Love You Can’t Say

It was already hot in the bathroom, and he was a little breathless, but he still looked at me and said, “Is that ok?”

When I closed my eyes and did not speak, he took it as acquiescence.

After sex, I almost fell apart. His wound, which had been bandaged, was stained red.

I scowled, looked at him and said angrily, “Dennis, you’re bleeding again. I already said no. You see it’s torn again.”

Laughing, he put on his bathrobe and said, “It’s okay. I’ll just call Mario over later. Don’t worry.”

I glared at him and didn’t know what to say, then I got out of the bathroom and called Mario.

The phone rang several times and was answered. I quickly said, “Dr. Bennett, Dennis’s wound is bleeding again and it’s bleeding a lot. Can you come in here?”

Mario froze for a moment and said, “Why is it bleeding?”

I didn’t know how to answer his question, so I said, “He’s bleeding a lot anyway. Please come and see him.”

After I hung up, Dennis looked at me with his arms folded and said meaningfully, “Are you going to publicly tell him that I can’t wait to have sex with my injuries?”

I glared at him and said angrily, “If you could control yourself, would it be like this?”

“Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal,” he said with a faint smile.

Mario arrived quickly. When he saw Dennis bleeding from his wounds, he squinted, raised his eyebrows and said, “Don’t let it happen again.”

Dennis shrugged and said contemptuously, “You don’t have a wife, so you can’t understand what it’s like to be a married man.”

I???

So it was my fault?

Mario sneered, put the medicine box down, looked at me and said, “I’m hungry. Can I eat first?”

I was stunned a little. “Nanny Daisy is still cooking. Can you take care of his wound first?”

Mario sat down and raised his eyebrows. “I’m hungry and weak, and he won’t die soon.”

Well.

Fine.

As I went downstairs to help Nanny Daisy cook, I heard Dennis’s voice behind me. “You’re getting old. Are you planning on staying single forever?”

Mario said, “You don’t understand the freedom of a single man.”

“Don’t pretend to be so noble, if you really have the ability, don’t pick a woman next time, do it yourself!”

I…

Man to man topics were really not for me to listen to.

Nanny Daisy had already done the cooking, so I took the dishes, set them up and Dennis and Mario came down.

The two seemed to be in harmony, and the table was quiet for a while, in keeping with the family tradition of eating without speaking.

At the end of the meal, Mario treated Dennis’s wounds and said, “Please don’t call me next time, thanks!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Dennis shrugged and said, rather shamefully, “That depends.”

Mario didn’t bother to talk to him. He got up, packed his medicine cabinet, took his car key and left.

Dennis seemed to be in a good mood. He leaned back on the sofa and asked Nanny Daisy to take the papers from the study and peruse them.

I had nothing to do, so I just sat beside him and read.

“Dennis, about Olivia, why did the Lewis family suddenly drop me?” I’d been thinking about it since yesterday. Given Luna’s affection for Olivia, she would probably fight me even if I just pushed her, not to mention that I stabbed her. How could she suddenly change her attitude so drastically?

Dennis narrowed his eyes slightly, put the papers down and raised his hand for me to sit next to him.

I moved to sit next to him and was put in his arms. He said, his voice cracking. “What can they do without proof?”

I pressed my lips. How could they not find proof? Olivia was right. My prints were on that knife, and if the police did an investigation, they would find it.

I always felt that Dennis was hiding something from me. “Did you arrange Nanny Daisy’s sudden appearance yesterday?”

Nanny Daisy couldn’t have said what she said, only Dennis could have arranged it.

He pressed his lips together and said simply, ”You want me to send my wife to prison for a few years and leave me alone for years?”

I…

I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking, and I didn’t know what to say for a moment.

So I said nothing.

As the New Year approached, Dennis had planned to take me back to Newton Town after the company’s annual meeting, but he was injured and couldn’t get around.

The company’s annual meeting had been scheduled for Mario and Marcus. After all, I had left his company, so it didn’t matter to me now.

So I didn’t ask much about what happened to the George family. And with the Kennedy family, Leo sent me a message saying Link had set a date for me to join their family.

He told me to prepare for a couple of days to go back to Kennedy’s house and get acquainted. Link had invited a lot of people. It was going to be a big ceremony.

I knew Link was looking out for my own good, so I told him about Olivia after I said yes to Leo.

He gasped for a few seconds. “Olivia and the Lewis family didn’t do anything to you, did they?”

I shook my head. “Olivia wanted me dead for that and Dennis got hurt because of it, too. But somehow, Samuel and Luna reversed course and dropped the matter. I thought it was a little weird, too.”

He paused for a moment and then said, “Why did they suddenly drop it?”

“Maybe they don’t want to make a scene! After all, it was Olivia who came to our house to make a scene. If it gets too far, people would say that Miss Lewis was someone else’s mistress and would go to someone else’s house to make a scene, which always sounds a little shameful.”

That was all I could think of. As for the other reasons, I really couldn’t think of them off the top of my head.

He said, “You should keep your distance from the Lewis family as much as possible. By the way, I have a dress designer for you. Come with me when it’s convenient for you, and ask her to design some dresses for you. Recently, there have been a lot of annual meetings and banquets, and you are a Kennedy after all, so don’t embarrass us when you attend events in the future.”

I said, curling my lips. “A dress costs hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions, it’s not worth it. And I don’t wear them very often. What a pity!”

He laughed. “You don’t want to pay for them, so why do you care? Besides, these things will always be necessary. You should wear the jewelry Dennis bought you, and stop trying to look like a nun.”
