Chapter 1039 Embarrassment
"Ms. Pearl, I heard you are very popular in the entertainment industry now?" Hellen said.
Many affluent families used to steer clear of the entertainment industry, believing it to be extremely chaotic.
Virginia immediately waved her hand and pretended to be modest, "I'm just lucky and have gained a bit of popularity!"
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "Besides, Bernard often helps me make connections, which is why I've had a smooth journey in the industry, and no one dares to bully me. Mrs. Mitchell, don't worry, I usually just act or take vacations, and I don't have much contact with people in the industry."
"Alright." Hellen smiled loftily, "Ms. Pearl, I was just asking casually, you don't need to explain so much. In fact, I have no prejudice against actors working in the entertainment industry. For example, our Christina is a very excellent actress, and I'm looking forward to watching her movie when it comes out!
By the way, did you see the interaction between Bernard and Christina just now? They are very much in love, not something those women with wild ideas can interfere with."
Virginia knew exactly who Hellen was referring to with 'those women with wild ideas,' but she pretended not to understand, "Mrs. Mitchell, I don't quite understand what you're saying."
Hellen said, "Ms. Pearl, you're very smart, so I'm sure you understand what I'm saying. There are many things in life that we can't force. The reason I called you here is to encourage you not to get stuck on this issue."
Hellen's words couldn't be more straightforward, but Virginia still pretended not to understand.
She widened her eyes innocently, clearly an actress, but her acting seemed very clumsy in Hellen's eyes at this moment.
"Mrs. Mitchell, you might have misunderstood. Bernard and I are very good friends, and I have a good relationship with Christina too. We are really very good friends!"
In the end, she nodded sincerely to show her honesty.
If she wasn't facing Hellen, perhaps others might have believed her words.
Hellen saw through everything and just smiled faintly, "Ms. Pearl, I wanted to save you some face, but it seems you don't appreciate it! Anyone with eyes can see what you think of Bernard!
I'm warning you now, if you insist on pursuing something that's not yours, the price will be more than just a hurt tongue.
If you insist on doing unpleasant things, don't blame me for stepping in as Bernard's grandmother to deal with some irrelevant people for Christina."
The Mitchell family's garden faced a large floor-to-ceiling window in the hall, and from their angle, they could see Bernard and Christina.
After dinner, Christina usually took a walk in the garden to digest, but today Hellen and Virginia had already gone to the garden, so she felt embarrassed to go.
At this moment, Bernard was sitting on the sofa in the living room with her, talking.
Bernard's face was cold, but his actions were completely inconsistent with his expression.
He was playing with Christina's hand, his tone very low, "Why are your hands so small?"
Christina tried to pull her hand back but failed, and snorted, "My hands aren't small for a girl, okay? It's just that your hands are so big."
Although Christina was grumbling, she remembered they were still acting, so she didn't pull her hand back from his.
Bernard's hands were large, dry, and warm, with long, distinct fingers, perfect for playing the piano, perhaps?
One of his big hands could easily encompass both of hers.
Christina lowered her head, seriously staring at Bernard's big hand, but she forgot that her red ears were in Bernard's view.
Bernard found it amusing and touched her ear with his other hand, startling Christina and making her feel uncomfortable.
Now, she was even redder in front of Bernard.
"What are you doing?"
Bernard rubbed his fingertips, the soft touch of Christina's ear lingering, and he didn't know why, but he felt unsatisfied.
"I accidentally touched it when I raised my hand."
Christina looked at his serious face suspiciously, "Really?"
Bernard's eyes darkened as she stared at him, "Do you think I did it on purpose?"
Christina fell silent.
Alright, she didn't think that much!
Bernard didn't give Virginia a single glance the whole time.
Virginia kept looking at him, even appearing distracted in front of Hellen.
"Ms. Pearl, if you want to look, just look openly. Some people, no matter how much you look, will never belong to you."
Virginia realized and smiled awkwardly, playing the victim again, "Mrs. Mitchell, you've already judged me guilty in your heart, no matter how much I explain, it's useless. Let's leave it to time! I believe time will prove my innocence! Christina is also working in the industry now and needs to attend some social events. As a senior, I will take good care of her."
Hellen disdainfully said, "The Mitchell family doesn't need others to take care of us. I've said what I needed to say today, so I hope you mind your own business. The relationship between Christina and Bernard is not something you can break.
You've looked at Bernard so many times, but has he ever given you a second glance Go back, Ms. Pearl, this walk has been long enough, and I'm tired."
Hellen came and went as she pleased, really treating her like a servant to be summoned and dismissed?
Virginia clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could burn all the flowers in the garden for Hellen.
When they returned to the hall, Bernard and Christina were sitting close together, discussing something on a tablet.
"Grandma, would you like some tea I just made?"
As soon as she saw Christina, Hellen automatically smiled.
"Christina, is it still the rose tea you like today?"
Christina nodded obediently, "Bernard likes this flavor too, so he can drink more water."
Virginia approached, "Christina, let me try it too. The rose tea that Bernard likes must be special. I remember he used to hate flower tea."
However, no one paid attention to her.
Bernard's attention was all on Christina.
Christina sat next to him, and he was constantly close to her, sometimes touching her hair, sometimes squeezing her hand.
To act lovingly in front of Hellen, Christina couldn't refuse his touches.
Seeing this made Virginia feel like she was about to explode, but she couldn't do anything in front of Hellen.
She had just confidently said she was friends with both of them, but now she couldn't even join their conversation, which was quite embarrassing.
