Chapter 20 Pick Her Up?

It was late.

Gwyneth went to Karlyn to get the household registration documents and say goodbye. Karlyn was making the bed for her.

Learning that she was leaving, Karlyn was upset. “Are you leaving now? Why don’t you stay here?”

Gwyneth shook her head. “No. I need to go to work!”

“Why do you need these documents?” Karlyn didn’t expect her to ask for the documents.

After all, they were not needed for common uses.

Gwyneth said, “Our company will go abroad at the end of the year. I need them for a visa.”

She didn’t want her sister to be worried, so she lied.

After all, it was a fake marriage. There would be no future between Gwyneth and Raynard because they would get a divorce.

Karlyn nodded and gave her the documents. Gwyneth took them. “I’ll bring them back next time.”

Karlyn said, “It’s OK.”

Gwyneth checked the documents. There was a document about their late grandmother too.

She glanced at Karlyn, who had gained some weight, and asked, “When will you get your household registration?”

Karlyn’s face changed.

Gwyneth took a tumble. Karlyn married Nelson because of their mother, Lindsey Gaines.

One of Lindsey’s relatives set Nelson and Karlyn up. Lindsey wanted Karlyn to settle down in Harbor City.

But now, her kid was 5 years old. The household registration issue was still to be solved.

Seeing Karlyn’s dark eyes, Gwyneth looked around and turned to Bella.

“Bella is in primary school now. You should get a job.”

Karlyn was supported by a sponsor and went to a famous college. She shouldn’t have been a housewife.

Gwyneth even thought it was wrong to listen to Lindsey!

Karlyn regretted it too.

Ages didn’t mean more wisdom.

Karlyn was honest. “I want to, but no one picks her up from school.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Bella stayed in school during the day. Karlyn talked to Sara, but Sara refused to pick her up.

Yet, they wanted her to have another child. Even Gwyneth could tell it during the meal.

Gwyneth said seriously, “Let her eat in school. You still have many chances then.”

Karlyn looked at Gwyneth and wanted to say something.

Gwyneth said, “It’s not a good time for you to have another kid!”

Karlyn’s face turned pale.

She didn’t expect Gwyneth to realize it. Karlyn didn’t want to have another baby.

No one could help her once she had one. And Nelson and Sara blamed her every time the kid got sick.

She had it enough.

Soon, Raynard called over and told Gwyneth that he was waiting in the alley.

Gwyneth didn’t expect him to pick her up here. She hung up and looked at Karlyn with concern.

She gave Karlyn 800 dollars, but Karlyn refused. “Dudley asks you for money all the time. Keep it!”

Dudley Webb was their half-brother.

Lindsey thought Karlyn had married a rich man and lived a good life.

So she always asked Karlyn to support Dudley.

But Karlyn had no money. So she had to ask Gwyneth for help.

As time passed by, Dudley would even shamelessly go to Gwyneth.

Mentioning Dudley, Gwyneth snorted, “He’s an intern now. We should not give him money.”

Dudley even called her yesterday. She was mad and hung up.

Later, Raynard called her. Gwyneth hadn’t given Dudley for three months.

Karlyn hesitated. “You know her. If you don’t give him money, she will mess around.”

It happened before. Karlyn was afraid of her hysterical mother.

Gwyneth’s face darkened. “She’ll only go further and further! We can’t let her do whatever she wants!”

Karlyn said, “If you don’t want to give him money, then don’t.”

“Alright! I gotta go!” Raynard had been waiting for her. She didn’t have time.

Every time they talked about Dudley, they were displeased.

Karlyn nodded and asked her to take some food with her.

Gwyneth refused. But Karlyn knew she didn’t enjoy the meal. So she cooked some food for Gwyneth so that Gwyneth could eat at home.

Karlyn wanted to see her off, but Gwyneth didn’t want her to see Raynard. So she used Bella as an excuse.

It was completely dark.

Gwyneth walked in the dim light with the food. As soon as she walked out of the alley, she saw a black Maybach.

He leaned against the car door and smoked.

She felt that his gaze was creepy. She said respectfully, “Mr. Fletcher.”

“Did you get the documents?”

“Yes.” Gwyneth nodded.

Raynard turned around and pulled the door open. “Get in.”

Seeing him act like a gentleman, Gwyneth was nervous.

She had never expected that he would open the door for her! She didn’t dare to get in.

Raynard found her still. He smiled teasingly, “What?”

“Well, Mr. Fletcher, you must be busy. I can go home myself!”

Gwyneth felt that Raynard must have come here for business.

But Raynard’s face darkened because of her words. He said in a deep voice, “I’m here to pick you up.”

Gwyneth was speechless.

She was so shocked.

He came to pick her up?

She looked up into Raynard’s gentle eyes and couldn’t help falling into a daze.

Raynard raised his brow and signaled her to get into the car.

Gwyneth didn’t know what to do… She seemed to have no choice.

Finally, under his sharp gaze, she got into the car.

The door was closed. Raynard walked around to the driver’s seat.

As his assistant, she had never taken the passenger’s seat.

Unlike other cars that smelled strangely, there was a fresh smell in the car.

Raynard glanced at the food she held. “Your sister cooked for you?”

She nodded. “Yes.”

Every time she came, her sister would cook for her.

They didn’t say anything until they reached Riverside Community.

Gwyneth didn’t know why he brought her here. She asked nervously, “What do you want me to do, Mr. Fletcher?”

She thought she needed to work overtime.

After all, she needed to take care of him as his assistant.

Her sudden question brought him back to his senses. He didn’t realize that he brought her here.

“It’s OK. You need to live here from now on.”

Gwyneth was shocked.

She needed to live here! She was not prepared at all!

Gwyneth stammered nervously, “I-isn’t it a fake marriage?”

Raynard pushed the door open. Before he got out of the car, he said, “Yeah. But you need to live here.”

He gave no explanation. It was just an order that she could not refuse!

Gwyneth grabbed the bag in her hand in panic.

She was so afraid of Raynard in the company.

But now, they would stay together after work!

She worried that she would be freaked out every night.

Raynard’s cold voice sounded outside. “Get off!”

Gwyneth was quiet.
