In fact, thinking about it seriously, it seemed that there were not many things between Harrison and me. As long as he didn't want to talk to me, maybe we wouldn't have a chance to meet again in the future.
No matter how I thought about it, this was not the point. For me, the most important thing right now was the house. There were still two days before I could bring it with me today. If I didn't make any progress, the house would not belong to me.
And Maisy, I won't let her go!
"Get up and eat something."
I was suddenly awakened by the voice. I turned my head and saw Harrison standing at the door. "It's not good to stay here for a long time. I'll go back first.”
As I spoke, I lifted the blanket and prepared to get up.
The moment I lifted the quilt, I realized that I was not wearing the original clothes, but a set of home clothes. It seemed that Harrison had changed them for me.
For some reason, I had the urge to laugh. "Harrison, do you think it's fun to play with me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, I looked up at him.
Most of the time, Harrison was expressionless. When he heard my words, he frowned. In his eyes, I seemed to see disappointment and injury.
Seeing him like this, I seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his words. But when I thought of what had happened at the police station, I felt that there was no problem with me. If Harrison and Abbie had not suddenly become so intimate, how could I be like this?
"If I were still with Harrison, Callen would never ask me to give birth to a baby. Thinking about it, I should thank Harrison. Otherwise, how could I have known that there were so many secrets behind the child's pregnancy?" These things almost made me collapse one by one.
Harrison picked up a coat and put it on me. He whispered, "Although the room is warm, it should not catch a cold."
"Which one is the real you?" I asked him.
He touched my hair and murmured, "Whoever you want is me."
More than ten minutes later, we sat at the dining table to eat. I, who was not in the mood, kept sending food to my mouth like a robot. I was thinking about other things, including houses and children.
What people feared most was to know the truth. When you didn't know it, you could be paralyzed and didn't consider so many things. But once all the truth was exposed to the air, all the numbness would be in vain because you would keep thinking about it.
And I, at this moment, was in this state.
"Do you need my help?" Harrison asked me.
I stopped holding my chopsticks and ignored him. "It's my business. What's wrong with you helping me?"
"So you mean you don't need my help?" he asked again.
I slowly swallowed the food and raised my head to meet his eyes in the air. "Isn't that right? If Abbie finds out that you're helping me, will she make a scene with you?"
"Pa!" Harrison put his chopsticks on the table.
I have to admit that I deliberately provoked Harrison. I will be very happy to see him angry, at least not as depressed as before.
