Chapter 361
Let Love Takes Away All This Pain
Chapter 361: Donât Push Me The screen shows three missed calls and an unread text message.
I donât know who made the call, and I didnât read the text but it showed a number and something.
âAlva, pick up the phone, donât make meâ¦â¦.â
I canât see the rest of it.
You have to unlock it to see it.
But Alva didnât want to see the rest of it.
After she unlocked it, she deleted the text message and blacklisted the number.
She said, listen to Jackson.
She does what she says she will.
All right, Alva, put the phone away and get to work.
She was busy and didnât have that much energy to think about anything else.
Candice called Alva twice and when Alva didnât pick up she sent Alva a text.
Sheâs gonna put her on the phone.
Threats, intimidation.
She just wants her to answer the phone.
But instead of Alvaâs call, she waited for Jacksonâs.
âCandice, stop calling Alva. She wonât take your calls.â
Candiceâs face changed.
âSheâs smart enough to know who to turn to.â
âSheâs not smart, she should be. Iâm her husband. Iâm her support.â
Candice had a smile on her face, but it was all sarcasm.
âJackson, how much do you like Alva?â
Do not care about what you like?
âNot like, love.â
âJust like Candice loved her uncle.â
Candiceâs face sank.
âCandice,â Jackson continued, âyouâre an elder I respect. Iâm asking you, donât push me.â
This time his tone was stronger than usual.
How can Candice not hear that.
She was completely cold.
The corners of his mouth also drew a cold smile.
âJackson, I wonât make you, but youâll regret it.â
âYouâre definitely going to regret what you said to me today.â
âI donât regret it.â
Candice hollered and hung up.
She had thought she was going to get Alva to promise to marry Jackson on Uriah day anyway.
But after hearing Jacksonâs words, she decided not to do it.
Sheâs gonna make Jackson regret it.
Show him how stupid he is!
Jackson hung up the phone and dialed another number.
âHowâs the house search going?â
âJust found a set, would you like to come and have a look?â
âGood.â said Hermione.
Washington.
Heyday Group building, conference room.
Serious atmosphere, mobile phone whine vibration sound.
Everyone in the conference room looked towards the sound.
Sit in front of the person in the first place.
Then, after a second, look away.
Uriah picked up the phone and saw the names bouncing across the screen. His eyes twitched and he turned the phone off vibrate to silent.
Then, looking down at all the heads bowed, âGo on.â
An hour later, the meeting was over, and Uriah returned to the executive room.
He picked up his phone, clicked on the missed call, and dialed it.
After three beeps, the phone went through.
Uriah looked up at the vista out the French window. âGrandpa.â
âSince weâre back in Washington, letâs come back for dinner tonight.â
âHMM.â
Night covers the light of day, and the city lights up.
Uriah came out of the Heyday Group, got in the car, and âwent to the Irwin Family.â
âOk, Boss Irwin.â
Half an hour later, the car drove through the carved iron gate and stopped outside the intricately carved gate.
The driver opened the door and Uriah got out and walked in.
The servant saw him and bent down, âSir.â
âHMM.â
Uriah went into the living room.
The speaker in the drawing-room suddenly looked over.
Flora, Candice, Bella.
Zack.
With one look, Zack looked away and picked up his cup of coffee.
Flora quickly pulls back and picks up her phone to check the time.
Candice looked at Uriah for a few seconds before she looked away.
Bella looked straight at Uriah without blinking.
Uriah, if Pops hadnât called you today, you wouldnât be here.
Without looking at Bella, Uriah walked over and stopped in front of Zack. âGrandpa.â
Zack put down his glass and looked at him. âHMM.â
The old man could see neither good nor bad, but his face was serious.
Uriah sat down.
Just not in the same position as before.
In the old days, Uriah would have sat next to Bella.
But tonight, Uriah sits next to Flora.
Candice and Bella sat opposite.
Zack sat at the top.
As soon as I sat in this position, I could see that it was wrong.
Bellaâs face changed.
Candice gave a sneer.
Flora was stunned.
Isnât Uriah supposed to sit with Bella?
Why are you sitting with her?
Flora looks at Bella, who is still looking pale and sees that the two are Wrong.
There seems to be a conflict.
Whatâs going on here?
Arenât you getting married soon?
Flora, confused but silent, looks to Candice, then to Zack, and picks up her coffee.
The atmosphere is not good.
The servant came with a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Uriah.
Stood up and finally spoke.
âHow are the wedding preparations going?â
