Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 16

He's just like the first time I saw him. He's well dressed, elegant and handsome, causing a lot of attention and discussion.

Filled with high spirits, he walks towards me step by step.

"Why have you become so haggard?" Harrison stops and stands in front of me.

The continual blows made me suffer from insomnia. How would I not be haggard?

Compared to him, I'm like a pathetic clown.

I turn my head away from him. "If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go."

"I hear you're not doing so well."

"Who told you that?" I look up and ask.

The thought of someone telling him about me makes me feel like I'm being watched. Anger and shame well up in my heart.

Harrison looks at me for a while as if he was scared. "I just want to know if you need my help."

His words make me stunned. I suddenly regret being irrational.

To be honest, his helping hand is really

tempting to me. I hadn't called him before because I wasn't desperate, but a one million debt came down from the sky and I'm now on the verge of collapse.

I really want to say yes, but I can't. I'm afraid that his help will send me to hell.

I can't afford to play the field like him.

I take a deep breath and answer in a low voice, "No, thank you."

Ignoring his reaction, I walk past him and leave without looking back.
