Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 679 Cafe

"What do you two want to order?" The waitress with a small book came to the small round table.

"Two cups of cappuccino." The two women sitting in front of the round table said almost in unison. After a while, they looked at each other, and then parted uncomfortably.

"Do you need any snacks?" The waitress wrote something down in a small notebook as if nothing had happened.

"Raisin muffins." They said in unison again, looked at each other again, and parted uncomfortably again.

"Is there anything else?" The waitress continued to write and draw in the small book.

"That's it." Still speaking in unison, almost even the severity of the tone and the pause are the same.No matter how calm the waitress was, she couldn't help but look at them curiously. The two women in front of them still looked at each other, and separated uncomfortably.

Of course, the waitress didn't ask any questions knowingly, she turned around and left with a slight smile.There was a sudden silence at the small table, and the two women were doing small movements absent-mindedly. Even when the coffee and snacks were brought, they didn't change until they both reached for the cinnamon powder.

The two hands touched everything, and the movements were very tacit. The two looked at each other awkwardly again, and then the older woman couldn't help but chuckled, and the younger woman also followed suit. corner of the mouth.After a few low laughs like this, although the two still didn't speak, the atmosphere between them has improved a lot.

"Your feet... are you okay?" Kate asked suddenly after stirring the coffee for a while.

"It's no big deal, it's just a slight sprain, and it will be fine after a rest." Angela replied quickly.

Although the two smiled with each other's thoughts, they thought of all the previous things at the same time.

At that moment, time seemed to stop flowing, and the two people on both sides of the street just stared at each other and forgot about the things around them.Then, Kate suddenly turned around and hurried away in the opposite direction. Angela, who was sitting on the bench clutching her ankle, immediately jumped up and followed.

Due to excessive movement and unstable center of gravity, Angela grinned as soon as her feet landed on the ground, but she couldn't control that much, held back the pain and rushed across the street.For this reason, she was almost hit by an oncoming car, but fortunately, the other party stepped on the brakes in time.Even so, Angela was still taken aback, but she didn't stop, and made an apologetic gesture to the angry driver, hopping after Kate and grabbing her arm.

Kate, who didn't see Angela's actions, shook her arms and took faster and bigger steps, but how could Angela, who was holding her, let go, and followed her steps even though her ankle was still hurting.

After walking through several streets in this way, Kate stopped as if giving up and turned her head with a little annoyance, but then her expression became strange.Panting in front of her, although Angela didn't say anything, she just looked at her with expectant prayers, but she could still see that the other party was gritting her teeth and trying to hold back something.

When her eyes fell on Angela's unnaturally tiptoed right foot, a hint of understanding flashed through Kate's eyes. Although she didn't say anything, her body trembled imperceptibly.

"Are... are you okay?" She looked at him and asked, biting her lip.

"It's...not bad." Angela replied in a low voice, and her hand on Kate's arm tightened.

Kate glanced around and sighed softly: "Let's sit in the cafe over there first."

After hesitating for a few minutes, she finally took Angela's arm.

"It's been... 20 years." Kate, who was stirring the coffee, suddenly spoke again.

Angela, who was also stirring the coffee, couldn't help but paused, then nodded slightly: "Yeah, it's been 20 years, time flies so fast... But I still remember everything that happened back then, as if it just happened yesterday .”

"Me too." Staring at the coffee cup in her hand, a smile appeared on the corner of Kate's mouth, "At that time, you were still a little one, cute and beautiful, just like a small Barbie doll."

"Hey, can you not use that word?" Angela raised her head dissatisfied, "I don't even use a manly woman."

"That's because you didn't have time to use it." Kate raised her eyebrows.

"Really? I didn't know you could predict the future." Angela snorted with her nostrils up.

"What?" Kate took a sip of coffee leisurely, "Didn't you just use that word?"

"Hey, I'm giving an example, don't you know what an example is?" Angela gritted her teeth, "You're always like this, muddying up the water and blaming it on me, saying I started the dispute! "

"Really, why does it sound like the opposite?" Kate narrowed her eyes.

"Don't try to play tricks, I remember it very clearly, that time you played strong hand chess like this, you always went around saying that I lost, and then took this opportunity to pinch my face." Angela said angrily, holding her chin .

"That time," Kate thought for a while, then looked at Angela with some surprise, "You still remember it very clearly. Well, I admit that I cheated at that time, but who made your face Is the meat so easy to pinch?"

"Look, look, it's on my head again," Angela said angrily.

"Barbie dolls, every girl has her favorite Barbie doll."

"Don't forget that you were still a tomboy at that time, and tomboys also like to play with Barbie dolls?!"

The two of them just talked about the past events that had settled deep in their memory, and laughed lightly when they talked about the interesting places, as if all the things in the past three years didn't exist at all.

"Do you remember that time?" Angela suddenly thought of something, and the smile on her face diminished a lot, "The first time you came to our house, it should be said that it was when you went to grandpa's house. Although I was just five years old at that time , although you were very reserved and polite at that time, I still feel the awkwardness in your heart."

Kate sighed after a moment of silence: "Because... I think you lied to me. Before that, you never told me that you were the granddaughter of the old Duke Albert. Of course, I admit that I had a sense of inferiority at that time, but ..."

"I know, I understand," Angela interrupted, and she couldn't help pinching her hands on the small round table, "but I'm scared, I don't know why, but I'm very, very scared of losing you."

"I know too," Kate looked out of the window, her voice became ethereal, "You kept saying sorry when you sent me back, I can still recall that timid look..."

Speaking of this, the corners of her mouth turned up, as if she wanted to laugh, but it was more of a helpless sadness.

Suddenly, Angela grabbed her hand: "Kate, I'm sorry."

She looked at her, bit her lips tightly, her eyes flashed brightly: "I'm sorry, I know that no matter what I do, I can't make up for the harm I caused you, but... I'm sorry, Kate..."

Kate moved her fingers and held Angela's hand, stared at her for a while and let out a long breath: "More than half a month ago, Joe and...another woman found me and told me many things, many things. about you."

"Joe?" Angela showed a puzzled look, "What can she say?"

"Actually, Joe's role is to keep me calm, and the other person is mainly talking." Kate turned her head, and her white teeth stroked her lips lightly. "It's mainly Rachel who is talking."

"Ray...Rachel..." Angela's body tensed up immediately, not only did her face become weird, her breathing also became short of breath.

Perhaps sensing her emotional changes, Kate held her hand tightly, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "She told me a lot, including all the entanglements between you."

"I've talked a lot..." Angela pursed her lips, lowering her head and not daring to look at Kate.

"If it was before, I would definitely be very angry and drive her out..." Kate paused for a long time, and she closed her eyes as if she was very uncomfortable.

"She told me... how you miss me, because... because she can feel... feel you are chasing me on her body, just like she is on you..." Kate opened her eyes, With a wry smile, she looked at Angela sadly, "But I know she's only telling half the truth, because I can see how she feels about you."

"Kate, if you can..." Angela, who kept her head down, covered her chest.

"Since you did it, you should face it." Kate's tone became light.

"I know, but... I'm sorry..." Angela finally raised her head, her emerald green eyes filled with unspeakable sadness, "I'm sorry, Kate, I can only... only say this..."

Kate nodded and shook her head again: "Although I still feel unspeakably sad after listening to her story, I finally understand my feelings-I am sad, I have always been sad, every time I think of your deception , every time I see your scandal, or even every time I meet you, I am very, very sad, and then it may erupt like a volcano at any time. However, when I listened to Joe and Rachel talking about you in the past few years, I actually have the sadness and regret that I have never had before, and I finally understand that I am sad because I still care about you very, very much."

Angela bit her lips tightly. Although her chest was in pain, she still looked into Kate's eyes.

"But I don't know... I don't know how to deal with it, Angie," Kate said sadly, "I don't know."

As she spoke, she suddenly withdrew her hand, stood up and walked quickly to the door of the cafe, not knowing what to do.As soon as she reached the door, a body suddenly hit her back heavily, followed by a pair of arms stretched out from behind and tightly wrapped around her waist.

For a while, the originally lively cafe suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the strange pair of women at the door.

"I don't expect you to love me again, but please at least forgive me!" A voice echoed in the cafe.
