Chapter 197 Meet Jackie in Newton Town 2
He frowned and said, “Clara, you can’t be offhand with your husband like this.”
I looked back at him and said, “You can choose not to eat or order take-out.” Then I turned off the fire.
He was stunned but still stopped me. He touched his nose and said, “I can have a try. Noodles will also be delicious if the cook is skilled.”
Ha!
He was so insincere.
I was a little tired. After I finished cooking, I went back to my bedroom, washed up, and went to bed.
In the middle of the night, I heard my phone ringing. I was a little annoyed. When I opened my eyes, I found that Dennis had already answered the phone.
Seeing that I was awake, he raised his hand to touch my head, “Sorry to wake you up.”
I asked, “Who’s on the phone?” I checked the time and it was only three o’clock. Who called him at the midnight?
He looked at me and said, “Olivia is about to give birth.”
I was stunned. It was not the expected date of childbirth yet. There must be something wrong.
He was still listening. I didn’t know what the speaker had said. He frowned deeply and it seemed that it was not a good situation.
“Mrs. Knight, I’m not in City P now. I’m sorry!” Dennis said in a low voice.
Dennis saw that I was staring at him, so he turned on the speaker mode.
Luna’s pleading voice came from the other end of the line. “Dennis, Olivia needs you now. The air ticket from Newton Town to City P is still available. Please come here. As long as she can give birth to the child safely, I will promise you anything you want!”
The voice sounded anxious.
Dennis frowned and was a little unhappy. I took his phone and said to the phone, “Mrs. Knight, I’m sorry. My husband can’t go there now.”
“Clara!” Luna exclaimed and said emotionally, “It’s you! You showed Olivia those pictures of the dead babies to scare her. She almost fell down from the stairs at midnight. Clara, you are so vicious!”
I thought it was funny. “Mrs. Knight, why did you say that? Do you think I, a nobody, can do anything to scare your daughter? I have no power to let your daughter see those things that will scare you. Don’t try to put the blame on me. You’d better think carefully which cruel thing you have done that makes it so difficult for your daughter to have a baby.”
“You…” Luna was so angry that she couldn’t help but gasp, “If you want to take revenge, come to me. Aren’t you afraid of retribution when you hurt a pregnant woman?”
“Yes, I am. But now it seems that you are the one to be punished. After all, I haven’t done anything yet, and your retribution is coming.”
After that, I hung up the phone and looked at Dennis. Raising my eyebrows, I asked, “Are you going there?”
He smiled, “Do you think I will go?”
I shook my head, “No!” After a pause, I added, “If you dare to go, I will kill you.”
He sneered, “Then I should have a try, huh?”
I looked at him and stopped talking.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Did you get involved in this?”
I was stunned and realized that he was talking about the reason why Olivia gave birth ahead of time. I frowned and asked, “Why?”
“Not you?”
“I’m in Newton Town now. How can I do something to her? If I wanted to hurt her, I would watch her suffer face to face.”
The bedside lamp in the bedroom was a little dim. Dennis looked at me and took a deep breath. He held me in his arms and suddenly said, “I’m sorry!”
I pressed my lips and pushed him. “It’s hot. Stay away from me!”
Sorry for what?
I didn’t ask. I just looked at the ceiling, having a sad feeling.
I had really hated him when my child was in danger. I blamed him for not protecting me well and for the case that he didn’t stay with me when I was in danger.
I might be a little selfish. I have never thought so much for him.
“It won’t happen again!” He said in a hoarse voice.
I pursed my lips and looked at him indifferently. “Dennis, do you love me?”
This question is boring, but I asked it because I was bored.
He looked at me for a long time and said, “I will never divorce you for the rest of my life.”
What did this answer mean?
I glanced at him and said lightly, “Oh!”
The answer seemed to be meaningless.
Seeing that I didn’t say anything, he held my shoulder and asked, “Are you angry?”
I shook my head and felt a little sleepy.
I closed my eyes wearily. Maybe because I had received the good news, I slept soundly.
…
Now that the contract was settled, we didn’t need to spend three days on it.
The next morning, Dennis went out for some business and got up early. I lay on the bed and squinted at him. “You may have never worn any clothes of other colors.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
He found a tie in the cloakroom but didn’t answer my question. He looked at me and said, “Get up and help me wear the tie.”
I shook my head, “No!” I really didn’t know how to wear it. I hadn’t had any boyfriend before I met him, and I hadn’t learned it, so naturally, I didn’t know how to do this.
He frowned, “Let me teach you!”
He was so annoying.
I sat up straight and looked at him. “Come here!” It was still early. I didn’t have anything to do after getting up, so I didn’t want to leave the bed.
Looking at me, he touched his forehead helplessly, walked to the bed, lowered his body, and looked at me. “Clara, are you a pig?”
“I’m a pig. Then what are you?”
Dennis was speechless.
I helped him wear the tie. I did that in the way I usually tied my belt. I succeeded after trying just once.
Seeing this, he raised his eyebrows, “You said you didn’t know.”
I pursed my lips and said, “Believe it or not, I learned this just now.” At first, I really thought it was difficult, but I didn’t expect it to be so easy.
What a surprise.
He sneered, raised his hand, and scratched my nose. “Maybe you did learn it just now.”
I was speechless.
After Dennis went out, I planned to lie down for more hours, but my phone rang.
I looked at it and saw a strange number. I didn’t answer it. Then the person called me several times, so I had to answer it.
The man’s voice was hoarse, “I’m at your downstairs!”
“Leo?” I was stunned.
He snorted and asked impatiently, “What? You don’t want to see me?”
“No! I’m in Newton Town, not in City P, you…”
“Cut the crap!” His voice sounded angry, “I’m right downstairs at T Villas. Do you want to see me?”
I was wondering why he was so angry.
It was still early. I changed my clothes and went downstairs. The servant had prepared breakfast, so I asked him to pack it.
A black Bugatti sports car was parked at the door. It was so eye-catching that I had seen it immediately. The car window was rolled down.
It was his sullen face. He said, “Get in the car!”
There was a faint fragrance in the car as if to cover up the smell of tobacco.
Leo put the seat flat, looked at me with a cigarette between his fingers, and asked tiredly, “Why did you blacklist my phone?”
I was stunned and asked hesitantly, “Did I?” I didn’t remember this.
