Chapter 49: Pretending to Be Crazy
Terrence Sterling wasn’t sure whether Meredith was okay.
She hadn’t been checked.
With such a serious car accident, there must have been some bumps and bruises.
Terrence Sterling didn’t understand why Meredith refused to get checked, was she worried about spending money?
Terrence Sterling sent Harvey Fieldmouse away, finally enjoying some peace and quiet.
That night, Terrence Sterling slept quite soundly. He had the nanny change the scent in the house to mint, which had a calming effect.
The next day.
Terrence Sterling woke up and went downstairs for breakfast. He didn’t plan on going to the office today.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Terrence Sterling was wearing clothes that Meredith had bought for him today, which the nanny had washed and dried the night before.
“Mr. Sterling, the milk is heated up,” Mrs. Wooten brought the milk and asked, “Miss Woods hasn’t gotten up yet, do you want me to wake her up?”
Previously, as long as Terrence Sterling was at home, Fiona would get up early and stay by his side, but it was already past eight today and she hadn’t gotten up yet.
Mrs. Wooten didn’t know that Fiona was afraid to see Terrence Sterling and intentionally hid in her room.
Terrence Sterling also didn’t want to see Fiona, casually saying, “No need.”
Two simple words were interpreted by Mrs. Wooten as Terrence Sterling caring for Fiona and not wanting to wake her up.
Mrs. Wooten smiled and said, “So thoughtful, Mr. Sterling. Your mother must be very pleased.”
Terrence Sterling didn’t explain, nor did he care to explain anything.
After breakfast, Terrence Sterling left the house. He couldn’t drive, and it wasn’t convenient to take a driver, so he simply took a taxi to Briarcliff Lofts.
Thinking about what Harvey Fieldmouse had said, whether Meredith was really in trouble, Terrence Sterling started to worry and came here without thinking about it.
Terrence Sterling only knew that Meredith lived here, but he didn’t know which specific building.
Just as Terrence Sterling was about to call Linda to have her check, a strangely decorated car pulled up.
Who else could get out of the car besides Harvey Fieldmouse?
Harvey Fieldmouse had come to visit Meredith, immediately coming over after getting the address from Linda.
When Harvey Fieldmouse saw Terrence Sterling, he was surprised, “Terry, what are you doing here? Are you here to see Miss Florrick too?”
Would Terrence Sterling admit it?
How could he?
Terrence Sterling said expressionlessly, “I made an appointment with Carson Chay from Covenant Bank, playing golf at the golf course ahead.”
“Why are you here then? Not at the golf course? This is where Miss Florrick lives.” Harvey Fieldmouse kept asking without realizing the situation.
“… ”
“My car broke down here, I was planning to take a cab there.”
“No wonder, I didn’t see Mr. Shepard. Terry, with your injuries, it’s not safe for you to go out alone. You don’t know how many people hate you now. Those people from Uncle Mason’s house must hold a grudge against you. You better check your other cars too, Terry, the taxi is here…”
Seeing a taxi coming, Harvey Fieldmouse waved to help Terrence Sterling stop one, “Terry, get in quickly, weren’t you going to discuss business with Carson Chay.”
Terrence Sterling’s face darkened, “…”
Harvey Fieldmouse grinned and even helped open the car door, “Terry, hurry.”
Terrence Sterling walked over with a stern face and said with a hidden meaning, “Harvey Fieldmouse, you better not walk alone at night these days.”
A person like him, who invites trouble, would easily get into trouble if he walked alone at night.
Terrence Sterling wished he could put him in a sack.
“Terry, I didn’t offend Uncle Mason’s people, what do I have to be afraid of.” Harvey Fieldmouse smiled, “Terry, hurry up and get in the car.”
Terrence Sterling could only get in, otherwise admitting he came to see Meredith? That would be humiliating.
Harvey Fieldmouse kindly told the taxi driver, “Please take my friend to the golf course ahead.”
The driver started the car and quickly merged into traffic.
After the car turned at the next intersection, Terrence Sterling spoke, “Stop the car by the roadside.”
With his aura in full force, would the driver dare not to stop?
Even if he had doubts, he could only pull over to the side.
The car stopped, and Terrence Sterling got out, giving the driver a hundred dollars for the fare.
Before the driver could find change, Terrence Sterling said, “No need to look for change.”
Leaving those words behind, Terrence Sterling walked towards Meredith’s house.
He had to walk back.
To avoid running into Harvey Fieldmouse, he couldn’t get too close right now, so he just found a place nearby to sit.
Meanwhile.
Harvey Fieldmouse had already knocked on Meredith’s door.
Meredith was still cooking in the kitchen, having overslept that morning.
Hearing the noise, she went to answer the door and was surprised to see Harvey Fieldmouse, “Mr. Fieldmouse? How did you find your way here?”
“Is there anywhere I can’t find?” Harvey Fieldmouse laughed, “I heard you had an accident, so I came to visit. Oh, I met Terry at the entrance of the community just now.”
“Mr. Sterling?” Meredith was astonished, “What was he doing at the entrance of my community?”
Harvey Fieldmouse said meaningfully, “Miss Florrick, you really don’t understand Terry’s intentions? He must have come to see you, but he felt embarrassed. He lied to me about going to the golf course, so I gave him a ride and took him there.”
Meredith: “…”
