Chapter 133 – The White’s Mother Comes to the Door
“I know, but then Baird would surely hate me.” Christine White replied with hollow eyes.
Aunt Lucy was going to say that she wouldn’t, but when she thought of Baird Lane’s nature, it was too much for her to say.
“Ma’am, what are we going to do?” Aunt Lucy asked with a sigh.
Christine White took a deep breath and allowed herself to barely muster up a shred of energy, “I don’t know, just let it go, soldiers come and go.”
“That’s all there is to it, but ma’am, you must be careful, that Molly Bort woman, she’s not one to be dealt with, that woman has a poisonous heart.” Aunt Lucy admonished.
Christine White nodded, “Well, I will.”
She let go of Aunt Lucy and got out of Aunt Lucy’s arms.
“Come on ma’am, go down to dinner and don’t think too much.” Aunt Lucy smoothed the hair around Christine White’s ears.
Christine White smiled and followed her down the stairs.
After lunch, Christine White sat on the couch to kill time while watching TV.
At that moment, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside the villa.
Christine White lowered the volume of the TV and listened carefully for a few seconds, and when she realized that it was the sound of Baird Lane’s usual car, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes, and then she hurriedly put down the remote control and got up to go to the door to greet her.
“Baird, you’re back.” Christine White greeted the man getting out of the car with a contained smile.
The man, however, didn’t give her a good look, “I heard from Gates that you’re not feeling well today?”
Christine White’s eyes flickered slightly, “Yeah.”
“Get in.” Baird Lane pulled open the car door.
Christine White was slightly startled, “Going somewhere?”
“Hospital.” Baird Lane slowly spat out two words, “I thought you weren’t feeling well, I’ll take you to the hospital for a checkup.”
“I’m not going!” Christine White blurted out without thinking.
The fact that she reacted so dramatically aroused Baird Lane’s suspicion, he narrowed his eyes, “Not going?”
“Well … It’s just a minor health problem I have, I don’t need to go to the hospital for a checkup.” Christine White said sheepishly.noveldrama
If she goes to the hospital, her pregnancy will be exposed.
How was she going to surprise him then.
That’s why hospitals are a no-no for her!
“Christine White!” said Baird Lane, letting go of the car door and fixing her with a cold stare, “Are you sure you don’t want to go?”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White nodded.
She was sure of it.
Baird Lane suddenly sneered, “Christine White, I see you’re lying again, aren’t you?”
“What?” Christine White’s expression froze.
Baird Lane wrapped his arms around him, “Two days ago you took a leave of absence, the reason was also that you didn’t feel well, and you ended up accompanying a friend, and today you took a leave of absence again, same excuse, I came back specially to take you to the hospital and you refused to go, what is it that you are not lying?”
“I …” Christine White’s mouth dropped open, but she couldn’t retort.
He was right, she did lie.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t feeling well today, she had overslept.
It was just this that she didn’t dare to say, he would definitely be more angry if she said it.
Baird Lane looked at Christine White with her head down and couldn’t answer, her face became even more ugly, “I got it right didn’t I Christine White, if you didn’t want to go to work you could have told me, there’s no need to play this game!”
“No Baird, I want to work just because …”
“Because of what?” Baird Lane held her eyes.
She bit her lip, wanting to speak several times but still unable to answer.
Just when she was so anxious that she didn’t know what to do and hesitated to tell the truth, Aunt Lucy came out from the villa, “Mister, don’t blame madam, this matter of taking time off from work today, it’s not madam’s fault, it’s me who called Gates, and it’s me who told Gates that madam wasn’t feeling well.”
“Aunt Lucy …” Christine White looked at her accusingly.
Aunt Lucy smiled weakly, “It’s okay ma’am.”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White nodded.
Baird Lane coldly watched the exchange between the two, “Why did you give her leave? And to take time off with such lies!”
She could take a vacation if she wanted to, it wasn’t like he wouldn’t approve.
Even when she was not sick and said she wanted to rest at home for a day, he allowed her.
But he couldn’t accept that she lied, that one time wasn’t enough, but two times!
“Sir, I am not lying, and neither is the missus,, I gave the missus leave of absence, it is true that the missus was unwell, and it was you, sir, who caused this.” Aunt Lucy looked at Baird Lane.
Baird Lane frowned, “Me?”
“Yes sir you left without a word last night, not even an explanation, the missus has been worried about you, after you left she stayed up until dawn when she took a nap, do you think it was your fault sir?” Aunt Lucy accused.
Baird Lane’s thin lips twitched slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end said nothing and turned to Christine White, “You’ve been up?”
Christine White lowered her eyes, “Well, couldn’t sleep.”
“How could the missus sleep, and really you sir, if you were leaving couldn’t you have told the missus where you were going?” Aunt Lucy looked exasperated.
Baird Lane pursed his lips.
In the middle of the night last night, he got a call from the hospital saying that Molly was not in the right mood and was still refusing to be treated.
Worried about Molly, he decides to go over and check it out. He was going to go quietly, but he didn’t realize that he woke up Christine White.
He didn’t know why, but when she asked where he was going, the first thought that came to his mind was to avoid the question, which was why he didn’t say anything and just left.
“Okay Aunt Lucy,” Christine White tugged on Aunt Lucy’s arm, signaling her to stop.
Aunt Lucy didn’t dare to really blame Baird Lane too much, just for fear of pissing him off and making him take it out on Christine White, so when she heard Christine White’s words, she immediately kept quiet.
“Baird,” Christine White let go of Aunt Lucy’s arm and smiled at Baird Lane, “I’m all right now, and I’ve had a short break in the morning, so I’ll be going to work this afternoon.”
“No, you can just rest at the cottage.” Baird Lane pulled open the door and got in the car.
Christine White saw this and rushed over to pick at the car door, “Baird, are you leaving again?”
Baird Lane looked at her, “I only came back to take you to the hospital, since you’re fine I’m going back to the office, do you have anything?”
Christine White let go, then shook her head again, “It’s okay, you be careful on your way.”
“Uh-huh.” Baird Lane answered, started the car and left.
Christine White looked away from the car for a long time without withdrawing her gaze.
Aunt Lucy looked on in pain, “Ma’am, stop looking, it’s long gone by now.”
“I’m actually tempted to ask him why he suddenly backtracked on his words after saying he wouldn’t see Molly Bort anytime soon, only a few days after he did it.” Christine White said despondently.
Aunt Lucy sighed, not knowing what to advise her, “Mrs. …”
“I’m fine.” Christine White turned to me, her eyes red.
“You’re crying, ma’am?”
“I’m not crying!” Christine White wiped the corners of her eyes, stubbornly refusing to admit it, “I just got my eyes blown out.”
“Yes, yes, yes, there’s just been a huge gust of wind.” Aunt Lucy cried and laughed, knowing she was telling a lie and not breaking her down.
Christine White huffed, “Aunt Lucy, let’s go inside.”
“Okay, I’ll hold you up.” Aunt Lucy helped her into the cottage and then went off to the kitchen to warm up some milk for her.
Christine White picked up the remote control on the coffee table again and continued to watch TV, but after earlier, she couldn’t watch much of the TV program in front of her even if it was good.
“Christine White!” came a sudden bellow from outside the villa.
At the sound of the familiar voice, Christine White rose from the couch in shock.
“Ma’am, who’s here?” Aunt Lucy came out from the kitchen with milk and apparently heard the bang just now.
Christine White’s throat was a little dry, “My mom.”
Aunt Lucy was also startled for a moment, “What’s she doing here?”
What do you think?
