The Love Book

Phoebe Barnes felt even more embarrassed, and looked down and pulled the corners of her lips to keep quiet.

“Yes, but that was seven years ago.” King Pei, as if reminiscing, still said carelessly, “Young and vigorous, people do not waste their youth, let alone his young master Fu.”

Phoebe Barnes’ small hands clenched and her face stiffened slightly as she reluctantly opened her mouth and asked, “So where did she … go?”

If she was over here, there is no way she would not have visited him in the past two years.

“Dead!” King Pei said in a bland, matter-of-fact tone, “There was a fire at the orphanage seven years ago, and Kemp watched the body being carried out, and has never once mentioned the woman since.”

“Dead …” Phoebe Barnes eyes flickered with a somewhat complicated look, the dead are often more memorable than the living, let alone the woman he Kemp Ross loved.

King Pei looked at her and wrinkled his eyebrows, some want to say, do not know whether to tell her, but think it is more appropriate to Kemp Ross to say.

Two seconds of slight silence and a knock on the door.

“Come in!”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

With King Pei’s words, Phoebe Barnes also hurriedly collected herself and stood up.

The door was pushed open and Kemp Ross and Ross senior, along with two attendants, walked in.

As soon as Kemp Ross saw her, he narrowed his dark eyes, but didn’t move his voice.

“Phoebe, what are you doing here so early?” Old Mr. Ross put on a warm smile as soon as he saw Phoebe Barnes.

Phoebe Barnes slightly owed up to assist him and smiled good-naturedly, “I was at a friend’s place last night and it was closer to the hospital, so I came straight here.”

Although it was addressed to the old man, the implication was explained to Kemp Ross.

The man’s dark eyes coldened some.

“What friends? You didn’t go back to the Bi Shui Yun Residence last night?” The old man is not stupid, he heard something at once, twisted his head and looked at her with a smile, not meaning to blame.

The smile on Phoebe Barnes’ face Rong stiffened for a moment, then frankly explained, “Last night the company had something, too late, I rested at my girlfriend’s place for the night, she is my college roommate, a very good relationship.”

King Pei, with his hands in the pockets of his white coat, raised a silent eyebrow at his words.

It seems to recall that phone call last night.

Kemp Ross wrinkled his eyebrows, seems not interested in listening to these, raised his hand to look at the watch, faintly out, “Grandpa, I still have to go to the company, check first.”

He then coldly swept a glance at King Pei.

Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips and stopped talking.

But Ross senior hadn’t seen the two together for a while, and didn’t seem to intend to end the conversation so quickly, turning to glare at Kemp Ross, smiling again and shaking Phoebe Barnes’ hand, saying affectionately, “You’ll have a good health check-up later, too.”

Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips and smiled happily, “Grandpa, I’m in good health.”

“What health? You see how thin you’ve been lately? Go back and let Kemp give you more tonic.” The old man said, looked at Kemp Ross, face serious a few points, said: “Today you two are here, then I also put the words clearly, the child matter you should think about it, I am old, just so little hope, if you heart me, then comply with my heart’s desire.”

Phoebe Barnes’ face changed and her eyes subconsciously looked at Kemp Ross.

The child … that child just lost, he will still want to have again?

The man did frown, his expression seemed to change little, but Phoebe Barnes still felt the steep deepening of the coldness.

His cold sight swept the woman, tilting his lips faintly out, “Grandpa, this you do not ask me, the child is not born to me, someone does not want, even if the pregnancy is not necessarily born.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes’ face went white for a moment, the coldness in her body deepened, and an extreme embarrassment surrounded her in front of so many people.

She really didn’t expect that he would show her so little mercy.

Old Mr. Ross froze slightly, his suspicious gaze instantly looking at her, his tone taking on an extra hint of something, “Phoebe, you, you don’t want children now?”

Phoebe Barnes bowed her head and bit her lip, not knowing for a moment how to speak, but the silence looked like a silent answer to Ross old.

The old man’s face showed a slight hint of discomfort, seemingly somewhat disappointed in her.

King Pei, who was watching the show next to her, seemed to be a bit intolerant and smiled as he spoke up to relieve her, “Master, this is not something you can decide, we still have to see the test results to see if she is fit to be pregnant in the near future, after all, her body is still a bit different from normal people.”

The old man also seems to have remembered something at once, after all, if her body really can not get pregnant, it is also related to him, even if disappointed can not blame her.

The face is a bit distressed, afraid of her hard feelings, and quickly comforted: “It’s okay, it’s okay, you’re still young, you will be able to conceive later. Grandpa is not in a hurry.”

Phoebe Barnes gave King Pei a grateful look, then turned to the old man and said, “Thank you, Grandpa, I’ll take good care of myself.”

Kemp Ross face but in a flash cold down, looking at Phoebe Barnes’s eyes like a thin cold blade, cold and sharp.

He underestimated her again, flipping the tables with ease.

After a moment of silence, he spoke out icily to his attendant and ordered, “Take the old man and the wife to be examined.”

“Yes.”

Phoebe Barnes held Ross old, until walking out, and did not look up at the man, dropping her eyes to hide all the hurt expression.

After the two men left, Kemp Ross kicked the door shut and looked at King Pei with a cold face and an icy mocking tone, “You two have become soulmates in this short while?”

King Pei threw him a blank stare and laughed with contempt, “I said can you not always be so mean to a gentleman’s heart? You are so happy when a woman is bullied by you in such a pitiful way?”

Kemp Ross put one hand in his pants pocket, his handsome deep features smiled morosely, “You pity her so much, do you plan to marry her or do you plan to green me?”

“…”

King Pei stroked his chin, the corners of his lips pulled deeper, seemingly some gloating, “Even if you were green, that is what you owe her, if you regret it now, straight divorce is not it? You know that the child was accidentally aborted before, now deliberately take this matter to make her embarrassed, really is not a man should do.”

Kemp Ross looked at him with deeper eyes and a lower tone, “If she didn’t want the baby she could have aborted it in a million ways, are you so dumbed down by her that you forgot you were a doctor?”

“…”

King Pei spread his hands and said helplessly, “I said, who told you to owe her, she is an entertainer, her career is just starting, you let her go back to have a baby, isn’t that the same as quitting the entertainment industry? Any woman who is a little motivated would not choose that.”

“Upwardly mobile?” Kemp Ross looked at him with a smirk, “You’re pretty good at defending her, if I divorce her, you and Wind Rong are both going to pick up the slack?”

“…”
