Chapter 301 The Mysterious Man 13
“Everyone on the island was dead, and the murderer never showed up…” Speaking so, I couldn’t help but be stunned for a second, then came back to my senses, and said in surprise, “The murderer faked his death?”
Dennis raised his eyebrows and his finger slid on the tip of my nose, “You are not that stupid, after all!”
I…
After a pause, I still couldn’t figure out who the murderer was. I looked up at Dennis and said, “So, who is the murderer?”
At the end of And Then There Were None, the author didn’t seem to reveal who the murderer was.
Dennis laughed, “Think harder, babe. Who has the most resources and information?”
I pursed my lips and pushed him away, “Is it the judge?”
He nodded, his eyes darkened, and I was a little bit upset, “Dennis, you…”
“I’ve missed your body, baby. It’s been a while since we did it.”
“We just did it last night…”
“That wasn’t enough!”
I suddenly remembered that after the ligation operation, Dennis would have to take a break from our sex life for a while, he…
“Dennis, you have to rest for a month after the operation!” I pushed him away. But he wrapped me with his arms like a clingy rascal.
“I am feeling alright, so it doesn’t matter!”
I frowned and couldn’t help raising my hand to push him, “Are you not planning to have kids anymore? Let’s call Mario and double-check first.”
Seeing my firm attitude, there was nothing else he could do but sit beside me and call Mario Bennett.
After the call was connected, Mario said, “May I know what’s made you call me urgently in the middle of the night?”
Dennis was sitting so close to me, so I could hear every word Mario had said.
Dennis sank his face and said in a low voice, “What’s the impact of me doing it now?”
What an inexplicable question! Mario hadn’t figured out what Dennis was asking about at first, but then he realized, “What are you doing in the middle of the night that would make an impact?”
Dennis snorted coldly, “What do you think we would do in the middle of the night?”
Mario Bennett…
Mario was not stupid, so he figured out what Dennis referring to immediately.
Mario couldn’t help but pursed his lips, and said in an annoyed voice, “You can’t even hold it for a month, can you?”
I lowered my eyes, but my face was burning up a little.
I hadn’t thought of it at all before, but now I just figured it out.
Seeing my face turning red, Dennis said coldly to the phone, “Let’s cut to the chase, what’s the impact?”
“What side effect can it have? You should know better than anyone else how your body feels.”
Dennis George…
After a while, Dennis said, “I don’t feel anything unwell!”
“Of course!” Mario sneered.
Dennis got impatient and said, “I’ll hang up then if it’ll be fine.”
“Don’t forget to go into the hospital and run some checkups. I’ve reminded you now.”
“I know!”
Dennis hung up the call and threw his phone to the side. He was looking at with his profound eyes.
I…
After a brief pause, I looked at Dennis and said, “Why didn’t Mario come along with you on the business trip this time?”
He nodded, “Someone has to take care of the work there at the company.”
I nodded, hesitated briefly, and then said, “Did Uncle Andrew and his wife have a daughter?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
He frowned, staring at me with a meaningful look on, “Who told you about that?”
“No one. I am just asking.” Frankly speaking, I wasn’t trying to spy on his past. I had to ask only because I had had some doubts.
He hugged me in his arms, and his black eyes were a little deep, “Babe, let’s not ask about the past, okay?”
I nodded, got up, and went into the bathroom.
Why would Dennis never seem to be willing to tell me about the past between Mario and himself? He did not seem to care most of the time, except when he did seem to care a lot sometimes.
I came out of the bathroom and saw Dennis was talking on the phone on the balcony. His face was a little gloomy, I wasn’t sure if it was because of work.
Seeing me coming out, he explained a few more words to the other side of the phone and then hung up. He walked towards me and pulled me into his arms.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to take you to go shopping in a bit. There is a signing event at the company here. Would you like to go with me instead?”
I shook my head, “No, I’ll just have a good rest in the hotel. I may go back to Newton Town tomorrow.”
“What is it, babe?” He said in a low voice.
“Nothing!” After all, that I showed up here in Country M was just a spur of the moment when I had missed Dennis and would really want to see his face. Now that I had seen him, spent the night, and I had nothing else to do here, I should just go home.
Dennis hugged me, and said gently and softly, “Don’t run around alone in the future. Promise me, it won’t happen again, okay?”
I nodded and looked up at him, “When are you going back home?”
“After signing the contract at night, I will be heading back.”
I nodded. I had a minor headache, but I didn’t know what was wrong. Noticing the weird look on my face, Dennis frowned, “Are you okay, babe?”
I leaned on the bed, closed my eyes, and said, “I feel a little drowsy. I will just lie down for a while.”
Dennis was busy getting ready to go into the company for the contract signing, so he comforted me briefly and left. I lay on the bed for a while.
I was just about to fall asleep when the phone rang. I got woken up immediately. Picking up the phone, it was Jane Shaw, whom I had met at the airport.
“Hi, Clara, it’s me, Jane Shaw, do you still remember me?”
I nodded, realizing that she couldn’t see my movements across the phone, so after a pause, I said, “Yes, I do. Ms. Jane, how are you?”
“Are you available now? Would you be interested in having dinner with me? I don’t have any friends here in Country M, and my fiancé has been busy. I’ve spent the day alone and it’s so boring!”
I raised my eyes and looked out the window, it was already dark, and the clock on the wall showed eight o’clock in the evening.
If I fell asleep now, it was highly impossible for me to sleep until dawn – I might just wake up in the early morning.
After thinking about it, I said, “Um, I’m at the Clyde Hotel. How about you?”
As soon as Jane heard me agree, she said happily, “I’m in the winery. I will be on my way to you shortly. I’ll call you again when I arrive downstairs at the hotel.”
I nodded and said “Okay.” Then I said a few words briefly, hung up the phone, and got up. I came to Country M in a hurry, so I had brought no other clothes than the set of clothes I was on now.
I was a little repulsive to wear the clothes I had worn, and after thinking about it, I called Dennis.
Dennis picked up and said in a low voice, “What’s up, babe?”
Listening to the movement on the other end of the phone, I was stunned, “Are you in a meeting?”
He responded, “The contract signing meeting. What’s wrong?”
Worrying that I might be interfering, I said, “Nothing much, I just missed you. Go back to the meeting first, I will call you later!”
Just as I was about to hang up, Dennis said, “Don’t worry about it. I am listening. What is it, babe?”
I was stunned for a moment, and said, “Can you help get me some new clothes? I will be heading out to meet up with a friend in a while.”
“Sure!” Dennis spoke. After a pause, he continued, “Where are you going? And who is it that you are going to meet?”
