Chapter 17 She Was Seven Months Pregnant
Chapter 17 She Was Seven Months Pregnant
"Cliff, how was the old man …?" "Is he your grandpa?"
No one could blame her for thinking that way. In a way the two of them were quite alike.
One was young and the other was old. It's not noticeable if they two didn't get together. But now it seemed that they looked like each other very much!
"What do you think?" He met with Lena's eyes without any change of expression.
"I don't know." Lena shook her head honestly.
"Leave that old man alone and don't let him in," Cliff said softly, rubbing Lena's head.
"Okay! I won't let some strangers in again. "
Cliff was lying, that old man must be his grandfather!
But how come she had never heard it from him?
Where was this old man before?
'forget it. I will know it sooner or later.'.
"Cliff, can I ask you something? Is the new nurse called Macy newly hired by you? " Lena asked, then entwined her fingers with his and waved them back and forth.
"I asked Ms. Xu to do this. Have you seen the nurse in person? What do you think? " Cliff had always been very concerned with what was going on with Lena. That was why he had asked about it.
"She seems to be warmhearted, honest, persistent and insightful, gave me a great first impression, but I don't know about the future."
"Cliff, you really have the ability to be a siren." She poked him on his chest with her finger and even her nails hurt because of his muscle.
"I only want you to be happy. You are the only person I love. " Cliff said and held Lena's hands.
"……" His confession of love caught Lena off guard, making her blush again.
This man was so romantic!
I have to pay attention to my words!
"Madam, someone is looking for you. Do you want to see her?" Macy was careless but she had her principles and would always followed the rules.
"Is it a man or a woman?" As her belly became bigger, it made Lena feel sleepy. She just wanted to lie down.
"It's a woman, not Miss Lin. she is so beautiful as if she has come out of a classic painting." Macy described it briefly. A woman's face flashed through Lena's mind.
"Did she say who she was?" She wanted to verify her guess, so she opened her eyes and looked at Macy.
Startled, Macy said, "that woman said she was Mr. Cliff's friend. She came here today to see you specifically. "
Macy didn't want to think too much. She just looked straight ahead.
"Mr. Cliff has so many friends. How could I know every of them?"
"Macy, you go tell that lady that I'm not feeling well, and if she has anything to say she could wait for Mr. Cliff to come back. "
If she remembered correctly, Sherry had feelings for Cliff!
The last time they met was the day when she broke up with Sherlock. What was the so called friendship between them? Was it really necessary for them to meet each other in private?
It's unnecessary.
"Phew!"
"Madam, that lady won't leave. She said she had something important to tell you and wanted to see you."
"My ladyship, this is what the lady gave me. She asked me to give it to you and said that you would agree to see her after you saw it." Macy was a little nervous, not knowing whether she had done right or wrong.
"Put it there. I'll call you if I need anything."
Sherry, what the hell are you doing? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
It was a thin envelope. She guessed that there was only one piece of paper inside.
After hesitating for a while, she opened the envelope anyway.
She could read every word on it. But why couldn't she understand what it's about?
Did cherry come to declare a war?
"Sherry, what's up?" At last, Lena decided to have a look at Sherry.
"Lena, can I call you by your first name?" In a professional suit, Sherry had a slender waist.
Lena, who was standing opposite Sherry, discreetly fixed her eyes on her.
Humph, what's the point of competing?
She was pregnant at the moment. Of course her body was out of shape.
"Sherry, you are Cliff's friend, not mine. You can either call me Mrs. Huo, or call my full name directly. We are not that close."
What she said was very hurtful, but she just didn't want Sherry to hold her hopes up.
According to women's intuition, this woman's persistence would definitely become obsession.
"Miss Lena, do you have any misunderstanding about me?" Asked Sherry in a gentle, considerate voice.
"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding could it be? "
"Sherry, don't think too much. I just don't want my husband's female friend to think they have a chance. " At the sight of this, Lena grinned with her big white teeth shining brightly.
Sherry gripped her handbag and her face darkened.
"Miss Lena, I'm really sorry. I get it. I won't make that kind of mistake again. "
"Miss Lena, since Cliff is not at home, I won't go in. Sorry father interruption this time. "
"Miss Lena has been pregnant for seven months, right? That's already enough to give birth. "
Lena hoped that she overthought about the last sentence Sherry said.
"It's still early."
"Miss Sherry Mu."
"Yes."
"Bye."
"Bye."
As soon as Sherry left, Lena felt a layer of cold sweat coming out of her body, making her sticky and uncomfortable.
It was Sherry today. Who would it be tomorrow?
'Sure enough, Cliff is a real womanizer.
Cliff is an excellent man. As long as he is there, lots of people will go for him.
She didn't pay attention to it before, nor would she pay attention to it.
When she wanted to know more about him one day, she suddenly found that she didn't know anything. She was just like a stranger who didn't get into Cliff's life, let alone care about him.
Seeing Sherry, Lena's already restless heart started to shake.
She wondered, why was Sherry with Cliff?
'Does Cliff love her?
Or did he marry her only because of the baby?
Or, did he just lie to her?
She walked barefoot from end to end of the room in spite of the cold floor and kept stepping back and forth.
She felt cold from the soles of her feet, and her restless heart slowly calmed down. However, she still couldn't get the answer that had been bothering her for a long time. Not what she was looking for. "
"Lena, what are you doing?" Cliff walked angrily towards Lena and stepped heavily on the floor.
Lena's heart trembled, and she felt like each step was stepping on her heart.
She tried to hide her feet and hide her foolish behavior.
Her left foot stepped on her right one, and she didn't dare to make eye contact with Cliff
"Cliff, I..."
"Lena Mu, don't you know your current condition? Your behavior is irresponsible for yourself. Do you know that I will feel sorry for you and be angry with you for not taking care of yourself? "
