Chapter 279 Knocked On The Door In The Middle Of The Night
Clarissa asked Gelen to inform him of the result, and Aaron was unwilling to accept it.
But it was of no use. Fortunately, he signed the contract with Energence International Crop for only five years, and there was less than one year left. He could treat this period of time as a cooling-off period and think about what he could do after the termination of a contract.
Clarissa thought that this matter was over.
As for the relationship between him and Gabriela, it was none of her business.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
Lauren's birthday was approaching. Clarissa thought about it for a long time and found out no matter how she arranged her schedules, she could not celebrate Lauren's birthday with her in person.
Since Lauren went abroad, she had never contacted anyone at home except that she would call Clarissa from time to time.
Including Dexter and her biological elder brother Alex Jones.
As a bystander, Clarissa couldn't say anything about this. She could only care about Lauren as much as she could, so that Lauren wouldn't feel lonely abraod.
On Lauren's birthday, Clarissa called her at the first second of that day. It was exactly twelve o'clock at night.
The phone was soon connected, and Lauren's happy voice came from the phone, "Clarissa!"
"My dear, happy birthday."
"Thank you."
Clarissa could hear that Lauren was very delighted, and she was influenced by her laughter and asked, "Miss Jones, tell me honestly. Do you miss me?"
"Of course! I miss you so much! But I don't know when you can come to see me."
"Don't worry. In another half month, when my godson is born, I'll come to see him together with his godfather."
"What if it's a goddaughter?"
"That's better. She can be friends with Anne, and Anne can take care of her. How perfect it is!"
Lauren shook her head and sighed, "Tut, you're so lucky to have a daughter without giving birth to her. Seriously, it's really hard to conceive a baby. If you don't get pregnant personally, you really can't experience the hardship."
The smile on Clarissa's face gradually disappeared.
"Can you live alone? Do you need me to come in advance?"
Lauren refused her immediately.
"No, I hired a servant. It's okay."
Clarissa sighed.
She began to speak and then hesitated several times, not saying what she wanted to say.
Lauren probably knew what she wanted to say and smiled, "Clarissa, don't worry about me. Although I am not that strong, I am a little stronger than you think. I can do it."
Clarissa nodded. After thinking for a while, she chatted with Lauren about the gossip she had heard during this period of time.
"Do you still remember your Prince Charming Jameson?"
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"I just knew that he has an ambiguous relationship with Natalia, and he is actually a home-wrecker. If we could know it earlier, you wouldn't have adored him so much, right?"
Lauren's back stiffened.
Her fingers which were holding the phone trembled slightly.
After a while, she smiled reluctantly.
"Really? I haven't heard of that."
"Yes. Ruben invited me and Anderson to drink in the bar, and I accidentally found that he liked Natalia. Then Anderson told me that he and Natalia broke up because of Jameson."
Lauren didn't speak.
Clarissa thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Lauren, this kid... has nothing to do with Jameson, right?"
"What are you thinking about? Of course!"
"That's good."
Clarissa pretended to be glad and patted her chest.
Lauren didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore, and asked, "Have you returned to Visstead during this time?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just want to ask how my dad and brother are doing these days."
Clarissa thought for a while and said, "Your brother and your sister-in-law are fine. I heard that your father is not in good health recently, but he is not seriously ill and he should be all right. Lauren, fathers all love their daughters. If you really care about him, try to communicate with him, okay?"
"Now the child is about to be born. He can't object anymore if you've given birth to your child. At most, he will get angry, but he will forgive you in the end. Why do you have to go aboard and stay away from them? You're family!"
Lauren was silent for a while and then said softly, "I know. I will think about it."
Clarissa nodded, and they chatted for a while. At this time, someone knocked on Lauren's door.
"Is anyone there?" Clarissa asked.
Lauren frowned.
The place where she lived was a high-end apartment. She seldom went out and rarely met guests.
Moreover, she had no friends in this country, so she really can't figure out who would come so late at night.
After thinking about it, she said to Clarissa, "Yeah, it should be the landlord or the Filipino maid I hired. She just went out to buy groceries and has not come back. I guess that she forgot to bring the key. I'll go out and have a look."
"Okay. I'll hang up. Be careful."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lauren walked towards the door.
When she walked to the door, she looked out through the peephole and she was shocked.
She suddenly straightened up, and her face turned pale.
Immediately afterwards, she turned around and walked into the house quickly.
Lauren walked extremely fast. Soon, she walked into the bedroom and locked the door.
She walked back and forth twice nervously, only to feel that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, as if someone was beating a drum in her heart violently and rapidly.
How could it be him?
Why was he here?
No, it was impossible!
She must have mistaken. Yes, it must be like this.
Lauren swallowed, suddenly remembered something and laughed self-mockingly.
What was she excited about?
What if he came here?
He couldn't take back what he had said, and he...
Suddenly, she felt bitter in heart and her eyes were brimming with tears.
She was sitting on the bed in a daze. At this moment, there was a sudden click outside, and then a loud noise sounded.
It was the sound of the door being pushed down.
Lauren was startled. She stood up from the bed and then hurried out after being stunned for two seconds.
As soon as she entered the living room, she saw that the door had been broken and was on the ground.
Jameson stood at the door with a calm and serious face.
Lauren was speechless.
She glared at him with fury in her eyes, "Jameson! Who allowed you to pry the door of my house?"
This was the house she rented!
How should she explain if the landlord saw it?
She didn't care about money, but... it would have a bad influence if someone else saw it.
Looking at the door who had been completely removed, Lauren went berserk.
Jameson walked in expressionlessly, as if he didn't see the anger on her face.
His expression turned gloomier and gloomier as he glanced at her and then looked at her big belly.
"Since you are at home, why didn't you open the door?"
