“That’s right.” Hugh Dong nodded, “I think it was that aunt of yours, who told her about you getting into my car, so he went looking for me.”
“And what did he … told you?” Christine White asked with the tips of her chopsticks in her mouth.
Hugh Dong propped his head up to look at her, “What do you expect him to tell me?”
Christine White didn’t expect him to ask her back, and her eyes twinkled for a moment as she returned vaguely, “What could I wish for.”
“I hope, of course, that he asks where you are and if you’re safe and all that.” Hugh Dong winked at her.
Christine White lowered her head, “He … shouldn’t be asking about this.”
“Hey, that’s where you’re wrong.” Hugh Dong tapped the table, “That’s exactly what he asked, asked me where I took you, asked me if I did anything to you.”
Christine White looked up in shock, “Is he really so …”
“Yeah, he really asked that, so are you excited now, have you thought about going back to him?” Hugh Dong leaned back in his chair and looked at her with deep eyes.
Christine White’s small mouth opened, wanting to say something, but in the face of such a gaze from him, she ended up saying nothing.
“I’m not going back to him.” She replied stubbornly as she looked away.
In fact, she couldn’t deceive herself in her heart, for a moment just now, she did want to dart back.
But in the end reason overcame impulse and made her suppress the thought of going back.
“Yes, but if you don’t divorce him, it’s not a solution to keep living outside.” Hugh Dong wrapped his arms around himself and said lazily.
Christine White heard this and dropped her eyes and said in a faint voice, “I know, that’s why I’m waiting.”
“Wait?” Hugh Dong raised an eyebrow, “Waiting for him to come pick you up?”
Christine White hmmmed, “Waiting for him to come over and apologize to me, to be precise.”
She actually thought a lot about it last night, she loved Baird Lane and promised the old man that she wouldn’t divorce Baird Lane, and unless Baird Lane insisted on divorcing her, she would be his wife for the rest of her life.
Since she is his wife, she naturally can’t live apart from him all the time, there will be a day to go back, but she is just not willing, not willing to her husband was counted by another woman cheated, also not willing to he obviously cheated, but why not even say a word of apology to her, but also with her cold war.
So she just can’t figure out why he can be so calm, without the slightest regard for her feelings, in fact, what she wants is very simple ah, is his attitude, after all, his cheating, and not of his own volition, as long as he confessed his faults to her, she can bear down the heart of the mustache, and with him back to be a husband and wife, because she loves him!
But him, he really didn’t show anything, which is really disappointing.
“Wait for him to apologize, and then you will forgive him and go back with him?” Hugh Dong quickly guessed what Christine White was thinking.
Christine White hmmmed softly, “Something like that.”
“Then you are going to be disappointed.” Hugh Dong spread his hands, “I don’t see President Lane that way, and he doesn’t look like a man who can voluntarily bow down and admit he’s wrong.”
“I know, his character is too arrogant, not only can’t let go of face, but also easy to offend people, that’s why grandpa let me … at that time.” Saying this, Christine White suddenly realized something, and hastily stopped her words, picking up the milk on the side and taking a sip.
However, even though she managed to collect her words in time, Hugh Dong still caught the hint of chagrin in the bottom of her eyes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, feigning disinterest, and asked, “Why don’t you say no more before Lane senior lets you what?”
“It’s nothing.” Christine White smiled perfunctorily, “Grandpa told me to keep an eye on him, but now I’ve obviously let his old man down.”
“Is it …” Hugh Dong trailed off, while his eyelids dropped to hide the obscurity in his eyes.
Christine White didn’t notice anything different about her as she put down her milk and inquired, “By the way, did Baird Lane say anything else after he asked you those questions?”
“Didn’t say anything, he was very grateful after he realized that I didn’t do anything to you and even arranged a place for you to stay.” Hugh Dong straightened his face and smiled teasingly again.
Christine White rolled her eyes, “I’d be surprised if I believed you, he wouldn’t appreciate it.”
“Tch, forget it if you don’t believe me, that’s all he asked me anyway, he went back after he knew you were with me.”
“No?” Christine White’s small face stiffened a little.
Hugh Dong nodded, “Nope!”
Christine White tightened her palms, a little astringent inside.
That’s all Baird Lane asked. Wasn’t he worried about her safety?
Besides, didn’t he always hate to see her so close to other men, and he wasn’t even angry when he found out she was staying at Hugh Dong’s place?
“What’s wrong?” Watching Christine White’s small face puff out, Hugh Dong leaned forward and asked with interest.
Christine White leaned back and pulled away from him, “Nothing, your phone rang.”
“Oh, right!” Hugh Dong calmly retreated back and took his cell phone out of his pocket, and when he took a look at the caller ID, his brows tightened and his aura around him changed quite a bit.
Christine White gave him a surprised look, curious as to just who had called and made him so serious, but she didn’t ask.
After all, he was just a normal friend with him, and was in no position to ask.
So she got up, gathered the dishes on the table and went to the kitchen to clean them, leaving the living room for Hugh Dong to answer the phone.
It didn’t take much time to clean the dishes for two people.
Christine White did not know if Hugh Dong had finished the call outside, and it was not good to go out and disturb him, so she leaned against the cold wall and waited quietly.
After waiting for about a few minutes, she heard a sudden slamming sound from outside the kitchen, and suspiciously poked her head out to see that the living room was empty, and she realized that the slamming sound just now was made by Hugh Dong when he left.
“I can’t believe it’s gone!” Christine White muttered as she emerged from the kitchen.
I don’t know why Hugh Dong left, but it’s a good thing for her that he’s gone.
After all, it wasn’t really good for her, a married woman, to be alone with another man under the same roof for too long.
And she wasn’t planning on staying here forever, and was only planning on staying here for two days first, and was going to look for another house to move out of during those two days.
As he was thinking, the doorbell suddenly dinged and dinged.
Christine White collected her thoughts and looked toward the door, wondering if Hugh Dong had returned.
With this conjecture in mind, Christine White did not open her mouth to inquire who the visitor was, but rose directly from the sofa and walked toward the door to open it.
However, to her surprise, it was not Hugh Dong but Baird Lane at the door.
“You …”
Before Christine White could finish her sentence, Baird Lane walked right past her and inside the apartment.
Christine White saw him come in without even saying hello, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn’t open her mouth to drive him away, but closed the door and followed him.
“What brings you here?” She asked in a faint voice as she looked at the man’s tall figure.
Baird Lane didn’t move as he surveyed the entire apartment, his face not looking too good, “You didn’t take your medication, Aunt Lucy asked me to bring it to you.”
With that, he threw something directly at her.
Seeing this, Christine White hurriedly caught it in her hands and looked at it, realizing that it was actually the medicine she usually took to regulate her bone marrow.
“Why would Aunt Lucy let you send this medicine?” Christine White held up the small pill bottle and narrowed her almond eyes suspiciously, “I’ve stopped taking this medicine for a long time, and Aunt Lucy knows about it, so I don’t think she’d have asked you to send it?”
