Please Love Me, Mr. George

Chapter 109 Dead End

Taking a glimpse of his furrowed brows, I added, “The crisis this time was nothing special but a

reshuffle you had planned for. You managed to get rid of those investors who failed to bear the loss

during those days. Then you made acquisition of the stock with low price. When the George Group

returns to normal, you can sell the stock with a higher price. By doing so, the stock value of the George

Group will be doubled.”

Since he was the executive of the group, he must have a clear understanding about it.

After hearing my speculation, he raised his brows, “Buy you are my wife, there is no reason for me to

make you take the risk.”

Hearing that, I couldn’t help sneering, “Dennis, you do deem me your wife?”

Among all those staffs in the George Group, only a few of them were his trusted follower—both Marcus

and Mario were his bosom fellows who had been through everything together with him. It was

impossible for him to let them take the risk. So I was left to be the best alternative.

“Clara, there was actually something far beyond our expectation. You are clever. But you aren’t

discerning enough to see through everything.”

His voice was mixed with fatigue. I could tell that he must be tired.

I responded with silence and leaned against the headboard to collect myself. Then I got off the bed,

“Get back to your work. I wanna take a walk downstairs.”

Nanny Daisy was cleaning the plants scattering around because of the heavy rain in the yard. Seeing

me walking downstairs, she smiled, “You have finally woken up. Are you still feeling sick?”

I shook my head and saw waxberries all over the ground, which were shaken off from the tree by the

rain. They looked red and mature.

I was feeling good as I had just recovered from the serious fever. I went into the parlor to get a basket.

Then I walked to stand under the tree and started to pick all the waxberries that I could reach.

Looking at the tempting waxberries, I couldn’t help but stuff one into my mouth.

“Hey!” I heard someone speak loud behind me. It was Dennis, who was actually one feet taller than

me. He walked over to me and grabbed the basket from my hand, “Watch the worms on the berries.

You can keep stuffing them in your mouth when they are unclean if you wanna get a diarrhea.”

While speaking, he handed the basket to Nanny Daisy, “Soak the berries into saline water.”

Nanny Daisy took the basket. She cast an ambiguous look at both of us. Then she left.

I raised up my head to look at the top of the tree, where there were some berries I failed to reach. I

looked at him, “Pick those berries on the top. It’s a waste if they drop a few days later.”

He took a look at me but didn’t reach out his hand to pick berries. He bent over and held me up before I

could react.

Then he carried me on his shoulder, “Sit tight. Don’t fall off.”

I teetered a bit and rested my hand on his head to steady myself. I couldn’t believe that he actually

lifted me high all of a sudden.

“Hey, pick the berries. Hurry!” his deep voice sounded.

I still teetered as I was suddenly lifted much higher. I paused and reached out my hands to pick all

those berries I could get.

But I paused again as I had no idea where to store the berries without basket. Suddenly, a trick popped

out in my mind. Then I stuffed those berries into Dennis’s mouth one by one.

As he needed to steady me tight with both hands, he could do nothing but to be stuffed with berries.

After taking a few berries, he said, “Daisy, get me the basket! I am stuffed with so many berries.”

“You said they would cause diarrhea, right? Take as many as you can. I would like to see if it’s true.” I

said while picking.

Nanny Daisy walked to the yard with basket. When she saw me sitting on Dennis’s shoulder, she

couldn’t help exclaiming, “God! Be careful! You are now five months pregnant. What if you fall off from

that height? Go get a ladder next time. It looks dangerous.”

Looking at her worried face, I placed all those berries I was holding into the basket, smiling, “It’s okay.

There are only a few left. Soon it will be finished.”

I picked the rest of those berries on the top. Then I said to him while holding his head, “Alright, get me

landed.”

Nanny Daisy said worriedly while carrying the basket, “Don’t you know how dangerous it was? Young

couple never learns!”

As Dennis had been doing workout, he easily held me onto the ground while grabbing my waist.

As I landed, I noticed the sweat on his forehead. I paused and giggled, “You are sweating? Am I that

heavy?”

He smiled and spat out the seeds of berries. He said while looking at me, “Don’t you think you are

heavy plus the baby?”

Hearing that, I couldn’t help touching my belly. I seemed to feel that it had been growing bigger.

His phone rang. So he took out his phone and walked out of the yard. I took the basket from Nanny

Daisy and entered the parlor.

I soaked those berries in saline water to clean them. Meanwhile, I couldn’t help gazing outside the

yard, feeling upset.

I could tell it should be a call from Olivia as he chose to answer it in a distance from me.

People tended to do stupid things when driven by bad mood. So did I. Then I deliberately overturned

the pot where berries were soaked inside.

As it sounded loud, Nanny Daisy hurried to run inside and saw berries scattering all over. She asked

worriedly, “What happened? Did you get hurt?”

I shook my head and looked at Dennis indifferently who rushed in. He walked to me and looked around

me. Then he let out a breath of relief when making sure that I was fine.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing!” I replied. Looking at the berries on the ground, I felt like losing my whim. I turned around to

get back to the bedroom.

I heard Nanny Daisy say in low voice from behind, “Mr. George, I suggest that you should take her to

the hospital someday. I feel that she seems to get ill.”

She was right. I got ill because of depression.

As I entered the bedroom, I still felt bad and awful. So I made a call to Diana.

She soon answered the call, “Clara!”

“How are you doing over there?” I tried to bring up a topic randomly.

Diana sounded quite excited while answering, “I am fine! You know what? Everything here is so

beautiful! The berries in the forest are all mature and taste really nice! I am gonna get you some by

delivery. Do remember to get my package.”

I could tell from his voice that she must enjoy her life there.

Probably affected by her happiness, I smiled, “Do you feel strong morning sickness? Is there any

symptom you feel really bad about?”

“No! I feel good.”

I could hear the wind blew through the phone. She might be in a mountain, I reckoned.

“The air is fresh here. I have got some plants in the yard, including some wild flowers I brought from the

mountain. They look wonderful! Come and see when you have time! I promise you will love it.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

I nodded instinctively. Then I paused as I realized she failed to see. So I nodded, “Of course!”

As I only talked little, she seemed to notice that I was in a down mood.

So she asked tentatively, “Clara, what happened?”

I found it hard to describe my situation. I paused and said, “Diana, I feel like being trapped in a dead

end.”
