Chapter 323 Betrayed?
Just when Delia Field was half puzzled and half cold, she suddenly heard a woman’s voice coming from the other side of the phone, and with her keen sense of hearing, she could hear that the woman was now close to Moore Howard, almost embracing each other tightly.
Maybe that woman was now lying on Moore Howard’s body, pampering him.
Moore Howard’s reaction was also quick, after realizing that the woman’s voice reached Delia Field’s ears, he immediately hung up the phone.
So what if he hung up, Delia Field had already heard it – Moore Howard was with a woman right now, maybe the two of them were in the middle of a fling and were upset that she had interrupted them with this call.
She thought so, but after a while, she denied herself, she believed that Moore Howard was not that kind of person, he promised that he would love only her.
Had he forgotten so quickly?
Her body felt like it had been drained of its strength by the phone call, and she was so limp that she almost couldn’t stand up, Delia Field held on to the railing just in time and slowly sat down, right on the steps of the escape staircase, alone and sobbing.
It was a good thing no one was walking around here, or there would have been a lot of speculation in the press again if she had been seen in this sorry state.
She tried to control her tears, too, to be strong and confident as she usually was, but Moore Howard’s presence disrupted all her positions.
She stripped away her outer wrappings in front of him, revealing her true self for him to admire.
Thousands of lingering, almost sweetening words of love whispered in his ear, and promises made for a lifetime.
Delia Field confidently assumes that since they’ve worked so hard to get to this point, Moore Howard should be as loyal to her as she is to him, but the heart is a hard place.
If only she could be as heartless as Moore Howard, she’d be drowning in York Charlie’s warm, generous embrace.
Delia Field used up her entire pack of handkerchiefs and still couldn’t stop her tears, so she finally just wiped them away with her hands.
After she calmed down, she decided she’d better check in with Moore Howard herself.
She was going to give him a chance – maybe there was some kind of misunderstanding.
With that thought, Delia Field’s tears finally stopped.
In order not to reveal her identity, she quickly left the hospital.
Delia Field stopped a taxi on the side of the road, she planned to go to Moore Howard now to ask for a statement, but just then, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Delia Field thought it was Moore Howard calling, but it wasn’t, it was her father calling.
She sniffled and pressed the answer button, “Dad, what can I do for you?”
“You need to come to my office.” Lynel Field stated the reason for her visit succinctly.
“You mean for me to go to the office right away?”
“That’s right, York is here for you too, don’t keep us waiting.” Lynel Field hung up after saying what he wanted to say, but Delia Field was still out of the situation, “Dad, what in the world-” things were in such a hurry.
The house was falling apart, and it was at this exact moment that something happened.
Delia Field pinched her brow, she wanted to swear at anyone right now, her mood was as bad as it could get.
The thought of that woman’s voice made her heart clog up.
Even though she was on the verge of exploding with anger, Delia Field had to follow her father’s orders, and she told her driver to reroute her car in the direction of THE FIELD GROUP.
Lynel Field had called York Charlie and Delia Field into his office, not to make any major announcements, but just to discuss their wedding.
However, not only York Charlie was not in the mood, even Delia Field, who was the first one to bring up the wedding, was not interested, which made Lynel Field wonder, “Did you two have a fight?”
“No,” Delia Field snapped back, hurriedly taking York Charlie’s arm and pretending to be affectionate. “We just didn’t expect you to talk about family matters during work hours, so it just slowed us down a bit for a moment.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
York Charlie nodded back, he really didn’t like having his life get in the way of his work.
But it was only because Lynel Field was his future father-in-law and his boss that he didn’t object.
Lynel Field sat down and took a sip of hot tea, “I’m busy with work, I haven’t had time to come home for a while, and it’s the only time I’m going to be involved in discussing your marriage.”
“But Dad, what about work, York has a lot of work to do every day, with your delay, he won’t have to sleep tonight again.” Delia Field pretended to be concerned about York Charlie.
In reality, she was just not in the mood after suffering a pregnancy along with Moore Howard’s suspected cheating.
York Charlie gave her a small smile before saying, “That’s okay, that workload is nothing to me, and a lot of projects are still in the negotiation stage these days as well.”
He didn’t have that much work to do.
Looking at their loving appearance, Lynel Field was very pleased, and did not forget to tease a bit, “You guys, since you are so concerned about each other, why don’t you get married earlier, so that you can be a proper couple.”
“Dad, there’s no necessary connection between the two!” Delia Field was only joking with her father even though she talked back.
She was just no longer in the mood, but she had to cooperate with her father.
Otherwise, if she angered her father, her affair with Moore Howard might be exposed as well.
It was a discussion between the three of them, but it was really Lynel Field and Delia Field making the plans, with York Charlie sitting on the sidelines working on his tablet – he was working like a madman to make up for the damage he’d done to the company the last two times he’d been there.
When it was time for him to decide, he looked up and chose something that didn’t look too bad. So on and so forth, until someone came from outside the office, a client the chairman had an appointment with.
It was only then that this difficult half hour finally passed.
York Charlie left the office with Delia Field, they walked side by side and Delia Field apologized to him, “I’m sorry, that’s just the way my dad is, he does things arbitrarily and never thinks about other people’s feelings.”
“It’s okay, he’s just concerned about us too.”
They walked to the elevator, York Charlie had to stay and continue working, he was going to walk Delia Field downstairs but Delia Field refused.
“You’ve got a lot of work to do right, I’ll just go down alone, don’t worry about me.”
No matter what time it was, Delia Field was always so understanding, gentle and considerate.
York Charlie took advantage of the fact that no one was around and branded a kiss on her forehead before letting go of her waist, “Then go back and pay attention to your safety, you don’t look well, you should also pay more attention to resting, don’t let yourself get too tired.”
“I know la, see you at home tonight.”
“Uh-huh.”
The moment the elevator door closed, both of them coincidentally sank their faces.
York Charlie because she wasn’t used to having too much expression on her face in the first place, and Delia Field because she was too tired.
She had been wearing a mask all this time and was just too tired.
…
Delia Field comes home and does nothing but ask the maid to put away all the thin heels.
When the maid asked why, she brushed it off by saying that she had recently sprained her ankle a bit.
The only people who knew about her pregnancy were the doctor, her, and Moore Howard.
She wondered what it would take to find the time and the right reason to see Moore Howard.
