My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 514 Getting Rid of Him

Kenny didn't walk lightly. As soon as reaching the kitchen, Gloria noticed the sound of footsteps behind her.

"Go out and wait," Gloria said without looking at him.

After a while, Gloria turned her head; there was no Kenny's figure behind her. She took two steps back and saw Kenny was at his desk, not knowing what he was doing.

Gloria focused back on what she's doing, and the water in the pot was already boiling. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

After she put the noodles into the pot, she was about to reach out to get the salt. Her eyes fell on the sugar in the condiment box; a thought came into her mind.

Did Kenny really think she would just casually let her in his control?

The smile on Gloria's face grew gradually; then she happily poured half a can of the sugar into the pot.

Although Tina and Kenny looked alike, their taste was completely different.

Tina was a sweet tooth, while on the other hand, Kenny hated sweets the most.

Gloria took a spoon and stirred the pot, making sure that the half can of sugar had melted, then she took some of the soup to taste it.

She took a sip, covered her mouth, then stepped aside to spit it out.

It was so sweet that even Tina wouldn't be able to eat it.

A hesitation came to Gloria after she served the noodles, would it be too much?

She thought of how Kenny let Su Mian sat next to him at the dinner party, and that little hesitation in her heart disappeared.

She walked over to Kenny, bringing the noodles in hand, putting the bowl roughly with a 'thud' in front of him, then said with a solemn voice, "Here, eat it."

Kenny looked up to her, and without saying a word, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating the noodles.

However, as soon as the noodles entered his mouth, he stopped but still maintained his posture.

Gloria pulled the chair aside and sat down with her arms supporting her chin, she smiled softly, "Is it delicious?"

Kenny ate the noodles without any expression, as usual, "It's delicious."

Gloria was taken aback, "Really?"

"Yeah." Kenny took another big mouthful of noodles, trying to prove his words, without showing any hesitation on his face.

If Gloria hadn't tasted the noodles before, she would believe the bowl of noodles that Kenny ate was normal.

She watched Kenny ate all the sweet and greasy noodles while maintaining his expression. She became dumbfounded herself.

Kenny didn't even leave any soup behind.

Gloria looked at the empty bowl and asked, "Do you want more?"

Kenny put his chopsticks down, shook his head, and refused, "I'm full."

Gloria stood up, took the bowl, and chopsticks to the kitchen.

She tasted the remaining soup in the bowl using her finger.

It was undeniably sweet...

Gloria walked towards the kitchen entrance, turned around to take a look at the living room, and noticed that no one was in the hall.

She went out, vaguely heard the sound of water running in the bathroom.

She followed the sound and knocked at the bathroom door, "Kenny? Are you inside?"

The sound of water running was getting louder.

After a while, Kenny opened the door. There was a trace of water on his face, but his expression remained the same.

"What were you doing inside with the water kept running?"

Kenny came out and closed the bathroom door, "I was using the toilet."

She didn't believe that Kenny was using the toilet.

Who used the toilet while kept the water running all the time?

Could it be that Kenny developed a special hobby, without her knowing?

Kenny didn't wait for Gloria to speak. He walked past her straight to the living room.

Gloria watched him walking away; then she brought her hand to her lips.

Gloria came to a realization. She stepped aside to pour a glass of water, then brought it to Kenny.

Kenny raised his eyes to her, didn't reach out for the water.

Both of them stared at each other for a few seconds. Kenny slowly said, "Are you still angry?"

Gloria didn't reply to his words. Instead, she pushed the glass of water toward him again, "Drink it."

Kenny took a sip of the water.

"Do you think everything will be solved with just eating that bowl of noodle?" Gloria said with a trace of sulks in her voice.

Kenny has always hated sweets. After eating such a big bowl of noodles that tasted sickly sweet, he ran to the bathroom and kept the water running loudly, just because he didn't want her to know that he vomited.

Fortunately, he could eat without changing his expression when Gloria couldn't even eat a bite.

"Then I can have another bowl." Kenny's lips slightly raised, "And even, you can let me have as much as you want, as long as it can relieve your anger."

Gloria just stood there.

So, Kenny realized, after all.

He knew that Gloria was angry, so he ate the noodles as Gloria wished for her to relieve her anger.

People are really strange sometimes.

Previously, when she received Kenny's phone call, she wished she would never see Kenny anymore.

But now, as he lowered his guard slightly, by showing a little bit of his weakness to her, she couldn't help but forgave him.

Gloria thought for a while before asking him, "I need to ask you something."

"What is it?" Kenny made an attentive look as if he would willingly answer anything that Gloria asked.

Gloria looked into his eyes and asked, "Why are you looking for James? Is it because he doesn't know where he came from, so you kept targeting him?"

Kenny laughed, then said with a gloomy tone, "You don't need to bring up about his origin. Just by the way, you brought him up, has given me an idea to get rid of him."

"So you're saying that the reason you targeted James, is basically your prejudice towards him? Gloria asked him back.

Kenny stood up then leaned close to Gloria and spelled out the sentence, "It is not prejudiced."

"Let's stop the discussion here." Gloria had always known, when talked about James, Kenny, and she could never reach an agreement.

"We've chatted, and you have also eaten. So it's time for you to go." Gloria instructed him to leave.

Kenny stretched out his hand then pulled off his tie. He really didn't like this kind of unsophisticated life with Gloria.

He lowered his eyes slightly, murmured for a while, suddenly raised his head to look at Gloria, then called her name with a solemn voice.

"Gloria."

"Yes?"

"Marry me."

"Huh?"

Gloria blinked, then asked him, "Say it again."

"I said…" Kenny walked towards her, putting both his hands on her shoulders and said with a solemn voice, "Please marry me. Be Mrs. Clarke and let's be together boldly and freely."

He always felt that there was something left out before, which turned out to be this.

Not only once, James use this issue to refute him.

He was never a person that cared much of one wedding certificate, let alone a wedding.

However, when there's a bunch of people that kept mentioning in front of him, about how he and Gloria were not legal couples now.

That made him felt really upset.

He wanted to shut those people up by binding Gloria close to him.
