Amanda was biting her lips, and said, "I'm not a piece of good for you to evaluate and calculate. Even though Gu family wants to marry me, I won't marry Lionel if I don't love him. I have to marry you this time."
"People will learn to compromise. What's the difference between once and tenth time?" Darren said, "If you don't want to get in the car, you can walk home."
Amanda went onto the car in haste. At the moment, her phone rang. It was from a stranger. She answered it immediately. Susie shouted on the other end of the phone, "Amanda, you bitch! You stole my husband!" Susie seemed to be drunk.
Darren pressed the brake pedal. His face turned completely gloomy. He couldn't understand how chaotic the relationship between this woman and others. Wasn't Lionel enough for her? She even dared to have involved another man. What kind of person did she take Darren as? Damn it! He had to give her a lesson.
Startled by the sharp brake of Darren, and cursed by Susie over the phone, Amanda was confused. Then she yelled at Susie, "Susie, make it clear how I took your husband away from you. I don't even know your husband's surname or his appearance. Don't think you can be mad at me when you are drunk."
Susie snapped, "Amanda, how can you be such a shameless bastard by taking other's husband? Do you really think Mr. Darren loves you? I can tell you that the only reason is that Mr. Darren needs a partner. I'm way better than you in terms of appearance and family status, how dare you fight against me? Why did everyone want you to marry Darren? It was me who loved Darren the most and I deserved him the most."
Hearing Susie's scolding, Amanda was relieved surprisingly. Then she looked at Darren. The man didn't say anything unexpectedly. It seemed that he was listening attentively and there was even a smile on his face.
"You deserve as you want. I won't force you. Besides, compared with you, Rose is more competitive." Amanda sat next to Darren and tried to transfer Susie's anger to another one.
Susie spit and said, "Do you think I dare not to talk about this bitch? Who the hell is she? She's a low-class actress and she wants to compete with me. An family won't let her, a dirty one, marry Darren. She just likes to pretend to be pitiful. What's there to be afraid of? I can kill her with one hand."
Darren was a little displeased. When he drove back to An family, he got off the car and directly went upstairs.
Amanda covered her belly with her hands and went upstairs slowly. It was almost dawn when she lay on the bed. She still remembered how Lionel and Darren confronted each other in the ward. It occurred to her that Lionel said, she could ask him for help if she took him as a friend.
His warm words touched Amanda's heart. But the feeling vanished in an instant. She couldn't do that, because she knew in her present status, she could only be a burden to Lionel. She couldn't give him anything.
The next morning, when Darren got up, he didn't see Amanda. He opened the door and found Amanda sleeping soundly in her bed. He threw back her quilt immediately and called with a frown, "Do you have any idea what time it is now, Amanda? Why don't you get up?"
