The man glanced at her, his tone casual, “To drink or not to drink?”
“I’ll drink.” The woman took the cup.
This man is rarely so active to take care of her, is poison she will drink.
Kemp Ross watched as she dutifully finished her drink and said carelessly, “Don’t go anywhere for a few days.”
Phoebe Barnes was stunned and looked up at him with disgruntled eyes, “You want to put me under house arrest?”
Did he use her as a tool to have a baby?
“No.” The man took the cup and put it on the table, his face expressionless, “If you want to go out for a walk, the whole Bi Shui Yun Ju is enough for you to stroll around for half a day, where else do you want to go?”
The woman’s voice was soft, “I want to go back to the set.”
She is the first female, she does not go back, the whole drama can not go on.
“Want to go back?” The man picked up her jaw and smiled indifferently, “I’ll give you a week to condition, if you still look like this, you don’t have to go back.”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes’ eyes widened abruptly, “A week? The director will probably go crazy.”
Outside those unknown netizens if they know, she will probably be scolded again.
“How much does it matter to me if he’s crazy or not?” The man looked at her coolly, “Phoebe Barnes, you make another deal with me, and tomorrow I’ll have the female lead of the play replaced. I don’t think Emily Bryrant is any worse than you.”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes’ face took on a hint of resentment, “Why are you still in contact with that woman? Can’t you see that she’s not being nice to you?”
“Just be smarter than you.”
“…”
…
In order to return to the set early, Phoebe Barnes really stayed at the Bayswater Cloud House for a few days, eating and walking on time every day.
Chen Ma changed her diet some, the pregnancy vomiting is not so serious, a few days down, look much better, no one to disturb, mood is also a lot better.
Holding a book and sitting on the garden swing gently swinging, Phoebe Barnes was reading fascinated when the maid walked over.
“Madam, madam is here.”
The woman was slightly stunned and looked up from her book, “Ma’am?”
Bonnie Ning?
“She came alone?”
“Well, it’s in the front room now.”
Phoebe Barnes slowly wrinkled her brow.
What is Bonnie Ning doing here alone?
When Genny Ross was around, she used to come around a lot, picking her brains with the attitude of an elder, but after Genny Ross left, she didn’t come around for a long time.
Phoebe Barnes put down the book and went back to the front room with the maid, and saw the woman sitting on the sofa drinking tea, Yong Rong Hua Gui.
“Aunt Ning.” She showed a light smile and walked up to greet her.
The woman smiled, slowly raised her head to survey her, half a long time, red lips slightly hooked, “good temperament. It seems that … Kemp is really treating you quite well.”
Phoebe Barnes lowered her eyes and gently curved her lips, “Kemp is never condescended to me. But, I wonder if Aunt Ning is here for something?”
Bonnie Ning stood up, her gaze looked like she was admiring the decoration of the house, elegant and calm, with a faint smile, “Your grandfather’s birthday is coming up, Kemp told you, right?”
“Well, I know.”
“The old man will have a grand birthday banquet this time, but no more people will make the old man happy than having a full house of children and grandchildren, do you understand what I mean?”
Phoebe Barnes’ eyes moved slightly and she looked up at her with a soft smile, “I see, Aunt Ning wants to take this opportunity to bring Genny back, right?”
Bonnie Ning turned to look her in the eyes and smiled slowly, “You’ve become very smart lately, is it because Kemp has turned good to you so that you don’t want to play dumb anymore when you have something to fall back on?”
Phoebe Barnes replied frankly, “Compared to Kemp, I am not smart, but I am not unable to understand everything.
“The old man that I will speak to myself, but you understand that if Kemp does not let her back, no one can change.”
“Then Aunt Ning should look for Kemp,” Phoebe Barnes said, and the next instant suddenly smiled, “Aunt Ning is obviously not looking for Kemp when she comes at this time. But it’s useless for you to look for me, I can’t decide either.”
Bonnie Ning’s face changed slightly, her eyes were a little cold, “You have a solution, Kemp sent Genny out of the country because of you, she knows the mistake now, if you say something good, he will let Genny come back.”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes is really the first time I’ve seen such a condescending and beguiling attitude.
She wanted to laugh a little, but out of respect for her elders, she still politely said, “Aunt Ning, I think you may have misunderstood something, if what I said worked, it wouldn’t be so hard to stay at Ross’ house, besides, I don’t want to make things difficult for Kemp, I will only support and not stop him from doing anything.”
“You!” Bonnie Ning’s face completely changed and she looked at her angrily, “Phoebe Barnes, my daughter’s surname is also Fu, half of the Ross family’s assets are hers, you don’t want her back, do you want to keep it all to yourself?”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes blinked and expressed some confusion, how did it come back to property?
“Aunt Ning, you are thinking too much, I am not interested in the division of your family’s assets. Besides, Kemp manages the whole group and supports all of you, do you think all that money fell from the sky?”
How hard he had to work alone, a few of these people know.
Bonnie Ning sneered, “Phoebe Barnes, you don’t have to pretend to be noble here, the most useless person in this family is you, even if you can’t give birth to a child, not only to let him support you, but also to ruin the Ross family’s reputation.”
Phoebe Barnes lifted the broken hair around her ears, there was no irritation on her exquisite plain face, and her smile was frank, “Aunt Ning, it is because I am useless that I do not want to add trouble to him, so … Genny’s matter, you should wait for him to come back from work and talk to him personally. ”
“…”
Bonnie Ning gritted her teeth in anger, pointed at her, and snapped, “Phoebe Barnes, how can I be your mother-in-law, and this is how you talk to me?”
Phoebe Barnes smiled a dimpled smile and expressed some helplessness, “Aunt Ning, if that’s not polite, should I ask the guards to kick you out? That’s fine, if you want to wait here for Kemp to return, I’ll have the kitchen prepare dinner, what would you like to eat?”
“…”
Bonnie Ning is naturally afraid to come face to face with Kemp Ross.
Not to reap the benefits, was angry, but in the blue water cloud residence she can not do anything openly, can only leave in the dust.
Chen Ma came out worriedly, “Madam, are you okay?”
Phoebe Barnes shook her head gently, “I’m fine.”
She was actually a little confused as to why Bonnie Ning didn’t go directly to Kemp Ross, even though the man had nothing good to say about her, but as his stepmother, she should have been justified.
It seems that in front of Kemp Ross, she is more fearful than to the old man, exactly like in because of the weak heart and afraid to face the kind of.
Thinking about it, Phoebe Barnes suddenly felt that she really didn’t know anything about Kemp Ross’ past.
