Love You Can’t Say

I frowned, “I could offer you a sense of belonging?”

Silent, he just stared at me.

I also remained silent as I got confused.

It only took me an hour on the train from Hensley Town to Newton Town. Leo managed to sit next to me, but speechless. He looked out of the window to enjoy the scenery outside just as I did all the way through.

“Dear passengers, we are arriving in Newton Town…” the speaker in the station sounded as the train stopped.

I stood up to get my suitcase on the shelf above my head. Before I could reach it, two fair hands did it for me.

It wasn’t too heavy as it was filled with clothes only. But for me, it was gonna take me some efforts.

Leo was much taller than me. I raised my head to look at him and reached out my hand to get my suitcase back, “Thank you.”

He grabbed the handlebar of my suitcase with one hand and stopped me by grabbing my hand with the other. I frowned and tried to pull my hand off from his grip out of instinct.

But he actually exerted more strength on his grip, “It’s too crowded here.”

I frowned still, “I know. But let go of my hand!”

He simply ignored my request. I tried hard but failed as he grabbed my hand hard. People around walked out of the train one by one and we followed out with the crowd.

Then I heard someone murmuring, “Wow, that guy looks hot!”

“Hey, stop it. Don’t you see his wife? And she has got pregnant!”

“Ah, what a pity! I am so jealous of his wife!”

…

Leo looked at me with a complacent smile.

But I ignored him and followed the crowd with my head slightly down.

It was indeed crowded around the exit. Leo carefully guarded me because I was pregnant. Fortunately, there weren’t too many people crowding around me.

Leo made a call as we walked out of the station. Then he led me to the roadside.

I said impatiently, “We have walked out of the crowd! Let me go! I can hail a taxi myself.”

He lowered his head to take a casual look at me, “I have made my chauffeur here to pick us up. Let me send you home.”

“No!” I used the other hand to force apart his grip.

But he still grabbed hard and insisted, “Behave yourself. The stock price of the George Group has been plummeting for a few days. Though it didn’t last for long, there were still investors who had gone broke. You have just resigned from the group. I am afraid there will be broke investors planning to retaliate against you.”

“Don’t bluffing! The fall of the stock price has only lasted for a week. There won’t be so many broke investors!” though I had no experience in stock market, I still had some knowledge about the common sense within.

He cast a glimpse at me as if I were a fool.

Then a black Bentley stopped in our front. Before I could utter, he handed my suitcase to a man in black who got off the car. Then he led me into the car.

Though I could easily hail a taxi outside the station, I deemed it inappropriate to refuse since the car had arrived. So I simply kept silent and got into the car.

Leo sat beside me and said to the chauffeur, “Take us to NY Restaurant.”

I frowned, “If you don’t send me home, I would like to take a taxi.”

While saying that, I was about to get off the car. But Leo stopped me, “It’s at noon. Even if you wanna starve yourself, think about your baby.”

I paused and said, “I can have lunch in T Villa. Nanny Daisy will cook for me.”

He sneered, “I don’t think you will have appetite for lunch as soon as you return. After all, Dennis has been in the hospital for more than half a month, during which you did nothing to show your care. Are you sure as your husband, he could simply put up with your indifference?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

While speaking, he approached in an intimate way.

I nudged a bit away to keep distance. I huffed with disdain, “But you will ruin my appetite.”

“You can turn a blind eye on me.” While speaking, he looked out of the window with a proud and domineering smile.

I turned to look at where he fixed his eyes. Then I saw a black jeep in short distance, while the window of which was lowered down.

It was Dennis, the one whom I hadn’t met during the past 15 days! He looked a bit haggard. But his charm remained. He fixed his dark eyes on us.

I couldn’t tell his feelings hidden within.

I tried to push Leo away instinctively, who got closer to me intimately. However, he actually wrapped around my shoulder and brought me into his arms with a smile.

Then he let out his provocative smile at Dennis and said to the chauffeur, “Drive!”

The window was closed as the chauffeur drove far. I pushed Leo away, gasping madly.

“Leo, are you crazy?” I knew he meant to irritate Dennis.

He let go of me and leaned against the seat, saying casually, “Yeah.”

I was rendered speechless. I got so mad that I wanna tear him apart. But my madness only ended up in a furious glimpse at him. Then I turned to look out of the window, unspoken.

The car reached the building of the restaurant and we got off. As Leo had made a reservation and ordered dishes beforehand, a waiter came to serve food as soon as we sat down.

The madness smashed my appetite. Leo elegantly took a few bites and saw me stop eating.

He raised his brows, looking lazy, “It doesn’t fit your appetite?”

I seemed to feel that he was different from who he was five years ago. But what exactly he had changed I couldn’t tell.

I shook my head, “I am not hungry.”

He pouted and looked at me with his jaw resting upon his hand, “Pregnant lady should be hungry for food, right?”

“You are right.” I took a few more bites, but I found it hard to fudge, “Perhaps it’s because I still haven’t felt hunger.”

He nodded and stared at me with his clear eyes. This time he looked softer, “When did you fall in love with Dennis?”

I didn’t want to talk about this topic. Nor did I want to talk to him about it. I couldn’t help frowning, “Leo, it’s my privacy!”

“But you are my sister.” He said softly. But it sounded a bit tough.

I sneered, “But you know you were actually adopted.”

He nodded, “Yeah.”

He didn’t seem to care.

I put down the fork and said, “I am stuffed. I gotta go before it’s getting late.”

He stood up as I did, “Let me send you home.”

If he could be described as a horrible evil before, now he made me feel like he was insistently pestering.

The car was driving into the broad T Villas area, where there were birds foraging for food among trees on both sides of the road in this summer day.

Both of us remained unspoken.

The car parked outside my villa. He looked at me, “Aren’t you going to invite me in for a cup of coffee?”

“No!” I huffed and got off the car.

He followed behind and grabbed my arm, “Even if you deny, the fact that I am your brother still remains! As your brother, I have the duty to meet the one who married you. Clara, you can’t deny that I am your only family in the world even though I am your nominal brother. You have no one else to rely on except for me.”

His words pierced my heart just like a sharp dagger. I couldn’t breathe out of great pain. But I managed to hold it back while looking at him, “Leo, don’t force me to feel what you have felt. It’s you who has no family and no friends. You can’t decide that I am alone just because you are!”

I knew he had been lonely but I had never said so in front of him. However, as I was triggered to bring up this topic, I had to go on. I continued while looking at his sulky face, “At that time, I had grandma and now I have my husband and my baby and also Diana. Unlike you, I am not alone. So that’s why no one wanna get close to you.”
