Love You Can’t Say

For a short second, the carriage fell into dead silence.

Bette’s voice was clearly playing it cool, but whether it was to put Toby at ease or to confuse the wolves that were guarding the house at the moment was yet to be seen.

“Don’t be afraid.” Toby fiercely squeezed the phone tighter, the rearview mirror just right to illuminate his hardened side, “I’ll be right back.”

Hanging up the phone, Toby instantly stepped on the gas pedal, staring at the red light numbers with full concentration, and only after a moment did he remember that I was still sitting in the back of the car, turning his head and saying expressionlessly, “Sorry Mrs. George, I can only deliver here, please get off.”

Since I heard it, I have no reason to stand by and watch, “Everything is because of our couple, I will go with you.”

Toby’s brow sunk deeper, “I’m sorry Mrs. George, I didn’t mean anything else, but I personally think things would have been much easier if you hadn’t shown up.”

A feeling of being distrusted runs through my body, and I am at a loss for words, not knowing what to say to express my good intentions.

In these two seconds of stalemate, Toby had already made the decision for me first, getting out of the car and opening the door close to me without hesitation, in a tone that brooked no argument, “Mrs. George, please.”

I did not want to be a spectator who cleared his own snow, a motionless confrontation with his gaze, refused to get out of the car.

By now the green light had come on, and the cars in the back row kept honking their horns, signaling us to give way, making the already noisy city look even more chaotic.

Toby’s face, which was the same as Dennis’, finally showed a hint of urgency in the long stalemate, “Mrs. George has forgotten those three slaps! If you still have regard for the old friendship, please buy some time for my wife and children, can you!”

Yes, in a way, without me, Olivia would never have found the opportunity to humiliate Toby like that.

Toby’s eyes and the tip of his nose were flushed with varying degrees of red due to excitement, and looking at his face, my mind suddenly flashed to the image of Leo being beaten.

This moment I sobered up and realized that I could not afford to have anyone hurt more deeply because of me, and almost immediately took something and went down from the car, the suddenness of the action, the Toby were startled.

His face was stunned for a second, and then he nodded solemnly, “Thank you.”

After saying that, the door closed with a bang and after getting into the car, the car was quickly started and disappeared into the traffic in a short while.

Toby has been with Dennis a lot longer than I have, and Dennis won’t see anything happen to him.

Let’s hope so.

I stood by the side of the road, silently praying for Toby’s family.

Unconsciously lost in thought, the mind is Dennis these days a different look, unsympathetic, cold-blooded, self-righteous … Such and such, really not my favorite look, but somehow, I just can not hate up.

Ten years to cultivate the same boat, a hundred years to cultivate the same sleep, Dennis and I sleep in the same bed so many years as a couple, will there be telepathy?

If so, all those emotions attributed to selfishness and sentimentality can be explained.

On the way back by taxi, the uneasiness in my heart grew stronger and stronger, from the performance of Benjamin’s group, things are far from over, if even Toby is implicated in revenge, what about the people closer to me and Dennis?

Thinking of this, the whole person instantly sobered up and immediately called Luna and Link to make sure that everyone was safe and sound, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

When it was almost dark, I was worried about the situation on Toby’s side, so I put in a hard call.

Surprisingly, the call was answered immediately, but Toby’s voice sounded a bit strange, “Mrs. George, what’s up?”

I could feel an overwhelming atmosphere and lowered my voice to ask, “How are Bette and the baby?”

“All good.” Toby blurted out, as if he was afraid I would continue to pester him, and hastily made excuses to dodge, “The kids are calling me, I’ll hang up now.”

“Chen …” Before the words were finished, the earpiece was as busy as it could be.

The phone screen returned to the address book interface, suddenly smiled to himself, it seems that compared to Benjamin’s gang, I am the God’s Fate, anyone can avoid it.

Come to think of it, it is true that the further away from me the safer it is during this time.

Put down the phone, but found that Jamie and Snowy do not know when they have returned, the two little ones holding hands standing next to the living room, looking at me from afar, and do not speak.

I immediately put my face together and opened my arms for them to come over, “Baby, come to Mommy.”

Snowy looked down at my hand, then let go of Jamie and ran straight to me, pouncing too hard, hitting me straight back, but she giggled with joy, hugging my neck and kissing hard, “Mommy Mommy Mommy, Snowy misses you super much and loves you super much!”

The warmth of blood is always easy to dispel the gloom of the heart, I smiled and helped her to sit on my lap, patiently tidying the broken hair in front of her forehead and asking about the situation at school as usual, “Tell mommy, what did Snowy learn today?”

Snowy immediately got up from me, ran back to Jamie, took a roll of drawing paper he was holding, and ran back to unfold it in front of me with great enthusiasm.

“Look, Mom, this is Snowy’s drawing, and the teacher, in front of the class, complimented me, well, complimented me on the best drawing ever!”

This is a crayon drawing, a few simple colors, but the drawing of the basic human form, two large and four small, holding hands, facing the sunflower-like sun, playing happily on the grass, the years are quiet, but so it is.

Even Jeffery didn’t forget, and it’s clear that Snowy loves everyone in the family.

I lost my concentration for a moment watching and forgot to give my child the proper response, causing her some uncertainty and unease, “Mommy, did Snowy draw badly?”

“Of course not!” I then came back to my senses and hurriedly kissed Snowy hard on the forehead as a reward, and took out my phone to open the photo interface, showing off like a photo to the camera, “Come, let mommy take such a beautiful picture and send it to her circle of friends, so that everyone knows how smart my baby girl is~”

Snowy smiled happily and arched her eyebrows, looking up at me with fascination, like a chubby enamel doll, “Mommy, Snowy has been so well behaved, Mommy will always be by Snowy’s side, right?”

I was puzzled and reached out to rub the top of her head, “Why would you think that, Snowy is a mommy’s baby whether she is well behaved or not.”

Snowy beamed and shook his head, “It’s not like that, Snowy is too naughty, that’s why Daddy doesn’t come home, he must not want to be bullied by Snowy.”

Speaking of which, the child’s eyes were red, two little hands reached over and grabbed my arm and shook it, “Mommy, you tell Daddy that Snowy will be good, so he doesn’t not come back OK, Snowy misses him …”

As I said, tears pearl-like, one fell down, a drop all hit my heart.

I rushed to hold the child, a good deal of reassurance, under closer questioning, only to know that these days Dennis did not show up, Snowy in front of my face, although not mentioned, but privately kept chasing Jamie to ask the reason, Jamie also do not understand the matter between adults, can only pick a more reasonable-sounding excuse to put off, who knows Snowy really got upset, thinking that they forced Dennis away. The reason for this is that he thought he was forcing Dennis out.

Jamie looked at his sister crying, himself also hard, red eyes straight apologize, “I’m sorry mom, I just don’t want my sister to mess up, I don’t feel bad for her …”

One knows more than the other, so how can people not break the defense?

The only thing I can say is that I didn’t cry out.

Kids don’t know anything and seem to know everything.

After venting my emotions and putting my child to bed it was already 9:00 p. m. I was preparing to rest early to facilitate an early start to the hospital tomorrow when Facebook message alerts kept ringing.

The preview showed a short video from Folly, and when I picked up my phone, several more voices came in quick succession.

After unlocking it, I habitually tried to click on the voice, but the cover of the video caught my attention.

The man on the cover is none other than Toby, who has just separated, but his mental state is extremely poor, with deep sunken eye sockets and dark bags under his eyes, a far cry from the tough guy in my head!

Trembling, I clicked on the first voice, and the voice bars played in sequence.

“Come on down and see how it’s handled.”

“Found in the alley behind Kimdock with no injuries other than a few needle holes from the injections.”

“The odds are that he was hit, and the amount is huge, the other side is determined to get him hooked all at once!”

“What a great tactic.”

“…”

The buzz in his head kept going, so in the end, Dennis didn’t bail him out?
