Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

William looked around while biting on the candied apple but he did not see Abbie and Michael. Valeria also looked around and asked, “Where are they? Where is she?”
“They’re over there by the food stand, both of them are fully covered. If Miss Clark hadn’t taken off her mask to eat, I wouldn’t have recognized them at all.”
“So mysterious? Honey, should we go and say hello? Shopping with Abbie is the best!”
William shook his head and said, “They’re being so low-key because they don’t want to be recognized. They must be wanting to spend some time together, let’s not disturb them.”
“Okay!” Valeria also thought that William was right so she took William’s hand and continued walking.
When Valeria saw that Bobby was following behind them, she reminded Bobby, “You should eat some! Why don’t you eat?”
“Well… I’m not used to it!” Bobby smiled awkwardly. He was not only not used to eating, but also buying things there.
He did all this because of Valeria, if it was other people, he wouldn’t do it no matter what.
Valeria started to nag Bobby when she noticed that he was being too shy, “You can’t be like this forever. Which girl doesn’t like shopping and eating? You have to learn to shop and eat on the street like me. See, my husband didn’t use to go shopping and eat in a night market like this before, but now shopping with me. You know what? This is the power of love. In order for you to bring your girlfriend to go shopping in the future, you have to learn something from me.”
“I’m not getting a girlfriend!” Bobby replied.
“You want to be single all your life? Don’t you feel envy when you see me and my husband?”
“Yeah, I’m envy…”
“Then that’s it! For the sake of your happiness in the future, you have to learn. Don’t be like an old man when you’re actually so young. No, wait, the old man also knows how to please his wife. Oh ya, that day I saw an old man in his seventies or eighties shopping with his wife, they were even taking photos together!”
When William saw that his wife was not stopping her speech any time soon, he tried to interrupt, “All right, honey! Bobby will be afraid of you next time when he sees you. Let’s take things slow.”
“Okay, we take it slow. Have a taste of that takoyaki, it’s really delicious,” Valeria said to Bobby.
Bobby took a small bite of the takoyaki and the taste was definitely not his thing, but he feared that Valeria would start nagging him again, so he ate all of the takoyaki in his hands.
Valeria burst into laughter when she saw that Bobby was stuffing his mouth. William also laughed at the side. He knew Bobby very well and he knew that he was not used to this. So he waved to Bobby and said, “Why don’t you go back and wait for us in the car? We’ll come back after we’re done.”
“I’ll stay with you guys, at least I can help Valeria with to buy the food she wants!” Bobby had been worried since the last time William got into the incident. After that, he was afraid that William would tell him to go back and wait in the car so he started to eat the stinky tofu they bought. Valeria was very satisfied when she saw Bobby was starting to eat something, “That’s right! Take it easy, I’ll definitely find a girl you like to marry.”
Bobby could only laugh when Valeria said this to him.
Bobby was lost for words when Valeria was about to continue the topic of finding a girlfriend for him. Just as he started to worry about what should he say to Valeria, his phone rang. He felt relieved and walked aside to answer the phone.
William caressed Valeria’s head and said, “My dear wife, your nagging will make Bobby afraid of you. Do you want Bobby to avoid you when he sees you?”
“I’m doing it for his own good! Isn’t he too lonely?”
“It wasn’t wrong either but you can’t make him feel uncomfortable, right? Everyone wants to be happy in their life, not everyone wants to be in a romantic relationship. Honey, you can’t force him if he doesn’t want to find a girlfriend.”
“Everyone has their own emotions and desires, Bobby is not a monk either. Besides, even monks are allowed to get married these days!? I don’t believe that Bobby doesn’t want to find a girlfriend!” Valeria mumbled, she obviously disagreed with William’s words.
They didn’t go too far before Bobby followed up again, “Boss, I had important news from someone. It’s said that Lucian and Gurmisran have an unusual relationship.”
“Really? Who told you that?” William asked curiously.
“Gonzalec said so! I saw that you are looking up stuff about Gurmisran and Lucian, so I sent someone to look for Gonzalec. Gonzalec didn’t know who Gurmisran was, but after seeing the photo, he recognized Gurmisran. He said that Lucian and Gurmisran were in contact before, about 20 years ago. He had seen Lucian and Gurmisran before too, but he didn’t know Gurmisran’s identity. They had been hiding from others, their relationship must be unusual.”
William was extremely surprised, “What else did Gonzalec say?”
“I didn’t ask further. I wanted to talk to you before asking further. Boss, do you want to meet Gonzalec?”
“Yes, let’s meet him. I think I’m getting older, I even forgot that there’s still Gonzalec. Gonzalec is Lucian’s henchman, he should know a lot about Lucian. It’s too late today, let’s meet Gonzalec tomorrow.”
In the hospital, Hardy and Raelyn returned to the ward after their talk.
When Talitha saw Hardy return, she was very happy. She then said to Hardy, “Hardy, can you stay with me tonight?”
“Okay! I have nothing to do today, I will stay with you,” Hardy promised her.
However, he did not really want to accompany Talitha, he just wanted to speed up his plan.
So far, the two sisters of the Anderson family had already started the fight, but what Hardy wanted to see had not yet happened. He couldn’t wait anymore, he must let them act as soon as possible.
Raelyn could only control her temper ad left when Hardy ignored her words and decided to stay for the night to accompany Talitha.
After Raelyn left, Hardy couldn’t be any happier. He was going to start his plan.
Hardy began to beat around the bush and said to Talitha, “Talitha, what did your parents say? They didn’t intend to stop your sister from getting close to me?”
“Don’t mention it, they are not reliable. They have been defending Natasya,” Talitha answered irritably.
“Then what should I do now? Your sister keeps pestering me, and she sent me a message again,” Hardy showed Talitha the message Natasya sent him and continued, “I really can’t refuse her. It’s not that I don’t want to come to visit you, but your sister pesters me all the time. She keeps trying to seduce meme, and I really can’t resist her. Oh ya, she also said she wants to get pregnant with my baby and marry me so that she could be the daughter-in-law of the Anthony family.”
“This b*tch is too shameless! I will kill her! Natasya this b*tch, I swear I will kill her!” Talitha scolded angrily. With her current body condition, she certainly could not seduce Hardy. Although Natasya had been disfigured, there was nothing wrong with her body so she had more advantages than Talitha. Talitha thought that if Natasya tempted Hardy and she got pregnant, wouldn’t she be at a disadvantage again?
Talitha was extremely anxious. She was different from Natasya, who was evil and could do anything to get what she wanted. On the opposite, Talitha had not done anything too much so far.
Hardy did not stop talking when he saw that Talitha was already so angry. Instead, he continued, “Talitha, there is another thing that I want to ask you. Does the baby belong to me?”
“Of course it belongs to you!” Talitha was extremely flustered. However, she reckoned that the child was no longer alive, and there was no evidence so it wouldn’t matter if she lied to Hardy.
“But it’s different from what your sister told me. Look at the message your sister sent me.”
Hardy looked for Natasya’s message and handed his phone for Talitha to see. Talitha took his phone and glanced at it. Suddenly, her face became extremely pale.
