Chapter 911 Give Me A Reason (1/2)
Rita's face darkened even before David had finished speaking. David quickly stopped talking upon seeing Rita like this. He did not know whether he should continue, so he just stood there watching her.
”Give me a reason.” Considering the baby, Rita tried her best to control her anger.
The baby growing inside her was her child, but so was Dylan. Rita would never allow Dylan to lose his parents' company just because they were having another baby. To her, this was an act of rejection which David was contemplating, and she would not tolerate it.
”I just told you, honey. You are pregnant and...”
David spoke softly and then sneaked a peek at Rita only to discover that Rita's face had become even more gloomy. Therefore, he lowered his voice little by little until finally, he didn't dare to continue.
”Tell me the truth!” Rita had run out of patience and her beautiful eyes were staring intently at David's nervous face. She would not believe any half-truths or white lies. As David's wife, Rita was very capable of seeing straight through him.
After the last time that Rita had seen Nora in the house, she had not seen her again. It seemed that Nora had completely disappeared. But Rita could feel that Nora was still living in their house. It was a type of sixth sense she had whenever Nora was involved in her family affairs, a warning cry of impending danger.
There were clues, of course. The living room smelled of the perfume that David had reeked of in the early years when he had still loved Nora.
What was more, there was a set of unique tableware that was obviously not in the style their family preferred, and it did not belong to the maids, either. All of these clues indicated that Nora was still living in this house.
'But why haven't I seen her?
Is Nora hiding from me on purpose? Or is David not allowing her to see me?'
More and more questions arose in Rita's mind, troubling her and haunting her days. She felt an oppressive presence in her own home, and suspicion left her breathless.
'Now, David is even suggesting that we send Dylan away! The reason could not be so simple. What the hell is going on?
Maybe David wants to protect Nora and he's afraid that Dylan might hurt her? Therefore, he chose to use my pregnancy as an excuse to send Dylan away?' Rita could not help thinking this and her heart felt drained with the tension.
