The Love Book

Phoebe Barnes opened her mouth and gripped the phone harder in her fingers, “She’s not dead is she?”

“…”

King Pei said leisurely: “They say that women in love have a negative IQ, you are an IQ upgrade, she is indeed not dead, seven years ago is an oops, now back, this is the most I can tell you, as for what else you want to know, go ask him yourself.”

Phoebe Barnes, “…”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Really not dead … that’s why he was so elated?

Although already guessed, but was confirmed by him, the heart still steeply cooled a large.

She didn’t speak for a while, her heart mixed.

King Pei probably can also think of her mood at this time, sighed, symbolic soothing two sentences, “you and Kemp married not long ago, but his nature is also estimated to understand some, although he is not a good man, but also did not intend to do what cheating such a boring thing, if he likes is someone else in his heart, will definitely divorce you directly, even because of the initial promise, the marriage is not divorced, he will also confess with you clearly.”

Phoebe Barnes closed her eyes, she knew all this, he didn’t care to do that kind of what cheating, but this kind of directness and frankness would make her feel more terrible.

It’ s like … she was in bed with him one moment and the next moment she was accused of leaving Ross’ house.

After a moment of silence, she lowered her voice, “He hasn’t told me anything yet, probably because he doesn’t think I need to know.”

King Pei’s smile remained unchanged, and he did not care if he would hurt her at all, saying bluntly: “You don’t know what kind of virtue he has? The woman who has been dead for seven years suddenly appeared, he himself has not yet recovered, how can he talk to you? You should understand yourself that you are not even a friend except for being his nominal wife.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes frowned slightly.

Not even a friend …

…

After that night, for several days in a row, Kemp Ross came home late and had nothing to say to her, even if he hadn’t been drinking.

She didn’t have the courage to ask, nor did she have a reason to speak, her heart felt like a thorn in her side, it was hard.

I was also distracted when I went out shopping with Nancy MO.

“Phoebe, what’s wrong with you?”

In the mall, Nancy MO turned her head and gave her a puzzled look.

“It’s okay, if you’re done shopping let’s go back.” Phoebe Barnes shook her head and came out fully veiled, wearing only a hat and looking extremely low-key, but her face really didn’t look very good.

Nancy MO wrinkled her eyebrows, “We just got out and you’re going back? Is there something wrong with you?”

Phoebe Barnes, fearing she would ask her again about Kemp Ross, casually said, “I’ve even lost my job now, do you think I’m in the mood to hang out here with you?”

Nancy MO put down the clothes in her hands, directly handed over a blank stare, “Lu less has promised you? You just wait for the reply on the line, what are you worried about?”

Phoebe Barnes stared at the white wedding dresses in the window and said, somewhat lost in thought, “How do I know he doesn’t have another agenda, I don’t want to jump into the fire again.”

Nancy MO picked another pair of shoes and gestured on her feet, while saying, “Didn’t he say he wouldn’t touch you? As long as you don’t sleep with him, you don’t care what other purposes he has, if you don’t start receiving plays, the flowers will be cold, those freshmen at the theater will soon graduate again, how much time do you think you have left?”

Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips and was speechless.

Indeed, the entertainment industry is changing blood so quickly that there is not much time left for her.

She thought about it and took her cell phone out of her bag to call Kelsey Long, but found that it was dead.

Waving at the woman across the room, “Lend me your phone!”

Nancy MO looked down to try on her shoes and handed her the phone without raising her head, only halfway through she seemed to jolt awake, suddenly remembering something, and busily retracted, giggling, “Uh, I remembered that my phone just reminded me that it’s down, and I forgot to charge it, so you can either ask the waiter to borrow a charger.”

Phoebe Barnes didn’t think much of it and casually put the phone back, “Forget it, go back and call again.”

Nancy MO lowered her head and breathed a secret sigh of relief.

The photos she took of Kemp Ross meeting another woman that day were still in her phone, and she wasn’t thinking about showing them to her just yet.

Bored to death, Phoebe Barnes also got up and casually looked at the clothes.

Nancy MO stole a few glances at her, casually took a piece of clothing on her body, and pretended to ask carelessly, “How are you and Ross?”

Phoebe Barnes’ fingers fingered the dress for a moment, then dropped her eyes and smiled softly, “It’s the same, what could have changed?”

“No change at all, still the same as before?” Nancy MO suddenly wrinkled her eyebrows and tugged at her arm.

Phoebe Barnes was stunned and turned her eyes to look at her in disbelief, “Don’t you know all about it?”

Found himself reacting a bit strongly, Nancy MO busy to let go of her hand, pulled the corners of his lips, dry smile and casually pulled: “You said before, he wanted to get you pregnant for grandpa? So I was just wondering if you two have made any progress lately, or … if you’ve noticed anything unusual about him.”

The last sentence, she said slowly, her tone careful, her gaze fixed on her reaction.

I wonder if she didn’t notice it at all? Or was that Kemp Ross too well disguised?

Phoebe Barnes changed her expression, but it was fleeting, and looked at her and laughed to herself, “The baby isn’t even conceived yet, so what progress do you think can be made? Besides, it’s not like he let me have the baby because he wanted it.”

Nancy MO followed up by asking, “So are you going to fight or not?”

Phoebe Barnes was silent.

Want it or not?

That day at the hospital when he opened his mouth, she instinctively wanted to refuse, and at night heard his drunken dream words, she suddenly felt that this child came into the world will be loved?

Even if Ross senior love, but grandfather is old, can live a few years no one can predict, his beloved back, himself and he can not go to the end is still an unknown, the child now arrives must be inappropriate.

Even for the sake of her mother’s son to keep her place in the Ross family, she will not use her child.

Pursing her lips, she bowed her head and spoke out clearly, “Don’t.”

Nancy MO heart suddenly relieved, and then some worry asked: “always can not conceive, then you are not afraid of his questioning?”

Phoebe Barnes looked up at a medium trench coat and casually picked it up and tried it on, gently laughing to herself, “He probably doesn’t care about me right now, it’s not certain who will end up having this baby.”

“I’m going to try this dress on.”

“…”

Nancy MO froze, watching her walk into the fitting room, her mind pondering the meaning of her words just now.

A few minutes later, Phoebe Barnes came out, khaki medium-length trench coat, her temperament completely showed, lining the two legs more slender and straight, calm and not old-fashioned.

She stood in front of the mirror and turned around and asked, “How about this dress, Nancy?”

Nancy MO was lost in thought and came to her senses cold, “Eh?”

Phoebe Barnes lifted her eyes toward her and asked faintly, “What’s wrong with you?”
