Chapter 320 Mr. Ryan You're Out of My League (2)

The atmosphere inside was weird.

Kenneth's finger traced over the card and his expression became sombre. No one could tell what he was thinking.

Eloise stood in the doorway, with tears in her eyes.

She was like a poor puppy.

Kenneth slowly got up and walked toward the door. Violet seemed to realize something and called out to him, "Kenneth!"

Kenneth didn't seem to hear her and paced to the door. His tone was gentle and loving as he said, "Why are you following me here?"

Eloise looked up at him.

So did Violet and the other people inside.

After a long moment, Eloise said, "I forgot the autograph!"

She was obviously lying.

Everyone in there could tell it, but no one dared to call her out on her lie.

Because Eloise was special to Kenneth.

A smile slowly lit Kenneth's face. Then he turned his head and said, "Violet, this is your fault! Give her your autograph so that she can go home early." Violet was amazingly good at being nice.

Immediately, she opened her handbag, took out a fragrant photo, and signed her name on it. Her bottom wiggled as she walked over to Eloise. She handed the autograph to Eloise and teased, "Your Uncle Ryan is right. It's my fault!"

Eloise muttered a thank you.

She refused to look at Kenneth again, but Kenneth kept staring at her...

When Eloise turned to leave, Kenneth asked someone to drive her home.

"No need!" Eloise shook her head wildly. "I drove here."

Kenneth then said nothing more. He reached out, as if to stroke her hair, but finally dropped his hand and smiled, "Drive safe."

Eloise merely said, "Hmm." Then she turned to leave.

From beginning to end, Eloise did not question or complain about Kenneth because they were not lovers. There was nothing going on between them.

She was not even allowed to like him!

The luxurious bronze door closed slowly.

Inside, Kenneth resumed playing cards with Violet in his arms.

But Eloise was all alone. Her shadow lengthened as the lights above shone down the hallway.

...

A lively bustle resumed in the private room.

Violet snuggled up to Kenneth, serving him gently. Santiago and his friends teased, "You should have let her stay, Kenneth. She always tags along behind you like a puppy. Why did you let her go?"

Kenneth bantered a bit with them.

However, he suddenly got upset. He wasn't supposed to feel this way.

Kenneth was single and of course, he needed a woman. Eloise walked in on him with Violet just now, but it was not a big deal. Eloise and Kenneth were not in a relationship, so she was not in a position to stop him from fooling around. But he just felt uncomfortable.

"I'm out!"

In the end, Kenneth put his cards aside and left the party.

The room was quiet.

After a long moment, Violet forced a smile and said very softly, "Are you not feeling well? Go to my place and I'll give you a massage. You always have too much on your plate."

Santiago chimed in, "Yeah, let Ms. Harris take care of you."

Kenneth didn't want to embarrass Violet.

He would just let her!

Violet's home was elegant. Thinking that Kenneth would come, she had asked the maid to light a lamp in the bedroom.

This was Kenneth's favorite style.

Kenneth leaned back on the sofa, his eyes closed. He enjoyed Violet's company.

Violet leaned beside him and hummed softly. The tight-fitting dress set off her thin waist and soft breasts, making her look more alluring.

Kenneth listened for a while, but the more he listened, the more disturbed he became. He gently opened his eyes.

Violet crouched beside him and begged softly, "Stay with me for the night, will you?"

Almost all men were tempted to stay with such a beautiful lady.

However, Kenneth couldn't stop thinking of Eloise, who acted like she didn't care with tears in her eyes.

Nudging Violet out of the way, Kenneth put on his shoes and said in a businesslike tone, "I've got a lot to do tomorrow morning. It's a bit out of my depth!" Violet was upset.

Clearly, this was just his excuse...

Kenneth pinched her face and coaxed, "I'm quite busy. Really!"

Violet stomped her feet but didn't dare take it out on him.

Kenneth walked out of the house. Kaleb, who was waiting in the car, was surprised to see him and asked, "You're not with Ms. Harris tonight?"

Kenneth hopped in the car and did not answer.

After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Do you think the little thing will be mad at me?"

Kaleb was confused.

Later, he realized who Kenneth was talking about and said with a smile, "Oh, she's just a little girl and will forget it in a few days."

Kenneth smiled faintly.

Kaleb was right. Eloise had a baby bottle in her bag. How long could her infatuation last?

Kenneth closed his eyes and whispered, "Go to the Clarks' mansion."

Late at night.

Right after Alexander went to bed, a maid came upstairs and knocked on the door, saying that Kenneth's car was outside.

The maid repeated, and Alexander finally sat up straight.

Brianna put on her clothes but then was stopped by Alexander. Alexander said through his gritted teeth, "Kenneth must have a bad time. That's why he is in our doorway in the middle of the night!"

But Alexander had to deal with it.

Benjamin and Madelyn were not yet married. Alexander still had to be nice to Kenneth.

Alexander slipped into his coat and came down the stairs with a smiling face. He greeted Kenneth warmly and said, "Oh, Kenneth, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Gredax? Or I would have held a dinner for you."

Standing in the hall, Kenneth looked incandescent.

He smiled, "Well, it's not too late!"

Alexander's wrinkled face stiffened. "Now?"

Was Kenneth kidding?

It was almost 10 p.m., and Kenneth still wanted a banquet. He must be crazy!

While they were talking, a girl in a white lace nightdress slowly walked down the stairs. Her long raven hair was loose and her eyes were red from crying.

It was Eloise.

She heard the noise, then went downstairs and saw Kenneth.

What was he doing here?

Kenneth was as relaxed as he could be, smiling at Eloise as if she were a kid.

Under the light, her face was pale.

Alexander did not notice it. He ordered the butler to prepare the food and said to Eloise, "You're down here. Go greet your Uncle Ryan."

Eloise's lips moved, but nothing came out.

She swung around and ran upstairs.

Alexander shook his head and said to Kenneth, "She's spoiled! Don't mind her, Kenneth."

Kenneth looked upstairs and smiled, "It's fine. She's just such a baby."

The butler brought over the food and wine. Alexander dined and chatted with Kenneth for more than an hour, but he still didn't know what Kenneth was here for...

In the wee hours of the morning, Kaleb helped Kenneth into the car.

Kenneth drank too much wine. He leaned back in his seat and thought, "I'm going back to Vadiff in the morning, but Eloise is still mad at me."

He had to cheer her up.

Kenneth called Eloise, but she didn't answer. After seven or eight beeps, he hung up the phone.

He couldn't tell how he felt. His heart was aching dully.

In fact, Kenneth should not have fallen in love, let alone with a girl much younger than him... Even if he kept denying it and telling the people around him that she was just his junior, he couldn't lie to himself that she meant nothing to him.

He couldn't start a relationship with her, but he kept thinking of her...

Kenneth opened the window and let the wind blow in to clear his head. After a long moment, he played it cool and bantered with Kaleb. "I'm sorry for all this!"

A lot of women liked Kenneth.

That was partly because of his wealthy family or his good looks... Kenneth couldn't even remember their names.

But Eloise was special. Kenneth cared much about her.

They neither had sex before nor were publicly in love... They just had a meal together. She took a nap in his bedroom and he kissed her once.

She called him Uncle Ryan...

For a long time, he hadn't heard from her.

After learning that Madelyn got pregnant, the Clark family came to her door and planned the marriage. Kenneth assumed that Eloise would come along. After all, she liked the crowds.

But Eloise didn't show up...

Kenneth was a little disappointed and thus away from the hustle and bustle. He smoked half a pack of cigarettes alone.

The day Madelyn and Benjamin held a wedding.

Kenneth finally saw Eloise. She was in a beautiful blue dress, the purest shade of blue he had ever seen. She was among the group of girls, cold and distant, so he could only see her from a distance. Kenneth thought, "That's good."

What could he say to her when he met her? He had nothing to offer her.

They would never get together.

There were obstacles that stood between them, like status and age.

Kenneth didn't dare to think that Eloise's love for him would be able to withstand any tests... He was forced to give her up before he could tell her his true feelings.

But he still missed her.

He hadn't contacted any of his confidantes for a long time...

Unaware of the inside story, Santiago said that Kenneth switched to a chaste life. But only Kenneth himself knew that he was accidentally in love with Eloise!

On a business trip to Esrand, Kenneth freed up some time on his schedule and lined up to buy two bunny dolls.

He heard that it was called StellaLou.

Girls all loved it.

Kenneth brought two dolls back to the office, and Kaleb couldn't help laughing. "How cute they are! Aren't you going to Gredax on business next week? Eloise will surely be happy to have them." Kenneth lit a cigarette and looked askance at Kaleb. "Who told you I bought them just for her? One is for Madelyn, and one is for Eloise, okay? I bought them not just for Eloise!"

Kaleb quickly said, "Yeah, you did this mainly for Ms. Green."

Kenneth then let Kaleb off the hook...

With no one else around, Kenneth couldn't help but think that Eloise would be happy to have the doll.

Girls were supposed to be lively and cheerful...
