Chapter 6 a Slight Chill

Henry didn't answer, but looked away thoughtfully. No one knew what he was thinking about, but it seemed that he was not feeling well.

At the same time, Claire was in a state of ignorance. She didn't know how many words she had said to the voicemail page with the phone in her hand. Tears kept streaming down her face. Claire kept talking in her sleep, like a fragile child.

She was not a happy child from the beginning. She had lived a hard life when she was a child. Her father was addicted to gambling, and her family often had a meal without the next one. It could be said that it was really a fluke for Claire and her mother to live till now.

"Henry... As you said, as long as I give birth to the baby, you will give me everything and satisfy me. I want you back now. Will you come back? "

Claire murmured in her sleep. However, what she didn't know was that all her words were turned into voice messages, which were clearly conveyed to Henry's mobile phone. Later, Claire's mobile phone was powered off automatically because it was out of power.

Four hours later, Henry got off the plane. As soon as he entered the waiting hall, he directly turned on his mobile phone. When he was about to call back home, he found that there were more than ten missed calls and several voice messages on his mobile phone.

He never saved any strange number, but he just gave his own number to Claire this morning. Was it a coincidence? It couldn't be a coincidence, so Henry picked up the voice.

As expected, as soon as he pressed the key, he heard the soft and feminine voice of Claire.

Henry, you know what? I feel hot all over my body now.

Henry, didn't you say that you would give me whatever I want? Didn't you say that you would satisfy me with anything? But now I'm sick. I want to see my mother and see you, but you haven't fulfilled your promise.

Henry, you are a liar. You promised to protect our child's health, but you didn't do it now. I can't take medicine when I have a fever, and I can't take medicine when I catch a cold. Do you still remember the servants you arranged for me?

All he could hear was the low voice of Claire. Her voice was a little hoarse, as if she was having a fever. Upon hearing this, Henry's heart skipped a beat. He had been wondering why he felt something was wrong. It turned out that this woman was sick.

However, she was now the Mrs. Claire of the Gu Family, and she was pregnant for a month. How could there be no one to take care of her? Although Henry was confused, he still called James after he heard these words. In the Gu Family, the most serious and rigorous person should be James.

He couldn't believe anyone else!

Although there was no time difference, it was already late at night. Especially James, his schedule was always on time. Now he was woken up by a sudden call from Henry. At first, James felt a little uncomfortable, but when he saw the caller ID, he didn't dare to say anything.

If there was nothing else, Henry wouldn't call him casually. With a slight cough, James adjusted his state and answered the phone unhurriedly, "what's wrong, Henry? Why do you call me at this time? Is there any problem with your work?"

Henry touched his nose and pretended to be calm. "It's okay, grandpa. I want to ask you something. Where is Claire now? I called her but she didn't get through."

Henry cared a lot in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface. A smart man like James, how could he not know what his grandson was thinking about? It was not a coincidence that he appeared in the ancestral hall this morning. He also secretly participated in this matter, but others could not see him.

James pretended to be surprised, and then pretended to be confused, "Claire? After being taken to the ancestral temple by Shelly in the morning, I didn't see her again. She seemed to be a little tired, and I didn't notice her later. What's wrong? "

Domestic discipline?

Upon hearing this, Henry pulled a long face. He was very clear about the family rules of the Gu Family. Claire was just a weak woman. Some strong men might not be able to bear it in normal times, let alone a woman who was pregnant for a month!

The expression on his face was a little complicated. After a moment of silence, Henry finally said, "Grandpa, please go and check for me. Claire is pregnant for a month. Anyway, it is our child. Of course, remember to deal with the wound. Call the maid over. After all, she is my woman, and no one else can see her body."

Now he still had a document to talk with the other party face to face, so he couldn't go back immediately. What he could do now was to try his best to arrange a better environment for Claire.

James, who had been watching the drama with a trace of banter at the beginning, immediately agreed as if he had changed into another person when he heard these words, "what? Do you mean Claire is pregnant? I know. I'll send some maids to go with me. Don't worry. "

If he had known this earlier, how could he still watch the play in such a lazy attitude!

After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Henry went straight to the destination. The meeting which was supposed to be held tomorrow was forced to be held in an hour. If it weren't for the fear of Henry, the other people wouldn't have been so punctual.

David's face was full of satisfaction when he saw Henry's performance. His CEO was finally on the right track as a normal person. In the past, there was only work in Henry's life. In addition to his sister, now he finally had a woman he really cared about!

With a frown, Henry looked down at his watch and then said, "David, remember to book a flight back for me later. It's about three o'clock in the morning or four o'clock in the evening. Don't use a private plane. Just hurry up."

David nodded, and then replied quickly, "Okay, I see, president."

Obviously, Henry wanted to go back to see Claire as soon as possible. It was obvious on his face, but he could not expose it. David could only pretend that he knew nothing and then calmly acted according to his orders.

About half an hour later, Henry finally met the man he had agreed to meet in a relatively simple coffee shop. The documents they two were going to negotiate were not very secret, but the data involved was somewhat large, so they needed to solve it face to face.

With a deadpan look on his face, Henry pointed at the document on the desk and said, "Mr. Du, this matter is actually easy to solve. As long as you give me a number, it will be easy to solve."

This number might not be worth mentioning for the two men, but for a person from an ordinary family, it might be a number that they would never see in their entire life!

A bitter smile appeared on the man's face, and then he explained in a low voice, "Mr. Henry, you are wrong. Look, this is obviously a number that I will suffer losses. You know, if I sell this cooperation plan to others, I will not only sell it at this price, right?"

As a rich man, Henry would never care about such a small amount of money. It was also because of this that he was so confident to be negotiate with Henry. If Mr. Du had known that Henry was in a mess, he would not have said something like that.

Because every time he said one more word, he was constantly challenging Henry's heart. That man had always been moody. At such a special time, he dared to disobey his rebellious scales. He was digging his own grave!

With a sneer, Henry suddenly stood up, which startled Mr. Du. While Mr. Du was in a state of panic, Henry said quietly, "since you think so, you can cooperate with others. I specially came here today to see the scene. As for Mr. Du, please behave yourself. This is not a vegetable market. "

Then he stood up and was about to leave. Noticing that there was no joking in Henry's eyes, Mr. Du immediately panicked and put on a flattering smile without saying anything. Then he quickly caught up with him and fawned over him. "Mr. Henry, I was just joking with you. After all, we have known each other for so long. It's ok to play a joke between friends once in a while! Of course I will sign it! I hope we can make a profit after selling the houses in this area! "

While speaking, he kept winking at Henry to show his affection. Henry turned a deaf ear to this and just urged the other party to sign the contract in two copies. Once the contract was signed, it would prove that it was legal. Mr. Du kept chatting with Henry, but he had an idea. He quickly browsed the contract and confirmed that there were no overbearing terms. Then he wrote down his name, "Eddy".
