Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV: 

When I got home in the evening, I found that Kendal was also there.He had collapsed on the sofa from tiredness.

All the furniture and goods I had bought had been neatly assembled and the floor had been cleaned. It seemed that George had called Kendal over to do most of the work, if not all of it.

Kendal deliberately spoke in riddles in front of Anya and Phil during the day, which made everyone misunderstand our relationship.So now when I saw him so tired, not only did I not show him any sympathy, but I took pleasure in his misfortune.It felt good to get even with him.

George took the bag from me and hugged me tightly.

"Are you tired?"

"Not at all."

George bent over and French kissed me, ignoring the fact that we had company.

Kendal complained, "Can you two show some respect to a single, lonely man like me? Don’t cross the boundaries of decency!"

George ignored him and gently stroked my hair with his warm hand.

"Go and wash your hands.Dinner is almost ready."

George had prepared a delicious meal.

The three of us sat at the table and had dinner together.I had bought all the tableware online.

They were not expensive but I had selected them carefully to match the decor of our home.I dare say it was beautiful.

Strangely, Kendal, the most talkative man I knew, was unusually silent tonight.He was not even interested in the divine food that George had cooked.

Before I could ask him what was bothering him, he said sadly, "Last time we had dinner together, Cece was also there."His tone was nostalgic.

Finally, he smiled bitterly.

Then it occurred to me what George had said.

Kendal was still missing Cece, and he was wallowing in self-pity over the past few weeks.

There were some things that I did not want to mention at first, but when I saw his morose expression, I had to say it.

"Actually, Cece was moved by the way you chased after her.But when you unexpectedly blocked her social media account, she cried for several days."
