Chapter 292: The Mysterious Man 4
Leo Kennedy...
He held his forehead, feeling a little helpless, and looked at me for a while before saying, “They don't
have lobsters here. I'll go out and find lobsters for
you. Stay here and wait for me, Okay?”
He got up and left. | sat in the VIP room by myself, and my head was buzzing - How could | not care! |
was a human being after all, not a heartless
puppet.
No matter how tough | tried to act on the outside, in the end | couldn't get the thorns out in my heart -
They stung!
“What's up, Ms.Clara? You are having a good time here?” The appearance of Marcus Thomson was
quite unexpected.
He was dressed properly, and his hair was specially styled. He looked very energetic, and it seemed
that he was here for business meetings.
| pursed my lips and glanced at him with a calm expression, “Mr. Thomson, likewise.”
The possibility of business meetings during the new year holiday wasn’t high, though!
Sure enough, another person, Olivia Pearson, followed him shortly after.
It was quite a surprise. Olivia saw me, her face paled a bit, but she didn’t greet me. She just tugged at
the corner of Marcus's clothes and said,
“Marcus, the food is served - Let's go!”
Marcus took her hand and said in a warm voice, “Wait a minute!”
Marcus looked at me and said, “Ms. Clara is surely a tough woman. She has experienced such a
terrible thing, but she now can come in a restaurant
with other men and have fun chatting so calmly. It seems that Dennis is worrying for nothing.”
| frowned, suppressing my anger, “Don't you think it through before you speak, Mr. Thomson?”
Marcus sneered, “Did | hurt you? Dennis has repeatedly given in for you, and he has forgiven your bad
moods and lashing out at him. He tortured
himself with hangovers, because he was worried that you were in good health after the miscarriage. He
has always been a proud man, but he ended
up doing a sterilization for you. But now you are with another guy here in a restaurant, only a few days
after you just have cheated on him with some
random dude! Do you have any idea how shameful this would be for him if some paparazzi took photos
of you two? Do you know how many people
would be waiting to ridicule him?”
His face was gloomy and his emotions were indifferent, “Clara, do you never care about other people's
feelings when you do things? He is your
husband, but why are you treating him like he was a stranger in your marriage?”
| was shocked, and it took me a while to react. | looked at Marcus, “What did you just say?” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
He sneered, and his eyes were full of disdain, “Do you know what sterilization means to a man? He
even has given up the possibility of having his child
for you and your so-called friend’s child, isn't it ridiculous?”
My mind went blank for a few seconds, looking at him. My voice was a little hoarse, “Why?”
Marcus's eyes were dim, with a strong sense of irony, “Why? Dennis fears for you to go through the
pain and sufferings of having a baby again. He
fears that he would leave you the wrong impression that he doesn't want to take in your friend’s baby
as his own
He is always caring for you unconditionally, trying to give you everything of the best. What have you
done for him?”
I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say. I felt awful inside my heart.
Listening to what Marcus had said, Olivia couldn’t help sneering - Her voice was sad and shrill, “That’s
ridiculous, and
unbelievable.”
Marcus turned around in hindsight, saw her face pale and mouth open, “Olivia!”
Olivia looked up at Marcus, tears rolling down her cheeks, “You know what? From the day I met
Dennis, I always thought he
would be there for me for the rest of my life - I was such a ridiculous joke!”
Perhaps not wanting me to see Olivia in embarrassment, Marcus held on to her, gave me a meaningful
look, turned and took
Olivia away.
When Leo came back, he was carrying a large box of lobsters in his hand. He looked at the these two
who had just left
outside.
With gloomy eyes, he put the lobsters down on the table and looked at me, “Did they mess with you?”
I shook my head. When the waiter started serving the food, I said, “I would like these packed as take-
outs instead, please.”
Leo pursed his lips, “What’s wrong?”
“I...” I suddenly thought of what Marcus had just said - “Do you never care about other people’s feelings
when you do things?”
All of a sudden, I swallowed the words that I was about to say. I looked at Leo and said, “Should we
order some take-outs for
Uncle Link, too? Perhaps he hasn’t had dinner yet.”
Leo sat back on the seat and said, “Don’t worry about it. The helpers at home will handle it.” He then
raised his hand to signal
the waiter to go out.
He looked at me and said, “I bought you lobsters baked with garlic. Try and see if you like it.”
I nodded and opened the takeout box. It was very fragrant, but with the burden of thoughts in my mind,
I didn’t have the
appetite to eat much.
Seeing that I stopped after a few bites, Leo asked, “Do you not like the flavor of it?”
“Yes, it’s yummy. It’s just that I am feeling a bit full.” I spoke. And at the same time, I got a text message
- It was from
Dennis.
“Where are you, babe?”
I responded, “Outside in a restaurant.”
Dennis, “When are you coming home?”
I, “Soon!”
Dennis, “I am waiting for you.”
I, *OkI"
After sending the message, I looked up and saw Leo was looking at me motionless, “Are we leaving?”
I nodded, “It’s getting late, I should go home now.
He pursed his lips, “Okay!”
I didnt eat much of the lobsters. So I packed them in the takeout box again and took it away.
On the way, seeing that I hadn’t spoken much, Leo opened his mouth, but didn’t utter a word for a long
time.
When we finally arrived at T Villas, he looked at me and said, “You’ve promised me that you would
come back to the HL Area
after the new year celebrations, does it still count?”
I was stunned for a moment, “Of course!”
He nodded, stopped the car, looked at me and said, “Go back in!”
Entering the hallway, the lights in the villa were still on - Dennis was reading on the sofa, and when he
heard the movement,
he turned to take a look back at me.
Then Dennis put down the book and his eyes fell on me.
Looking at him, I was spaced out for a moment. I then walked over, sat beside him, and took the
initiative to lean my head in
his arms.
Sensing that I was in a low mood, he put his arms around me and said in a warm voice, “What’s wrong,
babe? What
happened?”
I looked up at him, closed my eyes slightly, and hugged him for a moment. And then I lowered my head
and reached out to
unfasten his belt.
He stopped me immediately, and said with a smile on, “Hey babe, hold up. We are in the living room.
Do you want it so bad now?”
I pursed my lips, didn’t speak, and pulled him to go upstairs.
He picked me up and went straight into the bedroom upstairs.
Sensing that something was wrong with me, Dennis frowned, “What is it, babe?”
He pressed my hands - I pursed my lips and didn’t know how to respond for a while. After a while, I
looked up at him, “When
did you do it?”
He frowned, “Did what?”
“The ligation surgery!”
Dennis’s face sank, and his voice was serious, “Who told you that?”
My eyes were watering, and my voice was choked, “Did it hurt?”
Looking at me, he found what I had said a little funny. He then pulled me into his arms, and said
helplessly, “It was just a
small operation. I didn’t feel anything!”
I wrapped my arms around his waist, feeling a little sad, “I’m sorry!”
“It was just a minor surgery, so it didn’t hurt me. Plus we have Clarie Bear now. I want to focus on
caring for and raising her
together with you. I am not thinking about having another kid. Don’t worry, babe.”
He spoke to me in a warm voice. He caressed my long hair, took my hand and smelled it, “What did
you have for dinner in the
restaurant?
