Chapter 18 Curse
‘What?” Marcus frowned and looked over. “Maybe you made a mistake.”
Laura said “Oh”, pretending to be serious, “Well, I’ll take it you don’t know.”
There was no excuse for Marcus continue to play. He laughed and said indulgently, “Well, I admit that the people were assigned by me.”
Laura raised her eyebrows as if surprised by Marcus’s honesty.
“I’m afraid you’ll be bullied and have no one to back you up.” Marcus smiled. At first, he did. But now, it’s seemed that he overthought it. It’s impossible for Laura to be bullied.
“Thanks.”
Marcus smiled and didn’t talk more about it. He just looked at Laura with appreciation. “I was overly concerned. You’re perfectly capable of handling all of this.”
“Anyway, thank you for your kindness.” Laura rummaged her bag for something.
“Last time I went back, I refilled some pills for you. After you finish the previous one, try this. Laura pulled out a small bottle and handed it to Marcus.
William couldn’t help but look at Laura a few times from the rearview mirror. Her tone was too casual like the words of a doctor in an unlicensed clinic. If Marcus hadn’t insisted, he wouldn’t have let him eat it.
“Thanks a lot.” Marcus took the medicine. He clasped it into his palm and slowly rubbed it up.
“Yes, thank you for driving me home.” Laura said goodbye to Marcus. She got out of the car and walked forward without looking back. Marcus had never seen anyone as free as her.
He squinted and unconsciously clenched his fists. The temperature from the palm of his hand gave him a surreal feeling. Marcus began to waver that he shouldn’t have let Laura get involve in his family troubles.
“Mr. Brown… should we go?” William didn’t drive the car before Marcus answered. He only dared to ask the question tentatively.
Marcus nodded.
…
“How dare you come back?” As Laura entered the door, she heard Lily’s high-pitched voice, which brought her frown of displeasure.
“You are a curse. I don’t know what kind of sin we’ve made by bringing you back! You are so vicious! Will you die if you don’t mess with us?” Mrs. Taylor was cursing away. She’s got her hands full out there and she had just arrived. She was so angry that she wanted to vent it all out to Laura.
The more Mrs. Taylor cursed, the more she went overboard. Laura frowned and glanced at her, and she immediately dared not speak out. Mrs. Taylor was so upset that the words she was about to say got caught in her throat. She did not say anything until Laura disappeared around the corner of the stairs.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
‘What the hell!” Mrs. Taylor was extremely annoyed, but she didn’t dare to confront Laura. She called Bob again, exaggerating that the incident with Jones was a big deal. Hearing this, Bob dropped what he was doing and hurried back. And promised to stand by Mrs. Taylor and Lily.
