Chapter 141: Do I Need to Remember You? Kate's arms were getting sore, but Nora didn't take the fruit basket from her. "Okay, it looks like they don't want it,' she thought.
"Bang!" The beautiful fruit basket was thrown by Kate onto the trash can in the hallway, and the fruits spilled out, rolling on the ground. No one dared to pick them up.
"You take your things back yourself. If Cheyenne wants to eat something, I'll buy it for her. Who knows if you've poisoned the things you gave her?" "You!" Sean raised his fist and rushed towards Cheyenne but was stopped by Nora before he could reach her. "Okay Sean, we've made our point. It's Cheyenne's decision not to see us. Let's go." "Nora..." "Let's go!" Nora's hatred towards Cheyenne was even stronger than Sean's, but with so many people around, she didn't want to do anything stupid against Cheyenne to embarrass herself.
There will be plenty of tin future when she can catch Cheyenne at a low point; just wait for that day.
"What happened? Cheyenne." A gentle voice as soft as water sounded behind everyone present; this clear and melodious voice refreshed everyone's ears.
Turning around, they saw a man walking towards them with morning light shining on him; he wore a loose white long T-shirt paired with black linen wide-leg pants which complemented his shoulder-length silky hair that shone golden under the morning sun rays.
His beauty surpassed that of any woman The tranquility and serenity emanating from him made her look like a character stepping out of a painting. However, such an outstanding man is actually blind! His eyes are crystal-like bright yet empty inside; his eyeballs do not move but one can feel tenderness coming through them.
Amongst the crowd, there were many who have attended Benson's concerts before; their excited voices rang out "Oh my god! Isn't this Benson?" One after another affirmative replies followed: "Yes! I've seen him before! He looks even more handsin person than on TV!" "He has such an artist temperament." "Well, he is an artist." Nora also looked up at him in disbelief. "Benson?" Previously, the Gibbs family lived next door to the Lawrence Villa. Benson's father was a university history professor while his mother was a famous stage actress.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBenson's upbringing was strict.
She remembered when she was still attending elementary school there would always be a pretty little boy coming over to play at their house...
The little boy would always hold her hand and play the piano together, and he would weave all kinds of small animals out of grass for her.
Once, they even put a caterpillar in Cheyenne's pencil case, causing her to open it in class and scare the other children when the caterpillar crawled out.
One of the children was unlucky. He had a hereditary congenital heart disease, which nobody knew about. This scare caused that child to faint on the spot and be hospitalized.
Cheyenne was made to stand in detention by her teacher. Later, the child's parents found their way to the Lawrence Villa, and her father, furious, gave her a good scolding.
She remembered clearly that it was raining that night. Mr. Gibbs carried Benson by the collar and held a black umbrella as they arrived at the Lawrence Villa.
"Kneel down!" The clothes on the little boy were soaked by the rain, and it was unclear whether the drops on his delicate and fair face were tears or raindrops.
As he listened to his father's stern scolding, he knelt down and with slightly parted lips, said to Cheyenne, "I'm sorry." Mr. Gibbs didn't believe that his child, whom he had raised, would do such an absurd and boring thing. He immediately picked up a ruler and hit Benson.
"Tell me, why are you doing this?" The ruler hit his hand, leaving a rectangular purple mark, which must have been very painful.
Nora was afraid that he would betray herself, and quickly grabbed her father's hand and cried out to identify the little boy.
"Father, it's Benson. He said he hates Cheyenne because she always says his piano playing is bad, so he wants to teach her a lesson." At that time, Nora was only eight or nine years old.
But her ability to lie has reached a level of perfection, and coupled with the fact that she is usually seen as a well-behaved and obedient girl in George's eyes, makes her even more convincing.
Nora shifted all the blonto Benson in order to avoid responsibility.
From that day on, the Gibbs family moved.
Nora never saw him again. Later, she heard that he had beca world-class pianist, a height she could not aspire to reach After all these years, how had that handsand gentlemanly young boy from their past becblind? "Benson, do you still remember me?" Nora swallowed her saliva and walked up to him, asking softly. The woman's voice sounded clear and unfamiliar, Benson only knew it wasn't Cheyenne's voice and shook his head "Do I need to remember you?" "Benson, I... I am Nora. Have you forgotten? We used to live together when we were kids and you often played with me." Upon hearing this, Benson's smile did not diminish, but it did not reach his eyes.
He certainly remembered Nora. If it weren't for her, his mother wouldn't have chosen to move; he wouldn't have been beaten by his father back then either. After moving, his father and mother grew increasingly distant from each other and eventually parted ways amicably.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis happy childhood memories remained there.
It was the moment when Nora pointed at him as the "culprit" From a genius boy who was praised by everyone, he suddenly beca "bad boy" in the eyes of his classmates and teachers overnight.
The constant gossip and the deliberate isolation by his classmates left Benson with a profound sense of loneliness and isolation.
Just at that moment, Cheyenne walked out and stood in front of him to protect him.
"This isn't his doing," she declared, "I won't tolerate any of you badmouthing him behind his back. If I hear it even once, I'll give you a piece of my mind!" Whenever Benson thought of Cheyenne standing in front of him, a warm feeling washed over his heart.
The little girl was clearly two or three years younger than him, wearing a pink princess tulle dress. and two pretty braids in her hair.
Despite her innocent and adorable appearance, she stood there with her hands on her hips, a fierce expression on her face.
On the day he learned that his parents were moving, he climbed through Cheyenne's window in the middle of the night. He presented her with a handcrafted bamboo dragonfly and apologized to her. He thought Cheyenne wouldn't forgive him, but when he got in the car to leave, it was actually her who cto see him off. The little girl clearly just got out of bed, wearing a white ruffled nightgown with two loose braids and curly hair that looked intentionally styled.
With tear stains on her cheeks and wearing a pair of cute slippers, she chased after the car all the way.
