âMy death could be the only way to stop you from pestering, right?â I said while looking at the flickering streetlight in distance. Something pessimistic started to crawl on my heart.
He let out a spooky smile, âI wonât let it happen. I canât live for the rest of my life without you.â
I remained silent.
I knew fear didnât work. My life still needed to go on.
âJust leave Dennis! We can live a happy life together just like when we were kids. Dennis doesnât deserve your love!â
I lowered my head and smiled. How hilarious! When everybody insisted that I didnât deserve Dennisâs love, only Leo perceived something opposite.
âThere is no way turning back. Grandma had gone and so did the mulberry tree in front of the door. Leo, just leave me alone and stop ruining my life, okay?â though I knew it wouldnât work, I still told him my wish.
He still stared at the dark sky. His eyes turned to be blurred but still dark. After quite a while, he finally uttered, âI have tried so. But it didnât work!â
âForget about it!â I was a bit tired of this lame talk. I stood up and looked at him, âDrive me home.â
Now I figured it outâhe didnât intend to hurt me this time. Otherwise, he wouldnât spend so much effort taking me here. He just fancied seeing my helpless eyes soaked in horror. As a predator, he only wanted a prey to kill time.
So I was sure he wouldnât do anything harmful to me by now.
He sent me back to H Villas. After he parked the car, he locked the door again and fixed his eyes on me, âWhat about a night kiss?â
âHuh, donât ever think about it!â I said with indifference while looking at him.
His desire for control seemed to surge up. He furrowed his brows, leaned against the seat and looked at me from above domineeringly, âTell me!
What if Dennis sees you staying in the car for long?â
But then he nodded and continued, âWell, but now he must be tending his beloved lady in the hospital, I reckon. So he might not have time to care about you.â
While speaking, he approached. But the clear smell of tobacco from his body displeased me.
âLeo, donât you think my death will be a relief for you?â
He huffed seriously, âHow dare you!â
Though it wasnât the right time for me to test if it mattered to him, I would still deem it worthy if my death could put an end to this devil.
But suddenly, a beam of light came inside the yard. It was the headlight of a car. I raised up my head to look outside and saw that it was Dennisâs jeep.
Then I noticed that it was already at midnight. I didnât even expect him to return home.
Leoâs car was eye-catching enough for Dennis to notice as soon as he drove into the yard. But he didnât get off. Instead, he lit up a cigarette and stayed in the car to watch both of us.
Leo had been a troublemaker though he always behaved like a gentleman in public. As he noticed that Dennis still stayed in the car, he inclined himself towards me with a snicker, âWhat if he see me kissing you?â
âAre you out of your mind?â I nudged to get away from him. However, the space in the car was too limited.
He nudged forward and dropped a kiss on my lips. Then he smiled at Dennis, looking nasty.
âLeo, are you crazy?â
âYou are right!â he nodded. But then Dennis had got off his car.
I frowned and looked at Leo, âOpen the door!â
He raised his brows and simply ignored me. We saw Dennis got off and entered the villa. Then he smiled at me, âSee? Clara, he doesnât even love you. That was why he didnât even care the kiss.â
Leo was really talented in smashing oneâs hope. But I sneered, âSo what? It has nothing to do with you! Let me off...â
However, a bang of loud noise sounded and then the window of Leoâs car was smashed.
I was stunned when looking at Dennis, who was standing beside the car with coldness and rage shown in his eyes. That was truthâeveryone had a dark side.
No matter how decent and refined both of them showed from the façade, they were both dirty from the inside.
The principle applied to the three of us There was also a bloodthirsty evil lurking inside Dennis.
He was holding a sledge, which belonged to the worker who came to fix rockery in the yard few days ago. He simply sledged the window.
Undoubtedly, it failed to withstand such a strong hit.
He squinted and looked at the window. Then Dennis reached his hand inside to open the door.
As soon as the door was unlocked, I got off the car but still remained unspoken. I just watched this neck-and-neck rivalry.
Leo squinted. Though he still sat on the seat, he still looked threatening, âYou want a fight?â
Fist fight had been a traditional way to solve dispute between men. Only the fist could convince each other.
Dennis looked serious while slightly moving his thin lips, âOf course!â
The loud smash of window woke Nanny Daisy up, who lived outside the villa. She turned on all lights in the yard and hurried over.
She was stunned when seeing Dennis and me and also Leoâa stranger to her. She asked worriedly, âSir, shall we call 911?â
Dennis took off his tailor-made suit jacket. He huffed with determined dark eyes, âNo! Go to get a chair for her. I need her to sit and watch.â
I was speechless.
Nanny Daisy nodded and hurried inside the villa.
I frowned and looked at Dennis, displeased, âI donât want to watch the fight. Itâs too violent for the baby. Watch yourself. Donât get hurt. I will wait for you inside.â
Perhaps what I said worked. Dennis seemed to relax a bit. He smiled and looked at me, âOkay, just get in and wait for me.â
âFuck!â Leo cursed nastily as he had always done. But he seemed to be irritated out of no reason. Then he punched at Dennis.
The fight started.
I didnât intend to stay. So I simply ignored the noise behind.
As I entered the parlor, Nanny Daisy asked nervously, âWhatâs going on?â
Please Love Me, Mr. George ï¤Chapter 69 Being Setup âNothing!â I shook my head. But now I was starving because I didnât have much food during the banquet. I looked at Nanny Daisy, âIs there anything else to eat?â
âYes...â she ran to the kitchen while saying. Then she came out with a pot of stewed chicken and a plate of braised egg.
I was quite surprised while looking at her, âNanny Daisy, now itâs over midnight. How did you...â
I was really amazed when seeing the steaming hot food.
She smiled, âMr. George called me to prepare it for you. He said you barely had food during the banquet. So you will be starving when you return home.â
I was stunned with mixed feelings surging up in my heart.
I couldnât tell he only cared about the baby or me.
Then there came groan outside the villa. Nanny Daisy got me a bowl of rice and asked worriedly, âShall we call the police?â
I shook my head and kept chewing, âNo!â
I knew they were equally powerful. But it killed neither.
About half an hour later, the noise stopped. Then I heard the sound of engine. A few minutes later, Dennis came in.
My belly felt like being stuffed after meal. I could tell my belly bulged even larger. So I assumed I should go for a prenatal care tomorrow.
