Not Again Mr Whitney novel Chapter 6

Regardless of the old man’s condition, Calvin hunched his back and lay on the ground.

Once a woman had gone mad, even the Master Malandra could do nothing about it.

Selena was a bit embarrassed. She once learned Taekwondo and she just kicked him very hard.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that.”

Calvin was in so much pain that he became sweaty and couldn’t talk. He just shook his hand.

And the doctors came up to check the old man’s condition and it turned out the old man was actually awakened.

“Send him to the hospital.”

There was a huge chaos and nobody thought about Calvin until the ambulance had shipped the old man to the hospital. Selena came to him in a hurry and threw a bag to him.

“I’m so sorry about that. I didn’t know you were saving his life. Are you okay down there?”

Calvin pretended to stay cool and strong but he was actually holding back the pain. And he said, “I’m fine. It’s nothing.”

Selena forced herself to stop laughing and said, “Great. I just bought this and I want to give it to you as a thank-you gift. Please accept it. I have to go to the hospital now. I’m terribly sorry but I can’t chat with you right now.”

“Wait, I can’t take it.” Even though Calvin was a poor man, but Shirley raised him to be a warm-hearted and helping person. He had got a strong sense of accomplishment by saving the old man’s life and he just couldn’t accept this gift.

He wanted to get up and give it back to her. But the second he moved his body, he felt intolerable pain in his junk.

Selena got into the race car and rolled down her window, grinning, “Go to the hospital and have yourself checked. If something’s wrong, I’ll take the responsibility.”

After having a rest, Calvin felt much better and stumbled to the Houston’s.

By the time he got there, he saw the front gate was nicely decorated with ornaments and there parked all kinds of luxury cars.

Calvin paused. All of a suddenly, he took out his cell phone and saw a notification on his broke screen.

Today was Rita’s grandma, Isabel Houston’s 88th birthday.

Holy cow, how could he forget all about that?

Calvin checked the time and the dinner hadn’t started yet. He still got the 2000 dollars refund from the hospital and that might do.

As he was turning around, he heard a sweet but cold voice, “Why do you come here and not come in?”

Calvin’s body trembled a little and felt kind of helpless. And when he turned to her, he smiled to her flatteringly, “Well, I think we’re running out of seasonings so I wanted to buy some more.”

Rita came out of the door. She was wearing a red tight shirt and a pair of cream-colored high-waisted trousers, which showed her beautiful body shape perfectly.

Calvin swallowed out of thirst. They had been married for two years and Calvin always had the urge to be intimate with her every time he met his nominal wife. But he didn’t dare to actually do anything to her.

“Hmm, did you forget what day it is? I reminded you half a month ago.”

Calvin squeezed the bag in his hand and said, “It’s grandma’s 88th birthday, the most significant day to the Houstons this year. How could I forget that?”

Rita seemed a little less mean, “This is what you have prepared for her?”

Calvin didn’t want to accept Selena’s gift at all so he wanted to give it back to her when he had the chance to see her again. So he hadn’t checked what was inside the bag.

To this point, he had to nod, “I don’t know what grandma would like so I picked one myself.”

“Let me see what it is.”

Calvin hid it behind his back, “Don’t ruin the surprise.”

Reader stared at Calvin and thought he wasn’t telling the truth, “We’ve got a lot of guests today and none of them like you. You’d better not cause me any trouble today. My mom has just come back from Oakshire and she’s in a very good mood. Don’t ruin this for everybody.”

Calvin was humiliated right in his face, but he still nodded.

“Okay, I’ll help out in the kitchen later.”

Calvin followed Rita in. The spacious living room was crowded with people

Calvin looked around and was overwhelmed

Those who hated him the most all came here today and right now they were eyeing him wickedly.
