Betty felt Cook's hands on her shoulders, her petite body trembled slightly, and she looked up from Cook's arms.

"Jared ......" saw Cook's eyes wander, staring at the clear blue sky, and muttering softly.

He slowly lowered his head, didn't look at Betty, gently pushed Betty away with both hands, and after a long silence, Cook directly bent his knees and knelt heavily on the ground.

"I'm sorry......" Cook murmured softly, like a mosquito and a fly, small and inaudible, but it made people feel the pain and guilt in their hearts.

"Why do you want to say sorry! Are you so cruel! Can't you tell me anything?" Hearing Cook's painful apology, Betty's tears couldn't stop sliding down more, and her eye sockets were already red and swollen.

"I'll tell you......" Cook still wouldn't look up at Betty, the pain in his eyes causing his clenched lip to bleed, "but you'd better be prepared." ”

Betty was still sobbing, looking at Cook with hazy eyes, she couldn't see anything clearly because of the tears.

"Your brother...... used power to kill Jared's father and mother, and later communicated with Hanlaus to trade slaves and buy Baihua as a sex slave, and your father did a lot of cover-ups for your brother behind his back. Cook felt as if his heart had been torn apart, and he was clutching his chest as he said these words.

After Cook said all the words, there was an inexplicable silence between the two, except for Betty's choked cry that echoed for a long time.

"What do you mean...... Is it all true?" it took a long time for Betty to finally speak and ask Cook.

Cook still lowered his head, was silent, and slowly closed his eyes, and then, whether Betty was beating or scolding, he was ready to accept it all.

"What...... Do you look down on me like that?" Betty seemed to be very dissatisfied with Cook's silence, although she still sobbed, but in her tone, there was a sudden increase in resentment.

It wasn't a resentment that Cook had arrested his family and put him in prison, but a resentment that complained that Cook didn't want to believe him.

Cook looked up in disbelief and surprise, for the first time since he knelt down, he looked at Betty.

"Don't you hate me?" asked Cook, stunned.

"Why do I hate you?" said Betty pouting, sobbing, "Hate you for obeying the law?

Cook looked at Betty fixedly, and he was surprised. He had expected Betty to weep like an ordinary girl, and to transfer all the hatred and all the resentment to him, but why didn't she?

"Dad and brother...... They've done some bad things that I already knew. Betty crouched down, clasped her hands tightly around her knees, buried her face in her knees, and choked up, "Dad even divorced Mom after becoming a councilor. ”

"But I didn't expect that they would commit such a big crime, this must be a capital crime, right?" Betty suddenly raised her head and looked at Cook, her eyes red and swollen made Cook feel slightly distressed.

He nodded slightly, though he didn't want Betty to know such a cruel truth, but if she didn't tell her, she would definitely find another way to find the answer.

Rather than being full of despair and seeking answers step by step, it is better for him to admit it here.

"Oh...... Really......" Betty lowered her head again and buried her face back in her knees after receiving the answer.

The two were silent for a long time, and Cook also knelt there all the time, quietly accompanying Betty.

"Pig's head! stupid!" Betty suddenly cursed at Cook with resentment after a long silence.

Cook smiled wryly and lowered his head, his expression dark, no matter how much Betty scolded him, he could only accept it.

"Hey, am I ugly now?" Betty asked Cook abruptly, his deep eyes reflecting Cook's figure.

Cook was very overwhelmed by the question, and looked up blankly, and when he saw Betty's weeping very red and swollen eyes, his heart was beating uncontrollably.

Almost subconsciously, Cook slammed his head like a rattle, completely unaware that his neck was red.

"Yes......" Betty muttered, her hands tugging at each other at a loss, and her calves couldn't help but lean in.

"Speaking of which, are you leaving in a moment?" Betty asked with a glance at the suitcase behind Cook and asked a little unnaturally, but her eyes were quietly fixed on Cook's face.

Cook nodded, for some reason, his mood was inexplicably a little heavy, obviously just last night, he was still full of joy, immersed in the joy and anticipation of choosing a school for Dai Lisa.

He was obviously very happy to return to the emperor, because there was the future he was looking forward to, but now, why did he feel a little pain?

Cook was puzzled by this.

"Oh......" Betty whispered, and then the two fell into an eerie silence, but this silence, Cook inexplicably felt a little embarrassed.

"Pighead, can I like you?" Suddenly, Betty's cheeks were flushed as if she had been boiled with hot water, and there was even a hint of white air on her head, and her face was full of shyness.

As if he had been electrocuted, Cook suddenly raised his head and looked at the shy Betty, only to feel that his mouth was dry and his heart was beating wildly.

What are you talking about? These words...... Can you tell me?

Betty seemed to be a little embarrassed by Cook's staring, puffed out her mouth dissatisfied, lowered her head slightly, tilted her face to the side, completely exposed her pink cheeks, and strands of silky hair fell down her ears, bringing a little girlish fragrance, under this angle, Cook could even see her looming beautiful collarbone.

Unable to help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, Cook felt as if he had lost the ability to speak, his mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't say anything, only the beating heart in his body.

It was a long time before Cook came out of the depths ......of his throat.

After Betty asked him such a question, Cook suddenly realized that he had been completely attracted to Betty, and it was in just a few minutes.

He wanted to hug Betty's limp body tightly, but reason told him he couldn't......

He was the one who destroyed her family with his own hands, so no matter who he was, he was more qualified to embrace the beautiful girl in front of him.

That's right, only you can't ...... Cook sank, struggled, in pain, and turned his head away.

Seeing Cook's move, Betty's tears that had been stopped were slowly dripping down again, and she stood up in despair, biting her lip in despair, and finally glanced at Cook, just about to run out.

However, before she could run a single step, Cook had already subconsciously grabbed her wrist.

Looking at his right hand gripping Betty's wrist tightly, Cook's eyes were full of struggle, and he asked himself, should he let it go or not?

He felt both bitter that he had ruined Betty's family with his own hands, and he also felt guilty about his demonic and filthy thoughts before, but he just didn't want to let go of this hand.

Seeing Cook holding his right hand tightly, the bitterness in Betty's heart seemed to be released and comforted at once, and in its place, a heart full of joy and happiness.

I originally thought that I would never see even the slightest hope in the future, but as long as there is this hand willing to hold on to myself in the future, it will definitely be the other side of my happiness!

"Why me?" asked Cook.

"Because you're a stupid pig-head, you didn't even have the slightest hesitation and sent my dad and my brother to prison. ”

"Then you shouldn't hate me?"

"I hate you, but who made me like you for a long time. ”

"The big fool who sent someone's family to jail, the stinky hero. ”

Betty's last two words echoed in Cook's heart for a long time, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hands and hugged Betty tightly into his arms.

I still hugged myself after all.

"Pig head, wait for me in the imperial capital in the future, and when I pass, will I be your girlfriend?" Betty let Cook hold her tightly and whispered in Cook's ear.

Cook nodded slightly, letting himself feel Betty's softness as much as possible, not wanting to let it go.

"You're not leaving, I'm going back to the imperial capital later, I'm not going to be your girlfriend, am I?" Betty reached out and pinched Cook's waist hard.

"No...... I didn't ......" Cook suddenly let go of Betty, looked at Betty very seriously, and said with a flustered look, afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly.

"That'...... Shall I come with you?" asked Betty tentatively, tilting her head. Naturally, Cook would not refuse, on the contrary, it could be said that it was exactly what he wanted.

……

On the other side, Hailanduo slowly opened his eyes, and the dark aura around his body also retracted in an instant.

Originally, I wanted to see little Cook's stubborn appearance, but how could it be so coincidental that he saw something that he shouldn't see? Hylando was a little speechless, and secretly thought to himself, should I talk to them about this matter after I go back?

In fact, with Hylando's gossip nature, as long as she has this idea in her heart, then this matter will definitely be spoken.

But this Betty, I underestimate her, can face up to her family's sins, accept it calmly, love and hate clearly, but a strange girl, although I don't hate it, but, the key is little Cook, how to survive between little Lisa and Betty in the future?

Cook and Betty naturally didn't know what Highlander was thinking at this time, and inadvertently, a petal quietly flew out of Cook's body......

Is there really such a clear distinction between good and evil? Along the way, Cook took Betty's hand and thought to himself abruptly.
