“Daisy, what time did Dennis go out in the morning?” I said, finishing my cereals.
“He left at dawn, in a hurry.” Nanny Daisy spoke. After a pause, she looked at me and continued, “I heard a few days ago that Olivia Pearson might not be the daughter of the Lewis family. Rumor has it that they made a mistake in the past.”
I was stunned. Did Dennis go out for this?
I didn’t ask further. I was planning to go back to City P, and I was arranging to bring Clarie Bear with me. But I had not been in my best health these days, so I asked Alex to take her for me instead.
I was at YT Community.
When I arrived, Luis was cooking in the kitchen. Alex was holding Clarie Bear in his arms. He saw me coming in, he pouted, “Clarie Bear, look who’s here. Clara, I thought you’ve vanished.”
I said apologetically, “I went to country M and just came back last night. How is Clarie Bear doing these days?”
Alex nodded, seeing Clarie Bear reaching out for my hugs, and he handed her to me, “This little guy doesn’t appreciate formula after she’s been breastfed.”
I hugged Clarie Bear, and she did seem to have gotten a little thinner. I sat on the sofa, looked at Luis, and saw that he was concentrated on cooking.
I couldn’t help looking at Alex and saying, “Are you going to go back to City P?”
Alex frowned, “Will you be going back, too?”
I nodded, “The Gibson’s has a new product to release, and I have been in charge of this project. If I don’t go back, it just doesn’t make sense.”
He looked at Clarie Bear and couldn’t help but say, “Are you planning to take Clarie Bear to live in City P?”
“Mhm-hmm.”
Alex went silent, his eyes couldn’t help looking at Luis, and he said, “Are you planning to go to City P?”
Luis stopped what he was doing and looked back at me, “The credit lending business and my family are both in Newton Town, if anything, I will only be going to City P on a business trip.”
After a pause, Luis looked at me, “About the Gibson’s, you can resign from the job and go back to Newton Town. The George group’s business in Newton Town is basically handled by outsiders, you are the wife of the young master of the George group, it makes sense for you to enter the George group and help manage it.”
I pursed my lips and subconsciously wanted to refuse. He continued, “Dennis has big ambitions, but Newton Town is where the George group was established, so it is definitely better to handle the business by yourselves than handing them in others’ hands.”
I was silent for a while, thought about it, and said, “I left the George group because of a mistake, and now even if I want to go back, I have to at least make a success first. The Gibson group’s AI project is on me, and I haven’t achieved anything yet. I don’t want to make the same mistake again.”
“So, what are your plans?”
“Perhaps after the AI project hit the market successfully. By the way, I saw Hank Gibson.” Claire Bear was probably hungry, and she kept rubbing my clothes with her small hand.
Luis’s eyes sank, “Yank Gibson’s only son, Hank Gibson?”
I nodded.
Alex was confused, “Didn’t he die in a car accident? How could...”
I nodded, “I saw him in Country M, and I still couldn’t figure out what had happened. I had no idea what was going on with him at that time.”
After that, I got up and carried Clarie Bear into the room to breastfeed.
...
I originally planned to bring Clarie Bear back to T Villas, but Alex was worried because he saw me drive here alone, so he asked me to pick her up another day together with Dennis.
After coming out of YT Community, I had nothing to do. Seeing that it was still early, I wanted to go to the cemetery to see Grandpa, Grandma, and Diana.
The car got stuck in a traffic jam halfway through, but fortunately, it wasn’t stuck on the highway.
Because of the long traffic jam, many drivers got out of the car to check out what was going on.
The driver who had figured out the situation turned back and said helplessly, “Why are young people driving so carelessly these days? They crashed so badly. There’s still a pregnant woman in the car, and she’s in labor now. It’s too dangerous.”
“Looking at the man who drove the Maybach, he was only in his twenties, but he had an extraordinary temperament. He didn’t look like an ordinary playboy. How could he drive so carelessly? It might take a while before it could get well-handled for us to drive forward.”
