Super Sweetheart of the CEO Daddy novel Chapter 1552

Penelope was still very grateful towards the Rain. She lowered her head and silently followed behind him, but in her heart, an unspeakable bitterness surged. Actually, she had often encountered such small, unfair things like today, but compared to these, what she rewarded the most were the gossip of the people behind her.

Penelope raised her head and looked at the man's broad shoulders. Although Rain was close to middle age and did not make anyone's heart palpitate with excitement, Penelope suddenly wanted to lean on him.

"Here it is." Rain who was walking in front suddenly stopped, Penelope absent—mindedly went forward and hugged him from the back.

The atmosphere immediately froze. Both of them looked panicked and helpless.

"Sorry, I... It was not intentional. " Penelope's face was flushed red, she lowered her head, tidied up the hair by her ears and explained anxiously.

Rain looked a little embarrassed as he laughed dryly, "It's fine, let's go. I've reserved a place."

Rain led her up the stairs. After that carelessness just now, it was as if Penelope had broken her heart, causing her to secretly rejoice, but at the same time, she was also a little perturbed, she had never thought that she would have such a quick side to herself. She had always felt that her heart had died, so no one should even think so much.

The boss of the hotpot restaurant was a friend of Rain. Seeing him bringing a beauty upstairs, he could not help but go up and tease him.

When Penelope saw an outsider, she immediately acted gracefully. After all, she was not a little girl, her communication skills were quite good.

After getting a private room, the two of them sat down. The Rain asked Penelope to order, and Penelope directly passed it to him.

Rain gave her a cup of tea and started drinking it himself.

"Do you know why I'm treating you to dinner?" Penelope suddenly said.

Rain was startled, and said: "Didn't you say you want to thank me for sending you off?"

"Of course not," Penelope bit her lower lip, and said hesitantly: "Rain, are you willing to be my boyfriend?"

"Cough!" Rain choked on her sudden question and started coughing uncontrollably.

Penelope saw that his words were too bold and direct, scaring the other party. She immediately said apologetically: "I'm sorry, wasn't I too abrupt?"

Rain coughed, his face flushed red. Then, he lowered his head and said: "I am not worthy of you."

"What do you mean 'unworthy'? You're a man, and I'm a woman. That's more than enough. Where is the 'unworthy' one?" Penelope was amused by his words, and immediately replied.

"My identity is not worthy of you." Seeing that she had misunderstood, Rain could only be more specific.

"My ex—husband was a businessman. He was rich, but he only loved me for a few months before moving on. At that time I was in great pain, the person I chose, how did he become like this? Later on, I realized that it wasn't that I was wrong, it was just that there was something wrong with the other party's character, and he wasn't willing to only be nice to me. " Mentioning the old story, Penelope's face was filled with sorrow.

Rain was a little startled, and didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

It was unfortunate for a woman to encounter such a failed marriage.

Penelope raised her head and looked at him, his eyes glistening with tears: "From that time, I kept my distance from men, I lost my ability to love, I became like a monster. Everyone said that I was sick in my heart, but I knew that I was not sick, I was just afraid of getting hurt."

"How do you know I'm a good person? If men are like this, then I also have an inferior personality. You have been hurt before, you shouldn't trust a person so easily, right? " Rain could not help but chuckle as he advised her.

Penelope nodded: "You are right, you cannot trust someone, but you don't know how terrifying it is to be alone. Every day at work, there is no one who speaks, and I raise a cat.

"What about your family? You should have parents. " Rain saw that the tears in the corner of her eyes were continuously flowing but did not fall. His heart could not tell what he was feeling and was actually feeling a little uncomfortable.

"My parents were healthy, but I didn't dare go home. They kept urging me to get married again, and even found me a lot of matchmakers. I knew they had good intentions for me, but I never wanted to get married." Penelope self—deprecatingly mocked himself.

"I can understand what you're saying, because I'm the same type of person as you." Rain could not help but laugh.

Penelope suddenly raised his head and looked at him. "Really?"

"Mmm, I have a dog. I train him to help me carry my things every day, and I treat him like a child as well." Rain also started to mock himself.

Tears suddenly rolled down from the corner of Penelope's eyes. She quickly extended his hand to wipe them away, so there really were many similar people in this world.

"If you feel lonely, I can be your friend." Rain said sincerely.
