Chapter 65
"Young man, it's been a while!" A man, who in his fifties, came over and greeted Kevin. He patted Kevin's shoulder as he spoke.
"Hello, Uncle Law!" Kevin nodded slightly and responded politely.
The two people simply talked for a while, and the content seemed to be related to Kevin's mother.
Karen tried to eavesdrop to hear about Kevin's family. Unfortunately, in the short conversation, the elder did the most talking, Kevin just said a few simple words.
Kevin didn't talk much, especially on social occasions. He seemed to be more open with her.
Karen wondered, "Is it because she talked too much, so he was forced to talk more?"
"Who is this?"
The man suddenly changed the topic to Karen. Karen smiled politely, and she was about to answer, then she heard Kevin say, "My wife."
"You, you are married? Why haven't I heard of it?" Uncle Law was very surprised.
Compared to Uncle Law's surprise, Karen felt excited yet uneasy when she heard Kevin's introduction.
Uncle Law obviously knew Kevin's family...
So does this mean that he was telling his relatives about their relationship?
However, would they like her? Could they... stay until the end?
"Great, kid. She's very beautiful. But your father probably doesn't know about your sudden marriage. Ha-ha, doesn't he want you to marry Mia..."
"Uncle Law." Kevin suddenly interrupted him. His voice was more stern than before. "I have something to do. I have to go first."
Before he could respond, Kevin hurriedly pulled Karen away.
However, Karen had heard Uncle Law's words clearly.
Marry... Mia... Mia Kyle?
What did he mean?
But before she could ask, several men came over to greet Kevin, but Karen had no mood to listen to what they said. The words "marry Mia" echoed in her mind like a curse, lasting for a long time.
"Director Kyle, Uncle Tang has been waiting for you for a long time." After a while, Nick came over and said.
Kevin nodded and turned to look at Karen, only to find that Karen was lost in thought. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Karen came to her senses, shook her head, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Nothing."
Kevin frowned as if he did not believe Karen's answer. He looked down at her feet, but because her skirt was too long, he couldn't see her legs.
He looked up and said softly, "You have worn high heels for a long time. There is a rest area over there. You can sit for a while."
Kevin's attitude was gentle and considerate, and there was no trace of deception or hypocrisy in his eyes.
She questioned how she could have doubts over one simple sentence. "Hasn't he married me? What's there to doubt?"
After a pause, Karen nodded and looked at him with a smile. "I am no longer a child. I can take care of myself. Go and do your work."
To be honest, she did not want to rely too much on Kevin.
But what would happen to her if Kevin leaves her now?
If a woman was too dependent on a man, she would slowly lose herself.
Her family was the most typical example.
It was said that when her mother married into the Daly family, she had a good relationship with her father. Later, because her mother did not stand her ground, she gradually changed and became depressed.
Karen often saw her mother crying silently in her room when she was very young. At that time, she wanted to protect her mother and sister when she grew up.
However, those who she wanted to protect, ruthlessly abandoned her in the end, as if they never cared about her.
Karen didn't want to think about bad things in the past, but for some reason, she thought a lot recently.
Looking at Kevin's back, Karen clenched her fists in silence.
She didn't want to be tied up by the past. She's with him now.
The banquet was still going on. The sound of the conversation was endless. It was very lively.
The circle of the upper class was not big, but people around seemed to know each other. Not many people knew Karen so when she appeared with Kevin, it caused some commotion.
After Kevin left, some people also cast their eyes on him and watched him from afar, but no one came up to court him.
Tonight, they were not the most outstanding couple, because the main character should be the legendary leader, Leo Kyle, but he had not shown up yet. He was really mysterious.
Without anyone disturbing, Karen walked up to the lounge and sat down. As soon as she sat down, a waiter brought her snacks and tea. "Mrs. Kyle, this is what Mr. Kyle asked me to prepare for you. Please enjoy yourself."
Karen nodded and smiled. "Thank you!"
It seemed that Kevin worrying about her because she had not eaten dinner at night, so he arranged someone to send snacks to her so soon.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Karen was indeed hungry, so she couldn't resist her hunger and ate the snacks.
Well, the taste of the snacks were very good - crispy and sweet, full of taste.
She took another piece, and she just took a bite, then there was a person who sat down opposite her. "Karen, we are really destined. I didn't expect to see you here. Or did you come especially for me?"
"You, why are you here?" Seeing Charlie suddenly appear, Karen frowned. The delicious snack that she had just was now difficult to swallow.
Charlie chuckled, his eyes appeared arrogant and condescending. "Shouldn't I ask you, why are you here?"
Karen felt that Charlie's smile was extremely annoying, but she could not find any reason to refuse him—it was not unusual for him to come here. The Gook Family could be regarded as a member of the upper class, but she was a nobody.
However, Karen did not want to get in touch with this man. The man in front of her used to be the hero she had expected, but now, he was the person she didn't want to see anymore in her life. He was like a malignant tumor - when she touched it, it would be a disaster.
She didn't want to care about this man anymore. She got up and was about to leave, but Charlie grabbed her and said, "Karen, sit down. I want to talk to you." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Charlie deliberately raised his voice, and some people turned their eyes at them. For a moment, she became the focus again.
Karen did not want anyone to laugh at her, so she sat down obediently and said coldly, "Charlie, I have nothing to say to you. Please don't disturb my life anymore."
Hearing this, Charlie smiled. He suddenly got up and looked down at Karen. Then he let out a smile that he thought was charming and said, "But I have, so come with me."
His smile was so arrogant and obscene that it disgusted Karen.
