Twinkling Star
Chapter 10 Promise Him Not to Cry

Stephen greeted her very graciously, "Elizabeth, today is not the weekend! Why did you come here today? With such a large suitcase!" Bob Fong moved the stool and asked Elizabeth to sit down and rest.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, gentle Joseph Butler poured Elizabeth a glass of boiled water, "Elizabeth, drink some water."

"Thank you!" Elizabeth took the water with a smile and sat down. She looked around, "Where is Conor?"

When she mentioned Conor, the three exchanged their eyes. After a pause, Stephen grinned and said, "He has gone to study!"

"Yes, yes!" Bob fumbled.

Joseph frowned and said nothing.

Elizabeth felt that the three of them seemed to be hiding something from her, so she took out her mobile phone from her handbag. Just when she was about to call Conor, Joseph suddenly came over and took her mobile phone away.

"There is no need to make the phone call. I'm going to take you to look for Conor directly!" Suddenly, Joseph said coldly.

Stephen and Bob immediately winked at Joseph and signaled him not to do that. Joseph glanced at Stephen and Bob, and then he completely ignored their reminders. He returned the phone to Elizabeth, and said, "Elizabeth, come with me!"

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the room door alone.

Elizabeth quickly said goodbye to Stephen and Bob, letting them take care of her suitcase. After she picked up her handbag, she immediately followed Joseph.

Stephen and Bob were left looking at each other.

Elizabeth followed Joseph's pace. Seeing Joseph had something in his mind, she could not help pursing her lips, and asked concernedly, "Joseph, what's the matter with you?" "After meeting Conor, promise me not to cry." Joseph said deeply as he was walking forward.

In fact, this was the matter of Conor and Elizabeth. Why should he intervene?

But...

Joseph frowned when he thought of this.

Elizabeth thought something bad happened to Conor. She asked anxiously with her hoarse voice, "Is there something wrong with Conor? Is he fine?"

"He is fine. Besides, he is living well." Joseph answered coldly.

On the way, no matter what Elizabeth asked, Joseph always used "After you arrive, you will know" to answer Elizabeth.

Elizabeth had to shut up wittily.

The two went to the back door of the school. Outside the back door was a spacious road. On the opposite side of the road were five or six-story residential buildings and a snack street.

Joseph led Elizabeth into an alley, and then there was a stainless steel fence door less than ten meters away after they turned into a corner.

Those who go in and out here were all paired young men and women.

Elizabeth understood something vaguely, but still couldn't believe the thought in her heart.

Joseph opened the stainless steel fence door and walked in. Elizabeth lowered her head slightly, and then followed in silently.

They went up to the third floor and stopped in front of a dark green security door.

Joseph took out a key from his trouser pocket, opened the door, and walked in alone.

After Elizabeth followed in, she realized that the house had four bedrooms with a living room, balcony, dining room and kitchen. It was three times the size of the small rental house she and Snow rented together.

Joseph went straight to the door on the far left and knocked gently.

Conor's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

"It's me!" Joseph answered.

Conor asked again, "Didn't you say to go back to the dormitory tonight? Why are you back again?"

"Come out. I have something to tell you." Joseph continued.

"Then wait a moment. I'll come out after I put on my clothes." Conor also responded.

Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice came from inside, "Joseph. Damn it. Why does he come back right now?"

"Honey, don't worry. After I ask him what the matter is, I'll come back and continue with you." Conor coaxed softly.

The sound coming from inside the room was not loud. Although it was not enough to hear what the persons inside was saying, it could tell besides Conor, there was a woman inside. Elizabeth just stood beside Joseph, so she heard clearly.

Apart from Conor, there was a woman in the room.

It was not time to go to bed now. Why did Conor have to get dressed before he could come out?

Elizabeth wanted to cry. Tears welled up into her eyes.

When Conor opened the door and saw Elizabeth standing beside Joseph, he was shocked instantly.

"Conor, what's wrong?" The woman's voice sounded again.

In the next second, the owner of the voice appeared in front of Elizabeth.

The long hair draped over her shoulders. She had fair skin, red lips and white teeth. There was light makeup on her face. She wore Conor's white shirt, showing two long and white legs.

"Oh, Joseph. You nerd. You finally got a girlfriend!" After the woman looked at Elizabeth, she sneered slightly.

Joseph squinted Rachel disapprovingly. When he was about to say something to Conor, Conor took a step ahead and interrupted what Joseph wanted to say.

"She is my cousin! From the country!" Conor said with a smile.

At this moment, Elizabeth's heart was so painful that even tears could not flow out. Only her lips were trembling slightly.

"Yes, your cousin came to look for you suddenly. So, I brought her here!" Joseph said coldly.

Conor leaned slightly and said softly to his girlfriend, Rachel, next to him, "Rachel, I will take my cousin to have dinner first. After she settles down, I will come back to accompany you. She came by the long- distance bus here. She must have not eaten dinner yet."

"Well, alright, I don't want to go out. I won't accompany your cousin!" Rachel said coquettishly. After a pause, she looked at Elizabeth and smiled slightly, "Little cousin, this is the first time we meet. Hello! I am your cousin's girlfriend, Rachel."

"You...how long have you been together...?" Elizabeth's voice was choked.

Rachel smiled shyly, and then intimately took Conor's arms and replied, "It's almost a year! Conor, right?"

"Alright. I'll take my cousin to have dinner." Conor quickly changed the topic.

Rachel nodded slightly and let go of Conor's hand.

Conor came out of the room and closed the door. His face suddenly changed. He glared at Joseph angrily.

Elizabeth didn't say anything anymore, but turned around to leave. She even ran away.

Conor hurriedly chased after her.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
