I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 182: Chapter 147: Protective Coloration 1

Translator: 549690339 I        —

Rainer and Harrison Clark faced each other, Carrie Thomas sat next to

Harrison, pretending to trim her nails but actually feeling restless and vigilant. Rainer was oblivious to the subtle atmosphere in the room and said earnestly, “Mr. Clark, I’ve thanked you many times on our way here.”

“No need, no need. We’re like brothers,” Harrison waved his hand.

“Hmm,” Rainer smiled, finding Harrison more and more pleasing to the eye, “Charles Butler’s family gave you two million dollars in gratitude. I am just a researcher and haven’t saved much money over the years.”

Harrison shook his head, “No need, I’m not short of money.”

“I think so too,” Rainer nodded, “So I won’t talk about money with you.”

Carrie Thomas hummed from the sideline, “Charles only preserved his life and gave so much, you didn’t even get hurt, how can you be so shameless?” She had many implicit meanings.

Rainer looked slightly embarrassed.

Fortunately, Harrison came to his rescue, “Carrie, what nonsense are you talking about? Rainer and I hit it off right away, how can we talk about money? How vulgar? If it was really just for money, would I need to risk so much?” Carrie rolled her eyes, secretly thinking.

Yes, yes, we all know you’re not short of money.

If it’s not for money, could it be for his people?

“Hmph!”

She remained silent.

It was unclear how much Rainer understood, but he pondered, “Anyway, 1 will never forget your great kindness. To use a local proverb, I’ll repay you with whatever you need in the future!”

This statement carried quite some weight.

Carrie was about to say he was so good at paying lip service that it didn’t sound sincere.

Unexpectedly, Harrison clapped, “Good brother! I’ll remember your words!” Rainer nodded heavily, then stood up to leave.

As a witness to the incident and the introducer of a major Sino-US cooperation project, Rainer needed to give a complete account to all parties.

So the dinner and conversation scheduled for tonight had to be postponed. Fortunately, the main persons in charge of various aspects of the project were still alive, so if Rainer continued to push forward, the cooperation could continue.

Rainer left, but Carrie didn’t.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became strange.

It was a mixture of silence, embarrassment, and contemplation, as if something was brewing.

Carrie’s hands were intertwined, her fingertips constantly rubbing her hands. Harrison said, “Let’s rest for a while, and then well go to Beverly for dinner. Since we’ve been given the money, we might as well not waste it.”

He stood up as if to go to the bedroom.

Carrie stopped him from behind, “Wait a minute.”

“What’s up?”

“You don’t really have that kind of feeling for Rainer, right?” She couldn’t help but ask.

As she spoke, she clenched her fists and touched the fingertips of both hands.

Harrison’s eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, “What?”

He understood.

He was speechless, “My God, what are you thinking? Haven’t I explained it? Why are you still going on and on?”

Carrie, “You can’t blame me. Your performance was just too…what’s that.” Harrison sat back down on the sofa, took out his phone, and searched for Rainer’s personal information.

“You look for yourself, and you’ll understand why I value him so much.”

Five minutes later, Carrie put down her phone.

Her face changed several times, “It’s my ignorance. Such a scientist is indeed admirable. Looks can be deceiving; he’s only twenty-nine!”

Harrison nodded, “Yes, if he had died just like that, how pitiful would it be? That’s why I went all out to save him. It’s the same as when I saved you and Susan Lambert. My motivation was actually the same. He’s quite good, but you’re not bad either. Do you understand?”

Carrie had long known about his expectations for her and nodded, “But why did you know for sure that something would happen to him?”

Harrison shook his head again, “Not for sure, but possibly. Under this weather, it’s just possible. It’s the same as when I saved you, my right eyelid kept jumping, so I decided to take action. If I guessed wrong, I’d only lose one day. Carrie looked at Harrison, the light flickering in her eyes.

She understood him once again, more profoundly.

He had a great and unspeakable feeling in his heart.

His personality seemed ordinary, but his heart harbored great ideals that ordinary people could not understand, and he had the ability to put them into practice and truly achieve them.

Knowing such a man was such a blessing.

Her own pursuit was music.

His pursuit and ideals were so great that it was awe-inspiring just to think about them.

If someone else understood Harrison, they might find him ridiculous and arrogant.

But not Carrie, because in a way, she was also pursuing that kind of realm.

She could resonate with Harrison.

“Harrison, I like you.”

She spoke up.

Without hesitation.

That’s just her nature.

Harrison was briefly shocked, but quickly calmed down.

He did not avoid it, but nodded, “I know.”

“Uh…”

Carrie was caught off guard.

She didn’t expect Harrison to answer so bluntly that she didn’t know how to continue the conversation for a moment.

“And, I quite like you too. But as you once said to me, having feelings doesn’t mean becoming a lover. I’m very satisfied with the way we get along now, and I find it very comfortable and relaxed. I believe you feel the same, right?” Carrie thought for about twenty seconds, then laughed, “That’s not wrong.” “So there you have it,” Harrison patted her shoulder, “Confessions and whatnot, nothing can change anything. After all, we have a lot to do, and only time will tell where we go from here. You may not believe it, but I have a ridiculous notion that if we don’t become lovers, we will never become enemies.”

Carrie shook her head, “I don’t agree with you on this.”

“Alright, you have your opinion, and I won’t argue with you. But I think now, going further in our relationship might hurt your creative ability. However, I cannot guarantee that this thought will not change in the future. For now, let’s take it one step at a time, and time will give us the answer.”

Carrie, “Mm. But I think that won’t hurt my creative ability either.”

Harrison,”…”

He ran.

Slammed the door behind him.

He covered his own heart.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The fierce beating sound at the heart, as if Auntie Snow was knocking on the door.

He leaned back against the door and slid down to the ground. Becoming a saint is so difficult.

Not to mention, Carrie was so beautiful, so talented, and had such a…

Well, sometimes quite violent, but after getting to know her, she turned out to be simple and guileless.

Her previous coldness

was nothing more than a protective color she wore..
