Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad -
Chapter 73 The unexpected woman
"I may leave later. Do you have any friends or relatives to pick you up? It's not convenient for you to move now." Emma's voice is as soft as cotton. Claire thinks for a while and finally thinks that her friends and relatives are different from her.
"What's the matter?" She seems to sense Claire's embarrassment.
Claire knows she's going to drag Emma down if she doesn't get someone to pick her up. She reluctantly smiles and says, "I'll call my husband." Emma praises her, "you get married so young. You are really happy."
Claire doesn't answer. Only she knows how she feels.
Leo answers the phone soon. Claire briefly explains to him what happened and the hospital she is going to.
The tone of Leo on the other end of the phone is cold. It seems that even if Claire dies, it will not affect his mood.
Because Leo never asks Claire if she is seriously injured. Claire feels a little frustrated.
But soon she tells herself that she can be depressed for anyone except Leo. Otherwise, sooner or later, she will be driven mad by that moody psychopath.
Leo finally comes. He looks at Claire sitting in the hospital corridor and says angrily, "you can even fall when you walk. I don't know what you can do."
Claire has long been used to Leo's indifference and sarcasm. She doesn't care because she called Leo at Emma's request. She doesn't want to drag her down. After all, Emma and Claire are not familiar. It's kind of her to send her to the hospital. Claire turns to look at Emma subconsciously. She sees Emma standing like a statue. Her lips tremble slightly and she stares at Leo.
Claire thinks Emma is a little strange and asks her, "Emma, what's wrong with you? Do you know Leo?"
In front of outsiders, Claire still affectionately calls Leo.
Emma doesn't answer her. Claire thinks she is abnormal and gives her a little push.
Emma's body shakes wildly. She suddenly steps back and says, "I don't know him. I don't know him."
Claire frowns. She can feel Emma's tension and reaches for Emma. She wants to replace out. She didn't expect Emma to break free of her hand. She runs out of the hospital shouting.
Seeing Emma leave in a panic, Claire says to Leo, "I think Emma might be a woman you're out there with. She looks sad."
Claire doesn't mind Leo's life out there. Because Claire has no sense of belonging. Instead of blaming Leo, she feels that Emma is aggrieved.
Leo frowns at where Emma disappears. He seems to be thinking about something and not paying attention to Claire at all.
"Can't you admit it? You are Master Howard. You have a lot of women. It is normal so you don't need to cover it up."
Then Leo turns to Claire. He says without expression, "Claire, are you covering up the truth about your jealousy?"
Claire sneers. "I've never met anyone as cheeky as you. I've never been jealous because of you. You said we are just nominal couples. We get along like enemies. Why do we pretend to be lovers?" Leo looks down at Claire and says coldly, "you'd better shut up now." Leo doesn't mention the girl but wants to quarrel with Claire. He looks down at Claire.
Claire's foot injury is still in pain, or she will have left long ago.
Leo says coldly, "come home with me."
Claire shakes her head. "No, I have to go to school today." In fact, Claire doesn't want to go to school now. But she wants to provoke Leo so she has to go to school.
Claire instinctively resists Leo.
Leo does what he usually did. He picks up Claire. Whether she yells or hit him with her fist, Leo gets her into the car tough!
"Leo!" Claire roars, but Leo starts the car as if he hasn't heard it.
It is not until the car stops that Claire realizes that Leo has taken her to school.
After getting out of the car, Claire watches Leo's car go away, and then she gets back to her senses.
"Maybe he's not normal today." She frowns and does not continue to think. She limps into the school.
After entering the classroom, she is a little sleepy. She falls asleep. She doesn't wake up when everyone leaves.
After a while, a gentle man in a suit walks slowly into the classroom. He stands at the door and looks quietly at Claire on the desk. He watches her for a long time. There is a deep feeling and a little regret in his eyes. That man is Bryce. He tries not to disturb Claire and slowly walks up to her and sits down. He doesn't make a sound. He is even quieter than a cat.
He reaches out and strokes Claire's hair gently. He is afraid to disturb the quiet and sad beauty.
He puts Claire's hair behind her ears and looks quietly at her earlobes.
Bryce's favorite are her eyes and earlobes. Her eyes are not the purest or the most beautiful, but they can devour him like a sea. And her round and soft, smooth and full earlobes are really almost perfect. He watches her quietly until she wakes up.
Claire rubs her eyes and looks at him puzzled. She says doubtfully, "Why are you here? Am I dreaming?"
