Chapter 354
However, looking at the situation just now, Aviana was not surprised at all. It seemed that she had already known that I would come with Harrison. Thinking about it, I felt even more uncomfortable.
"When did you arrive?" Aviana asked.
Before I could answer, Harrison, who was beside me, said, "I just arrived."
When he finished, I realized that Aviana was not asking me.
"But." Aviana wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. "How did Jian'an get dressed like this?"
"Although today's party didn't include any kind of clothes, and to be honest, I don't mind what everyone is wearing, there are still a lot of people here after all. We don't know what others think when they see it," Aviana said with embarrassment.
These words were particularly harsh to me. It seemed that they were saying that I was ignorant and had not seen the world, so I didn't know that I had made a fool of myself in my clothes.
I raised my head and forced a smile. "I remember it was yesterday's party, so I wasn't fully prepared."
"Really? Harrison didn't tell you?" Aviana pretended to be surprised and asked.
Harrison? She called him Harrison?
He felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife, and blood kept oozing out.
"I didn't intend to come here yesterday. I didn't know that I would come here today, so I didn't prepare for it. Besides, he doesn't need to tell me so much." I looked at her and explained with a
forced smile.
Maisy shook his head and said to me tactfully, "Men are like this. They never care about what women need. If Harrison bullies you in the future, you must tell me. We grew up together, and I know his character."
"Oh, you don't know that we grew up together, do you?" Aviana looked at me with annoyance, as if she was angry that she had spilled the beans.
She's only making me uncomfortable, but I can't get angry.
I had no choice but to go on. "Yes, I knew it yesterday."
"Then you just said that you didn't want to come yesterday. Did you not want to come to the party because you were angry about this matter?"
I suddenly didn't know how to answer such a direct question. It seemed to be a little too much to say it directly. If I didn't answer it, I would definitely vomit to death.
At this time, I also found Harrison standing beside me. Since he began to answer Aviana's question, he did not say a word. He stood beside me like a transparent person without any reaction.
His behavior may be that he didn't want to get involved in women's topics, but I felt that he didn't want to tie me up and make Aviana sad.
Under the psychological pressure, I explained against my will, "No, my best friend came to my house yesterday. I just wanted to stay at home with her for a night."
"Really?" Aviana asked in disbelief.
I nodded and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Harrison's voice. "It's because of your relationship with me that Chelsea is very unhappy. Do you understand?"
She was shocked by Harrison's sudden answer and quickly explained to Aviana that it was not like that.
Although I thought so in my heart, it still made me feel a little uncomfortable to say it out loud and face to face.
Aviana ignored my explanation and looked at Harrison with grievance. "But it's been a long time since we last met. I thought Jian'an wouldn't care."
After saying that, Aviana looked at me and took my hand. She said nervously, "Chelsea, I know you don't care about me and Harrison in the past, do you? It's been a long time."
Aviana held my hand. I didn't know if she used a little force, but I felt a little pain.
I wanted to withdraw my hand, but I didn't know what to say to her nervous expression. I could only let her hold my hand and explain weakly, "No, I'm not angry." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"We still have something to do, so I won't talk to you anymore," Harrison said in a low voice.
Hearing the displeasure in Harrison's tone, I couldn't understand why he was unhappy. "Shouldn't I be the one unhappy now? Shouldn't I be the first person to be depressed in such a situation?"
But no matter what I thought, I didn't have the courage to speak again. In the end, I simply stood where I was and didn't speak.
Aviana said coquettishly, "Oh, let me take care of Chelsea. You, as a man, can't take care of her."
After saying that, Aviana squeezed between Harrison and me, forcing Harrison to let go of her hand. I just watched Harrison getting farther and farther away from me.
I looked at Aviana awkwardly and said with a forced smile, "It's Miss Zeng's gathering today. I believe you still have a lot of things to do. You don't need to take care of me."
"Don't worry so much. All the people here are friends who have known each other for a long time. They don't need my care at all. Besides, a man like Harrison can't take care of you at all."
After Aviana finished speaking to me, she turned to Harrison and said, "Jonah, Gao Yang, and the others are also here. Aren't you going to take a look?"
I looked up subconsciously and happened to meet Harrison's eyes. There was no change in his eyes. He just said to me, "Don't run around. I'll come to you later."
Her words made me blush and then I lowered my head.
"I'm really jealous of you. When you were with me before, why didn’t I see you being so gentle to me?" Aviana said discontentedly.
Although I didn't look up, I knew that what Aviana said was to Harrison. Harrison left without saying anything, which made me feel more at ease. It wasn't until he left that Aviana took me upstairs.
We went into the rest room. Aviana asked me to sit on the sofa and wait for a while. Then we went into the inner room and didn't know what to do.
While she was away, I looked at the lounge. Although it was a lounge, the decoration was still very good. There was a small table in front of me, on which there were dessert and drinks. These pastries of different shapes made people feel comfortable.
There was a place to rest outside. There must be a bed in the inner room. If you were tired, you could rest here at any time.
Such a place had a banquet, and it would definitely cost a lot of money to eat, drink, and play. Thinking that rich people lived like this, I couldn't help but envy. Just when I was thinking about this, Aviana came out of the inner room with a dress in her hand.
The dress is pink, and I haven't touched it for a long time. After all, at the age of thirty, I still have to keep a distance from pink.
"It took me a while to find this dress. Go and try it on." After that, Aviana put the dress into her arms.
Feeling confused, I asked, "Why do you want me to try?"
Aviana asked with a funny smile, "You don't really wear clothes to attend the banquet, do you?"
