Chapter 54: One by One
The smile on Shireen Miller’s face grew more pronounced at the sight of Lorcan George appearing, and Blanche Capra, not understanding what she was up to, followed her line of sight towards the entrance to the set.
At that glance, Blanche Capra froze.
It hadn’t occurred to her that Lorcan George would be here at this hour. But on second thought, and so rightfully so, the whole world probably knew about yesterday.
She slightly lowered her eyes, a kind of emotion that was both helpless and guilty flowed under those good looking eyelids.
He still won t die ah …Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Shireen Miller sneered and sized her up, thinking that she was weak-minded, so she didn’t let go of this wonderful opportunity to be sarcastic, “Blanche Capra, why do you blush so hard when you see Young Master George coming over? It’s not because you’re weak, is it? Is it possible that one of the several boats you have stepped on is Young Master George?”
Mrs. Casey also looked that way, and Lorcan George came striding over, his eyes fixed on Blanche Capra, with such a complex and affectionate look that not only she, but everyone else in the room could see it.
She grunted heavily, “Miss Capra’s got a real knack for it, this is going to make us, the Charlie Group, and the George family all revolve around you? I’d like to see how you’re so capable!” Saying that, he stood up straight and took a step back, with a look of watching the show.
Lorcan George quickly stepped in front of Blanche Capra.
Blanche Capra couldn’t even retreat if she wanted to.
It was just as well that one and all were coming towards her today. But Lorcan George, he wasn’t like Shireen Miller and the others, she couldn’t afford to hurt him again and again, he was her childhood friend, since childhood.
But the hardest thing of all wasn’t that he still had expectations of himself.
In that case, let her cut off his expectations.
Lorcan, don’t blame me, said Blanche Capra, moving her lips slightly and speaking in a very soft voice, which was like an invisible powder, invisible in shape when it was raised, and as invisible as it was when it was dissipated into the air.
Lorcan George stood face to face with her, and she was as she had always been, beautiful and young, and stood there calm and dusty, like a statue of a goddess. Lorcan George felt that he had not seen her for only a few days, and when he faced her again, it was as if he had been alone for many years, with a heart of vicissitudes and bitterness.
There were so many things he wanted to ask her, but he didn’t know where to begin. The most important thing he wanted to ask was her relationship with York Charlie, whether it was like what the news said, already confirmed together. But when the words reached his mouth, they inexplicably spun on the tip of his tongue and came back, and the words that came out of his mouth were, “I kept calling you yesterday, why didn’t you answer?”
His voice is a little hoarse, but gentle to death, perhaps that mood has settled for a long time, perhaps his want to reach out and touch her but do not dare, his voice, there is a trace of imperceptible trembling.
Cautious.
Blanche Capra was almost afraid to look directly into his eyes, where it seemed like the deep sea was a deep sea, with waves of tenderness rippling over the surface, and that kind of beautiful scenery was not what she wanted to see. She didn’t know that he called her a lot, that she’d left her mobile phone in York Charlie’s car yesterday.
She really wanted him to die to her, so she told the truth, “Yesterday, the phone was left at York Charlie’s.”
Lorcan George’s mouth opened slightly, he didn’t expect her to answer him like that, he took another deep breath and asked her in the calmest tone possible, “Is it true what the news said? You and York Charlie …”
Blanche Capra doesn’t explain either, “It’s just like you saw it.”
It wasn’t a bad thing to say, she thought, if it would make him go away and die.
“Is it?” Lorcan George suddenly took a step forward and looked at her seriously, “You’re not lying to me? Didn’t you say that you and York Charlie weren’t on the same page? And how did you end up with him?”
He desperately needed answers.
He’d clearly heard her say it herself, she’d reassured him, she’d said that she and York Charlie weren’t even on the same page …
He reached out anxiously and grabbed Blanche Capra’s arm.
He felt as if she were a balloon, as if she would float away at any moment, and she had such a calm expression on her face now, so calm that he felt afraid. He was so afraid that she would show such an expression!
Blanche Capra moved, not shaking off his hand, his grip so tight, so firm.
“I’m not all the way with you either.” She said calmly.
Lorcan George instantly blanched and looked at her incredulously, pointing at himself again, “I’m not all the way with you? Blanche Capra do you know what you’re saying?” He was angry, and for the first time he questioned her by calling her by her full name so harshly.
“I’ve played with you since we were kids, we’ve spent so many years together, we’re that good of friends. Now, you’re actually telling me that we’re not all the same!” He laughed in exasperation, as if he had heard some great joke, a joke that was anything but funny.
Blanche Capra’s heart ached slightly, but she just frowned, “Lorcan, let go of me.”
Lorcan George couldn’t hear a thing she was saying, he shook his head firmly, “I won’t, I won’t let go of you!” He heard her and knew that she had double entendre, both for him to let go of her hand and for her to let go of her love for her once and for all.
But how could that be possible?
For so many years, almost deeply rooted, the feelings that had grown in one’s heart. How could one say let go and dig it up? Isn’t that plucking out his heart and asking him to die?
“little sweetheart, what’s so great about that York Charlie? How can he compare to all the years of our relationship?” Lorcan George was angry and resentful, and his voice was raised much higher.
It was at this point that a group of reporters poured in, the camera flashes reflecting on Blanche Capra’s face like a bolt of lightning, and the reporters’ shell-shocked questions exploding like a clap of thunder.
“Young Master George, is it true what you just said, that Miss Blanche Capra really abandoned you and failed your relationship for years?”
“Miss Blanche Capra, please answer, did you abandon Young Master George and turn to the arms of President Charlie?”
“Miss Blanche Capra, before Young Master George gave you 999 roses, high profile show of love, how come in but half a month, you appeared in the restaurant and President Charlie show of love again, whose girlfriend are you really?”
The reporter’s cross-examination, one more sharp than the other, Blanche Capra’s brain is in chaos, simply has not yet thought of a more secure answer, but she knows that if she does not know how to answer, do not say anything.
Let her say a word, and maybe a reporter would catch on and deliberately twist her meaning.
But just because she didn’t say anything didn’t mean no one did.
Shireen Miller suddenly stood out and said in a loud voice, “I see Miss Capra is the girlfriend of several people, and she can’t figure it out herself. So for such a difficult question to answer, it’s better for all of you media reporters not to give her a hard time!”
Half of the reporters instantly smelled the gossip and crowded in front of Shireen Miller, “Miss Miller, what do you mean? Do you know something?”
Shireen Miller then flashed an inscrutable smile.
“Miss Miller, as the Charlie Group, President Charlie’s ex-girlfriend, for what reason did you separate from President Charlie?”
Shireen Miller’s face changed when she heard the words “ex-girlfriend”, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m the fiancée of Mrs. Casey’s personally appointed President Charlie!”
She leaned towards Mrs. Casey affectionately, so the camera focused on both of them, even the reporters on Blanche Capra’s side pushed towards Shireen Miller, and as a result, because the people were already surrounding Blanche Capra, this push pushed Blanche Capra over as well.
Lorcan George tried to protect her and took her in his arms.
Over there Mrs. Casey also had to speak up, with a demure smile, and said, “Yes, that’s right. Missy Miller is the future daughter-in-law of my THE Charlie family.”
The reporters were eager to dig up more explosive news, but instead they heard a magnetic low voice say, “Oh? Mum, how come I didn’t know that you have a son besides me?”
