Chapter 35 I Have Always Been There
Claire threw herself at Henry, which instantly dispelled his anger.
At the beginning, he wanted to question Claire about the cause and effect of this matter. There were many women around Louis, but he only cared so much about Claire. Could it be that there was something he didn't know between the two?
Tears welled up in Claire's eyes. She grasped Henry's collar tightly and sobbed, "Henry... It's really you. It's so good to see you here. I thought... I thought... "
Indeed, if it was in the past, Claire wouldn't have done such a sentimental thing. But now it was different. When she was in danger and felt that her life was being persecuted, the first person she thought of was the arrogant Henry! And people would not understand their hearts until they were in the most dangerous time.
Her abnormal behavior made Henry feel uneasy for no reason. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he suddenly held her hand. While checking inside and outside, he asked, "What's wrong? Are you injured? Damn it! How dare Louis hurt you! Let's go... "
Hearing that, Henry's mood was ignited in an instant. After giving vent to her fear, Claire realized that something was wrong. She quickly reached out her hand and grabbed Henry. Then she shook her head and said, "No, No. Louis didn't do anything to me. I was too timid to be frightened. But I'm really moved by your coming... I thought you wouldn't come, and you decided to let me die outside. After all, I'm just a nominal Mrs. Gu... "
At the end of her words, Claire was obviously a little absent-minded. Henry was stunned. After a while, he reached out his hand and gently pressed on the forehead of Claire, smiling, "If I don't have the ability to protect my woman, what else can I do? But you, don't try to hide. I, Henry, have been here all the time, and no one can hurt you. Understand? I have always been here. "
These seemingly unintentional words quietly opened the heart of Claire, and from then on, a man called Henry was occupied.
While Claire was telling Henry what had happened just now, Louis's voice suddenly came from a speaker in the room, "Thank you for attending our company's activity to reward our members. I believe you have heard of it. In this month, all the food and use on our cruise ship are free, in order to give you a relaxed and leisure holiday…… Of course, tonight I will also hold a ball to entertain you, and there will be more wonderful activities waiting for you. Now please move to our main hall. We have prepared all kinds of delicious dishes for you. I hope you can have a happy holiday. A month's cruise ship activity is about to begin... "
Henry heaved a sigh of relief. He gently combed up the hair near Claire's ear and asked patiently, "Are you hungry?"
If Henry hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't know he have cared so much about a seemingly ordinary woman. She was not as smart as others, nor was she in a better shape. But somehow, his eyes couldn't move away from her easily. It was as if he had been cursed, and he wanted to keep Claire in his pocket all the time.
Claire rarely acted in a spoiled way. She took the initiative to pull Henry's sleeve and gratefully said, "I was not very hungry. I had been eating porridge before I was suddenly captured. Louis said you would come, so he didn't lie to me! That's great... "
She had always thought that she was nothing in Henry's eyes, but this man came to such a place for her. He knew how much impact his company would have if he was not in the company for a month.
Henry lifted Claire's chin frivolously and looked at her for a while before he smiled. "Then let's go to have dinner together. I didn't even have dinner to look for you. You should... Come and have dinner with me, okay? "
Looking at the playful expression on Henry's face, Claire couldn't help but roll her eyes and emphasize, "You're so naughty. Can you respect a pregnant woman! I'm pregnant! Hey, don't try to avoid the topic. Look at my eyes, my pure little eyes. Hello! "
Unfortunately, as if Henry didn't want to hear it, he took Claire's hand and went out directly. The last second, Claire, who was still shouting, suddenly quieted down, and her eyes were still a little red. Henry would never know how relieved she was when she saw his back!
When the two of them arrived at the hall, Claire's eyes widened. This was the first time she took a cruise ship. In the past, her life was basically the same. She was thinking about making money and paying off her father's debt every day. She didn't have a chance to relax, let alone have a chance to see such a big scene.
On the table were all kinds of delicious dishes, some of which Claire had never seen before. Could she really taste all these things?
While thinking, Claire swallowed hard. Then she looked up at Henry and whispered, "These are all for us to eat? Your friend is so kind. He even brought so many delicious food to entertain us! "
Friend?
Hearing this, Henry's smile immediately disappeared, Henry held Claire's hand and emphasized, "Remember, don't mess with Louis. He is not my..."
Before Henry could finish his words, Louis put his hand on Claire's shoulder and sneered, "I'm not your? Mr. Henry, I'm going to be sad if you say that. Anyway, we have known each other for more than 10 years. If you deny it, I will be ashamed. "
Of course, the two of them were not friends. They were enemies and competitors. The reason why Henry was willing to come to his cruise ship this time was because of Claire, and more importantly, he
wanted to sound him out After all, if they opened this casino, Henry's business would be affected.
With a faint smile on Henry's face, Henry glanced at Louis and said calmly, "Take your hand off me. I, Henry, don't need your permission to do anything, do I? "
He was not a fool and knew what was on Louis's mind. But now that he had come in, it meant that he had been mentally prepared. Henry had never fought a battle without certainty!
Louis doesn't know where he got the nerve to take the initiative and challenge Henry. "Mr. Henry, I don't know if you are interested in gambling with me. As you know, the casino we are going to open next is the largest one in the A City. If it steal your business in the underground city, we will feel sorry for it..."
Hearing this, Henry squinted his eyes, with a hint of danger in them. "Really?"
At the invitation of Louis, Henry came to the second floor with him. All the people inside were cheering and screaming painfully. Claire began to shiver before she entered the room.
No one knew what would happen next, but she felt more and more uneasy! Didn't these two people know each other? Why did the atmosphere and feeling come out a little different from what she thought. Even though she was slow to react, she was aware of the seriousness of the matter at the moment.
But it was too late to stop them. Henry and Louis sat on two sides of the gambling table respectively. Their four eyes met, bursting out a strong smell of gunpowder. No one knew what kind of past these two people had in private so that they could not bear each other's existence.
It was not until Louis casually took a woman into his arms that he teased, "Mr. Henry, if you just gamble like this, it's not interesting at all. How about... How about we raise the stakes? This kind of thing
depends on luck. If you can win, I will do my best. But if you lose... Then we can promote communication. "
He wanted that woman... At the same time, he also wanted to give Henry a lesson. This man was so arrogant that he never looked at others in the eye! Besides, it was his place, so no one would know what he wanted to do secretly.
With a slight smile at the corners of his mouth, Henry slowly nodded and replied, "Okay. It didn't matter. Then what are your chips. I believe you won't let me down. "
After shrugging his shoulders indifferently, Louis pretended to be relaxed and said, "If I win, I will take your female companion. What do you think? It's very simple. It's just to promote the activities of both sides. Mr. Henry, can't you even do this? It's just a woman. If you want, you can choose any woman on my cruise. "
The girls on the cruise were hot and knew what men were thinking. Any one of them was enough to make a normal man have sex for a long time!
Henry smiled and said, "It's just a woman. I can afford it. If you lose, you can transfer 30% of your shares to me. What do you think? "This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
