Chapter 59
Jamie patted her hand, “Isn’t there a brother for you?”
“Do you know who he is?” Carla looked at him.
“I just want him to know that you are not helpless.” Jamie took her and walked over.
“From now on, the business world belongs to your young people.”
Craig Barker, the former president of HSBC, seldom attended events when he retired, and he let out a hearty laugh when he spoke, “Ryan is the youngest and most promising person of this generation.”
“Mr. Barker has won the prize.” Ryan put his one hand into his trouser pocket, and Alma held his arm slightly, holding the red wine glass with the slender fingers of his right hand, shining brightly under the light.
“I heard that AAA was established in country A…” Ruben Gill was talking, and he was surprised when he saw his younger brother walking towards this side with a girl by his side.
“Jamie, who is she?” Ruben asked.
Jamie walked over with Carla, “My girlfriend.”
While speaking, he glanced at Ryan.
It seems to be overwhelming.
Since he didn’t want to admit this wife, then let him give it to this fairness.
Carla never expected that Jamie would say this, still in the public.
She instinctively wanted to withdraw the hand that was held by him.
Jamie discovered her intention and held her tighter to prevent her from breaking free.
Smiled and said, “What are you afraid of.”
Carla’s inexplicable guilty conscience did not even dare to lift her head.
As for the guilty conscience, she didn’t know.
Ruben smiled and introduced to everyone, “This is my younger brother who has not been in the country for many years. Now he came back, please take care of him.”
Alma’s hand tightened, “Miss Lane——”
Ryan slowly raised his eyelids and glanced across Carla’s face, without stopping for a minute, and then the indifferent appearance.
Carla’s ups and downs slowly returned to peace in Ryan’s ignorance.
She was amused by her nervousness.
On such occasions, all the talks about are things in the market. Jamie is also bitterly stubborn and not socializing. Carla can see that he doesn’t like such occasions. He pulled Jamie by the arm and whispered, “I want to go out and get some breath.”
Jamie took her hand, “I will take you to the back room.”
The lights, noise, conversation, and flattery gradually disappeared into the ears.
Passing through the corridor, they came to the back hall, which was wide and bright, much quieter than the front hall, and occasionally there were people standing in front of the window talking.
“You don’t like listening to those conversations, right?” Jamie smiled, “I don’t actually like them either.”
This time Maxine played both soft and hard, and she had to agree to it.
He doesn’t like socializing, he doesn’t like intrigue, and he doesn’t like to do everything possible to make money.
Maybe it was related to his birth, he was born without worry about food and clothing, and he didn’t worry about money.
“I can see it, so do you want to thank me for taking you out of the fire?”
“How do you want your brother to thank you?” Jamie came close to her, Carla could clearly smell the masculine aura on him, lingering in her ears, she couldn’t help but wanted to pull away, but Jamie grabbed her waist.
“I used to think that you were young, and you grew up unknowingly.” He had paid attention to her before and had no other thoughts. He didn’t know when she was born.
Carla felt that Jamie was different from what she knew. He was as gentle as jade, with a gentle smile on his face, taking care of her and caring for her like a big brother.
But now the taste has changed, he is ‘mocking’ her?
“You have changed.” Carla turned her head, his hands clenched uncomfortably.
“You are an adult, of course, I can’t treat you as a child anymore, am I right?” He smirked.
Carla pushed him away, “But I am your sister.”
Jamie was caught off guard by being pushed, and took a step back. After reacting, he looked at her, “Not a dear one.”
Carla walked to the window and looked up at the stars in the sky, “I want to treat you as my brother.”
Jamie looked at her back, did she reject him?
“I may know who the father of the child in my stomach is.” She said in a faint tone, as if to herself, and as if to Jamie.
Jamie changed his previous hippie smile and said solemnly, “Who?”
Chapter 60
“I’m not sure, there are many things I haven’t figured out.” Carla took a deep breath and turned to look at Jamie, “I am very conflicted and at a loss, I don’t know…”
She could not describe her feelings.
“Who are you suspicious of?” Jamie frowned, “Could it be a domestic citizen?”
Thinking of what happened that night, he became annoyed, “Why didn’t you come to me then?”
Carla lowered her head, “I came looking for you, but I didn’t find you.”
She didn’t want to owe favors to others, but it was related to the safety of her brother and mother. She didn’t care about those. She went to look for them, but she didn’t find anyone. Later, the woman found her.
At that time, desperate, she needed the money to save her mother and brother.
Jamie carefully recalled that night. It was the day when Diane was lost. He was in a bad mood and drank a lot of alcohol. Maybe she knocked on the door and he fell asleep and didn’t hear it.
He always thought that Carla didn’t find him at all.
At this moment, the mood is even heavier.
“I’m sorry.” If he was not drunk and heard her knock on the door, maybe everything is different now.
She doesn’t have to bear the stigma of being unmarried and pregnant.
And he can take care of her as a matter of course.
But all this changed trajectory because he was drunk.
“You don’t owe me anything. To say this is that I have no place to show myself.” Carla said in a self-deprecating tone.
This was her choice and her fate.
“I want to go back.”
“I will send you.”
Jamie walked over, held her hand, and held it tightly in his palm, “In the future, your brother will no longer let you find it. I will definitely take care of you.”
Carla didn’t move, and didn’t break away. At this moment, she understood a little bit that he didn’t necessarily like her, but it came from his feelings for his sister.
It’s just that he didn’t make a clear distinction.
They came out from the back door, and the neon lights outside the building were still flickering, the lights dimmed and bright!
Render the night-like day.
Jamie opened the car door for her, and she bent over and sat in.
The two didn’t talk to each other along the way, each had their own concerns.
Carla didn’t let him go to the villa, and asked him to stop the car when he reached the intersection, “I can get off here.”
She unfastened the safety belt and opened the car door.
“Okay.” Jamie stopped her.
“Huh?” Carla stood in front of the car window, bending over to look at him.
Jamie brewed for a while, “Who is that person you suspect?”
Carla lowered her eyes, she didn’t have absolute evidence, she just guessed, “I’m not sure.”
Jamie pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, “I’ll help you.” He paused, “Tell me who you suspect is first.”
His mood is extremely contradictory, he hates to know, and wants to know.
Carla thought for a while, on her own, she couldn’t figure out the hidden information inside.
“Ryan.”
After Carla finished speaking, the surrounding air had condensed.
Jamie was also stunned for a long time.
It never occurred to him that Carla suspected Ryan.
This-how is it possible?
Or did she refuse to make excuses deliberately?
“You know where I live in country A, and the one who introduced me was a woman named Melia. If you find her, you might know what happened that night—”
“Why do you want to find that man?” Jamie interrupted her.
At first, Carla didn’t want to find her deliberately.
Only accidentally, a clue was found on Ryan’s body.
“You don’t mean that children who is growing up in single-parent families will have personality defects—”
“I said, I can take care of you and the child.” Jamie interrupted her again.
Carla pursed her lips and looked straight at him, “But you are not the child’s biological father.”
She deliberately made it impossible for her and Jamie.
On the one hand, he made it clear that she could not be with him, on the other hand, she really wanted to know the truth.
And Ryan couldn’t, she knew in her heart.
She just wanted to know if the child’s father was him, and what was going on at the time.
In the future, when the child is born, at least she can tell the child what kind of person its father is.
Perhaps it can be regarded as a remedy.
“I don’t think I will trouble you anymore. It’s late. Brother should go back to rest earlier.” Carla straightened up and smiled, “Drive slowly, I’ll go back first.
After speaking, she turned and walked along the road towards the villa.
After a few steps, Jamie stopped her, “I promise you, I will do it for you, but I hope you will leave him at the appointed time.”
“If you don’t know each other, he won’t love you, let alone accept you because of a child.”
Carla stopped and then started again.
She knew, she didn’t want to think about it, she just wanted to know the truth.
She was walking on the side of the road, and the street light dragged her slender figure into a long shadow.
Not far away, there was a black car parked, and a tall figure leaned against the car. The warm yellow light, intertwined, reflected on his side face, rendering him more attractive. Some features hard, some soft.
Carla stopped, thinking he hadn’t returned yet. Unexpectedly, he would come back earlier than her.
Not far away, her legs were filled with lead, unable to move.
She turned her head and stared at her for two seconds, in a thought-provoking tone, “Come here.”
