The Only Consolation!

Johny pondered for a moment. "I was still very young at that time. I behaved like a grind every day. To follow my father’s plan, I didn’t dare to slack off for a moment." Ceres knew about this experience, and every time she thought about it, she would feel very sorry for Johny. "Besides studying, I have many rules to follow. I can’t eat sweets or junk food. I have my recipes every day. All of them are very nutritious, but unfortunately, they are not delicious." Ceres twisted her lips. No wonder Johny liked her cooking, as he had never eaten anything delicious. "I didn’t pay much attention to Henry and Celia. Firstly, I didn’t have time. Secondly, I always felt that they were my enemies. After all, their mother was my stepmother. However, I was very envious of them, because they could do anything they wanted." At this point, Johny’s lips slightly quivered. "Until one day, when I was in the study, Celia suddenly ran over. She quietly poked her head in and asked me if I wanted to have ice cream. I raised my hand and saw that she was holding an ice cream in her hand. I didn’t even know that it was chocolate ice cream at that time. I craved that, but I pulled myself together and refused her. Celia didn’t give up and said, ’It’s so hot. Why don’t you eat it?’ At that time, the study room didn’t turn on the air conditioner. In the name of toughening my will, they didn’t turn on the air conditioner in summer, nor the heater in winter." "That’s creepy!" Ceres was even more furious and more heartbreaking for Johny. "In the end, I didn’t eat it. That ice cream melted and fell to the ground. Celia ran away. I stared at the ice cream for a long time and finally walked over. I dipped it with my finger and put it in my mouth." Hearing this, Ceres wanted to cry. No one could imagine that Master Johny would have nothing he wanted and could only eat the ice cream on the ground. But I didn’t expect that she would come back. She saw me eating ice cream on the ground. At that time, I was appalled, as if I had done something shameful. Celia ran away without saying anything. I was on tenterhooks the past few days, always worried that she would reveal what I had done, but no one mentioned it. Then I once again saw an ice cream in the study room. It was she that placed it on the table and left. I secretly ate the ice cream. Afterward, I could have ice cream every day with different flavors. Later, she began to send me candy and potato chips. As long as she got something delicious, she would secretly send it to me. We did it tacitly for a long time. When she came to me again, I spoke to her. She never mentioned that. I told her that my father did not allow me to eat snacks. She said that the children all ate them and then sent them to me as usual. At that time, I was looking forward to the lunch break every day, because she came at that time, and if we occasionally had a long break, I could eat with her. "But we rarely met after she went to school and then studied abroad." Johny gently stroked Ceres’s hair. If it wasn’t because he had no other choice, he would never have told her about his stealing ice cream. Ceres felt heartbreaking when hearing this. Johny had never received others’ love. Maybe Celia was his only consolation in those cold days. Henry and Celia are different. Henry has regarded me as an enemy since I was a child. He just pretended to be close to me on the surface. Celia often stands on my side when I have a conflict with Henry. "Alright, since she treated you so well when you were a child, I’ll forgive her for being rude." Ceres curled her lips. What else could she do if she did not forgive her? Johny gently smiled, "If you think that I am too close to her, then I will behave myself. However, Celia indeed does not have any ill intentions. Instead of the family, she is more affected by foreign cultures. She is not a scheming girl." Although Ceres did not agree with Johny’s evaluation of Celia, she still decided to let it go. After all, they were just siblings. This came to an end for a time. Although Ceres felt that Celia was not a good person, she did not know what she would do, so she could only wait to see the move. In the middle of Celia’s confinement, there was a guest at home. Nyla. Since that time when Nyla knew of Nydia and quarreled with Ceres, Ceres had never seen Nyla. What was worse, Nyla didn’t even reply to Ceres’ WeChat messages. Nyla originally did not want to come. She was angry with Ceres but seeing that Ceres had sent her so many WeChat messages, she decided to forgive Ceres. When she came, Nyla did not wear a smile. She was always proud, so she felt a little embarrassed. "Ceres, I’m not here to see you. I’m here to see your son. Don’t flatter yourself!" "Alright. There’s no difference!" Of course, Ceres welcomed Nyla. Knowing Nyla’s stubborn pride, she did not mention the things before. When Nyla saw Kody, she was extremely happy. "He is so handsome. When he grows up, he will become many girls’ dream guy!" "He must get it from me," Ceres snorted. "Come on, he looks so much like Johny. He isn’t like you at all. Swedum looks a bit like you." Ceres rolled her eyes. She was used to these words. "Hey, I’ve said it. Swedum will be Alice’s godson, and Kody will be my godson! You should make it fair!" Nyla boldly said. "Okay, I agree. If you don’t get married, all your property will belong to Kody!" Nyla used her finger to poke Ceres’s head, "You are just like that. When did you become a money-grubber!" Both of them laughed. "Nyla, how is your work?" Ceres asked tentatively. "It’s pretty good. It’s enough to meet my expenditure. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me." Hearing Nyla’s words, Ceres felt very upset. She knew that Nyla was standing on her pride, even if she really hit a wall, she would not say it. They did not talk too much, and Nyla was ready to leave. When they reached the door, someone suddenly welcomed the guest in. The moment the two sides met, they were immediately stunned. It just so happened that Bob and Nydia came. Nydia held on to Bob’s arm. How intimate they were! They looked at each other, as no one expected to meet here!
