"Mario, that's itenough!" Marcus looked at Nova with dissatisfaction and said, "Didn't she just ask you to buy some food? Do you need to be so scheming to cause a dispute between us?"
Nova looked aggrieved and shook her head. "Mr. Thomson, it's not like that. I never thought it would be like this. I didn't mean to!"
Mario sneered and said, "Why do you blame her? Anyone who wants to eat can buy for himself. If you care about Olivia, you can buy it for her yourself. Is it necessary to embarrass a girl here?"
"Mario, what do you mean?" Marcus, who had been trying to mediate, now was already involved. He looked at Mario and said, "You're looking for trouble, aren't you? How did Olivia provoke you?"
The two were at loggerheads, the atmosphere particularly unfriendly.
Dennis put down the wine glass. The table was smashed with a loud bang. He looked at the two of them and said coldly, "Did you call me here to see you quarrel?"
"Dennis!" Marcus said, "This woman is the one who caused the dispute!"
He pointed at Nova with a look of disgust.
I had long been used to Marcus’ habit of slinging mud at on anyone he didn't like.
Though I didn't like Nova, at this time, I had some sympathy for her.
Dennis frowned and glanced at her. He said flatly, "You don't want to go and buy food?"
Nova shook her head in a hurry. "Yes, I do!"
Dennis raised his eyebrows and said, "Then go ahead!"
Nova glanced at Mario. Seeing that he said nothing, she rose and left.
Then Dennis looked at Mario and asked, "Do you take it seriously?"
"No!" Mario took a sip of wine.
"Then don't ruin our friendship!" Dennis’ voice was very light. He looked at Marcus and said, "Speak properly in the future!"
Marcus nodded. He picked up his glass and looked at Mario. "Mario, I'm sorry. I was impulsive just now!"
Mario raised his glass. He said nothing but drank the wine, which indicated reconciliation.
The friendship between men was not that complicated. It was over when it was over.
Forgetting about Nova, the three of them continued chatting.
Olivia pursed her lips and was a little unhappy. After sitting for a while, she got up and went out.
After sitting for a long time, I felt a little uncomfortable. I whispered to Dennis, "I'm going out to get refreshed!"
He nodded, stood up, and said, "I'll go with you!"
I shook my head. "No, I want to go by myself!"
Pushing him back to his seat, I smiled and left the room.
The Joy Place was grand. Guests coming here were different. I didn't dare go too far, so I walked slowly in the corridor.
Olivia came out of the bathroom and saw me wandering in the corridor. She said sarcastically, "It seems that the baby is due soon but it is not known if it can be born and grow up!"
I frowned and leaned against the wall to steady myself. After making sure that I was safe, I looked at her and said, "I thought that Miss Pearson should at least be generous and gentle after you became one of a big family like the Lewis family. But now I find that you are not as good as before. No wonder Dennis looks down on you even more."
"You..." For a moment, she was too angry to speak. Then she looked at me and said, "Clara, how could you say that to me? Do you believe that you can be together with Dennis after you have this child? Let me tell you, it's impossible. It's easy for our Lewis family to have someone die, let alone a child. You Do you think you can be delivered of the child? I won't have it happen!"
The darkest side of human nature was to kill those who he dislikes and hated.
