Chapter 873 She Still Doesn't Believe
George quickly put away the surprise in his eyes and looked at the door of the ward, his eyes becoming meaningful.
It was reasonable to assume that even if her memories were not the same as before, her personality would not change.
So, if he couldn't predict 100% what she would do next, the chances of at least guessing were good.
He thought that the words she had overheard would affect her mood for a long time, at least not for a few hours, and that she would not be able to return.
But to his surprise, it had only been a short hour, possibly less, and she was back without any audible fluctuation in her tone, so he had to be surprised.
"Come in!" Without much thought, George opened his mouth and called out to the woman outside the door.
Jessie outside the door heard his response, dropped his hand from the door, took a deep breath, gripped the door handle and opened the door to enter, "Mr. Joe." George said, "You are back."
Jessie nodded, dropping her eyes without looking at him, only walking towards the table, "The thermos bucket was put home, so I rushed back, there was no boiling water, I'll go boil some."
When she finished, she took the kettle and was about to go to the kitchen.
George looked at her back, "Wait a minute."
Jessie stopped in her tracks, "What are your orders?"
"Turn your head around." George couldn't help but frown at the way she spoke without turning her head back.
Jessie raised her eyelids, slightly biting her lips, not moving, lowering her head and still responding in this way, "You can just order me directly."
Seeing her unwillingness to turn her head around, George's brow furrowed even tighter and his voice lowered a lot, "Jessie, I said, turn your head around." He repeated it again, "Don't make me angry, okay?"
He had already let his angry words out, so naturally Jessie could not still confront him, and after frowning his face, she turned around somewhat reluctantly. But George was clearly not satisfied with that and looked at her and added, "Lift your head and look at me."
Jessie bit her lip, annoyed inside.
She didn't understand why she had to turn around if he had orders to speak.
It wasn't enough to turn around and look up at her.
This was clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.
Jessie was furious in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on the surface. After sighing, she slowly raised her head and looked at George.
Of course, her eyelids were still drooping.
When George saw that, he was a bit exasperated, but in the end, he didn't say anything else and just let her be.
He knew that asking her to turn around and put her head up had compromised her so much that she wouldn't be able to stand it if she had to compromise every time. George's eyes darkened and he didn't continue to think about it, saying, "You didn't just come from your house now, did you? You were outside the door before, weren't you?" Jessie's eyes flickered for a moment and she didn't say anything.
Sure enough, he heard the sound of her breaking the glass and guessed it was her.
Seeing that Jessie didn't say anything, George added: "What I said to someone on the phone in the ward earlier, you heard a lot of it too, didn't you?"
Jessie lifted these eyelids and looked up at him, meeting his deep gaze exactly.
At that moment, Jessie only felt her heart flutter, some inexplicable panic, and then hurriedly lowered her head again.
George looked at her like a shrinking turtle, his heart was angry and helpless, pursed his thin lips and said, "Why don't you answer?"
Jessie buried her head lower and lower, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito; "There's nothing to answer, it's just a trick remark, it can't be taken seriously." George frowned.
He knew that she wouldn't believe his words, but he didn't think that, in her eyes, it was trick remark.
"Isn't it?" The corners of Jessie's mouth pulled out a sneer, "Mr. Joe, it can't be that what you say is true, can it?"
George looked at her, "What if what I say, is true?"
Jessie's body was stunned for a moment.
Really?
He actually said it was true?
Could it be that he had really fallen in love with her?
Jessie looked up and glanced at George, whose expression was serious.
Jessie dropped her eyelids again, the mockery at the corners of her mouth growing thicker, "Mr. Joe, this kind of joke is not funny at all." Yes, the joke.
She still wouldn't believe that what he said was true.
He had treated her so badly before, loathed her to the point of hating her and the Robinson family to death.
So how could someone who was so nasty to her love her?
He hadn't fallen in love with her in the past ten years, and he had fallen in love in less than a month when she lost her memory, was that possible?
It was ridiculous!
He must, again, be thinking of other ways to bully her, right?
After all, if he really loved her, he would have fallen in love long ago, would he have waited until now?
Now she didn't even want his love.
Looking at Jessie's appearance, George guessed that she still didn't believe his words, and his eyes were dark and uncertain.
It was only natural that she didn't believe it now, but later, he would make her believe it slowly.
"Do you want to know why I said something like that to the person on the phone?" George looked at Jessie and asked again.
Jessie shook her head, "I don't want to, but George, I beg you, no matter what exactly you are saying this for, I hope you don't involve my parents in this, they are old and won't live for many years. I know you hate them, but can you spare them and let them live their last years in peace? How about I take care of everything?"
She patted herself on the heart and begged.
George now understood what she meant, "Do you think that I said that to the phone like that to plot against your family?" Jessie bit her lip, "Isn't it? Why else are you suddenly saying this? Other than that reason, I can't think of anything else." George's breath caught in his throat, "Jessie you .....
Jessie shrank, "Sorry, Mr. Joe, I don't know if my guess is right, but I sincerely hope that you let my parents off the hook."
She was still insisting on pleading for her parents.
George rubbed his brow and got a bit of a headache, "Alright, you stop talking."
He needed to calm down.
He thought she wouldn't believe him, but how could he have imagined that she would actually think that, by saying those words, he was plotting with the person on the other end of the phone about what to do with the Robinson family.
It seemed that it really was her past self that brought her and her heart so much that no matter what she heard at all, she would associate it with whether it was against the Robinson family or not. Jessie saw that George's face was not good, so she obediently shut her mouth and did not speak.
George rubbed his brow, it took him a while to completely calm down, looking at Jessie's eyes, serious and earnest, "Jessie, listen carefully, there is no intention against the Robinson family, I just said what is in my heart, I really ......"
"Thank you, Mr. Joe." Jessie hurriedly interrupted his next words and bowed towards him to thank him.
She knew what he was going to say later and was interrupting on purpose.
Because she didn't believe it.
But she was willing to take his word for the first half, that it was not to plot against her family.
So that was enough.
As for the latter, listen to it as a joke and be done with it.
Naturally, George could see that Jessie was deliberately interrupting him, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line for a moment as he looked at her, not knowing what he was thinking.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐lightnoveldaily.comText © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
