaweed-like curly hair, stuck to her palm-sized face, messy, but did not affect her broken-like beauty.
Chris saw the taxis speeding past her, but none of them would stop to pick her up.
After a moment of hesitation, he ordered his assistant to drive the car in front of her.
Jennifer covered her eyes with her hands and saw a man walking toward her with an umbrella.
When the umbrella covered her head, she was stunned for a moment, slowly looking up at him…
In a trance, she saw Shaun five years ago…
She remembered that it was raining like this that day. She knelt in front of the nightclub and begged people to buy her for the night.
Many men came in and out to touch her, tease her, and laugh at her, but no one wanted to take her.
Only a man in a black overcoat, all cold and noble, holding an umbrella, walked over to her slowly.
When he held the umbrella over her head, covering all the storms for her, she seemed to see the reincarnation of god.
She crawled up to his feet in the dim light, grabbed the leg of his pants, and cried for him to buy her for the night.
The man looked down at her, there was no contempt or ridicule in his eyes, only asked in a cold voice, “Are you clean?”
She was nodding with a flushed face when the man reached out his long, beautiful hand to her.
When she put her hand into the palm of his strong hand, she was doomed for life…
“Get in the car. I’ll take you home.”
Chris opened the door in the back seat, and the soft sound, mixed with the rain, smashed down.
Jennifer came to her senses and saw Chris, Shaun’s cousin.
She and Shaun had split up, and she wasn’t supposed to have anything to do with the Murphys.
But her cell phone died, and she couldn’t get a taxi, and all the nearby stores that could shelter her from the rain were closed.
After a moment’s hesitation, she got into his car.
She was soaking wet, even soaking the back seat.
Jennifer grabbed a tissue from her purse and wiped the rug on her feet, blushing. “I’m sorry I dirtied your car,” she said
Chris saw her like this, and quickly stopped her, “There’s no need to wipe it, it’s just a rug, I could just get rid of it if it’s dirty.”
Jennifer’s hand, carefully scrubbing the carpet, paused.
She almost forgot, it was a Murphy who was kind enough to let her in.
The Murphys don’t care about a rug, even if it’s worth a fortune.
Jennifer put the tissue away and put it in her bag. She looked at Chris awkwardly and whispered, “Thank you.”
Chris waved his hand nonchalantly. “Where do you live?”
Jennifer stopped being coy and gave him her address. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The car started up quickly and drove in the direction of her home.
