Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea)

Chapter 167

Louie's smile always warmed people's hearts. It was also because of this that I was willing to make friends with him. He was like a big brother next door, who gave me a sense of security and let me know that I was not the only one in the world.

I once doubted the embarrassing situation when I first met him, but when I got to know him slowly, I found that he was different from what I was worried about. At least he didn't force me to do anything that I didn't like. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Speaking of whether there was a so-called pure friendship between men and women, or whether there was a confidante between men and women, according to my thoughts, it was just that I didn't believe it when I didn't know Louie. But because I knew him, I gradually accepted it.

But now he and Harrison asked me to choose one out of two. In my opinion, it's so difficult to make a choice.

It was not because I had a different idea about Louie in such a short time. I just felt that this friend was precious. In addition to Sienna, he could probably be regarded as a good friend to me.

After so many things, I really realized the importance of friends. If I don't have friends in the future, I really can't imagine how I can solve it if something happens.

Louie, you don't have to be so nice to me. After thinking about it for a while, I finally said it.

I was very sure that there was a flash of change in Louie's face, but because his speed was so fast that I couldn't see it clearly, the room suddenly became awkward.

I didn't know how to continue. I just stood there in a daze and didn't know what to do.

But Louie was different from what I thought. He put down the bag in his hand and said softly, "I heard that you are sick, so I should care about you as a friend."

"This is work hours. Are you out for work?" I asked.

"It's okay. I've done all I need to do today."

Looking at Louie's calm tone, I opened my mouth and closed it again.

Originally, when I was working, I wanted him to retreat from difficulties. However, not only did Louie retreat from difficulties, but he also stopped me with a sentence.

It was probably because I would not reject the kindness of others, which was why both of them were in such an awkward situation. "I'm fine, Louie, so you can go back now. I may be able to go to work tomorrow after a good rest."

Instead of answering me, he pointed behind me with his finger and looked at me in confusion.

I subconsciously looked back and saw a pair of bloody handprints. All the memories of last night flooded into my mind. Callen's behavior and Harrison's dissatisfaction with me.

Louie, who was sitting quietly on the opposite side, was obviously waiting for my answer. My original intention of hiding it was destroyed in an instant. I sighed and said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you. Something happened last night. The handprint on it is not mine, but someone else's."

"What's the matter?" he asked.

The tone of questioning made me a little resistant, but I clearly understood that he was also concerned about me. So I suppressed the discomfort in my heart and explained, "I can't tell you the details. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the past."

"But I can see that there's a mark on your wrist."

Louie's words woke me up in an instant. I lowered my head and happened to see the position of my wrist. The more I tied it with the belt last night, the more strength I used. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been unable to hold on for a whole night. My heart became more agitated because of this mark.

He felt irritated, but he seemed to be impatient.

I looked at Louie and asked, "Why do you care about me so much?"

"Eh?" Louie looked at him in surprise. "Is there anything wrong with my concern for you?"

It was obvious that he was joking, but I was not joking. I looked at him seriously and said, "I have asked for leave and said that I will not go back to work today. You don't have to come to see me in person. I really don't understand why you come here like this."

"As long as you want to do something, it's meaningful," he said.

They were not children in their teens, so they knew very well what they were doing. However, Louie's behavior really disrupted my life.

A life that doesn't ask for anything in return is already a thing of the past for me. Even if I'm with Harrison now, most of it is because of his help to me before. But what about Louie?

"I don't mean that he didn't help me, but I feel that we are not on the same path. There are too many forks in our lives. I don't believe that people who don't want to go with you will always accompany you like this."

Therefore, I decided to cut the mess quickly. "Now that we've said this, it's better for us to finish it all today."

"I'm all ears."

Sitting on the sofa, we looked at each other through the tea table. From his eyes, I couldn't see any emotion. It was as calm as a pool of water.

I even had some doubts. Did I think too much from the beginning to the end? Did Louie mean nothing to me? Did I have feelings for him? After a while, my mind was constantly filled with this idea, which disturbed my thoughts.

"You don't have to say that. I'll answer whatever you want to know," Louie said in a very helpless tone.

I looked at him awkwardly and coughed lightly. "I don't mean anything else. I just want to know what you think in your heart. As for love, I told you very clearly in the past. I've always regarded you as a friend."

"I know," Louie smiled and said, "because of Harrison."

"It's not just that. The relationship between me and Harrison is far more complicated than you think. You are a good man. I saw this from the first time I saw you, but I am not a good woman. Do you understand what I mean?"

"It's not that I belittle myself, nor is it an excuse for me to refuse him. I'm telling the truth."

Although I didn't want to admit it, there were many things in the world that I couldn't get. The reason was very simple, because I was divorced.

Perhaps some people would think that divorce was just an excuse to refuse, but divorce was what I really wanted to express. I didn't want to hurt others, and I didn't want to be poked in the spine in the future.

That's enough between Harrison and me. There's no need for that.

Louie was not angry. He just looked at me with a smile and said, "Chelsea, your reason for refusing others is too bad."

"I'm telling the truth. You..."

"I understand what you're saying, so there's no need to continue. We're all adults who understand what we're doing, so there's no need for you to worry." Louie continued.

Looking at Louie sitting opposite me, I suddenly thought of Harrison. "If he speaks to me like this at this time, I think I should agree regardless of anything, right?"
