Can't Let Go novel Chapter 145

  It was 7:00 p.m.

  Michael received George and Kui in his own five-star hotel.

  They hadn’t seen each other for years, and George had changed a lot.

  He looked more melancholic.

  Michael was a little surprised. Such expressions and eyesights shouldn’t have appeared at his age.

  What on earth had he experienced?

  “Eat more, honey!” George’s melancholic look didn’t become gentle until he saw Duoduo.

  Duoduo had been stuck on him since George was received in the airport.

  He had even forgotten his Dad.

  He wouldn’t leave George whatever he did.

  Michael felt a little jealous on seeing their sweet acts.

  But Linda got used to it. For the past three years, Uncle Nianguang was the only one around who treated Duoduo wholeheartedly.

  For him, Uncle Nianguang was irreplaceable.

  Naturally, George also liked him a lot. He had been holding Duoduo in his arms since he was received in the airport. His eyes were filled with tenderness.

  “Eat more!” Michael broke the ice and said.

  Kui had been dining in silence. She was not used to dining with people with high social status like Michael. This put her under pressure.

  George remained silent all the time. His eyes were fixed on Duoduo. He had been taking care of Duoduo all the time as well.

  On seeing it, Linda helped George to a dish and said: “Nianguang, don’t take care of him any longer. He can eat on his own.”

  George said with a smile: “It’s all right. I ate a lot on the plane. I’m not hungry at all.”

  “Duoduo, help yourself to it, OK? Uncle Nianguang is still hungry!” Linda knew that it was of no use to persuade George, so she might as well try to persuade Duoduo.

  “Uncle Nianguang, I’ll eat on my own. Come on and eat something!”

  Duoduo sat properly in an obedient manner at once. He took up a spoon and wolfed down.

  George touched his head with a smile, and started to move his chopsticks.

  Then, there came a long time of silence.

  “Well, I, I’m full, Duoduo, why not go out and have fun? I can see there is a children’s playground in the hotel!” Kui was not accustomed to dine on such occasions. She would rather stay in food stalls.

  Duoduo’s eyes were instantly brightened on hearing children’s playground.

  “I’m full.”

  He hastened to gesticulate, and then slipped off the chair.

  Kui quickly held him up and looked at the three people: “Well, you can take your time and I’ll take Duoduo out.”

  After it, she left in a hurry.

  “How was your life for the past three years?” Michael ped the wine cup, looked at him and inquired.

  George’s hand that was picking up food stopped for a while. Then he looked at Michael apologetically.

  “Sorry, I screened your cellphone number, and refused all of your messages for exploring Nian ...”

  “It was Nian who asked you to do it, right?” Michael showed an understanding smile, which was somehow bitter and helpless, “She can be so stubborn sometimes. She must have threatened you!”

  George was stunned slightly, and didn’t know what to say.

  “Right, it was me!” Linda looked at Michael, but she moved away her eyes when she saw the hurt look in his eyes.

  Michael didn’t push any further on this problem, as long as she was back now, nothing else mattered.

  George lowered his head and smiled on seeing the unusual looks exchanged between them. He didn’t talk again.

  This meal was a little depressing.

  After a long while, George ped his chopsticks.

  “I’m full.”

  Yu Nian stood up: “Let’s go and see Duoduo.”

  George nodded, and walked ahead of them.

  Michael was just about to approach Linda when his cellphone suddenly rang.

  He took it up and looked, it was from the landline phone at home.

  He knitted his eyebrows slightly and hesitated for a few seconds, but still picked up the phone.

  “Hello...what? OK, OK, I see. I’ll go back soon!”

  Michael hung up the cellphone. He hastened to come up to Linda, took her wrist and said anxiously: “My mom is in hospital, I have to go back.”

  Linda was a little stunned, Qu Zhirong was hospitalized?

  “I’ll call you soon.” With it, he looked at George: “I’ll go to the hospital, and leave Nian to you. I’ll come back soon!”

  George hastened to nod: “OK, take care!”

  Michael looked at Linda. He was reluctant to leave her but he didn’t ask her to go with him.

  Since he knew that the relationship between his mom and Nian.

  He rushed downstairs.

  It was 11 o’clock in the night.

  Kui was back to home.

  Duoduo was asleep.

  Michael wasn’t back yet.

  George had nowhere to go.

  Three years ago, he sold the house in Austral City. Today, he hadn’t booked any room here.

  “Nianguang, just stay here for tonight!” Linda couldn’t help saying that on seeing Duoduo held on his arms in sleep.

  George looked at the room and frowned: “Isn’t it a little inconvenient for me to stay over here?”

  “It doesn’t matter. The sofa in the room is rather larger. I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight, and you can sleep with Duoduo.” With it, Linda opened the wardrobe.

  There would always be a spare quilt in the wardrobe of a premier suite.

  Therefore, Linda held the quilt over and put it on the sofa.

  George pulled out Duoduo’s hand lightly, and then, he got up and came up to her: “How can you sleep on the sofa? Sleep with Duoduo, and I’ll sleep here!”

  Linda frowned: “You’ve been on the airplane for so long, don’t contend with me, otherwise, Duoduo will cry again when he wakes up later!”

  With it, she pushed him to the bed.

  On seeing it, George didn’t insist any longer. He looked at Linda and said: “Then I’ll wash myself simply!”
