Chapter 39 Dennis’s Dilemma
“Clara, what are you doing later? Can I ask you for a movie with me?” I thought Luis was stirring things up by saying this.
When did we get to know each other so well?
“I’m busy!” I responded and stopped talking as well.
I was vaguely aware that Dennis was staring at me, which I automatically ignored.
Seeing that I was not in a high mood, Luis turned to say to Dennis, “Mr. George, I heard that you and Clara have a very good relationship as a couple, last time my mother wanted to ask you two to have a meal in L Community!”
Dennis said faintly, still looking indifferently, “Thanks for Mrs. Knight’s kindness.”
“Is it the fashion magnate that you mentioned to me last time?” Olivia seemed to be intrigued.
Luis immediately continued, “Does Miss Pearson know my mother too?”
Olivia’s eyes were lit up for a while, “So she’s your mother. She is the queen of fashion across Western Europe, Northern Europe and the continent, and I heard that Mrs. Knight manages two listed companies at the same time. Now she has jumped to the third place in the global rich list and is the richest woman in the world!”
Luis’s mother is Luna Knight? I’ve read about her in financial reports before, she was a typical strong woman in this era, I didn’t expect her to be Luis’s mother.
Luis and Olivia found common topics and had a great conversation. I was already bored, and now even more, I can’t wait to leave.
Finally, when the waiter finished serving the food, the two ended the conversation.
“Clara, try this one. It’s especially nutritious and tasty!” I didn’t know what’s wrong with Luis, but he suddenly picked some food for me.
For the sake of good manners, I didn’t refuse him but just slightly frowned, “I can do it myself!”
He ignored my words, but glanced at Dennis and Olivia and said enviously, “Mr. George, you’re so sweet to Olivia, you really care about her!”
Olivia put on a sweet smile and looked in a good mood. Dennis frowned slightly, and gazed at me with his black eyes.
I didn’t know what expression I should have, and I bowed my head slightly, oblivious to everything.
As long as I didn’t care about it, my heart would not hurt!Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
I took a small bite of the food Luis gave me, but before I had time to chew it, my stomach rolled violently. I covered my mouth, signaling Luis to let me out.
He froze for a moment and reacted that I wanted to throw up, so he got up and got out of the way. He said worriedly, “How can you eat fish and throw up? Are you pregnant?”
He startled me with this statement.
But I did not have time to think about it, I could only run into the bathroom and vomit. As I finally felt better, I turned around and saw Dennis standing behind me coldly.
“Clara, let me get you to the hospital!” He requested indifferently, with no emotions, but absolutely not friendly.
“No!” I bypassed him and went out of the bathroom.
All of a sudden, my hand was grabbed by him. I got a little emotional and looked back at him coldly and said, “Dennis, I told you, stay away from me!”
I paused and continued, “Also, if there’s nothing wrong with your memory, I think I told you last night that I hope we get a divorce soon, and I don’t know how you’re thinking about it!”
The color of his eyes gradually deepened, “Clara, do you know what you are doing?”
I sneered, “Of course!” I scowled at him, “You take care of Olivia meticulously while tangling with me, and do you particularly enjoy the feeling of being tangled in two women?”
His face was getting gloomier and gloomier. I knew he’s angry, but I was telling the truth, nothing but the truth. In the end, we both had to face it, didn’t we?
“What do you want from me?” After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth, and sounded helpless.
I was stunned for a while and stated, “Divorce me, and let’s go our separate ways and live each other’s lives!”
“No way!” He refused coldly.
I sneered and glowered at him, “Or you can stay away from Olivia and give her enough money to get her out of your life completely!”
“Clara, who do you think you are to come here and decide my life?” Olivia came out of nowhere and roared towards me.
I shook off Dennis’s hand and looked at her. Her face got red because of anger. I said, “For what? For Dennis is not willing to divorce me, for I am still his rightful wife, and for he can’t let go of me!”
“You…” Olivia’s face turned redder with anger and she tried to argue with me, but I wasn’t interested in getting too involved with her.
I went straight back to my seat, grabbed my bag and left.
Luis followed unhurriedly from behind me.
I stopped and looked back at him, “Something wrong?”
“I didn’t drive here today, so can you give me a ride?” He asked casually.
I squinted at him and said bluntly, “Not in the same direction!”
I then got straight into the car and started it.
“Hey, I didn’t tell you my address, how did you…”His noisy voice faded away.
Over the next few days, I had some severe reactions to morning sickness. In order to avoid Dennis, I went to YT Apartment. When Diana intended to settle in Newton Town, she and I bought two suites together in YT Apartment, one for each of us, so that we can take care of each other.
Later, after Dennis and I got married, I had been living in the villa, so I did not come here much. The good thing was that Diana had been taken care of this place, and it was very comfortable to live in.
Watching me vomit a lot, Diana poured me a cup of hot water. She gazed at me suspiciously and said seriously, “Clara, you didn’t abort the baby, did you?”
I did not want to hide it from her from the beginning, so I took a sip of hot water and nodded, “Yes!”
She paused for a few seconds, then looked at me and said, “What are you going to do?”
“I’m gonna divorce Dennis, and then go back to Hensley Town to raise my child!” I had it all planned out.
She rolled her eyes at me, “I mean this period of time. You vomit too frequently, even I can find out you’re pregnant. You work with Dennis, you think he’s an idiot and can’t find out?”
I knew what she meant but I really can’t leave now. I can’t just throw away everything and just leave!
If I didn’t take care of these things carefully, Dennis would definitely be suspicious.
After thinking about it, I gave Mario a call. Within seconds, the call was answered.
With the experience of the last time, this time I waited until Mario said hello, “Dr. Bennett, do you have any prescription to suppress or reduce pregnancy sickness?”
Diana bent down, leaned over my ear and whispered, “Who is this Dr. Bennett? Why would he help you?”
I didn’t answer her, but quietly listened to Mario’s words on the other end of the phone, “Yes, but I don’t recommend it. I will ask Chef Owen for advice tomorrow to see what kind of foods can reduce pregnancy sickness without affecting the fetus.”
“Well, thank you, Dr. Bennett!”
“Anytime!”
