My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 279 It must be Kenny Clarke.

Gloria could not get rid of him, but she did no panic.

“Get off me!” She looked into his eyes and said in a cold tone.

The beautiful eyes of Gloria could be gorgeous if she smiled but looked dangerous if she was in fury.

The boy had some strength, but he was still just a kid. Having been glared and shouted like that, his hands loosed involuntarily, and Gloria shook his hand off her quickly.

“Bitch!”

Having been infuriated rather by his own weak reaction than Gloria, the boy reached to Gloria again.

When Gloria was wondering how to get herself out of this, a big, strong man showed up from nowhere and blocked between Gloria and the boy.

Bang!

A punch was tossed right on the boy’s stomach and he was knocked down on the ground with both arms covered hie belly, moaning silently.

Gloria was astonished by the scene happening in front of her, while the man turned around to her and asked with a caring face.

“You alright, Ma’am?” It was Chinese he spoke.

And that was when Gloria took a close look at the man who helped her. He was a Chinese with a normal appearance but strong muscles.

That man could fight, and he just showed it to her.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Thank you so much, sir. My name is Gloria Taylor. May I know yours?”

Gloria was very grateful but the man hesitated before answering her.

“It’s nothing. I was just passing by. ”

And he just left like this, leaving Gloria confused, but she did not dare to stay here for too long, so she left in a hurry as well.

Maybe, he just wanted to be a nameless hero, Gloria thought.

...

Gloria went to downtown and booked a five-star hotel for three days.

Though her packages were still there, she would never go back to live in that house, and with the expected date of confinement drawing near, she needed a place near the hospital.

Soon, Gloria found an apartment whose owner was going somewhere else because of work. The owner was Chinese and asked the rented to be a Chinese, too.

Perfect location, convenient traffic, and it could be rented for both long or short term and was complete with furniture.

Gloria called the owner.

“Hey, I saw the post online...” The phone was connected and Gloria spoke with Chinese.

“Yeah, I’m renting my apartment. Look, I’m leaving tonight, so if you want to see it, I’m available right now.” The landlady cut in.

“Sure, I’m on my way.” She hung up and checked the address again before going.

The apartment was at downtown where was safe, so Gloria was not worried to meet the landlady there.

Gloria got off the cab and saw the landlady was waiting for her in front of the door. Different from the impression she left to Gloria on the phone, the landlady was a thirty-year-old woman who was soft and gentle.

“Come on in, I’ll show you the apartment. How long are you going to live?” The landlady did not even check and just spoke to Gloria after seeing her off the cab.

“I’m sorry, but it may not be a long term.” Gloria followed her in.

“Relax, darling, a short term is also acceptable.”

“That will be just great.”

They walked to the apartment soon, and Gloria could see the actual apartment had no differences between the photo posted online. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was way too good, Gloria thought, looking at the waist pillow on the bed.

“Is it alright?” The landlady asked after a visit.

“It’s perfect.” Gloria smiled.

“So do you want it? I could...”

“Thank you, the apartment is perfect, but it just doesn’t suit me.” Gloria opened her mouth before the landlady finished hers, and she walked out quickly then.

“What? Girl...”

Gloria kept quick steps until she was out of the apartment.

She sighed.

Nice apartment, Chinese owner, and even the waist pillows for pregnant women with big belly...

But the waist pillows...the landlady told Gloria she lived here but needed to go somewhere else now. But why did a thirty-year-old and healthy woman who had a neat figure like the landlady need waist pillows on her bed?

And she never said that she was pregnant on the phone, but the landlady did not seem to be surprised at all to see her. Not to mention that when she got there, the landlady did not even ask her if she the one who called.

The landlady knew who Gloria was and that she was pregnant.

But Gloria told no one she was looking for a new place, and how could the landlady know in advance?

Then Gloria thought of the nameless, strong man who helped her earlier.

For both times, when she needed helps, a well-meaning Chinese came and solved her problems...what were the chances?

The only reasonable explanation was that someone was watching her and fully aware of her current situation.

But who?

Except for Kenny Clarke, no one else.

Thinking of that, Gloria was caught by anxiety.

For the past few months, the name of Kenny Clarke was blocked by her mind, because Gloria assumed that man had nothing to do with her anymore.

While at this moment, she found herself being naive.

Kenny Clarke...

What did he want?

She would be caught back to Huyang City a long time ago if that was what Kenny wanted.

The baby.

Gloria had her expected date coming, and that must be the reason why Kenny had his people showed up at this timing.

“No way.” Gloria whispered.

She bit her lips tightly and was determined that she would never allow Kenny Clarke to bring her baby back to the Clarke family.
