Dennisâs face grew darker and colder.
âWhy are you being so mean? At least Iâm holding something you'll never be able to touch. This is more realistic than your wishful thinking!â
He was also very mean. After hanging up, Dennis put his hand up and smoothed my hair behind my ear without any sign of anger. âIâll take you to the hospital tomorrow,â he said.
I pressed my lips together, feeling tired, and closed my eyes for sleep.
That night, I slept soundly.
The next day, I woke up.
Dennis had changed his clothes in the bedroom. His slender body was sitting on the chair beside him on the computer, not knowing whether he was working or researching materials.
When he saw I was awake, he put the computer down, got up, walked over to me, bent over, kissed my forehead and said, âAre you going to lie down for a while?â
I frowned. âWhatâs up?â
He raised his eyebrow. âWe agreed yesterday that we should go to the doctor today.â
âNo!â Hank might not be here anymore, but I was still an employee of the Gibsonâs. And JD Technology Co., Ltd. was the project I had started and I had no reason to give up.
He frowned, hugged me up, gave me a shallow kiss and said, âGet up and wash.â
I managed to get a good sleep, so my mind was clear. Away from him, I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom.
As I brushed my teeth, I heard a knock on my bedroom door and thought Nanny Daisy was calling for my breakfast.
After washing up, I walk out to find Olivia and Dennis cuddling. Olivia burst into tears, not knowing what had provoked her.
...
I could not help pursing my lips as I looked at this pair of sweet lovers. I wasnât in a hurry to do anything else, so I folded my hands and watched the loving coupleâs next move.
Dennis didnât look good. He didnât see me come out because he had his back to me. He pushed Olivia aside and said coldly, âYouâve been in the Lewis family for at least six months.
The Lewis family must have given you a sense of grace, and why are you so self-deprecating now?â
Of course, Olivia, who was pushed away by saw me coming out of the bathroom. Her eyes narrowed slightly and they fell on Dennis.
âYou always knew how I felt about you. You agreed to take care of me not because of duty at all, but because you were attracted to me. You canât let go of Clara now, only because of your duty and debt to her. You don't love her at all, do you?â
I raise my eyebrows. Well, was she trying to encourage Dennis to say something to hurt me?
Dennis said dryly, âItâs none of your business. Donât come here again.â
âIf you donât answer me straight, then you donât love Clara, do you?â Olivia looked at him and continued, âOn the night of my birthday, you knew it was her birthday, too. But you chose to come to Lewisâs because I was more important to you than she was, right?â
Dennis seemed annoyed. His voice increased a little, and he warned, âEnough!â
Refusing to stop, Olivia continued, âIf you had been there that night for Claraâs birthday, my mother would never have stood a chance of attacking her.
To put it bluntly, it was because you didn't love her that you let her go out on her own when she was about to give birth, and finally gave my mother the chance to do something to her. My mother was responsible for that childâs death, and you helped her.â
Olivia said excitedly, fixing her eyes on Dennis, âNow if you choose to stay with Clara and take care of her out of guilt, you will end up ruining her. You know, you can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink. If you do not love her but to stay with her for a lifetime, you will suffer, and she will suffer, too!â
Dennis had his back to me, so I couldnât see his face. I just smiled faintly and said, âIt really doesnât matter if weâre happy or not. The only thing that matters, Miss Pearson, is that as long as youâre unhappy, I think I will be happy enough.â
At my voice, Dennis turned around and narrowed his eyes slightly. âAre you done?â
I nodded, looked at him, then Olivia, pulled a smile out of my face and said, âGood morning. You guys need privacy? Shall I make room for you?â
Dennis frowned, looking angry. âClara!â His voice was full of warnings.
I shrugged my shoulders, not feeling angry, but said, âOkay, you two have a good time. Iâm gonna go.â
I hadnât taken a few steps before Dennis grabbed my wrist. âDonât be angry, Okay?â
I pressed my lips together, feeling uncomfortable.
I was about to scold him, but he looked at Olivia and said coldly, âMiss Pearson, do you want me to ask you out?â
The remark was tinged with unkindness.
Olivia looked very pale and opened her mouth. Her eyes were half red. She was about to say something more, but seeing Dennis's grim face, she said nothing, just gave me a smothered stare and walked out.
Dennis and I were left in the big bedroom. Looking at me, he said reluctantly, âHow long have you been listening?â
I shrugged, âI donât know.â
He curled his lips. âYouâre angry about what I said?â
âItâs a shame that my birthday turned into the anniversary of my childâs death.â I said lightly with no emotion.
Perhaps he had not expected me to say this, or perhaps my words had hurt him, and he took me in his arms and pressed me against his heart, and said in a husky voice, âSheâll be in trouble.â
Who?
Olivia? Or Luna?
I didn't ask. I just let him hold me.
âDennis, Iâm hungry, will you let go of me?â I as really uncomfortable to be hugged by him and couldnât help saying.
With a slight pause, he released me and pulled me downstairs.
I thought Olivia had gone back, but she was still there.
Yara and Olivia were talking in the kitchen hall when they saw Dennis and me coming down.
Yara smiled, got up, walked over to us and said, âDennis, donât you have a meeting today? Why did you get up so late? Nanny Daisy has your favorite breakfast ready. Grab a bite. Olivia and I will go to the office with you later.â
As she spoke, Yara had pushed Dennis and me aside. I slowed my pace and followed them lightly.
Please Love Me, Mr. George ï¤Chapter 233 Half Enemy Yara 5 Yara tucked Dennis into the seat next to Olivia and turned to Nanny Daisy in the kitchen. âNanny Daisy, bring him a bowl of pumpkin porridge.â
Then she looked at Olivia, smiling, and said, "Olivia, don't you know? You know what? When Dennis was a kid, he came back from school and found Nanny Daisy cooking pumpkin porridge in the kitchen. He finished it all. Nanny Daisy came back and thought it was burnt!âlightnoveldaily.com
