Chapter 299 They are better than you
In fact, she regretted it after Cecilia Glendon uttered those words.
But what is said is like water that is thrown out and cannot be retracted.
On the way to Jane Xue’s house, neither of them said anything, and Cecilia Glendon pretended to sleep in the passenger seat, even so there seemed to be a faint touch of awkwardness in the air.
Luckily, Jane Xue’s house was not far away, and she arrived before Cecilia Glendon could clear her mind of her jumbled thoughts.
“I’ll go up and get Steven, you wait for me down there.” Cecilia Glendon said this to Abbott Benson before she got out of the car and pushed the door.
She hadn’t figured out how to explain Abbott Benson’s presence to Steven Glendon, but now she had to go up with her head.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
When she arrived at Jane Xue’s door, Cecilia Glendon took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell.
It didn’t take long for the door to be opened and Jane Xue, dressed in her house clothes, saw her and smiled, “Come in.”
“It’s been a real pain in the ass today.” Cecilia Glendon said thanks.
“What’s the trouble, I’m alone anyway, I’d like to have someone to keep me company.” Jane Xue said as she took out her slippers and gave them to her.
“No, why don’t you call Steven out for me, there are friends waiting downstairs.” Cecilia Glendon said.
“Friends?” Jane Xue blinked at her as soon as she heard this time, “Boyfriend or girlfriend?”
“Just give me a break.” Cecilia Glendon cried out.
Jane Xue stopped laughing at her, put her slippers away, and turned inside to call Steven Glendon.
“Mom.” Steven Glendon walked out carrying his little book bag.
“I’m sorry son.” Cecilia Glendon knelt down and gave him a hug, “I was so busy today I forgot the time.”
“It’s okay.” Steven Glendon patted her shoulder, rather like he was reassuring her, then turned to Jane Xue again and said, “Auntie Lin, thank you for today.”
“You’re welcome, go home now.” Jane Xue smiled and stroked Steven Glendon’s head.
“Then we’re off.” Cecilia Glendon stood up and spoke to Jane Xue.
“Be careful on the road.” Jane Xue nodded.
Only then did Cecilia Glendon take Steven Glendon and leave.
After entering the elevator, Cecilia Glendon hesitated for a long time before saying, “Have you eaten yet?”
“Ate.” Steven Glendon said, “Didn’t you eat, Mom?”
“Eaten …,” said Cecilia Glendon, biting her lower lip.
Steven Glendon sensed something was wrong with her and asked, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing … is, there is someone who will come home with us for dinner later.” Cecilia Glendon said this sentence when the heart inexplicably a little nervous.
“Is it a friend of Mom’s?” Steven Glendon asked.
This question is Cecilia Glendon difficult, she and Abbott Benson is not considered friends, exactly what kind of relationship, she can not say.
Just as the elevator arrived, Cecilia Glendon led him out and as she walked out of the apartment building, Cecilia Glendon saw the man standing in the doorway very clearly.
Abbott Benson got out of the car with a cigarette in his hand, only lit but not smoked.
Cecilia Glendon could clearly feel Steven Glendon’s small, instantly clenched hand.
She was just about to say something to Steven Glendon, but Abbott Benson over there was already looking over, and he put out the cigarette in his hand and opened the door to the trunk.
“Let’s go.” Cecilia Glendon shook Steven Glendon’s hand.
Steven Glendon followed Cecilia Glendon very silently, passing by Abbott Benson without looking up, as if he didn’t see him as a person.
Cecilia Glendon had expected this outcome and she sighed inwardly.
Steven Glendon didn’t say a word once he got into the car, probably the first time he had ever been so quiet.
Cecilia Glendon had a mind to say something to him, but then thought of Abbott Benson sitting in front of her, and finally swallowed all the words she wanted to say.
She withdrew her eyes from looking at Steven Glendon, and as soon as she looked up she collided with Abbott Benson’s gaze in the rearview mirror.
His eyes were dark and deep, making it hard to see what was going on in his mind.
There was a momentary glance between the two men, and after about two seconds Abbott Benson withdrew his eyes and concentrated on looking ahead.
The first thing Cecilia Glendon did when she got home was to look in the fridge and was relieved to see that there was still food in there.
“Sit down for a while, I’ll call you when the meal is ready.” Cecilia Glendon came out of the kitchen, her long hair already pulled back, less of a shrewdness and more of a little lady’s house gesture.
She handed Abbott Benson a glass of water: “There’s only plain water in the house, so you’ll have to make do with it.”
“That’s okay.” Abbott Benson said as he took it.
“Go sit in the living room.” Cecilia Glendon pursed her lips and smiled faintly.
Steven Glendon is sitting in the living room, he turned on the TV, as usual, watching the news, as a child, so fond of watching the world news Cecilia Glendon is also very helpless.
As Abbott Benson walked past, Steven Glendon glanced up at him, then turned his head back to his news.
Abbott Benson is not a good person to deal with children, not to mention the fact that the child in front of him is very hostile to him.
The first person to speak up was Steven Glendon, after sitting there for an unknown amount of time.
“Why did you come here?” His voice was childish, but there was a touch of coldness in his tone, completely unlike what a child like him should have.
“What did you say?” Abbott Benson froze slightly, not reacting to what he meant by that statement.
“Why did you come to my house?” Steven Glendon asked again, some obvious coldness in those cool Cecilia Glendon eyes.
Abbott Benson was momentarily amused: “Why can’t I come here?”
“You’re only going to get us in trouble by coming here.” Steven Glendon said faintly.
Abbott Benson’s eyes narrowed lightly, “What trouble have I caused you?”
For Steven Glendon, Abbott Benson knew only that paper.
But today, after close contact, he realized that Steven Glendon is completely different from what he imagined.
“A lot.” Steven Glendon said, “You should stay away from us. We haven’t had this much trouble in the last five years when you weren’t around.”
Abbott Benson laughed, “What makes you think that?”
“Why shouldn’t I think that?” Steven Glendon looked at the smile on his face and suddenly got a little angry inside, an undisguised anger all over his little face, “You’re married, why are you coming to my mother?”
“Kid, I can’t understand the reason for this with you.” Abbott Benson took a sip of water, then placed the glass on the table and looked blandly at Steven Glendon, “This is between me and your mother.”
The implication is that the matter has nothing to do with Steven Glendon.
Steven Glendon is involved, but in the end, he’s just a kid, and what can a kid do if he’s smart?
“My mother has many suitors, each one better than you.” Steven Glendon wondered why, with so many good people Cecilia Glendon didn’t want, she had to be dead set on the man in front of her?
Steven Glendon doesn’t think he deserves his mom.
“Steven Glendon!” rang out Cecilia Glendon’s voice in suppressed anger.
