Jilted Bride 243

Chapter 243

Hearing that cold address, Kenneth's jaw twitched slightly, and a dark expression crossed his face.

But there was nothing he could do about Ophelia standing before him.

Kenneth's narrow eyes fixed on Ophelia with an unusually serious expression..

"Still not admitting it? Didn't you say you wouldn't give me the silent treatment? Then why are you doing it? Isn't that saying one thing and doing another?" Kenneth said. Ophelia faltered, her lips parted and then closed again. She wanted to argue, but the words she was about to speak were swallowed before they could come out.

It seemed she really had said that before.

Avoiding Kenneth's gaze, Ophelia felt guilty and looked away.

'Have I really been giving him the silent treatment? I don't think so, Ophelia thought to herself.

After a while, Ray drove her car over.

Seeing her car, Ophelia stepped down the stairs and, after just a couple of steps, suddenly felt light, her feet leaving the ground.

Kenneth had easily lifted her up with one hand.

Ophelia instinctively wrapped her arms around Kenneth's neck,

"What are you doing? I-I'm not giving you the silent treatment! I was just giving you time to process things." She added inwardly, 'and I was giving myself time too.' "Giving me time to process?" Kenneth snorted, exhaling through his nose.

'Do I dare leave you alone? After just a little silence, you turn around and get mad at me. Do you think I still have time to process things?' Kenneth thought. Looking at Ophelia, Kenneth felt a mixture of love and frustration. In the end, it all turned into helpless tenderness.

Kenneth ruffled her hair, his tone softening, his voice low and coaxing.

"Let's call it even, alright?" Kenneth said.

No matter the reason behind her anger, it was all even now.
