Chapter 16 As Thin As A Rake
Chapter 16 As Thin As A Rake
Lena and Nora were forbidden to step in the rumors about them, and they were not allowed to go out on their own either.
Lena had been used to such an arbitrary order and would not go out by herself anyway. Although she was one of the protagonists of this incident, she had no idea of it at all.
What she and Sherlock had had passed already.
Lena accepted in a calm manner and stayed at home obediently.
In the meantime, Nora, who was also restricted in her movements, was extremely uncomfortable. She had been calling Lena every day to disturb her and complain about the life of hers like a prisoner. She was in an awful situation.
"Lena, I want to live with you! I'm so bored here. No one can talk to me or play with me. If I can only live like this, I'd rather go to prison. " When Nora called her name in a strong voice, Lena could hear her voice full of sadness.
"Lena, may I?"
Her imploring voice didn't make Lena feel sorry for her, instead she kind of wanted to laugh.
After all, Nora was a lively girl who could entertain herself and everyone around her.
"Nora, you can come over here if you want! I don't have anyone to play with here either, and Cliff told me not to go out. It's dangerous outside, so I'm so pitiful too. Come and see me! "
Holding their phones, the two girls started to pour out their bitterness word by word.
"Ms. Xu, is that Mrs. Huo?" Her big eyes were pure, as if she had never seen any dark side, a clean person.
This was the newly hired nurse. She was just in her early twenties. She was at a lively and optimistic age. She was diligent too. Mrs. Xu has also observed her.
Now that she had taken her here, it was needed to verify whether she could be a qualified caregiver or not instead of having dirty thoughts like the last one.
"You just need to know that this is the hostess here, and that you have to take care of her. I don't want you to have any other thoughts. Your only task is to take care of her. " Ms. Xu has never been so serious before, The new nurse almost stood on her feet under the gaze of Ms. Xu. What bad thoughts would she have after having such a strict housekeeper? Not at all.
Macy Le said to herself and shook her head violently.
It would take time to know her personality.
"How long have you been pregnant? It doesn't look like Cliff's! Could it be a fake one? "
A strange male voice with picky attitude attracted several people's attention at the same time.
Holding her phone, Lena looked blankly at the old man in front of her. He was about eighty years old, wearing a set of Chinese costume with all white hair, and with a crutch in his hand. His wrinkled face looked dignified without anger and sharp sight.
He walked swiftly towards her. His eyes were sharp, and he looked like a king waiting for his people to serve. And he looked in the way as if Lena was worthless.
"You are too thin to be pregnant. Are you sure you're not lying? You're not lying just to become Cliff's wife? "
The old man was ruthless. He acted like he was evaluating the meat in the market and belittled Lena.
In fact, the old man had another thought in his mind.
'Couldn't Cliff get himself a girl with more weight? She was so thin, how could she become plump?
And the baby seemed so big. Maybe it's twins!
Atta boy! '
The old man thought to himself for a while, but his face didn't look good.
People who didn't know the old man would never guess the real thoughts of him. They would just assume that he didn't mean well.
"Skinny woman. It must be you who is obsessed with Cliff. " The old man said in a determined tone. He looked at Lena with reproachful eyes.
These days, Lena was not as quick as usual, so when the old man was very picky about her, she did not react in time.
Macy, the new nurse however, stood out before Ms. Xu introducing her to Lena.
"Mister, you are being so unreasonable. You have come to someone else's home, but not only don't you tell us your identity, you even make judgment on others. You are so evil. Do you know that? " Macy had never been educated to be shrewish. These were the only words she could use to defend.
Macy's little action immediately attracted the other three people present.
They were Lena, the old man and Ms. Xu.
Lena was wondering who the girl was that spoke all of a sudden, and Ms. Xu was satisfied with her performance, no matter it was for show or really out of a good heart, which added a lot scores for herself.
However, the old man frowned more deeply.
"Little girl, how dare you talk to me like that?" The old man glared at Macy.
"Hey, old man, it's you who started it!"
"Hey, old man, you are the one who has been talking so rudely. It's impossible for others to talk to you nicely! I've told you that I'm the new nurse. Are you deaf? " Macy had just graduated from school for a few months, so her attitude had not yet been affected by this society.
Macy helped Lena with her hands akimbo, which made Lena pay more attention to her.
This new nurse seemed nice, but after she had the experience of the former nurse, she was not so easy to believe.
"Mister, who are you?" Lena was not immune to being angry. It's just that anger wasn't going to solve the problem.
"I admit that I'm very thin, but you broke into my house and accused others for no reason. It's not good for you to do that and we can call the police if you keep behaving like that. What do you think, Mister? " At such a critical moment, the good tempered daughter of Mu's family would also have her tempers.
The old man smiled instead of getting angry. "Call the police?"
That's a little interesting.
"Do you think the police will come and arrest me?" The old man gave her a cold smile.
"Hey, little girl. You should know that not everyone can bear the charge of breaking in here. You should think about it when you know who I am. "
"Little girl, you'd better take good care of yourself and the baby instead of keeping struggling with the problem. You will know it sooner or later. " The old man smiled again and raised his chin in a proud manner.
"I will come again." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Like a gust of wind, the old man came and left without a trace.
Lena was confused again. Who on earth was this old man?
Who would disappear after saying something so strange?
At night, when Cliff came back, Lena told him what happened that day.
"Lena, from now on, don't open the door for that strange old man. Just ignore him when he comes in. He is a lunatic. "
"Lunatic?"
"Yeah. He's just an old lunatic. He's good at talking nonsense."
