Chapter 267 He's Back
"I know you are a weak woman. Why are you so determined? Is your hard work worth it or not? To fulfill your will, you have to let the people around you worry about you. At least, in order to protect your Maggie, you'd better learn to be realistic," Darren said.
Amanda took a deep breath and continued, "If you're really out of your mind and you just want to let me know the real reason why you want a divorce, why don't you just tell me?"
"I think about it now. It seems that the baby is more important. You know, Rose is pregnant with my baby. I did want to abandon the baby for you, but when her baby really grows up, I decided to be responsible for her. After all, she has been with me from the beginning. I am the only man she has and I should cherish her," Darren said without hesitation.
He cherished Rose. It turned out that he had changed his mind unconsciously, and Amanda was so naive to believe that he had his own difficulties.
Amanda mumbled to herself, "So everything you did was for the sake of Rose. I can see that you really like her. Then what kind of feeling did you have towards me in the past? Did you just take me as a lonely plaything?"
"Yes, you are just a plaything, wild prey is more interesting, but if you think that I will accompany you all my life, then you are really too naive. I really sympathize with you with such an affectionate look," Darren said with an exaggerated tone.
Tears slowly dropped from Amanda's eyes. She smiled to him stubbornly. "Okay, Darren. I'll take it as an accident. I lost all my love. We'll leave each other afterwards. I'll forget about you completely and won't have any fantasy about you anymore. You can stay with Rose and stay with her forever," she said.
Then Amanda walked out and closed the door, separating the warm room from the snowing outside, separating them from a spring and a winter.
In the end, Amanda gave up the jewelry that Darren offered to her. He even wanted to treat her as a sleeping beauty. Did he take pity on her who had been trapped in trouble? After seeing the big difference between them, should she act like a begging girl?
Holding a pile of files in her hands, Amanda was standing on the snow and covered her face tightly with a mask as her tears were blowing in the wind. She felt sad but she didn't give up on herself. There was hope for her future in her belly.
If she told Darren that she was pregnant as well, would everything be different? Would abandon Rose and stand by her side? If he was not there with her at all, what was the meaning of his men?
"Baby, your father is such a loser. He's smart and heartless. Don't learn from him, baby," Amanda murmured.
Standing in the cold wind, no one responded to her words, but Amanda was still warm-hearted.
The lights in the airport were still bright. The plane from the United States had landed firmly under the loud roar. The plane was blowing off a large area of snow with the wind. All the passengers who came out were relieved. Fortunately, the snow did not snow too much. If it delayed the plane to land, it would waste a lot of time.
The people who got off the plane were mostly in Asia and all of them wanted to go back to their hometown for the Spring Festival as it was near the end of the year.
A tall couple was eye-catching in the crowd. The man wore a light grey windbreaker, and his skin was wheat colored. His hair was short and he had a handsome and good-looking face, just like the model cover. The woman had exquisite makeup, and her red overcoat wrapped her slender body. She was
wearing simple pearl earrings, and with a smile on her face, she held the man's arm intimately. It seemed like an overseas Chinese couple who had come back from the United States to visit their relatives.
"I haven't been back for a long time. I miss here so much," Josie said with a smile as she walked out of the airport and looked at the snowflake outside.
Lionel smiled. He didn't expect that Nicholas would allow him to come back at this time. He didn't want to be in a confrontation with him, but he was really worried about his grandfather's illness.
"Are you hungry?" Josie narrowed her eyes as she reached out her hand to smooth his collar. To her surprise, it was cold here.
"I'm fine. You have been sleeping all the way on the plane. You must be hungry now," Lionel replied.
Leaning on his shoulder with a smile, she continued, "Yeah. I'm starving and cold now. Let's go to eat hotpot, okay? There is a famous hotpot restaurant nearby. I like it very much."
Since Josie had helped him a lot all the way, Lionel certainly had no reason to refuse. Josie happily took him to the hotpot restaurant, which was just the airport ahead. In fact, it would be more convenient to take a taxi, but she liked to walk with him hand in hand. Lionel held the suitcase, an umbrella in one hand, and Josie held his hand with the umbrella.
When they arrived at the hotpot restaurant, there were many people.
If it were in the past, Lionel didn't like boisterous occasions. However, as he had been with Josie in the United States, they didn't live in the city. Their surroundings were a great farmland and he rarely saw so many people, which made him feel very lonely. It was not until he saw so many people around him and
heard the mother tongue that he truly felt that he had come back. He really enjoyed such an environment.
"I'm sorry, miss. All the rooms in this restaurant have been reserved, and only the seats in the lobby are left. It's near the end of the year. I'm really sorry that we can't book a room in advance." The waiter behind the counter said apologetically.
Although Josie didn't mind it, she knew that Lionel didn't like noisy surroundings. She looked at him and said, "Since there are so many people here, let's change to another place."
"Don't you want to eat? Since there are seats in the lobby, let's sit in the lobby," Lionel replied.
Hearing that, Josie was somewhat surprised. Blinking her beautiful eyes, she nodded with a smile and said, "Okay."
They ordered the two flavor hotpot. Because Josie liked to eat spicy food, but Lionel didn't like spicy food. Living together with him these days, Josie knew his preferences clearly. She put his favorite food in the pot carefully, as if a little wife was taking care of her husband. She was really happy to do this. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
"How is it? Good or not?" Josie asked Lionel.
Lionel smiled and said, "You are really good at finding a place to enjoy delicious food."
Although they sat in the lobby, there was a wood screen between the table and the table. There was a fish tank and water plants on the table. People around them were spacious and crowded. The hot air from the hotpot fell on the cold glass next to it, creating a white mist. The snow outside was falling profusely.
