Shelton's words made me feel a little amused. I looked at the man and said word by word, "I don't need anyone's protection. I can protect myself."
After I said that, I turned around and left.
As soon as I took a step, I heard Shelton behind me ask, "What about Glenn?"
His words made me stop at once.
I didn't know why, but when these words came out of Shelton's mouth, I couldn't help but feel scared.
When I left him, I was betting that he hadn't injected anything into Glenn, but even now, I was not sure about it.
After all, that was Shelton.
This man hid his desire too well, and what he had done before indicated that he was definitely not a good man.
I stood still, but my hands clenched into fists.
Before I could speak, Shelton asked me again, "How's Glenn doing recently? Is he okay? Has he had a fever?"
I bit my lip with my teeth and persuaded myself not to be impulsive. Then I said, "He's fine. Thank you for your concern."
"Oh." Shelton gave a bland response and continued, "If he had fever and you don't know what to do, it may not be too late to come to me again."
What did this mean?!
There seemed to be a certainty in his tone!
What made him so sure that Glenn would have a fever!?
I can't make a bet with Glenn's health. After thinking for a while, I asked, "Didn't you say that Glenn would have a fever when he is seven or eight? He is not yet six now."
"Oh, there are always individual differences in things like this."
Shelton replied.
I didn't look back so I couldn't see his expression.
For a moment, I panicked, but I was afraid that this was a trap given to me by Shelton, to make me beg him.
I can't be entangled with him anymore.
However, in case something happened to Glenn...
When I was in a panic, footsteps came from outside. Soon, I saw Jessica coming over. She looked at us and shouted, "Lottie." "Mom, why are you here?"
When I saw Jessica, I got nervous all over.
I knew that Shelton couldn't do anything in front of me, but I still felt nervous. I was afraid that he would hurt my family.
Or threaten me with them.
Shelton saw Jessica, and said in a gentle and intimate voice, "Hello Auntie, I am Lottie's friend."
He knew how to make people like him. Hearing how Jessica called me, he call me Lottie immediately to follow Jessica.
I turned my head and said in a unfriendly tone, "Mr. Cowell, please don't try to get close to me. Only my mother can call me Lottie."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Shelton was not angry. He said with a faint smile, "Auntie, it's so late, wouldn't you want to get rest?"
Shelton seemed to be very innocent. Although Jessica was in her fifties, she had been locked in the mental hospital for most of her life. She knew little about people's thoughts.
Seeing him greet like this, she immediately gave him a friendly smile. "Hello, you are Lottie's friend, right?"
"No." I pulled Jessica and said, "I'm not familiar with him. Let's go back."
After that, I turned to Shelton and said, "Mr.
Cowell, I will accompany my mother back to rest first. I won't see you off."
"Janetta."
"Mr. Cowell, good night."
I ignored him and left with Jessica.
All in all, I really don't want people close to me to have anything to do with Shelton.
If I had any regrets, the one I regretted most would be having had such a relationship with Shelton.
