Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 78

"Ms. Cornell, I have something to say, but I’m not sure if I’m supposed to say that." Suddenly, Armand's face turned serious.

I smiled and said, "Go ahead."

"Before you decide on something, I hope you will look before you leap. You don't want to regret it in the future, do you?"

Armand had always worn that indifferent look. I didn't know if it was my illusion or not. I felt that his words meant more than what he had said. It reminded me that Cheryl had once warned me to stay away from Kieran.

"What did you mean?" I looked at Armand and asked.

"Mr. Charles is not a good person. And he is by no means a philanthropist!" Armand answered after a pause.

Hearing that, I chuckled, "I know, Armand."

Kieran was an existence that was even more terrifying than a devil. Who in this world would take him for a philanthropist? Since he was not a great evil person, everyone in this world should feel lucky for that!

"Armand, thank you for reminding me that, but I know what I'm doing!" I took a sincere tone. In this world, I didn't have any friends. Davidson was my only family. Therefore, seldom people in this world had given me advice. If they didn't laugh at me or mock me, I would be grateful. However, I never thought that it would be Armand who came to offer me advice!

I was shocked and at the same time felt thankful.

Armand didn't say anything else. He was supposed to send me to the company by order of Kieran, but I asked him to take me to the Marlon Group directly. He did what I told him.

After I got off the car, I thanked Armand again. While gazing at the receding car, I curved the corners of the mouth upwards. Although Armand looked cold and hardly showed his emotions, he was a good man.

I retracted my gaze. Just as I was about to enter, I saw that Alicia also arrived and was with Marlon. Marlon gave the car keys to the security guard and gently he helped Alicia walk over.

My mind drifted as I saw the sweet scene, where Marlon treated Alicia, a pregnant woman so carefully. It suddenly occurred to me that I was pregnant myself. But I was a pregnant woman that nobody loved, concerned about, or even cared about.

But I would never let my baby end up like me. Never!

My determined eyes were filled with coldness. However, I showed them a smile. Alicia stared at me with displeasure in her eyes. But she smiled and said, "Rachael, why are you here? If you wanted to come, you could have told me and Marlon would take you. How inconvenient it was to take a bus!"

"Kieran sent someone to pick me up, so it's fine. See, it was faster than Mr. Redford's car!" As I spoke, I smiled faintly at Marlon. His eyes were pitch black as ink, and his face appeared cold, revealing no emotions.

Alicia looked embarrassed, but she managed to conceal it. "Mr. Charles is really nice to you. I envy you so much."

"Mr. Redford also treated you well. Alicia, you should cherish it. What if...." I stopped there and gave her a smile.

"Of course I will cherish it!" Alicia's voice suddenly grew louder. After she realized it, she quickly calmed down and continued to put on that hypocritical smile.

I witnessed how she controlled her emotions. Sometimes, I really admired the actress in her. She got that from her mother Shania and turned out a even better one! However, from now on, Alicia, no matter what kind of drama you wanted to put up, just bring it on!

"Rachael, you're here for the R&C Project, right? Then come to my office. We'll talk about it!" Alicia smiled at Marlon, then walked over. She intimately held my hand and was about to leave.

I grabbed Alicia's hand and resisted the force she exerted on me. I said, "Alicia, I think it'd be better to let Mr. Redford walk with you. If I hurt you later, he will definitely rip me apart. Right, Mr. Redford?" I smiled at Marlon.

Marlon stared at me with his dark eyes but didn't say anything.

Alicia laughed, "Rachael, how can I be so fragile? I won't fall so easily!" As she pulled me away again, I could tell that she hated my familiarity with Marlon. Seeing she was so reluctant, I, on the contrary, was interested to do the opposite. Otherwise, how boring would it be!

I pressed Alicia's hand onto Marlon's arm and smiled, "Mr. Redford, Alicia is pregnant now, you must be careful!"

Marlon still remained silent, but he did not reject it. Alicia shot me a fierce sidelong glance, but with her beaming face, she said, "Rachael, you really care about me!"

"Of course!" I replied with a sly smile.

Alicia, Marlon and I took the elevator to the office. As soon as the elevator door opened, Alicia immediately said, "Rachael, let's go talk in my office!"

I fixed my eyes at Alicia, sizing her up. I was wondering why she was so anxious and tried to avoid my contact with Marlon. I thought about it carefully and came to a conclusion. She was being possessive. Marlon was her boyfriend, the father of her future child. No woman would want her man to interact with other women. Besides, I had been with Marlon for four years.

However, if that was the case, I was pleased. No, I was thrilled!

Alicia appeared somewhat uneasy under my observation. Just as she was about to ask me to go to her office again, I said, "Alicia, you told me before about this project. You named it as R&C because it combines the first letter in the family names of you and Mr. Redford's. It represents the love between you two. Therefore, I think Mr. Redford must participate in this project as well. Mr. Redford, what do you say?" I looked at Marlon.

Alicia did not seem to expect me to say that. She hurriedly explained, "Yes, that's what it means, but Marlon is very busy...."

"I am in!" Marlon interrupted. Though his voice was cold and indifferent, Alicia and I did not miss a word. It was clear and resolute.

Alicia bit her lips with hatred, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

I said to Alicia with an ironic tone, "Alicia, Mr. Redford is really nice to you. He is so busy and still willing to take time to join us!"

Alicia managed a weak smile.

I followed Marlon and Alicia into Marlon's office. Alicia still tried to talk him out of it. "Marlon, if you're really busy, just leave it to me. I know you're being nice to me!"

I enjoyed Alicia's worried look quietly. Sitting on the sofa, I slowly said, "Alicia, since you know that Mr. Redford cares so much about you, you should cherish it and enjoy it. There are many women in this world who dream of having such a doting boyfriend. Appreciate it when you're embracing the happiness!"

Alicia turned around and glared at me, but she softly replied, "You're right. Being able to be with Marlon is a blessing that I have earned in the past several lives!"

Alicia's skill of saying sweet words really impressed me. If I were a man, I would definitely choose her.

"Alicia, before I came here today, I went to the hospital to consult the doctor for you. He said that pregnant women must be careful during the first three months. It's really easy to have a ... miscarriage!" I turned to Marlon and suggested, "Mr. Redford, for the sake of Alicia's health, I think she should go home and have a good rest during this period of time!"

"Rachael!" Alicia shouted.
