Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 26

He walked fast and soon arrived at the yard. Meals were already served. Now another three seats had been placed around the table. The man and his child I met in the yard just now and his wife will enjoy foods with us.

The man smiled when seeing me and said to his wife, “Honey, bring the cuttlefish and red dates soup in the kitchen over for Mrs. George. It’s good for the baby!”

I was surprised and hurriedly thanked him. Marcus hated the way he spoke and whispered, “No matter how nutritious the soup is, it cannot change the fact that the baby is already gone.”

Dennis glanced at me, making me get a bit unnerved. I was worried that he would sense something from the man’s words and interrupted them, saying, “You haven’t introduced this gentleman to me, Dennis!”

I said it in a gentle manner and behaved like a good wife should be.

Dennis startled and watched at me for a while then he started introducing.

“Eric is the owner of this residence. He was born in a family which had brought up doctors for generations. He was enthusiastic about herbs so he planted herbs in the yard. This elegant lady is his wife and the one-year-old boy is their son.”

I was worried after the simple greeting. I tried hard to cover up the truth that I didn’t have an abortion to deceive Dennis. What should I do if Eric accidentally told him the truth?

I couldn’t help looking at Mario and hoped he could find a way.

At this point, Mrs. Carter brought the cuttlefish soup to me and said with a smile, “Have a try, Mrs. George. When I was carrying my son, I liked the soup very much. Although the flavour is a bit weird, it contains herbs added by my husband that are good for the body. By the way, how old is your child?”

I was in a cold sweat because I was afraid of being caught up. I looked at her and replied, smiling, “I used to carry my baby for six weeks. However, me and Dennis haven’t done a full preparation for his coming. Hence, I had an abortion.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Carter was stupefied and looked at me in astonishment. Then she asked with great uncertainty, “You don’t seem to…”

“Mrs. Carter, that’s a normal thing after abortion. I really admire you for having a good knowledge of Chinese medicine and noticing the reason from her five senses.” Mario, who was drinking tea, finally spoke.

Suddenly, Eric squinted his eyes. Then he smiled and remained silence. On the other hand, Mrs. Carter was suspicious about my symptoms and chatted with me for a while.

Finally, the dinner was over. Eric whispered something beside his wife’s ear. Then Mrs. Carter glanced at me and left.

Eric turned to look at Dennis and said, “You seldom come to my place. My wife has prepared some medicines that are good for Clara’s body. Take it to tone her body. It’s easy for you to have another child when you’re ready!”

With his deep, dark eyes that contain no emotion, Dennis nodded and looked at me. I couldn’t tell what he meant.

Subconsciously, I felt that he brought me here on purpose to let Eric examine me. As for his real intent, I still couldn’t figure out. Hence, I didn’t say anything more until we left.

It was already nightfall when we got on the car. Marcus didn’t like to be with me and urged Dennis to send me back.

I ignored Marcus. I knew they may have other things to deal with. Therefore, I decided to get off the car and told them I would call a taxi to go back.

Dennis simply reminded me to take care on my way home and drove away.

Carrying loads of upsetting things in my mind, I couldn’t fall asleep after arriving at home. At first, I wanted to ask Mario about what happened today. However, considering he was with Dennis, I decided to go to the Time Bar to have some fun.

It was already late at night. There were lots of people coming one after another.

Surprised, Diana asked in an annoying manner when seeing me come, “Why don’t you have a rest at home? Why do you come here?”

“I am here to have fun!” I gave her a simple answer. Regardless of her question, I found a place to sit down.

Diana rubbed her forehead, reminding me angrily, “You just had an abortion a few days ago. Please treat yourself well and have a rest at home.”
