"I..." Jenna opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
The wound on her face made Jenna, who was a little autistic, feel bad about herself.
She lowered her head sadly, not daring to look at those well-dressed women.
"What are you doing? Don't give Miss Shepherd a hard time, okay?" Seeing that Jenna was surrounded, Elvis could not help but say.
"Yes, Miss Shepherd is young. You should take care of her!" Another man echoed.
When the other women heard this, their faces changed slightly.
For Elvis and the other gentry, these women were just trophy girlfriends.
However, they cared so much about Jenna, which made all the women present jealous.
The women didn't understand why these gentries were so protective of this masked girl. If Jenna hadn't come with Brayden, these gentries wouldn't have been so nice to Jenna.
Thinking of this, the other women got even more envious! It was unfair! Jenna always felt that these women were looking at her a bit strangely. She looked up, only to see the sweet smiles on their faces.
But they looked so strange.
Just then, the chicken wings are ready. Brayden brought a plate, on which were chicken wings, lamb skewers, and beef skewers.
They were sprinkled with cumin, sizzling with a great smell.
"Jenna, let's go over there to eat.” Jenna looked at the skewers on the plate, eyes lighting up, and nodded heavily. "Okay." She carefully followed behind Brayden and went behind a large tree, with her back to the crowd.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNoelle jealously stared at Jenna's back, "She must look ugly and scary. Otherwise, she would eat with us." "You know nothing about men. Brayden is getting the utmost out of the time!" Elvis said with a smirk, and the others soon got what he implied.
Noelle gave a smile and looked at Elvis flirtatiously and said, "Elvis, can you feed me?" "You think too highly of yourself. You don't deserve it." Elvis pooh-poohed. "Come over and help me! How senseless you are!" Noelle got embarrassed with a flushed face.
She had wanted to curry favor, only to become a laughing stock.
Seeing the other women's amused look, Noelle wished the earth could open up and swallow her.
She had recently had an affair with Elvis, so she didn't expect him to humiliate her in public.
Although furious, she had no way to vent her anger.
She could only bite her lower lip and strode to Elvis, and help him.
Just then, Brayden returned with a plate. "Is there anything else ready?" Elvis put some skewers and vegetables on Brayden's plate and then urged Noelle. "Be quick! Brayden and Miss Shepherd are waiting now." Noelle lowered her head in humiliation.
She thought it was unfair.
She hated it when she was treated as a servant while Jenna was served well.
"Brayden, come and have a drink with us." Another man poured a glass of beer for Brayden.
Brayden shook his head. "I have to go and keep Jenna company. Just enjoy yourselves." "There are so many beautiful women with her. You don't have to do that. Noelle, bring this to Miss Shepherd," Elvis said to Noelle in an icy tone.
Noelle picked up the plate and came to Jenna. Looking at Jenna's beautiful eyes, Noelle was overcome with anger! With a gleam of hatred in her eyes, Noelle reached out towards Jenna's mask when she bent down to put down the plate.
Jenna was originally looking at the blue sky overhead in a good mood.
Away from the crowd, she was comfortable and at ease.
When Noelle reached out to Jenna with her red-nailed fingers, Jenna's mind went blank.
She unconsciously said, "Brayden!" As Noelle jerked the mask off Jenna's face, she shouted, "You are so ugly!" Hearing Jenna's panicked voice, Brayden, who was having a drink with those gentries, turned around at once.
He quickly looked towards Jenna.
Jenna was standing there helpless and lonely.
She covered her face with both hands and subconsciously protected her face, which instantly made Brayden very sorry for her.
Damn it! Without hesitation, Brayden pushed aside Elvis, who was standing in his way, and dashed over, "Jenna!" Noelle, who finally recovered from the shock, couldn't help but back up. "I didn't mean to do this. I'm sorry." "I didn't know your face was so scary!" Everyone else was shocked by this.
"My goodness, what's going on?" "Damn it. What is Noelle doing?" The other gentry naturally couldn't ignore it, so they all followed Brayden over.
Jenna's face was pale, both hands covering her cheeks. Her mind remained blank.
She didn't even hear what Brayden said. She swayed as if she was going to fall to the ground.
She thought to herself, ‘My face was seen. This woman apologized, but she keeps saying I'm ugly." Jenna's eyes turned red. Noelle kept explaining, but Jenna could not hear anything but the word "ugly." Those gentries also froze after seeing Jenna's disfigured face.
They didn't expect Jenna, who had beautiful eyes, to be disfigured! The contrast shocked everyone present.
Jenna could not help but take two steps back, greatly hurt by the others’ gazes.
‘No! | want to go home!" Her tears trickled down her cheeks like broken diamonds under the sunlight.
Helpless, Jenna glanced about as if for an exit and escape.
Suddenly, a large warm palm clutched her small hands, and then she was pressed into a broad chest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrayden's powerful heartbeat echoed around her ears.
Brayden put Jenna's cheek against his chest, looked sharply at Noelle, and said in a cold voice, "Jenna was disfigured in an accident, but you seem to enjoy rubbing salt into her wound. Right?" Noelle paled. Before she could say something, she was smacked right across the face.
"What a bitch! How dare you take off Miss Shepherd's mask. Apologize to her right now!" Elvis glared at Noelle, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Noelle bit her lip, burning with hatred. Nonetheless, she couldn't afford to offend Elvis and Brayden. She humiliatingly stepped forward and tearfully apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Shepherd. | didn't mean to do it. | hope you can forgive me." Hearing this, Jenna still didn't dare to lift her head from Brayden's chest.
Brayden sensed her fear, so he soothingly patted her back. "Don’t be afraid. With me here, no one can do anything to you." Suddenly, a husky male voice rang out behind the crowd, "Hello, everyone. What is going on?" Hearing this familiar voice, Jenna froze.
But she didn't dare to look up.
Many days passed since Jenna had heard this voice the last time.
She was surprised to hear it here.
Jenna wanted to lift her head from Brayden's embrace to look at that familiar handsome face.
But she didn't dare.
Jenna kept hiding in Brayden's arms, like an ostrich.
She dared not to face any reality.
And then Brayden said, with his chest rising and falling, "How do you do, Mr. Carson?" It was really Aldo! Jenna bit her lower lip and didn't dare to move at all. Somehow, she found it more reassuring to be held by Brayden than by Aldo.
Jenna hadn't been very familiar with Brayden, who actually gave her a timely hug when she was in need.
She remembered the day when she almost died in the heavy rain.
Brayden saved her! Mrs. Wright was extremely nice to her.
If it was before, Jenna would have rushed immediately into Aldo's arms, but now, she hesitated.
Jenna thought, "Aldo must be as scared of my face as those people. What if he thinks me ugly?" Jenna dared not even think what would happen.
