"No, not now. Jenkins, Britney has already guessed a little bit about the relationship between the two of us, but I can't make everything clear just yet. Don't you see that this is all for your own good? "
The expression of the red-haired girl seemed to be explaining the simplest truth to a child.
"for me?"
"Originally, I didn't want to tell Britney everything, because I hoped that she would accept that you had two people at the same time. Now, although I don't know what kind of rhetoric you used to confuse her, it is reasonable to settle whether she can accept two people. Question. But… do you think she can accept that you have more?"
The red-haired girl questioned, a question Jenkins had no answer for.
"In the beginning, I kept it from her because I wanted Britney to accept your greed. Looking at it now, it's not that difficult. Get her drunk and we sleep together, and everything will be solved. But now I'm hiding it from her. These things are for her to accept your other greed, don't you understand? Or do you think Britney can easily accept living with more women?"
The red-haired girl looked a little annoyed, and Jenkins stammered an apology, understanding that Hathaway's plan was for his own good. He was very ashamed. Apart from Mr. Barnard's death, his relationship with many girls was something he rarely felt guilty about in this world.
"What are you doing, Jenkins?"
When Hathaway got up to go to the bathroom, Britney asked the same question aggressively. Jenkins still explained the situation truthfully, but Brienne was not as easy to accept this statement as Hathaway. She raised her beautiful eyebrows:
"Hai Wei invited you to come over at night... Wait, Jenkins, answer me honestly, have you... slept together?"
Jenkins was unwilling to lie about the question, and Britney saw the answer directly on Jenkins' face.
"you… "
She blushed and wanted to say something loudly, but she opened her mouth and said nothing in the end. Jenkins thought she was really sad.
"I have no position to condemn Hathaway because I did the same thing as her."
She lowered her head and said sadly, then suddenly looked at Jenkins:
"But I condemn you, Jenkins, oh, for God's sake, how could you?"
She had accepted it all, but it still hurt when it happened. But thinking of the promise he had made to Jenkins to get married and his lover before, and thinking of the more troublesome battle for the throne that Jenkins was about to face, he felt that he shouldn't put so much pressure on Jenkins.
Seeing that Jenkins was full of guilt and didn't dare to look at her, she stood up and bent down to gently kiss Jenkins on the forehead:
"I should accept all of this, after all, I promised you that you did a good job... But if you can, please take care of my feelings sometimes."
This made Jenkins even more sad, he kissed the blond girl back, and hoped that Hathaway's so-called "plan" could be implemented smoothly.
He left the hotel around eleven o'clock. Although Hathaway and Britney both hinted that he could quietly return after leaving, Jenkins did not do so. In front of the two of them, he said goodbye to them with a slightly intimate hug, and then he carried the cat into the night without looking back.
Hathaway and Britney stood at the window of the room together, watching Jenkins disappear into the street. None of them spoke, just quietly looking at the quiet street below:
"So, why on earth is Jenkins here tonight?"
Blaine asked softly, as if talking to herself. She was standing closer to the window than Hathaway, at this time Hathaway couldn't see her expression, but could only see Britney's beautiful blond hair and somewhat bleak back.
Britney had guessed that Jenkins and Hathaway weren't exactly friends when Beldyran first met. After that, the girls had a conversation about it that Jenkins didn't know about, but because Hathaway had anticipated that scene, she easily fooled it. Before today, the blonde girl only thought that Jenkins and the red-haired girl were having an affair, and didn't know how far their relationship had progressed.
"He came here tonight to find his beloved girl."
Hathaway answered without hesitation, knowing that Jenkins had slipped up on something. But this is also in line with her original plan. Even though Britney already knows almost everything, as long as the window paper has not been pierced, there is still room for manipulation.
The blonde girl bowed her head when she heard this answer, and after a while she turned around and hugged Hathaway:
"I'm really a little scared, Haiwei, about Jenkins, about us, and the choice my father gave me. I haven't told you, but father..."
After all, she did not mention the two paths offered by Marquis Michael:
"Jenkins' family background is not as simple as we think. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Sometimes I get angry with Jenkins, and sometimes I get angry with myself. I'm always greedy and let Things turned out the way they are now. Jenkins... now it's really about to start, the throne, the power, the blood, all the shit... I'm really scared..."
"It's okay, you don't need to worry about anything, Boonie, Jenkins and I will protect you."
Hathaway comforted softly, she knew that what Britney was really worried about was what would happen to the three people involved in the vortex of the throne.
"There is nothing to worry about, everything will be fine, I assure you."
She promised again in a low voice, and heard Goldilocks weep softly.
In the vase by the window, the flowers are about to bloom again because of the arrival of summer. Having passed through the cold winter, the coming summer will provide the same opportunity for every flower.
Hathaway looked at the flowers in the vase and thought about all the things surrounding the three of them. She once accused Jenkins of being greedy, but she and Britney, because of greed, came to this city in a hurry at this time and appeared beside Jenkins.
"No one is innocent, we are all guilty."
She thought, wanting to sneer at herself, at Britney, and of course at the greedy Jenkins. For some reason, at this moment, I suddenly thought of the chocolate that has been keeping quiet tonight. Those amber cat eyes looking at her seemed to be condemning the three of them too. She didn't think it was an illusion, because they were all wrong.
