“A kind of forbidden repression, you told me not to have contact with other men, but the world is so big, do I have to stay away from all men?” Christine White sounded a little tired.
Baird Lane muted.
Obviously, he also realized that there was something wrong with his approach.
So after a while, he pressed down on her shoulders, “Okay, I take back those words, but Hugh Dong, you should still not make contact, this person is not simple, I believe that he approached you for a purpose.”
“I don’t need you to tell me that.” Christine White shook his hand down with a shake of her shoulders.
Baird Lane obediently put his hands in his pants pockets, “As for Ives Norton, he may be a doctor, but you’ll have less contact with him for anything other than physical exams, he …”
“What happened to him?” Christine White was a little curious.
A cold, dark light crossed Baird Lane’s eyes, “It’s fine.”
Since Ives Norton had said he wouldn’t pursue her, he didn’t have to say it now.
Christine White was more than a little speechless when she saw Baird Lane shut up in mid-sentence.
This behavior of ticking people off and not saying anything about it is really annoying.
“Forget it.” Christine White grunted.
Baird Lane rubbed his temples, “Other than those two, you can befriend them at your discretion as long as they don’t have anything against you, I won’t care, but not those two.”
“I just know them two guys, okay?” Christine White rolled her eyes.
What he said was the same as not saying anything.
Other than Hugh Dong and Ives Norton, she doesn’t know any other men, so how and who is she going to make friends with?
How is that any different than his line about not letting her touch other men?
Baird Lane seemed to see what was going on in her mind, the corners of his mouth hooked without trace, “That’s fine then, since there’s no man you know, don’t go and meet any others, besides I promise you that I won’t be in contact with Molly Bort from now on.”
“What did you say?” Christine White stared at him, wide-eyed and stunned.
Baird Lane repeated what he had just said.
Christine White’s lips twitched, “Are you telling the truth?”
“Yes.” Baird Lane nodded affirmatively.
Christine White lowered her eyes, “But I just said I don’t believe you.”
“It’s okay, I’ll prove it in action and you’ll believe you later, that’s the first step.”
With that, he took his cell phone out and flipped through Molly Bort’s contact information and deleted it in front of her.
The gesture caused Christine White to touch inside, and the next thing she knew, she was in the man’s arms.
The man bent over, knocked his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, “I know that I did the wrong thing when it came to that Leo Bort thing, but I’m going to do everything in my power to make it up to you, and I’d like you to give me a chance too would you?”
Christine White froze.
When had she ever seen Baird Lane who requested others.
And even more so, I’ve never seen Baird Lane this low in the moment.
“You ask me to forgive you, but what have you ever done to make me forgive you?” Christine White pushed him away sadly.
Baird Lane looked at his empty arms with a hint of loss in his eyes, “I know it was wrong of me not to avenge the child and you, but I had my concerns as well.”
“Isn’t your concern Molly Bort.” Christine White sneered.
Baird Lane pursed his lips, “I admit, I did do it for Molly Bort, who had just come out of surgery, and if I had made a move on Leo Bort at that point, she might not have been able to handle the blow.”
“To put it bluntly, you’re just afraid she’ll die, aren’t you?” Christine White clenched her hands.
Baird Lane couldn’t help but sigh as he watched her emotions suddenly intensify, “You misunderstand, I don’t want her to die because her life was traded for you and the baby, and if she dies just like that then you and the baby have paid for nothing, so I want her to live.”
“But that’s not what you thought before, you were hell bent on keeping her alive before because you loved her.” Christine White looked at him with reddened eyes.
Baird Lane pinched his brow, “Yes, but at that time I hadn’t realized my feelings for you, I thought I still loved her so I didn’t want her to die, but since I understood my feelings for you, I realized I didn’t want her to die because of you and the baby.”
“Is that so?” Christine White shuddered inwardly, her expression baffled.
Baird Lane took her in his arms once more and kissed the top of her head down, “Yes, and back there I figured out that if you want revenge, I’ll get it for you and the baby.”
“You …” Christine White’s eyes went wide and she hurriedly got out of his arms, looking at him in disbelief, “What did you say? You want to avenge me and the child? Didn’t you say before …”
Baird Lane reached out and put a finger against her lips, gagging her before she could finish her sentence, “Before was before and now is now.”
“But when you do that, you’re not afraid that Molly Bort will kill herself?” Christine White asked in a trembling voice.
Only she knew that she was trembling for no other reason than excitement.
Excited that he’s finally figured it out and is finally willing to avenge his child’s death.
“I’m not taking revenge right now because I’m worried about Molly Bort seeking revenge, so I’m going to wait until Molly Bort is fully recovered to settle the score with Leo Bort.” Baird Lane returned by ruffling the hair around her ears, behind them.
Christine White got a little upset, “Why wait for that?”
“Because Molly Bort is weak now, it would be hard to bring her back in case she seeks death, but there are ways to bring her back when she recovers and seeks death, understand?” Baird Lane looked at her.
Christine White nodded, “I see, just one thing I want to make sure of, how many years would you put Leo Bort in jail?”
That was her main concern.
Her child is gone, a living life is gone.
She would never let Leo Bort off the hook so easily.
She wouldn’t be happy if he didn’t get ten years in jail.
“How many years do you want him to sit?” Baird Lane asked without answering.
Christine White didn’t hesitate to say what was on her mind.
Baird Lane raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened.
Christine White saw it and was a little apprehensive, “Do you think it’s much?”
It was the father of his former lover, after all, and she was still a little worried that he’d cut her down a few years when he felt more.
However it turned out to be her overthinking, only to see Baird Lane chuckle softly, “No, I’m just a little surprised, I thought you were going to say five years at the most.”
“So the ten year figure doesn’t seem excessive to you does it?” Christine White sighed in relief.
Baird Lane hmmm’d, “Leo Bort, the man who managed to grow The Bort Family into a top ten business in the city in just over twenty years, hasn’t done a lot of underhanded maneuvering or illegal things, so ten years isn’t a lot.”
“That’s good.” Christine White’s taut body relaxed.
Baird Lane could plainly feel her shoulders slumping down across, “So you’ll forgive me now?”
Christine White turned her back, “I did say I’d forgive you as long as you avenged the child, but it’s not revenge yet, wait until you’ve done it, not to mention …”
“What’s more what?” Baird Lane grabbed her by the shoulders and forcefully turned her around so she was looking at him.
Christine White didn’t resist either and obediently raised her head to meet his eyes, “Besides it should be a few months now before Molly Bort recovers, and in a few months I’m going to personally see Leo Bort go to prison, and at that point I’ll forget about everything you ever did to me.”
“A couple months? Would that be too long?” Baird Lane raised an eyebrow.
