Speaking of which, it was no wonder that the old man was suddenly angry with him; he was only to blame for letting Elena Bush leave in the first place, I suppose, and he had made his own mistakes.
The housekeeper stared at Cornel Brown for a few moments before cautiously saying, “Mr Brown, may I go out now? There’s something going on with the maids and it needs to be taken care of.”
“Go on.” He waved his hand, a weary look on his face.
In the matter of Elena Bush, he knew he was going about it the wrong way, he just had to be ruthless.
He sat inside the living room, unmoving for a long time, and from a distance, the whole thing sat like a rock.
A ringing mobile phone pulled his thoughts back and Cornel Brown wiped his face quickly, adjusting his emotions on his face.
He scanned the caller ID and it was a string of unfamiliar numbers.
The moment the phone picked up, the same unfamiliar voice came through, “Cornel, it’s me ……”
“Miss Elena, you don’t have to hold the baby all day, I can help if you’re really tired.” auntie Julie couldn’t help but advise as she watched Elena Bush’s reluctance to let go.
Elena Bush gave her a look and quickly withdrew her gaze, “No, I’m not tired.”
“I see your hands are shaking.” auntie Julie said, stepping forward to take the baby without a word.
Elena Bush subconsciously clutched the baby in her arms with a fierce glare, “What are you trying to do?”
“I, Miss Elena, I’m just being nice, you still need to get well, it’s too hard for you to be in this condition.”
“It’s okay.” She bit her lip and looked away from her deliberate show of affection.
Auntie Julie could not be persuaded, and in the end had to withdraw her gaze and her mind and stand off in a corner.
Elena Bush’s eyes fell on her, and when she didn’t move, she withdrew her gaze and fell on the baby.
The baby was uncharacteristically well-behaved, not sure if it was like Logan Brown or not, he didn’t cry, he only cried out when he was hungry and then went back to sleep.
auntie Julie looked at her appearance and spoke after a moment of silence, “Miss Elena, do you hate Mr. Ford?”
“Why do you say that?” She raised her guard, a little puzzled.
auntie Julie smiled and continued, “I am an outsider, but I know all the things Miss Elena has suffered, Mr Ford, although he is your father, has put much pressure on you you and even forced you to separate from your beloved …… ”
“Shut up!”
Elena Bush plucked at her and squeezed her palms together wordlessly, “What does all this have to do with you and why are you here talking about it?”
“I just feel bad for you Miss Elena!” auntie Julie urged, “Mr Ford has done so many things that he shouldn’t have done and hurt you, it hurts me to see it, and it hurts the baby even more!”
She said, unable to resist taking a few steps forward, “Miss Elena, you do hate Edward Ford, don’t you?”
The baiting words caused Elena Bush to subconsciously move a few paces and the tightening of the baby in her arms tightened silently, “I don’t know what you mean by that.”
“I’m trying to help you!”
“How are you going to help?”
Elena Bush listened to her words and even felt a little ridiculous, Edward Ford was not a small force in G. What’s more, she wasn’t prepared for anything, and now there was a child, so how could she help her?
auntie Julie gritted her teeth and continued to speak, “I can help Miss Elena you leave the hospital, leave G City, go to my old home, no one will know you are there!”
“Ridiculous!”
“Miss Elena ……”
“That’s enough! You don’t have to say anymore!” Faced with her words, Elena Bush interrupted in time, “I don’t know what you have in mind, but it would be better to stay here than to leave on my own!”
She didn’t want to leave, she wanted to be with Logan Brown with impunity!
auntie Julie looked resigned, “Miss Elena, why don’t you understand, you and I both know what kind of man Mr Ford is, if this goes on, I’m afraid you and the baby will be hurt, I’m only doing this for your own good …… ”
“You’re not doing me any favours, you’re pushing me and my children into another fire.”
Elena Bush knew in her heart that once she left Edward Ford, then he would definitely target KL and the Brown Group.
The only reason she was here was to keep them, otherwise why would she be here?
It was the self-righteous woman in front of her who didn’t understand, not her.
Auntie Julie looked at her with determination and was about to say something else when there was a commotion outside the door.
She straightened up and gave Elena Bush a deep look, “Miss Elena, I know maybe you think I’m just crazy, but either way, I hope you’ll give my words some thought, I can help you!”
“Thanks.” She guffawed, “It’s just that I don’t need it.”
auntie Julie’s face froze in a flash of pout.
Before she could get angry, the door to the ward had been pushed open and Edward Ford’s figure reappeared, unlike the previous days when he had been nervous, today he looked extraordinarily relaxed and joyful.
Edward Ford swept auntie Julie, who took a deep breath and glanced at Elena Bush as well, before quietly leaving.
“Elena ……”
With no more outsiders, Edward Ford shed his grimness from the party and hooked his lips into a smile as he sat down in front of her.
Elena Bush pursed her pink lips and did not respond.
Edward Ford was used to it, talking to himself, and his eyes fell on the child in her arms, whose shape was gradually revealing itself in a few days, and who looked more and more like Logan Brown.
Aware of his gaze, Elena Bush lifted the small quilt over the child to cover him.
She lifted her face to meet his gaze, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Edward Ford smiled, “Nothing, just happy because the company recently bought a piece of land so I came to talk to you.”
“Congratulations.” She responded indifferently.
Edward Ford’s gaze couldn’t help but deepen, “Don’t …… you want to know why I’m so happy to have won a piece of land?”
“Don’t want to.”
“It’s all right if you don’t ask, I can just tell you.”
“I don’t want to ……”
“You have to listen!” Edward Ford’s tone firmed, his eyes pointed, “Because, that land Logan Brown wanted too! But in the end, it ended up in my hands ……”
At those words, the small woman’s hand trembled slightly, and quickly hid it.
Edward Ford, however, did not want to let her go and continued to speak, “And do you want to know now …… why I got that land so easily and thus won over Logan Brown?”
