Chapter 77: Keeping Distance
Chapter 77: Keeping Distance
Holden shook his head helplessly, but couldn't let her eat breakfast like this.
"Trust me for once, just eat mildly spicy, you will find that it actually tastes very tasty to eat mildly spicy."
It's not that I don't want her to eat spicy, but I'm worried that her body won't be able to handle it.
"Okay ......"
I don't know why, facing Holden's tenderness, Vivian always can't refuse.
Jacky suddenly passed by and said kindly: "Still say it's not girlfriend, you are the couple!"
Vivian and Holden looked at each other, then froze, "Huh?"
She really didn't understand why Jacky would say such a thing. Didn't they just have a very normal
conversation as friends?
Holden avoided Vivian's wound and gently pressed her forehead before he said with a smile, "You're
such a little fool!"
The smile on Holden's face couldn't be stopped, and the doting in his eyes seemed to be spreading
out, and the fondness in his eyes was completely revealed.
But unfortunately, Vivian did not look at Holden's eyes, her attention was still on that little fool!
Vivian looked at Holden with contempt, she said slightly petulantly, "What's wrong with me? I just froze
for a moment, and you call me a little fool. Then I also say you are the little fool, no, you are the big
fool."
Vivian couldn't help but make a face at Holden in front of the public.
Seeing Vivian look so cute, Holden finally couldn't help but laugh in front of the public.
"Hahahaha ......"
Hearing Holden's cheerful laughter, Jacky happened to come over again, "I've known Holden for so
long, I've never seen him laugh so happily, it's true that having a girlfriend is different."
Vivian laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Holden knew Vivian's embarrassment and helped her out by saying, "You still have guests you haven't
greeted, so go."
Jacky looked at Vivian and Holden again with a wistful look, and then he went to serve other customers
without delay.
Looking at Jacky's busy figure, this time Vivian not as a joke to laugh off, but began to face up to the
problem.
They seemed to be just like normal friends, so why would they say they were like a couple?
Maybe she was being too intimate?
She began to hesitate a bit if she should keep a little distance from Holden. She didn't reject a new
person, it was just that she wasn't over Hanley yet and she didn't want to be unfair to Holden.
She can't stop someone from having feelings for another person, but she can use some actions to
make people die.
So afterwards at dinner, Vivian began to deliberately distant Holden, and even when Jacky was busy
coming over to chat, Vivian still kept a certain distance from Holden.
When Jacky once again said they were a couple, Vivian immediately began to explain.
Originally, this kind of thing, even if misunderstood, she will not explain.
But she suddenly felt that she could not let Holden misunderstand something else, which is not good
for him.
It was not until Vivian was ready to go back that Holden called out to her, "Vivian, can we talk?"
The intentional cold shoulder Holden, in fact, Vivian is also not good.
"I know you deliberately alienated me because of what Jacky said just now, and I also know that you
still have Hanley ...... in your heart."
Holden's heart ached greatly when he said this. Sometimes it is a pain to see everything too clearly.
When she heard Hanley's name, Vivian froze for a moment.
She didn't seem to have lost her cool over Hanley in front of Holden!
"Don't ask me how I know, okay? Just answer the question I asked, okay?"
Holden's expression at this moment was heartbreaking to watch.
"Yes!"
Vivian really can't say no, even though she doesn't know what Holden will say next, she still agreed.
She did not want that any of her actions would hurt other people. Even less did she want her feelings to
hurt Holden.
"Is it impossible between you and Hanley?" Fearing that the answer was not what he wanted to know,
Holden said again carefully: "He ...... has done this to you ......"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Vivian did not intend to hide Holden, he was a good man and she did not want to hurt him because of
her.
"Holden, I don't want to lie to you, I don't know, I don't know how Hanley and I really are. I understand
what you want to know, all I can say is that I can't give you an answer right now, I don't want to give you
hope when I don't know for sure. I consider you a friend, so I don't want you to get hurt."
Hanley was a pin for her, a pin that had been driven deep into her heart. For her to say how she would
be without that needle, she actually wasn't sure.
"I'm sorry that I coveted your tenderness when I knew your heart, I know I was bad."
Said Vivian lowered her head, the corners of her eyes had long been soaked with tears.
Holden shook his head hard, "No, it's my willingness to be good to you, even if you don't like me, I still
want to be good to you all the time."
After a moment of hesitation, Vivian decided to say what needed to be said.
"I spent two years trying to get over Hanley, but when I came back, my emotions still changed because
of him. As much as I tried to fool myself, I couldn't. I would start to be happy because he was a little
better. I will be moved by the fact that he saved me from the kidnappers despite my life; I will look
forward to the fact that he will come over from time to time when I am in the hospital; I will be excited by
the fact that he treats me special at the company. Holden, I don't want to lie to you, even though I want
to forget Hanley, but I don't seem to be able to do it all at once, so ...... so I won't give you hope and
hope you can understand."
At this moment, Holden released his feelings.
"Well, I understand, I will respect you!"
Vivian did not know what to say, could only bow her head and say, "Thank you!"
The two were silent for a long time before Holden broke the silence, "Don't say sorry, don't ever say
sorry to me."
"I ......" Vivian met Holden's eyes, and she suddenly forgot what she was going to say.
"After that we are still good friends, maybe some people like to be possessive, but mine is
companionship, as long as you are well." Holden looked at Vivian with a pleading look before he
continued: "Don't say anything that will hurt me, from now on we are friends. I will guard you and
protect you as a friend, and you can go after what you want."
"Actually ......"
Before Vivian could finish her sentence, Holden touched her mouth with his fingertips.
"I know what you want to say, but you can be capricious for Hanley, and I will be just as capricious for
you. So don't say no, okay?"
Seeing this gentle look of Holden, Vivian once again did not know how to say no.
She could only nod woodenly, "Yes!"
