Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 570 Secret Crush

“So, you came back from abroad because of this?” Yelena had heard Cecelia mention it before, but not in such detail.

Thinking of Cecelia’s unrequited love, Yelena couldn’t help but feel regretful. “It’s okay. Although he has fallen in love with someone else and is with someone else now, at least he appeared in your youth, and I believe you will meet someone better.” She held Cecelia’s hand, her face full of hope.

On the other hand, Hank and Elspeth remained silent. Then, Yelena continued to speak a lot of random things, basically telling Cecelia not to dwell on the past, to look forward, and to think about her relationship with Yozan. She finished speaking, and the other two had nothing to say.

However, as they were leaving, he asked Elspeth to escort Yelena home and said he had something to ask Cecelia.

After hearing that, Elspeth’s eyes narrowed as she looked at him full of scrutiny.

“Thank you,” he apologized with a smile.

Nevertheless, Elspeth didn’t say anything and dragged Yelena away.

When only the two of them were left in the room, Hank finally asked coldly, “The person you were talking about, right? It’s not me, is it?”

Cecelia retorted, “How could it be you? You’re too self-centered.”

“Cecelia, I’m not quite sure what you were trying to convey today, but regardless, I hope we can both move forward and be okay.” His words were clearly a threat.

After hearing that, her eyes turned red instantly. “Hank, is that how you see me? Do you think I would ruin the relationship between you two?”
