Chapter 294 The Mysterious Man 6
I thought for a second. And then I took out some cereals. I was going to make myself some cereals with milk.
Dennis was out of the shower. He came outside and saw that I was getting busy in the kitchen. His slender body was leaning against the door frame.
His two sparkling dark eyes stared at me, with a big smile on his face.
I turned and took a look at me, “The sitters asked for a leave today. What would you like for breakfast?”
“Anything you make!” He walked in, put his arms around me from behind, put his handsome cheek against my face, and said in a low voice, “Would you like to take a walk later?”
I shook my head, “Alex is bring Clarie Bear here soon. Uncle Link and Leo are coming over too.”
Dennis nodded. Seeing my clumsy motions, he stopped my hands and asked, “Are you going to cook for them?”
I nodded, looking at him, “Why wouldn’t I?”
He laughed, “Of course you can. But it’s only kind of you to remind them to grab some food before they come over.”
I…
He took the cereals from my hand, “Wait over there. There’s milk and juice in the fridge, too.”
Did he just despise my cooking?
That was a bit awkward. I went upstairs to get changed instead. And when I was back, breakfast was already served by Dennis.
He made some cereals with milk, a few snacks, and a portion of sunny-side-up eggs. They all looked delicious.
Seeing that I had changed clothes, he smiled, “Come on over and eat!”
I walked to the seat, but I didn’t eat immediately. Instead, I looked at food for a second, then looked at him with my chin on my hand, and said, “Did Grandpa teach you how to cook when you were little?”
He shrugged, “The George’s men know it all. Grandpa was a great cook, so is Uncle Andrew.”
I nodded – It seemed like it. Uncle Andrew and his wife were always sweetly in love and seemed to be affectionate about each other. Because his wife was infertile, they had been living a DINK life all these years.
Now I thought about it, all George men were loyal to their marriage.
“Hey, the food is getting cold!” He served me some egg, putting it right on my plate. He then looked at me and said, “When spring comes, let’s bring Clarie Bear with us and go back to City P!”
I was surprised at first, and then I realized the new year holiday was about to end. Almost all companies would be back to work again soon.
After a brief pause, I looked at Dennis and said, “Clarie Bear is still too young. I would like to stay here for a while in Newton Town with her.”
Dennis Frowned, “Why would you rather stay here than go back to City P?” I pursed my lips, “It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that Clarie Bear is still too young.”
“No more excuses, babe!” He said with a calm look on his face, “About what happened in the hotel room, I will find out. I won’t let that happen anymore. There’s no direct evidence to prove that Aunt Yara and Olivia did it. But Aunt Yara is already in custody because she’s an involved suspect. Clara, we’ve got a long way ahead of us. We should face it together instead of avoid problems like this.”
I frowned – Of course, but it was always easier said than done.
I let out a light sigh, “I know, I…”
“Then let me arrange it for you.”
“I am taking Clarie Bear back to HL Area.” I spoke, and I looked at Dennis.
“With whom?” He stopped eating, with a cold look on.
“With Leo!”
He pursed his lips, feeling a bit upset, “When did you decide?”
“Before the new year!” I didn’t even know of Diana’s accident then.
“Did you ever think about telling me about this?” He was a little annoyed.
I had a headache. I pinched between my brows, and said impatiently, “Well, you know now.”
Putting down my fork and knife, I got up. I wasn’t in the mood for food anymore, and went straight upstairs to the study.
I was still in charge of the AI project at the George’s group. The new product would be released after the new year holiday, and with the annual leave ending shortly, the release plan had to be ready immediately.
But after working on it for a while, I was not in the mood to continue. I didn’t sleep last night, but I wasn’t feeling sleepy. I did a severe headache, though.
Dennis was leaning on the door frame. He didn’t seem mad, and his eyes were clear.
I saw that he was staring at me, I got annoyed, “What is it?”
He raised his brows, “Clarie Bear is here.”
I put aside what I was doing, stood up and was on my way out. Dennis stopped me at the door, and then he kissed me.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
He didn’t let go of me until a while later. He held my hand and brought me downstairs.
Alex was sitting in the living room, tickling Clarie Bear. Link Kennedy and Leo were here too.
Leo wasn’t good at dealing with kids, besides, Clarie Bear was still an infant – She was unlike a one or two-year-old. With infants, you always had to be more carefully.
So, Leo avoided holding the baby. In the meantime, he kept commenting the way Alex had been holding Clarie Bear, now and then.
Alex got so annoyed that he shoved the baby right into Leo’s arms, and he said angrily, “Yes, you are the baby expert! There you go!”
Clarie Bear was placed in Leo’s arms, and immediately he froze. The motions of his tall and well-built body were extra cautious while he was holding the baby.
His body was stiff as a rock. Clarie Bear took to him right away, and she started pulling Leo’s expensive watch out of curiosity.
Finally seeing that Dennis and I came downstairs, Leo was so relieved. He immediately said to Dennis, “What took you so long? Come on over and hold your daughter!”
Dennis was a natural baby expert, besides, he had spent so much time taking care of Clarie Bear – She was growing well and healthily under his care.
Dennis took Clarie over from Leo’s arms gently and seated her on his laps to tease her.
Alex glanced at Leo with contempt, “No wonder you don’t have kids. You know nothing about raising a baby. No woman would like to be the mother of your child.”
Leo was annoyed, “You know what, Mr. Know-it-all. You are in your late twenties, and you are still alone by yourself!”
Alex sneered, “I don’t mind! At least I am not counting the days till I kick the bucket – They would find your voice annoying in hell. Geez!”
These two…
They were acting so childish!
I served Uncle Link a cup of coffee and sat next to him. He saw me serve, so he frowned, “Why didn’t you guys hire nannies?”
“We did, but they took a leave today.” I spoke, smiling. “Dennis and I prefer quietness. The sitters are over here whenever Clarie Bear is to take care of her. If Clarie Bear isn’t around, Dennis and I enjoy some more privacy without the helpers.”
Uncle Link nodded. He then looked at Dennis meaningfully, “I heard that you’ve found some treasure at the Ny Villas. Would you like to show me?”
Dennis raised his brows, handed Clarie Bear to Alex and went straight to the study with Uncle Link. They must be talking about something important.
I looked at Leo – He was looking at Clarie Bear. I couldn’t help but raise my brows, “You turned thirty five already. Did you meet someone special?”
Leo looked back at me. Alex hummed, and then he said, “Why would any woman be willing to spend the rest of her life with him? He’s got nothing but a pretty face.”
“How did you know, are you one of them?” Leo gave him a stare. He then looked at me and said calmly, “I don’t want to get married. I’ve got you and Clarie Bear.”
“That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard!” Alex rolled his eyes at Leo, “Did you forget that Clara is married to Dennis and Clarie Bear is their kid now?”
“Seriously?” Leo looked at Alex with a serious look on. “Are you going to take a walk outside with Clarie Bear?”
Realizing that Leo might be getting angry, Alex wisely went to the yard with Clarie Bear.
After Leo calmed down, I looked at him and said, “Did Uncle Link find anything?”
He pursed his lips and his face became serious, “The test results are out, that man may not have had sex with you.”
