Spoiled By My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 47 She's Watching You

“Yeah!”

Lottie nodded her head while picking up the food with chopsticks, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s on my way.”

“I will take you guys for a ride tomorrow.”

Ralph elegantly took the dishes in her bowl and ate it, “I take this for the fare.”

Lottie went speechless.

“Oh my god! That means I can go to the Caknard with Mr. Chapman?”

When Lottie told Connie the news after the meal, Connie directly went crazy. She texted Lottie, “At first

I just want to be casual! Now it looks like I have to wear my most expensive clothes!”

Lottie sat on the bay window while glancing at Ralph in the distance secretly.

At this moment, he was leaning against the bed while reading a book.

The table lamp shone on his side face, which made the outline of his face even more shaped and more

charming.

She pursed her lips and carefully replied to Connie, “You are so exaggerated…”

“You don’t understand!”

Connie sent her an emoji of rolling eyes, “Lottie, I am your bestie!”

“I am meeting Mr. Chapman for the first time so I have to make a good impression on him!”

“Otherwise, he will think that you have no good friends but only assholes like Isobel and Luke!”

Lottie inexplicably felt upset once she mentioned Isobel and Luke.

Lottie simply switched off her phone and climbed back into her bed after chatting with Connie.

“You seem unhappy.”

Ralph put the book down silently and turned the light off.

“Yes, I am.”

The room was dim as only one bedside lamp was on.

Lottie looked at the ceiling and said, “Isobel is pregnant.”

“So?”

Ralph asked nonchalantly with a low voice.

“I don’t want to hurt a pregnant woman.”

Lottie closed her eyes, “Isobel came to me again this afternoon.”

“I think you are right! I have left a weak impression so they think they can easily bully me!”

“I want to be strong and I want them to pay for what they once did…”

She released a long sigh, “But Isobel is pregnant.”

She had lost a child five years ago.

So she knew the pain of losing a child very well.

She was even clear about how cruel it was to take the life of an unborn child.

A child was innocent.

She had been hurt like that so she could hurt an unborn baby.

“It’s nothing different though she’s pregnant.”

Ralph’s voice was faint and without much emotion, “If they don’t cherish their child… then you don’t

have to be merciful either.”

“It’s the child’s parents’ duty to protect the child, not yours!”

Ralph’s words made Lottie silent for a long time.

It was the parents’ duty to protect their children.

For a long time, she closed her eyes and silently grabbed the corner of the quilt with both of her hands.

She was an incompetent mother.

Five years ago, she insisted on going to send Luke off to the airport even though she knew that her

child was less than a month away from being born.

An accident happened to her on the way to the airport.

It was a severe car accident.

She was rescued in the operating room for a whole day before waking up.

The baby didn’t survive and she lost her memory for over a month.

She could still remember how hopeless she was on that day.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

This night, Lottie had a dream.

In the dream, there was a little girl who looked exactly like her, standing in front of her and crying.

“Mommy, why don’t you protect me?”

“Mommy, I miss you so much, but why don’t you come to me…”

“Mommy, I really want to be with you…”

Lottie was heartbroken when she looked at her little pitiful look.

She chased after her desperately but the little girl looked as if she was so far away and no matter how

hard she chased after her, she couldn’t catch her.

But she caught up at last.

She held the little girl tightly in her arms, “It was mommy’s fault. Mommy failed to protect you…”

“Lottie!”

“Lottie!”

At this time, two children’s voices rang out behind her.

Lottie hurriedly turned back.

Behind her, it was Fabian and Elijah whose eyes were full of sadness.

The two looked at her with their tears slipping silently, “Don't you want us anymore?”

Lottie was stunned. She held her daughter with one hand and tried to reach towards them with the

other, trying to wipe away Elijah’s tears, “Don’t cry. I won’t abandon you guys!”

“I won’t abandon you guys!”

“I won’t…”

Lottie sat up from the bed.

The dream disappeared and her body was already all covered with cold sweat.

She grabbed her collar and gasped for a long breath before her emotions gradually came back from

that nightmare.

Finally, she released a long sigh of relief and then lay back in bed.

But she couldn’t fall asleep anymore.

She glanced at the clock which showed that it was only just after six in the morning.

She then decided to get up after struggling in bed for a long time.

She passed by the study room on her way out of the door.

The door to the study room was opened slightly.

The man inside the door was staring earnestly at the computer screen.

From the loudspeaker of the computer, there was the foreign language.

He had a meeting again.

Lottie pursed her lips, remembering that he had once said that it was better for him to stay up alone for

a multinational meeting than for a dozen of executives to stay up all night.

Standing at the doorway, her heart inexplicably fluttered for a moment when she watched the man’s

serious face in the study room and listened to his fluent French.

Until…

Until the sleepy Fabian appeared, “Good morning, Lottie.”

“What are you eavesdropping in front of Daddy’s study so early in the morning?”

His voice was loud enough.

As soon as he said this, Ralph, who was speaking French inside the study room, paused.

She pursed her lips and subconsciously raised her eyes to look towards inside the study room.

She met his sharp and deep eyes.

His eyes were so dangerous and it seemed he could read all her mind.

Lottie got panicked and she hurriedly ran downstairs.

Fabian smiled when looking at her back as she left.

Fabian yawned and opened the door to the study room. Ignoring Ralph was still in a meeting, he

climbed onto his desk directly and sat down on it.

He sat on the edge of the desk with his short legs and his yellow duck pajamas trousers were dangling

in the air, “Lottie was eavesdropping and watching at the door for a long time.”

“I don’t think she knows French, so she is not eavesdropping on company’s secrets.”

Ralph gave him a faint look and turned the computer off, “Then what was she doing?”

“She was watching you!”

Fabian rolled his eyes, “Daddy, be more confident! She was watching you!”

The man’s eyes showed a hint of gladness, “Why was she watching me?”

Fabian frowned and thought for a moment, “Perhaps she was thinking when you will set off to Caknard

with her.”

Ralph went speechless.
