Can't Get Away With You

Chapter 37 Gu Consortium Compromised, A Defeated Result

Lois looked at Joey. It was the first time that he had talked so much to her calmly, but she was annoyed and disdainful. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

If she didn't have to stay in Gu Family for a while, she might have left right moment!

"Okay." Lois looked at the porridge in the pot and said, "the porridge is almost ready. I'm going to see Maggie."

She took out two soup bowls, filled the bowl with porridge and soup, and put the salad on the tray. After finishing all these, She still didn't give Joey a reply but went upstairs.

Watching Lois go upstairs, Joey was discouraged. He had never dealt with family affairs, nor cared about them. However, this kind of torture had consumed most of his energy.

He didn't understand why Lois had a good attitude at the beginning, but suddenly became cold to him because he asked her to move back. They almost turned against each other.

Seeing that the family became lively again as Lois came back, Joey felt very satisfied. She thought that if Lois had any requirements or rules, he could even make some concessions as long as she didn't go too far.

Thinking of this, Joey went upstairs to the Princess Room.

Maggie had woken up. The food on the tray was put aside, and the mother and daughter were whispering intimately. The little girl was speaking that Lois hadn't been home for a long time so she hadn't played the puzzle game for a long time.

Joey's heart skipped a beat. Puzzle Game, He had never heard of this word in Maggie's moths before. She kept all her and Lois's daily lives but never shared them with him.

Joey left the Princess Palace in disappointment and went downstairs with a frown.

He didn't know since when Maggie didn't pay attention on this father. He vaguely remembered that when he came back home early, the little girl looked at him secretly. Her eyes were shining with admiration, comparable to all the bright stars in the world.

Since when, Lois and Maggie were getting farther and farther away from him? He didn't know and couldn't figure it out.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening after Lois fed Maggie. During this period, no one disturbed them except the servants who came to take the girl's temperature.

After playing for more than an hour, Maggie finally couldn't hold on any longer. She yawned frequently, but tried to smile and continue to play with Lois.

Lois held Maggie in her arms and patted her back gently. A few minutes ago, the little girl asked her mother to tell her a story, but she fell asleep before the end of the story.

Lois's story didn't stop, and her hands were still patting Maggie's back unhurriedly. At the same time, she had already stood up and put the little girl on the bed.

Noticing that the temperature dropped and Maggie's crying face was about to open her eyes, Lois hurriedly patted her back a few more times.

Maggie gradually adapted to the new environment. She withdrew the corners of her mouth and returned to her expressionless face when she was asleep.

Lois looked at the little girl's little face. Maggie's face was very soft, like her oval face, her eyes and eyebrows were also very similar to her, but her thin lips, which were exactly the same as Joey's, looked a little cold.

She could almost foresee that Maggie would look like a cold beauty when she grew up. Her lips were too thin and cold, but she just didn't want Maggie to look like her but Joey. She would rather her to be a burden than be a burden by others.

Looking at Maggie sleeping soundly, Lois bent over and kissed her on the forehead. She pinched her cheek lovingly and said, "good night, baby."

Lois stood up and left the Princess Palace. She gently closed the door and looked at the servant at the door. It was the woman who called her Young Mrs. Gu at the beginning. She smiled and said, "did Mrs. Gu ask you to come here?"

"Yes, Young Mrs. Gu." The maid nodded.

"Has anything happened in the villa recently?" asked Lois tentatively

"I'm only responsible for protecting Little Miss Maggie. I don't worry about anything else."

Hearing her answer, Lois was satisfied, but she didn't show it on her face. She nodded, turned around and went downstairs.

Lois went to the living room downstairs, put on her long clothes, pulled out her chestnut colored hair and looked at Joey.

Joey was also looking at her, and her eyes were still deep which she couldn't understand. Lois looked at the cigarette end at Joey's fingertips. The ashtray on the tea table in front of him was almost full.

Lois had never seen Joey like this. He had always been self-discipline. He always wore a shirt and a suit, looking like a tall elite.

Although he looked a little lazy and undisciplined, he was more unreal. Joey had always been an arrogant person in his heart. When had he never been so sad?

Thinking of him and Sally, Lois felt bad, but she still felt pity for him. He just fell in love with a woman who admired vanity.

Lois took out the car key from her pocket and said, "Maggie has fallen asleep. It's getting late. I should go back now. Bye."

"Lois." A hoarse male voice came from behind.

She stopped and walked to the door without looking back.

Joey threw the cigarette butt and strode to catch up with her. "Lois Shen!"

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Lois also quickened her pace.

However, her legs were not as long as Joey's. When her fingers touched the car door, Joey turned her over and pressed her against the door.

He was so strong as if he was going to nail her to the door. The pain from her back almost made her tremble.

Joey tried to calm down. He didn't dare to say anything. When he saw Lois reaching for the doorknob, he almost thought that she was about to leave his world.

Taking a deep breath, Joey stared at Lois and said, "I'll give you the last chance. Stay here."

Lois looked at him coldly, pursing her lips and saying nothing.

Joey hated her so much and showed no mercy to her. He gritted his teeth and smiled, revealing his ghastly white teeth. "If you still insist on divorcing, or even try to take the child away..."

He got close to Lois and said, "you should know both Gu Family and me. How easy do you think you can survive after offending me? "

Lois's lips tightened, and there was no fear in her eyes. She looked at Joey coldly.

Joey knew that his words were a little harsh, but she was afraid that it would hurt Lois's self-esteem. Looking down at Lois's fearless face, Joey touched her face and gently held her in her arms. "Lois, don't make trouble for me. Come home."

Looking at Joey in front of her, Lois sneered, with self-mockery and sarcasm in her eyes.

Joey held her in his arms gently. The embrace was as cold as before, but the smell had changed into the smell of tobacco that she didn't like.

Lois was a little speechless. Was she so trouble making in Joey's heart? She thought that the seven years she had been in love with him might be the end of her seven-year itch. She suddenly realized that she no longer loved Joey so much, or that her expectations for him fell into the abyss of despair. After that, she no longer had any reason to insist on loving him, so she could only endure the pain to give up.
