Chapter 90 Stop Pretending
Chapter 90 Stop Pretending
"Behave well, baby. I'll go first." Amanda poked Maggie's flat stomach, which made her feel itchy. Maggie dodged and said impatiently, "Bye, I won't keep you here."
The whole Zhao family was in the living room when they saw Maggie walked her out with a smile on her face. They were still very concerned about her.
"It's late, Miss Amanda. Why don't you stay and have dinner with us?"
"No, thanks. I have something else to do." Amanda smiled and looked at Henry. He knew that she was going to bet on it, so he made a gesture to show her. Looking at her, Josie snorted with disdain.
"Maggie, are you hungry?" Emily asked with concern.
On the other hand, Maggie saw her off. She was relieved to see her get in the car and disappear in the darkness. At least Nicholas personally sent to the driver, there seems to be some respect for Amanda.
But if the An family valued Amanda, it was not all good. The An family had a deep relationship with the Gu family. Gu family would not marry her if she became the daughter-in-law of the an family for a long time.
She smiled slightly. Thinking of the meeting with Lionel last time, she knew that he was very fond of Amanda. As long as he was there, he wouldn't let Amanda be bullied.
"Come in. It's cold outside." Henry came over with a smile, "it's time for you to calm down now."
Maggie's face was sullen at first, but when she saw that he had changed his clothes and the bad haircut as still there, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. She quickly covered her mouth and said, "Henry, I suspended the war only because you dressed up well today. But I didn't forgive you."
"Don't mention it. Let's get inside and have dinner. All of the family are waiting for you." Said Henry.
Maggie felt embarrassed and came back quickly.
Amanda breathed a sigh of relief after she got in the car. No matter what happened, Maggie was finally willing to accept him. Although she also thought Henry was a cunning man, he was not a bad guy. Henry saved her for the first time, although she kept haunting him. It turned out that he had made a good contribution that the two met.
Back home, the lights in the room were on. Amanda came in and said, "let's wait patiently."
Darren was sitting in the living room. Listening to her voice, she was as happy as a butterfly. There was more anger in his eyes. He didn't say anything with a gloomy face.
Seeing that, Amanda explained with a smile, "There's an emergency. I'll do it right away."
She walked into the kitchen and found that the chopping board was clean. She shook her head and sighed, "You're too lazy. You haven't made any dumplings."
She washed her hands and put them on the table in a hurry. There were shrimp, egg and pork, carrot and peppery eggs with different fillings. After the dumplings are made, she cooked it in the pot and placed a plate of dumplings on the table. Then she shouted, "Dinner is ready. Come and eat."
Darren did not move.
He came over and asked, "what happened?"
"What do you think will happen?" Darren's voice was cold and terrible.
She only went out once, and there was no need to put on such a serious look. It was a pleasant atmosphere, so she explained patiently, "I did go out, but then I came back quickly."
"I should thank you for not starving me to death, right?" Darren said with a sneer.
Her lips thinned into a thin line, and the smile in her eyes faded away. She responded, "Darren, if I don't come back, will you starve?" You may choose to eat it or not. " She turned around and was about to leave, but her body was grabbed by Darren. Amanda shook his hand and didn't try to get rid of him. She looked up at Darren and saw his angry face. She didn't understand why he was so angry just because of a meal?
Looking at her cold eyes and the disgust on her face, Darren felt his heart ached. He turned and picked up her, grabbed her hands and feet, and threw her directly on the sofa. "You bastard! What are you doing?"
Bastard? She called him bastard every time when she was angry or in bed. He used to think it was unique, but then he thought that this woman would be gentle, only in front of Lionel.
What a touching story! A dumb, innocent girl met a man who pitied her. They had found their true love. There was nothing they could do for true love. What did she and Lionel do behind his back? She had a child with another man. Calculate from the time. It was not long after we got married. Amanda, you are really something.
Now he felt that the knife was stabbed into his body and every pore was painful. Darren was full of anger and his hand was more violent. He tore away the clothes of Amanda and found that Amanda was crying bitterly. When she saw Maggie carrying a baby, she always thought of her innocent baby.
Since her parents died, Sheryl had been her only family member. No one could understand how deeply Amanda was eager for family bond. How important it was to have a kid she could get along with.
She said she hated him and didn't want to marry him. Why did she still jump off the operating table? It was not because she was stupid, but because she was a mother's instinct to protect her child.
Amanda had always felt guilty for the lack of the ability to protect her kids. She had hesitated before. She was not sure whether she was sad or grateful. She and Darren's child had left the world, which helped her get rid of the suffering of the left and right.
But now, all she could feel was sorrow and grief about her failure as a mother, and the father of the baby was ravaging her madly.
"Stay away from me, Darren." Amanda reached out her hand and grabbed the fruit plate. Darren knocked the plate off and dropped it on the ground. Then he stopped and caressed his father's face as he asked, "Are you as enthusiastic as she is?"
"What?" She didn't feel right. Her tearful eyes were shining under the light. They were just like the clouds above the starry sky. She had a pair of beautiful eyes which always overlapped the beautiful eyes in her memory. And the way they looked at her eyes was always filled with hatred.
Darren smiled and said, "Stop pretending."
