Chapter 48 She’s My Wife
After breakfast, Lottie carried her backpack and got into the car with Ralph.
Fabian and Elijah stood at the door as if they were the parents watching their children going out.
Fabian was nagging again.
“Please be careful.”
“Don’t be too nice to other children.”
“Please come back early and cook some good meals for us.”
“Please take more nice photos.”
“Please…”
Elijah looked at him indifferently.
After a while, he raised his head. He looked at Lottie with his big shiny eyes. “Be happy.”
Lottie nodded, “I will.”
This time, she was just going on a trip to relax.
After she came back from this trip, she would definitely not care about anything about Luke or even Isobel!
“Let’s go.”
Ralph frowned and said coldly as he stood behind the two boys.
Lottie opened the door and got into the car.
Ralph, who looked tall, turned around and looked at the two boys who were shorter than his thigh. “I’ve had so many business trips, but I haven’t seen you two seeing me off at all.”
Fabian rolled his eyes. “Daddy, you’re an adult. Do you still need our concern?”
Ralph was surprised for a while.
“Isn’t Lottie an adult too?”
“That’s different!”
“What’s the difference?”
Fabian pursed his lips. Before he was thinking about the answer, Elijah turned around and walked in. “We value females more than males.”
Fabian nodded quickly, “That’s right!”
“Daddy, please take good care of Lottie!”
After that, he quickly caught up with Elijah, “Brother, wait for me!”
“Don’t touch the cookies that Lottie cooked for me!”
Ralph was standing there while looking at their ruthless sight of back. He sighed gently.
There was not even a single word of farewell?
How could they favor someone else but not him!
He stood there until the children disappeared from his sight and then, he got into the car.
Lottie was having a phone call with Connie in the car.
“Lottie, I’m already waiting at the junction!”
“I’m wearing the most expensive clothes on myself. If Mr. Chapman still thinks that my wearing is too cheap, please remember that I’ve tried my best!”
“I woke up at 5 in the morning. I did my make-up for about two hours because I don’t want you to feel ashamed…” Connie spoke loud.
Although Lottie was not using the speaker, she even tried to cover the speaker with her hand. However, Connie’s loud voice was still echoing in the car.
Ralph, who was in a black suit, sat beside Lottie. He was looking at her indifferently.
Lottie knew he must have heard it!
“Keep your voice lower!”
Lottie pursed her lips and covered the speaker as hard as she could.
But it did not seem to work at all.
“Although Mr. Chapman has seen me in the video call last time he is so busy all the time that he won’t remember my face.”
“This time, I’m going to shape my image in his mind!”
Lottie rolled her eyes, “Connie, keep your voice lower…”
Before she could finish her words, Ralph stretched out his slender hand.
He stretched out his two long fingers to grab her mobile phone and pressed the hands-free button. “You don’t have to do that.”
Connie, who was still chattering on the phone, suddenly stopped as if she was frozen.
Ralph’s voice was low and cold. “There’s no need to do this next time. It’s a waste of time.”
“I won’t watch you so carefully.”
Connie was speechless.
Lottie was speechless as well.
In the silence, Ralph hung up the phone gracefully and handed it back to Lottie.
“Start the car.”
As he finished his sentence, Sean quickly started the engine.
The black Maserati was speeding through the streets in the city.
Lottie was squeezing the phone for a while as she could not gain back her mind.
After a while, she pursed her lips and looked at Ralph. “How could you… do that?”
“What?”
“Is that too rude?”
Ralph moved his body and leaned against the back seat of the car. He leaned back lazily and closed his eyes to rest. “She is being too nervous.”
“You’re my wife, while she’s your good friend. There are many chances for us to meet in the future.”
He opened his eyes as he stared at her with his deep eyes. “Do you want her to be nervous every time she meets me?”
Lottie was speechless.
She was not sure whether it was because his eyes were too fascinating or because his voice was too attractive that she could only remain dazed while looking at him at this moment.
She even thought that whatever he said made sense.
She stared at him and he looked into her eyes.
For this moment of eye contact, Lottie felt like her breathing was getting harder and harder while her face was turning hot…
When the atmosphere between the two of them became more and more flirtatious, the car suddenly stopped.
Sean lowered the window and looked at the woman standing in front of the bus stop sign, “Are you Miss Connie Houghton?”
“It’s me!”
Connie was wearing a gorgeous long dress. She nodded quickly and ran towards their car excitedly.
When she was about five meters away from Maserati, her high heels suddenly broke…
“Bang…”
Her face fell directly onto the ground.
Lottie patted her forehead helplessly, opened the door, and got out of the car. She rushed towards Connie and pulled her up, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Connie felt embarrassed while being helped by Lottie. “What a shame…”
“It’s okay. He is not an outsider.”
“He’s my husband, who you will see more often in the future.”
She opened the door of the back seat of the car, “Come in.”
When Connie was about to sit in the backseat, she saw Ralph’s face.
She screamed and moved away. “Um, it’s fine. I’ll seat at the front.”
Connie did not care about her injured foot and rushed to the front seat. She opened the door and got into the car immediately.
Lottie was speechless.
In fact, she wanted Ralph to change the seat for Connie…
As she looked at Connie sitting at the passenger seat and her seat belt was buckled, Lottie had no choice but to sit beside Ralph.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
The way between Rexwell and Caknard was quite a distance.
It was absolute silence in the car.
Lottie looked at the tedious scenery outside the car window and started yawning.
The riding moment was too comfortable and the atmosphere is quiet, so Lottie started to become sleepy.
Finally, she took a deep breath and fell asleep while her head leaned on the car window.
After a while, she felt a hand stretching towards her and pulled her head away from the car window.
In the end, she leaned against his warm chest.
Suddenly, there was a voice.
“Mr. Chapman, you’re so kind… to Lottie.”
“She is my wife.”
