StarNovelChapter 273 Matthew stood by the sidelines not saying a word as his countenance grew even darker and grimmer. After glancing coldly at Quinn, he turned around to look at the bystanders and roared. "Are you done watching the fun now?" His countenance had already been cold and stern to begin with, so when coupled with his low and deep voice, an extremely intimidating aura exuded from his very being. As soon as he said those words, none of the bystanders dared to speak another word. They quickly buried their heads to pretend to sip at their drinks.
I looked at Nancy and could not help but think about how sad and pathetic she looked. She had gotten divorced at middle age and had nothing left in her life. All she did was vent her emotions to others, seemingly unable to find her purpose for life.
What was there to quibble over with someone like her? Thus, I said, "Let's go, Quinn." She looked at Matthew and nodded, takingout of the coffee shop.
We were both lost in our own thoughts on the way home, neither of us speaking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSoon, I arrived back at the villa. Quinn ordered the driver to sendinto the house, saying to me, "You must be exhausted. Go back and have a good rest. I'll cand take you out sother day." I nodded and looked at her. "Cin and have dinner before you go back." She shook her head and said with a smile, "I'll pass. Marcus will be waiting onto get back, and he won't eat properly if I don't go home. I have to go back and keep an eye on him." Stunned, I then watched her leave with a smile.
As I watched her car pull away, I grew slightly confused. I had initially thought she married Marcus for a specific goal-just like what everybody was saying. However, it now seemed like that was not the case.
There were many kinds of relationships out there, so what kind was theirs? As I pondered the question, I received a text message. When I raised my phone up to take a look, I saw that it was from Cecilia.
[Cecilia: How are things on your side? Do you like the new environment?] I replied: [It's alright. Theo is around, so it isn't that strange. What about you? How are you feeling?] [Cecilia: I'm alright. I went back to the countryside today.] I immediately rang her for a voice call. "Why are you leaving so soon? Didn't I tell you to stay awhile longer? Why won't you listen to me? Isn't it nice to have Miss Woods taking care of you?" She said with a laugh, "Stop worrying so much like an old lady. I'm leaving because I feel better. I'm not sure why, but I've always found it uncomfortable to live in the city. I miss the small cottages of the countryside! That's why I cback." "What about your meals and maternity tests?" I was still worried.
"I told the landlady about it, and she'll be cooking for m e. All I have to do is pay the rent. As for the maternity test, there's a hospital in town which I can go to once a month. Don't worry about me, you can just stay there. But seeing that you're about to deliver and my belly is also getting bigger by the day, it will be hard for us to g o on long journeys. I'm afraid I won't be able to visit you for the tbeing." Cecilia sounded very relaxed, and it did indeed sound like she was okay. I looked up to glance into the villa. Theo did not seem to have returned yet, so I simply sat on the steps and continued my conversation with Cecilia.
"Don't worry, I'm just glad you're okay. After the baby is born, we'll both go over to take care of you. You should be nearing your due date then." "Alright, we'll agree to do that, then. When the baby is born, I want to be called Mom, and my baby will call you Mom too. I don't want to be called Godmother-it doesn't sound good!" "Okay, we'll do as you say," I said with a smile.
"Oh right, Jeris going back to Whaldorf City soon. If you're bored, give him a call to keep you company.
na aiso You can also keep him company too, then. I'm sure he'll be in a bad mood again because of the guys at home." "Mm, I'll ask him when he's coming back." I sighed. None of us could escape the unpleasantries of life.
I then chatted with Cecilia for a while more before hanging up reluctantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen I returned to my room, Theo had still yet to cback. Miss Zuri was still working in the kitchen, and she greetedenthusiastically when she saw me.
I was not used to interacting with strangers, so I merely said a few words to her before going upstairs.
Theo was not home, and I was bored spending talone in our room, so I went to the study and prepared to find a book to kill time.
The layout of the study was different from the one in Salt City. This one was a bit bigger, but there were hot as many books in it. Most of them were newly-bought books from specialized fields, and Theo had not had the tto unwrap them yet.
After browsing through the bookshelves, unable to find any book I wanted to read, I sat down at the desk and prepared to turn on the computer to look up sinteresting places in Whaldorf City. X
