Irene Nadine’s pov
I thought he was mostly sleeping, but when I pushed open the door of his bedroom, I saw him sitting against the bed, holding the documents that Jeffrey Scott probably had just sent.
Seeing that I came back, he closed the folder and looked at me. When he saw me empty-handed, he asked, “Where are the things I asked?”
I went over and said, “I can’t give it to you yet. If you want to eat fruit, I can wash it for you.”
“Where’s the smoke? Bring it here.”
“No, I’ll take it for you first, and I’ll give it to you when you are ready.”
“I’ll just look at it, don’t smoke it.”
I snorted softly, “You treat me as a three-year-old child so gullible.”
“Bring it quickly, or I’ll go downstairs and buy it myself.”
I pouted, took the cigarette out of my pocket and threw it to him. Then I sat down in the chair beside his bed and said, “You are not allowed to smoke here.”
He didn’t answer, stretched out his hand and picked up the cigarette case. He twisted his eyebrows and asked me with disgust, “What is this?”
I naturally replied, “Cigarette.”
“What did I ask you to buy?”
I played dumb and murmured, “I don’t remember.”
He glared at me and threw it to the bedside, “Go down and buy it again?”
“It’s all cigarettes, isn’t it the same? Why do you have to smoke that one?”
He knew that I deliberately bought the cheap one to him, he replied, “Why there are both cheap and expensive cosmetics?”
“That’s different. Isn’t this smoke the same?” I have a reason.
Ryan Campbell sighed and said to me with a straight face, “Go wash the grapes.”
I went downstairs to wash the fruit . I thought he should have nothing to say. I didn’t know that he took a look and didn’t reach out to take it. “Is there nothing fresh?”
“That one is expensive, and this one is not broken, and I tasted it, and it is just as sweet.”
He opened the quilt and lay down on the bed, turning his back on me and saying, “Take it down and eat for yourself.”
“If you eat it, you won’t die, spoiled gentleman!”
Ryan Campbell know I was frugal this time, but I wouldn’t take money that didn’t belong to her indiscriminately. Even the money left over from the shopping just now was returned to him.
He left the box of cigarettes untouched and left it in the drawer by the bed.
In the morning, while he was still asleep, the first thing he did was to go downstairs to buy cigarettes.
But he was stopped by the security guard uncle, “This cigarette was brought to me by your wife, saying that she secretly took out your cigarette and wanted you to quit smoking. Take it back, it is too expensive.”
Ryan Campbell twisted his eyebrows in doubt and asked, “My wife brought it?”
“Yes, I brought one, but it hasn’t been dismantled yet.”
He took the cigarettes and turned to go home.
Pushing open the door of her room, she was humming a ditty to water the flowers on the balcony, watching him come in, and said angrily, “Why did you come in again! I told you not to enter my room!”
“You also said it would be good to treat you as air. Why can’t I come in this room when there is no one?” He went on, “What have you done behind my back?”
I looked puzzled, “I am at home. What can I do?”
“The security guard downstairs said, you brought him a whole cigarette. Where did the cigarette come from?”
I saw her action of taking care of flowers and plants, like thinking of something, but trying to hide it, “What smoke? I don’t know.”
“And learned to lie?”
“I didn’t lie, he must have mistaken me for someone else.”
Ryan Campbell looked at me against the wall and said, “He said my wife wanted me to quit smoking and stole my cigarettes for him. If you don’t remember, we’ll go down and find out.”
I sighed with chagrin. If I had known that I had thrown away the cigarettes directly, there would have been no trouble now.
“Still don’t say?!”
“My friend gave it to me.” I answered in a muffled voice.
“Which friend?”
“You don’t know.”
“Men or women?”
“Woman.”
Ryan Campbell sneered and said, “I have to thank my wife for buying such an expensive thing.”
Naturally, he didn’t believe me, and I was still dying, “She is very busy at work and doesn’t live here.”
“Lie! Am I too kind to you, and your courage is getting bolder?”
Seeing that he was really angry, I sipped my lips and didn’t dare to say anything more.
Ryan Campbell came up straight, took the kettle from my hand, and asked again, “Is there a man outside?”
“It’s Philip Matthews!” My brow twisted and the answer burst out.
When Ryan Campbell heard this name, he was obviously stunned and immediately asked me, “You still have contact with him?”
“I happened to meet when I went to buy cigarettes. He bought the cigarettes and had to give them to me. I was afraid of getting them back and being scolded by you, so I gave them away.”
After listening to my answer, Ryan Campbell let me go and said, “Be honest with me in the future!”
I can’t help but whisper, “We are married by agreement. Even if I really have a new partner, it is my freedom. It’s none of your businesss!”
“The children have not yet been born. Is it appropriate for you to say such a thing?”
When he first got married, he thought that with the passage of time, she might slowly change her view of marriage agreement, but she didn’t expect it to be so long, but she still clearly remembered the original agreement. Is he not attractive enough? If other women were around him for so long, they would have fallen in love with him.
But when he thinks about what her ex-boyfriend Jimmy Davis is like, he suddenly understands. After all, she has a bad taste.
After a few days, he returned to work, and I was the only one at home.
I was boring to practice piano every day. I wanted to go out and play, but I didn’t know where to go.
At this time, I found out how much I failed , and I didn’t even have a friend to accompany me.
I sat alone on the swing chair on the balcony, wrapped in a thin blanket and watching the outside world.
When I don’t go to work, I feel like a cripple, staying at home all day and doing nothing. Should I find another part-time job or something?
Thinking like this, I immediately got down from the hanging chair, went back to my room, changed my clothes and went out.
Walking in the street and paying attention to the recruitment information, I found that many positions require academic qualifications. I didn’t find a suitable job after walking around the street. Instead, I was interested in the advertisement of a university on the wall. But after going in , I found that I didn’t even have enough money to pay tuition fees.
I went downstairs to The Campbell. I was pregnant for four months. One day later, it was one day closer to its arrival in the world. My heart was half expecting and half panicking.
I just stood downstairs for a while and then turned away, sitting on a bench on the street, watching the traffic come and go.
Ryan Campbell frowned when he saw slippers by the door after work, carrying fruits and vegetables bought from the supermarket. Where is this woman?
Ryan Campbell’s pov
I pulled out my mobile phone and called her. I thought for a while before answering it.
“Where did you go again?”
Irene’s pov
I looked around and said blankly, “I don’t know.”
“Did you left your brain at home. ” He satirized, I originally thought she would scold, but today the other end of the phone is surprisingly quiet.
Because I just found that I really seem to be lost, I also know where I am now, and forget that I came here in this way. I just sat here and rested when I was tired of walking.
“Really lost? What buildings are there around? I’ll pick you up.”
“No, I’ll take a taxi myself.”
After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone, and the next second, I received a short message on my mobile phone, Take a taxi and take a picture of the license plate number.
I think he made a fuss and ignored it. He called a taxi on the side of the road and sat up. He reported the address and looked out of the window in a daze.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped. I looked at the strange scenery around me and asked the driver, “Master, are you driving wrong?”
The driver said respectfully, “Our young master wants to see you.”
“Who is your young master?”
“Just go in and you will know.”
Of course, I wouldn’t follow him so inexplicably. I opened the door and was about to leave, only to find that the car was parked in the yard, and the iron gate not far away was guarded.
“This way, Miss.”
“This is kidnapping, now send me back! Otherwise, I will call the police to arrest you!” As I spoke, I took out my mobile phone, but before I could unlock it, it was taken away by a big hand, and some familiar voices came from behind me, “Irene, long time no see.”
I looked back in a panic. When I saw Philip Matthews, my mind was a little confused, and then I showed impatience. “What the hell do you want?!”
“I just want to meet you. If you can’t contact you by phone, you can only use this way to scare you.”
I couldn’t listen to his explanation, “You’d better send me back at once! If Ryan Campbell doesn’t find me, you will die.”
However, Philip Matthews sneered, “No hurry, the food is ready. If Ryan Campbell does come, we can have dinner together.”
Then he took me by the hand, walked into the house despite my struggle and resistance, and then closed the door.
“I don’t know what you like to eat, so make do with it.”
Looking at the food in front of me, I said against my will, “I am not hungry, let me out.”
Philip Matthews smiled faintly and said, “After eating, I will send you back personally.”
“I’m going back now!”
He sat down opposite me. “Be obedient, or I will be angry.”
“I’m still angry! I’m not in the mood to play with you. Find another woman to accompany you to dinner. I don’t have the free time!”
He chuckled, “But I just want to have dinner with you.”
I sat still. I was in a bad mood today, and now I meet a nuisance person.
Philip Matthews took a bite, looked at me again, swallowed what was in his mouth, and said to me, “Why are you angry that I only asked you to eat with me together?”
“Do you take that for granted?”
As I looked angry, Philip Matthews looked expressionless and asked me, “What’s wrong?”
“You are kidnapping, restricting my personal freedom! It is illegal !”
He smiled fearlessly and said, “It’s worth going to jail for you.”
I think this man is more psycho than Ryan Campbell. Does he do so because of Ryan Campbell?
“You really like Ryan Campbell, don’t you? You want to make us misunderstand, so you can take advantage of it?”
Before Philip Matthews could answer me, the phone rang.
It’s my cell phone. He just took it away. It will be at his hand.
He hung up the phone without looking carefully at who the caller was, and I knew I would be scolded again when I went back.
I don’t need to think about it. I know it’s Ryan Campbell. He asked me to take photo of the license plate. I don’t want to take it. Now I have been hung up. If I can go back, I will be reprimanded.
Philip Matthews cut off the phone and stood up, sneering, “Is it hard to have a meal? I’ll send you back after eating.”
Ryan Campbell, who hung up looked very ugly. He was too busy to take care of her these days. Is she not good?
Five minutes later, before she came back and the phone couldn’t get through, Ryan Campbell went to the study and turned on the computer to track her whereabouts.
When he saw the position displayed on GPS, his face was tense, and he immediately picked up the car keys and went out of the door.
