Chapter 49 Faye's Past
Hank's face was pale, he sat in the corner of the corridor with one leg straight and the other curled.
Fortunately, Faye's house was one elevator for one household, so no one saw Hank's rude sitting posture.
Faye stepped forward to him, "Hank?"
When Hank heard Faye calling him, he stiffened and raised his head suspiciously. He laughed at himself when he saw Faye, "I'm starting to have hallucinations."
Faye frowned and smelled the smell of alcohol.
Hank stretched out his hand to hold Faye's hand when he saw her frowning.
Faye stepped back instinctively and the drunk Hank suddenly sobered up a lot, "Faye?"
Faye was disgusted, "Hank, why are you here?"
Hank got up from the ground but almost fell because he drank too much.
Fortunately, there was a wall on his side. He staggered and propped his hand on the wall and barely stood steadily.
Faye had known Hank for more than ten years, longer than Colin.
It was the first time she had seen him like this. In the past, Hank was elegant and gentlemanly.
Hank stood against the wall and smiled, "Aren't you recording a program? Why are you back?"
Faye said, "I just dealt with something at work. It was too late, so I came back."
Hank nodded and said vaguely, "I didn't know you would come back, otherwise..."
Hank didn't say what he wanted to say, "Otherwise I won't be there."
The corridor was empty, and the two stood for a while. Faye took the initiative to say, "Faye, do you want to go in?"
Hank looked at her, "Is this a good time for me?"
Faye, "Sure, we are family."
Then Faye turned to walk to the door and pressed the password with her fair fingers.
When she opened the door, Faye changed her slippers firstly and went to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water for Hank, then put it on the tea table.
Hank staggered in from the door. He smiled when he saw the water cup on the coffee table, "I bought this set of water glasses with you when you moved."
Faye said with a warm and unfamiliar smile, "Yes."
Hank walked to the sofa, picked up the water glass, and took a sip. Then he looked at Faye with the water glass in his hand, "How is your relationship with Colin now?"
Faye, "Not bad."
Hank, "Tell me if he treats you bad."
Faye, "OK."
Then they fell into silence again.
Faye went to the balcony to play with her flowers and plants. Hank looked at her from behind with a water glass.
After a while, Hank said in a hoarse voice, "I'm... Getting engaged."
Faye stopped playing with her flowers and plants, turned back, and said to him with a smile, "Congratulations, Hank."
Hank held the water glass tightly, "Anything you want to tell me?"
Faye, "No."
Hank lowered his head and said with scarlet eyes, "The Farrells think you like me."
Faye was shocked, "Sorry for causing you trouble."
Hank, "Have you ever liked me?"
Faye, "No."
Hank laughed at himself, "If I knew you could marry someone you didn't like, I should have told my grandfather that I wanted to marry you at the beginning."
Hank drank too much and said boldly.
