Love You Can’t Say

Leo Kennedy…

He held his forehead, feeling a little helpless, and looked at me for a while before saying, “They don’t have lobsters here. I’ll go out and find lobsters for you. Stay here and wait for me, Okay?”

He got up and left. I sat in the VIP room by myself, and my head was buzzing – How could I not care! I was a human being after all, not a heartless puppet.

No matter how tough I tried to act on the outside, in the end I couldn’t get the thorns out in my heart – They stung!

“What’s up, Ms. Clara? You are having a good time here?” The appearance of Marcus Thomson was quite unexpected.

He was dressed properly, and his hair was specially styled. He looked very energetic, and it seemed that he was here for business meetings.

I pursed my lips and glanced at him with a calm expression, “Mr. Thomson, likewise.”

The possibility of business meetings during the new year holiday wasn’t high, though!

Sure enough, another person, Olivia Pearson, followed him shortly after.

It was quite a surprise. Olivia saw me, her face paled a bit, but she didn’t greet me. She just tugged at the corner of Marcus’s clothes and said, “Marcus, the food is served – Let’s go!”

Marcus took her hand and said in a warm voice, “Wait a minute!”

Marcus looked at me and said, “Ms. Clara is surely a tough woman. She has experienced such a terrible thing, but she now can come in a restaurant with other men and have fun chatting so calmly. It seems that Dennis is worrying for nothing.”

I frowned, suppressing my anger, “Don’t you think it through before you speak, Mr. Thomson?”

Marcus sneered, “Did I hurt you? Dennis has repeatedly given in for you, and he has forgiven your bad moods and lashing out at him. He tortured himself with hangovers, because he was worried that you were in good health after the miscarriage. He has always been a proud man, but he ended up doing a sterilization for you. But now you are with another guy here in a restaurant, only a few days after you just have cheated on him with some random dude! Do you have any idea how shameful this would be for him if some paparazzi took photos of you two? Do you know how many people would be waiting to ridicule him?”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

His face was gloomy and his emotions were indifferent, “Clara, do you never care about other people’s feelings when you do things? He is your husband, but why are you treating him like he was a stranger in your marriage?”

I was shocked, and it took me a while to react. I looked at Marcus, “What did you just say?”

He sneered, and his eyes were full of disdain, “Do you know what sterilization means to a man? He even has given up the possibility of having his child for you and your so-called friend’s child, isn’t it ridiculous?”

My mind went blank for a few seconds, looking at him. My voice was a little hoarse, “Why?”

Marcus’s eyes were dim, with a strong sense of irony, “Why? Dennis fears for you to go through the pain and sufferings of having a baby again. He fears that he would leave you the wrong impression that he doesn’t want to take in your friend’s baby as his own. He is always caring for you unconditionally, trying to give you everything of the best. What have you done for him?”

I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say. I felt awful inside my heart.

Listening to what Marcus had said, Olivia couldn’t help sneering – Her voice was sad and shrill, “That’s ridiculous, and unbelievable.”

Marcus turned around in hindsight, saw her face pale and mouth open, “Olivia!”

Olivia looked up at Marcus, tears rolling down her cheeks, “You know what? From the day I met Dennis, I always thought he would be there for me for the rest of my life – I was such a ridiculous joke!”

Perhaps not wanting me to see Olivia in embarrassment, Marcus held on to her, gave me a meaningful look, turned and took Olivia away.

When Leo came back, he was carrying a large box of lobsters in his hand. He looked at the these two who had just left outside.

With gloomy eyes, he put the lobsters down on the table and looked at me, “Did they mess with you?”

I shook my head. When the waiter started serving the food, I said, “I would like these packed as take-outs instead, please.”

Leo pursed his lips, “What’s wrong?”

“I…” I suddenly thought of what Marcus had just said – “Do you never care about other people’s feelings when you do things?”

All of a sudden, I swallowed the words that I was about to say. I looked at Leo and said, “Should we order some take-outs for Uncle Link, too? Perhaps he hasn’t had dinner yet.”

Leo sat back on the seat and said, “Don’t worry about it. The helpers at home will handle it.” He then raised his hand to signal the waiter to go out.

He looked at me and said, “I bought you lobsters baked with garlic. Try and see if you like it.”

I nodded and opened the takeout box. It was very fragrant, but with the burden of thoughts in my mind, I didn’t have the appetite to eat much.

Seeing that I stopped after a few bites, Leo asked, “Do you not like the flavor of it?”

“Yes, it’s yummy. It’s just that I am feeling a bit full.” I spoke. And at the same time, I got a text message – It was from Dennis.

“Where are you, babe?”

I responded, “Outside in a restaurant.”

Dennis, “When are you coming home?”

I, “Soon!”

Dennis, “I am waiting for you.”

I, “Ok!”

After sending the message, I looked up and saw Leo was looking at me motionless, “Are we leaving?”

I nodded, “It’s getting late, I should go home now.”

He pursed his lips, “Okay!”

I didn’t eat much of the lobsters. So I packed them in the takeout box again and took it away.

On the way, seeing that I hadn’t spoken much, Leo opened his mouth, but didn’t utter a word for a long time.

When we finally arrived at T Villas, he looked at me and said, “You’ve promised me that you would come back to the HL Area after the new year celebrations, does it still count?”

I was stunned for a moment, “Of course!”

He nodded, stopped the car, looked at me and said, “Go back in!”

…

Entering the hallway, the lights in the villa were still on – Dennis was reading on the sofa, and when he heard the movement, he turned to take a look back at me.

Then Dennis put down the book and his eyes fell on me.

Looking at him, I was spaced out for a moment. I then walked over, sat beside him, and took the initiative to lean my head in his arms.

Sensing that I was in a low mood, he put his arms around me and said in a warm voice, “What’s wrong, babe? What happened?”

I looked up at him, closed my eyes slightly, and hugged him for a moment. And then I lowered my head and reached out to unfasten his belt.

He stopped me immediately, and said with a smile on, “Hey babe, hold up. We are in the living room. Do you want it so bad now?”

I pursed my lips, didn’t speak, and pulled him to go upstairs.

He picked me up and went straight into the bedroom upstairs.

Sensing that something was wrong with me, Dennis frowned, “What is it, babe?”

He pressed my hands – I pursed my lips and didn’t know how to respond for a while. After a while, I looked up at him, “When did you do it?”

He frowned, “Did what?”

“The ligation surgery!”

Dennis’s face sank, and his voice was serious, “Who told you that?”

My eyes were watering, and my voice was choked, “Did it hurt?”

Looking at me, he found what I had said a little funny. He then pulled me into his arms, and said helplessly, “It was just a small operation. I didn’t feel anything!”

I wrapped my arms around his waist, feeling a little sad, “I’m sorry!”

“It was just a minor surgery, so it didn’t hurt me. Plus we have Clarie Bear now. I want to focus on caring for and raising her together with you. I am not thinking about having another kid. Don’t worry, babe.”

He spoke to me in a warm voice. He caressed my long hair, took my hand and smelled it, “What did you have for dinner in the restaurant?”
