Love You Can’t Say

Alex was in the kitchen. Since he didn’t know how to cook, he had hired a nanny over. He was just about to go in when he heard Clarie crying.

“She must be hungry!” He grabbed the nursing bottle and hurried into Clarie’s room.

I followed behind him, but he stopped suddenly, I couldn’t control the speed and slammed into his back.

My nose hurt, “Alex, you…” I didn’t get to finish the sentence. Like Alex, I was surprised, too.

During the time I was out looking for Alex, Dennis had already held up the baby in his arms. The baby was as big as two palms, held by him.

Clarie looked extremely tiny in Dennis’s arms. She stopped crying already and looked at Dennis with her big sparkling eyes – Such a sweetheart!

Alex was surprised. He walked over, handed Dennis the bottle, pursed his lips, and coughed, “She must be hungry, here. It’s time to feed her.”

Dennis found a place to sit down and gently fed Clarie with the nursing bottle.

The man who was usually arrogant and stern now looked very different – He was feeding the baby at this time. I didn’t know what to say for a while. But I thought what I was looking at now was cute, warm, but also funny.

Alex took a look, didn’t say anything, but turned and left.

I walked to the side of Dennis, looked at Clarie taking milk and staring at Dennis with her big eyes, and said to Dennis myself, “When did you get so good with kids?”

Especially, with newborns.

He looked up at me, there were sparkles in his eyes, “I took lessons when you were pregnant.”

“When did you learn?” I had no idea he had taken lessons.

He pursed his lips but didn’t say anything. His sight stayed on Clarie, and he said in a low voice, “Take her back to T Villas. Alex and Luis have a lot on their plates too. You are not going to let them take care of the baby, are you?”

I was a bit stunned, and I had no idea how to answer this question.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing me in a daze, he sighed, “T Villas are spacious, plus you have time now, and the baby will keep you company. Don’t worry about it – I will find a few more babysitters to help you out. Nanny Daisy will be back after the new year celebration. She is experienced with children. The baby will be in good hands.”

He looked at me and said seriously, “Is this okay, babe?”

I nodded subconsciously, and just realized I did so shortly afterward. I shook my head immediately and said, “No, I want to ask Alex and Luis first. After all, they have taken care of Clarie Bear for so long. Taking the baby away without checking with them would probably hurt their feelings. Especially they have built a strong connection with the baby now.”

Dennis nodded but did not object.

At noon, Luis came back for lunch. He came home with some fresh fruits. At the dining table, I checked on him carefully. But I only found that he had become a different man than we first met.

At that time, he was a ruffian, and he looked like a condescending second-generation from a rich family. It was only after half a year, and he seemed to be taciturn, and most of the time he was quietly looking out for others.

He looked back at me. I raised my brows, “What is it?”

“Are you going back this new year?” The Collins family wasn’t huge, but they still possessed considerable properties. Luna owned a good set of fortunes after getting married. Even though the Collins family relied on Luis, Luna had never thought about passing down all properties of the Collins to him.

He set the tableware, froze slightly, looked at me, and said, “Where are you going back?”

I was at a loss for words, suddenly not knowing what to say.

A few people sat down, Luis looked at Dennis and said, “You guys should find time to bring Clarie Bear to change her names and handle the adoption paperwork.”

I was surprised and looked at him.

He pursed his lips and said indifferently, “Neither Alex nor I can formally adopt her. You two are legally-wedded husband and wife, and you can follow through the formal procedures to adopt Clarie.”

Alex was surprised at first. After hearing Luis’s words, he kept being silent.

Dennis hummed. His eyes fell on Clarie Bear, and he said, “I’ll deal with these as soon as possible.”

Luis nodded, but said calmly, “My mother would like to invite you all to dinner.”

Luna wanted to have dinner with us?

I was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but say, “Us?”

They had moved on from what happened with Olivia, but it could not be undone. After all, Olivia was Luna’s daughter. I hurt her daughter and made her notorious. Why would she want to have dinner with me after all that?

Luis nodded. “You and Dennis both.”

I looked at Dennis subconsciously. He nodded and said yes.

After dinner, Luis went to work. Dennis and I took Clarie Bear to handle the necessary paperwork.

And we were in the car.

I couldn’t hold it back anymore. I looked at Dennis and said, “Isn’t Luna Luis’s biological mother?”

I had seen how much Luna cared for Olivia. But Luna didn’t seem to care about Luis as much as she did Olivia.

Dennis started the car. He look straight at the front and said, “Well, Luis’s mother died in a car accident. And after that, Mr. Collins married Luna. At that time, Luis was in his teens and became Luna’s stepson.”

Teenage Luis wasn’t a kid anymore. It was obvious that Luis wasn’t close to his stepmom Luna.

“Why would Luna invite us to dinner?” It stands to reason that she didn’t want to see me now more than anyone else.

At the traffic light intersection, Dennis stopped the car, and he looked at me, “Is there still any resentment in your heart, babe?”

I was taken aback, “What resentment?”

“Toward Luna and Olivia?”

I pursed my lips and subconsciously looked at Clarie Bear, who was already asleep. I couldn’t help but say, “Life is too short to spend it sadly. We just have to move on no matter what.”

I shouldn’t keep dwelling on the past forever. I couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened to Diana and the baby. But all I could do was to let go and carry on with my life.

Besides, Olivia and Luna weren’t doing well right now.

We handled the paperwork very fast. Dennis had been successful in Newton Town for many years, both in terms of personnel networks and financial strengths, so there were zero problems in handling the completion of Clarie Bear’s matters.

Dennis looked at me with a smile, “So now officially, we have a new member in our family.”

He glanced at my ID and frowned, “You are still using your maiden name?”

I nodded, “When we were getting married, Grandpa told me to change my last name to yours. But if I had changed it, Grandma would be the one and only one left in our family in HL Area. So I never changed it.”

Dennis raised his brows, “But… doesn’t Leo just become a Kennedy recently same as you?”

I shook my head, “When his dad sent him over and asked Grandma to foster him, Leo was already a semi-grown-up. And later on, the Kennedy found him and took him in. I guess he’s always been a Kennedy after all.”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, “The Kennedy family is in power in City P. Have you ever thought about why Leo’s birth dad didn’t choose a family with better conditions but Grandma?”

“Maybe it was because of the situation at the time.” Who knew! – It was over 20 years ago.

He hooked his lips and got into the car with Clarie Bear in his arms. He looked at her gently, and said, “A lonely old man in a small county would get to know the young master of the Kennedy family in City P, as well as the famous businessman in Newton Town, Clara, do you think this would a coincidence?”
