Love You Can’t Say

It took us only an hour on the train.

As we walked out of the railway station, Diana hailed a taxi and we headed to our accommodation, which was located in a newly constructed community.

It was a house of medium size with well-designed but not fancy decoration, which perfectly accommodated both of us.

“Let’s hang out to get something to eat a while later. After that, let’s get back here to rest and leave our next hang-out tomorrow.” Leaning against the doorframe of my room, Diana suggested as she finished cleaning up her own room.

I nodded, “So what shall we have for food today?”

“I am asking for your favor.” She took a look at my belly, “I suggest we should take some plain food.”

I knew she was concerned with my pregnancy. So I said, “I prefer some spicy food. It has been a long time since I enjoyed something spicy last time. Besides, now I am five months pregnant. That should be alright for me.”

Her brows furrowed, “Are you sure?”

I nodded, “Absolutely!”

“Okay!”

As Hensley Town was somewhere strange to me, I simply followed Diana to wherever she led me to. There was a mall near the community, on the third floor of which there located a variety of restaurants. Diana had been strayed away from restaurants’ dishes for so long. So she seemed to be crazy about having a nice meal here.

She led me to walk around for quite a while. She would probably spend a whole day walking around here if it weren’t because of her concern with my pregnancy.

Then we entered a restaurant specializing in fish dishes. After ordering the food, she sighed with her jaw resting upon her palm, “I was really starving while walking around just now. But after making the order, I felt like my appetite has run away.”

I noticed that she might be about two months pregnant. So I asked while looking at her, “Have you felt vomiting sickness of pregnancy?”

She shook her head, “No. I am fine except for the lack of appetite.”

As I knew the symptoms varied from person to person, I nodded, “Just get yourself prepared and stay in Hensley Town for the rest days of your pregnancy. You’d better take care during your second and third month of pregnancy. Besides, it’s time to prepare something for the baby. Just tell me if you need anything.”

She nodded with a smile, “I have been fully prepared. I have even registered for my membership in a confinement service center for my post-delivery. But unlike Newton Town, I didn’t have many choices here. So I chose the closest one to our accommodation.”

I never worried as Diana always took care of herself better than I did. I took out a credit card from my clutch. I put it in her front, “Keep it. It was offered by Mr. Freddy George when I married Dennis. I haven’t used it yet. You can keep it in case you may be in need for money as you will stay here alone.”

She frowned and pushed it back to me, “Keep it for yourself. I don’t need that. I have bought the house that accommodates us here with the money I kept during these years. Besides, Dennis offered me a big sum of money for the transfer of the bar, which was twice as much as the market price. And I haven’t even spent a penny of it. So I can make that money for my emergency back-up. Don’t worry about me. Just keep it yourself.”

I pushed the card to her front again, simply ignoring what she said. I huffed seriously, “Just take it no matter if you need it. I have been nicely paid while working for the George Group during the two years. And I have kept almost every single penny of my pay intact. Besides, I still have the property inherited by my grandma. Since I haven’t divorced Dennis yet, I don’t think he will be mean to me. Even if after divorce, I can still get a huge share from it. I will be less worried if it’s you who keep the card for me.”

Hearing that, Diana didn’t feel like turning down again as she failed to convince me. So she took the card and looked at me, “Okay, tell me if you are in need. Don’t try to struggle on your own alone.”

Then a waiter served as the dishes. I nudged myself a bit to spare more space for the waiter. Then I said to her, “Alright, I know.”

We had been chatting during the meal. Soon, hours had passed.

As it had been hours, she rubbed against her own belly and looked at me, “Let’s go to get some coffee then. And after that, let’s hang around some fashion shops. I really fancy doing some shopping as it has been long since I shopped last time.”

I paid the bill and then we headed to the fashion precinct.

“Clara, what lipstick do you…” before she finished, she suddenly froze still. Panic seemed to fill her face.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I looked at the direction where she fixed her eyes. Then I saw Leo not far away, who dressed casually. His body shape looked tall straight and his face gentle, making him more charming than most of those male stars.

If it weren’t because of the fact that a lady with perfect look and excellent bearing was standing right next to him, he would have been surrounded with ladies.

But what brought him to Hensley Town?

That lady by his side was in a slinky dress. She looked enchanting but not coquettish. They looked like perfect match while she was holding his arm and walking among the crowd.

It seemed that Leo was here to hang out with her. I grabbed Diana’s hand out of instinct and turned around with my back on them. I said, “Let’s get back.”

Diana also lost her desire for shopping. She nodded, “Let’s go.”

I thought they hadn’t noticed us. However, as both of us took a few steps away, a strong man in black suit suddenly stood in our front.

As he was wearing a pair of sunglasses, I couldn’t tell what was his expression. He said, “Ladies, Mr. Kennedy is expecting you.”

“Clara!” Diana grabbed my hand hard because of nervousness.

I gently patted on the back of her hand to comfort her, “It’s okay.” I said to that man, “Sorry, it’s getting late. Please tell him that we would like to visit him another day.”

I was about to leave with Diana. But he stopped us again, “Miss Kennedy, he told me that he would like to drop by in your house tonight if you refuse now.”

“Tell him! Don’t push us if he wants no troubles!” Diana suddenly raised up her voice. She looked mad while grabbing my hands.

He still insisted coldly, “Ladies. Please. Or I don’t mind carrying both of you on my shoulders with force.”

“You…” Diana was getting madder.

I stopped her and said to the man, “Lead us the way.”

I knew it would cost a lot to resist once Leo made up his mind.

The man led us out of the mall. We walked down a street and entered a café.

As we went upstairs to the door of a box, the man said, “Mr. Kennedy is expecting you inside.”

Diana and I looked at each other and entered one after another. The box in a café differed from that in a restaurant. It looked more refined. I could even hear the conversation inside through the gauze drape.

“Leo, it has been a long time since you came here to see me. I was wondering if you had forgotten about me.” A female voice sounded. Though she was trying to seduce him, her voice still sounded nice.

Diana and I walked pass the drape to enter. Then I saw Leo and a lady sitting beside an octangle table made of sandalwood.

That lady was wearing a dress pictured with green leaves. It even highlighted her nice-curved body. She looked elegant while smoothly making tea.

I was stunned.

Making tea in a café?

How strange!

Leo raised his brows when seeing Diana and me, whose saturnine face was then covered by a confusing expression, “Ladies, long time no see!”

Diana looked frightened instinctively. But she still glared at him out of great hatred against him, “Leo, what do you want from us?”
