Love You Can’t Say

I though Dennis would be just angry with me for a while for aborting the baby and would just drop the whole thing once he realized that Olivia was pretty happy about this.

But I really didn’t see that the entanglement between me and Dennis was just beginning.

I was pretty contented and calm since Dennis stopped coming back to the mansion because of the baby.

I stayed at the mansion all day to play the whole scene and just asked Jackie to drop off all the groceries that I needed.

In the afternoon, after organizing all the stuff in the fridge, Jackie came over and said to me, “Director Clara, the final payment in the People’s Hospital has been held off for several days and the finance department has been calling to ask what went wrong. Should we give a call to Mr. Pearson?”

After having several bites of the durian in my hand, I really couldn’t bear the smile and just threw it in the trash bin. Seeing that Jackie was standing there formally, I motioned her to sit down and wiped my hand, “How long has he been stalling?”

“About two or three days.” Jackie paused and continued, “It hasn’t been long, but the amount is a bit excessive. The company meant to use this money to tap into the new market. Now that it isn’t paid in time, the next quarter’s profit of the company would be affected.”

I nodded. The liquid capital of the George Group was already limited, so any delay on the payment of any partners would result in some bad effects. The amount of money that Stefan owed was a bit huge. This amount of money would have sizable profits even if it was deposited in a bank.

After pondering, I replied, “Mr. Pearson is a man of his word. I was home resting for the past couple of days and had forgotten this. I got to be blamed for this. Tell the finance department that I would deal with this as long as I got a bit better.”

“Okay.” Jackie answered and went to cook the meal.

I unlocked the phone and read Alice’s message.

‘Mrs. George, are you feeling better? Stefan’s cash flow has recovered now. Thank you for helping us.’

It seemed like that Mr. Pearson had tackled his conundrum.

It was about time that I went back to work, so I called Mr. Pearson to schedule a time to finish the final payment and sign the contract.”

Jackie had fixed the meal when I finished the call.

She had to get to work so I didn’t keep her to have dinner with me.

Seeing that she was in a hurry, I said, “I’m quite all right now. I’ve called Mr. Pearson to finalize the payment tomorrow. You can stay at the company and help me.”

Jackie scanned me and was a bit concerned, “Are you sure you are okay? Aren’t you supposed to rest for about a month after the abortion?”

I beamed, “Do I look terrible to you? Moreover, this matter will keep delaying if I don’t meet Mr. Pearson in person. How much of loss would the company suffer? Dennis wouldn’t be just cold shouldering me then.”

Well, I didn’t really get an abortion and if I kept on resting at home, things would get complicated between me and Dennis as my pregnancy belly will gradually show.

I got to make the best use of my time and left Newton Town after settling everything.

Hearing my words, Jackie just sighed, “Okay then, but you need to take care of your body.”

After seeing Jackie out, I went back to the dining table to resume eating. It was pretty boring to have the meal alone, but as it was late outside, I really didn’t feel like going out.

So I just went back to the bedroom.

As Dennis didn’t come back for the past couple of days, I had nothing better to do and just got some reading done. Apart from this, I was also looking up online to hunt the department in Hensley Town as I got to find a comfortable residence for me and my baby.

Then my phone just suddenly rang and it was Diana. I froze a bit and picked up the phone.

My ear just instantly was about to explode when I heard her yelling.

“You aborted the baby? What the hell?”

How did she know? I replied yes and said to the phone, “How did you know?”

Diana immediately went furious, “How did I know? How can you bring yourself to ask this question? You really didn’t see me as your friend, huh? How can you just do that without telling me?”

When a woman was really indignant, one really shouldn’t try to reason with her, so I just replied, “Well, I was just afraid that something might go wrong and wanted to get it done as soon as possible. I meant to tell you, but you are really busy these days, so I wanted to let you know later.”

“Cut the crap! I wouldn’t be against you aborting this baby, but didn’t you need to have someone to accompany you during the operation? What if something went wrong?” Diana was really worried and just blurted out what she was really thinking about.”

I felt loved when I heard that she was just worried about me. So I listened to her yelling at me quietly and then said, “Diana, I meant to get a divorce with Dennis and might leave Newton Town. Do you want to leave with me?”

I decided not to tell her the baby for now as it was really unnecessary at this point, but I got to tell her that I might leave.

Diana settled down here because of me, so if I just disappeared without telling her, she would just resent me.

Diana was silent for a while and asked, “When are you going to leave and which city do you want to go?”

“In the next few months probably. I want to live in Hensley Town.”

At the drop of my sound, she answered, “Okay, got it!”

I thought she would say something else, but she just stopped, so I meant to hang up the phone.

But she suddenly shouted, “Come and pick up your man. He is wasted.”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

I paused, “Dennis?”

She seemed agitated, “How many men do you have? Of course it’s Dennis.”

I got speechless.

How come that Dennis went to drink? After hanging up the phone, I put on my jacket and just drove to Diana’s bar.

Time Bar was near the mansion, so I got there pretty quickly.

Diana was drinking by the counter.

“He is in the private room upstairs. He is pretty drunk.” Diana said coolly.

I put the car key in my purse and asked, “What is he drinking for?”

“How would I know. He is here for the past couple of days, but didn’t ever get hammered. He would always be picked up by that handsome and strong assistant of his, but he must get busy today and didn’t show up.” Putting the glass down, Diana curled her lips, “Do you really expect him to be all normal after that you aborted his baby?”

I froze. Was Dennis binge drinking because of the baby?

I then went upstairs and found Dennis’s private room.

After knocking on the door for a while, I pushed the door open and immediately had this strong smell of smoke and wine flooding at me. I opened the door and tried to get some fresh air in.

It was all dim inside and Dennis was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed.

He didn’t look like he was drunk but was just taking a nap.
