Love You Can’t Say

I subconsciously frowned when I saw Dennis. What was he doing here? Wasn’t he supposed to be in the hospital?

Leo was punched in the mouth and there was blood coming off his lips. He steadied himself and wiped the blood away like a devil and sneered.

“Do you want to have another fight?” Dennis let go of me and was indifferent.

They were about the same size and no one would have good results if they really got into a fight.

“When did you two meet?” Mario approached me and gazed at Leo. He always remained a poker face and nobody could really detect what he was thinking about.

I scanned at the two people glaring at each other and said, “It was a long time ago.” Then I continued after pausing for a bit, “Is there any way that can prevent them from fighting with each other?”

Dennis just got a car accident and was heavily bruised and certainly wasn’t fit for fighting. Last time he even got injuries when he was all right, but this time…

Mario curled his lips, “Who are you worried for?”

Ignoring his gossip, I replied, “It is immoral to cause a scene here.”

“There aren’t many people around!” Mario spoke out and was actually enjoying this moment.

I got quite speechless.

Looking at Dennis, I said, “Dennis, drive me home. Don’t fight!”

Dennis looked back and frowned.

I stepped towards him and held his hands and said in a cute voice, “It’s getting late, let’s go home!”

“Are you worried about me?” He beamed.

I straight ignored him, “Are you coming home with me?”

Glancing at Leo who was staring at me, Dennis answered, “Yeah! Let’s go home!”

He then got me on the car and said to Mario, “Send her car to the repair shop.”

Leo was probably in no mood to fight with Dennis, so he watched me and Dennis driving away.

While on the way to the home, I slowly got absent-minded watching the city lights changes in swift succession.

Then I suddenly felt warmth in my belly and discovered it was Dennis when I looked down.

“You are about four months into pregnancy!” He spoke out, “Do you want to stroll around?”

I looked at him and paused. Shouldn’t he be asking me about Leo? Why was he bringing up other matters?

“I’m really busy HY Technology.” I answered and pushed his hand away which was covering my belly, then I continued, “George group’s auditing is about to be finished. I have to get the files ready.”

Then I paused and asked, “Dennis, why would you let me take charge of the auditing of George group and HY Technology?”

I always felt that there was something that I hadn’t figured out yet and things were exactly smooth since I took over these two cases.

Moreover, the auditing of the George group wasn’t final yet and I felt there were big problems in HY Technology’s auditing too.

While driving the car, he smiled at me, “Can you take a guess?”

I shook my head, “I don’t know. I really can’t get my head straight on these two cases. Do you know something?”

He looked ahead and replied, “These things should be left to talk about in the company. We should chat about some couple things like you, me and the baby!”

I knew that he was just trying to change the subject, so I just fiddled with my fingers and didn’t say anything.

I really can’t get him to tell me the truth now that he didn’t want to talk about it. What’s more, since he didn’t bring up Leo himself, I wouldn’t trouble myself to tell him. There were too many things that I can’t deal with and was really exhausted.

Pulling over in front of the mansion, Daisy immediately greeted us and was excited to see us both home, “It’s freezing outside. Remember to get home early from now on. You are getting pregnancy belly now and it would be safer at home.”

I nodded and appreciated Daisy’s words. Then I suddenly remembered the box that grandpa left me and asked, “Daisy, did you see the ebony box that grandpa left these days?”

Dennis was changing his shoes and got stiffened a bit when he heard the question, “Why are suddenly asking about that box?”

I nodded, “It just came to my mind.” I remembered a lot of things when I saw Leo today and decided that I can’t live my life in bewilderment any more.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Leo won’t spare me and would just pester at me. If I can’t avoid him, all I can do was to be prepared.

Daisy thought for a while and shook her head, “I didn’t see that box since I gave you last time. Old Mr. George told you to take good care of it and there were some important items that him and your grandma had left for you.”

I forgot this matter for I was swamped before and now that I really didn’t know where had I put that box.

“Okay, I will try to find it some other day.” After all, those were blessings that grandpa George and grandma had gifted me.

Dennis changed his shoes, entered the living room, sipped the water and just gazed at me.

He was always temperamental and I was certainly not in the mood to entertain him, so I just went to my old bedroom and wanted to find the box.

The once spacious room looked empty now that my belongings had been moved away.

After rummaging through the closet, I didn’t see the box.

Dennis stared at me with his arms folded together.

I glanced at him and asked. “You can have shower first. I want to search around.”

He kept silent and said in a while, “Do you know what’s in the box?”

I shook my head, “I don’t know. Daisy just said to me that if I really didn’t want to get a divorce with you, I can just show you the box. I really don’t know what’s in it. Grandpa probably threatened you with the George group!”

He sneered, “How shallow!”

I didn’t rebuke and was getting edgy as I really can’t locate the box, “Grandpa gave you that. Did you see that box?”

He stared at me, “Are you short of money?”

Finding the question quite absurd, I answered, “No!”

“Why do you want to fins that box then? The box is just filled with the asset that grandpa left you. He was afraid that you might starve to death once you leave me!”

I frowned and was irritated, “Did you open it?”

He nodded.

“Dennis, it’s my stuff! Who gave you the right to open it without my permission?”

This was the first time that he would do things without telling me first. He also took me to meet Luna and gave her my hair for DNA test without me knowing it.
