Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 69

How cruel it was to make a five-year-old girl jump down from the building?

She was keen to have a father, her longing for her father’s love had eliminated her fear. If there was no companion from a father, could the child grow up healthily?

She was gloomy and could not describe her depression.

Riley walked towards the café in the hospital after going out of the ward. She sat on the chair near the window, she could see the flourish French sycamore once she looked up.

“I don’t know how the woman thinks, she wants to abort her five-month-old baby! There is a baby boy in her womb, it is a pity to abort him! Furthermore, she almost reaches 30 years old, it is difficult for her to get pregnant again.”

“During her last check-up, she said that she will give birth to the baby. But she changes her mind suddenly, I think it must be related to the man. I hear that they will divorce soon. Even if the child is born, she cannot get custody as well. It is better not to give birth to the baby, then she does not have to suffer the bitterness of missing her son.”

“Many people give birth to baby in our department every day. Some will undergo abortion, the scene is full of sorrow and joy, separation and reunion, it looks like a drama. Obstetrics and gynaecology department is indeed an amazing place.”

“Let’s go, a lot of works to do today.”

The two doctors walked away after buying the coffee. Riley held the cup tightly and forgot to stir it.

Every child needed a father, the child in Lydia’s womb was not exempted. If she did not divorce Euan, Euan could not marry Lydia, the child would lose one of the parents.

It was unfair to the child.

The child was innocent…

So, she had to divorce Euan as soon as possible for the sake of the child.

Riley teased herself and smiled at her shadow that reflected on the window. She hated being a pushover, she did not expect herself to do the same thing as her.

The waiter served her a cup of coffee, Riley wanted to hold it but it was too hot. She quickly got back her hand and held the handle of the cup. She blew and sipped the coffee.

She scrolled her phone, there was no missed call and message. Euan indeed did not care about her.

Divorce was the best choice.

After getting off work and going home, Lydia was scolding Sophia and Lilah in the living room. Her words were unpleasant and sarcastic, she did not even look like a daughter of an eminent family. She was even ruder than the vulgar women.

“This is made of silk! Prada limited edition silk scarf! How can it be washed using the washing machine! You don’t get in touch with valuable thing before, isn’t it? You are as cheap as your master!”

“And you, I want to have white lotus soup with lotus seed, why you put so many sugar? You want me to die of eating sugar, isn’t it?! Don’t you know that consume too much sugar will cause obesity? Don’t you have some general knowledge? Why you stupid will be hired?!”

“Pick up the shells of the sunflower seeds on the rug one by one! This is the Persian rug, cannot use a vacuum cleaner on it, use your hand to pick them up one by one! If any part of the rug is broken, you all will not be able to pay for it even if you work for ten years!”

Lydia ate the sunflower seeds in the living room purposely and threw the shells on the rug. The rug was made of soft shag material. It was difficult to pick up things from it, she asked the maids to pick them up. Sophia and Lilah did not dare to disobey her, they could not help but kneel on the rug and picked up the shells.

Riley put her shoes on the shoes rack in the hallway. She raised her head and saw a pair of bright red high heels on the tidy Caspanitino shoes rack. Lydia was obviously grabbing the dominant role and straight away treated herself as the hostess!

Riley took her shoes and wanted to throw them out but after she thought for a while, she put them at the lowest rack.

In the living room, Lydia stood under the giant chandelier, the bright crystal light made her skin look fair and bright.

“Sophia, Lilah, what are you doing? Although the rug was comfortable, you have to get up, right?” Riley put down her bag and said naturally.

Sophia looked at her timidly, “Young mistress, it is…Ms Saunders who asked us to pick up the shells of sunflower seeds.”

“Really? Who is blind that threw shells onto the rug? Whoever did it should pick them up by herself. Sophia, pour me a cup of tea.”

Lydia crossed her arms in front of her chest and walked towards her, “Riley, Euan does not want to come home because of your disgusting behaviour. How dare you come back!”

Riley asked Sophia to pour tea before responding to her, “Lydia, your sarcasm is useless to attack me, don’t waste your time. For Euan, you should think about the reason why he does not want to come back.”

After saying that, Riley sat on the sofa, “Lilah, don’t pick anymore.”

Lilah did not dare to get up, “Young mistress, it is…not clean yet.”

“No need, throw it away, it has become a dirty rug.”

Lydia scolded furiously, “It is taken from the Saunders family, Riley, how dare you! Do you say that the stuff from the Saunders family is a dirty rug? Then, how about your Watson family? Created false account and evade taxes, your younger sister often created a scandal, your family is so good!”

Riley looked at Lydia’s stomach, she held the teacup to conceal her sourness, “Watson family is indeed worse than Saunders family, so what? You have Saunders family to support you, so what? You are still unable to marry into the George family!”

“Riley, your words are so vicious! It serves you right that Euan does not love you, he does not even inform you that he is away from home! He he, you must not know where does Euan go, what is he doing and when does he come back!”

She indeed did not know about it, “You know it?”

Due to her concern, she did not know whether she was creating trouble for herself and straight away followed the topic.

Lydia was arrogant, she wore a suit of tight dress. Even if she only stayed at home, she would dress herself up as if she was cat-walking. Her make-up remained flawless from morning until night, she was ready to be stalked by the paparazzi and to allure man.

She passed by the rug and sat on the sofa, she crossed her thin and long legs, “Of course I know, Euan informed me during the first day he went out, he asked me not to worry about him and to take good care of our baby. Today, he tells me via the phone that I can do whatever at home and make this house mine. Euan is so lovely, he will concern about me even if he is busy, I’m afraid that he will dote on me badly.”

Euan did not inform anyone when he left, it was Lydia who called him frequently and asked him. Euan was sicked of her, he could not help but respond to her.

For today, Euan picked up her call after Lydia called him many times.

Lydia could feel that Euan did not treat her well recently. She used the child as an excuse to remind and force him to concern about her.

But his concern did not involve any gentleness.

Riley’s heart was breaking. All in all, she did not hold a position in Euan’s heart, he would not treat her as his wife.

He concerned more for Lydia than concerned about her. He treated Riley dominantly, not gentle at all.

Her heart was cracking, she was depressed, her tears almost fell but she controlled it, “That’s great.”

After finishing her words, Riley walked upstairs, the spiral staircase connected to the second floor. Riley walked up a few staircases——

Was there any love existed between Euan and her?

Did Euan love her even for one day, one minute or one second?

“Riley, your bedroom is downstairs! Why do you go up? If you jump down from there and become handicapped, you will not want to leave here, right?”

She was absent-minded when thought of Euan, she did not notice that she had walked up the stairs and being satirized by Lydia instantly. Riley did not turn her head and responded, “I am walking to the study room. Don’t worry, I will not step into the room if your belongings are put there.”

Lydia sat on the sofa, she raised her head and teased her, “Then you will not have the opportunity to go in forever! Hum, study room? You fake for what? He he, I nearly forget that Dr Watson is failed to become a professor, are you going to study hard for your second attempt? Ha ha, it is useless, your personality and reputation are bad. Do you still want to be a professor? Look at your pattern first!”

Riley pressed the handrail with her fingers, the hard wood was almost broke by her, “Lydia, have you finished talking? Shut up your mouth if you have finished talking! I don’t want to quarrel with you and fight with you, you better take care of your womb nicely, then we will be safe and sound.”

That night, Riley could not sleep well. She got up and opened the window of her bedroom balcony, she sat on the chair. The summer wind caressed her face and blew the thin curtain and her silk pyjamas. The night was alluring, no one was fond of her beauty.

At the moment, she missed him, she missed him so much! She missed his arms, strong yet indifferent arms but she knew that they would be totally separated one day.

Her phone did not show any of his missed calls and messages.

What reason could she use to call him? She would disturb him if she called him, wasn’t it?

She looked powerful in the day while she was totally depressed in the tranquil night. Riley knew that she was nothing but a fake superwoman.

To force herself to sleep, she turned off her phone and pulled the flannel curtain that can block the light. She adjusted the air-conditioner temperature higher, covered herself with the blanket and slept soundly.

However, she did not know that Euan who was faraway in City A could not sleep well. It showed “power off” of the incoming call.

Euan turned around and left the balcony. In the VIP suite of the Hilton Hotel, a straightened silhouette was shaking a wine cup.

He found that after he left her, he could not sleep well if there was no alcohol to hypnotize him.

But for the woman, she must sleep well when he was not around, right?

Euan took his phone again, he called her but only the robot sound was heard, “Sorry, the number you dial is unavailable…”

Just then, Lydia called him.

Euan was annoyed when looked at her name, he frowned and flipped his phone, did not want to care.

No one picked up her call, she kept calling him. Finally, Euan was upset and picked up her call, “Riley, what do you want?”

Lydia who was lying on the bed was dumbfounded!

Euan froze his words and movement, he blurted out her name just now?

Oh shit! What was he thinking?

“Euan, Riley that annoying woman disturbs you again, isn’t it? She does not know her identity well…”

“Lydia, if I hear you scolding her again, you must get lost immediately.”
