Chapter 47 She Was Looking at you “Yes.” “What’s wrong?” Alora nodded as she got some food. “It’s on the way.” “I’ll bring you guys along tomorrow.” The cold and aloof man gracefully picked up the food from her bowl and put it in his mouth. “I’ve collected all the road expenses.” “…” Alora. “Oh my god! Does that mean, tomorrow I can take a car with the legendary Mr. Rowan to Tong City?” After dinner, when Alora told Anne the news, Anne went crazy on WeChat. “I originally only wanted to be casual! Now it seems that I have to put on my most expensive clothes!” Alora sat by the window and secretly glanced at Samir from the corner of her eye. At this time, he was leaning against the bed and reading a book. The lamp shone on the side of his face, making the outline of his face more profound and charming. She pursed her lips and carefully replied to Anne, “You don’t have to be so exaggerated…” “Not at all!” “Alora, I am your best friend.” Anne sent an emoji of rolling eyes. “This is my first time meeting Mr. Rowan. I have to leave a good impression on him!” “Otherwise, he will think that you only have bitches like Celia and Truett around you!” Hearing her mention Truett and Celia, Alora’s mood inexplicably dropped. She text a few more words with Anne, then directly turned off her phone and climbed back to bed. “You don’t seem too happy.” Samir put down the book lightly and turned off the lights in the room. “No, I’m not.” There was only one bedside lamp in the room, which was very dim. “Celia is pregnant.” Alora looked at the ceiling with her eyes open. “So?”
He asked in a low voice. “I don’t want to hurt a pregnant woman.”
She closed her eyes. “Celia came to me again this afternoon.” “I think you are right. It is because I left them an impression that I am very weak and can be bullied at will that they are so unscrupulous with me.” “I want to become stronger. I want them to pay the price for what they have done…” “But Celia is pregnant,” she said with a long sigh. Five years ago, she had lost a child. Therefore, she knew very well what it was like to lose a child. It was clear how cruel it was to make a child unable to come to the world. The child was innocent. Because she had been hurt, she had no way to hurt another child who had not yet been born. “So what if she is pregnant?” “If they don’t cherish their child… then you don’t have to be soft-hearted.” Samir’s voice was faint, but there was no emotion in it. “Protecting the children is the duty of the parents, not yours.” His words made Alora silent for a long time. Protecting the children was the duty of the parents. After a while, she closed her eyes and silently grabbed the corner of the quilt. She… was an incompetent mother. Five years ago, she knew that her child would be born in less than a month, but she insisted on sending Truett to the airport. On the way to the airport, she had a car accident. The car accident was very serious. She had been in the operating room for a whole day and night before she woke up. The child was not saved, and she had lost more than a month of memory. When she had just lost the child, her despair and powerlessness… She could still clearly remember it now. This night, Alora had a dream. In the dream, there was a little girl who looked exactly like her, standing in front of her and crying. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Mommy, why didn’t you protect me?” “Mommy, I miss you so much. Why didn’t you come to me…” “Mommy, I really want to live with you…” Looking at the little girl’s tear-s Looking at the little girl’s tear- stained face, her heart was breaking. She chased desperately, but the little girl seemed to be far away from her. No matter how she chased, she could not catch her. Then she caught her in the end. She held the little girl tightly in her arms. “Mommy was wrong. Mommy didn’t protect you well…” “Mommy.” “Mommy.” At this time, two children’s voices came from behind her. Alora quickly turned around with the little girl in his arms. Behind them were James and Steve, whose eyes were filled with sorrow. The two brothers looked at her, tears silently falling. “Do you not want us anymore?” Alora was stunned. She held her daughter in one hand and reached out with the other to wipe away Steve’s tears. “Don’t cry, I want you.” “I want you!” “I want!” Alora sat up straight from the bed. The dream disappeared, and her body was covered in a cold sweat. She grabbed her collar and panted for a long time before her emotions gradually calmed down from that nightmare. Finally, she let out a long sigh of relief and lay back on the bed. But she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. Looking at the time, it was only six in the morning. After tossing on the bed for a long time, Alora finally decided to get up. When she went out, she passed by the study room. The door of the study was ajar.
The man inside the door was staring at the computer screen seriously. From time to time, a foreign language could be heard from the other end of the computer. He was in a meeting again. Alora pursed her lips. She remembered that he had once said that him staying up all night on his own for a meeting was better than having a dozen executives stay up all night across the coast. Standing at the door, she looked at the serious face of the man in the study room and listened to his decent French accent. Her heart inexplicably throbbed. Until… “Good morning, Mommy.” Until the sleepy James appeared in front of her. “What were you eavesdropping at Daddy’s study early in the morning?” The little fellow’s voice was not quiet. As soon as he finished speaking, the man who was speaking French in the study stopped. She pursed her lips and subconsciously looked inside the study. She just happened to meet his sharp and deep eyes. The man’s eyes were too dangerous, as if they could penetrate all of her thoughts. Alora panicked and quickly ran downstairs. Looking at her back, James smiled slyly. The little guy yawned and pushed open the door of the study room. Regardless of whether Samir was still in a meeting or not, he directly climbed onto his desk and sat down on it. He sat at the edge of the desk, his short legs dangling in the air, wearing small yellow duckling pajamas. “Mommy was eavesdropping at the door for a long time.” “I think she doesn’t know French and is not eavesdropping on the company’s secrets.” Samir glanced at him lightly and turned off the computer. “Then what was she doing?” “She was looking at you.” “Daddy, be more confident. Mommy was looking at you.” James rolled his eyes. “Why was she looking at me?” the man asked, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. “She might be thinking about when you will take her to Tong City.” James frowned and thought for a while. Samir, “…”
