Chapter 6 Pretending To Be Strangers
When Thea returned to the car, Kenneth was scrolling through his phone. He glanced at her. “Have you found it?”
“Yeah, I dropped it on the way here.” She took out a pen and waved it in front of him.
Kenneth replied nonchalantly, “It’s just a pen. If you lose it, just forget it.”
“It’s a birthday present from you two years ago! It’s very meaningful to me, so I can’t bear to lose it.” With that, Thea put it away carefully.
Kenneth continued scrolling through the documents on his phone. Thea glanced at him and remarked, “Sally looks quite pretty. She’s quite charismatic too.”
He was stunned for a while. Without raising his head, he replied calmly, “Sure.”
“She’s your type, right?” asked Thea. She pretended to be asking it casually, but it was actually a careful test.
Kenneth looked at her, his gaze unfathomable. “What are you trying to say?”
Thea smiled. “Nothing. I just think that she’s pretty.”
“There are a lot of pretty girls out there, but it’s rare to find one with an interesting soul,” he replied.
“But even her beauty is rare,” said Thea. In fact, she was even jealous of how pretty that woman was.
Kenneth continued looking at his phone quietly.
Even though Thea had been with him for so long, she still could not read his mind. She averted her gaze and looked at the driver. “Start the car.”
Kenneth suddenly woke up in the middle of his dream.
In his dream, Natasha and two children were covered in blood. They waved as they moved further and further away from him…
When Kenneth sat up, his forehead was already covered in sweat.
He got out of bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The bright moon hung amongst the clouds, while stars dotted the night sky. He lit a cigarette.
