“You are flattering yourself!” She sneered.
I smiled and didn’t care. “You can think so. If it’s just this matter, I think it might be the same as you think. Perhaps I’m flattering myself.”
When the car stopped before the traffic light, I continued, “But I entered the George Group just after I graduated. Do you think I could learn a lot at the university? No. I have been in the George Group for two years, but I became the project director in two years. Do you really think that it is old Mr. George who helped me?”
She asked, “Isn’t it?”
I was amused. “The George Group is under the control of Dennis. Although old Mr. George is his grandfather, he can’t force Dennis to do anything. Besides, old Mr. George is an elite in the business. Definitely, he knows the importance of the position as the project director.”
She pulled a long face. The green light was on. I started the car and said, “People in love are bound to be equal in some way. When I joined the George Group, I was not professional and had no ability, so Dennis let me practice in the market department for two years. Later, I became the project director step by step. To make me more professional, he let me follow him every time he went on a business trip to talk business. He was cold to me, but he was willing to teach me everything.”
Looking at Olivia’s pale face, I said, “In fact, he has been teaching me how to grow up all the way. As for you, due to the responsibility, he has taken good care of you. But think about it carefully. In the years when I didn’t appear, what kind of feelings did he have for you?”
“If he really had a crush on you, do you think I could marry him with his grandpa’s order? He is not a person who can be easily controlled. You and he grew up together, but why did he just take care of you and do nothing else?”
“That’s because you seduced him before I succeeded, shameless woman!” She was ashamed and angry.
With a faint smile, I said, “Olivia, think about it carefully. When he took care of you, he has never taught you anything, and never let you enter his world. Parents will think a lot about their children’s future, and so is a man who loves you. If he really loved you, he would definitely think about your future. He would also teach you how to live and how to become better. But he has never done that.”
“It’s okay if he loves you. But he just treats you well because of his sense of responsibility. He has never taught you or even let you learn anything. He let you grow yourself and doesn’t care about your future. Do you think this is love?”
“Nonsense!” If we were not in the car, she would probably beat me up.
I sneered, “Why are you angry? Don’t you know what you were like in the past? Don’t you know how you had two children?”
“Clara, you’re talking nonsense!” She was a little excited, with her hands covering her face, and shouted with pain.
I pursed my lips and didn’t say anything more. Dennis had never admitted that the two kids were his children. Dennis said that he had never touched her, and he didn’t care where the two children came from.
It seemed that he was trying to cover up the dirty truth for her.
Judging from her expression, I guessed that Olivia also knew that Dennis had never touched her and knew what kind of person she was.
The car stopped at the gate of the Ny villa. I looked sideways at her and found that her eyes were red. Obviously, she was trying hard to suppress her emotions.
“Do you need to have a walk inside?”
She pursed her lips and said in a cold voice, “Clara, what do you want to do?”
“Let you give up!” Yara said that in the past seven years, I still let Olivia pester Dennis like a ghost. It was because I was not ruthless enough, and it was also because I was not capable enough.
Since it had begun, there was no need to stop.
She looked at me and sneered, “Do you think I will give up?”
“How do you know if you don’t give it a try?”
She sneered with disdain.
I got off the car and looked up at the villa. The flowers and plants in the yard had withered.
“Dennis and I lived in this house when we first came to City P. I wanted to take you to the villa in Newton Town, but now I don’t think it’s necessary. After all, you have found that the decorations of the villas Dennis bought were basically the same.”
“What do you mean?” She sneered, “Do you think I will give up just because you take me to see these?”
I shrugged and didn’t say anything to her. I just lowered my head, walked to the gate of the villa, inputted my fingerprints, and opened it.
I looked back at her and said lightly, “I don’t know much about Dennis’s villa in City P, but every house where we’ve lived only has his and my fingerprints. He said that there are our houses.”
She pursed her lips and pulled a long face. I pushed the door open and asked her to go in.
She followed me in and said nothing.
I said indifferently, “All the flowers and trees here were planted by him in person when I was pregnant. Do you see the peach tree over there?”
I raised my hand, pointed to the tree that had almost been crushed by snow at the gate of the yard, and said, “That tree was planted when we came to City P. He said that we should plant a few peach trees in the yard. We could enjoy the scene in spring, and they would have fruits in autumn. At that time, he was going to plant some apricots. I said that the apricots were ominous, so I didn’t allow him to plant them. He only planted a few peach trees.”
She looked gloomy. “What does it have to do with me?”
I nodded. “It has nothing to do with you. I took you here to tell you that everything here was planted by Dennis for me.”
Looking at her sullen face, I continued to walk forward. Stepping on the cobblestone on the ground, I said, “You must be very curious. We can drive directly to the door, but why do we have to build a cobblestone road in the yard? It’s troublesome.”
She bit her lips slightly and didn’t speak.
I smiled and said lightly, “I was also very curious at that time. When I asked him, he said that there were too many annoying things in the company. If he directly got out of the car and entered the house, he would have no time to adjust his mood. Therefore, this road was to remind him that the person waiting for him at home was his wife. She means warmth and love. All his bad mood would disappear on this short road.”
She didn’t speak. I knew she was in a bad mood, but since she didn’t turn around and leave, it meant that she still didn’t want to give up.
This was her obsession.
The door of the living room was unlocked with fingerprints. I opened the door and went in. We hadn’t lived there for a long time, but there were often people coming to clean it, so there was no dust.
“I guess you have come to this villa several times.” I looked back at her and smiled, “Can you still remember Dennis’s favorite decoration style in the past?”
