Chapter 41: STOP WITH YOUR FAKE CONCERN
Chapter 41: STOP WITH YOUR FAKE CONCERN
Dove looked at him with a frown, but her mind was still lost.
"Where are you going?"
She continued frowning before she murmured, "Home." And she started walking forward.
Noah furrowed his eyebrows. He could tell that something was bothering her. Beacuse if it wouldn’t be, she would just tell him to go ahead and mind his own business. After all, Dove doesn’t even like them to mendle in what she does.
Noah drove the car slowly to match her slow pace and stopped again by her side, "And where is your car?" He asked.
Thsi time Dove did not answer anything, and after staring at her for a little while, Noah remembered that most of the cars in the mansion have gone for servicing. But why did she not take a cab?
And it is a particularly a very sunny day today. Why is she walking home? "Dove, get in the car?" Dove looked back at him, with the same blank expression on her face, and said, "Go home. No need to mind me." And looking at her, his frown deepened. He was now more sure that she was definitely very much worked out about something. She did not have the usual irritation when he ordered her to do something.
His tone lowered down a little and he said, "Dove. Stop being stubborn. Get in the car. It very hot today. And you are already sweating. You will fall ill. It is not good for your heath."
On being constantly said those things and being bothered by him, when Dove already had her mind in a frenzy, she turned to him and opened her mouth to say something but then on realising something, she quietened. ’Her health?’ That thought hitting her mind, she subconsciously lowered her head to her stomach to her lower stomach. And the next second, she did not say anything and opened the door before getting in.
Her sudden compliance surprised Noah and he stared at Dove for a moment. He did not expect her to comply to his words so easily, and had expected her usual coldness a little more. It id not that, she made things difficult for them, or would deliberately pick fights with them. She just does not care about anything regarding them. And did not want to have anything to do with them as much as she could. And Noah, he knew why.
Just then, his gaze fell on the roll of paper in her hand. It looked like a report. He caught on the hospital logo. And his eyes glinted. ’She had gone to the hospital? But why?’ he thought.
But he did not question her, seeing her quietly sit in the car, staring out of the window. And he started the car. When they reached home, Dove was about to get out of the car, when she heard Noah say, "Dove, are you alright?" She turned towards him, and raised an eyebrow. "Yes." Simply answering, she was about to resume, when he said again, "If there is something bothering you, you can tell me." At this, Dove hands that was about to push the door of the car, froze for a moment. She turned back to him, and asked, "And why should I do that Mr Noah Henly?"
Noah held her eyes for a second before answering something, already knowing what her reaction to it would be, "Because we are family."
"Family?" Dove scoffed.
"At least, for the sake that we live in the same house." Noah said. A subtle hiss in his voice, when he heard her taunt in her voice.
Dove laughed sarcastically and said, "Listen Noah. Keep your fake concern and acting out in front of me. I have long gotten over that alright. Just stay in your lane, and no need to show that pathetically nauseating fake concern for me anymore." She took a pause for a second before saying, "And you? You and I might be living in the same house. But we are not family. I have learnt that."
And she did not wait for him to say anything else, and she just opened the door and stepped out. Noah kept staring at her back. Though, she kept her voices very controlled, Noah saw the slight wetness in her eyes. And he let out a shaky breath. It has been a couple of years that they had shared each other more than two lines.
Dove went in, to find that her grandfather had gone to meet one of his friends. The Butler asked if she would want to have dinner, which she asked to be sent to her room.
The day passed by, and it was evening, when Dove was quietly sitting in her balcony, aimlessly staring at the world around. When she heard a knock on her door.
Dove turned around to hear a maid say from the other side of the door, "Young Miss, Miss Lisa has come to meet you." Dove blinked her eye, before clearing her throat and answered, "Send her in."
After a while, the door was pushed open with Lisa with her ever so cheerful personality entering the room, "Hey~ I am her!"
Dove had already brought her to her home a couple of times, so she was a little familiar. She exclaimed before she rushed to Dove and before she knew it, she stuffed her mouth with a big piece of chocolate. "Here! Have some sweets. It is because of the special occasion of me getting selected in the audition!
Hearing that, Dove’s eyes widened slightly and for the first time in the entire day did she smile a little and she said, "Really? I am happy for you."
"Isn’t it?" Lisa giggled. But when she noticed her friend’s face, the smile on her face flattered. Her gaze also fell on the untouched food on the table and she frowned, "Dove? Is everything okay? Why do I have a bad feeling?"
Dove, she raised her head to look at Lisa and smiled smally. And the next second, Lisa went stiff and a frown settled on her face, when Dove all of a sudden hugged her. "Dove? What happened?" Lisa asked anxiously.
Dove kept silence for a minute more, before she said in a soft voice, "Lisa, I- I am pregnant."
