But less than two minutes later, the harsh ringtone made her heart, which had just relaxed, rose again.
Sure enough, Viola’s anxious voice came from the other side, with bursts of crying.
“Harold, it’s dark at home and I always feel like there’s someone outside. I’m so scared. Can you come and accompany me?”
Feeling the man wavering, Beatrice suddenly exerted force, hugged him tightly and cried so hard that she almost screamed.
“Brother, can you please not leave?”
But Harold hesitated for a moment, pried her fingers apart and responded to her with only indifference.
“After so many years, you should grow up and learn to face it. There are nannies at home. If you are afraid, stay in the living room. They will accompany you.”
Beatrice wanted to say something else, but Harold’s face suddenly turned cold and didn’t give her any chance.
“I have something else to do. Don’t push it.”
The hand that was about to touch his sleeve was suspended in midair.
Looking at his hurriedly leaving figure, Beatrice raised the corner of her mouth in self-mockery.
“Wake up, what are you still expecting?”
Beatrice didn’t sleep all night and she received Harold’s gifts early the next morning, limited edition bags and coats from major brands.
She actually understood what he meant.
Harold was always like this, whenever he felt that Beatrice was unhappy, he would give her one or two gifts to comfort her.
Beatrice’s entire cloakroom was full of such expensive bags.
Beatrice opened the gift card, which read: [A belated birthday gift. Be sensible and don’t wear other boys’ coats casually.]
If it were in the past, she would definitely be delighted by his care and she would also love to carry the bag on her back and take a video to send it to him, thanking him for giving her a surprise.
“The best Harold in the world!”
But now, Beatrice just took it silently, without even unpacking it and threw it into the corner of the room.
She would return these things to him intact in the future.
For a whole morning, Beatrice was busy with work, surprisingly devoted and didn’t suddenly think of him, let alone look at him straight in the eye.
At lunch, Harold suddenly came out and held her in the office.
“Let’s eat together.”
To be honest, looking at Viola’s unfriendly eyes, Beatrice also realized that this was a big opportunity and hesitated a little, but finally refused.
“Mr. Dolton, it’s not convenient.”
