Chapter 71: Man's Face And Beast's Heart
"Although it didn't hurt his bones or muscles, he still suffered losing blood and brain concussion. He needs to stay in hospital for observation for a few days. And the first thing he woke up, he asked me to give you this card.” Dave Harrod suddenly did not understand the woman in front of him, according to his understanding, she will not accept the money easily.
Olive did not know how to answer him, with a slight mocking smile, lowered her head to stir the coffee in the cup. He's fine, that's fine, but in that case, she can only say it in her own mind.
"That little girl, is it your child?" Dave asked suddenly.
Her hands hook, and the coffee almost was stirred out the cup. She looked up, opened her mouth, shook her head, and said emphatically, "No."
"But I heard her call you mommy."
"Of course, my foster daughter calls me mommy, isn't she cute?" Olive's eyes curved and smiled. "It's true,you are so young, how could you possibly have such a big daughter.” Dave smiled thoughtfully.
Olive gently sighed of relief in the bottom of her heart, fortunately, she cheated him successfully. She Inadvertently looked out of the window, through the twilight, the street light had been lit, across the road, she saw the Chloe and Bruce clearly. They were making fuss and looked excited. "I'm sorry, my friend may have some trouble. I have to go first.”
Bruce angrily called Chloe, Chloe knew it, he started to make a punitive expedition against her. She disgraced his mom.
The woman was very good at gossiping in front of her son. God knows what she said, but Bruce's face was not so kind as before, as if he was going to eat her.
"We have divorced. Why are you still giving my mother a hard time?"
"Still?" Chole thought this word sadly, like looking at a stranger.
Yes, they had divorced, and they had become strangers.
"Chloe, I think I was wrong about you, I did not think you are so narrow-minded, even if I am sorry for you, but do you have to humiliate my mother like that?”
Chole smiled cynically “I humiliated her? Not one in ten thousand, compared to those she had humiliated me. Bruce, I didn't want to give your mother a hard time. She gave me a hard time. You know better what your mother is than I do ."
"It's no longer your business about what she is.” Bruce pointed to the nose of Chole, "I warn you, if you dare to speak disrespectfully to my mother again, don't blame me for not thinking old feelings.” "Old feelings?" Chloe laughed, she laughed very sarcastically and sharp, how can you expect a man who had changed his heart to have many old feelings, "Put away all your shed crocodile tears, leaving it for your little lover, I don't care.”
Bruce looked bitterly, "How did you become like this?"
She looked like a street bitch. She knew it, and there was no chance of her ever becoming a submissive little wife again, Chole looked at him coldly. "These words are more suitable for you." "Do you have to talk back like that?" Bruce became angry from embarrassment and his face became more and more bad.
"How dare I, the Lynn family has money and power, but I'm just a humble tiny woman, the Lynn family just have to hook your finger, and newspaper office dare not put a fart." Anyway, he had confessed her sins, so why put on a good face in front of him, " If you only come to accuse me today, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in listening to you."
"I can't believe you're so rude. Maybe my mother's right. You're a hypocritical woman."
"Yes, I am hypocritical, but I am not cheating, unlike some people, fooled around under the name of marriage, love this one today, love that one tomorrow, you should beware of STDS.” Chloe remind him kindly, but got back a slap on her face.
Olive ran out of the cafe and saw such scene. She ran across the road, even did not look the vehicle on the road, Dave was scared and got a cold sweat, it's too late to call her to be careful.
"Bruce, why did you slap Chloe?" Olive rushed and pushed Bruce, looking at him angrily.
Chloe touched her face in pain, and tears rolled in her eyes, making it to flow back into her body. The fingers that dropping in the air tightly clenched into a fist, suddenly came forward and fiercely slapped back.
It was she had long wanted to do, she was hardhearted enough to do it, but now, all the feelings had become ashes in that slap.
Bruce obviously did not expect that Chloe dare to fight back, and she fought it back on the street, it lost his face, he naturally refused to just let it go, he did not believe he can't win a woman. But unexpectedly, the hand just raised, Olive stood in front of Chloe, and his hand was intercepted halfway.
Dave smile slightly, but the eyes were full of cool lights, "Mr. Lynn, it's rude to beat a woman in public."
"Mr. Harrod?" Bruce knew how important this man to Alan Hoyle, he withdrew his hand and calmed down, "Why are you here?"
"Passing by, I saw Mr. Lynn..."
Bruce smiled awkwardly,” Mr. Harrod, this is just a little private matter of me..."
"Miss Steele is my junior and a friend of Mr. Hoyle, and Chloe is Miss Steele's friend. Mr. Lynn, If I stand aside, I am afraid that Mr. Hoyle will blame me, I can't bear it.” Dave smiled like a fox.
