Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 64

I didn’t notice the call because the phone was mute. As soon as Jackie answered, she said in anxious voice, “Miss Kennedy, bad news! Mr. Collins announced last night that he had asked most media reporters to attend the press conference through which he will publicize his relationship with you. Now the building of the George Group has been flooded with a horde of reporters and others expecting gossips.”

Publicize my relationship with her? Was he out of his mind?

I got up and pulled the curtain open. The sun shone brightly and I could see everything look good.

I shook off the sense of annoyance and answered, “Don’t worry, I won’t go to work today. After all, Luis should be sensible enough. I am sure he knows what to do.”

She agreed and continued to ask cautiously, “So are you still good with Mr. George?”

I nodded, “We are good.”

I went downstairs after hanging up. I looked around but I didn’t see Dennis, only to notice that Nanny Daisy was working in the kitchen. I walked over and asked, “Nanny Daisy, did Dennis leave?”

Nanny Daisy was a bit stunned when hearing my voice as she was being too attentive. She turned around and smiled when noticing that it was me, “Mr. George told me that he had something urgent to deal with so he hurried to leave. I have stewed some soup for you. Please have a taste. It should be good for the baby.”

I nodded and touched my slightly bulging underbelly. I felt like putting on some weight these days.

When I was having soup, I got a call from Diana. As I could tell from her voice that she sounded quite anxious, I stopped to ask, “What’s the matter? What happened?”

“I saw the headline! Don’t you think it has gone too viral? What if Leo notices that?” the possible reaction of Leo really worried both of us.

I would be quite distraught every time we mentioned about her.

“I will do my best to deal with it! Don’t worry. Just stay at home for rest during these days. Don’t hang out!”

I had no idea when Leo would come to Newton Town. So I had to stay under the shield of Dennis before he showed up.

I hung up the phone, got some food to eat and then went out. To my surprise, I bumped into Luna, who actually came here for me.

The Villa was located in an area rarely exposed to others. After we got married, only those both Dennis and I acquainted with knew the exact location.

Luna was dressing in an aqua blue fancy one-piece, looking elegant and gorgeous with a special-designed handbag of limited edition produced by Van Cleef & Arpels. Obviously, she showed what a privileged lady looked like.

I hesitated for a few seconds. Then I forced out a smile and walked over, “Mr. Thomas, I am so sorry for not having known that you will come.”

She replied with a smile and appeared to be kind and warm, “Never mind. I should apologize for my sudden arrival.”

The villa consisted of a front yard and a backyard. Dennis and I both lived in the backyard. While the front yard was decorated with a garden and a reception room for guests. So I led her into the reception room and asked Nanny Daisy to get some refreshment. Then I made some tea and looked at Luna, “Mr. Thomas, are you here to have a talk with Dennis?”

She shook her head and fixed her eyes on my hands while I was making tea. She replied warmly, “Miss Kennedy, I am here for you. By the way, your fair hands really attracted me.”

I smiled as a reply to her friendly greeting, “I am flattered. But I am sure yours look more perfectly cared.”

But I could tell that she wasn’t just here for such a daily chat with me. Then I took out the tea Dennis treasured the most. I smiled at her, “Dennis always has tea as daily routine but I don’t. So I am not sure if I could present the best part of the tea…”

She smiled decently and stared at the tea I was working on, “That should be among the vintage aging twenties years. It’s priceless. I am truly honored for tasting such nice tea. Thank you, Miss Kennedy.”

I smiled to reply, but still wondering what she was up for. After a few sips of tea together with her, I took the initiate to ask, “So Mr. Thomas, what actually brings you here?”

She took another sip, stared at me with her alluring eyes and said softly, “Nothing serious. You looked familiar to me after we met in L Community last time. So I fancy a visit to you.”

I was a bit stunned as I assumed that she should come for lecturing me because of what happened between Luis and me recently as his mother. However, I had never expected that to be her reason.

I refilled her cup with tea and smiled, “Mr. Collins told me the same thing before. He also deemed me familiar to him. But I don’t think there is anything special. After all, we might always look alike someone else in the world. Besides, it seems that I also look alike Miss Pearson. I suppose you know her, right?”

I said straightforwardly as I saw her with Olivia in the restaurant last time.

She paused, looking a bit surprised. But she still smiled, “You are right. So Miss Kennedy, how are your parents?”

I shook my head, feeling a bit confused, “My parents have passed away since I was a kid. I was raised by my grandma. So I don’t know much about them.”

“So how about your grandma?” she continued. But then she seemed to notice that she had probed into too much. So she explained, “Miss Kennedy, please don’t be mistaken. I am just being too curious. So I like to dig into some questions.”

While saying, she took out a delicate invitation card and handed it to me, “I will arrange a private banquet tonight. So Miss Kennedy, may I have the honor to see both you and Mr. George present?”

I took over the car and opened it to take a look. When I noticed it was an invitation for a birthday banquet, it suddenly occurred to me that Luis had mentioned the same thing to me yesterday.

I carefully put away the invitation card and said to her, “Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Thomas. That’s a great honor for me.”

She smiled and took a sip of the tea. After a pause of a few seconds, she looked at me, “Miss Kennedy, I heard that you have married Mr. George for two years. And I have seen both of you in L Community last time. So I assume you must be in a good relationship with him, right?”

I smiled but didn’t intend to answer as I still felt restrained while talking to her. The tea time lasted for a while. Then Luna left with an excuse.

Nanny Daisy asked as she saw her leaving, “Clara, were you talking to the richest lady in this city?”

I was rendered a bit surprised and looked at her, “Do you know her?”

She nodded, “She has been here before Master Freddy passed away. So I have seen her.”

She paused and then murmured, “She has been looking for so many years. I am afraid she might fail to see that kid for the rest of her life.”

I asked out of curiosity, “You know that she has been looking for her kid?”

“She has been here to talk to Master Freddy just to know about what happened twenty years ago. I happened to hear their conversation while serving tea for them. Master Freddy had been working on it during those years. However, it has been more than two decades. And there was nothing special shown on that kid. It’s really a mission impossible to get him among others.”
