Spoilt his plan?
Riley muttered in her mind, had she done anything to spoil his plan?
So, what he meant was that she had annoyed Lydia and that woman had made complaints so the elders of the George family had put pressure on him?
If this was really the case, she had indeed committed a wrong deed.
Riley looked at the front. The lights of the ever-bright city were shining brightly and the city was full of prosperity.
“It seems that I’ve really made a big unforgivable mistake. Lydia went to the hospital to find me today and we indeed had a quarrel. As to how she describes this matter to others, I don’t know. But, I never have the intention to hurt her.”
The tone was not light and not heavy, very much in line with Dr. Watson’s usual style. Even her slight disdain feeling during the tone switching while speaking was so calm that it irritated him.
A trace of anger appeared on Euan’s face imperceptibly. How could she be so calm when she was talking about Lydia?
“She went to the hospital? For what?” The person in the driver's seat coldly asked.
This time, Riley was surprised, “What? You don’t know that she went to the hospital? She comes to do the maternity check-up, you…”
“Why should I know?”
His tone was still indifferent and cold as if Lydia had no relationship with him at all. Eh? Shouldn’t Euan be very concerned about his child’s mommy?
“Lydia is expecting your baby, shouldn’t you care about her? She’s now a pregnant woman and perhaps she’s expecting the eldest grandson of the George family. Mr. George apparently cares too little about your own child?”
Her red lips opened and closed and she asked about the matter that she cared about the most with an indifferent attitude.
She actually looked forward to hearing him make his stand clear on the spot, but…
Euan’s hand that was holding the steering wheel tightened inadvertently and he frowned. Damn woman! Why must you always show your disdain so obviously?
“I care about my own child, of course! I don’t need you to remind me of this!”
Instantly, the icy-cold tone completely broke the calmness maintained just now. Riley’s heart throbbed and her hand that was holding the seat belt was forcefully clenched.
“Since you care so much, why does Mr. George waste time on me? When Lydia gives birth to the child of the George family, you will marry…”
“Riley!”
Riley was scared by Euan’s sudden and cold yell. She shut her mouth.
Euan was infuriated.
“It isn’t your part to tell me what I should do.”
After a stiff and cold yell, his tone became colder again.
Yeah, she was not eligible to tell him what he should do. Then what was his purpose to bring her to let her get in his car?
The car was moving on the brightly lit road with a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. The pressure in the car was very low. Riley had uncontrollably looked at Euan several times but his angular face was taut so she simply could not see any emotion on his face.
Since he did not say anything, she certainly did not want to take the initiative to break the silence. Riley only wanted to quickly escape from the oppressive atmosphere that made her hardly breathed.
To Riley’s astonishment, Euan car surprisingly stopped outside the shopping mall. She raised her eyes and saw that there were many people in the Hang Lung Building in JD City. She could not help but frown.
“What for you bring me here?”
Coldly, Euan glanced with some disgust at the woman beside him, “To buy something.”
The three words went into Riley’s ears like an iron hammer. However, this time, Riley was exceptionally dumbstruck.
To buy something? Euan surprisingly came to the shopping mall to buy something?
Riley had not regained her presence of mind from the shock. Euan handed a gold card to her, “You’re right, I should care more about my child and my woman!”
Riley’s eyes abruptly widened, “You…”
“So, I’m going to find Lydia tonight. I think you should be very good at choosing the gift to be given to her.”
What?! The reason he let her come to the shopping mall was to make use of her to buy a gift for Lydia?!
Riley’s face turned blue, pale and darkened in turn. Finally, a trace of usual redness still appeared on her face. Was her heart feeling painful? Of course, it was. But, it was unnecessary.
“What kind of gift does Mr. George want to buy?” Riley held the bank card so tightly that the card was almost broken. As she had used too much force, the bone shapes of her fingers could be clearly seen.
She felt a forceful slap in her face!
Euan spoke with an appallingly icy tone without even looking at her, “That’s a gift for my child’s mother, what do you think?”
Riley pursed her lips silently. Her heart was aching but she showed a pleasant smile on her face, “Okay! I got it!”
Riley opened the car door and strode to the entrance of the mall. After she entered the glass doors, she slowly let out the breath that was contained in her chest. After letting it out, she realized that the strong inner strength that she had just now was gone.
That was not the answer she wanted.
A deep and angry frown creased Euan’s forehead after seeing Riley’s figure disappear from his sight. His fist came down on the steering wheel with a bang!
Damn woman!
Were you really looking forward that much to kicking me out of your life? Were you really looking forward that much to divorcing me?!
Good, very good, I would let you wait and see!
Riley strolled inside the mall. Ugh! Didn’t he let her buy something for Lydia? She would definitely choose and buy it properly, of course!
After buying more than a dozen women’s products altogether, Riley carried the plastic bags and prepared to walk back to the car. Euan, tonight, I would let you gain honour in front of Lydia. At the same time, I would wish you two always be in love and become old together!
While walking back, Riley saw a store that sold imported goods. Uncontrollably, her legs moved into the store.
With only a glance, she saw the toothpaste with the green package that was one of the brands from France. Euan had said that he did not like the toothpaste at home and had asked her to buy one back…
