"Kenny, can I stay at your house? I don't like staying in hotels." Isla would not let go of any chance to get along with Kenneth.
She should have returned to the country earlier. In the past, she had been by his side, and there had never been another girl beside him.
"No, I've never brought a woman or any friends home. My family has always been very strict with our security." Without even thinking about it, Kenneth rejected the offer.
His mother had been hurt countless times, and his father would not allow pictures of his mother to appear on the Internet.
Every child in their family would try their best to protect themselves to avoid worrying the family.
No matter how good a person was, there would always be a chance of betrayal.
Kenneth had hidden his identity overseas for many years in order not to attract others' attention.
Isla was despondent and she asked in a low voice, "Even friends can't go back with you?"
"No!" Kenneth replied straightforwardly.
"Alright, I'll listen to your arrangements, Kenny." Isla's face was pale and her entire body was covered in a layer of sadness.
However, Kenneth didn't notice it at all.
Raelynn could tell that Kenneth was really cold-hearted, but it still depended on who he was facing.
"Okay!" Kenneth nodded.
Luke was standing not far away. He walked over and said to Isla, "Please!" Then, he led the way.
"Miss Edwards." Luke looked at Raelynn and smiled.
"Good morning, Mr. Parma!" Raelynn greeted him gracefully.
It was only then that Kenneth noticed Raelynn.
Luke was very perceptive and brought Isla into the elevator.
After entering the elevator, Isla looked at Kenneth. She saw that his handsome face was different from the coldness just now. Instead, it held a faint gentleness and tenderness.
That was an expression that she had never seen on Kenneth's face before.
A woman's sixth sense was so sensitive that she instantly felt that Kenny treated this woman differently.
However, the elevator door had closed.
She smiled and asked Luke, "Mr. Parma, is that woman an employee of the company?"
Luke nodded. "Yes, Miss Alden."
"What's her name?" Isla asked again. As long as she knew that woman's name, she could find out who she was.
Luke had an apologetic expression on his face. "I'm sorry, Miss Alden. It's not convenient for us to reveal anything regarding our company's management."
Isla frowned. She didn't expect Luke to be on guard against her.
She looked at him with amusement. "Mr. Parma, we have known each other for several years. Don't you know my character? Are you afraid that I will do something to the person Kenny likes?"
Her main purpose was to test Luke.
Luke was also a man with a sharp tongue. He knew how to observe a person's words and expressions, and he also understood Kenneth's temper very well. He smiled calmly and said, "Miss Alden, your words are very serious. You are also an industry insider and a professional. It's not that we are wary of you, but you also know the market here."
Isla smiled and remained silent.
"Wait and see, Luke. When I marry Kenny and be a part of the Alwynn family, I'll fire you. You're so short-sighted. You can't stay with Kenny," she thought to herself.
Raelynn opened her mouth and ate the sandwich he fed her, her soft lips gently pressed against his fingertips. Instantly, an electric current spread throughout his whole body, and his heart rippled. He liked this kind of feeling very much.
Speaking of going to his house, Raelynn remembered the scene just now and asked with a smile, "Will you take me back to your house? Was that your friend earlier?"
Kenneth shook his head slightly. "She's not a friend, but another apprentice of my master. She's my junior, but I'm not familiar with her. I've known her for many years, but I never spoke to her much. She's basically a stranger to me."
Raelynn thought, "You've known her for years but you still say that she's a stranger to you. How sad would that junior be if she heard that!"
Kenneth looked at her deeply. "Did you see what happened just now?"
"Yes! I thought she was the girl you liked. The moment I saw her holding your arm, I felt very sad and wanted to hit you." Raelynn looked at him with a smile. Fortunately, it was not what she thought.
Kenneth put down his cutlery and asked seriously, "Can I take it that you were jealous just now?"
Raelynn blushed and whispered, "You could say that."
"Haha..." Kenneth laughed, seemingly less indifferent, and his smile was gentle and refreshing.
She was jealous because she liked him.
"I asked about my mother's schedule. Next month, there will be a branch of Symantec Group opening. She will come back to attend the opening ceremony. I will take you home to meet them then."
"Okay!" After Raelynn had figured things out the night before, she no longer resisted this matter.
Her agreement put Kenneth in a good mood, and his smile was gentle and doting.
At that moment, their two hearts were clear and warm.
"By the way, what do your parents like? I can't just go empty-handed, can I?" Raelynn still inquired about Kenneth's parents' preferences in advance so that she could buy them gifts.
