Love You Can’t Say

Mr. Bates said, “I saw a case yesterday and someone had carried it. One or two grams is enough for medical use.”

Luna quickly shook her head and said, “It won’t work. I asked Ms. George about it few days ago and she asked a friend to look for it, but there was an accident and her friend is still held in the police station.”

I was stunned before I realized that Luna was referring to me. I was then perplexed, when did Luna and I meet? When did we get intimate?This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I looked at Dennis and he was looking at Mr. Bates calmly. Mr. Bates was a worldly-wise man and he soon understood. He looked at me and said, “I didn’t expect you were this close to Mr. Thomas. May I ask the name of your friend? I’ll go back and check if there was any misunderstanding in the case.”

I was not in a hurry to answer but took the orange juice in front of me, and smiled sweetly, “Thank you, Uncle Sam, her name is Diana, who was of the same age as me, and I will propose a toast to you using the orange juice because I am pregnant. Thanks again, Uncle Sam.”

Mr. Bates giggled and looked at Luna and Dennis with a pleased smile, “This girl was honey-lipped. Come on, I’ll have a drink with her.”

Diana’s matter could be considered settled.

We were getting closer when sitting there and drinking. Mr. Bates and Luna might be a little drunk and they talked about the past.

Mr. Bates looked at me and then at Luna and said, “Luna, you have been looking for that child all these years, is there still no news?”

It was probably a painful past for Luna, she forced a smile and said, “It was without any news for more than 20 years, and I don’t know if she was still alive.”

“Aww!” Mr. Bates sighed and said, “You’ll find her.”

I ate a lot, and the servant served fish. I couldn’t stand the smell and felt nauseous, so I got up and went to the washroom. Dennis followed and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’m okay, just a little nauseous.” Morning sickness has just started, and I can handle that. I looked up at Dennis and curiously asked, “What did Mr. Thomas and Mr. Bates talk about just now? Doesn’t Mr. Thomas have only one child?”

Dennis asked me to sit on the longue in the hallway to rest. He touched my belly and said, “Mr. Thomas married Luis’s father after an unsuccessful marriage. I heard that she had a daughter before. That girl was later discarded by her ex-husband, and she has been looking for that child all these years.”

He was gently rubbing my belly while talking to me and it was rare of him being so tender, I looked at him and smiled, “Are you fond of children?”

He had always turned a blind eye to me during our two-year marriage, but since I was pregnant, he seemed to treat me differently.

If it was not love at first sight between a man and a woman, then it was love come in time. Dennis was neither, he just loved the baby. He didn’t say anything and took me back to the dining hall.

The dinner lasted for hours and when we came out of L Community, it was already dark. I was sleepy all day and fell asleep not long after I got in the car. Dennis didn’t wake me up and carried me to my bedroom when we were home.

When I woke up the next day, he was not there, but my phone kept ringing. It was Diana, I was stunned and quickly answered.

“Baby, I’m free, I’m free!” Diana sounded excited, and she was running and panting. I was a little surprised, and asked, “Is the investigation over? Are you proven innocent?”

“Yeah, the policeman said in the morning that the Heroin in my closet was not enough to convict me. It was the amount for medicine, so he released me.”

She sounded cheerful, and I was so joyful, “That’s great! You should go home and take a good rest. Let’s go out to celebrate in the evening.”

“Okay, I really want to have Japanese food, Korean food, hot pot…” She ordered a lot in one breath, and I promised with a smile, “Okay, go home and sleep, I’ll call you after work.”

“OK!”

I was in higher spirits after talking to Diana. When I was young, our teachers always told us that to be fair and just, the world was either black or white, in fact it was not. As we grew up, we found that there were gray zones in everything. Just like when we judged a person, we can’t just define him in terms of good and bad.

I got up, washed up and went downstairs. Nanny Daisy has made a table of delicious food, she smiled when she saw me, “Come and take a bite. I have made several dishes and if you like it and I will make more next time.”

I looked around, but didn’t see Dennis. I sat down looking at the table full of delicious food. I was confused and asked Nanny Daisy, ” Will it be too much for me?”

She smiled and shook her head, “Of course not, pregnant women should eat more, your husband said you eat too little.”

“Where was he?” I didn’t see him since I woke up.

“He went to the company. Someone has been calling him and urging him to go to the company.” I planned today’s work while listening to Nanny Daisy’s nagging. Considering that I have not been very lucky recently and it was not good if Marcus saw me being late again, he would definitely say some poisonous words so I was about to set off. Nanny Daisy saw that I didn’t eat much, so she packed some fruits in a lunch box in case I got hungry and I put it in the car.

Fortunately, I didn’t meet Marcus at the company. When I got off the elevator, I was grabbed by someone. Before I can see who it was, I was slapped heavily in the face.

“Pow”. The whole office went quiet, and my face was hot and painful. I barely opened my eyes after a long time, I looked at the woman in front of me who was so angry that her face was distorted. My anger was beginning to accumulate.

“Clara, you lied to me, how dare you?” Olivia said in a ghastful tone.
