Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 271

I went into the Gibson’s to buy JD Technology Co., Ltd. to take business away from the Lewis family, but that didn’t seem necessary now.

But it had already been done. The good results were also unexpected. But with Hank gone, I didn’t know what to do next.

After leaving the office, I called Link. When he answered, I invited him to lunch.

It was already the end of the year and most people were on their New Year’s holiday.

At a Chinese restaurant.

After ordering, Link looked at me and said, “Any plans for the holiday? I heard from Leo that you want to go back to Newton Town. Is there anyone else you can’t let go?”

I nodded and looked at him, saying, “Yes, a very good friend of mine, and a child left behind by an old friend. The child was too young to fly back and forth, so I decided to return to Newton Town this year. You won’t blame me for not celebrating New Year’s with you, do you?”

He smiled and said, “You must have made your decision. Anyway, it’s your idea and I've been like this for years. I’m used to it. Is there some kind of problem between you and Dennis?”

I froze for a moment and shook my head slightly, “No, we’re fine!”

He frowned, “Clara, every couple has been one from the moment they exchange wedding rings. Whatever problems you have in the future, you have to face them together. Quarrels are common. After all, you have your own temperaments and personalities, and you will interact and communicate according to your own temperament.”

“But it’s all part of the process. You can’t just break up because of a fight or something. Clara, marriage is no joke. You can’t just let it go. Dennis is a business genius, but no one is perfect. I can see that he cares for you.”

I nodded, understanding what he was saying. I said, “How’s it going with the Louis family?”

When I changed the subject, he smiled and said reluctantly, “As long as Samuel Lewis doesn’t take action, you’ll always be safe. But oddly enough, the Louis family hasn’t done much since last night’s events. They don’t seem to be doing anything about you other than suppressing the press and the media sites.”

I pressed my lips, puzzled by their behavior. I couldn’t help but wonder if they were planning something bigger.

After chatting with Link for a while, I made a visit to the Shone family in the afternoon.

I arrived at the villa a little late. Surprisingly, Dennis was reading in the living room.

In line with the rule that if we didn’t talk, we wouldn’t fight, I went straight upstairs. Nanny Daisy was gone, and the house was as empty as a ghost town.

“Now that you paid a visit to the Shone family, are you planning to visit the three at the cemetery tomorrow?” Dennis’s voice rang out with a cool chill.

I pressed my lips together, not angrily, but to say, “How did you know that?”

I always knew he had bodyguards around me, but I didn’t think he’d have someone with me at all times.

He put down his book, put his elbows on the sofa, and looked coolly at me, “What are you bringing to see him? There doesn’t seem to be much to bring to the dead.”

I frowned, thinking he was being a little too mean. “Dennis, while I’m leaving you alone, I want you to leave me alone, too.

“What do you want me to say?” Was I to say yes? But I knew I couldn’t stop visiting them. Hank saved my life. How could I not even take a look at him?

“Don’t set your mind on a dead man!”

I frowned and said irritably, “Dennis, can you skip Hank?”

He always called Hank dead man, which was very disrespectful, not even to a stranger.

He sneered, “Skip it? How? My wife would freak out when she saw another man’s shadow in the crowd. She cared for his family even when he was dead. Clara, don’t tell me you're only grateful to him.”

“You know Hank better than I do. Would he help a stranger out of compassion? No! You know better than I do why he approached you in the first place. But even when you know, you still indulge his care and affection for you. Do you know what it’s called?”

He paused, fixed his eyes on me, and said, “It’s selfish!”

I pressed my lips together, looked into his dark eyes, pulled out a sudden smile, and nodded. “Well, I’m selfish. So, before it’s too late, you can separate yourself from this selfish woman and leave me alone.”

I raised my hand and pushed him away, my eyes watering. Moved, he held up his hand and pulled me.

I lowered my voice and shouted at him, “Go away!”
