They had a fight, a cold war, and then she left. He endured it all. He thought that what happened today would give her a reminder that let her take care of the baby at home in the future.
It was said that time would make everything fade away. He thought their fights would stop soon.
But now she was saying something like that.
Joan stood up and approached him step by step, without giving in. "You know exactly what I mean. You lied to me again and again because I was stupid and easily cheated, or because you thought I shouldn't have my personality and temper?"
Blue veins stood out on his neck and forehead, which were the symbol that he endured to the utmost. "What do you mean by saying that I don't allow you to have your own personality and temper? You know what kind of person I was before, and only when I faced you would I be so tolerant. I am willing to change my temper for you. Why can't you think for me and also look in my direction? "
From the cold words in the beginning to the current situation, the argument had turned into the question of who should compromise.
"OK, OK, OK. Darren, I will correct my mistakes. From now on, you don't need to work so hard. You made a phone call and then closed the door. I don't care how others think of you. Just as I said, you are the boss and I am an employee. I have no right to interfere in my boss's private affairs!"
Joan gasped for air, but Darren gradually loosened his grip on her. "Did you eavesdrop on me on the phone?" he asked.
'Eavesdropping?'? She didn't eavesdrop. Maybe God didn't want them to be safe or not. She had been asleep well and woke up just when she was about to see her father.
She heard nothing but a name through the door.
"Joan, don't think too much. I'm still the same man. She won't take me away from you. Just give me more time. I'll give you a satisfactory reply."
What perfect reply? Joan lowered her head and said weakly, "Darren, I'm tired. Please let me have a rest."
This time, instead of listening to her, he held her tight in his arms. She punched him on the chest, her fists punching. At first, she just pushed him away, but then she wriggled hard to break free from his grip.
"You can't escape."
It was a sentence, a statement. She struggled in his arms with less and less strength.
He gave her a warm hug, but he didn't intend to fail her.
When Joan finally calmed down, his phone in his pocket vibrated.
Damn!
He clearly felt that from this second, the woman in his arms began to gradually return to her original stiffened state.
"Don't waste time anymore. Someone is waiting for us anxiously."
She pushed him away and covered herself with the quilt again.
When he opened the message, he found that it was Selina who just texted him, with only one simple sentence.
"Anna is here. Come back now."
It had been a long time since Anna came to the Lu Company. She only appeared when all the year-end shareholders came for bonuses or the for the voting.
And tonight, wearing famous brand clothes, she came to Darren's office and waited for him.
"I'll be right back."
He put the phone back to his pocket and turned to Joan. Then, he went out of the house and told Austin to call Linda over.
She had offended the director of the company, and now she was still at home, trying to find a another company. This time she promised she would find a boss she liked.
Austin was willing to take this job. He just wanted to find a reasonable reason to call her.
"Madam, here is your black tea."
Selina remembered everyone's likes and dislikes. Mrs. Lu likes black tea and his lordship likes Longjing tea. The second young master of the Lu family often drank carbonated drinks or fresh juice. Every detail was engraved in her mind and she was absolutely sure of it.
