âIs this your solution?â He suddenly replied in a freezing tone.
âYeah!â I had planned this from the beginning that I would use this incident as an excuse to leave Newton Town naturally.
Dennisâ tall figure stood in front of me and he just sneered, âFirst you aborted the baby and then signed the divorce paper, and now youâre going to quit the job. Clara, what are you really up to?â
Surrounded by his aura, I sweated and stepped back out of instinct. He then suddenly hugged my waist and stared at me, âWhere is your next stop?â
âNo!â I hurriedly denied and turned to him, âYou are the one who always wanted me to sign on the divorce paper, arenât you? Now that Iâve signed it and you finally can be together with Olivia. Isnât this what you want?â
âGreat!â He smiled gruesomely and gripped me much harder, âClara, you know I hate it when people decide things for me. Do you really think that you can just walk out of here freely after murdering my baby?â
âYou didnât want that baby, did you?â I frowned and was really confused. âOlivia threatened her life on forcing me to abort this matter. Instead of waiting for you tell me to abort this baby, I might as well do that on my own.â
The air suddenly cooled down and Dennis just gazed at me dangerously. I had a feeling that I was facing a ferocious lion which can wring my head off instantly.
âYou sure are clever!â
I really didnât know what he was thinking about and was damn sure that this wasnât a compliment.
âClara, donât try to trick me. Well, itâs okay that you aborted the baby since we can always keep on trying!â
Then he just left coldly, leaving me alone.
I was really bewildered. When other men said things like this, they definitely meant to console and soothe the women, but Dennis surly didnât mean that.
âWhy are you still standing there?â He turned around and frowned.
I suddenly didnât know what to do and just followed him.
Dennis then drove me to a courtyard house which housed a Chinese restaurant.
Upon entering the restaurant, a pink-clad waitress greeted us and smiled to Dennis, âPresident George, this way please.â
Then I went into a private room through the yard with Dennis and saw Marcus having tea with Mario. They seemed to be chatting.
Then the waitress just stepped out.
Dennis took the seat opposite of their tea table and said lightly, âWhy havenât ordered yet?â
âZac is still making the soup.â Mario then turned to me, âAre you hungry?â
I paused and then shook my head.
Marcus despised me a lot at this point, so seeing that Mario was so considerate, he said spitefully, âWhat are you being so delicate for? You just lost a baby, right? I donât think you are precious enough to let Zac make the soup specifically for you. He is a well-known chef internationally. What a waste of resource!â
Mario wanted to stop him, but I just smiled, âWhat a great view here! Iâd like to walk around.â
It was obvious that I said this to Dennis and Mario.
Dennis glanced at me and didnât say anything. Mario replied, âRight, itâs indeed beautiful here. You can go and have a stroll. Thereâs a miniature landscape nearby and has a pond with lots of fishes in it.â
I said thanks and just left the room.
âAre you insane, Mario? How come that you care so much about that woman? If she didnât marry Dennis by using unscrupulous means, Olivia would have long been living happily with Dennis now.â
Though I really didnât want to eavesdrop their conversation, Marcusâs voice was so loud that the whole yard can hear him.
Then I just fastened my steps and left the yard.
There was indeed a wonderful scenery out here.
Located in the downtown area of Newton Town, this yard was quite spacious and had such a large plot for growing flowers outside which was a clear sign that the owner here was quite loaded.
Walking on the pebble-strewn path, I saw a man probably in his thirties breaking a twig with a kid.
As I was approaching them, the man stopped and greeted, âHi.â
I smiled back, âHello.â
The kid beside him was just starting to learn how to walk and ran wobbly towards me without nay fear of a stranger.
Eyes wide open, the kid handed the yellow flower in his hand to me.
I instantly got merry and wanted to hold him up but was stopped by the man, âYou are pregnant. Heâs quite naughty and might hurt you.â
I paused and turned to the man in astonishment, âYou...â How did he know that I was pregnant?
But I didnât really finish the question.
He replied, âYou donât have to be surprised. I knew something about the medical skills and judged from your look and the way you protected your belly, I assumed that you are pregnant.â
I nodded and really admired this man.
âWhat a special view here.â I said, âIt is more like a vegetable garden.â
The man grinned and corrected, âWell, itâs an herb garden to be more specific. There are over 2000 herbs here and some of them are in the brink of extinction.â
I paused and examined around and found out that there really werenât many veggies here and had a great many of unidentified plants here.
âThis place is originally called herb garden. The Newton Town has the most comfortable climate in the country and is the best place to nurture vegetation, so it would house some unique and special herbs here.â The man then put away the twig and was about to leave with the baby.
I nodded and started surveying this place seeing that he turned around.
But then he suddenly stopped and said to me, âMrs. George, donât stay too long here. Some of the herbs here are not good for your baby.â
I froze and he had left when I turned around. Did he know me?
Dennis came out to look for me in a while and seeing that I was watching the ants by the creek, he suddenly approached me and said. âLetâs go.â
I was deeply absorbed in the view and was taken aback by his sound, so I nearly slipped but was luckily grabbed by him.
Please Love Me, Mr. George ï¤Chapter 24 Shoulder All the Loss He frowned, âAre you an idiot?â
I came to myself and smiled to him awkwardly, âI zoned out.â
He then just left.
I had a feeling that Dennis was not as indifferent as before to me these two days.
So I followed him and plucked up my courage, âThis place isnât a restaurant before, isnât it?â
âNo.â He answered and didnât seem like that he wanted to continue the conversation.
