Chapter 240: Chatper 240

Chapter 240 Cassandra instantly forgot about Emma and all her anger seemed to dissipate. She just looked at. Kenneth dumbfounded and murmured, “I... I don’t know.”

Cassandra felt giddy as if she were stepping on cotton.

Kenneth asked in a whisper, “Do you hate me?”

Cassandra shook her head.

Kenneth continued, “Do you repel my presence?”

Cassandra still shook her head.

Kenneth smiled, “Then... Do you hate it when I hold your hand?”

Cassandra was stunned for a few seconds before she shook her head.

She didn’t hate it when Kenneth held her hand, and if it had been Jeremiah doing it, she would have already shoved him off.

“So would you be upset if you saw another girl approaching me?” Kenneth asked nervously, gazing at Cassandra.

Cassandra fell silent.

She didn’t say a word or nod or shake her head. She just pondered on his words.

If a girl approached Kenneth and Kenneth smiled at her, Cassandra would probably never want to see Kenneth again. She hated just the thought of him accepting someone else’s confession.

Cassandra was stunned by her subconscious thoughts.

Yet, she followed her heart. “Then I want you and her to disappear forever.”

Kenneth was very satisfied with Cassandra’s reaction. He felt that his life had been completed.

“Cass, I’ll give you some time. You can think about it clearly, but don’t make me wait too long, okay?” Kenneth said softly, taking Cassandra in his arms and gently stroking her hair.

Cassandra curled up in his arms without struggling.

“Okay,” she answered in a whisper.

As soon as they finished their conversation, Cassidy and Sofia came back with puzzled expressions.

They seemed to be complaining about what Mr. Zelinski had said to them.

“Cassandra, let’s go. Time to get on the bus,” Sofia reminded.

“Coming,” called out Cassandra.

Chapter 210 Cassandra’s cheeks were still flushed as she walked towards them.

“Cassandra, what did Mr. Zelinski say to you? The other Mr. Zelinski said a bunch of nonsense to us. He was like a psychopath!

He’s no longer hot to mel” Cassidy muttered.

Cassidy held Cassandra’s arms and started to complain.

Instead of answering Cassidy’s question, Cassandra asked, “What did he say?”

Cassidy called out, “He told Sofia and me to study hard. And he said it’s a long road to becoming a great traditional medicine practitioner, so we have to keep working hard...”

It was all nonsense. He seemed to have said a lot, but also, he seemed to have said nothing.

Cassandra was speechless.

It sounded like Yannick really didn’t know what to say.

“Just ignore him. He’s probably just in a bad mood and wants to talk to someone,” Sofia didn’t take it to heart and said lightly.

“She’s right. Let’s sit in the back. I’m afraid there are only seats left in the back row,” Cassandra agreed.

When Cassandra returned to Springmount Townhouse she was still dizzy and all she could think about were Kenneth’s words.

Cassandra never thought about what love was.

She didn’t know, and nobody told her.

In her last life, she thought she would feel her family’s love when she returned to the Yates family, but she didn’t. She didn’t know how to love, nor did she get love.

Everyone knew Kenneth’s name. Yulissa once dreamed of becoming Kenneth’s wife, and she kept telling Cassandra that Cassandra was not good enough for Kenneth. In the end, Cassandra not longer followed Kenneth’s news..

Hugo called the servants to clean up the house because today was the day Cassandra finished her Summer camp, and he wanted to prepare a big meal for Cassandra.

“Ms. Yates, I made some food for you. Would you like to have some?” asked Hugo. It was just after 3:00 p.m., and Hugo thought that Cassandra had come back without eating lunch.

However, Cassandra was not in the mood to eat at all. She declined, “Hugo, I’m not hungry. Put the dishes in the fridge.”

Cassandra was getting a little annoyed with Kenneth because he disturbed her thoughts so easily.

“Ms. Yates, did something happen?‘ asked Hugo worriedly.

111 O Chapter 210 “Yep, answered Cassandra nonchalantly.

“Ms. Yates, would you mind telling me about it? Maybe I can help you,” Hugo said sincerely. Cassandra had been frowning as if she had encountered something tricky since she came back today.

Cassandra looked at Hugo, sat down, and asked, “What’s it like to love someone?”

Hugo smiled, “What kind of love? Is it love between lovers, or family, or friends?” Apparently, Hugo surmised that someone had confessed to Cassandra, and that was why Cassandra became distracted.

“Well, what’s the difference?” Cassandra asked confused.

Cassandra nodded and said in a tender voice, “Yes, they are different. The love between couples is about hormones. It makes you excited to see the person you love, look forward to your next meeting after you’re apart, and look forward to sharing everything. You may envision your future together, or you may just enjoy your time together and feel that parting will never come.

Love between couples is the desire to spend every minute together so much that they want to start a new family.

“As for love between family members... Ms. Yates, it’s my love for you and Jeremiah. Family members care for and listen to each other. Family will always respect your wishes and will always be on your side.

“And as for the love between friend say thank you to each other but you are always there for think about your relationship with Jeremiah. He’s not only your family but also your friend. You each other and share happy memories. You love being with him, but you wouldn’t want to form at family with him.”

Hugo’s answer was sincere and practical, and Cassandra seemed to feel that she understood what love was.

In the evening, Kenneth went back to the next house. He held flowers and rang the doorbell.

Cassandra opened the door expressionlessly, and she was not interested in the flowers. Kenneth was a little surprised. When he left in the afternoon, Cassandra was not like this!

He put the flowers aside, followed Cassandra, and asked cautiously, “Cass, are you... Are you angry?”

“No, I just want to ask you something,” Cassandra snapped as she looked at Kenneth seriously.

“Go ahead. I’ll tell you everything, Kenneth answered drily.

Cassandra began, “Why do you love me? In other words, what do you love about me? How can I be sure you’re not just looking to have a fling?”

Kenneth answered genuinely, “Cass, I’m attracted to you. When I met you, you were 10 years old. After Blossom fell sick and you saved Jeremiah, you saved me from being killed by my stepmother. I spent over a month with you and Jeremiah at Rootland Village.

“At that time, I swore that I would protect you for the rest of my life. I rushed back to this country Chapter 240 as soon as I learned that you were having a hard time back at the Yates residence, but you were different than before. You were no longer as diffident and submissive as the materials said you were. On the contrary, you became stronger. I was in deep trouble at that time, so I thought maybe I’d better confess to you after I got rid of the Zelinski family.

“Cass, you’re the only person I want to protect for the rest of my life. It’s not because you saved me when I was a kid. You were like a beam of light in my most desperate time.”
