Chapter 85 I Like You Very Much
As they heard the ruckus outside, Hansel and Gretel shared a look with each other. “I’ll go out to check!” Hansel said, his face solemn.
Gretel nodded at this.
Just then, Hansel walked outside.
“If you do not wish to die, then move out of the way!” Outside the door, Lingo said to the two bodyguards standing guard outside the door. The natural air and stance that she had around her almost felt like she was ready to pick a fight.
“Lingo?” Hansel looked at her. He showed up just in time to stop this “war” from happening.
“Why have you come?” When he saw Lingo, Hansel was rather surprised. He thought that she was still mad, so she would not show up ever again. Never did he expect her to come to the hospital.
Surprisingly, Lingo hummed. Her beauty and grace had an air of arrogance. “Why, am I not welcome?”
“No way!” Hansel immediately denied as he walked over, a flattering grin on his face. “I was just surprised that you would come!”
As she watched Hansel’s grin, Lingo had a bad feeling in her heart. However, she could not help but worry about him, that was why she came. She glanced over the men by the door. “These two won’t let me in!”
Okay! He understood why!
Hansel turned to face the two men who were standing by the door. “She’s my friend!”
The two looked at each other before they finally nodded. They were finally assured.
“Let’s go in!” Hansel said.
“Hold up!” Lingo opened up.
Hansel looked at her. “What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”
“Let’s take this to the side.” Lingo hinted to him.
Hansel gave it some thought and nodded. Then two walked aside.
Just as they walked to the side, Lingo immediately tugged on his ear.
“Ah, ow ow ow...” Hansel gritted his teeth in pain, as he squealed in pain.
“You little bastard, how dare you to cheat on my feelings. Do you want to die?” Lingo spat. Goodness knew how she survived the past two messy days. Her dream lover that she had always been hoping for was actually a few-year-old toddler. How was she going to deal with this!
This would definitely leave a mark on her lifetime.
In the future, she would definitely get teased by Orpheus and the rest. Whenever she thought of that, all she wanted was to wring this little thing to death.
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault...” Hansel quickly apologized. This was the best way to save his ears.
“So what if it was your fault?”
“Then what were you expecting?” Hansel asked with a tearful face.
“I… ” Lingo thought for a moment; she did not know either.
What could she do?
“Actually, I’m regretting this more than you are!” Hansel said.
“What is there for you to regret?”
“If I was a few years older, even if I was still two years younger than you, I would still pursue you for sure. But… I have no choice!” Hansel said, annoyed...
As he observed Lingo’s face, no man could ever resist her. So how could he not feel sorry for her? But their age gap was not just a matter of only a couple of years. He was going mad with this frustration.
“Is that true?”
“It’s true. I swear!” Hansel immediately raised a hand to the sky in an oath.
Lingo pinched his ears but did not let go, as if there was something in her mind.
When he saw that she was silent, Hansel hurriedly played coy. “Hey, Ms. Lingo. I really am sorry… I truly like you very, very much too...”
With that sweet voice his calling her Ms. Lingo, all of Lingo’s fury was away in an instant.
Even though she had blamed Hansel for not telling her the truth, but she was still very worried about him. Otherwise, she would not have rushed over the moment Piers Brion said that he could be in danger anytime.
Although he had lied to her, in her heart, she still did not wish for anything bad to befall Hansel.
Lingo narrowed her seductive cat-like eyes. “Are you for real?”
Hansel immediately nodded, that way he did not need to prove his sincerity.
Lingo squinted at him as she heard him answer, then he cocked an eyebrow. “Ok. That’s all in order then. You shall marry me!”
Hansel’s mouth fell apart immediately; he was struck dumb.
What? He did not mishear that, right?
Yet Lingo knitted her brows together as she stared at him unhappily. “Why? Are you disgusted by my age?”
Hansel quickly shook his head and said with a smile. “No way, you are beautiful and graceful. Although you are older than I am, you are still blooming and flourishing in your prime. How could I ever be disgusted by you?” Hansel said all that while smiling. His dazzling smile was charming and gentlemanly.
“That’s good. Don’t worry. I will wait till you are older!”
“But… Are you sure you want to marry me?” Hansel asked dubiously as he stared at her.
“You said you are not disgusted with me?” Lingo glared back at him. She looked like she was about to squish him to bits.
“No no no!” Hansel immediately denied it. “I’m not disgusted or turned off. I only want to confirm it!”
“You only have one choice!”
“Then I must have gotten the best end of the deal!” Hansel exclaimed, proud and delighted...
With these words, Lingo was soon happy and pleased.
“Either way, I don’t care. In the future, only I can dump you and you are not allowed to dump me. If I can’t find anyone else, then you will have to marry me!” Lingo said.
“This… Isn’t this too unfair?”
“Why? Do you have a problem with it?” Lingo questioned.
“It’s not that. I just thought that this unfair idea is pretty good too.” Hansel said sheepishly.
Then only did Lingo smile in satisfaction.
The two of them shared some lighthearted chatter to clear out the awkward atmosphere. Soon the relationship between the two of them became rather magical.
But Lingo did not feel that talking about marriage with a few-year-old kid was weird in any way. Instead, she felt that Hansel’s wisdom and maturity were no less than an adult’s.
Perhaps, this was what geniuses were like!
However, Lingo had decided that she would protect Hansel well in the future.
After all, he would be in charge of her happiness for the rest of her life.
“Right, why did you come?” Hansel asked her. He thought that Lingo was furious and that she was really going to force him to resign from Hell’s Angels Alliance.
“Piers Brion and Hell’s Angels Alliance contacted me, saying that you might be in danger any moment now. That’s why I came here!” Lingo said.
“Does Orpheus and the rest know?” Hansel asked.
Lingo shook her head...
Apparently, they did not know.
She had rushed over here right after she received the news.
For some reason, Hansel actually started to feel rather touched when he received this answer. When she knew of this matter, not only did Lingo not blame him but when she heard that he was in danger she rushed over to protect him. He felt indescribable gratitude spread out from the bottom of his heart.
Hansel thought that sometimes he was too lucky. He was a lucky bastard son because all the good things would happen to him.
The two of them chattered as they made their way to the ward.
“Right, I saw you with Mark Pattinson here yesterday. What was he doing here?” Lingo asked with a frown. Actually, she still had some questions in her mind, but she could not think of any of them yet.
If she were to ask in this manner, that meant that Lingo still did not know that Mark Pattinson was his daddy.
It seemed like Piers Brion had not been a big mouth and spread the news.
“It’s a long story!” Hansel also had no idea where to start, but he had no plans to keep it from them. They would know the truth in the end anyway.
It was just that he could not think of a nice way to say it on such short notice.
Lingo nodded without any questions, then they walked to the ward together.
It just felt like something was not quite right...
...
Meanwhile, on the other end, Mark Pattinson had just entered the company, and he was greeted with the sight of Eileen Dawson in the office.
His face instantly fell when he saw her,
“Why are you here?” Mark Pattinson walked in. For someone who pulled an all-nighter, aside from his slightly bloodshot eyes, there were no other signs of fatigue on him.
Eileen Dawson turned her head when she heard. Once she saw Mark Pattinson, her aged face was painted with displeasure. “You are finally back!”
“I see that you have waited for me for quite some time.” Mark Pattinson said as he walked in. He tugged at his shirt on the way, showing off his seductive neckline, making him look even more alluring. “Say it. What matters do you have with me?”
Just then, Eileen Dawson threw a stack of photos straight on the table in front of him.
The person in the photos was no one else but Gretel.
His brows furrowed lightly.
If it was before last night, before he knew that Gretel was his daughter, perhaps he could still keep calm. But now, there was no way he could be that calm.
Eileen Dawson must have her own suspicions if she was doing this.
And he, would definitely not let any harm come to Gretel and Hansel.
As he looked at the photographs, he frowned at first, then he lifted his eyes to look at her. “What do you mean by this?”
“I should be asking you this instead. Who is she!?” Eileen Dawson questioned.
Mark Pattinson laughed coolly. “You came here just to ask me this?”
“Mark Pattinson, do not forget what you promised me!” Eileen Dawson asked furiously.
Mark Pattinson was getting harder to control and predict now, but she had no other ideas on how to deal with him. She only had that threat on her, but as his power and influence were to continue to grow, then at some point, her threats would mean nothing.
That was what she had been worried about this whole time.
Just as she was furious, someone knocked on the door. A secretary pushed open the door and walked in to deliver a cup of coffee. After it was put down, the secretary left.
Just then, Mark Pattinson made himself look relaxed and carefree. “Why, don’t you do your homework when you find someone?” As he said this, he picked up the coffee and sipped at it leisurely. Although he was just drinking a coffee, each of his actions exuded grace and elegance.
If God was fair, then Mark Pattinson’s childhood might have been unfortunate, but God gave him an extremely beautiful body. Beautiful enough to make women jealous.
Eileen Dawson looked at him, so mad that she had nothing to say. Because she really could not find anything.
At the same time, Mark Pattinson was betting on the same.
He did not know if she had found out, but he was playing it cool to see if she had anything to say.
“That is what I am asking you!” Eileen Dawson spelled out clearly.
As he watched her furious face, Mark Pattinson acted calmly. It looked as if his guesses were correct.
She had not found out about anything.
Actually, he had always known that for the past few years she would trace down every woman who had been with him and check if they were pregnant.
She was so cautious and terrified that he would have a child. But that had not prevented Hansel and Gretel’s birth.
At this thought, Mark Pattinson felt an inexplicable sense of delight.
If she found out, she would surely get a heart attack from rage!
It was just that he could not let her find out now, because Eileen Dawson was a crazy woman. He did not know what Eileen Dawson would do when she learns of this. So for Hansel and Gretel’s safety, he decided to keep this under covers for now.
Mark Pattinson smiled and put down the coffee. “If she really was my child, do you think I would let her out in public for you to check her out?” He questioned.
Eileen Dawson was stunned. Her gaze on Mark Pattinson lost ferocity.
“I’m not as dumb as to personally send my own daughter to you, just for you to harm her.” Mark Pattinson said as his expression became ferocious. He would never forget his childhood memories for the rest of his life.
It was a nightmare for her.
