Love You Can’t Say

I stared at him for a few seconds and said, “I’m not Bernice Miller. You must be wrong.”

He was very persistent, “How can it be? I know you are. Although you don’t wear makeup, you look a little different from when you are on TV. But your beauty stands out in the crowd.”

How could I put it?

It was really good to be young.

I thought for a long time about the boy’s persistence, but without speaking, I took out my ID card from my bag and handed it to him, saying, “You see, I’m really not Bernice Miller.”

The boy stared at the photo for half a second and then looked at me in disbelief. “But you do look alike!”

I smiled and politely replied, “There are a lot of lookalikes in this world.”

He handed me the flowers and blushed. “Miss Kennedy, you look beautiful. Here are the flowers for you. I may never see Bernice in person again, so keep it!”

With that the boy went away.

A group of people looked at me and said, “Clara, you and Bernice Miller do look so much alike, especially the eyes. If I’d seen you for the first time, I’d have been wrong, too.”

I smiled, but didn’t say much.

I seemed to look like a lot of people. I used to be said to look like Olivia, then Luna, now celebrity.

“Don’t take it personally. Beautiful people are mostly alike!”

I shook my head and didn’t mind. “It means I’m actually pretty good looking to be called that.”

A harmless farce. The alcohol made me dizzy, so I paid the bill and left with Nathan.

He walked me to the yard gate and said, “Clariana is with my mom. I’m taking her to school tomorrow morning.”

I nodded and pinched my eyebrows. “Good night!”

Maybe because of Dennis, Nathan was still taking care of me, but it was slowly becoming like a brother taking care of his sister.

Adults were good at weighing the pros and cons. Dennis had a depth of poise, finesse and style that most adults couldn’t match.

Nathan respected him, but he also knew how to measure his place.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

His care for me, which started as a relationship between a man and a woman, gradually subsided into a relationship between brother and sister, which was for the best.

I was looking for my keys in my bag when I saw Leo. Because of the dim light in the alley, the headlights were particularly bright.

Black Bentley. I know the plate very well.

Through a few key words, I knew a lot.

The man put out the fire and got out of the car. He had a slender body and his casual clothes made him even more handsome.

I stood in the doorway, silent, just watching.

He stepped forward. Taller than I was by a whole chunk. “Link says you are in HL Area. I thought you were going to live in Hensley Town when you left City P. I was surprised to see you back in HL Area.”

“Go in and sit down!” I said, smiling faintly at his words.

The light was on in the yard. It was very bright. I made him tea and sat in a wicker chair softening the drink.

He looked at me, his eyes profound. “Did you see the old house?”

“Twenty years have passed. The old house was transformed, if not demolished.”

I did go to see it. When I first brought Clariana to HL Area, I always liked to take her for a walk around the old house. Although it had been redone, much of it remained.

He looked at me and said, “I just replaced what was broken and nothing else.”

I was stunned, and then I realized that he had bought it.

I nodded slightly and did not respond. I just said, “It’s getting late. Let’s catch up some other time. Good night!”

Since he had an apartment in HL Area, I didn’t have to keep him.

He was silent for a long time, then got up and headed for the door.

I followed him to the gate.

Suddenly, he turned around and hugged me. I was stunned, but I calmed down for a moment.

“Clara, I miss you very much.” He spoke, his voice hoarse as that of a child.

I stood where I was with my lips pressed together and put my hand up and patted his shoulder. “Clariana is four years old. Come see her sometime.”

Time healed, so there was no need to brood.

…

The next day.

Leo went to the hotel. Dennis was gone for a few days, and the hotel staff was buzzing with gossip about Nathan and me.

Some said he was sucking up to me for Link’s power, and some people said it was disgusting that we messed with each other when we both had families.

I’d been numbed by these words.

Leo was definitely a hammer. His presence enlivened the silence of the office.

I was sorting out the information, a little absorbed, and I did not notice his arrival.

The girls in the office liked to talk about lipsticks and cosmetics. They were quiet for a while, and I was a little confused.

When I looked back, I saw a man standing behind me, tall and handsome.

I was not stunned. But I was a little surprised when he showed up at my office.

“What…What are you doing here?”

He smiled, looked away from my computer, and said in a deep voice, “To take you to breakfast.”

He said he was here to take me to breakfast, not having breakfast with me.

Leo was a Kennedy, but he was a businessman, and though he was not as well-known as Dennis, he was also famous.

A lot of people recognized him, and they were a little excited.

I looked at the unfinished files on my computer and said, “Maybe it’ll take me a while. I’m not done yet.”

He nodded and took a seat, naturally and casually, without the slightest discomfort.

With such a handsome man sitting in the office, the girls hardly did anything, all eyes fell on him.

“Who is he? What is his relation to Clara?” someone asked curiously.

“I think he’s the head of an electronic technology company. His name is Leo Kennedy. And he’s the son of Link Kennedy.”

“So they’re brother and sister?”

“No way! How come I’ve never heard of this before?”

“Didn’t you not know Clara was Link Kennedy’s daughter? What’s so weird about that?”

…

I turned off my computer, got up, and looked at Leo, “let’s go!” The discussion was quiet but audible. I didn’t like it, so I stayed away.

As we left the hotel, Leo smiled. “What do you want to eat?”

“Anything will do.”

He had booked a French restaurant. It was not fancy, but it was great for the county.

We sat opposite each other, and he looked at me. “What do you want?”

“Your call.”

He paused and said no more. Then he ordered two steaks, looked at me, and said, “You’ve lost weight!”
