Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 93

I interrupted her. "What are you talking about?"

"Ha, why are you so nervous? I'm just kidding. By the way, do you still remember Kayla?"

Kayla was my roommate back at college. She'd got along pretty well with me.

It was just that she went back to her hometown to develop after graduation.

Puzzled, I asked, "I remember. What of her?"

"She's divorced. She's been living in City B recently. In an office in City B, and she's got a kid with her."

Everyone has their own hardships, and that included Kayla.

I paused and said, "Let's have dinner together when she has time."

After hanging up the phone, I went back to the office and suddenly remembered that I had something to talk to Laurelie about. But after all, I didn't see her.

Bob told me, "The girl is still in Glestin."

He reminded me in silence, "She's probably gonna come back to the police station this afternoon."

Seeing the arrogant look on Bob's face, I felt amused. I stretched out my hand and patted him on the shoulder, laughing and saying, "You've investigated her whereabouts thoroughly. Do you still dare to say that you don't love her?"

Bob slapped away my hand and said with slanted eyes, "Tonight, let's go to Zack's house."

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"It's my birthday. Zack's cooking dinner." Bob stretched out his hand and hooked it around my shoulder. Tilting his head, he said, "Remember to prepare a gift."

Speaking of this, I forgot all about it.

After work, Benjamin made a call to him. "Need me to pick you up?"

I hesitated and said, "I have something to do. It's Bob's birthday."

Benjamin lowered his voice and asked, "Are you saying that you won't come home soon?"

"Mmhm," I said apprehensively, "Just wait for me at home."

Benjamin directly hung up the phone, and I took it as a yes.

September came to pick me up after work.

We went to a mall and I bought a black tie for Bob.

September saved a lot of trouble for herself by buying a watch for him.

Before we went to Zack's apartment, we met Joel. After the meeting in the next building, he happened to see September's car on the side of the road.

He waited for about ten minutes.

I looked at September, who was as calm as still water, and then at Joel, whose eyes were filled with helplessness and sadness. I carefully waited at the side.

I saw the two of them arguing from afar. At that time, Joel seemed to be explaining something, but September directly raised her hand to stop him.

She seemed pretty agitated and excited.

Her raised hand was as if an armor she put on herself, fending Joel away.

The two of them argued for two to three minutes. Then September turned directly into the car. She stopped the car beside me and said in a hoarse voice, "Get on the car. Bob and the others are waiting."

The atmosphere in the car became tense. After a moment of silence, I said, "Are you really not gonna give Joel a chance?"

September remained silent for a moment before coughing violently. Her hands trembled as she parked the car on the side of the road. It was a very uncomfortable sight to see her bending over.

Panicked, I asked, "What's going on?"

I placed a hand on her back and patted her.

She coughed for a while and stretched out her hand to hold my palm. She said softly, "It's okay, but I can't get too worked up. Don't mention him in front of me in the future. He is the past to me now."

I was silent and didn't dare to mention Joel again.

September calmed down for a while and started the car again. It began to rain heavily in City B when we got to Zack's apartment.

She parked the car in the garage and went upstairs with me. After knocking on the door, it was Teresa who opened the car as if she were the hostess.

Both of our faces turned dark when we saw each other. Then, I heard Victoria's voice call out, "Sis, who is it?"

Teresa turned around, sat down beside Victoria, and said, "A pair of flies."

I pursed my lips and chose to remain silent.

I didn't want to argue with her on Bob's birthday, so that I wouldn't make things awkward for Bob.

September threw the gift to Bob and went to Zack's bedroom to sleep. Her mental state seemed to be very poor.

I went in and covered her with the blanket and said, "Take a rest first. I'll wake you up later when dinner's ready."

September gave a faint smile and closed her eyes. Feeling a little uneasy, I reached out to feel her forehead. Her body temperature was normal.

Maybe it was because she hadn't been sleeping enough lately.

I gently closed the door and went out. Bob blinked at me and fixed his eyes on the kitchen. I followed his line of sight and saw Teresa helping Zack from one side, acting as if she were a gentle and careful wife.

I sat down at Bob and asked in a low voice, "Are you very familiar with them?"

"Bulls*it, not at all." Bob said in a low voice, "It must be Teresa trying to get close to my Zack and used me as an excuse."

I sighed, and Bob sighed as well. I handed the birthday gift to him and said, "That's really some bulls*it luck."

Bob was so depressed but he couldn't get rid of them. He stayed in silence for ten minutes with his eyes wide open. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Confused, Bob got up and went to open the door.

He asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

Laurelie handed the flowers in his hand to Bob and said, "Happy birthday."

Bob took it in confusion, and then he saw Laurelie saying to the man next to him, "Brother, go back, I'm already here, what could happen?"

Victoria was completely out of her mind!

Bob and I knew that Laurelie would not just stand there and let Victoria or ever Teresa do what they wanted so we simply stood aside, waiting for the show to be staged.

Bob passed me a cup of tea. I took it over and took a sip. Then I heard Laurelie say, "I think I know you from somewhere. Your name is... Teresa, right? You just turned thirty-four, didn't you? So that makes you what, fourteen years older than me? And what made you think a much younger man like Zack would have a taste for an old sack of s*it like you? And you, Victoria, right? If my memory serves me right, you are about twenty-seven. Jesus, you guys are almost fit for a life of retirement, the way I see it. And calling me a monster? Do you know how many boys were swarming after me when I first joined the military? Do you think you are the blind one or all the soldiers?"

Age was a woman's taboo!

Teresa and Victoria's faces turned pale with anger. All of a sudden, I was full of admiration for Laurelie. and I realized why all the other police officers in the station were so afraid of her.

But come to think about it, it was Teresa's own fault. Laurelie didn't even talk to her but was talking to Zack. She was the one who interrupted their conversation.

Besides, Laurelie had done enough homework about the two sisters of the Heaney family!

Victoria viciously said, "You..."

"If you finish that last word, you are gonna be leaving this apartment on a stretcher." Laurelie smiled and said, "I never take pity on women."

The rest of Victoria's words were stuck in her throat!

Bob said that Laurelie hated pretentious b*tches the most.

And Victoria and Teresa were exactly that kind of people.

Teresa, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Zack, she is being unreasonable. We should find a way to settle this."

Zack, who had been cooking, raised his head at this moment and looked at Laurelie. He was about to say something, but Laurelie smiled and said, "You know my temper."

Zack sighed and said, "Let's go out to eat, I don't wanna cook."

He deftly avoided talking about it at all.

I asked September to get up and go out with us for dinner. When we reached the door, Zack said, "You go ahead. I don't like parties."

The meaning was very simple. He didn't want to do all the cooking and toasting and all!

Not even at Bob's birthday party.

The two sisters of the Heaney family were really annoying!

Out of the apartment, the Heaney sisters left alone. Bob hummed a tune and said, "Finally! Let's go to have fun!"

It was his birthday so we had to do what he wanted to do.

But in the car, September asked us to take her to the hospital immediately. After saying that, she fainted.

We didn't know what to do so we took her to the hospital immediately.

We went to the hospital designated by September, took her to her attending doctor, and she didn't regain her consciousness until 20 minutes later.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked the doctor anxiously.

I didn't believe that she coughed up blood simply because she stayed up too often!
