Perfect Stranger

Chapter 265 Hesitate

Bran was more mature than other kids. What he was thinking was always amusing and annoying for adults.

As soon as his words came out, both Louisa and Susie could not help laughing out loud, looking at him helplessly.

He was only a six-year-old boy now, but he was already thinking about such a long-term thing. They really felt helpless. Sometimes they really wanted to know what was on Bran's mind.

"Okay, I promise you that I will never kiss you again, okay?" Again, Susie fondly stroked Bran's head and promised with a smile.

Bran pushed Susie's hand away and curled his lips. He didn't know what they were thinking. They either kissed him or touched his head. Fortunately, Susie agreed to his request, which satisfied him a lot.

"That's better!" After making a fuss, Bran said in satisfaction. At this moment, his action and expression did not look like a child at all.

The two adults on the bed smiled again helplessly. Susie looked down at Bran and said softly, "Bran, can you watch TV alone for a while? I have something to tell your mother."

Thinking of what she was going to say to Louisa in the next, Susie tried to distract Bran. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Bran nodded gently. He was a sensible boy. He knew what they were going to say, so he watched TV obediently.

Looking at the earnest expression on Susie's face, Louisa became serious. Louisa seemed to have guessed what Susie was going to say, but Louisa was still a little hesitant.

After Bran left, Susie sat by the side of Louisa and asked seriously: "does Bran know that you are going to divorce Bruce?"

Susie took a look at Bran, who was watching TV attentively, and said with concern. Although Louisa was Bran's mother, Bran had only told Susie a lot of things. Bran had always avoided talking about his father in front of Louisa before because he was afraid that she would feel sad, but he had been eager to know how much a father would love him, only Susie knew.

After hearing the inquiry of Susie, Louisa nodded in an almost invisible way, with a surge of remorse in her heart again. If it hadn't happened, Louisa might never know what was in Bran's mind, and never know how important his father was to him.

Louisa's answer didn't bring Susie much surprise. Looking at Louisa's reply, she sighed helplessly, "it seems that paper can't wrap fire. Now you should know how important Bruce is to Bran. Even for the sake of your child, do you still have the heart to divorce him? Do you have the heart to let Bran go back to the days of inferiority?"

Looking at the hesitation on Louisa's face, Susie couldn't help but to persuade her again. Although Bran was not her biological son, she loved him as much as Louisa did. Therefore, Susie didn't want Bran's little heart to be hurt again.

Susie's persuasion made Louisa silent. In fact, Louisa could not bear it. However, since there had been a problem in her relationship with Bruce, it would be hurt for everyone if she and Bruce could not be together, including for Bran. Louisa was afraid that if they continued to live together for a long time, she would not believe in love.

"Susie, I don't know what to do now either? There were problems in my marriage with Bruce. If we could be together reluctantly, wouldn't it hurt Bran? I really don't know what to do now. " She scratched her hair in agony. Louisa was caught in a dilemma.

Knowing what was bothering Louisa, Susie felt relieved. What Louisa cared about most was what Bruce's thought. Then as long as they talked with each other, Louisa wouldn't have such a headache.

"I went to visit Michelle this morning. I'm sure it's her plan. Bruce is not with her." Knowing that things could be turned around, Susie told Louisa she went to see Michelle this morning. Then she stared at Louisa quietly, waiting for her response after learning about this.

Louisa looked at Susie in surprise and was shocked by what she just heard, but Louisa didn't believe it in her heart. "How do you know that? It was all attributed to me. I saw them several times."

Thinking of that she had seen them date with her own eyes several times, Louisa didn't believe what Susie said and thought that Susie was just comforting her.

The lack of confidence in Louisa's attitude made Susie very disappointed. Louisa had no confidence in their relationship. She was depressed just because of such a small setback. If there were more tests in the future, Susie really didn't know if they could survive.

"Really? You don't believe me?" Seeing that Louisa didn't believe her, Susie was a little anxious. She really wanted to knock on Louisa's head to see what was in it.

Seeing that Susie didn't know how to respond, Louisa began to believe what Susie said. Louisa felt a lot better. But if she didn't have any evidence, she wouldn't believe Susie's words easily.

Not knowing what to say, Louisa lowered her head. Seeing that Louisa was lost in thought, Susie said again.

"I know you must be very confused now. How about this? You should not make any decision now. You can decide whether you want to divorce or not after you figure out what is going on and find out what the truth is." Susie knew that it was difficult for Louisa to make a decision. But she didn't push Louisa. She just put herself in Louisa's position and thought for Louisa.

Thinking that for a long time, Louisa couldn't think of any better idea, so she nodded in agreement. She hoped that it was really as what Susie said.

Because of their divorce, Louisa didn't go to work these days, but Bruce went to work on time every day, without any delay. Maybe it was because he was confident that Louisa would come back to him.

One day, Bruce worked in the company as usual. During this period, Michelle called him several times but he did not answer the phone, because he was not in the mood at all.

Originally, Bruce thought that it was okay not to answer the phone, but unexpectedly, Michelle went to the door and he soon heard the noise outside.

Bruce looked irritably at the door and lowered his head again to work, but soon the door was opened forcibly. An angry woman walked in. Michelle was in a very bad mood because she was stopped all the way.

Bruce looked up at Michelle who had already entered the door. His eyes flashed a trace of impatience, and then he looked at his assistant.

The assistant, who had been stunned by Bruce's cold eyes, could not help but come to himself. After a short while, he lowered his head and said in fear, "Mr. Bruce, I had tried my best to stop the lady from barging in, but she insisted on barging in. I failed."

Everyone knew what kind of person Bruce was. It was his dereliction of duty that led to this. If Bruce insisted on looking into this matter, he would probably lose his job.

Bruce fretfully glanced at his assistant, and there was an unpleasant look in his eyes. But this time it was not his intention to blame the assistant. "Get out. I'll take care of the things here!"

No one knew better than Bruce about Michelle's temper. She insisted on breaking in, and there was no one could stop her. Now the wisest way was to let her go.

The assistant was surprised that Bruce had shown him a big favor this time. When he realized what had happened, he felt so lucky and exited the office as quickly as he could.

After the assistant left, Michelle's face looked better. She looked at Bruce and smiled immediately.

"Michelle, what brings you here?" Bruce's voice was neither warm nor angry. It was hard to tell his emotion.

Although he had a certain antipathy against Michelle and didn't want to see her now, he knew better that if he showed all his emotions on his face, she would be more unwilling to let him go.

Hearing what Bruce said, Michelle walked towards him and said with a smile, "I called you but you didn't answer my phone, so I have to come here to see you in person."

When she entered the office a moment ago, she found that Louisa's desk was empty, so she thought the new that Ken told her was probably true and that Louisa and Bruce were going to divorce. Thinking of this, the smile on her face became brighter.

After taking a glance at his phone, Bruce knew that Michelle was blaming him. With a poker face, he said flatly, "I have a lot of work to do, so I didn't answer the phone in time. I have to work now, Michelle. You can go first if there is nothing important. I will call you back after I finish my work."

Bruce knew Michelle was an uninvited guest, so he just wanted to get her out of here as soon as possible.

Michelle frowned in dissatisfaction. She didn't want to leave like this. She had spent a lot of effort to see him. How could she leave so easily? She wanted to spend more time with him.

I came all the way here to see you. I'm so glad that you're willing to see me. But at least you should treat me to a meal. " Looking at Bruce who was still busy with his work, Michelle's eyes were full of expectations.

There was a touch of impatience in Bruce's eyes. But because she lowered her head, Michelle didn't notice that Bruce was impatient with her. She still looked at him with a smile.

"How about having dinner another day? I have a lot of documents to deal with today. Don't interrupt my work, Michelle." His tone showed that he was impatient. He had lost his patience with Michelle.

She looked at Bruce with disappointment, and then went to his desk, playing with the arrangement on the table, and considered how to ask him the thing she was most concerned about.

Seeing that Michelle finally calmed down and Bruce went back to work again, he did not know how long it was before he heard Michelle's voice again.

"Bruce, I heard that you are going to divorce with Louisa. Is that true?" Looking at Bruce seriously, Michelle asked expectantly.

The purpose of her today's visit was to confirm the accurate content of the news. She had waited for their divorce for a long time.

Bruce raised his head suddenly and stared at Michelle coldly. His eyes were full of anger.

"How did you get the news? It's impossible for me to divorce Louisa. Don't ask me such gossips any more." As for the divorce thing, Bruce had become very sensitive.
