EuropeNovelChapter 737: 737. Do not carry mental burdens_1
"It's just eating sskewers; you don’t need to feel any burden, after all, we are traveling together, helping
with the barbecue doesn’t mean anything special."
Harry Hall had said that, and Helen Melendy would have seemed too pretentious if she had refused again.
Besides, she really couldn't resist the enticing aroma any longer; as soon as Harry finished speaking, she
immediately reached out, grabbed a squid skewer, and brought it to her mouth.
The flavor that conquered her taste buds instantly made her eyes light up.
Harry watched her familiar expression, a slight smile curving the corners of his mouth.
Still so greedy for food.
The next second, he saw Helen's expression suddenly dim, although she kept eating, the light that had
momentarily flickered in her eyes was gone.
Harry didn’t know what she was thinking, even though he very much wanted to understand her inner feelings, he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknew that she had harshly shut him out of her heart.
His gaze didn’t linger on Helen's face for too long, leaving only a "Take your time" before he returned to the
barbecue grill.
In her hand, Helen held a squid skewer she hadn't finished, with a full plate of them sitting in front of her.
The familiar taste, stabbing her heart with memories, made Helen's eyes suddenly sour, and the once delicious
squid now tasted like wax to her.
She chewed vigorously on the food in her mouth, but her throat felt blocked by a large rock; no matter how finely
she chewed, she simply couldn't swallow.
With her eyes downcast, the taste in her mouth kept bringing back memories of the four years she spent with
Harry.
Because she liked to eat barbecue, he often worried about the cleanliness of the ingredients outside and would
frequently buy them to cook at hfor her.
Those wonderful yet heart-wrenching memories threatened to spill from Helen's eyes at any moment.
Elly Campbell noticed Helen's sudden silence and glanced at the full plate of grilled squid in front of her, silently
sighing to herself.
After a while, Helen set down the bamboo stick and the remaining plateful, and said to Elly:
"I'm a bit tired and want to go back to the villa to sleep for a while; you guys have fun."
After speaking, she got up and walked toward the villa. Elly didn’t stop her, knowing that Helen must be feeling
uncomfortable at the moment.
Harry, however, looked in her direction with concern, his brows quietly furrowing.
It wasn’t until Helen had entered the villa that Elly picked up the large plate of food in front of her and said to
Adam Jones:
"I'm going to check on Helen."
Adam, of course, didn’t want his wife to leave him again, but he agreed, albeit reluctantly.
Elly looked at his neglected-lover expression and couldn't help but snicker, tiptoeing to give him a quick peck on
the cheek.
"There, getting jealous over my best friend, don’t you find that embarrassing?"
Adam, however, huffed dismissively.
Who was it that said she was into both men and women back then?
He was already exhausted guarding against those dodgy men out there, and now he had to be wary of a woman,
too.
Elly paid no more attention to the man already drowning in his vinegar jar, carrying the plate to the villa.
“Elly”
Having taken just a few steps, Harry by the barbecue grill called out to her.
She turned around, only to see Harry approaching her with a full plate of grilled squid, saury, chicken wings, and
other items.
