Two, that’s a lot better than one might think.
The corners of the man’s lips curved up in a meaningful curve, and no one could see through what was going through his mind at the moment.
Jacob couldn’t help but take a few steps forward before hearing the man’s slow words, after which he was too shocked to say anything at all ……
Edward Ford didn’t expect Roger Scott to show up at the Fords, and even met up with Elena Bush, by the time he returned to the Fords from the Ford Group it was too late.
He quickly squeezed a smile out of his dismay, “Roger, when did you get here, and why didn’t you tell me?”
“If I’d told you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have seen Elena.” Roger Scott said meaningfully.
Edward Ford glanced subconsciously at Elena Bush, but saw that her reaction was flat, making his already tight frown deepen, “Roger, what are you talking about, I’m just as welcome to see you whenever you come.”
Roger Scott nodded and smiled, “That’s natural, it’s just that I wanted to come and see you and see Elena at the same time.”
With that said, his eyes fell on Elena Bush as well.
Elena Bush rubbed her stomach lightly, her gaze soft.
Edward Ford saw the situation and took Roger Scott to the study before she could speak.
Elena Bush tried to follow, but the butler stepped in front of her and shook his head in silent dissuasion.
“Mr. Butler, don’t you stop me, I can’t leave him alone with Edward Ford.”
She knew Edward Ford very well these days, and if Roger Scott didn’t show him some respect, there was no telling what he might do.
The housekeeper continued to shake her head, “Miss Elena, I don’t mean to be rude, but I would advise you to stay out of Mr Ford and Mr Scott’s business now. They have always been good friends and have never been at odds, so nothing will happen.”
“That was then! There’s no telling now.”
Her biggest fear was that if Edward Ford found out about her current relationship with Roger Scott she would break down even more and do something unpredictable.
Even with that said the butler still shook his head at her, “Miss Elena, I’m sorry I can’t get out of the way, you’d better go to your room and get some rest, I’ll go to the study and see what, if anything, happens, I’ll make sure I stop it.”
“How do you expect me to believe you? You’re on Edward Ford’s side if ……”
“There are no ifs.” The housekeeper interrupted her quickly, “Miss Elena, no matter what I would like you to pay more attention to the child in your belly and do more thinking for him.”
The housekeeper dropped the last words without looking at her again, leaving her to make her own judgement.
Elena Bush took a deep breath and clenched her lower lip, before turning around and heading back into her bedroom after half a second.
Auntie Julie tried to follow her into the room, but Elena Bush shut her out with a stern look, “Edward Ford is home now, you’re not spying on me!”
auntie Julie’s eyes were innocent, “Miss Elena, even if Mr Ford is home, I should be watching you every step of the way, besides, I’m worried if I leave you alone in the house ……”
“There’s nothing to worry about, I’ll live!”
And with that, without hesitation, she closed the door of that room, shutting her out directly, even though the constant knocking outside the house was ignored one by one, her heart all falling on Logan Brown.
She wanted to know if he had arranged for Roger Scott to appear at the Fords or if Roger Scott had done it on purpose ……
The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up until a mechanical female voice came on the other end of the line.
She knew he had too much to think about and too many things to weigh up, which was why he hadn’t contacted her, but now Roger Scott’s appearance had left him guessing as to the reason for it.
After a while ……
A message beeped on his phone, a garbled string of numbers, and Elena Bush clicked on it anyway, thinking it was a push ad. The message read simply, “Someone has been listening to your calls and mine, I’m fine, don’t worry about it.”
Elena Bush’s mind was racing and she could guess who was sending the message without even thinking about it. …… had no one else but Logan Brown, and the thought of her call being monitored gave her goose bumps.
Edward Ford must have begun to suspect that her last meeting with Logan Brown had been a conspiracy and had focused on their connection, the simplest of which was a message.
Elena Bush quickly edited the message and sent it over, “What’s up with Uncle Roger?”
The other party quickly replied back, “Your relationship with him is going to be exposed, be careful with everything.”
“Exposure …… exposure?”
Elena Bush’s hands shook and her phone fell on the bed because she hadn’t held it steady, her eyes frozen in a flash of fear.
She couldn’t imagine what Edward Ford would do if he found out, much less dare to think about it.
Logan Brown, as if guessing what was going through her mind when she didn’t answer, sent another message, “Don’t be afraid, take care of yourself, I’ll be there soon.”
Elena Bush looked down at the message, as if she could clearly feel the man holding her gently in his arms and saying the same reassuring words to her.
She clenched her lower lip, her small hands falling tremulously to the small of her back, her eyes firming for a few moments.
Her hands picked up the phone again to edit the message and send it, only to find that the letter could not be sent.
She vaguely guessed that maybe …… the internet access had expired, so she was unable to contact him at all.
But whatever the case, she knew only one thing now, protect herself and the baby, Logan Brown would come for her and he would take her home in name only ……
Inside the study, Edward Ford just walked in and released his grip on his sleeve, “Roger, what are you doing here at this hour? I thought you were planning to open another branch in H City?”
Roger Scott slowly sat down in front of him, “That and what I came over to see you about today are not the same thing.”
“Roger ……” Edward Ford narrowed his eyes, vaguely sensing that something was wrong, “Why are you talking a little differently today, what’s wrong with you? “
