“Dennis, honey - Can you please come to visit me? I don’t know why my mom wants to keep me living in the hospital. Why isn’t she willing to take me back to the L Community? Dennis, do you think she’s abandoned me?”
Luna wouldn’t want Olivia to go back to the L Community. But why?
“Ms. Olivia Pearson, here is some advice for you. It’s more reliable for you to call Mr. Thomson for this kind of request. Your beloved Dennis is cooking for me and our daughter in the kitchen now. He probably won’t have the time to mind your business.”
When Olivia heard that it was my voice, she seemed upset and started freaking out, “Who allows you to take calls for Dennis? Clara, you are such a skank!”
What the heck - It was so rude of Olivia to have said so!
“It’s my hubby’s phone, why can’t I answer the calls for him, especially when he has asked me to? Ms. Pearson, stop using Dennis’s sympathy to get what you want. If you have the time, take it and think about why your birth parents would hate your guts. Don’t waste your time messing with other’s family life! You are such a whore!”
“Clara, you...”
I just hung up the phone. Anyway, I didn’t need to listen to what she was going to say to know that she was swearing. I wouldn’t want to ruin my peaceful mind.
After hanging up, I threw the phone aside. And suddenly someone hugged me from behind.
Dennis said gently, “What did you call me just now?”
He still had cooking odors on him, but it still didn’t lessen his handsomeness. I couldn’t help but ask, “What did I call you?”
He asked again, with his low voice, “What did you just call me when you were on the phone?”
I was a bit stunned, but I said subconsciously, “Hubby?”
His magnetic voice let out a low laugh, rubbed his stubble against my face, gave me a kiss, and said, “Say that one more time?”
I...
Pushing him away, I said angrily, “Olivia asked you for help, don’t you plan to go?”
He walked over to me and smiled, “Didn’t you tell her to go to Marcus? She doesn’t need me.”
I rolled my eyes at him and walked to the cradle to take a look at Clarie Bear, “Has Luna been neglecting Olivia recently?”
Olivia was obviously not in good health. Luna didn’t let her rest and heal in City P but sent her back to Newton Town instead. And now she didn’t allow her to go back to the L Community. Why would she do all these?
Maybe it was because of that I jumped too fast from one topic to another, Dennis held his forehead and said helplessly, “It is not our business to mind. When did you like to meddle so much?”
“I am not trying to meddle, but just curious.” Clarie Bear was holding my hand the whole time, and her mouth opened.
Clarie Bear must be hungry.
Dennis didn’t seem to be concerned about Olivia’s affairs. He just said, “Marcus will take care of her. Clarie Bear is hungry. Do you want to grab something to eat or breastfeed first?”
Of course, I was definitely going to breastfeed first.
Looking at him, I frowned, “You go out first!”
He raised his eyebrows, “But I’ve seen every inch of you. Why are you avoiding me?”
“Don’t you think you’re creepy?”
He said confidently, “But you are my wife. What’s creepy about me wanting to keep you company when you breastfeed our daughter?”
That was funny!
I didn’t expect Olivia to show up at T Villas uninvited. Clarie Bear was already asleep when the doorbell rang.
I was eating. Dennis got up and went to open the door. There were no sounds or movements for a long time, so I couldn’t help but glance over.
I vaguely saw Olivia standing at the door. Her face was haggard and shivering.
I hadn’t seen her for a few days, but she seemed to have gotten thinner than before.
I didn’t speak, but I was still curious about the question, “Why would Olivia need you to bring herself to meet Luna?”
What happened between Luna and Olivia actually?
Dennis looked at me seriously, “Have you thought about finding your birth parents?”
I was a bit shocked, “How did you change the topic so fast?”
He frowned, didn’t mention anything else, but said, “Answer my question head-on.”
I pondered for a while and spoke, “I would be lying if I told you I haven’t thought about it. But it’s been so many years now, I wouldn’t know how to get along with them even if I see them again. Besides, some people are just passing through your life. When you pass them by, you won’t meet them forever. And they probably haven’t thought about looking for me since they left me. So... If I am being hard-hearted - No, I don’t want to find them anymore.”
Seeing the strange look in his eyes, I couldn’t help but say, “Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?”
He shook his head, pursed his lips lightly, looked at me, and said, “Go upstairs to get changed. We are heading out in a while!”
Thinking of the message Luis sent me, I couldn’t help frowning, “Are we really going to have dinner with Luna?”
Dennis nodded and signaled me to change my clothes.
I was about to turn him down. But I gave it some more thought and gave in.
After washing up, I got dressed and put on some light makeup. And when I went downstairs, I saw that Dennis had packed up Clarie Bear’s nursing bottle and diapers.
Seeing his skillful movements, I couldn’t help but ask, “Dennis, did you change Clarie’s diaper?”
He hummed, put the bottle in the stroller, looked at me, and said, “Let’s go!”
Uh uh!
I felt like I was useless. - Dennis had done everything for Clarie Bear.
