Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 391

I wore a smile on my face, which became stiff after a while.

I went through the crowd and sat at a table, on which I saw quite some good dishes.

This was a table of 16. Folly was welcoming the guests. Luna and Samuel were busy too.

The one beside me was Mr. White, whom I came across just now in the hall.

Link was also there. He waved towards me, “Clara, come here.”

I glanced at Dennis near me; I was not an expert in socializing.

He smiled at me, “don’t worry. It’s okay.”

I approached Link, who let me sit down and said to Mr. White, “Let me introduce my daughter, Clara.”

The old gentleman nodded and laughed, “I saw her a moment ago. Folly said she was the daughter of the Lewis family, and now she is your child?”

Link laughed, “yes. I like this girl and I made her my daughter.”

“I see.” The old man laughed, “she is so lucky.”

Everybody laughed at this; I fabricated a smile too.

Luck, to me, meant safety and health for a whole life. Then how could I be lucky?

“Clara, please go to the hotel with me. I need to change this troublesome garment.” Folly whispered to me.

I nodded and I wanted to change my clothes too.

We went upstairs and I lost my thought in the elevator.

She said, “Hey, what are you thinking of?”

I shook my head, “Nothing.”

In the room, she was so tired after changing her dress. She lay on the bed and declared, “I swear I won’t marry a second time.”

I pressed my lips and lost myself on the screen I was holding.

Folly cried several times before I returned to reality.

I asked her, “What’s the matter?”

She frowned, “it is me, not you, that should ask this question. You have been thinking of something since we went into the elevator. What on earth is in your mind?”

“Can you do me a favor?” I asked.

“What?”

“My grandma bequeathed me a wooden box. But I didn’t cherish it so well that it was lost now. I think it might be taken to Luna by Dennis and that the reason for her apology was that box. Can you look for it in your house or just ask Luna if she has it?”

She was surprised, “Why do you think of that box?”

“It just came into my mind.” I didn’t want to explain.

She didn’t force an explanation from me and said, “Okay. I will try to find it.”

I thanked her and left.

Clarrie was still home and I needed to go home.

Downstairs, Dennis was not to be seen. I found a place to sit and waited for his appearance.

He appeared soon; his height made him quite conspicuous in the crowd.

I waved at him and walked toward him. He asked, “Have you eaten?”

I didn’t. I was taken upstairs by Folly a moment ago.

“I am not hungry.” I wanted to go home.

But he returned me to the table and made me eat some food.

He was drinking beside me, and I was surprised, “Won’t you drive us home?”
