Chapter 1578: 1578. You won’t refuse Elly Campbell
He didn’t tell Helen Melendy that all of this he slowly learned after being with her.
Even though she seemed very independent, her life was actually a mess.
If he didn’t watch her, she could go several meals without eating.
She loses things constantly, never able to find them.
He knew what dishes she liked and specifically learned to cook them. If she liked the taste, she could eat several bowls of rice.
He remembered a period of time when he regularly cooked for her every day, and he managed to make her gain over ten pounds.
At 170 cm tall, she weighed only 90 pounds. She was so skinny that every time he held her wrist, he didn’t dare exert strength for fear of breaking her hand.
Later, she angrily ran to him, saying he had made her gain weight. Looking at her, now with a bit of flesh, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Recalling the days spent with her, Harry Hall’s brows and eyes softened involuntarily.
Even his lips unconsciously curled into a gentle curve.
Helen Melendy was unaware of the emotional whirlwind in his heart at that moment. Hearing him say he didn’t want his own business to be handled by others, she thought he was naturally independent.
Nodding her head, she thought that she and Harry Hall had already clarified their relationship. After some hesitation, she still opened her mouth:
“Senior.”
By this point, Harry Hall had become immune to this title. Now hearing Helen Melendy call him so seriously, he only slightly frowned.
“Hmm, go ahead.”
Harry Hall’s gaze fell upon her, his eyes slightly deepened.
Seeing her hesitant demeanor, he could probably guess what she wanted to say.
“Today I just got discharged from the hospital, so many things I’m still not used to, and I haven’t prepared for anything. Therefore… I really appreciate you making this meal, I want…”
She pursed her lips, seemingly a bit shy to speak.
Harry Hall knew exactly what she wanted to say.
He looked at her with a hint of complaint, and said softly: “So after the meal you plan on burning the bridge, you want to chase me away?”
Helen Melendy looked at him, feeling somewhat embarrassed and silent, clearly acquiescing to his words.
Harry Hall stared at her unsatisfied for a moment, but eventually stood up helplessly, crouched in front of her, and said:
“Helen, you may have forgotten what happened between us, but I haven’t. I can’t detach myself from seeing you as my fiancée to objectively handle our current relationship.”
With a serious face, Helen Melendy opened her mouth, wanting to say something, yet unable to speak out.
Harry Hall continued: “But now you don’t want to marry me, or have a romance with me, you only see me as a normal friend, that’s fine. However, even as a friend, can’t I care for you, take care of you?”
“No, I just feel like…”
Helen Melendy instinctively wanted to refute, but Harry Hall didn’t give her the opportunity and continued:
“If Elly Campbell was in front of you now, if she was worried and wanted to stay to take care of you, help you in life, and manage everything for you, would you refuse her the same way you refuse me?”
Helen Melendy couldn’t answer.
She figured she probably wouldn’t refuse Elly.
But even if she didn’t answer Harry Hall, he could guess her answer.
He looked at Helen Melendy with dim eyes, and said:
“You wouldn’t refuse Elly Campbell, right?”
“Since they’re both your friends, why would you accept Elly Campbell’s help but not mine? Is it just because of my identity as your fiancé that you want to keep me at a distance?”
