Love You Can’t Say

Leo simply ignored her. He fixed his dark eyes on me, smiling, “Want a cup of tea?”

Diana was about to continue. I grabbed her arm to stop her. And I looked at Leo, “Okay.”

Then I beckoned Diana to sit down together. That lady in green dress placed a delicate cup in front of us, smiling attractively, “Help yourselves.”

Diana didn’t intend to care about the tea. She glared at Leo while grabbing my hand still, “Leo, tell us what you are up for!”

“May we start with the tea?” he said, looking cold.

I didn’t take the cup of tea. Instead, I said to him, “It’s getting late. Just tell me what you want. I won’t drink the tea in case the caffeine kills my sleep tonight.”

That lady wore a smile, silent.

Meanwhile, Leo also smiled, but looking mocking, “Actually, I don’t expect you to be so composed right now. You should find it hard to fall asleep at night after running away from the George Group so awkwardly, I suppose.”

Then he gazed at my belly. His voice got stronger, “You should be five months pregnant now. I assume it’s still not too late to have an abortion.”

“Leo, you crazy bastard!” Diana cursed loud. Her face was burning with both horror and hatred.

Leo frowned, displeased. He hinted at the man in black standing beside him, “She’s too noisy. Please lead her out and serve her some dessert.”

That man walked to Diana and gestured.

Diana was panic. She glared at Leo, “What are you doing?”

Leo showed no response. He just looked at me, “Behave yourself. After a simple talk, I promise I will return both of you home safe and sound. Clara, as your brother, I mean no evil. It’s just that I miss you so much.”

He took a glimpse at Diana and then said with his eyes slightly closed, “If you keep making noise, I am afraid my temper will run out of control.”

Of course, he was threatening us though in a humble tone.

I looked at Diana, who was also looking at me with a worried face. I gently patted on the back of her hands to comfort her, “I will be fine. Just get yourself some dessert. It will only take me a minute.”

“Clara…”

Before she could continue, I added to stop her, “Just go. I will be alright.”

Hearing that, she no more insisted. She cast a mad glimpse at Leo, “If you do any harm to her, I will spare no endeavor to revenge on you!”

Leo simply raised his brows, silent.

Then Diana left.

That lady in green got another cup of tea for me. She said while looking at me, “Miss Kennedy, if the tea worries you because of caffeine, you can try some black tea, which should be caffeine-free.”

“Thanks.” I smiled.

Leo took a look at her and frowned. Her unexpected suggestion seemed to annoy him a bit.

That lady smiled at me again, but silent this time.

Leo took a few sips of tea. Then he fixed his dark eyes on me, “Since you have resigned from the George Group, why don’t you divorce Dennis?”

I sneered, “Mr. Kennedy, now you fancy intervening others’ privacy?”

He raised his brows, “The concern with privacy should be unnecessary between us. Clara, you should know that I can make you a better life after you divorce him.”

“Don’t I look good now?” I could tell he must know what happened to the George Group as it did jar the whole business world. So I wasn’t surprised at it.

He put down the cup and said seriously, “Clara, I am sure you can tell that I know more about you better than you do. Stop playing tough. You are also aware that Dennis isn’t your best choice. Divorcing him should be your best option.”

“Huh,” I sneered, “Mr. Kennedy, are you kidding? Even if I have resigned from the George Group, I am still officially recognized as his wife.”

He took a sip of tea and gazed at me again. He then satirized, “Your confidence really surprises me. Before I left City P yesterday, there was a news among the upper class-Mr. Lewis and Mrs. Knight had got their daughter an excellent fiancé, whose last name should be George.”

After saying that, he sneered, “I wonder where is Dennis now.”

As I knew Leo was trying to mock me, I turned a deaf ear to what he said. Instead, I replied casually, “Mr. Kennedy, if that’s it, I am afraid I gotta go now.”

He sneered and looked at the lady in green, “Karina, tell my sister something happening in City P.”

I frowned out of impatience, “I am afraid not. I gotta go now.”

“Miss Kennedy, please be patient. Since now you are sitting here, why not spend a minute on this story?” Karina uttered, looking casual.

Actually, I was a bit surprised at her decent manner. She didn’t look like one of those who pleased men with her carnal advantages.

“May you?” said Leo while looking at me with his jaw resting upon his palm.

I kept silent to acquiesce. I didn’t mind spending a few more minutes here.

Karina smiled and refilled my cup with tea, “Mr. Kennedy and I have stayed in City P for a few days. And we did get some news about Mr. George.”

She paused and then continued, “Perhaps part of it wasn’t true. Miss Kennedy, just make it a gossiping story.”

“Thanks.” While saying, I could guess what it was mostly about.

Dennis had been in City P for more than half a month, during which I got no texts or calls from him. Even if he were in the emergency room, he would have been free to contact me during these days.

How hilarious! I still struggled and found it hard to make my final decision, not knowing why.

“The Lewis Family have been serving as high-ranking officials for three generations. So they are all renown around City P. Samuel Lewis has been known as a romantic gentleman and he has been only infatuated with Luna in his life. But Luna isn’t one of those from the upper class. So the Lewis disapproved of the relationship. Then Luna left the city alone with a pregnant belly. But unfortunately, she married a wrong guy and even her daughter had gone missing. Both of them are still entangled in this relationship during these years. But with the favor of Mr. Holmes, Luna strived to get what she has got now. She makes herself among the upper class and plus the love of Samuel, she found her missing daughter.”

While saying that, she took a look at me and then at Leo. Leo still remained silent with his eyes slightly closed.

So the lady continued, “Miss Kennedy, I suppose you also know that Olivia was their missing daughter. And now the Lewis has recognized Luna officially. Meanwhile, Olivia will also be admitted to the family. Now Olivia will soon have her name changed into Olivia. And I heard that every member of the Lewis shows great favor for her. They are going to organize a grand banquet for her. As she has been keen on playing violin, the Lewis has hired some top and renown violinists in the world to teach her.”

Hearing that, I felt like my impatience grew stronger, “Miss, what you said has nothing to do with me. I wonder what’s your purpose to say so.”

She smiled casually, “Miss Kennedy, I know you won’t care about someone who has nothing to do with you. But at least you should care about your husband.”

I sneered, “So I need to be told something about my own husband by someone else?” I sighed and continued, “I suggest both of you to save your own time. Though I still appreciate your concern with my private matters, I have to say that I have the responsibility to trust my own husband at least. And getting something irrelevant about him from someone else would be the last thing I would do.”

Leo suddenly put down the cup and it sounded loud on the table, “If you don’t care, you would not have left the George Group while bearing blames. Clara, if you do show no care about it, I suggest you divorce him for your own pride!”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
