SPOILED GIRL, VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 10

What was more, David would not spoil Dylan by allowing him to hurt others like this. There were many ways to fix problems but using force was not one of them. Although Nora was wicked, David still cared about the innocent baby in her belly.

Dylan wanted to explain that it was an accident, but he bore everything silently when he saw David’s angry eyes. With a quick glance at Nora, who was still lying on the floor, he turned his sorrow inwards and left. He was heartbroken that his father thought ill of him.

When Rita had discovered that she was pregnant, David had arranged for the family doctor to live in a villa next to his, just in case there ever were any complications or a need to call him.

Within three minutes, the doctor arrived to check on Nora. She was pale and had not regained consciousness yet.

The maid’s room became crowded with so many people in it, and David could not help feeling depressed standing in the small room.

“So, how is she?” David asked after quite a while of the doctor examining her.

“Miss Nora is very fragile right now and she was deeply frightened by something. The baby was also hurt by the fall.

Therefore, she needs to stay in bed until further notice and should not be upset in any way. Otherwise, she might lose the baby. What’s more, if she loses the baby, it might be impossible for her to get pregnant again,” the doctor told David patiently, though he was also surprised by Nora’s fragile state. He had checked on Nora before and she had not been as weak as this. ‘Why would her condition worsen like this all of a sudden?’ the doctor could not help wondering as he quietly packed away his instruments.

“Okay, got it,” David answered briskly. David’s eyebrows furrowed at the thought that Nora might actually have told the truth this time.

‘She must have suffered a lot at Darren’s hands. If she really loses the baby, it might be impossible for her to get pregnant again…’ he fretted, feeling somewhat responsible for her condition.

The more of the truth David discovered, the more troubled he felt. It seemed that he had really misunderstood Nora this time. At this point, Nora had become a pathetic and fragile creature, as she could lose not only her baby but also her life if matters turned for the worse. After Stuart sent the doctor away, David looked at Nora with mixed feelings.

Seeing her ghostly pale face, he said in a low voice to the maids, “When she wakes up, arrange for her to live in a room on the second floor. As for other necessities, just give her anything she wants.”

Heaving a sigh, David seemed to think of something and he reminded the maids again, “Do not let her come close to Rita or Dylan. Do not let her meet with them.

And do not tell Rita about the news that Nora is now living in this house.”

‘Dylan has shown hostility toward Nora, but she risked so much to come and warn us. I should protect her and the unborn child, at least until it is safely born, ‘ David thought, making up his mind.

Rita had not fully recovered from her initial shock at the news concerning her sister. If she met Nora again, she would definitely ask her about Michelle and become more aggravated. Therefore, David believed that keeping Rita and Nora apart was for the best in order to protect Rita, Dylan, and Nora.

“Yes, sir,” all the maids answered without hesitation. When they raised their heads again, David had already gone.

The senior maid dismissed the rest of the maids from Nora’s room and walked to Nora’s bedside. “Miss Nora, they have all left,” she said in a low voice.

Nora slowly opened her eyes as she had only been pretending to be asleep. Her brown eyes were full of complacency at this moment. Clearly, everything was going according to plan.

“You are the one Darren arranged in this house, right?” Nora asked with a lazy but surprisingly strong voice as she smiled with great pleasure. There was much to be content about. She had gained a foothold in David’s heart yet again, even if it was only there because of his pity for her.

‘David, I know you care for Rita very much. But so what? You are still being fooled by me and this maid, ‘ Nora thought happily as she stretched her arms.

“Yes, ma’am. Mr. Darren asked me to tell you that the stay in David’s home is temporary, and that he will give further orders later,” the maid answered politely.

“What’s your name?” asked Nora as she cocked her head to one side. Although Nora hated Darren very much, she had no choice but to hide all those emotions deep inside her heart.

“Ariel.” Ariel’s mouth curved upward in a brief smile and something unidentifiable flashed through her eyes. She had a slight air of mystery to her that Nora could not quite unravel.

“Ariel, Ariel…” Nora murmured the name in a low voice and could not help but feel there was something different about the name.

‘Where on earth did I hear that name before?’ Nora puzzled absently.

“Miss Nora, please continue pretending to be asleep, otherwise, the others might notice something amiss.” Ariel turned to leave as soon as she finished speaking because she did not want to encourage Nora’s suspicions at all.

As Ariel was just a maid, Nora decided not to waste any more time by thinking about her name and quickly closed her eyes. She knew that she needed to be very careful as David’s subordinates were everywhere in the house and one misplaced word could easily reveal her secrets. She had come too far now to be derailed by a clumsy mistake.

In the study, Dylan was punished by David by being made to stand facing the wall. Although Dylan felt aggrieved, he still followed his father’s words. He would always do as his father asked, even if he had been wrongfully accused.
In fact, Dylan had pushed Nora on purpose, but he had not used enough force to cause her to fall.

David sat on the chair in the study and fell into deep reflection.

Several days passed, and nothing more happened in David’s house until Jacob’s call came.

“David, Darren appears to have reached an agreement with Rita’s sister. Then, it follows that Nora did indeed come to you with a purpose. My subordinates discovered that ever since Nora returned to Z Country, there was a woman following her, and that woman seems to work for Darren,” Jacob explained in a calm voice.

Hearing what Jacob said, David’s eyebrows shot up as all his emotions mixed together in this moment. He struggled momentarily with feelings of outrage, doubt, and suspicion as he considered the fact that he had almost been fooled again by Nora.

“Who is that woman?” David asked in a low voice, holding his anger as his fists tightened on the arms of his chair.

“The woman who is following Nora is probably the same person that Rita has spent years looking for. My guess is that she is Michelle,” Jacob told David, thinking of everything he had discovered.

He knew that this was David’s family’s affair, so he didn’t want to hide anything from David despite the fact that this new information might not play out as they would have hoped.

‘Michelle?’

David’s heart skipped a beat as Jacob’s words had proven the worst suspicions in his mind. He felt a heaviness in his heart as he thought of the sorrow this news might bring Rita.

But David could not understand why Michelle had not shown up earlier, as she might have already known that Rita was looking for her. As for the deal with Darren, David really wanted to figure out what on earth it entailed.

“The woman is very capable at anti-reconnaissance, so my subordinates lost her even before she arrived in Jingshi City. But I think that she must already be in Jingshi City now. Maybe she is already staying with you.”

This was also the first time that Jacob felt that he had met with a powerful opponent, and it was a woman! This made Jacob feel very uncomfortable. If he had not been afraid that Emily might become jealous, he would definitely have searched for the woman by himself.

Jacob relished a challenge, and these new developments were certainly proving to be challenging.

“Okay, got it. Please keep an eye out for me so that my family is protected here.

But I want to send Dylan to your house for a few days. He has been very hostile to Nora, so I’m afraid that he might hurt her, or get hurt himself. What’s more, Rita is far along her pregnancy now and requires my attention. I do not have much time to take care of him at present.”

David’s eyes appeared sad and dull as he felt awful for sending Dylan away to live with Jacob.

“Okay. I will ask Sam to pick him up,” Jacob answered without hesitation. Added to these troubles, Beryl had been very unhappy for several days, because Dylan had failed to keep their appointment at the amusement park.

Jacob thought that Beryl might need to have a talk with Dylan to smooth matters out between them. A visit from Dylan might give the two children a chance to mend fences.

“Okay. I have to go.” David hung up the phone and stared off into space with a stony face for quite a while before walking out of the study.

Rita had been pregnant for four months and her pregnancy was beginning to show. She was seldom in a good mood, but at the moment, she was happy and had gone outside to water the flowers in the garden.

David hesitated for a long while as he thought of how to phrase the delicate decision he had reached. Finally, he walked toward Rita, and upon reaching her, he wrapped his arms around her swelling belly and kissed her neck tenderly. He did not relish having to tell her about his decision to send Dylan to Jacob’s as she was Dylan’s mother and would naturally be upset.

“Rita, come and take some rest for a while,” David gently requested as he took the watering can from her hand.

“Okay,” Rita answered naturally. Ever since Rita had discovered that Michelle was still alive but had become a secret agent, she was always feeling blue and did not want to expend any energy by arguing with David. It seemed that her poor temper was draining her of her strength.

“Honey, I want to send Dylan to Emily’s and Jacob’s house. Your pregnancy is becoming more and more obvious. So, we do not have enough time to take good care of him. And…”
