Chapter 939
Just when he unlocked the safety lock of his car, Willy looked up and saw the light of a car appearing at the gate. He could also vaguely hear the sound of the brakes. Instinctively, he poked his head out and stopped. Then, he walked towards the gate.
Carney was also clearly shocked when he reached the gate. "Do you live here?"
That was an upscale neighborhood that even he couldn't afford. Since she had the ability to live there, why would she go and become a home tutor? The pay was only two hundred dollars a night. Was it even enough for her transportation fees?
With a faint smile, Lauren said, "Well, I'm just staying in my friend's house temporarily!"
When he thought of her situation, Carney immediately understood and he thought, "So that's why! No wonder! It's already a favor that she owes someone else. It wouldn't be nice if she still asked for money from them, even though this friend of hers might not care about money!"
After all, she was a good woman which is rare nowadays! She was not greedy for money, nor was she scheming something all the time. There was a huge difference between her and those women he knew!
As his gaze swept across her belly, Carney's good impression on her and the sympathy he felt for her that can be seen in his eyes suddenly increased.
"If you have any difficulties in the future, just let me know! I can still help with what I can! Lauren..."
It was the first time that she heard him called her name, so Lauren was obviously shocked and her gaze turned to him.
When their eyes met, Carney said seriously, "I hope that you'll treat me as a friend. I'll call you Laura in the future, and you can just call me Carney, all right?"
As he spoke, he extended a hand to her as a symbol of friendship!
Carney seemed to have seen his past self in her and was very sympathetic towards her! Of course, he subconsciously came to the conclusion that the child in her womb belonged to the man who had lied to her and put her in jail for his crime!
All of a sudden, an intense impulse arose in him. He wanted to protect this poor woman!
Nodding, Lauren shook hands with him and said. "Carney!"
However, she didn't think too much. After that, she just pushed the door open. "Antonio is still waiting for you. Go home soon! Thank you for sending me home. Drive slowly since it's dark at night!"
She rarely talked to others. On that day, Lauren was in a good mood. After getting out of the car, she even waved at him.
"By the way, happy birthday. It's a wonderful day, be happy! I'll see you off before I go in!"
Originally, he had wanted to say those words, but she beat him to the punch. Carney didn't insist anymore. He waved his hand at her and drove away. Willy walked near the gate. In the distance, he saw a flash of white light that was beaming...
Standing at the gate, Lauren took out the key to the small door, but her heart suddenly felt as if there was something heavy pressing on it.
The feeling of having to stay in someone else's place and being taken care of by them was not good! Even if she went out early and returned late every day, she still felt the same. However, her name had not been cleared yet, and she still needed him!
Although that kind of hope existed at the bottom of her heart, it was almost non-existent! Even if she was prepared to save herself from it, she would still need money!
After all, she still had to stay there and hold on for some days! It was because of his identity, the place was a safe shelter away from that scums for her!
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and got herself to buck up. Lauren turned her body and was ready to enter. It was at that moment that the gate slowly opened, and then a slender black figure came into her vision. There was a gloomy expression on his face, like a devil.
"Where did you go? Why did you come home so late?" She didn't even answer the phone! Didn't she know that he was extremely worried about her? As he spoke, Willy's gaze swept across the path in front of him subconsciously. However, at that moment, it was empty. There was nothing at all. Unconsciously, he frowned and took a step forward to take the bag from her hand.
"Well, nothing happened. I was working overtime!"
With her calm and indifferent voice, Willy suddenly stopped his movements. He raised his cold eyes and looked straight at her.
She was lying! He called the school to ask! She had already left!
Their gazes didn't meet. Lauren had already walked past him. As usual, her figure was as cold, sleek and lonely, like the only blossom in the cold
winter.
Turning sideways, Willy suddenly realized that she seemed to have returned to becoming the person back when they first met. She was so cold and quiet that she looked like someone from a different world. It was as if everything around her had nothing to do with her, and it seemed like nothing could affect her, or enter her own small world. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
All of a sudden, he panicked. He had a bad feeling about it.
Just like that, one in front and one at the back, they entered the house without saying a word. At that time, in the living room, the servants had not all left yet, but it seemed that nothing had anything to do with her from the beginning to the end. Lauren went upstairs without looking around, and there were no special reactions from her. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Behind her, Willy suddenly realized that whenever she passed by, the servants would naturally step back. No one greeted her, no one asked her anything, and no one followed behind her. They were completely the opposite of what he told them to do to take good care of her. Everyone's face looked like a
complete stranger. Content belongs

Naturally, Lauren did not know that the servants were still gathered in the hall so late at night as a result of them being fired because of her. As Willy was still standing close to her, the servants did not dare to rashly ask her for help. For a moment, the atmosphere was very awkward.
No matter how dumb he was, Willy still noticed something.
Following her upstairs, he closed the door. As soon as she put down her bag, she took a loose T-shirt she usually wore and went into the bathroom. He bought a lot of clothes for her, but it seemed that she had been wearing only that one recently.
In an instant, it was very clear that something was wrong. However, Willy could not figure out what was wrong, and his mood turned sour right away. The sound of running water could be heard, but Willy paused in a daze. He gazed at a corner and he didn't move for a long time. When Lauren came out, Willy held her in his arms. Almost reflexively, Lauren bent down and got out from his arms. Looking at him, her eyes were full of alertness and tension. Although that gaze disappeared after a split second, both of them clearly felt that the distance between them.
Willy's gaze deepened, and Lauren clutched the towel in her hand with a little annoyance. Her reaction was too big!
The next second, Willy leaned over and grabbed
her by the neck, "Are you avoiding me?"
Why? Why was it that suddenly, the two of them seemed to have turned back to what they were when they had first met?
What was going on? Was he too busy that he had neglected her lately? It seemed that something had changed between them!
"It's just that I'm still not used to it... I'm not used to doing stuff like this with men!" She hated men who were quick to switch sides the most! Furthermore, they had never gotten to know each other well!
At that moment, Willy had already left a bad impression on her!
