Chapter 727 - Burnt (4)

"She's only twenty-three years old after the new year. How could she be called a 3S lady?" Ryan said with a frown.

Janice counted with her fingers for him to see, "Let's go on a blind date first. If she meet a good one, it would take at least two or three years for her to get to know him well enough. After she gets married, she will be thirty when she gives birth to a child. Shouldn't we hurry up now?"

"Dad, Mom, I want to talk to you about something." Sydnee stood up with a headache caused by her parents' quarreling.

"Go ahead!" Janice was furious.

Ryan looked at Sydnee and said, "Don't worry. You are still young. When you work in the future, you will meet a good man."

Janice was about to speak when she saw Sydnee suddenly bow to both of them. "I'm sorry, Dad, Mom. I have already been dating without telling you."

Ryan and Janice opened their mouths wide in surprise. After a long while, they muttered, "This, this is a good thing. You, why are you apologizing?"

"His surname is Britt," Sydnee said.

"Britt? Eliot Britt?" Ryan and Janice looked at her in disbelief.

"Yes, and we are going to get married." Sydnee nodded.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Eliot brought the dog home. It took him two hours to go through the adoption procedure. Then he took the dog to the vet to treat the dog with bandages and an injection. He bought a series of dog utensils, such as dog houses, dog carpets, dog food, and so on. After that, He took this yellow limping dog home.

The vet said that this dog was a Golden Retriever, but Eliot thought it didn't look like one at all. Other than its yellow fur, the dog's body was wrinkled, and its fur and blood were stuck together. It was dirty and ugly. After the dog was cleaned and shaved, there were only bruises and wounds left on its bare body.

"The bones are broken. Take care of it first and bring it back in half a month." The vet said.

"Thank you."

The dog had been beaten so hard that it was afraid of people when it saw them. Now it had been given anesthetics, it was quite obedient. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Eliot carried the dog and walked towards his home. When he stood downstairs and looked at the dark rented house, his heart was filled with infinite loneliness and sorrow.

"What are you doing here?" he asked in surprise.

Sydnee squatted at the door of his house. When she saw him coming out of the elevator with a dog in his arms, she smiled slightly. "You take it home with you."

"Yes." Eliot opened the door and put the dog and dog house into a room. After washing his hands in the bathroom, he came out and asked, "Why didn't you call me when you came here?"

"I told my family that we were going to get married," Sydnee said as she closed the door.

Eliot was slightly stunned.

"What? Are you upset?" Sydnee looked at him and asked.

"Didn't you say that we should wait for the right time?" Eliot looked at her and asked, "Why did you say it so suddenly? I suppose your parents didn't agree, right?"

Sydnee took a few steps closer and buried her face in his chest. "Yes, they didn't agree. Then we quarreled and I ran out."

Eliot held her gently for a while and said, "Sit here for a while. I will send you back later."

"I don't wanna go back," Sydnee said in a muffled voice, "I won't go back."

"They are your parents. No matter what they say, it's for your own good. Don't be self-willed. They must be very anxious seeing you run out in the middle of the night. I will send you back later so that they won't worry." Eliot said softly.

Sydnee pulled his shirt with her hands so hard that she almost pulled it off, "Eliot, I don't want to see anyone humiliate you. Not even my parents. So ... please don't send me back."

"Didn't you want me to accompany you tonight?" Her eyes were red as she looked at him. "I will accompany you. I will accompany you every day in the future."

Eliot took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

When Sydnee went to take a shower, Eliot called Ryan and told him about Sydnee's safety. Ryan couldn't say anything through the phone, he only asked him not to hurt her. Elliot was clear about what he meant.

There were no pajamas for females here. So Sydnee wore Eliot's shirt. When she came out, she saw Eliot eating instant noodles in the kitchen. Her eyes widened in shock, "You didn't have dinner?"

"Yeah, it's fine. I can just eat this," Eliot said after taking a few simple bites of the food.

"Go sit on the sofa and wait for me for ten minutes. Don't eat instant noodles. It's not good for your stomach," said Sydnee as she took away his instant noodles.

The white shirt covered her body, making her fair skin and curvy figure more attractive. After watching her for a while on the sofa, Elliot couldn't help but stand up and walk to the kitchen.

"Just wait a little longer, it will be done soon." Sydnee stir-fried the food in the pot.

Eliot held her waist and kissed her.

"It's burnt!" Sydnee patted his shoulder. Only then did Eliot let go of her and stand by the counter. He watched as Sydnee took the dishes out of the pot with her face flushed.

In the end, one of the dishes for Eliot was burnt.

"Why are you laughing? It's all because of you. Though it looks ugly, it's still edible." Sydnee picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

Eliot smiled and ate all the dishes. Just like at noon, there was not a single bite left.

"You ate so much. Can you digest it at night?" Sydnee asked as she put away the bowls and chopsticks.

"Yes, I will exercise later." Eliot poured a glass of red wine and drank it. Then, he walked a few steps behind Sydnee and lifted her chin to kiss her.

The fragrance of wine filled their lips and teeth, bringing with it a slightly intoxicating scent that made them feel as if they were about to collapse.

"He's not Maury's biological son! What he has now is nothing! If it weren't for Emily Britt's incident, he wouldn't have been able to enter the company at all! When Emily goes back, he has nothing! How can he bring you happiness? His leg is injured now, and he is disabled! Sydnee, you are still young, you still have a lot of time, and you will meet someone better. Don't be silly, my dear!"

Janice's words echoed in her mind. Sydnee closed her eyes and turned around to hug Eliot tightly.

Sydnee recalled what she had said to her mother, "I like him, and I won't meet someone I like more in the future. If you won't agree, just pretend that I'm not your daughter. I'm going to accompany him. You can have a reunion dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Do you know what he eats tonight? He doesn't even have anyone there to eat with!"

Eliot stopped, rubbed her head, and said, "Go to sleep in the guest room."

"Huh?" Sydnee was a little confused.

"Good night." Eliot kissed her again.

" ... Good night." Sydnee saw him enter the bathroom without looking back, and then she turned and walked to the guest room.

Eliot looked like a gentleman, but he only looked like one.

Sydnee reached out and touched her red and swollen lips, feeling a burning pain.
