Chapter 156: The Drama Is Not Suitable for You at All
When Hilla saw Bruce at the door, she lowered her head guiltily. She only drank fish soup and didn’t say anything.
Bruce placed the ingredients that he had bought on the table. Horton naturally took them from him and leaned to the side to watch the show. He smiled secretly and said, "Your wife is so realistic!"
When he finished speaking, Horton received a sharp glare from Bruce. Then, the man’s thin lips parted slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up.
"Do you have a wife?"
Horton didn’t know how to say.
He secretly looked at Halle on the sofa, but Halle didn’t give him a single eye, and she continued to joke with Hilla.
"You have a wife. Why don’t you serve her yourself?"
"There are servants!"
...
Horton didn’t want to have this kind of relative at all.
"Halle, why is Horton here? He even personally cooked the fish soup. Does he like you?"
With a click, the spoon in Halle’s hand fell into the bowl, startling the two men who were secretly competing beside her.
Bruce stepped forward, pulled Hilla’s soft little hand, and rubbed it in his palm. He asked, "Is the fish soup tasty?"
"Yes, it tastes good!"
Hilla praised generously, while Horton looked at Halle with a hint of nervousness.
"Is the fish soup cold? I will give you another one."
"No, it’s enough."
Halle curled her lips, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was a little odd.
After dinner, seeing Horton was still there, she held her chin to chase him away. "You have been staying in our house for a day. It is time to go!"
The floor in her kitchen had been cleaned up by him. Didn’t he see the panic on the nanny’s face?
If this goes on, Horton would not be in the hospital to see the patients and will fight for a job with her nanny.
Hilla looked at Horton suspiciously. She thought that Horton helped Halle because of
Bruce.
But she felt something strange now.
"I’ll go first. By the way, go to the hospital for a check-up three days later. I will arrange it. You can go directly."
Horton’s gaze fell on Halle. Halle smiled politely and distantly, "Thank you, Dr. Hutt. Thank you for your help."
"No trouble at all. If you feel uncomfortable, you can call me. I’ll turn on my phone all the time."
"Horton, are you going to change your career? When did you become so interested in obstetrics?"
Hilla frowned. She seemed to have sensed something unusual.
She could not help but tease, "You care so much about Halle. Why haven’t I seen you being so careful when I was sick? Could it be..."
"Every time you get sick, I come over with a phone call."
Horton hurriedly retorted. Although every time he came, it was because of Bruce’s "intimidation", no matter what, he was also here. Every time Hilla had a headache or a fever, he always tried his best.
"You are not so concerned about me anyway. You, you wouldn’t..."
"It’s too late. I’ll leave first."
Horton walked in a hurry and did not delay for another second. It was as if there was a rabbit chasing him from behind and he left swiftly.
Seeing this, Halle slowly stood up and said with a calm expression, "I’ll go back to my room first."
"Halle, I’ll go with you. I’ll accompany you tonight."
Hilla stepped forward and held Halle’s arm. Halle turned to look at Bruce, who was not far away, and smiled, "My belly is already so big, and you still want to take half of my bed? Dream on."
"Then I’ll send you back to your room. Anyway, you’ve already slept in the afternoon. I don’t believe that you’ll sleep so early."
Hilla actually had something to ask Halle, and it was not convenient for Bruce to listen.
After all, it was normal for them to have a secret conversation. Bruce did not object. Halle had already made it clear that she would not let Hilla spend the night with her, and Hilla still had to go back to their room.
"I also have some things to deal with. I’ll go back to the study first."
Halle’s gaze had just landed on Bruce, but he was very tactful. He got up first and
went upstairs into the study room.
Seeing this, Halle had no choice but to allow Hilla to bring her into the room.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the room, Hilla’s spirit of gossip was already aroused. Seeing Halle sit down on the bed, she quickly asked, "Halle, are you and Horton..."
"Dr. Hutt is Bruce’s cousin. He has taken good care of me and helped me a lot." Hilla hadn’t finished speaking when she was interrupted by Halle.
Hilla frowned and stared at Halle, saying, "Halle, why do I feel like you are feeling guilty?"
"I don’t feel guilty. I just think that Dr. Hutt had helped us a lot, but you still suspect. I feel bad."
Halle’s words seemed to make sense, but Hilla felt that something was wrong. "Halle, you seem to be avoiding the question I want to ask."
Halle was really strange. In the past, Halle was not like this. Although Halle was considerate and their personality was not the same, Halle was not so "considerate" before.
Halle’s face darkened. She was obviously unwilling to talk about this. "What question are you asking?"
"I..."
What was she going to ask?
Hilla choked. Halle suddenly became so serious. She was actually a little nervous.
She couldn’t help but take a deep breath and calm herself down. "Halle, I think that
Horton likes you."
Halle smiled faintly, but it made Hilla shiver. She felt that it was a fake smile. "You also said that it’s just your feeling. Dr. Hutt doesn’t feel like this."
"No, I saw that he really cared about you. At first, I also thought that it was impossible for you and Horton. How could he... But he seems to be really concerned about you recently. Halle, if Horton really likes you, do you want to consider accepting him?"
Hilla said seriously. Although Halle was pregnant with someone else’s baby, it might not be fair to Horton, but if they had feelings, they could forget about these things.
Although she used to think that Halle lived a good life with a child alone, she was still alone after all. She thought that if Halle could be with Horton, it might be good and Halle would not have to work so hard.
She would be more at ease.
"Hilla, I’m fine now. It’s enough to have this baby. A person like me shouldn’t get others into trouble, and this is unfair to Dr. Hutt. Also, he doesn’t have the same idea
as you said. Don’t get him involved."
Halle was extremely serious, and Hilla had never seen that before.
She was sure that Halle really did not have any thoughts about Horton.
Hilla nodded. It was true. She shouldn’t ask Horton to take care of Halle and a baby that doesn’t belong to him. Since Halle did not have such thoughts, she had to be careful in the future and let Horton meet Halle less.
...
...
Halle lived at home and Hilla naturally stayed at home for two days.
Every day, she would chat with Halle and have meals, which made her feel a bit more comfortable.
"What’s the matter? Do you feel uncomfortable again?"
Halle saw Hilla put down the lychee and covered her belly with her hand, frowning. She couldn’t help but think, "Did you eat too much food these past two days?"
"Oh, a little. They’re delicious."
After recovering in one breath, she did not feel that much pain anymore.
Hilla smiled and picked up the lychees on the plate, and the next second, Halle snatched them away.
"You are not allowed to eat these things, and you are not allowed to eat those in the fridge."
"Well... Halle, you can’t eat them, but you should allow me to taste them. It’s so hot!"
Hearing that she couldn’t eat, Hilla’s face suddenly changed. She was so bored at home that she could only eat and sleep with Halle every day.
Halle was serious and did not give way at all. "No matter how hot it is, you are not allowed to eat anymore. If you can’t control yourself, I will find someone who can control you. If Bruce knows that you eat these until you have diarrhea, I will see if he will let people send these over again."
This was to kill her!
Hilla felt a lump in her throat. She was indeed Halle, and her methods to deal with her were always so rude.
What else could she do? She stared at the plate of lychees that she had just eaten a few, gritted her teeth, and pushed it to the side.
Out of sight, out of mind!
"Now is the time to taste fruits. But I am not allowed to eat many fruits. This is raising me like a rabbit."
"You still dare to complain? Look at what Bruce has done for you. Where can I find such a fat rabbit?"
Halle lowered her lips and smiled. She had just been on her period a few days ago. It was easy to get cold.
Hilla rolled her eyes and covered her face with her hands. She tilted her head and looked at Halle with a smile, "Have you ever seen such a beautiful fat rabbit?"
"You are!"
Halle laughed in amusement, but couldn’t help but remind Hilla after laughing, "If you feel uncomfortable, remember to see the doctor. Don’t mind. Isn’t your period abnormal this time?"
"I was easily abnormal in the past. Besides, I just suffered a little pain and had diarrhea!"
"If you have diarrhea, you have to take it seriously."
"Alright, Halle, I know. Maybe I’ll be fine after a while."
Hilla smiled. Halle shook her head helplessly. She was no longer a child. She couldn’t listen to everything she said.
As they chatted, the door opened.
Margaret, who had a graduation party for three days, had gone home!
"Oh my god! I am so tired."
As soon as Margaret came back, she collapsed on the sofa. Hilla was about to speak when she saw Margaret suddenly sit up from the sofa, staring at the plate of lychee on the table.
"Heavens, there’s food!"
"Didn’t you have meals for three days outside?"
Looking at Margaret, Hilla couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Her hair and body smelled pungent!
She quickly pulled Halle to the sofa and told her to stay away from Margaret.
"It’s not that I haven’t eaten meals, it’s just that I haven’t drunk any water. But the lychees are delicious, why aren’t you eating?"
Margaret looked up and saw Halle, and immediately said happily, "Halle, why are you here? Did Hilla bring you over to the confinement period?"
Margaret was about to rush over, but Hilla quickly blocked her. Frowning, she said, "I advise you to take a shower quickly. Your brother will be back soon. If he sees you like this, he will probably break your legs."
The Andersons’ upbringing was very strict. Otherwise, Margaret would not have taken three years of hard work to graduate from university.
Although she was a rich young lady, she did not have the arrogance of those rich second generations.
At the mention of Bruce, Margaret immediately gave up on hugging Halle and ran upstairs.
Soon, she ran down again.
"Where is my room? Why did my room disappear after a few months?"
At the mention of the room, Hilla came to her senses in an instant and said, "Your brother said that three bedrooms are too wasteful. We usually don’t have any guests, so he changed one."
"Ah! Why did you change my room? Is Bruce trying to kill me? It’s a tragedy!"
"You can use my room first."
Halle kindly reminded her, and Margaret immediately lost her spirit. "Forget it. I feel like I am an abandoned girl. There is no place for me here. I should go to the hotel."
After saying that, Margaret picked up her bag and reluctantly walked out.
Hilla was about to say something when she saw Margaret, who was about to reach the door, suddenly turn around and look at her pitifully, "I don’t have the money to stay in the hotel. Hilla, ask my brother to transfer the pocket money for next month to me in advance."
...
She knew it! How could Margaret be such an easy woman to compromise? But the bitter drama was not suitable for her!
"I have some money."
Halle said, feeling that it was not good for Margaret to stay in the hotel.
Hilla frowned and gave Margaret a thumbs- up. She took out the card in her bag reluctantly. "Here, your brother just gave it to me. There seems to be thirty to fifty thousand inside..."
"Thank you, love you!"
Hilla only felt her face was kissed, and then the person in front of her quickly disappeared, only the sound of the door closing echoed in her ears.
She now seriously suspected that Margaret came back just to get her money.
"Halle, do I look like a sucker?"
Hilla looked back at Halle uncertainly, pointing at her face.
Halle could not help but laugh. "It’s all because you doted on her."
"The Anderson family is so rich. Why did she value money so much?"
Hilla covered her chest, feeling her heart that had been stuffed full by the bank card before was empty now.
"Margaret is a good girl."
Halle said with a smile. The curve of the corners of her mouth also slowly rose. As expected, it was good to have more people. It was much more lively than her staying alone in the quiet yard of the farmhouse.
When her child was born, she would not feel lonely in the future and would be very lively at all times like now.
At this time, Margaret, who was rushing out of the Lakeshore Center with the bank card, was in a good mood. Sure enough, the book was right. When you couldn’t conquer the man, go to her woman!
Soon, when she ran into a limited edition Bugatti, she did not think that way.
Holding the bank card in her pocket that had not yet been warmed up, she only hated that she had not conquered the whole family and inherited tens of billions of legacy of her family!
