Heart Hunting

Chapter 142 Don’t You Dare to Touch Me!

Hilda kept Ethel behind her, pretending to be calm, “What do you want?”

Poppy laughed shortly and took out two boxes of ANP form her bag swaying in front of Hilda and then

threw them on the tea table, “These are my gifts for you in case you be raged to death. I’d love to keep

you longer for more fun.” She looked at Ethel and blinked at her maliciously, “You’ve got your share

too.”

“Bitch!”Ethel was so angry but could do nothing but cursed at her.

Hilda was so infuriated that she tried to slap Poppy but was stopped by Poppy instantly. Poppy

sneered, “Oh, i forgot to remind you. Kenny is my boyfriend. Don’t you dare to touch me. I can have

Green Company closed in any minute.” She really meant it. Hilda couldn’t do anything about it.

“Poppy Green!” Hilda said angrily.

“Don’t fly off the handle, Hilda. I wouldn’t like it if you just die of anger,” Poppy said coldly with a scary

look.

Hilda wished she could kill Poppy right now. She pushed the pills on the tea table to the floor and

shouted at Poppy, “Get out!”

“Phew! Dad has told me to visit frequently. I don’t like your ‘hospitality’...” She was not eager to leave

and looked at Ethel from head to toe, “and you, my dear elder sister.”

“Mom!” Ethel was so scared that she couldn’t even talk.

Hilda kept Ethel behind her, “Poppy, don’t you dare to touch my daughter.”

“Huh? Let’s wait and see.” She looked at them coldly and then walked towards the door. Suddenly, she

turned around and said looking at them profoundly, “Don’t forget the ANP. They can save you in case of

emergency.”

“Bitch, get out of here!” Hilda said furiously and threw a cup at her.

Poppy caught the cup and threw it backwards. The cup broke into pieces instantly. She pointed at the

pieces and said to them like a curse, “When I’m done playing with you. That’s how you end up.”

Hilda was so infuriated but she couldn’t do anything but watch her leave with arrogance.

Ethel was scared to crying. She asked, sobbing, “Mom, what should we do?”

Hilda was more annoyed with her daughter’s crying and yelled at her, “Shut up! You can do nothing but

cry. If you were half as clever as that bitch, i wouldn’t have been so troubled.”

It was getting dark and lights were on.

After Poppy left the Greens’ home in the afternoon, she went to visit her mom’s tomb. It had become

dark when she was back in her apartment. It was also getting cool as autumn was around the corner.

She had been to a few places today. It was a tough day but she had never been so happy. She had

come back to win everything.

When she reached the floor she lived, she took out her keys, getting hold of the handle and the door

was pushed open which surprised her. She stepped backwards and found the lock had been picked.

Had it been visited by thieves? She became cautious and walked inside carefully. She pressed the

button but the lights were not on. When she was at the hallway looking towards the living room, she

found a large heart of lighting candles which could hardly light up the living room where there were

ribbons and flowers. She was confused at all this. Suddenly, someone walked up behind her. She

quickly turned around and found it was Kenny holding a small cake with candles which lighted up his

face.

He said tenderly, “Happy Birthday!”

Poppy looked in doubt. It was her birthday?

Kenny looked at her and felt pity for her, “You forget your birthday, don’t you?”

Poppy looked at him lost. Yes. She did forget her birthday which she hadn’t celebrated for more than

10 years.

Kenny asked her to leave anything else behind and watch his majestic performance. Poppy laughed

with doubt, “What kind of majestic performance is it?”

Kenny counted three and started to sing, “Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you...”

That Kenny was singing happy birthday was a total surprise to Poppy who thought it to be childish. It

was the first time Poppy heard Kenny singing and she was quite impressed with his singing. It was so

pleasing although unaccompanied. He was born to be a singer.

Poppy watched his performance silently with emotions. She had never been so moved. Oh, how should

she comment on such a man who had risked his own life for her and prepared such a romantic birthday

ceremony for her?

After Kenny finished his singing, Poppy couldn’t help laughing out loud spoiling the fun, “Kenny, you

look so stupid.”

Kenny was kind of upset, “It took me a long time to prepare all this. All i get is that I look stupid?”

Poppy kept silent but her eyes was telling him that he did look stupid. She regretted not recording down

his funny performance just now.

“Make a wish and blow out the candles. Hurry up! I don’t want to keep holding the cake like an idiot.”

Kenny was so sad that his truthful and meaningful arrangement turned out to be stupid to Poppy.

Poppy was not in a hurry, taking her time looking at Kenny, “You know you would behave like an idiot.

Why still do it?”

“It’s all about you. Hurry up! Make a wish that we will be together forever.” Kenny suggested.

Poppy rolled her eyes at him, “It won’t come true if you say it out.”

“It’s OK. It’s just between us. Hurry up!” Kenny said in a low voice.

Poppy didn’t pay attention to his words. She made her wish sincerely and then blew out the candles.

Kenny looked at Poppy cryptically, “Now close your eyes, Poppy!”

“What have you got?” Poppy looked forward to it.

“Close your eyes. You will find it out.”

Poppy closed her eyes as he said. Kenny even covered her eyes with his hands in case she peek and

took her towards her room.

Poppy was so curious, “What have you got?”

“Shhh! Be quiet. You will find it out soon!”

They were in the room. Kenny made her sit on the bed with eyes closed and then he took out the gift

he had prepared. He sat in front of her and placed the gift on her hands, “Now you can open your

eyes.”

Poppy did as Kenny told her and said, “I’ve known that it’s a gift from you.”

Kenny patted on her head, “Brilliant! Do you know what it is?” He had been trying his best to prepare

the gift for her.

Poppy looked at the gift on her hands, which was a heavy square box in the size of an A4 paper. She

shook it and found there was no space in the box. That was the size of the gift.

“What is it?” Poppy couldn’t think of any gift of this size.

“Open it!”

“What’s so mysterious?” Poppy looked down to open the gift carefully and found it to be a delicate gift

box after taking off the wrapping papers.

Kenny suddenly stopped her trying to make her excited, “You really don’t know what it is?”

Poppy shook off his hand, “I don’t know. I’m done guessing. I’m opening it.”

She opened the gift box impatiently and was astonished to find inside it a crystal photo frame with a

picture of her and her mother long time ago. She touched the picture of her mother like her treasure. It

was a pity that she hadn’t taken any picture with her mother after she grew up. This was a great

comfort to her.

Poppy didn’t say anything so Kenny was not confident about his gift, “Do you like it?”

Poppy still didn’t reply. Kenny then talked to himself, “In order to get this picture, i have been a thief the

first time in my life.”

Poppy was emotional biting her lip. He had reminded her of her mom. She looked at the picture

recalling the life with her mom, which made her moved to tears. She seemed to hear the cute voice

calling “Mom, mom...” She was drowned in the emotions. She held the photo frame tight and said in a

low voice, placing her head on Kenny’s chest, “No talking! No moving!”

Kenny understood how she felt. He just hugged her tenderly without saying anything and patted on her

back comforting her.

Poppy couldn’t help crying. Last time she cried was when Kenny and she were in danger. She hadn’t

cried for more than 10 years. This was her second time crying since then. She was first moved by Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Kenny and then she was drowned in the memories of her mother. This was too much for her.

She cried in silence but Kenny knew that she was crying because his shirt was largely soaked by her

tears. He didn’t talk or move just like what he was told to do. He just held her and gave her support

silently.

Poppy had no idea how long she had been crying. When she stopped crying, Kenny moved slowly to

hold her head and said sincerely, kissing on her hair, “Poppy, from now on, I’ll be taking care of you and

keeping you accompanied in place of your mom. You don’t need to cry any more.”

All these tears were like saying goodbye to her past, being it good, bad, unforgettable or whatsoever.

Poppy’s eyes were particularly crystal clear after crying, which were like precious gems under the light.

She looked at Kenny passionately. She just noticed that she was totally moved by Kenny.

With the passion and proper atmosphere, Kenny bent down to kiss her tenderly on her eyes and then

her face which had been streaked by tears. When it came to her lips, Poppy trembled without resisting.

Everything just happened naturally. When they were kissing, she suddenly felt that it was so unreal.

Ever since she was back to her motherland, what had happened was like a dream to her.
