Chapter 457
Shelton's words made me feel a little amused. I looked at the man and said word by word, "I don't need anyone's protection. I can protect myself."
After I said that, I turned around and left.
As soon as I took a step, I heard Shelton behind me ask, "What about Glenn?"
His words made me stop at once.
I didn't know why, but when these words came out of Shelton's mouth, I couldn't help but feel scared.
When I left him, I was betting that he hadn't injected anything into Glenn, but even now, I was not sure about it.
After all, that was Shelton.
This man hid his desire too well, and what he had done before indicated that he was definitely not a good man.
I stood still, but my hands clenched into fists.
Before I could speak, Shelton asked me again, "How's Glenn doing recently? Is he okay? Has he had a fever?"
I bit my lip with my teeth and persuaded myself not to be impulsive. Then I said, "He's fine. Thank you for your concern."
"Oh." Shelton gave a bland response and continued, "If he had fever and you don't know what to do, it may not be too late to come to me again."
What did this mean?!
There seemed to be a certainty in his tone!
What made him so sure that Glenn would have a fever!?
I can't make a bet with Glenn's health. After thinking for a while, I asked, "Didn't you say that Glenn would have a fever when he is seven or eight? He is not yet six now."
"Oh, there are always individual differences in things like this."
Shelton replied.
I didn't look back so I couldn't see his expression.
For a moment, I panicked, but I was afraid that this was a trap given to me by Shelton, to make me beg him.
I can't be entangled with him anymore.
However, in case something happened to Glenn...
When I was in a panic, footsteps came from outside. Soon, I saw Jessica coming over. She looked at us and shouted, "Lottie." "Mom, why are you here?"
When I saw Jessica, I got nervous all over.
I knew that Shelton couldn't do anything in front of me, but I still felt nervous. I was afraid that he would hurt my family.
Or threaten me with them.
Shelton saw Jessica, and said in a gentle and intimate voice, "Hello Auntie, I am Lottie's friend."
He knew how to make people like him. Hearing how Jessica called me, he call me Lottie immediately to follow Jessica.
I turned my head and said in a unfriendly tone, "Mr. Cowell, please don't try to get close to me. Only my mother can call me Lottie."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Shelton was not angry. He said with a faint smile, "Auntie, it's so late, wouldn't you want to get rest?"
Shelton seemed to be very innocent. Although Jessica was in her fifties, she had been locked in the mental hospital for most of her life. She knew little about people's thoughts.
Seeing him greet like this, she immediately gave him a friendly smile. "Hello, you are Lottie's friend, right?"
"No." I pulled Jessica and said, "I'm not familiar with him. Let's go back."
After that, I turned to Shelton and said, "Mr.
Cowell, I will accompany my mother back to rest first. I won't see you off."
"Janetta."
"Mr. Cowell, good night."
I ignored him and left with Jessica.
All in all, I really don't want people close to me to have anything to do with Shelton.
If I had any regrets, the one I regretted most would be having had such a relationship with Shelton.
Shelton didn't say anything more.
I sent Jessica back to her room. After I went back, Jessica did not let me go. Instead, she pulled me and said, "This Mr. Cowell, does he like you?"
"No." I wanted her not to worry about it, but to be honest, it seemed that there was no family who cared about me as much as Rosy since childhood.
I swallowed back my words and said, "I have someone I like. He's in City Y now. I'll take you to see him if there's a chance."
"All right."
Jessica nodded and didn't ask much.
I left her room and went to the main hall again. Fortunately, Shelton had left.
The next day, I went shopping with Jessica to buy clothes. Town S's business was not very prosperous. Even so, Jessica was still happy like a child.
We entered a shopping mall. She looked around and was also very interested in everything.
Even for the elevators. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
When we got to the store, I asked her to try on a piece of clothing. Jessica was quite fond of it, so she took it into the locker room.
However, she came out of the locker room soon.
She took my hand and walked away directly.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" I saw that Jessica acted like this, and I couldn't help but worry about her.
This time, I brought her out alone. What I'm most afraid of is that she is ill, so I can't control her."
Jessica shook her head, held my hand tightly and said, "That dress costs a few thousand yuan. It's too expensive."
I was stunned for a moment before I figured Jessica's words out.
Her consumption value remained at 30 years ago.
At that time, ten grand is already a huge amount for her.
I pulled her and said, "Mom, I have money. You can have a try."
"No, no." Jessica waved her hand.
I didn't dare to push her. I frowned slightly and said in a very kind tone, "Mom, don't worry. I'm rich now. We can all make millions a year."
When I said a million, Jessica's expression was a little frightened.
She looked up at me and said in a astonishing tone. "That much?"
"That's right, so you can have a try if you want, don't worry."
After listening to what I said, Jessica finally set her mind at rest.
This day went much smoother than I had imagined. Jessica bought seven to eight pieces of clothing under my guidance.
The two of us picked up our clothes and went to drink coffee.
She was not used to drinking coffee, so I ordered black tea and ice cream for her.
It seemed that Jessica had never eaten such delicious food before. When she ate, her smile was particularly beautiful.
I took out my mobile phone and took a picture of these moments.
I stayed in Town S for three days, and then I prepared to leave.
When I packed up my things and told them that I was going back, Jessica didn't say anything but grabbed my sleeve tightly.
I knew that she couldn't bear to leave me, so I said, "Mom, don't worry, I will come back to see you later."
Jessica shook her head and said nothing.
"She looks very strange." I couldn't help but feel nervous. "Could she have a seizure?" I thought.
Ryan, aside, also persuaded her, "Charlotte still has a job at the City Y. Her kids are over there, too. She has to go back."
Jessica still shook her head and did not speak.
Ryan and I looked at each other and didn't know what to do. It's impossible for me to shake off Jessica's hand either.
After catching me for a long time, Jessica said, "Can you bring me along with you?"
