Can't Let Go

Chapter 145 Love Affair

It was 7 00 p.m.

Michael received George and Kui in his own five star hotel.

They hadn’t seen each other for years, and George had changed a lot.

He looked more melancholic.

Michael was a little surprised. Such expressions and eyesights shouldn’t have appeared at his

age.

What on earth had he experienced?

“Eat more, honey!” George’s melancholic look didn’t become gentle until he saw Duoduo.

Duoduo had been stuck on him since George was received in the airport.

He had even forgotten his Dad.

He wouldn’t leave George whatever he did.

Michael felt a little jealous on seeing their sweet acts.

But Linda got used to it. For the past three years, Uncle Nianguang was the only one around who

treated Duoduo wholeheartedly.

For him, Uncle Nianguang was irreplaceable.

Naturally, George also liked him a lot. He had been holding Duoduo in his arms since he was

received in the airport. His eyes were filled with tenderness.

“Eat more!” Michael broke the ice and said.

Kui had been dining in silence. She was not used to dining with people with high social status like

Michael. This put her under pressure.

George remained silent all the time. His eyes were fixed on Duoduo. He had been taking care of

Duoduo all the time as well.

On seeing it, Linda helped George to a dish and said “Nianguang, don’t take care of him any

longer. He can eat on his own.”

George said with a smile “It’s all right. I ate a lot on the plane. I’m not hungry at all.”

“Duoduo, help yourself to it, OK? Uncle Nianguang is still hungry!” Linda knew that it was of no use

to persuade George, so she might as well try to persuade Duoduo.

“Uncle Nianguang, I’ll eat on my own. Come on and eat something!”

Duoduo sat properly in an obedient manner at once. He took up a spoon and wolfed down.

George touched his head with a smile, and started to move his chopsticks.

Then, there came a long time of silence.

“Well, I, I’m full, Duoduo, why not go out and have fun? I can see there is a children’s playground

in the hotel!” Kui was not accustomed to dine on such occasions. She would rather stay in food stalls.

Duoduo’s eyes were instantly brightened on hearing children’s playground.

“I’m full.”

He hastened to gesticulate, and then slipped off the chair.

Kui quickly held him up and looked at the three people “Well, you can take your time and I’ll take

Duoduo out.”

After it, she left in a hurry.

“How was your life for the past three years?” Michael ped the wine cup, looked at him and

inquired.

George’s hand that was picking up food stopped for a while. Then he looked at Michael

apologetically.

“Sorry, I screened your cellphone number, and refused all of your messages for exploring Nian ...”

“It was Nian who asked you to do it, right?” Michael showed an understanding smile, which was

somehow bitter and helpless, “She can be so stubborn sometimes. She must have threatened you!”

George was stunned slightly, and didn’t know what to say.

“Right, it was me!” Linda looked at Michael, but she moved away her eyes when she saw the hurt

look in his eyes.

Michael didn’t push any further on this problem, as long as she was back now, nothing else

mattered.

George lowered his head and smiled on seeing the unusual looks exchanged between them. He

didn’t talk again.

This meal was a little depressing.

After a long while, George ped his chopsticks.

“I’m full.”

Yu Nian stood up “Let’s go and see Duoduo.”

George nodded, and walked ahead of them.

Michael was just about to approach Linda when his cellphone suddenly rang.

He took it up and looked, it was from the landline phone at home.

He knitted his eyebrows slightly and hesitated for a few seconds, but still picked up the phone.

“Hello...what? OK, OK, I see. I’ll go back soon!”

Michael hung up the cellphone. He hastened to come up to Linda, took her wrist and said

anxiously “My mom is in hospital, I have to go back.”

Linda was a little stunned, Qu Zhirong was hospitalized?

“I’ll call you soon.” With it, he looked at George “I’ll go to the hospital, and leave Nian to you. I’ll

come back soon!”

George hastened to nod “OK, take care!”

Michael looked at Linda. He was reluctant to leave her but he didn’t ask her to go with him.

Since he knew that the relationship between his mom and Nian.

He rushed downstairs.

It was 11 o’clock in the night.

Kui was back to home.

Duoduo was asleep.

Michael wasn’t back yet.

George had nowhere to go.

Three years ago, he sold the house in Austral City. Today, he hadn’t booked any room here.

“Nianguang, just stay here for tonight!” Linda couldn’t help saying that on seeing Duoduo held on

his arms in sleep.

George looked at the room and frowned “Isn’t it a little inconvenient for me to stay over here?”

“It doesn’t matter. The sofa in the room is rather larger. I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight, and you can

sleep with Duoduo.” With it, Linda opened the wardrobe.

There would always be a spare quilt in the wardrobe of a premier suite.

Therefore, Linda held the quilt over and put it on the sofa.

George pulled out Duoduo’s hand lightly, and then, he got up and came up to her “How can you

sleep on the sofa? Sleep with Duoduo, and I’ll sleep here!”

Linda frowned “You’ve been on the airplane for so long, don’t contend with me, otherwise,

Duoduo will cry again when he wakes up later!”

With it, she pushed him to the bed.

On seeing it, George didn’t insist any longer. He looked at Linda and said “Then I’ll wash myself

simply!”

“OK!”

Linda made the bed on the sofa, and then poured herself a cup of tea.

The next second, she sat down, took out her cellphone and looked at it.

Half an hour ago, he called her and said he might not make it back home tonight, and had to stay

in the hospital overnight.

What on earth happened to Qu Zhirong, now that she was in hospital now?

Linda heaved a sigh and put away her cellphone. She wanted to go to the window sill and enjoy

the breeze.

But at this moment, George’s cellphone rang.

Linda was startled. She was afraid that Duoduo would be woken up, so she walked over, took up

the cellphone and picked up the call “Hi, there...”

————

15 minutes later, George walked out.

“Duoduo isn’t awake yet, is he?” Mo Niganguang looked at her and inquired.

Linda looked at him, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

“What’s up?” George discerned something wrong with her, so he walked over.

“No...nothing. I’ve been missing you a lot since I haven’t seen you for a long time.” With it, she

went up suddenly and threw herself on him at once.

George was surprised with her sudden behavior. His hands stopped in the air and he didn’t know

what to do.

“Nianguang, you’ll stay with me all the time, and watch Duoduo as his growth, right?”

“Idiot!” George reached out his hand and rubbed her beautiful hair “Of course, I’ll stay with you,

and everything will be OK. What’s wrong with you?”

Linda held his waist tightly and shook her head “Nothing, I just want to hold you like this.”

George smiled and said “How old are you? Your behavior just like a spoiled child. Enough is

enough!” He pushed her away lightly and said with a smile “If Michael sees it, he’ll be jealous again!”

Linda looked at him and her eyes felt so dry that her vision was gradually blurred.

“OK, OK, OK, I won’t scold you again. Don’t cry!” George hastened to hand her a tissue, wiped

away her tears gently while saying with a smile “You are a mom, how can you cry so much!”

Linda smiled through tears “I’m a young mother!”

“Well!” He nodded, and then rubbed her head showing great pity, “To me, you are my little sister

forever!”

“Um, Nianguang, go to sleep now! By the way, I have just poured a cup of warm water for you, and

put it on the bedside. Don’t forget to drink some water before sleep!”

“OK!” George smiled, “Then I’ll go to rest first!”

“OK!”

“Stop woolgathering, go to bed early, and he’ll surely come tomorrow morning, you see?” George

started to pacify her since he believed that she was thinking of Michael.

“OK, you should also go to bed now, I get it!”

Linda hastened to wave her hands with a smile.

On seeing this, George nodded and took the bag he always carried with him in the bedroom. Then,

he closed the door.

The smile on the corner of Linda’s mouth disappeared when she saw the door closed.

The phone call just now was from France.

It was a private Chinese shrink.

He dinned her to remind George to take medicine on time and refrain from being irritated.

She should pay closer attention to his recent development, since...

His depression got worse.

He even confided that he had thought about committing suicide before returning to China.

He asked her to take him and see the world and help him to straighten out his muddled thinking,

so that he wouldn’t feel too upset and stressed out.

Linda was scared. Three years ago, George’s company in France grabbed another company’s

business, which angered its moral person. In the end, he killed George’s parents with a gun like mad.

This also made George blame himself too much and become inflicted with depression ever since.

Linda looked at the door. She was scared, really scared that George would also leave her like

Uncle Meng...

No.

She would not allow any relative to disappear by her side again!

————

The next day.

This night, George and Duoduo had a sound sleep.

But Yunnian didn’t sleep well. She had been having nightmares all night long.

“Mom, Uncle Nianguang says he’ll take me to the amusement park today!” Duoduo was extremely

excited early in the morning.

Linda looked at George, and then she looked at Duoduo and said with a smile “OK, let’s go to the

amusement park!”

“Yeah! Hooray!”

The three persons washed and rinsed themselves quickly. George held Duoduo, and Linda

opened the door with a smile.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, countless journalists flooded in.

In a moment, various flashing lights kept shooting.

Duoduo had never seen such scenes, he was so scared that he burst into tears at once.

“What are you doing?” Linda reproached these mad journalists sternly.

“Ms. Yun, does the child belong to Mr. Mo and you?” A journalist inquired at once.

“Yes, Ms. Yun, are you having an affair now?”

“Ms. Yun, this child must belong to Mr. Mo, was he born abroad? Was he born with IVF

technology?”

George pulled a long face. He hastened to hold Duoduo fast, walked ahead and said sternly “If

you keep making such irresponsible remarks, you’ll be investigated for legal liabilities!”

The journalists were struck dumb, but said presently “Irresponsible? We are quite responsible.

The video of your having love affairs stealthily has been transmitted online like mad for a long time, Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

don’t you know that?”

Linda was in a trance and stupefied.

Meanwhile, George was also stupefied.

At this moment, a journalist hastened to start his cellphone and showed it to them “Look, wasn’t

that you at this same hotel? Wow, do you want to relive the feeling of love affair?”

Linda stared at the video, and her whole face became stern.

This video...

Wasn’t it Mary making love with George by pretending to be her in the video three years ago?

Why, why would it appear online suddenly?

She was a little anxious, and hastened to turn around her head and look at George.

But she found that George was also fixing his gaze on the video rigidly.

His face became paler and paler gradually...
