Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Chapter 293

After Ophelia finished getting her things and cout, she ran to Ethan waiting for the elevator.

From afar, Ethan felt a sharp, cold gaze fix on him, like a wild beast eyeing prey, ready to pounce and devour

him. That feeling sent shivers down his spine, like a prickly thorn on his back.

He turned his head and met Kenneth's gaze, feeling a thick tension that only men could sense.

Kenneth's features beneath the hat brim were sharply defined, radiating a strong, commanding presence, as if

everyone else was beneath him.

After a two-second stare down, Ethan's gaze lowered and noticed Ophelia in a wheelchair. He raised an eyebrow

and asked curiously, "What happened to you?"

The slight hint of concern made Kenneth even more displeased He purposely moved the wheelchair to break

contact.

"Well... just a slight injury it's no big deal. Thanks for asking." Ophelia turned her head slightly, with a faint smile

on her lips. A flash of surprise appeared in Ethan's eyes. When he met Ophelia's clear, bright eyes, he was

slightly taken aback. There was no denying it- Ophelia was stunningly beautiful and pure, captivating at first

sight.

Yet, her demeanor was cool and distant; even as her lips formed a smile, her eyes showed no trace of laughter,

radiating polite detachment.

The elevator arrived, and Kenneth immediately pushed Ophelia inside. Ethan peeked into the elevator and,

realizing there wasn't space for him, wisely stepped back. "You go ahead."

Ophelia gave him a polite nod to show her thanks. The elevator was indeed quite spacious; one more person

could easily fit. However, Kenneth stood blocking the entrance, clearly unwilling to make space for Ethan.

She knew Kenneth's nature well; if she spoke even one more word, Ethan might lose the chance to stay here. So

it was wiser for her to stay silent.

After they got downstairs, Kenneth lifted her from the wheelchair into the car.

Just after getting into the car, Ophelia vaguely heard someone whispering behind them. "That woman is so lucky.

But then she was shocked to see Kenneth place Ophelia in a wheelchair in the very next second.

"I'm fine, Lisa. Just a little injury. Ophelia sighed, glancing at Kenneth beside her. She thought there was no need

to be so tic with the wheelchair.

She thought, 'Great, now, on top of him pretending to be inconvenient back then, I'm "paralyzed" too. It's just

ridiculous.

"Mr. Sinclair! I'm just saying, Mrs. Sinclair moved out less than a month ago and got hurt already. Why did it take

you so long to bring her back?" Lisa couldn't help but voice her frustration.

It wasn't until after she spoke that she realized how bold she was to talk to Kenneth that way. She immediately

realized she was courting disaster.

She pressed her lips together and stood aside, lowering her head too afraid to speak further.

Lisa expected Kenneth to be upset, but surprisingly, he remained incredibly calm and said nothing as he pushed

Ophelia into the villa.

It was summer; the crabapple blossoms on either side of the yard were no longer as lush as in spring, now

scattered sparsely on the green branches.

In the living room, Kenneth bent down, picked up Ophelia from the wheelchair, and carried her up the stairs to

the room.

"I'm alright, and it's tiring to always holdlike this." She still wasn't sure about Kenneth's health and was

always worried he might get tired, which could affect his condition.

Kenneth looked down at Ophelia in his arms. He thought, 'Is she underestimating me? Holding her is still pretty

easy. If she hadn't insisted on getting out of the car by herself, he would have just carried her inside. Kenneth

said, "lI want to." He just enjoyed holding her.

Kenneth placed Ophelia onto the couch, but as soon as he stood up, she pushed him away with a look of disdain.

Ophelia's gaze

was fixed keenly on the pair of cartoon dolls at the head of the bed. "Did you bring them back?"

She had made this pair of little clay figures by hand while on the island, placing them by the bedside in their

room. She never expected to see them again at the head of the bed in Rosewood Manor.

Seeing Ophelia's eyes light up, Kenneth's gaze followed hers. She had made it to resemble him so closely that it

was unmistakable.

Charles noticed them while cleaning the room and sent him a photo. Concerned they might get damaged if

mailed, he personally went to pick them up.

Ophelia glanced at the transparent box holding the cartoon figures, her gaze froze for a moment, and then she

immediately looked at Kenneth beside her.

Her cartoon clay figure wasn't the one she had made herself. Although it looked quite similar, the one in the box

now was much more detailed and refined.

She hadn't even noticed it earlier. She asked, "Did you make another one of me?"

Kenneth didn't say anything, which was as good as admitting it. In shock, she glanced again at Kenneth's

prominent fingers.

It was hard to imagine Kenneth sitting at a booth modeling clay it was truly hard to picture.

He held her tightly. And it was so tight that Ophelia was almost out of breath, but she let him hold her.

She could also sense Kenneth's fear and panic at that moment. "It's okay, Kennie... I'm here with you!"
