My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 362 They Were Not Close

Carl returned to the table next to him and sat down. Only then did James asked Gloria with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Yes. Mr. Cook was inoffensive." Gloria turned her head and glanced in Carl's direction.

Who knew that Carl happened to be looking at her too, and his eyes were filled with confusion and puzzlement.

"Good, let's order." James didn't continue the topic.

Carl, on the other side, was looking at Gloria while eating.

Mrs. Cook on the side suddenly said, "Carl, do you know what you look like now?"

"No?" Carl asked absently.

Mrs. Cook glanced at Gloria, and mysteriously leaned into Carl's ear and said, "You are like a husband who caught his 'wife cheating - on himself'."

Carl turned his head and stared at Mrs. Cook for a few seconds before saying very seriously, "No, I am a friend of that 'husband'."

"Huh?" Mrs. Cook was stunned for a while before asking tentatively, "That is your friend's wife?"

"Yes." Carl responded. Thinking of Kenny, he sighed and shook his head.

After thinking about it, he took out his phone and prepared to call Edith. He was going to tell her that he had seen Gloria.

However, he had not figured out what was going on with Gloria. If he told Edith, Edith could do nothing but worry about her.

He had better figure out what was going on with Gloria first.

...

When Gloria and James finished eating, the people at the table next were still eating.

When the two people got in the car in the parking lot, James said, "I seem to have left my phone in the restaurant. I'll go get it. You wait for me in the car."

"Okay." Gloria didn't doubt him at all and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you."

James got out of the car, turned a corner, and reached the back door of the restaurant.

Carl was lighting a cigarette. When he saw James approaching, he asked, "Do you want one?"

"Thank you." James took the cigarette that Carl handed to him.

Carl puffed out a smoke ring, and asked directly with a cold face, "Who are you? How did you find Gloria? Where did you hide her in the past three years?"

James handed out a business card of himself, "James Moore."

Carl took a look at it, glanced over the words "Psychological Treatment Clinic", and put the business card directly into the pocket of his trousers.

"You haven't answered my questions yet." Carl had no interest in what James's job was. He just wanted to know about what happened to Gloria.

For Kenny, and also for Edith, he had the responsibility and obligation to know about what happened to Gloria.

"I didn't hide her. She was seriously injured in the accident that year and had dozens of large and small operations. She was in a coma in the last three years. She just woke up recently and forgot a lot of things. I hope you guys the so-called 'friends from the past' don't bother her. She hasn't recovered completely."

James's expression was serious, and his tone was also somewhat unquestionable.

After what happened that year, when Kenny returned home, he had almost recovered.

Therefore, Carl did not expect that Gloria would be injured so badly, and that she woke up after being in a coma for three years.

"Gloria grew up in Huyang City and she doesn't have many friends. When did she know you?" James was discreet in speech, so Carl inquired by asking other questions.

"This has little to do with Mr. Cook, but she was saved by me. I am responsible for her health. You can visit her, but please don't disturb her or affect her to recover. if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

James said politely, but his tone was very tough.

His meaning was clear. Gloria was saved by him, so he didn't stop Carl and the others from contacting Gloria. However, he didn't want them to talk to Gloria about her past.

This man was simply unreasonable!

But……

Carl thought of Kenny's current situation, grabbed his hair irritably, and kicked the wall.

The next moment, he was holding his foot in pain and jumping around on one foot.

...

When James returned to the car, Gloria was almost asleep with her eyes half-closed.

Hearing the sound of closing the car door, Gloria opened her eyes.

Seeing her opening her eyes, James simply asked her, "You are very sleepy?"

"I guess a little." Gloria glanced at the phone he had thrown aside, and asked, "What took you so long?"

James's expression was as usual, "I went to the bathroom by the way."

Gloria nodded as if she wished to speak but stopped on a second thought.

"Just say it if you have something to say." James saw her being hesitant, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

Hearing what James said, Gloria stopped hesitating and asked, "Do I really know that Mr. Cook?"

"Maybe, what do you think?" James asked her as he started the car.

"Don't you know him?" Gloria was a little surprised. She thought that James knew Carl.

James chuckled and said, "I don't know him, and I'm not sure if you know him. As you think, I and him were not close, either."

Gloria had always felt that she and James may not be as close as the usual "unmarried couple", but she did not expect James to have noticed the thoughts in her heart.

She said uneasily, "How do you... know..."

"Because, I use this to see you, so I can know what you are thinking." James stretched out his hand and pointed at his chest.

Although he was speaking to her, he did not look at her.

When Gloria turned her head to look over, she could only see the side of his face.

At this moment, James suddenly turned his head to look at her, "If you feel very moved, you can tell me directly."

Hearing this, Gloria couldn't help laughing, "I'm very moved."

James curved the corners of his mouth and laughed silently.

...

After Carl went back, he was upset when he thought about it.

He drove to the Clarke Group to block Kenny's way. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The workaholic Kenny, whether on weekdays or weekends, would stay in the company. If you want to see him, it was right to block his way at the Clarke Group's gate.

When it was nearly eight o'clock in the evening, Carl finally saw Kenny come out of the gate of the Clarke Group.

"Kenny!"

Carl yelled and ran towards him.

Kenny frowned when he saw Carl, and said, "Why are you here again? What do you want from me? Or do you want me to invest in you? I said I am not interested in Shengding Media."

Carl, "..."

Three years ago, after Kenny woke up, like Gloria, he forgot everyone and everything, including Gloria.

Not to mention him who had been oppressed by Kenny for a long time.

"I have told you for countless times that you are the boss behind Shengding Media!" Carl couldn't remember how many times he had explained this to Kenny in the past three years.
