Chapter 181: How to Soothe a Woman
Elara Don returned to work at Hawke Group.
Damon Hawke sat in the car, tore off the human skin mask, and looked pensive.
For the first time, he felt that understanding a woman’s heart was like searching for a needle in the sea.
She clearly had a good impression of him when he was Thomas King, so why did she suddenly change her attitude?
So, does he need to change his identity to approach her again?
No, that’s not the problem now.
The problem is how should he go about making a woman happy next?
It’s a bit of a headache!
Damon Hawke rubbed his temples, pondered for a moment, and called Craig Landers.
He wondered how Craig Landers was doing with Leia Quinn now.
Yesterday, he left Leia Quinn behind to take Selena Taylor to the hospital.
"Hello?"
Craig Landers’ voice came through the line, along with some background noise.
Damon Hawke raised an eyebrow, "At the hospital? Visiting Selena Taylor?"
"No, I’m on my way to my psychologist."
Craig Landers spoke lazily.
Isn’t his psychologist Leia Quinn?
Damon Hawke raised an eyebrow, "Going to see Leia Quinn, are you going to apologize?"
He was just in time, as he also wanted to learn how a woman-guru like him placates women.
"Ahem, Tom, can you not say it so bluntly? I didn’t do anything wrong, what’s there to apologize for? I’m just thinking of ways to cheer up my psychologist, that’s all."
Craig Landers looked at the bouquet in his hand, stubbornly refusing to admit that he was actually going to apologize.
"Oh? So tell me, how are you planning to cheer up Leia Quinn?"
Damon Hawke sneered inwardly, asking with great interest.
Craig Landers said, "Women, don’t they just like flowers and jewelry? As long as you present these, they’re guaranteed to soften up."
Is it that easy?
Why doesn’t he believe it?
Damon Hawke mused.
"Alright, do you have anything else? If not, I’m hanging up now."
Craig Landers looked at the psychiatric consultation room just ahead, lowering his voice.
Damon Hawke snapped back, giving a cold sneer, "Craig Landers, using such a shallow method to placate people, I’m waiting to see you fail."
After hanging up, he tapped his long fingers on the steering wheel, thought for a while, and dialed another number.
"Rhun Quinn, send me the latest set of jewelry from Hawthorne Jewels to my office."
Hmm, a woman’s heart is unfathomable and cannot be analyzed with common sense.
Perhaps they just like these simple and superficial ways of being placated?
...
At the hospital.
Craig Landers glared at the disconnected call, silently cursing his friend for being a wet blanket.
Couldn’t he say something encouraging?
At that moment, the door of the consultation room opened and Leia Quinn happened to walk out.
Craig Landers’ nerves tightened, and he quickly smiled to greet her.
"Cindy, baby, where are you going? I’ll go with you!"
It was lunchtime, and Leia Quinn had just finished eating and was about to go to the restroom.
Looking at the man’s fawning face, paired with a large bouquet of red roses, Leia Quinn ignored him and was ready to walk past him expressionlessly.
Craig Landers quickly grabbed her.
"Cindy, baby..."
"Mr. Landers, please let go."
Leia Quinn interrupted coldly before he could finish.
Craig Landers choked, letting go a bit sheepishly.
"Cindy, baby, are you angry?"
He knew that last night at the banquet, he definitely hurt Leia Quinn’s feelings.
But he didn’t do it on purpose.
From his angle at the time, the first thing he saw was Selena Taylor falling down the stairs.
His mind went blank, and his long-standing habit made him not see anyone else.
By the time he picked up Selena Taylor, he realized that Leia Quinn had fallen down with her as well.
He panicked, but before he could think, Selena Taylor already showed signs of miscarriage.
He could only take her to the hospital first.
Afterwards, he kept calling Leia Quinn, but her phone was unreachable.
He knew this misunderstanding was serious.
He had no choice but to take it slowly.
"Mr. Landers, I have nothing to do with you, I have no reason to be angry with you."
Leia Quinn spoke lightly and walked towards the restroom.
Craig Landers followed her, pulling her into a corner and enclosing her within it.
Leia Quinn was startled, looking at the man’s handsome face so close to hers, a flash of shame and anger crossing her eyes.
"Craig Landers, what exactly do you want?"
Could he stop bothering her!
Is this really meaningful?
Clearly unable to let go of his ex, yet still wanting to be in a relationship with her!
Does he have to be so despicable!
What does he take her for!
"Cindy, I was wrong, could you give me a chance to change my ways?"
Craig Landers forcibly stuffed the bouquet into Leia Quinn’s arms, encircling her waist with his freed hands.
Leia Quinn coldly turned her face, forcefully tossing the flowers aside.
"No! Mr. Landers, please stay away from me in the future! Is it fun to deceive yourself? People’s subconscious reactions are the most genuine; you’re still in love with Selena Taylor. What do you take me for by dragging me along with you?"
Anger, shame, and a hint of grievance made Leia Quinn’s chest heave.
Craig Landers looked at her, guilt and tenderness flashing in his eyes.
"Cindy, I know it’s useless to say anything now, but just one thing, I want to defend myself. I truly see you as my girlfriend; I really want to be with you."
He admitted he still had shadows of Selena Taylor in his heart because Selena was his first love, a woman he loved earnestly.
But he was already slowly forgetting her, hoping Leia Quinn would give him more time.
Craig Landers’ long fingers pinched Leia Quinn’s chin, looking at her reddening eyes, he sighed softly, slowly leaning in...
At that moment, his phone rang.
Craig Landers paused, took out his phone to have a look.
When he saw the caller ID, his expression flashed.
Leia Quinn, of course, also saw the caller ID on Craig Landers’ phone.
Her lips curled into a mocking smile.
It was a call from Selena Taylor; maybe she missed him!
As soon as Craig heard her voice, he would probably run off enthusiastically.
Craig Landers raised his eyes, seeing Leia Quinn’s mocking smile, he directly hung up the call.
"Cindy, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me, I’ll prove my determination with actions."
He would slowly sort out his feelings, treating Selena Taylor only as his sister-in-law.
The phone rang again.
Craig Landers frowned slightly, a trace of irritation flashing in his eyes.
He took out his phone again and saw it was still a call from Selena Taylor.
Leia Quinn pushed Craig Landers away, sneering, "Mr. Landers, you should just take the call. There’s no need to act indifferent in front of me."
Having said this, she was about to enter the restroom.
Craig Landers pulled her back and immediately answered the call in front of her.
"Sister-in-law, what’s up?"
"Wayne, where are you? I’m craving the hot and sour soup from Westcroft. Could you bring it to the hospital?"
Selena Taylor’s sweet voice came over the line.
Craig Landers tightened his grip on the struggling Leia Quinn and said, "Sorry, sister-in-law, I’m with my girlfriend right now. If you want to eat, just tell my brother, he’ll have someone buy it."
With that, Craig Landers directly hung up the phone.
He would use his actions to prove his determination to Leia Quinn.
He would clear things up with Selena Taylor!
