Free Web NovelChapter 209: She Was Like A Beggar
Sophie raised her eyes slightly and said, "As far as I know, Rob isn’t with Chris. It’s time for Chris to find someone to help him. Go and try to stay by his side."
When Finn heard this, he stared in shock. "But if I go to work, what about Anna?" "Are you stupid? You can find someone to take care of her!" Sophie said impatiently.
Finn lowered his head and then said in a low voice, "Sophie, you know Anna’s condition. Ordinary nannies can’t take care of her at all."
"Then find an extraordinary one. Do you need me to do such a small thing?" Sophie became even more impatient.
Finn seemed to be used to her tone. He paused and said, "Then I will try to find someone first."
Hearing his reply, Sophie was obviously displeased, but she didn’t say anything.
In the evening, Janice finally finishing cleaning up the feces.
She was so tired that she didn’t even want to drive the car. She took a taxi home.
When she came back, Christopher was reading a book in the living room.
She dragged her tired body over.
"I’m back."
When Christopher saw her coming back, he frowned and looked over. Seeing her obvious tiredness, he frowned and asked, "What have you been doing these two days? You look so tired."
Janice forced herself to cheer up. "Nothing. What do you want to eat?" She staggered towards the kitchen.
Christopher quickly pulled her back, but when he smelled her scent, he quickly covered his nose.
"How can you cook when you smell like this? Go take a shower."
Janice nodded her head in a daze. She was exhausted to the point that she forgot to take a shower. After that, she turned around and walked up the stairs.
Christopher looked at her back and shook his head in resignation. Then he walked to the kitchen.
After taking a shower, Janice went downstairs in high spirits. She went to the kitchen and planned to cook, but as soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Christopher coming out with a bowl of noodles. Seeing her coming, he frowned and walked to the dining table.
"Come and eat noodles." As he spoke, he placed the bowl of noodles on the dining table and returned to the kitchen.
Janice was briefly stunned before she walked over. She couldn’t help shedding tears as she looked at the familiar noodles.
She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she last had noodles cooked by him. At this time, when she looked at the bowl, she suddenly couldn’t control her emotions.
She slowly picked up her chopsticks and took a bite, only to find that it was still the same taste.
Thus, she began to eat without any regard for anything else.
By the time Christopher brought his bowl of noodles out of the kitchen, Janice had already finished it.
When she saw him coming out, she couldn’t help praising him, "So delicious."
Christopher did not care too much. He thought to himself, "That is cooked by me. How could it not be delicious?"
He took a seat on the dining chair, lifted his head only to meet her "hungry" eyes. He then asked, "What are you looking at?"
Janice stared at the noodles in his bowl, her big eyes blinking. She bit her lip and raised the empty bowl like a beggar.
"Well... Is there noodles left? I want to eat more."
Christopher stared at the empty bowl in her hand and couldn’t help frowning. He didn’t expect her to eat so much.
Thus, he gave his bowl to her.
She accepted it and unhesitatingly wolfed it down.
Christopher was dumbstruck.
He thought in his heart, "Isn’t it just a bowl of noodles? It seems that she has been hungry for a long time. This is exaggerating."
...
Janice finished eating before remembering something.
"But I have eaten your noodles. What are you going to eat?"
"Isn’t it too late to think of me?" Christopher thought while frowning. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"I’m not hungry."
"Oh." Janice didn’t say anything else, but her mood became quite cheerful.
In the evening, Christopher was so hungry that he couldn’t fall asleep. He glanced at Janice, who was sleeping under the bed soundly, and complained in his heart, "It’s all her fault. She ate my dinner and made me hungry, but she falls asleep like a pig now."
In fact, Janice was not asleep. Although her eyes were closed, she did not feel sleepy at all.
It was all because she ate too much tonight that she didn’t feel sleepy at all.
She turned over, and some noise came from the top of her head.
She paused and stole a glance up, only to find that Chris wasn’t asleep in bed.
Then she said, "Christopher, are you unable to fall asleep?"
She noticed that he had been tossing and turning for a long time.
Christopher frowned. "No."
Janice couldn’t resist a low chuckle.
"Let’s chat if you can’t fall asleep." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"About what?" Christopher frowned.
Placing her head on her arm, Janice replied, "Let’s talk about our past."
Christopher, however, did not make a sound.
Janice treated his silence as agreement.
She thought for a moment and said, "Christopher, do you still remember the first time we met? At that time, I mistook you for a blind date. The first time I saw you, I thought that if I could marry this man, I would be willing to not eat or drink for the rest of my life. When we got our marriage certificate and came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, I thought I was dreaming."
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but sigh.
Christopher listened quietly to her, but he couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, "It is really a dream for you to marry me."
As Janice reminisced, she couldn’t help sighing, "Back then, how could I regard you
as a poor boy? With your bearing and knowledge, you are obviously not an ordinary poor man."
Not to mention that he was born with an air of nobility.
<But I didn’t see it. I was silly enough back then. But I was lucky to make this mistake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married such a good man. Perhaps this is what people often say: Fortune favors fools.>
She couldn’t help sighing with emotion in her heart.
Christopher lay there and listened to her quietly.
In fact, he did not wish to know what had happened in the past because he felt that those things were extremely foolish, and not things that he could do.
But when he heard Janice mention it, he felt like he wasn’t that stupid. Rather, he found it quite interesting.
Just as he was getting interested, he suddenly fell silent.
When he looked down the bed, he discovered that she had fallen asleep and was even snoring weakly.
He frowned.
<Normally, she wouldn’t make any noise, so why is she snoring today? It seems that she is really tired today.>
However, he was quite curious about what she went to do recently, as well as the strange smell she gave off.
The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt. However, when he felt sleepy, he didn’t have the energy to think too much and slowly closed his eyes.
...
The next day, when Janice got up, Christopher did not go to the company. It was really rare. He was seriously reading the newspaper on the sofa in the living room.
Janice walked over to him.
"Aren’t you going to the company today?" Janice asked.
Christopher raised his head and glanced at her. "Have you forgotten that today is the day I go to the hospital to take off the bandages?"
Janice suddenly remembered. "Sorry, I forgot."
He frowned and thought to himself, "I didn’t expect you to remember it."
However, Janice recalled that she had promised Sophie that she would persist for seven days. It had only been two days, and if she suddenly refused to go, then all her previous efforts wasted.
"What should I do?" Janice thought.
Just as she was at a loss, Christopher put down the newspaper and said arrogantly, "Don’t even think about accompanying me. I hate being followed the most."
Janice was stunned. "You... Can you really go alone?"
He replied, "Why not?"
Janice stared at him. Although she felt a little apologetic not to go with him, she recalled that the doctor had previously said that his wounds were fine, so it should be fine if she didn’t go. When she thought of that, she nodded her head. "OK, Then I won’t go. But you have to be careful when driving."
After giving her instructions, she went to the kitchen.
Christopher stared at her figure and was stunned. He didn’t mean it. <But she really doesn’t want to go?
Where does the persistence in pestering me go?> He frowned.
After breakfast, he drove alone to the hospital to take off the bandages, but the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
<Doesn’t she say that she loves and cares about me? Why doesn’t she come to the hospital with me? Or could it be that what she said is fake, and she is deliberately lying to me?>
When he took off the bandage and was on the way home, he was still very unhappy. He thought, "Does she still remember why I got injured?"
Because he was very unhappy, he didn’t even notice when he drove past the intersection.
By the time he discovered it, it was already too late. He could only continue down that path.
Suddenly, a familiar car came into view from the opposite side of the road. He looked at the license plate. "Isn’t that Janice’s car?"
He subconsciously glanced at the place where she parked the car and found that it was a pet center.
<Very good, she didn’t accompany me to the hospital, but she actually came here. I really want to see what is more important than going to the hospital with me.>
Then he turned back at the intersection ahead and parked the car in front of the pet center. He unbuckled his seat belt. However when he was about to open the door and get out of the car, he saw a familiar figure slowly coming out from the pet center.
He took a closer look and saw that it was Janice.
She was wearing a blue overall. Although she was wearing a mask, he could recognize her at a glance from her walking posture.
"So weird. Why is she dressed so strangely?"
He paused, and then got out of the car, and walked toward her.
At this time, outside the pet center, Janice was checking the cart. She did not know what was going on, but the cart suddenly stopped moving.
She found a wrench at the front desk and was fixing it.
Suddenly, a figure stood in front of her. At first, she didn’t care. After all, there were many people coming and going, so it was normal for someone to stop and look at her curiously.
Somehow, she suddenly felt a chill.
