A Stone In The Throat
Bryson’s eye had never been on her. Should she carry on?
She was exhausted, but she just couldn’t give up…
How she hoped Bryson would give up on Gloria and turn to her one day!
“So, there’s never been a second that you wanted to give up?” with her eyes on him, she couldn’t help
asking.
The driver drove his car silently in his own bubble. He’d never dared to pay unnecessary attention to
his boss’s business
Bryson’s eyes flickered. He couldn’t help but turn his eyes to Jennifer and gave a helpless smile, “Do
you have
a loved one, Jen?”
Jennifer felt something grip her heart. Her face stiffened a little and for a moment, she didn’t even know
how
to reply.
While Bryson was actually not really waiting for a reply, but only talked to himself instead, ‘My love for
Gloria didn’t start yesterday Looking out for her and protecting her has been written into my bones.
Over these years, I’ve never dared to hope that she can really be with me, but… if she wants, I’ll
definitely make her my priority in everything and never let her get hurt.”
Jennifer’s face became more and more complicated.
How much… did Bryson love Gloria on earth?
But the next second, she started to laugh at herself. That was an unnecessary question!
Bryson loved Gloria, as much as she loved Bryson
True love could be generous, to the point where the loved one’s happiriess is all that matters, while
selfish love will stop at nothing to get want it wants.
Therefore, even though she knew Bryson loved Gloria, she had never been jealous, but only envious of
her. She just wanted to stand behind Bryson and be there with him.
“What happened, Jen?” hearing her self-mocking laugh, Bryson looked back, only to find tears trickling
down her face
Bryson’s face changed slightly. “You’re crying, did I say something wrong?”
The driver tried not to listen, but still, he caught an unconscious look at Jennifer in the back seat from
the rear-view mirror.
Jennifer suddenly realized what was happening and wiped off with her hand the tears off her face, ‘No.
It’s just some old memories, I’m fine. I drank too much today.”
Bryson frowned a little. Obviously, he didn’t believe it. ‘Are things at home going on well? Is there
something still not settled? You can try talking with me. I’ll help you,” he asked apprehensively.
Jennifer’s heart was gripped by his words. How could she give him up when he was so good to her?
The pain was like a beast tearing her heart into pieces. It hurt to even breathe.
“I’m fine,” Jennifer forced herself to turn her head away from Bryson and not to communicate with him.
She was afraid that driven by alcohol, she was going to confess her love to him in any minute.
Once it was brought to light, things between them would become more than weird. Bryson would
possibly alienate her, which was the least she wanted. His friendship was enough for her, if his love
was never impossible.
At least he would be there whenever she was sad and wanted a drinking buddy. Otherwise, he would
very possibly try to avoid her.
Seeing that she was in no mood to talk about it, he was helpless at last, “I love Gloria and my attention
has always been on her, but both of you are my friends. You can talk to me whenever you are in
trouble. Whatever it is, whether I’m capable or not, I will try to find a way.”
Jennifer only felt a stone in her throat. She forced herself not to cry tears again and only nodded yes.
She didn’t dare to even speak, because she would burst into tears in any minute.
Bryson didn’t notice anything and withdrew his head. It was dead quiet in the car.
The silence was suddenly broken when they arrived at Jennifer’s house at last.
