My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 239 There Must Be Something Wrong

Sometimes, people were like this. For those who had never made a mistake or who have made a very few mistakes, a little mistake would be exaggerated.

It worked the other way around as well. If a bad person did a little good deed, it would also be exaggerated.

Most of the time, people were more tolerant to the bad one.

Gloria Taylor didn’t know the truth about Si Chengyu’s scandal, but she knew for sure that his career suffered a fatal blow.

She was rooting for him for years. Now, her heart was complicated.

Along the way, Gloria Taylor’s mood was a little low. When they arrived home, she couldn’t help asking Kenny Clarke, “is it true?”

Gloria Taylor suddenly understood the reason Kenny Clarke gave Si Chengyu a second chance after Si Chengyu secretly took photo with her and dragged her to the trending topic.

This moment, she felt like she was in Kenny Clarke’s shoes at that time.

Aside from being Kenny Clarke’s cousin, as an actor who had been working for seven or eight years, Gloria Taylor didn’t want to believe that he could kill a small animal.

She had a roommate in college who didn’t like small animals. Once her roommate saw little cat or little dog, she would maintain the farthest distance from them, but she never hurt them.

Phycologist once stated that killing a small animals was a manifestation of mental disorder.

If the mental disorder was not solve in time, the target might change from animals to human.

In short, it was an alteration in mental status.

“Who cares if it’s true or false?” Kenny Clarke obviously didn’t care about this matter.

He cared about the aftermath.

When he saw Gloria Taylor frowned, he thought for a second and said, “I have never heard of this before. I’m not sure about the truth, but those who want to deal with him are prepared. If they dare exposing such scandal, they are not afraid of being found.”

There was no loopholes in the scandal.

“Do you mean that it is true?” her face slightly changed.

He patted her head, “Let’s go back to the bedroom and have a rest.”

He knew that Gloria Taylor was Si Chengyu’s fan. If it was true, she would be affected too.

She nodded, “Hm.”

She really needed to go back to her room to have a rest.

When she passed Leon Clarke’s room, she stopped.

As soon as they arrived, Leon Clarke went straight to his rom saying that he hadn’t come back for a long time, he wanted to see if it was still the same.

Suddenly, the door was opened from the inside.

“Sister Gloria?” Leon Clarke saw Gloria Taylor standing in his doorway with a face full of surprise. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She smiled faintly, “I just passed by. I’m going back to my room.”

Leon Clarke slightly lowered his head. She didn’t know what he was thinking, “Are you in a hurry?”

Gloria Taylor looked at him carefully. His eyes were a little red.

Instead of asking him what was wrong, she said, “Actually, I have nothing to do right now.”

It was obvious that Leon Clarke had something to say to her, but he pretended, “Can we watch movie together?”

“Sure.”

It was hard for teenagers to hide their feelings, but Gloria Taylor didn’t inquire much about it, not right now.

There was a projection room in the villa, but she had never been in it before.

This was her first time coming in.

The room was spacey and the sofa was wide. The sat in the same row with a box of potato chips waiting for the movie to start.

Leon Clarke chose the movie. It was a cartoon.

“Here we go.”

“Are you sure you want to see this?” Gloria Taylor asked.

Leon Clarke grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed it into his mouth. He said vaguely, “We should respect the old and love the young, you know? We can’t selfishly think about ourselves. We should think about my nephew.”

“Nephew?”

He pointed at her stomach, “Here he is.”

“……”

Gloria Taylor laughed, “He is still an embryo.”

He turned down the sound of the movie and asked curiously, “So, he can’t hear us?”

“Hm.”

Gloria Taylor bowed her head caressing her flat belly and looked up at Leon Clarke, “What do you want to say to me?”

“I know everything about my brother and cousin.” Leon Clarke sighed.

“Hm.” Gloria Taylor knew that he still had a lot to say. She didn’t interrupt.

“Like I said before, I spent more time with my cousin than with my parents and brother. My parents look very loving and my brother looks very gentle, but I always feel something off about them.”

“Off how?” Gloria Taylor asked.

Although Leon Clarke’s words were mysterious, Gloria Taylor could hear the truth in his heart.

“I couldn’t put my finger on it…” he scratched his head a little upset. He suddenly ran to nearby vase and plucked out a flower.

He showed the flower to Gloria Taylor, “Just like this flower. It is very beautiful and realistic, but it’s a fake”

“Do you mean that your family is fake?” she said the word ‘fake’ very quietly. She was not sure if Leon Clarke meant it.

“I feel like they all wear masks.”

He lowered his head. He frowned and his face looked very complicated.

Gloria Taylor didn’t know how his family’s situation nor how his parents were.

But, she knew that there must be something wrong with his brother, Si Chengyu.

She tentatively asked him, “Have you seen the news on the internet?”

“I saw it.” his face changed, “When I was young, there was a big white cat in our family. My cousin and I liked it very much. The cat often slept in my room, but one night, it went to my brother’s room. When I woke up the next morning, I saw it lying on the fence covered in blood.”

His voice trembled, “My mom said that it was killed by the German shepherd next door.”

Gloria Taylor couldn’t bear to ask again. She patted his head, “Don’t think about it. Since your mother said that it was killed by a German shepherd, it must be.”

Leon Clarke shook his head, “Sister, my neighbor said she always tied her dog in the yard. She wouldn’t lie because she also liked our cat.”

Gloria Taylor didn’t know what to say.

Leon Clarke was at his most rebellious phase, but he was also very sensitive.

He could keenly feel the change in the relationship between every family members.

According to him, apart from Si Chengyu who was exposed, the relationship between his parents was not as harmonious as it seemed.

There must be something wrong in their family.
