Chapter 362 They Were Not Close
Carl returned to the table next to him and sat down. Only then did James asked Gloria with concern,
"Are you okay?"
"Yes. Mr. Cook was inoffensive." Gloria turned her head and nced in Carl''s direction.
Who knew that Carl happened to be looking at her too, and his eyes were filled with confusion and
puzzlement.
"Good, let''s order." James didn''t continue the topic.
Carl, on the other side, was looking at Gloria while eating.
Mrs. Cook on the side suddenly said, "Carl, do you know what you look like now?"
"No?" Carl asked absently.
Mrs. Cook nced at Gloria, and mysteriously leaned into Carl''s ear and said, "You are like a husband
who caught his ''wife cheating - on himself''."
Carl turned his head and stared at Mrs. Cook for a few seconds before saying very seriously, "No, I am
a friend of that ''husband''."
"Huh?" Mrs. Cook was stunned for a while before asking tentatively, "That is your friend''s wife?"
"Yes." Carl responded. Thinking of Kenny, he sighed and shook his head.
After thinking about it, he took out his phone and prepared to call Edith. He was going to tell her that he
had seen Gloria.
However, he had not figured out what was going on with Gloria. If he told Edith, Edith could do nothing
but worry about her.
He had better figure out what was going on with Gloria first.
...
When Gloria and James finished eating, the people at the table next were still eating.
When the two people got in the car in the parking lot, James said, "I seem to have left my phone in the
restaurant. I''ll go get it. You wait for me in the car."
"Okay." Gloria didn''t doubt him at all and said, "Go ahead, I''ll wait for you."
James got out of the car, turned a corner, and reached the back door of the restaurant.
Carl was lighting a cigarette. When he saw James approaching, he asked, "Do you want one?"
"Thank you." James took the cigarette that Carl handed to him.
Carl puffed out a smoke ring, and asked directly with a cold face, "Who are you? How did you find
Gloria? Where did you hide her in the past three years?"
James handed out a business card of himself, "James Moore."
Carl took a look at it, nced over the words "Psychological Treatment Clinic", and put the business
card directly into the pocket of his trousers.
"You haven''t answered my questions yet." Carl had no interest in what James''s job was. He just
wanted to know about what happened to Gloria.
For Kenny, and also for Edith, he had the responsibility and obligation to know about what happened to
Gloria.
"I didn''t hide her. She was seriously injured in the ident that year and had dozens ofrge and small
operations. She was in aa in thest three years. She just woke up recently and forgot a lot of
things. I hope you guys the so-called ''friends from the past'' don''t bother her. She hasn''t recovered
completely."
James''s expression was serious, and his tone was also somewhat unquestionable.
After what happened that year, when Kenny returned home, he had almost recovered.
Therefore, Carl did not expect that Gloria would be injured so badly, and that she woke up after being
in aa for three years.
"Gloria grew up in Huyang City and she doesn''t have many friends. When did she know you?" James
was discreet in speech, so Carl inquired by asking other questions.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
"This has little to do with Mr. Cook, but she was saved by me. I am responsible for her health. You can
visit her, but please don''t disturb her or affect her to recover. if there''s nothing else, I''ll take my leave."
James said politely, but his tone was very tough.
His meaning was clear. Gloria was saved by him, so he didn''t stop Carl and the others from contacting
Gloria. However, he didn''t want them to talk to Gloria about her past.
This man was simply unreasonable!
But……
Carl thought of Kenny''s current situation, grabbed his hair irritably, and kicked the wall.
The next moment, he was holding his foot in pain and jumping around on one foot.
...
When James returned to the car, Gloria was almost asleep with her eyes half-closed.
Hearing the sound of closing the car door, Gloria opened her eyes.
Seeing her opening her eyes, James simply asked her, "You are very sleepy?"
"I guess a little." Gloria nced at the phone he had thrown aside, and asked, "What took you so
long?"
James''s expression was as usual, "I went to the bathroom by the way."
Gloria nodded as if she wished to speak but stopped on a second thought.
"Just say it if you have something to say." James saw her being hesitant, and the corners of his lips
rose slightly.
Hearing what James said, Gloria stopped hesitating and asked, "Do I really know that Mr. Cook?"
"Maybe, what do you think?" James asked her as he started the car.
"Don''t you know him?" Gloria was a little surprised. She thought that James knew Carl.
James chuckled and said, "I don''t know him, and I''m not sure if you know him. As you think, I and him
were not close, either."
Gloria had always felt that she and James may not be as close as the usual "unmarried couple", but
she did not expect James to have noticed the thoughts in her heart.
She said uneasily, "How do you... know..."
"Because, I use this to see you, so I can know what you are thinking." James stretched out his hand
and pointed at his chest.
Although he was speaking to her, he did not look at her.
When Gloria turned her head to look over, she could only see the side of his face.
At this moment, James suddenly turned his head to look at her, "If you feel very moved, you can tell me
directly."
Hearing this, Gloria couldn''t helpughing, "I''m very moved."
James curved the corners of his mouth andughed silently.
...
After Carl went back, he was upset when he thought about it.
He drove to the rke Group to block Kenny''s way.
The workaholic Kenny, whether on weekdays or weekends, would stay in thepany. If you want to
see him, it was right to block his way at the rke Group''s gate.
When it was nearly eight o''clock in the evening, Carl finally saw Kennye out of the gate of the
rke Group.
"Kenny!"
Carl yelled and ran towards him.
Kenny frowned when he saw Carl, and said, "Why are you here again? What do you want from me? Or
do you want me to invest in you? I said I am not interested in Shengding Media."
Carl, "..."
Three years ago, after Kenny woke up, like Gloria, he forgot everyone and everything, including Gloria.
Not to mention him who had been oppressed by Kenny for a long time.
"I have told you for countless times that you are the boss behind Shengding Media!" Carl couldn''t
remember how many times he had exined this to Kenny in the past three years.
