It was not good for us to meet each other at this time. He knew it in his heart, and I also knew it.
After breakfast, Clarie had to go to the new school. The environment changed, which made her feel uneasy.
Dennis and I sent her to the kindergarten. The teacher at the gate was a young girl who was about twenty years old.
When she saw Dennis, she was surprised. She asked bluntly. “Mr. George? You are married? And You have a child?”
Maybe she was too excited that she forgot the etiquette. She regretted blurting it out and quickly bowed to apologize.
Dennis didn’t say anything. I just smiled and said it didn’t matter. It was normal for the young teacher to react like this.
In the past four years, Dennis had expanded his business in City P and showed his talents and outstanding abilities. Apart from that, just his handsome face was enough to make a lot of women crazy.
Moreover, in the past four years, there were only rumors that he and Bernice went to various activities, but no one had heard about his marriage. As a result, many people thought that Dennis was still single, which made many women excited.
Back then, Clarie was registered as Dennis’s family member. Legally, Clarie was the daughter of Dennis. It was much more convenient for Clarie to find a new school.
After seeing Clarie off, Dennis had something to deal with in the company. He kissed me and asked the driver to send me back before he left.
After returning to the villa, I began to check the information about entering P University.
I should sign up in November, and now it was September. I had three months to prepare.
I received a call at noon. It was a stranger’s number. I didn’t know if I should answer it.
I thought a few times and finally answered the phone.
It was a woman’s voice, “Clara, long time no see.”
It was Olivia. Four years had passed, but I still remembered her voice. It was so surprising to receive her call.
Stopping what I was doing, I pursed my lips and didn’t say anything.
“I’m at the gate of the villa. The security guards don’t allow me to come in. We need to talk,” she said casually.
For Dennis?
Closing the book, I stood up, walked to the balcony, and looked at the gate. The wall was too high, and I couldn’t see the people outside.
“What do you wanna talk about?” It has been four years. I didn’t know what we could talk about.
“Anything. Have a meeting and talk about the old days. Anything is okay.” She seemed to have become more mature.
It seemed that everyone was changing in the past four years. I looked at the time.
After a moment of silence, I agreed. “Wait a minute!”
It seemed inappropriate to talk in the villa. I went downstairs and walked out of the villa.
She stood at the door, leaning against a white car. She was dressed in a white suit and black high-heeled shoes. Her long hair had become curly waves.
She looked different from four years ago. She seemed to have changed a lot.
Before she could say anything, someone came behind me. It was Toby who noticed us. Toby seemed to have been staying in the villa these days.
I didn’t ask him about it in detail. Dennis asked me to find Toby if I have any requests. Toby now seemed to have become my personal assistant.
“You are going out?” He said and looked at Olivia outside the door.
I nodded, “An old friend. I wanna talk to her!”
He nodded and didn’t intend to let me go out alone. He said, “I’ll go with you.”
It seemed that he wanted to protect me. I didn’t understand why he did this at first until I saw several cars parked there.
Now Dennis must be different from before. Everything about him would attract the attention of the media. Toby was afraid that I would encounter any danger when I went out alone. After all, as the only woman staying with Dennis, he must protect me well.
I nodded and didn’t say anything more.
Olivia, of course, saw Toby. She looked at me and said, “Clara, long time no see.”
I smiled and felt a little depressed. After four years, she had become more mature and charming. Now she was outstanding in the business world. Such a woman must have attracted much attention. She was no longer the weak woman who only relied on Dennis four years ago.
“Long time no see!” I was not jealous. I was just a little depressed.
“Let’s go to the cafe downtown!” She said, looking at Toby, and continued, “No one will see us there.”
I nodded. Before I got in the car, I saw a few cars driving over not far away. They blocked the way in front of Olivia’s car. The people who got out of the cars were not reporters, but a group of strong bodyguards.
Toby was very vigilant. He stepped forward and protected me. He said in a low and calm voice, “You can have a talk with her in the villa.”
Obviously, Olivia didn’t expect these people to appear all of a sudden. After a moment’s hesitation, she narrowed her eyes and said, “No, I’ll leave after a few words.”
After a pause, she sneered, “It seems that someone wants to see you more than I do.”
When the rivals in love met each other, no matter how calm we were, we would have strange emotions. I pursed my lips and looked at her quietly.
She put her phone into her bag, crossed her arms, and looked at me. “You have divorced, and you also chose to leave. Why did you come back again?”
She was frank enough. Sure enough, she had changed a lot in the past four years.
I withdrew my gaze from the bodyguards in black and said indifferently, “This is my business. It has nothing to do with you.”
She sneered, “Really? In the past four years, I have worked hard to change myself. I just want to stand by his side and be qualified to be with him, but you suddenly appeared. My efforts seem to be in vain.”
There were a lot of bodyguards around the villa. At this time, they were basically standing at the gate calmly, looking coldly at the men getting out of the cars.
I looked at Olivia and said, “If you can really be with him, it won’t take you four years. One year is enough.”
With a cold face, she said, “Clara, you ruined my expectation of love. Do you think I will let it go? It’s okay for you to leave, but since you’re back, you can’t live a good life. Anyway, I can’t get him when you are here.”
These words didn’t make me angry. From her point of view, her persistence and love were not wrong. She tried her best to strive for what she wanted, which was respected.
I nodded and saw a black car slowly parking on the roadside, “Even if you can’t let it go, whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me. But I have to remind you that since so many years have passed, you should cherish your life more and know what you want more than me. To be honest, you know better than anyone else that you can never be with Dennis. Do you still want to waste another four years? A girl in her twenties can be crazy for love, but when you are thirty years old, you should know that sometimes life is more important than love. You are beautiful and capable. Even if you can’t meet a man like Dennis, you should have a lot of excellent men around you. It’s not bad to find someone else. “
