Chapter 13 Eat Long-Life Noodles
Chapter 13 Eat Long-Life Noodles
Seeing that Claire was making threatening gestures, Henry didn't have much reaction. He just squinted slightly and looked at her indifferently, as if it was none of his business.
There was no need for him to act with this woman. From the beginning, he made such a request just to revenge on Claire. Otherwise, how many women would scramble to climb into Henry's bed and give birth to a child for him if his name was called?
Seeing that Shirley wouldn't come out in a short time, Claire couldn't help but show her cards to Henry. "I really don't know what you are thinking. If you don't like me, why do you bother me? I have said that I don't have the prominent family as Miss Molly. Now do you believe me? We are just like two people from two different worlds. In my world, as long as you look up, you can reach the sky, or even the ceiling. I don't know what you are thinking about. "
Was this a game for the rich? If that was the case, why would this man sometimes be inexplicably gentle to her, and sometimes considerate, making her unable to resist at all.
Hearing that, Henry raised his chin slightly. After taking a glance at Claire, he sneered and said, "You are not the one who has the final say in this game. I am the one who has the final say. I have the right to decide when to end it. It's impossible to end it before you give birth to the baby. You just need to remember this, Claire. "
With a dull expression on her face, Claire kept staring at Henry for a while and then sneered, "I really can't understand you. Sometimes, you are a gentle man, but sometimes you are more terrible than a devil! Henry, what kind of person are you? "
Facing Claire's words, Henry just smiled without saying anything. Sometimes he couldn't see clearly the darkness in his heart, let alone the inexperienced Claire? If she could read Henry's mind, she might be the one sitting in his seat now!
Just as the two of them were in a stalemate, Shirley came over with her slow steps. Claire shivered unconsciously, then stood up quickly and leaned forward eagerly. She took the bowl for Shirley and supported her carefully.
In the process, Claire was anxious and accidentally scalded the back of her hand. But she acted as if nothing had happened. She just squeezed a smile and tried to pretend as if nothing had happened. But her little trick was seen through by Henry.
To be honest, Henry was not used to eating such food. Just looking at the junk environment around him, he felt that he had no appetite at all. Of course, this thought only lingered before the bowl of long- life noodles was taken out.
The noodles looked ordinary, but there was a trace of fragrance in it, which made Henry's Adam's apple roll inexplicably.
After casting a glance at Henry, Shirley took the initiative to help him find a way out. "We're from an ordinary family. We haven't bought anything recently, and there's still some meat left. I'll add it in. I know you may not get used to it. If you don't want to eat, I won't force you... After all, the living environment is too poor. "
She could understand. After all, she had been through this before... While thinking, Shirley's eyes became more and more muddled. The past could not be recalled. It was good for Claire to find the person she liked, but if it kept going on like this, it would be good...
Claire was stunned. After hearing Shirley's words, she looked in the direction of Henry. However, to her surprise, Henry didn't say a word. He just reached out his hand and took the bowl over. He blew the noodles a little cold elegantly and then put it into his mouth.
Although this bowl of noodles was not as luxurious as what he usually ate, nor was it mellow and delicious, for some reason, it stirred up a big ripple in Henry's heart. When they were in poverty, his
mother had cooked something similar to this for him, but unfortunately, now he had no chance to recall the tenderness from his mother again.
By chance, Henry recalled what had happened in the past from Shirley. His nose twitched. Afraid of being seen through, Henry gulped down the noodles. Seeing this, Shirley smiled knowingly...
It seems that Henry is a little different from the way people from outside describe him. This is a... Good boy. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
When the three of them were having dinner happily, the dilapidated door was suddenly kicked open. Frightened, Claire's chopsticks fell to the ground with a snap.
Almost instinctively, Claire stood up to protect her mother, and then stared at the person at the front door with burning eyes. She was too familiar with this scene. It was about the mid-month, and the debt collectors would come in these days. But now she was so poor that she couldn't spare any money.
The leading man looked quite flamboyant, only wearing a vest. He frivolously smoothed his bald head, and then strode in. He stared at Claire and teased, "Oh, I can't see. You are still having dinner. We are hungry and come here to do something."
As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently fell on the back of Henry. As Henry was standing with his back to the door, the man didn't notice who the owner of the back was at the first time. If they had known that, how could they have done such a reckless thing in front of Henry?
Claire was a little confused, but in fact, she was also afraid. But Shirley was there, so she couldn't shrink back. She was still young and could withstand the torment of the other party. But if it was Shirley, it would be different.
Trembling, Claire took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. "We just gave you the money last month, didn't we? Why are you here again? Didn't you say that you would give us a few more months?
Why are you so unreasonable? Or do you remember the wrong time? If you are hungry, why don't you have some noodles and then... Go home? "
As she spoke, Claire forced a smile. Although she knew that there was no chance to turn the situation around, she was still stubborn to fight for something. During the process, Claire couldn't help but look at Henry. If Henry was willing to help, there might be a chance.
But Henry seemed to know nothing at all, and his eyes seemed to hold only a bowl of noodles. Facing such a formidable enemy, the man could still eat so happily, as if it was none of his business, which made Claire feel a burst of madness. If Henry was willing to help her, she would at least have some confidence.
The bald man came up with a sly smile. He looked at Claire up and down and teased, "Have some noodles? We are not interested in it... In fact, if you can't pay your father's gambling debt, it's no problem. I think you are also a good girl... Although you're a little smaller, it's okay as long as it looks good. It's the same even if the light is turned off. Don't you think so? "
As he spoke, he nodded his head, as if he was really studying something. Subconsciously, Claire covered her chest and cursed the rascal.
But for her weak and useless words, the other party was only endless ridicule and ridicule, which did not work at all. At this time, the dinner was over. Henry took out a piece of wet tissue and wiped his mouth gently. He nodded at Shirley as if to express his gratitude for the reception.
At the same time, the bald man also noticed Henry who was standing in the corner. When he came in just now, his attention was all attracted by Claire, so he couldn't be seen in his eyes.
With a surprised smile on his face, the bald man stared at the back of Henry and said, "You said you were too poor to afford the money. How could you bring a man back... Is he your patron? This is much
easier. Since your sugar daddy is here, you can pay the interest directly. Our leader said that we don't expect you to pay the principal and interest at one time. As long as you pay the interest, we can give you a few more days off. Of course... He also added a little. If you can't afford it, you can go to accompany him and write it off. Do you think this is a good suggestion? "
This man was well-dressed. He must be a rich man. Why didn't he notice just now!
Claire was stunned and became angry at once. For her, this matter was like a painful spot, which would hurt as long as he poked it. She rushed up in a hurry and shouted, "Sugar daddy? You are the sugar daddy! Your whole family is the sugar daddy! He is my... What are you doing? Let go of me! Who allowed you to touch me? "
But before Claire could finish her words, she was grabbed by the man and pulled into his arms. At the same time, Henry happened to stand up. Then he turned around and put his hand on the bald man's wrist. With a little strength, he said with a serious smile, "Yes, I'm her sponsor. What can I do for you?"
