Chapter 333
"So, do you want me to ask Anne?" He pointed at her with a finger. Since Kendall was not willing to tell the truth, it would be easier to just ask Anne.
She was still trying to keep Anne out of this. Was Kendall stupid?
Kendall was anxious. She stopped Rick and said, "I'm telling the truth. Don't ask Anne. She doesn't like me. If you ask her again, she will hate me more. She is your sister, I..."
Anne was his sister, but Kendall was nothing to him. At most, she was just someone who kept clinging shamelessly to his side. How could she compete with Anne for his affection?
Rick stared at her for a long time and finally sighed. "You can stay here today. Don't step out of the house without my permission."
"What?"
"Wait for me to wake up tomorrow before going out. Don't leave me alone, do you understand?" Rick loosened his hand and sighed again. "I know Anne's temper, and I have been spoiling her since she was a child. She can slap you without caring about me once and she can do it again. She is different from Charlotte and Shane, do you understand?" "What's the difference?" Kendall asked stupidly.
"Charlotte and Shane won't waste any more time dealing with you after realizing that you don't have offensive power. Anne will find a way to make you disappear or completely lose your ability to do anything. She's very single- minded." After he explained, Rick went to a storage cabinet and took some sheets and a pillow from it.
He had a couch in his room. It was not necessarily comfortable for him to sleep on, but it was not terrible either. Back then, he bought the couch to lie on while he read himself asleep.
Kendall knew nothing about what Anne was like. All she knew was to jog over to Rick's side and take the things from him. "I'll sleep on the couch!"
"Why would I let you sleep on the couch? Are you stupid?" Rick's one-handed index finger pressed on her forehead, and she could no longer take a step forward.
Kendall's mouth fell into an 0 shape and glared at him. "Can't you let me do something for you?"
"Are you trying to scare me?" Rick liked this expression of hers quite a lot.
There was a bit of grievance and mischievousness in her determination. It was very cute.
Kendall became distracted all of a sudden. "How would I dare?"
"I usually sleep on the couch. It's fine." Rick put the sheets and the pillow on the couch. Because he had a lot of experience sleeping there, he arranged the sheets into a very comfortable U-shape. Then he pulled up the blanket to cover the sofa.
That way, he would be completely surrounded by blankets, and he could snuggle like an animal in its den.
Kendall was struck by this sight. "I want to try it out."
"Go ahead." Rick let her do what she wanted.
Kendall lay inside his blanket. She made herself comfortable and even rubbed her head against the blankets.
When Rick saw her like this, he was inexplicably shocked. He wanted to sleep on the sofa so that he could curl up comfortably. But because he had long limbs, he couldn't snuggle the way Kendall did.
He walked over and squatted beside her, gently stroking her forehead. "Kendall, you were too impulsive before. Why didn't you discuss it with me?"
"I..." Kendall knew that he was talking about kidnapping Sheryl.
"With your personality, you should have told me. Why did you do it on impulse?"
Kendall lowered her head. "If I said I don't know the reason, would you believe it?"
Rick smiled and bent over to kiss her between her eyebrows. Then he got up and took out his phone. Kendall was stunned by his kiss and stared at his back. Suddenly, she found the courage to get out of the blankets and hold him tightly, wrapping her hands around his abdomen. She hung on him like a koala.
By that time, Rick had already dialed Charlotte's number. Before he could speak to Kendall, Charlotte's voice came from the other end, "Did you find anything out?"
When Kendall heard Charlotte's voice, she pouted. She let go of Rick and intended to return to the couch and snuggle there.
Rick turned sideways and pulled her into her arms. "Yes. It was just as you thought. She doesn't know the reason. She might not even remember dealing with Christopher and Elaine. She's protecting Elaine instinctively."
"Take her to have a look tomorrow. If everything goes well, we can talk to the court about this matter. I'm going to sue Christopher." NôvelDrama.Org content.
"Why Christopher?" Rick frowned.
"Elaine has to be hurt for everything that she has done. I won't let her go so easily." Charlotte paused for a moment. "I'm not going to let her stay in jail and have the chance to repent."
"That's fine. You are becoming more and more like Shane now."
"I wasn't like him at first, but later I found that I became more efficient if I was like him. Don't worry, this will not affect the relationship between Anne and me."
Rick hummed in response. He lowered his eyes to look at the person in his embrace. After a few tries, he finally said, "Charlotte, what do you think of Kendall?"
"When I found out that Christopher was hypnotizing you, I already stopped caring about what she does. As for why I brought her to you back then, Rick, take some time to look at her eyes. The love for you is written in her eyes. This is something that I can't compare with no matter what," Charlotte replied with a smile.
She didn't like forcing others to do things they didn't want to do. She used to trust Rick too. So it didn't matter to her whether Kendall loved Rick or not.
Instead of becoming enemies, it would be better to make friends.
Now that she had inexplicably changed into a matchmaker, it was really strange.
"Alright."
"Then I'll hang up now. I think there won't be any more changes. I'll send you the address later. Arrive before nine o'clock. I'll buy you dinner with Shane after this."
"Alright."
They ended the call.
Rick put the phone back in his pocket. He leaned over and looked straight into Kendall's eyes, staring deeply into them.
"What did you say to her?" Kendall wasn't in a good mood. Her small hands grabbed the corner of his shirt, and she put on a sad face.
"Nothing. I'm taking you somewhere tomorrow. Don't think too much. Just go there and take a
H
nap.
Kendall bit her lip. "Are you going to sell me out with Charlotte?"
"Kendall, when you find a rare and valuable pet, would you sell it or keep it with you and enjoy it all the time?"
He was not short of money either.
Kendall answered after thinking for a while, "Of course I'll keep it with me. If it's rare and valuable, it would look good for me when I take it out." "I think so too."
But what did this have to do with anything?
Kendall was thinking about the connection between the two, but Rick grabbed her chin and pulled her into his arms. His lips covered hers. They were sweet, soft, and warm. He grabbed the back of her head with one hand and put the other hand to her waist. It was strange, but it was not uncomfortable.
Kendall closed her eyes. Somehow, her eyes were full of tears.
When Rick opened his eyes, he saw that she was crying. His eyes darkened and he gently kissed away her tears. "What's wrong?"
"Rick, is Charlotte okay with you liking me?"
What kind of question was this?
Rick bit her lip gently in punishment. "It doesn't matter if she is okay with me liking you. It would be useless for her to dangle you in front of me if I don't like you. I am my own person, not Charlotte's possession."
"But you love her."
"That's not important."
Charlotte wasn't his. Even if he loved her, nothing would come of it. So why did Kendall need to bother if he did?
Rick had gotten over it. Since he had decided to let go and had gone through those sad times, there was no point in feeling angry. There was no point in being sad.
Kendall did not understand all this. She could only feel bad for Rick. She reached out to hold him and leaned into his embrace. "No matter who you love, I will still like you. I have a lot of time and energy. As long as you keep me with you, I will not leave."
"What do you need to take care of a pet? Cat litter?" Rick laughed.
"I want luxury bags," Kendall added seriously. "I want the limited editions too"
"After lunch tomorrow, I'll take you shopping."
Kendall's eyes lit up. "Rick, are you planning to keep a pet?"
