Chapter 329
Gerald heard the words and asked, “Do you have his contact information?”
Alyssa paused: “Yes.”
She hadn’t contacted Luther much since she came back before, and occasionally Luther sent her WeChat, and the two of them simply said hello and it was finished.
What happened to Preston, she was worried about Luther, but she couldn’t find him directly.
After all, she is now “not Karl’s wife”, how could she know that Preston was in a car accident.
Now Gerald took the initiative to look for her, but gave her a legitimate reason to look for Luther.
Gerald nodded slightly, with a slight gratitude in his tone: “Thank you.”
“If you know that something like this has happened to Luther, I won’t need you to say anything, I will find him myself.” Alyssa’s tone was cold and alienated.
Gerald didn’t know what he thought of, his expression changed slightly, and then he just smiled faintly.
…
After Gerald left, Alyssa called Karl.
Karl was preparing for a meeting, and found that Alyssa was calling, so he got up and went out with his mobile phone.
Karl walked outside the meeting room and asked her in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
“Gerald just came to me.”
“What did he come to do with you?” Karl frowned slightly, and his tone became cold. Obviously, like Alyssa, he was very wary of Gerald.
“He said about your uncle, so I have time to chat with Luther.” Alyssa relayed what Gerald had said to her to Karl.
Karl was silent for a moment before he said: “Then are you willing?”
“Of course I would.” Alyssa said after a while: “Actually, I think Luther likes you a lot. You can comfort him if you have time.”
Although she and Luther had been together for a while, and the two had a certain relationship, she felt that Karl’s position must be the most special in Luther’s heart.
Karl’s tone faded a bit: “I don’t have time, you can go find him, I will have a meeting soon, let’s hang up.”
“Oh.”
Alyssa hung up the phone, holding her mobile phone in a daze, wouldn’t Karl blame her?
At that time, Preston was to go to Karl’s appointment. He was killed in a car accident on the road at the entrance of the coffee shop agreed upon by the two.
It sounds weird, but this is true.
From Karl’s attitude, it can be seen that Karl did not realize that the car accident was a complete accident…
Forget it, don’t think about where you can’t figure it out.
That night, Alyssa sent Luther to WeChat.
“Luther, what are you doing?”
After a few minutes, Luther replied: “Do your homework.”
Alyssa looked at the calendar, only to realize that a few days later it was September, and Luther and the others were about to start school.
“Is there a lot left? Are you free to have a meal tomorrow?”
“Ok.”
Alyssa looked at Luther’s “um”, feeling a little helpless.
The child usually chats with her on WeChat, and keeps talking, and now he is almost as cherishing words as Karl.
Then, Alyssa sent Luther the time and place of the meeting.
…
The next day, Alyssa arrived at the pre-booked restaurant on time.
She had eaten at this restaurant with Luther before.
Luther was very punctual. As soon as Alyssa’s front foot arrived, he came behind her.
Luther’s complexion was not very good, her complexion was pale and bloodless, and his naturally small curly hair had grown to cover half of his eyes, and she looked a little gloomy and youthful.
He was carrying a bag, wearing white short sleeves and gray knee-length pants, looking very thin.
He looked around at the door and saw Alyssa sitting by the window.
“Sister Alyssa.” Luther sat down opposite Alyssa.
He took down the backpack and put it aside, looking up at Alyssa.
But because his little curly hair was too long, Alyssa couldn’t see his eyes at all. She only felt that he was now listless, like a frustrated puppy with his head drooping, looking pitiful and painful.
Alyssa hadn’t seen him for a while.
She smiled at Luther and asked, “It’s punctual, but your hair should be cut.”
“I have been busy doing homework for these two days, and I am going to cut it the day before school starts.” Luther touched his hair and said with some embarrassment.
Alyssa asked tentatively: “I’ll accompany you to cut it later.”
Luther still listened to Alyssa’s words and nodded obediently, “Yes.”
“Let’s order food.” Alyssa pushed the menu to him.
Luther ordered two dishes, and Alyssa ordered the rest.
However, Luther didn’t eat much. A child who used to eat so much, now eats less than half of Alyssa’s.
Alyssa looked in his eyes and felt pain in her heart.
Alyssa picked up vegetables and asked him, “Would you like to eat more?”
“I don’t want to eat anymore.” Luther just shook his head.
“Okay, then we won’t eat, and find a hairdresser to cut your hair.” Alyssa invited the waiter to pay the bill, and planned to take Luther to cut her hair.
As soon as they left the restaurant, they were stopped by a group of bodyguards.
Their eyes fell on Luther, and one of them stepped forward and shouted at Luther: “Sir.”
Alyssa turned to look at Luther.
Luther frowned, with a rare cold tone: “What are you doing with me? I won’t die! I’ll go back by myself later.”
There was no expression on his face when he said this, and the cold breath was somewhat similar to Karl.
Hearing what he said, Alyssa couldn’t help turning her head and glanced at him.
She naturally knew that these people were probably sent by the Adams’ family to protect Luther.
The bodyguards did not say anything.
Luther turned to look at Alyssa: “Sister Alyssa, let’s go.”
The two of them walked forward, and the bodyguards who were blocking them stepped aside to both sides.
Alyssa was still a little surprised that these bodyguards would make way for them, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Lina coming over here.
Lina walked hurriedly toward this side, only Luther was in her eyes, she didn’t pay attention to Alyssa at all.
“Luther, how can you come out alone? You don’t know how much your mother is worried about you.” Lina walked over and looked at him carefully, as if to see if he was injured.
“I have healthy limbs and a normal brain. I am fifteen years old. I am already an adult in some countries. Why can’t I go out alone?”
Alyssa could hear it, Luther’s tone was very aggressive, not to mention Lina who was his biological mother.
Lina’s face turned pale in an instant, “I’m just worried about you.”
“I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about me, you can go back.” After Luther finished speaking, he turned to look at Alyssa.
Chapter 330
Luther glanced at Alyssa, then walked straight forward, and Alyssa had no choice but to follow.
When she passed by Lina’s side, she slightly nodded and called: “Mrs. Cain.”
Only then did Lina discover the existence of Alyssa.
She seemed to no longer remember who Alyssa was. She looked at Alyssa for a while before she said: “You are…”
“I’m Karl’s ex-wife, Alyssa.” Alyssa looked into Lina’s eyes, speaking slowly.
A look of surprise flashed across Lina’s face: “So it’s you.”
“I have something to do, so I won’t chat too much.” Alyssa raised her foot and walked forward to chase Luther.
When she found Luther, he was standing at a fountain with his back straight, but his head buried very low.
Alyssa stepped forward and saw a few traces of water stains on the ground in front of him, like tears.
Luther cried.
Alyssa pulled a paper towel and handed it to him.
Luther did not answer, and said in a crying voice: “My father has not done much activity in the past few years. This time he went to hold an art exhibition because he had a quarrel with mom. The temperamental person…it must be my mother who has done too much…”
“But I asked them why they quarreled, and she didn’t tell me. She must have done a very bad thing, so my father was so angry that he left home straight away…”
Alyssa didn’t expect to have such a layer of inner feelings in it.
Preston and Lina had a quarrel and left home, but Lina didn’t say the reason for the quarrel.
Karl went to country M to find Lina because of Gerald’s life experience. He planned to chat with Preston again, but Preston had a car accident.
This is the cause and effect of the matter, and it seems that there is no clear connection on the surface.
“Don’t cry.” Alyssa could only help him wipe the tears with a tissue: “She is your mother anyway. She cares about you very much. If you misunderstand each other, wait until everyone calms down. Have a chat…”
Luther just took the tissue and wiped his face, but did not clearly respond to Alyssa’s words.
Obviously Luther was still blaming Lina.
He was blaming Lina for quarreling with Preston, which made Preston so angry that he left the house before the car accident happened.
Luther is now drilling a dead end, and it is difficult for him to hear what others say.
Alyssa comforted him for a while, then took him to cut his hair.
After cutting his hair, Luther looked much more energetic.
Then the two went shopping for a while.
Alyssa pulled him into the mall: “I will buy you what you want. Your sister’s script has been sold, and now I have money.”
Luther was obviously not in high spirits. He casually looked at that and touched, and suddenly asked: “You and cousin, really divorced?”
Alyssa thought that Luther would ask this suddenly, she froze for a moment and said, “Yes.”
Luther turned his head to look at her with a serious tone: “Is it because of the child? I don’t think my cousin is like someone who hides the child. I believe him.”
Alyssa did not speak immediately.
Luther is a child with his own discernment ability, and he has seen a world much bigger than ordinary children, and he is very independent.
This would have been a good thing.
However, he is a member of the Adams’ family.
In other words, if he is not a member of the Adams’ family, he will not necessarily be who he is now.
Alyssa took a deep breath and turned to look at him: “If not he who else?”
Luther seemed to be stumped by Alyssa’s question, and he wrinkled into thought.
Alyssa patted him on the shoulder: “Don’t talk about this, you will be with me today. Let’s have a good day and go shopping, okay?”
“Ok.”
His father died and Alyssa’s daughter was gone.
Probably because he felt that Alyssa felt sorry for the same illness with him, the next scene turned into Luther coaxing Alyssa to be happy.
…
The two played outside for a day, until they had dinner, and the two went back to their homes.
Alyssa didn’t drive out today, and sent Luther away. She asked for a taxi online.
But because it is the peak period, they have to wait in line.
When she asked for a car, she took out her mobile phone and swiped WeChat Moments.
As a result, she was sent to Luther’s circle of friends.
In addition to the photos of the dishes taken by Luther’s circle of friends, he also posted a photo of the two of them together with the text: “I am very happy today. I want to come out more often.”
Alyssa gave him a compliment, and when she refreshed it, he saw Karl comment on Luther’s circle of friends—period.
Across the screen of the phone, Alyssa could feel the dissatisfaction in this “period” of Karl.
Fortunately, she had already figured out Karl’s temperament, he was just mean.
The last second was still talking about Karl, the next second Karl’s phone came.
The first sentence Karl said was: “Have you enjoyed with Luther for a day?”
“Yes.”
After two seconds, Karl replied indifferently: “Oh.”
Alyssa: “???”
At this time, Karl said again: “Go back early.”
“I know.”
The two of them hung up without saying a few words.
Alyssa curled her lips, and the man called specifically and didn’t seem to say anything.
The talk time on this call is less than two minutes.
The car she asked for has not yet arrived.
A woman’s voice suddenly came from behind: “Miss Alyssa.”
Unsuspectingly, when someone called her, Alyssa was startled, turned her head and saw that it was Lina, she was relieved.
She calmed down for a while, and then asked aloud: “Mrs. Cain is looking for something to do with me?”
“Yes.” Lina nodded lightly, speaking slowly: “I hope Miss Alyssa, don’t always come to Luther to take him out, he is a child whose schoolwork matters.”
It was so high-sounding, but she just didn’t want her to have contact with Luther.
Lina’s words were much more beautiful than Claire’s words, but they couldn’t hide the fact that the sword was hidden in the words.
“Mrs. Cain cares about Luther so much, does he know? If he knew what you told me, he wouldn’t know what he would think.” Alyssa disliked Lina.
She is disgusted with many people in the Adams’ family.
“Miss Alyssa, this is our adult’s business, please don’t tell Luther.” Lina’s tone remained unchanged, and she looked very generous without any rush.
After all, Lina was still a round older than Claire, very calm.
Claire was arrogant and looked down on Alyssa, and she was not polite.
Alyssa watched Lina and slowly said, “Mrs. Cain, you are an elder in terms of generation. The age difference between me and Luther is not very big. I am just a child in front of you. I am nothing like a grown up.”
After she finished speaking, she smiled at Lina.
