Chapter 283: A Wrong Path Would Lead You Astray 20
Pushing the stroller out of the villa, Dennis went to the garage to get our car. I held the stroller and waited for him in the yard.
But I saw a woman squatting at the door of the courtyard. I was confused for a few seconds at first, and then I realized that it was Olivia – She had not left.
I couldn’t help frowning. Dennis drove the car toward us and he also noticed Olivia in front of the door.
But Dennis didn’t say anything. He held Clarie Bear up and settled her in the car. He then looked at me and said, “Come on, let’s go!”
Hearing our movement, Olivia stood up from the doorstep, ran toward us, and blocked the front of the car.
Olivia looked at Dennis and said, “Dennis, are you going to see my mother? Take me with you please!”
Dennis frowned, a little displeased, “Marcus will come to pick you up shortly.”
Olivia started tearing up, “It’s so cold out here. Dennis, take me with you, please!”
“Come on up then!” I spoke, a bit annoyed. “Ms. Olivia, you don’t have to make yourself look so embarrassed to gain sympathy.”
Olivia’s face turned pale, and her pitiful eyes looked at Dennis.
Dennis’s face was full of annoyances, and he said coldly, “There’s not enough space in the car. You should wait for Marcus!”
Then our car bypassed her directly, sped up, and left!
I looked at Olivia in the rear-view mirror. She was still standing there in the cold wind. I looked at Dennis and frowned, “Don’t you feel bad for her?”
He pursed his lips and looked at me, “Would you like to see me feel bad for me?”
“Concentrate on watching the road and driving!” I didn’t care if he would feel bad for her.
On the road, Clarie was well-behaved. Perhaps she did enjoy the ride, so she seemed very excited in the car, reached out her little hands to grab everything every now and then.
The car was parked outside L Community. At the entrance of the villa, Luna and Samuel were standing there, seeming to have waited for a long time.
When we walked into their sight, Luna walked up to us. She looked at me and said smilingly, “Glad you guys made it. Dinner is ready – Come on up!”
Dennis took Clarie Bear out of the car. Samuel and Luna looked at each other, and then they looked at me in surprise, “The baby… Is the baby okay?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
I pursed my lips, my face was a little cold, “Ms. Luna, are you going to get your hands on her?”
Luna’s eyes suddenly teared up. She shook her head and said, “No, of course not. I am just glad the baby is well.”
Dennis hugged Clarie Bear tight, but he didn’t say much, “Let’s go inside!”
The dining room was on the first floor. Alex and Luis were already there. Mario, who we hadn’t met for a while, had shown up to. And there was a lady who we hadn’t seen for a long time came too – It was Nova Pearson.
What an unpleasant surprise to see her here!
Alex had told us that Nova was a great part of the reason why Diana got into an accident. I looked at this increasingly temperamental woman in front of us, my face showed a sense of coldness.
“Clara, come sit over here!” Alex immediately waved to greet me when he saw me.
I walked over there and sat next to Alex. Dennis pushed the stroller and stopped next to us.
The villa in the L Community was probably the most luxurious one in Newton Town. Only the dining room itself took up to a thousand square feet, which was much larger than average dining areas.
The round table was very big. If you didn’t speak loudly enough, you probably wouldn’t be able to hear anything on the other side.
Luna seemed to be treating me with extra patience and gentleness. She ordered the servants to start serving food. She then seated herself and Samuel down next to Dennis and me.
Clarie Bear was in the stroller getting excited about the new surroundings. Luna looked at her with a gentle and smiling face, “She’s adorable. She’s about four months old, right?”
Samuel glanced at me. And I was having an icy cold poker face. He said with a melancholy expression on his face, “Clara, the baby looks a little smaller than ordinary infants her age. Is she taking in enough nutrition?”
I pursed my lips and didn’t give them a good look on my face. “She suffered a lot when she was born. So she looks smaller in size than regular babies.”
Luna pulled Samuel and she said in pain, “Blame me, it’s all my fault.”
I felt that the two of them were a bit baffling, so I couldn’t help but look at Dennis. He took my hand and patted it to appease me. In the meantime, he looked at Luna and Samuel, and said, “Please take a seat.”
Probably they had noticed that I was annoyed. Luna and Samuel both sat down.
I couldn’t help but feel puzzled. First, Luna’s attitude towards me from the beginning to the present was completely different.
Second, Samuel should have known about those old videos of Luna. But if he did, how did he still treat her so calmly?
What man wouldn’t care about his wife’s past? How could Samuel’s face be so relaxed?
Or was there anything I had been missing?
Seeing that there were still a few invited guests who had not arrived yet, Luna looked at everyone and said, “All dishes are served. Everyone, please enjoy!”
Right after Luna had said so, we heard a loud voice coming from the outside. It was Olivia’s voice, “Mom, what did I do wrong? Why do you avoid seeing me?”
A few minutes later, Olivia and Marcus came in together. Olivia was still wearing the same clothes as what we had seen her in at T Villas. The haggard loneliness on her face was obviously visible.
Luna stood up from her seat. She didn’t have a good look on her face. Looking at Olivia, Luna said, “Haven’t I told you not to look for me?”
She walked towards Olivia with a sense of anger but was pulled by Samuel.
Samuel looked at Olivia and said patiently, “Come here and take a seat. All the dishes were served.”
Olivia didn’t sit down. She just looked at Samuel, her eyes were red and swollen, “Dad, what did I do wrong? Why are you and Mom unwilling to see me?”
Samuel sighed and didn’t seem to want to say more. He just looked at her and said, “Olivia, everyone is here. Whatever you want to say, we can talk after we finish dinner, okay?”
Olivia wanted to add something but was stopped by Marcus. These two finally sat down.
We sat so closely with each other. And when Olivia saw that Dennis was serving me food, the look in her eyes was terrifying.
Luna was chitchatting with a few guests. She then looked at me and smiled, “Clara, The VP told me you really like desserts. So I specially asked the chef to prepare a piece of matcha cake for you. Have a try and see if you like it? Don’t forget to drink some soup to replenish nutrition and energy too. You look too skinny now, besides, you are breastfeeding. You should eat more.”
Saying so, Luna put a piece of cake in front of me and gave me a bowl of soup too.
I felt a little awkward. I frowned and looked at Dennis, not sure what was going on.
Dennis looked calm, and he said, “Give it a try and see if you like it, okay babe?”
Even Dennis said so. I didn’t say anything else and went ahead to take a bite – The cake was good actually. But I had so much going on in my mind now, so I didn’t finish the cake.
I drank a few mouthfuls of the soup. It tasted good.
Seeing that I liked it, Luna was about to refill the soup for me very attentively. This time, Dennis stopped her and said, “Ms. Luna, please allow me. It’s the husband’s job to serve her lady.”
It was just a small ordinary act. Olivia glared at me angrily because Dennis had said so.
Clarie started making some noises – She must be hungry. Alex had been taking care of her for a long time, so he figured immediately.
He looked at me and asked, “Did you bring the nursing bottle?”
Dennis was already holding the nursing bottle to feed Clarie. But she didn’t take it. Instead, she kept grabbing on me.
