Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 530

Chapter 530 Plans

They don't like each other? Yeah, right. Yelena looked at him and burst into laughter. "She doesn't think you're worth her time, does she?"

"You're right. Not that part, but another. Cecelia has a lover abroad. She went on the date and kept the fact that she was dating a secret from her parents. We agreed to ruin this matchmaking. We're not going to anger either of our parents, but we'll make sure they know we're not a good match."

Okay, that's surprising to say the least.

"My folks are already looking into my relationships, so they'll find out about you soon enough. I kept some distance between us to protect you. To make sure the act was genuine enough, I kept it a secret. If you knew, you would have let it slip."

Oh, so he actually was protecting me. Yelena felt a little guilty, but she wouldn't admit to it. I don't want to embarrass myself. "I get it, but aren't you worried I might let something slip now that I know?"

Hank was half amused and half annoyed. "If I don't tell you this, I might lose you." Keeping this a secret from her was a mistake. If he knew Yelena could stir up so much trouble, he would've told her. Never thought she'd be this silly.

"I know I'm a bit stupid, but don't say that out loud." Yelena scratched her head.

"Now can you tell me why you cried at the funeral? Someone even took a picture." Hank was still bothered about that.

"Fine. I… I was thinking about you, so I cried. I didn't mean it. You were so cold to me. And then I saw Elspeth, so…" She looked at Hank with a puppy pout.

Hank couldn't scold her in this situation. He did keep a secret first. "Fine, I forgive you."

Yelena rolled her eyes. "What do you mean, you forgive me? It should be the other way around. If you had told me, none of this would've happened." I thought he actually fell for someone else in mere days. I thought he was a jerk.

"You wanted to break up with me first." Hank would never forget what she told him after she recovered from the surgery. He did start this mess to get back at her, but she started it first.

One look was enough to make Yelena feel guilty. "I…" Left with no arguments, Yelena hung her head low. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."

"Will you break up with me again?"

Yelena shook her head quickly. "No. Unless…"

What? "Unless what?"

"No. I won't bring it up again." Yelena picked her words wisely this time in case she angered him.
