Love You Can’t Say

Though Dennis barely contacted Olivia recently, I still felt bad as if being stabbed into my heart whenever I noticed something fishy about them.

“Is it because of Dennis again?” she sighed, “Clara, pregnancy would be likely to bring you emotional fluctuation. Take it easy. Perhaps it’s just that you were being too suspicious.”

She paused and added, “How about that? I will tell Alex about it so as to get you a check when he returns. Maybe he can do this favor.”

I nodded. Then the door of the bedroom was opened. It was Dennis.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I said on the phone, “Take care.”

“Okay.” She replied. She paused for seconds and said, “Don’t tell Mario where I am.”

Meanwhile, Dennis walked over to me while holding berries.

I agreed and hung up the phone.

He sat to my side and fed me a berry. His voice sound clear and soft, “Have a try.”

I didn’t wanna taste it. So I shook my head.

Seeing that I looked displeased, he didn’t insist. He just sat by my side, silent. After quite a while, he went to get some files from the study and started to browse them.

I had nothing else to do either. So I got myself a book to read.

Diana seemed to notice Alex as soon as we finished our talk. When I got the call from Alex, I was getting really sleepy in the midst of reading. The ringtone of my phone suddenly pulled me back to soberness.

Dennis, who was focusing on the files, suddenly looked at me when hearing my phone ring. Then he continued with the files.

I picked up the phone and went to the balcony.

“Alex?”

“Damn, if it weren’t because of the call from Diana, I would have assumed that you were dead!” As always, he still appeared to be talkative.

I simply ignored his joking tone and asked, “You are still oversea?”

Alex was my classmate in college. He studied abroad and majored in psychology after graduation from college. As aloof as I had always been, I seldom kept in touch with my friends in college after graduation.

He started to gab, “Well, where are you? Still in Newton Town? By the way, are you still feeling good?”

I frowned and tried to avoid the topic, “I am fine. So when will you be back?”

“About a few months later.” He seemed to be drinking water. After a few seconds of pause, he continued, “You can go to Country M if you have time. Diana told me something about you. I might be in depression, I reckoned as you got the same symptoms happening before. Come to Country M and let’s have a talk.”

I massaged between my eyebrows as it ached a bit, “Okay.”

“Clara, take it serious! Depression may kill you!”

I knew he said so out of concern. So I nodded, “Alright, I know.”

I noticed that Dennis had dropped the files he was holding. So I ended the topic in advance, “I gotta go. Good night.”

“Damn, good night my ass! It’s still daytime here!”

Before he continued, I hung up the phone.

Dennis walked to me. Then I hurried to put away my phone. I looked at him, emotionless, “You have finished your work?”

He nodded, reached out his long arms and hugged me. He gently kissed on my forehead and said with low and husky voice, “Do you wanna go for a trip in City P?”

“City P?” I paused, looking curious, “What happens there?”

He led me to sit on the bed and stroked my belly with his big hand, “I plan to move the headquarter there. City P is the capital of the country, the top metropolis of both national culture and economy. If I need the George Group to grow, City P would be a nice location.”

I frowned. After all, it was a vital decision involving the most fundamental factor.

“The George Group has been doing well in Newton Town for so many years. I am afraid the business would be hard to grow if such a sudden move takes place.”

He rested his jaw upon my shoulder and nodded, “Yeah, but I have set a branch over there. So it won’t be that hard, I suppose.”

I nodded, unspoken.

After sitting for a while, I started to feel a bit sleepy. Soon I fell asleep while leaning on his body.

After a two days’ rest in the villa, I fancied taking a walk outside.

However, I had no female friends besides Diana in the city. And now she was spending her time in a village. I couldn’t even find someone to be my company.

After some consideration, I decided to go to the mall alone. After all, it was less boring than staying at home.

As I parked my car at the gate of the mall, I saw someone familiar-it was Luis, by the side of whom followed a familiar-looking girl. I recalled that she seemed to be the girl I met in the supermarket last time.

I saw them walking toward the mall, clinging intimately to each other. He seemed to go shopping with the girl, I reckoned. But his attitude looked totally different this time.

While looking at them, I could tell that he wasn’t that disdainful against this girl as he used to be last time in the supermarket. Instead, they seemed to be in intimacy.

Perhaps it was because I was gazing at them too attentively. Luis noticed me and paused while seeing me. Then he strode to me and said with joy, “Are you here for shopping? Or dating?”

I saw the girl following behind him. So I smiled, “Just take a walk.”

“Wanna get some desserts?” while he was speaking, that girl had come to his side and wrapped her arms around his sleeve. What she meant was obvious.

I shook my head, “No, thanks.”

Of course, I didn’t wanna look like a third wheel in the midst of their date.

When I was about walk away, he suddenly stopped me, “Come on, I need to talk to you.”

“Luis!” that girl seemed to be displeased. Her voice sounded a bit aggrieved, “You promised you would spend time with me today. Miss Kennedy might also fancy walking alone. So don’t disturb her.”

Luis frowned, looking impatient, “I need to have a talk with her. Just return home. I will date you another day.”

That girl was getting annoyed. She glared at him, “You promise Mrs. Knight that you will stay with me today.”

“Stop mentioning her! You are getting me annoyed!” Luis looked a bit mad, “You can go back home if you don’t wanna shop alone. I have something else to deal with. I am afraid you need to dismiss yourself!”

After saying that, he grabbed my arm and led me into the mall.

That girl rushed over to grab his sleeve with tearful eyes, “Luis, sorry, I am wrong. I won’t disturb your talk with her. When you finish, let’s continue to go shopping, okay?”

I felt a bit sorry for the pitiful girl. So I broke free from his grip and said, “We can have a talk another day. I got my own business to deal with. I am leaving now.”

It was a huge downtown mall. I headed to the precinct of baby products. As Dennis had prepared a lot for the baby, I walked around to get some little gadgets.

When I walked out of the precinct, I saw Luis, who was looking around. He said to me as soon as he saw me, “Let’s go!”

I didn’t see that girl around him. So I asked curiously, “Where is your girlfriend?”

“She is not my girlfriend!”

Whatever. I didn’t intend to ask further as I was not that clingy to curiosity.
