Chapter 243 I Will Protect Her (1/2)
”Kill the goose that lays the golden eggs,” Sophie said.
”That's right. That's not Simon's way. He is the most conservative one among us. What makes him so desperate to develop the housing estate? My marriage with Amanda was built in the housing development project. If it wasn't for the best interests, grandfather wouldn't have used my marriage as a game. He didn't know Amanda before, and now he doesn't approve Amanda either.” Darren frowned and said, ”I have to figure it out. What's going on now?”
”Will Amanda be in danger?” Sophie said with great anxiety.
Darren looked at the scenery outside the window. The snow had almost melted, but there were still some bushes covered with white. He opened the window and the cold wind blew in immediately. At the moment, the heat was blown away by the wind from the window. Sophie heard Darren's voice, ”No matter what happens, I will protect her.”
After work, Amanda came back home. She saw Darren sitting on the sofa with a thin blanket on his legs. Luna jumped around for a piece of beef jerky in his hand.
Luna was a big one now and it was as white as a toy. It cheerfully ran towards Amanda because it was familiar with her.
”Luna. Let's eat later,” Amanda said, stroking the dog's head.
Luna didn't understand what she meant, so it had to bite her slippers and drag them towards the food box. But Amanda didn't allow it to do that. She patted on its head with her hand. And the dog ran to Darren reluctantly, keeping playing with the beef in his hand.
Darren threw the beef to Amanda as he asked, ”Would you like to eat it outside?”
Such a conversation was courteous. But as Amanda recalled what had happened today and the courteous way Darren spoke to him, she couldn't help but shiver. She took off her coat and asked, ”Where are we going?”
”My friend just opened a new restaurant. It seems not bad. Let's have a try,” Darren said.
”I'm a little tired today. Will we go to see Nola tomorrow? I have to pack up my stuff first. You can go by yourself,”
