Chapter 322 Meat? No!
“Didn’t I send you a message saying that I would have dinner out and would come back later? Why did you come out to look for me?”
“I’m flustered. I haven’t seen you for the entire day. It wasn’t easy to make it till now. I would feel uncomfortable if I were a minute late,” said Ormand, his handsome face dark and unhappy.
In front of Deborah and Jennifer, Viola blushed and struggled a little. “You … put me down first…”
Ormand hugged her even tighter and leaned closer to her and whispered, “Viola, don’t forget the three rules we made before.”
The two of them had previously agreed that when out, Viola would do her best to act obediently.
But after returning home, she was the boss.
Viola stopped struggling and asked in a low voice, “I haven’t been full yet. What kind of meat are you going to roast for me when I go home?”
“Guess it!” Ormand raised his eyebrows and smiled mischievously.
This expression…
Would he mean what he said?
Deborah and Jennifer were relatively young. Although they did not understand what they were talking about, they were envious of the intimate interactions between Ormand and Viola.
Suddenly, they felt that the roasted beef on their plates was no longer delicious!
Viola’s ears were red. She said goodbye to Deborah and Jennifer awkwardly. “Enjoy yourself here, you guys. I’ll leave my card at the front desk to settle the bill. Order whatever you want to eat. I’ll be leaving first!”
–
“Hurry up and leave!” Jennifer said jealously. She then added, “If you don’t leave, Deborah and I will be sick of your intimate interactions. We find the beef tasteless!”
Ormand curled his lips and looked at Viola in his arms. “Did
you hear that? They don’t want us to disturb them here. Let’s go home!”
He carried Viola out of the restaurant and had Jimmy drive away Viola’s car, while Viola took his car back.
On the way, he told Viola that he met Stanley in the corridor.
“Stanley wanted to poison me!” Viola said in disbelief.
She then continued, “After all, I’ve known him for many years. I know his personality quite well. He doesn’t seem like someone who can do such a stupid thing.”
Moreover, now that Rebecca was in prison, he was the only one left in the Falcon family who was struggling to hold on. If he did this, no matter if he succeeded in the end, he was digging his own grave.
He couldn’t do such a stupid thing. It did him no good!
Unless…
“Someone should be thinking of a way to convince him and might have promised him something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t do such a desperate thing.”
Ormand nodded. “I will get Todd to investigate it. I just don’t know how you want to deal with the Falcon family.”
Viola rubbed her temples. She was a little tired, and her tone was very casual. “Stanley will be arrested for premeditated murder. He will be sentenced. As for the Falcon family, you can deal with it as you like.”
She didn’t have much energy left, and now she just wanted to deal with the matter concerning Jerry as soon as possible.
Get Earns o Thinking about this, Viola asked, “How have you been recently? How are you feeling? Do you want me to find some time to go to the laboratory with you and do some checks?”
“No need.”
Ormand answered simply.
He held the steering wheel with his well-defined hands. His dark eyes stared fixedly at the road ahead. The dim road lamps cast a yellow shadow onto his handsome face.
Recently, he would lose his vision once every day without any pattern, and the duration of that darkness got longer day by day.
He didn’t know when he would be completely blind. Perhaps it
was tomorrow…
If Ormand told Viola about that, Viola would definitely agree to Jerry’s demands in order to cure Ormand no matter what.
–
But that way, Ormand would rather die.
ILIAL
“Orin?” Viola asked. She caressed his face with her little hand as he was absent-minded. “What are you thinking about?”
