Chapter 723
Melba really didn’t expect Carla to take the initiative to come, thinking about her relationship with Ryan, her enthusiasm remained.
“Are you here alone?” Melba asked.
Carla gave a faint hum.
“Who is coming this time…” Elden walked out of the study, and saw Carla’s question abruptly stopped.
The look was not worried, and it seemed that she was surprised that she would come to the house. He couldn’t help but glance behind her. He didn’t see Ryan, and was a little bit disappointed.
“What are you doing here?” he asked lukewarmly.
Carla stood there and didn’t move, just looking at him quietly.
This person has an inextricable relationship with her, and at this moment there should be tension and joy when acknowledging relatives.
But she was left with shame.
Elden was staring uncomfortably and slightly staggered her gaze, “What are you doing looking at me like this?”
She still didn’t take her gaze back, her voice was very light and slow, “Can I talk to you?”
Elden sullen his face, “Did he let you come?”
He thought to himself that Ryan asked her to reconcile the relationship?
Can’t help feeling a little bit of joy when thinking about it.
“No, he didn’t know I was coming.”
Elden frowned, his face slightly cold, “What do you want to talk about?”
“Are you and I an enemy? Can’t I even say a few words?” There was finally a wave of turbulence in the plain state of mind. It was not Elden’s indifference that hurt her heart, but the feeling of powerlessness and heart for this complicated family relationship.
Elden pursed his lips and was silent.
Melba smiled and came over to round up the field, and pulled Elden’s sleeves, “This is not an outsider, maybe there is something to tell you, really want to be an enemy?”
Elden’s tight face loosened a little. Melba pulled him into the study. She turned her head and looked at Carla, “Come in too.”
She seated Elden on the chair and said in a low voice,
“You really don’t care about Ryan anymore? Your sister’s only child, really wants to break the relationship? Knowing you don’t want to, don’t show your face, falling out, sad it is still you.”
Melba knew her husband, so she poked at his weakness every sentence, Elden’s expression finally softened, and he looked up at his wife, “You go out.”
He also wanted to see what Carla had to say when she came to him.
Melba patted her husband on the shoulder, then smiled at Carla, “Is there anything you want to drink?”
Carla shook her head, “No need.”
“Then you sit down.” Melba pulled the chair behind her.
Carla said thank you, then sat down, separated from Elden by a square tea table, Melba exited the study and closed the door.
“Let’s talk about it, what are you looking for?” Elden said first.
She pursed her lips and looked at Elden seriously, “You and I are not enemies, and we won’t be in the future.”
Meeting her eyes, Elden was taken aback for a moment, and became inexplicably uneasy.
“I’m here today, I just want to ask you for an answer, and I hope you can answer me truthfully.” She looked at him with a pair of exploring, nervous, and even scared eyes.
She was afraid that Della’s death was directly related to him.
No matter good or bad, she had to face it again.
She had no choice, and there was a tremor in her voice, “Is there your hand in Della’s death?”
Elden looked at her in silence, narrowing his eyes, “Is this what you want to ask?”
Carla nodded, and replied affirmatively, “Yes.”
…
After a while, Elden said, “Yes.”
Facing Elden’s answer, she found that she was so vulnerable. She lowered her head quickly to cover the pain of facing the truth.
She bit her lip fiercely and swallowed her tears.
She has thought about the worst situation.
It was only after the real face that she realized that she couldn’t bear it at all.
She didn’t know how to face Ryan, how to face the deceased Della, what mood and expression she had to use.
“In the past, I thought that the relationship between Ryan and me was destined by heaven. Until this moment, I didn’t know that this was not a fate, it was a sin.” And all of this was caused by her relatives alone.
Her mother, uncle…
Slowly, she raised her head to look at Elden. She couldn’t restrain her trembling body with all her strength, her heart with difficulty in breathing, she clasped the armrest of the chair tightly, and the thin veins on the back of her hand violently endured her.
She laughed silently, sadly, “If I can choose, I definitely don’t want to have anything to do with the Durant family.”
She slowed down, “There won’t be any in the future.”
“You, what do you mean, what do you have to do with the Durant family?” Elden’s voice also unconsciously brought out a hint of anxiety.
Carla took out the letter from her bag, and before handing it to Elden, she solemnly said, “I haven’t read the content, and I don’t know what is written in it, but no matter what it is, I don’t hope you have a relationship with me.”
After speaking, she put the letter on the table.
“I don’t want to see you, I hope this is the last time we meet.”
After she said that she stepped out of the study, Melba was preparing dinner, and wanted to stay Carla to eat here, by the way, called Ryan, so that he could have a harmonious relationship.
“You can call Ryan and have dinner here,” Melba said enthusiastically.
Carla didn’t respond, like a puppet, stepping mechanically, just want to leave here quickly.
When walked to the door, just in time for Quinton to come back, he quickly greeted her, “Why are you here alone…”
She looked at the person walking towards her, that figure became more and more blurred…The light in front of her was completely dimmed, and the person swayed.
Seeing Carla’s body swaying and falling, Quinton rushed over and caught her the moment she fell.
Tired, really tired, she slowly raised her head, looking at the person holding her, her vision was still a bit vague, and her voice was very hoarse, “Why are you back?”
“I don’t worry about you, did the old guy do anything to you?” Quinton was angry, and he might have rushed in and had a fight with Elden.
Carla tugged at his shirt and shook her head, “No.” Her whole body was exhausted, and her legs were soft. She tried her best to support her body and barely stop, “Do me a favor.”
“You say it.” Quinton could see that she was very weak, and asked worriedly, “Should we go to the hospital?”
She shook her head, “Help me into the car.”
She needs to rest and regain her energy, she can’t go back like this.
She will be found to be abnormal.
Quinton couldn’t stand it, so he hugged her horizontally and walked towards the car.
The bodyguard pulled the car door, and Quinton bent over and put her on the car seat.
Immediately afterwards, he followed up, he was worried about her.
Carla closed her eyes, rubbed her temples with one hand on her forehead, trying to make herself sober, she said to the bodyguard, “Give me a bottle of water.”
There was it in the car, and the bodyguard soon handed her a bottle of mineral water. She unscrewed the lid and took a few mouthfuls. The dryness and bitterness in her mouth disappeared. She raised her eyelids and looked at Quinton. “Go back.”
“Is there really no conflict between you and my dad?” It’s not that Quinton didn’t want to believe Carla’s words, but that she looked bad, or she had to be like this after coming out of the Durant family. Think about that.
Carla shook her head and said again, “It’s getting late, I should go back.”
She said it all, and Quinton had to get out of the car. He couldn’t follow Carla to the villa. He felt that he had no face to face Ryan.
He got out of the car and closed the door.
“Let’s go,” Carla instructed lightly.
The bodyguard started the car and drove away.
After a while, she drove back to the villa. She didn’t get out of the car immediately.
Instead, she patted her face to refresh herself, and when she felt that she could handle everyone, she pushed the door to get out of the car.
When she got out of the car, she saw two other cars parked in the courtyard.
Chapter 724
One is Peter’s, and the other is Ryan’s.
Carla looked inside the villa, and they came back.
She lowered her eyes gently, stood for a while, and then walked in with her bag, fearing that the bodyguard would miss his mouth. She looked back at him, “You haven’t forgotten what you want to say?”
“Today you went to the clothing store.” The bodyguard replied.
Carla nodded in satisfaction, then cheered up and walked in.
Samantha was busy preparing for dinner in the kitchen. The two children were not in the living room. They were probably playing in the room. She changed her shoes and walked upstairs, taking the paper bag out of her bag and pressing it on the bottom of the drawer.
Next, put the bag back and go to the bathroom to wash her hands. In the mirror, her face is very pale, and she is not in a good state of mind when she looks at it.
In order to make herself look bright, she washes her face with hot water, which is a little bit hot. After repeating it several times, her face became rosy.
She wiped her face and walked downstairs. The lights were on in the study. They should be in the study. She walked into the kitchen, stood in front of the coffee machine, poured coffee beans into the self-grinding coffee pot, and asked seemingly inadvertently. “When did they come back?”
“Just came back.” Samantha replied.
“Why did you go to the clothing store and come back so late?” Samantha glanced at her belly, “You are just a little bit better. You have to pay attention to your body.”
When Carla left, she told Samantha that she was going to the clothing store.
That’s why Samantha asked.
She smiled and said, “I know, pay attention next time.”
She gently pads her feet, opens the cupboard and takes out the coffee cup and tray from it.
Samantha glanced at it and said, “I’ll send it to them, you rest.”
Carla smiled and said, “No, I’ll go.”
She poured the brewed coffee into the exquisite coffee cup, put it on the tray, and carried it to the study.
When she walked to the entrance of the study, she was holding the tray in one hand, and she raised the other hand to knock on the door. When the hand was about to fall, Harrison’s voice came from inside.
“This Lolla is really selfish. Since she didn’t want to get married in the first place? Wanted to have a good family, and wanted to be with the person she liked, and find a woman for her husband, that is, this kind of strange family surnamed Durant. Only such a person can be produced.”
Across the door, Carla could also hear the indignation and disgust in Harrison’s words.
“Your dad, too, why didn’t he say it earlier, insist on…”
Harrison also wanted to say that he was held back by Peter and shook his head at him.
Harrison just felt aggrieved, “This time the matter cannot be separated from Elden. When the person who goes to the investigation takes the person back, Elden is the mastermind of the old accounts and the new accounts together!”
Although the perpetrators died and fled, they have lived in city b and can always find out the background of one or two people. Moreover, they have deep connections in city b and want to check people, but it is only a matter of time.
They didn’t run away in vain that day. They found a clue. At that time, he hijacked Carla, the man who died in a car accident. His cousin was involved in this matter, but now they have fled back to their hometown. People went looking for it.
They continue to investigate other clues.
Slap…
Suddenly the sound of something smashed outside the door, Harrison and Peter looked at the door at the same time, and Ryan, who had been standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, also slowly turned around.
Peter walked over to the opened door. Carla was squatting on the ground to pick up the fragments of the coffee cup.
Just now, her eyes were black and her head was dizzy. The tray in her hand was not held firmly and fell to the ground. The coffee splashed everywhere. Little black is stained on the hem of her skirt.
She lowered his head, “I heard Samantha said that you were in the house. I was thinking about getting you some drinks, but I accidentally smashed them all.”
She was too flustered when she picked up the debris. She accidentally scratched her finger on the sharp fracture. It broke a small hole in the flesh of her finger, and the blood flowed out all at once.
Peter was so close that she was injured and stretched out his hand to help her. At this time, Ryan walked over. Peter took her hand one step at a time, and put his arm around her shoulder to help her up. The wound was still bleeding.
Carla looked up at him, “I’m getting useless, I can’t do anything well.”
He lowered his eyes and looked at her fingers, his thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and said coldly, “Samantha, go get the medicine box.”
Samantha took the mop and the trash can and was about to come to clean the ground. When she heard Ryan’s words, she put the things on the ground and hurried to find the medicine box.
Carla looked back at Samantha, “I’m fine, so you don’t need to take the medicine kit.”
There is no need to get the medicine box for a little injury.
Ryan looked at her in silence.
She looked back at his gaze and smiled pretentiously, “A small wound, no disinfection, no stitches, and a medicine kit to show them a joke…”
As soon as her voice fell, her fingers were suddenly in his mouth, allowing her to be bleeding from the wound, and Carla’s pupils kept widening as she watched him, “You…”
The tip of the tongue pressed against her fingertips, and the soft and moist touch made her tremble.
With so many people here watching, she tried her best to endure, her brows were almost knotted.
Peter lowered his head to touch her nose, and pulled Harrison in a low voice, “Let’s go outside.”
Samantha was holding the medicine box and didn’t know whether she should come. Standing in the living room, Peter came over and patted her on the shoulder, “Don’t need it anymore.”
“Yes.” Samantha went back and put the medicine box back in place.
At the entrance of the study, Carla looked at him, her disguised strength almost collapsed in an instant, tears welled up in her eyes, her heart was warm, but her face was pretending to be fierce, “You have lost your face. , They must be watching our jokes.”
Ryan did not respond to her, but felt that the wound would no longer bleed, and then let it go. He pulled her into the study without saying anything, and drew a tissue to wipe her hands.
Carla struggled, but she was gripped tightly, “Don’t move.”
He looked up at her and said mockingly, “If it doesn’t hurt, why are you crying?”
“Who said it doesn’t hurt.” Her tears fell more and more fiercely, she was not controlled at all. After knowing the truth, she was afraid to face him.
His concern will only make her more uncomfortable.
Do you know she will be reluctant.
Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe, hooked her neck, and pressed her lips up. Her lips were a bit cold, but very soft, and there was a faint smell of blood, all of them.
Carla used unskilled k!ssing sk!lls to continuously deepen the k!ss.
The breath lingering between her lips and teeth, she closed her eyes, and glittering tears hung brightly on her eyelashes.
Ryan held her face, gently brushed her eyes with his fingertips, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, “What’s the matter with you?”
She sniffed and dropped her eyes, “A k!ss, do you have to give a reason?”
Ryan sat down with her in his arms, wrapped her hands around her waist, “Where did you go today? Did you see someone?”
Carla leaned in his arms and blinked, “Went to the clothing store.”
“Nothing?” Ryan raised his eyebrows. Today, he received a call from the hospital saying that she had gone to the hospital for a checkup. She had a little fever, but the fetus was developing well and the fetal image had stabilized. Good news.
Why is she lying? Could it be that she saw Lucia when I went to the hospital?
He sighed slightly, pressed Carla’s head to his heart, and touched her forehead.
Fortunately, it was not very hot, and he said earnestly, “Give birth to our child well, don’t think about the rest, let it be your fate, No one can change the destiny.”
Ryan thought that the reason for her loss of control was that she knew about Lucia’s condition, so that’s why she said this.
Carla also noticed the meaning of his words, but did not explain, she raised her head and looked at him, “Are you free tomorrow? Let’s change the last names of the two children.”
She is not surnamed Lane, and she cannot let her two children follow her surname Lane.
And Ryan is the father of the children and they should follow his surname.
He lowered his eyes, “Huh? Why do you think of changing the surname?” The arm around her waist tightened, “We are a husband and wife, and we don’t distinguish you or me.”
Carla was afraid that she could not control her emotions, so she buried her face in his arms, pressed her voice, and tried her best to slow down her tone so as to make herself sound normal.
“It is a tradition in our country that sons follow their father’s surname, and they will soon be in elementary school, I don’t want their identities to be speculated and discussed.”
What she said also made sense.
Ryan pondered for a moment, “Alan Blair doesn’t sound good either.”
“You can get them again. I will take them to the police station to change it tomorrow.” Her face was pressed against his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, she sniffed greedily, the smell that belonged to him.
Later-she was afraid that there would be no chance.
Ryan picked up the pen on the table, took off the cap with one finger, and pulled a sheet of 4 pieces of paper. The nib fell on the white paper, and said in a low voice, “My name is Ryan Blair…”
His words are vigorous and powerful, with extraordinary style. He wrote a few words on the paper in a few strokes, “The original word remains the same, put a word from his name in the middle…”
