I had to go to Newton Town tomorrow, so I went to bed early. As expected, I still couldn't fall asleep.
Noticing that I couldn't fall asleep, Dennis held me in his arms and said, "How about having a sweet night?"
I was speechless.
There was a big difference between a night and a time.
"Dennis, I'm going to Newton Town tomorrow. I don't want to make me tired!" After saying that, I turned over with my back to him and closed my eyes, ready to sleep.
He held me from behind. Although he did nothing, I still...
After a while, I frowned and said, "Dennis, I can't fall asleep if you keep doing this."
"We are a couple. Why can't we do this?" He said confidently.
I glared at him and moved a little away from him.
But he clung to me again. I had no choice but to close my eyes and get ready to sleep.
But the more I wanted to sleep, the more I couldn't fall asleep. I didn't sleep well and woke up at six o'clock the next day.
I got up and got out of bed. I didn't sleep well for the whole night. I felt dizzy and tired. It was a terrible feeling.
Dennis also got up. He probably didn't sleep well either. "I'll send you to the airport later."
"No, thanks. It's still early. You can sleep a little longer!" I said no and was about to go to the bathroom to wash up.
He put on his clothes and pinched between his eyebrows. "Nothing. I can have a rest at noon."
I frowned and swallowed the refusal. Then I went to the bathroom and washed. He had changed his clothes after I came out.
At the airport.
Dennis parked his car outside the airport building and asked, "When will you come back?"
I got out of the car in a hurry and replied, "I will be back as soon as the matter is settled."
Seeing that I was in a hurry to get out of the car, he stopped me. His black eyes narrowed slightly. "I'll go with you."
I frowned. It was not long before the boarding time, so I was a little impatient. "No, thanks. I will come back as soon as possible."
He approached me a little closer, smiled slightly, and squinted his black eyes. "I'm afraid that you will be reluctant to come back when you see someone else there."
These words were unpleasant to hear.
Seeing his black eyes staring out of the window, I was stunned. Hank came early and was already waiting at the door of the hall.
I finally knew why Dennis suddenly became so weird. I sighed and said, "Dennis, I'm going to talk business!"
He pursed his lips and nodded, "I know. Three days. If you don't come back in three days, you can never go on a business trip alone in the future."
He said in a tough tone.
I nodded and got out of the car. I couldn't help feeling that Dennis had cared too much.
Hank handed the ticket to me and took a look in the direction of Dennis. He narrowed his eyes and said, "He seems to be worried that you will go on a trip with me."
I shrugged and said, "It's late. Let's go!"
It was a four-hour flight from City P to Newton Town. When we arrived at Newton Town, it was just lunchtime.
Hank booked a table in a restaurant in advance and asked me to go with him. I had planned to go back to T Villa first. The manager of JD Technology had an appointment with him in the afternoon. I could go back to the villa to have a rest first.
The noise was so loud that Hank couldn't eat anymore. He looked at me and said, "Let's go back and have a rest. We will go to JD Technology at two o'clock in the afternoon."
I nodded and followed him to stand up. Subconsciously, I took a look at the woman who was constantly screaming because of the man's beating.
I couldn't help frowning. Why didn't anyone go to stop the man?
Seeing that the man was about to throw the glass in his hand at the woman again, the woman shrank her body and lowered her head, as if she had been accustomed to being beaten.
Out of instinct, I said, "stop!"
When I came to my senses, I couldn't help but regret it. It was a family matter, and it was not good for outsiders to interfere. I could help her once, but I couldn't help her for a lifetime.
But since I had said that, I couldn't leave directly.
Hearing my words, the man stopped what he was doing and turned around to look in the direction of Hank and me.
When I saw that face, I was stunned. It was Marshal Kiplin!
How could it be him?
I subconsciously looked at the woman in front of him, who was shrinking her head and saw the woman looking up at him while trembling.
I was stunned. As I expected, it was Jackie Wells. But after a long time, the elegance and calmness on her face had long disappeared, replaced by vicissitudes of life and aging.
How could a person change so much in just half a year?
When they saw me, they were both stunned. Marshal sneered first. "Oh, who is it? It's Mrs. George. Aren't you in City P with Mr. George? When did you come back?"
Looking at Hank behind me, he raised his eyebrows and said frivolously, "Hey, a beautiful woman always has the privilege. It seems that you have found a new husband."
I frowned and ignored his words. I looked at Jackie and didn't know how to express my feelings at the moment.
