He looked at Luna, whose face had brightened and seemed to rejoice, and nodded, âAll right, all right. Iâm gonna go rest, and Iâll be right back.â
Luna raised her hand and signaled him to hurry back to rest.
As soon as Samuel Lewis left, Dennis pulled me over to the side of the bed, looked at me and said, âYou guys have a chat. Weâre running out of fluids. Iâll get the doctor.â
He had gone out before I could answer.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the ward fell completely silent.
For I was accustomed to silence, and though it was quiet, I was at ease.
But Luna opened her mouth several times, hesitated, looked at me for a long time and said, âHe was really nice to you.â
When she said âhe,â she meant Dennis. I knew. So I nodded and said yes.
Then there was a long silence.
âI heard that Clariana and Mario Bennett are going over to his home in H Town?â She said, somewhat warily.
I nodded, then looked at the messy lines on my palms, feeling irritated.
After a pause, she said, âYou and Dennis are old enough to have another baby.â
I looked up at her. She froze and said nervously, âI... Iâm just worried about you.â
I sighed.
How did it come to this? Why were they so wary of each other?
But if not, how were we supposed to get along?
Luckily, Dennis called in a nurse to change her potion, which helped lighten the atmosphere.
Dennis came in with breakfast, mostly porridge, and she looked at Luna, âLuna, have some porridge first! Iâll get you something you like at noon.â
Luna nodded and said thank you.
After all, they didnât spend much time together, and when there was nothing to talk about, everyone would be silent.
Good thing Karina came. She carried a lot of bags. Although she didnât seem to talk much, she couldnât stop once she started talking.
So, it was Karina who kept Luna chatting for hours.
Being sick, after all, Luna fell asleep after talking for a while.
Karina left in a hurry because she was busy going home to see her child.
Before long, Samuel Lewis was back.
Dennis and I got out of the hospital, and there was nothing left to do but go to the George Group.
In the car, Dennis looked at me sideways. It was not until the traffic lights that he said, âAre you in a bad mood?â
I was stunned and said lightly, âNot exactly. I donât know how to put it. If the way a mother and her daughter get along with each other is cautious, it is always a little sad.â
He pressed his lips together and looked at me, âSo, you chose to let it go?
I looked up at him and sighed, âDo I have any other choice but to go this way?â
He shook his head, âNo!â
I laughed, âSo, in the future, we still have to have children and live, people are always inseparable from family. Grandma would be happy to know that I found my parents.â
He nodded, took me in his broad palm, and smiled, âYes, she would.â
The George Group.
Dennis pulled up to the building, we got out, and he took right into the building.
Since I came back to City P, there had been basically all kinds of good and bad gossip.
I was more or less familiar with City P and people here.
So when Dennis and I walked into the hall, everyone we met would say hello to us.
I managed to smile my way into the elevator. I sighed and quipped, âI guess being Mrs. George can be hard work sometimes.â
Dennis smiled a little and said, âYou have to get used to it.â
I shrugged. What else could I say?
Dennis had to get to a meeting. We were just getting off the elevator when Toby came over with the papers. He looked at me and said, âYou can wait for me in the office later. If you feel sleepy, you can take a rest. I will come with you after the meeting.â
I nodded and watched as he and Toby entered the office. They were really busy with the holidays coming up.
âMiss Kennedy!â Someone behind me said. I was stunned, then I turned back to see an acquaintance, but I canât remember her name.
I pulled a smile and said, âHi!â
When she saw me polite and distant, she smiled and said, âMiss Kennedy, this is Rose. I work for the George Group in Newton Town. Iâve been transferred here recently. Iâm from the accounting department.â
I remembered, with hindsight, that I had dealt with her when I accepted money from Mr. Stefan Pearson for the project.
I couldnât help but say with a smile, âItâs been almost five years, and I havenât remembered who you are. Iâm really sorry!â
She shook her head and said, âItâs okay. Itâs okay. Itâs been so long, and itâs normal to forget. By the way, youâre here with Mr. George, right?â
I nodded and pointed in the direction of the conference room, âHeâs at a meeting, so Iâm just hanging around.â
She said with a smile, âI'm downstairs, dropping off this yearâs financial reports for Mr. George. The meeting will be over soon. Are you available? May I invite you for lunch?â
She was a little embarrassed, âI have been here for several months, but I donât have any friends, so I thought since we have known each other for many years, I would like to invite you to have lunch and go shopping.â
I nodded and said with a smile, âSure, whenever youâre free, Iâm always available. Iâm off work, so Iâm not pressed for time.â
She paused for a moment, then smiled pleasantly and said, âReally? Weâll take a rain check then. Iâm getting the paperwork in now.â
I nodded and smiled as she hurried to the meeting room with the report.
The door to the conference room opened, and the person inside came out, and it was Sheila Torres. Rose met her, said hello, and hurried in.
Please Love Me, Mr. George ï¤Chapter 415 We all Know What we Want 7 I was going to go straight into Dennisâs office, but I was stopped a few steps later.
âMiss Kennedy!â
I frowned, stopped, and looked back at her, but I didnât respond.
Her body was soft and slender, her disposition excellent, her face delicate and beautiful. As I said, this woman was the beauty of beauties.
She walked up to me, wearing high heels and a head taller than me. She looked at me and smiled, âMiss Kennedy, do you have a minute? Would you like to join me for a cup of afternoon tea?â
I looked at her and shook my head without thinking, âIâm sorry, but Iâm not in the habit of having afternoon tea.â
She raised her eyebrows, âYou can get into the habit.â
âNo, thank you.â
With that, I turned and went straight into Dennisâs office.
Fortunately, the woman knew the right balance, and she did not follow.
Dennis was very good. I had known that since I married him. But I also knew that he was as loyal to his wife, to his family, to his country as a soldier.
Thank Grandpa George for that. Although he didnât teach Dennis how to love, he taught Dennis the greatest love.
So, I could see Sheila Torresâs admiration for Dennis. I was not blind. I could see her ambition, too. She was a woman that no ordinary man could handle.
