Gloria Taylor remembered that she bought a contraceptive medicine.
She changed her clothes and squatted down in front of the drawer. When she found the medicine, she heard the door creaked open.
She was holding the medicine bottle when Kenny Clarke pushed the open and came in.
She reacted quickly and quietly hid the bottle behind her, “You’re home?”
She thought that Kenny Clarke was out, but it turned out that he was still at home.
“What are you looking for?” Kenny Clarke walked toward her slowly.
She hid the bottle behind her as she stood up, “My throat is little uncomfortable. I’m looking for some medicine for it.”
His eyes were sharp, but his tone was both indifferent and normal, “The medicine cabinet is not there.”
“Hm.” Gloria Taylor panicked.
But, Kenny Clarke walked past her to the side, “I’ll take the medicine for you.”
She was surprised and relieved at the same time.
Just then, Kenny Clarke walked in front of her, but he suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand to take the medicine she hid behind her back.
He was fast. He didn’t give any chance for her to react. Now, he robbed the bottle off her hand.
“You—” Gloria Taylor shouted for she was annoyed, but his gloomy face silenced her.
He held the medicine bottle tightly and asked, “What is this?”
He looked at her straight in the eye. His stare was so tense and it looked like it could explode at any moment.
She gulped as she looked around and whispered, “It’s a contraceptive pills.”
“Louder.” He said hoarsely.
“I said it’s contraceptive! Can’t you hear me?” she shouted.
He tightened his grip on the bottle until his veins were showing. The bottle was nearly crushed.
Gloria Taylor reached out, “Give it to me.” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Kenny Clarke sipped his lips and threw the bottle in his hand.
He was furious. His breathing got heavy and in a distressed voice he asked, “Gloria Taylor, you don’t want to bear my child, do you?”
“No. I don’t think I want to get pregnant now.” She bit her lips and stepped back.
“You don’t want to try your wedding dress, you don’t want to marry me, and you don’t want to bear my child. You just don’t want to be with me do you?” he asked coldly. His voice was so cold that it sent chills down her spine.
“It’s not like that.” she retorted, aloud.
“So, why are you taking these medicines?” Kenny Clarke looked at her grimly. His nerve twitched. It looked like that his was running out of patience.
“It’s not that I don’t want to bear your child. I think that now is not a good time.”
“You will bear it sooner or later. What’s the difference?”
“If I’m pregnant now, I may not be able to work for a year or two.”
“You’re only 22. You can still work after the child is born.”
“……” if she kept talking, she feared that she might lose her argument to Kenny Clarke.
She pulled her hairs back and said irritable, “Can’t you respect my decisions? Why do you have to decide everything? I also have my own opinion and plans. These are all—” negotiable.
“Your plan does not include having our own child.”
“I have just told you—”
“I understand.” He sneered and turned around to walk outside.
But, before he walked out, he didn’t forget to pick the medicine bottle he smashed on the ground.
Was he afraid that she might take the birth control pills?
She felt funny.
Kenny Clarke was so angry that he could explode, but he still took the medicine.
***
Kenny Clarke took the bottle away. So, she had go downstairs to eat and went out to buy the medicine after breakfast.
Gloria Taylor planned to go out after breakfast.
But, when she walked to the door, a guard stopped her, “Young Lady, where are you going?”
She didn’t think much about it. She just blurted out, “I’m going shopping. I don’t need you to follow me. I can go by myself.”
However, after she finished talking the guard didn’t step aside.
She frowned. Her face was heavy, “What are you doing?”
The guard replied with a straight face, “the young master has ordered if the young lady wanted to go out, she had to wait for him until he came back and she could go out together with him.”
“Kenny Clarke ordered that?” Gloria Taylor felt that she heard it wrong.
“Yes.”
Kenny Clarke was limiting her freedom. He even forbid her to go out.
She bit her lips and took her phone out to call Kenny Clarke, “What’s wrong with you, Kenny? Why won’t you let me out?”
His tone was calm compared to her cold and sharp voice, “I have something to do outside now. Wait for me. I’ll accompany you.”
“Who wants you to accompany me? I’m not unable to walk!”
“Be obedient, will you.”
“Oh, shut your crap!” recently, their relationships had not been harmonious. Kenny Clarke would act cold all day and Gloria Taylor was not in her best mood as well. She couldn’t help snorting some harsh words out.
Did he plan to restrict her freedom and treat her as a pet?
“I’ll be back soon.” he was so calm that she couldn’t trace any anger at all.
Gloria Taylor hung up the phone first.
The guards know that she just called Kenny Clarke. When they heard what Gloria Taylor was saying, they bowed their head and pretended not to hear anything.
She was the only one who dared talking to the young master like that.
The weather was already very cold, but when Kenny Clarke came in in a formal suit, his demeanor was colder.
When Aunt Hu saw him coming back, she quickly greeted him, “Young Master.”
He waved at her and motioned her to leave.
Aunt Hu knew that their relationship was not good recently. She was worried when she was leaving. She looked back at them every so often.
Until Aunt Hu’s shadow disappeared, Kenny Clarke sat down beside Gloria Taylor.
He reached out his hand to hold her, “Where do you want to go? I’ll accompany you.”
Gloria Taylor took her hand back and said sarcastically, “When are you going to let me go out?”
He was embarrassed, but soon he eased down and said, “It’s better for you not to go out for this time being.”
“Are you afraid that I will go out to buy contraceptives?” Gloria Taylor was not stupid. He took her medicine this morning and when she was about to go out, the guard stopped her.
She had to admit that Kenny Clarke was really decisive and cruel sometimes.
His eyes flickered, “Since you know it, you should be obedient.”
“What if I don’t?” she squinted at him provocatively.
“Then, I have to use my own method to make you obedient.” He said casually, nothing strange in his tone.
But, when she heard it, she felt like losing her temper.
He must be determined to let her get pregnant!
