Taking his hand, I said seriously, “Dennis, we have grown up. We all know what we want, and I don’t want Leo to feel regret.”
He didn’t say anything but looked at me. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking about.
I thought he was angry at me, “Dennis, you cannot be so stingy.”
Dennis smiled and looked at me, “What should I do to not be considered stingy?"
Hearing that, I knew he was playing a joke on me. So I glared at him angrily and stopped to talk to him anymore.
I was about to leave when he made me sit on his lap. Circling me in his arms, he said with a smile, “They can take care of themselves. Can we focus on our own lives?”
I sighed. Actually, I thought so, but Leo is my family.
“Karina is really a good girl.” I said, “Leo might miss her.”
Dennis put his head on my shoulder, “So what can you do?”
“Uncle Link might be able to make Leo marry Karina.” I said. After all, Leo was pretty respect of him.
Dennis looked at me and said, “Have you ever investigated Karina?”
I frowned, feeling a little puzzled, “Uncle Link is not a person who values gentry. Even if Karina was born humble, he won’t mind. If he does, I would not be accepted.”
Dennis said, “Link doesn’t care too much about your social state, but your background. You are my wife and daughter of the Lewis family. Besides, you graduate from a normal university. All those made it okay to accept you for Link. However, it might doesn’t work for Karina.”
I frowned, “Karina is a pregnant woman. Uncle Link can accept her although she doesn’t have a good background of education and family.”
He smiled, “Clara, nothing is as easy as we think.”
Clariana ran over and asked Dennis to play with her. Dennis could not refuse her, so he left with her.
Sitting on the chair, I was wondering the background of Karina.
At the door of villa in the evening, Leo looked at me and said, “Now that you have returned, you’d better take Clariana to live in the Kennedy Residence. After all, you have divorced. Gossip might appear if you live together for a long time.”
I knew he was unwilling to see me and Dennis being together in such an unknown way.
Dennis didn’t say anything, but politely saw them off.
Clariana was so tired that she fell asleep in the living room. After all, she had played all day long.
I was squeezed between the door frame and his chest. "I didn't sign the divorce papers four years ago, so legally we are still husband and wife. It is surely okay for a married couple to live together." he said.
Seeing his facial expression, I could not help but laughed.
“It’s okay, so I’m here.” I said.
He gave me a warm smile. Maybe he wouldn’t be able to control himself if Clariana didn’t woke up at that moment.
The autumn of City P changes a lot.
On a Tuesday, I was a little bored after reviewing for a few days.
Therefore, I prepared some fruit, changed my clothes and went to Clariana’s kindergarten. I was intended to give her some fruit, but I wasn’t allowed to enter. So I went to the George Group to give it to Dennis.
Standing in the hall, I forgot to move for a moment, “Are you in a meeting?”
It was thundering again. “Well, yes.” he said, “I’ll be home in fifteen minutes.”
He remembered that I was afraid of thunder. However, I was used to it during the four years’ time in HL Area. Although I was still a little afraid of it, I can handle.
Hearing his rushed breath, I said, “It’s okay for me, you...”
Just as I was talking, he had appeared. Walking out of the president’s staircase, he was in a fast pace. Unlike the elegant man previously, he was in a hurry so his forehead was covered in sweat.
The handsome man was particularly conspicuous in the crows.
Hanging up the phone, I ran toward him and jumped into his arms, “I’m okay. I’m not afraid of thundering.”
Although I wasn’t afraid of thundering years ago, I was pretty moved seeing him worrying about me.
My sudden appearance surprised him, so he hugged me tightly.
After calming down, I was a little embarrassed. It was the hall of the George Group.
Too striking!
Noticing others looking at us, I looked up at him, kind of embarrassed, “I was too bored at home alone, so I brought you some fruit.”
Raising his hand to smooth the hair on my forehead to my ear, he smiled, “Well, let’s go to my office.”
I went to the elevator with him. Employees here would have something new to discuss.
