Chapter 25 Why Didn’t You Go All Out?
I stood quietly next to her, listening to her warning and silently complying.
Seeing this, she paused. “Alright, it’s been a long morning. You should go back and rest.
I understood that this was her way of asking me to leave.
Originally, I was supposed to stay at the Youngs‘ for lunch, but Madam Young was so angry that she had Mr. Zachary escort me out. Before leaving, she specifically told me, “Don’t come to the old manor again unless it’s necessary.”
Hah. Was she afraid I would hurt the child Moore was carrying?
I nodded, expressionless, and left with Mr. Zachary.
On the way out, we ran into Idris. Seeing that I was about to leave, he looked at Mr. Zachary and asked, “What happened?”
Mr. Zachary replied respectfully, “Madam Young asked me to take Mrs. Young home.”
Idris, being smart, probably guessed that Madam Young was angry and had ordered Mr. Zachary to take me away. He pursed his l*ps and told Mr. Zachary, “You should go back and take care of my grandmother. I’ll take her home.”
Mr. Zachary hesitated for a moment. “Mr. Young, if you leave, what about Ms. Moore…”
“The doctor’s there, so she’ll be fine,” Idris said. Then, he pulled me out of the old manor.
In the car, I stared out the window, lost in thought. Idris broke the silence with his low and restrained voice. “If you hate me so much, why didn’t you go all out?”
Knowing he was referring to my earlier attempt to stab him, I casually replied, “I haven’t been sleeping well lately, so I was a little weak.”
I heard a soft chuckle from him, and he grabbed my hand tightly. I frowned and instinctively tried to
pull my hand away.
He gripped it even harder. Unable to free myself, I gave up trying.
Seeing that I had settled down, he held the steering wheel with one hand and held me with the other, and we were silent the entire rest of the ride.
When we ended up stopping in front of a restaurant, I frowned. Before I could say anything, he parked the car and said, “Let’s go.”
I really had no appetite. I looked at him and said, “Your child is in Moore’s belly. If you’d like to show paternal love, Moore probably needs it more, Mr. Young.”
