Chapter 34 I Don''t me Her


    Chaim rubbed his temples tiresomely. "Grandpa Ro, what are you talking about? When have I done


    anything to disobey or disrespect you?"


    Grandpa Ro’s anger didn’t falter. "If you really respect me, you shouldn''t meet with Evelyn anymore.


    Tell me, do you still have feelings for her?"


    "No." Chaim sipped his lukewarm coffee.


    He still had feelings for Evelyn. However, it was clear they couldn''t get back together, not to the way


    they had been before.


    He still cared about her, but only because he couldn''t watch her die and do nothing.


    "Since you have no feelings for her, why do you still keep meeting her? I know she’s sick, and that you


    took care of Evelyn in the hospital and didn''te home for a few nights, correct?" Grandpa Ro


    rested his hands on his walking stick.


    Chaim avoided looking at him. "Yes."


    "How dare you!" Grandpa Ro stood up shakily and angrily. "Chaim, do you remember you’re


    married?"


    "I do remember." Chaim said.


    "Then why are you meeting with other women instead of going home to your wife?"


    "Grandpa Ro, Evelyn is sick. I was only there to take care of her. Nothing happened between us."


    Chaim felt helpless and didn''t know what to say. It didn’t matter what happened between them in the


    past, there was nothing between them now, not that there could be.


    "Was it really nothing for you?" Grandpa Ro mmed his hand on the table in front of Chaim.


    "Chaim, I may be old but I’m not foolish. You’re younger than me and you are a fool. She has a lot of


    money. If she really needed a care taker, she could hire one. So, exin to me why she needs a


    married man to sit by her bed."


    "This is different. Evelyn needs me," Chaim said calmly.


    "Bullshit! She needs you? You’re not a doctor. Do you have some magical healing powers or cure?"


    Grandpa Ro’s voice echoed throughout the office, his contempt for Evelyn raging. "It is very obvious


    she wants something else."


    "Grandpa Ro!" Chaim looked at Grandpa Ro angrily. "You shouldn''t think of her as a bad


    person."


    "I needn’t think of her as a bad person." Grandpa Ro’s face darkened. "She is a bad person. You


    still remember what she did years ago, correct?"


    Chaim wanted to say something, his emotions confusing him. "What she did years ago… I don''t me


    her anymore."


    "After what she did, you forgive her! You are such a foolish person!" Chaim’s words angered Grandpa


    Ro so much his angerpletely blinded him. "Have you forgotten you almost died because of


    her?"


    "That was an ident." Chaim stood up and walked around Grandpa, patting his back gently in hopes


    of calming him down.


    "An ident. Bah!" Grandpa Ro was furious heughed, brushing Chaim’s hand away. "So you


    indeed still love her. Fine then, I won’t mention that terrible thing. However, I demand to know if you’re


    going to get back together with Evelyn."


    "No." Chaim busied himself pouring ss of tea to Grandpa Ro.


    "Really?" Grandpa Ro squinted at his grandson skeptically.


    Chaim put the ss of tea in front of Grandpa Ro, "It is true. I don’t want to get back with her."


    Grandpa Ro didn''t believe him and stared at Chaim.


    After a while, Grandpa Ro stopped ring at Chaim. "Fine, I will believe you for now. But it’s in your


    best interest to remember that you are married. I forbid you to cheat on your wife. As for Evelyn, you


    should meet her less now. I’m sure doing so embarrasses Alexia."


    "I know. After Evelyn''s surgery, I will stop seeing her." Chaim said calmly.


    Grandpa Ro nodded with satisfaction, "That is great. You should focus on living with Alexia. I know


    you don''t love her, but she is a perfect wife for you because she tolerates you! And you two better have


    a baby quickly."


    "We are getting prepared for a baby now."


    Grandpa Ro stopped drink the tea, his eyes brightening. "Really?"


    "Yes."


    "Great! I can''t wait to wee my great-grandchild now," Grandpa Roughed joyfully.


    Chaim looked at his watch, "It is almost noon now, Grandpa Ro. Why don''t you head home?"


    "Ok, I will leave you alone here. Let''s go, Laofu."


    Grandpa Ro reached out his hand to the housekeeper who helped him up.


    “Please, take care, Mr. Ro."


    After Grandpa Ro left, Chaim rxed for a moment before rage filled him.


    "Alexia!" Chaim snatched his phone off his desk and called Alexia.


    Alexia had just got out of the cab and fumbled in her bag for her phone, stepping around the corner of


    the Swift Group’s building.


    "Yes, what''s the matter, Mr. Lancaster?"


    "Did you tell Grandpa Ro about Evelyn?"


    "No, of course not." Alexia replied.


    Chaim sneered. "Then how did Grandpa Ro know if you didn''t tell him?"


    "Aunt Song told him," Alexia exined. "Last night, Aunt Song asked where you were, and I told her


    that you needed to take care of Evelyn in the hospital. I’m assuming Aunt Song told Grandpa Ro


    then."


    "Why did you say that?" Chaim shouted. "You telling Aunt Song meant she told Grandpa Ro. It’s the


    same as you telling him yourself!"


    Alexia stopped talking.


    After a moment, she bit her lip and apologized, "I’m sorry. I truly didn''t know Aunt Song would tell


    Grandpa Ro ."


    "Fine!" Chaim tried to calm down and took a deep breath. "Now, tell me, what else did you tell Aunt


    Song? Did you mention the bone marrow donation?"


    "No." Alexia shook her head thought Chaim couldn’t see her.


    She wasn’t stupid. She knew she shouldn''t tell anyone about that


    Hearing Alexia''s words, Chaim calmed down more.


    "Good, and where are you now?"


    Alexia looked up and saw the high-rise building next to her, "I’m standing outside the Swift Group."


    "OK, see you soon," Chaim said, hanging up.


    "That was a short conversation. Why can''t you talk a bit longer? Maybe ask me how I’m doing?" Alexia


    murmured, feeling deted she walked inside thepany.


    "Hi, I work for the Lancaster Group and the president sent me to discuss the cooperation. May I ask if


    your president is avable to meet with me?" Alexia asked politely, when the secretary greeted her.


    "Do you have an appointment?"


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    "Yes."


    "Just a minute please, I need to verify it." The receptionist looked down again.


    Two minutester, the receptionist stood up, smiling at Alexia. "Our president is currently in a meeting


    right now. If you will follow me I will take you to room you can rest in. Our president will meet with you


    as soon as he can."


    "Of course." Alexia agreed and followed the receptionist.


    "Please have a seat."


    Alexia thanked her and sat down, smoothing out her dress as she did. The receptionist brought Alexia


    a ss of water and some dessert before leaving Alexia alone in the room.


    It was the first time Alexia had ever visited such a hugepany as a secretary. The longer she sat,


    the more nervous she felt, worrying about meeting a president of anotherpany, as high-ranking as


    Chaim.


    "I hope the president of the Swift Group isn’t a stern man," Alexia said to herself, pulling out her phone


    to y a game to pass the time.


    After some time, Alexia finished several games when she heard footsteps approaching. She put her


    phone away and stood to wee the president.


    The door opened and a man strode in. Alexia was about to greet him when the familiarness of his eyes


    and face caught her off guard.


    "It’s you!"
