Chapter 51 Show Affection
Lottie had a dream this night.
She dreamed that Ralph was holding two children in the fire and rushing out desperately.
The fire had burned his trousers, but he didn’t have time to worry about it.
When he rushed out of the fire with the children in his arms, he was already exhausted.
After handing the children over to the doctor, he immediately fell down to the ground.
“Ralph…”
“Ralph!”
She called his name and woke up in shock.
“Is that a nightmare?”
Lottie heard Ralph’s deep and low voice.
Lottie opened her eyes and found she was in a strange room, which made her stunned for a moment.
After a while, she remembered that she met Ralph who was injured last night, so she came here with Sean to take care of Ralph.
At last, she laid by his bed and fell asleep unconsciously…
She raised her head and met with Ralph’s deep eyes.
At this moment, the man was leaning against the bedhead. His left shoulder was still wrapped with gauze while his right hand was turning over the documents that were placed on his thighs.
Lottie frowned.
Lottie thought to herself, “He is still working!”
“Is he a workaholic?”
‘He will kill himself!’
She stood up directly and snatched away his documents. “Take a rest.”
Ralph said with a smile, “It’s just a small wound.”
“A lot of people are waiting for my orders. If I stop working, many people will lose their jobs.”
Lottie pursed her lips and said, “Even so, you don’t have to start working so early.”
She looked at the time, and found it was just a few minutes past six in the morning.
“I’ll go to buy you breakfast.”
After she said that, she glanced at Ralph, “I’ll apply medicine to your wound after breakfast.”
“Before that, you are not allowed to work. Take a good rest!”
For the first time, Ralph was being ordered. He shook his head helplessly, “I am really fine.”
As the future successor of the Chapman group, the thing that he had to address was not only the competitors who were malicious towards him and the group but also the pressure of the competition inside his family.
Over the years, he was attacked and assassinated frequently.
He had been used to it for a long time.
“Rest even if you are fine.”
Lottie pursed her lips, held the document in her arms, turned her head, and left, “I’ll bring this with me when I go to buy the breakfast.”
With a bang sound, the door closed.
Lottie really went to buy breakfast with Ralph’s documents.
Sean looked at the closed door and said, “Mr. Chapman, do you want me to catch up with Mrs. Chapman and get the documents back?”
Ralph closed his eyes, “No.”
“Since she wants to take it, let her go.”
Sean was speechless.
He tried to remind Ralph, “Mr. Chapman, those documents are the financial statements of the water park for the last year. Those are the most secret documents…”
Mrs. Chapman just thought they were ordinary documents and took them out when she went to the breakfast shop to buy breakfast…
Sean thought, ‘Isn’t it a little disrespectful to the confidentiality of these documents?’
“Do you think…”
Ralph spoke in a light voice, “Do you think people will find they are secret documents even if such an innocent and pure woman goes there to buy breakfast with those documents like that?”
Sean was speechless again.
…
After buying breakfast, Lottie just put the financial statement documents into the bag that was used to carry the buns.
On the way back to the hotel after buying breakfast, she saw the little girl she met in the mall yesterday.
Today, she changed into a cherry-pink traditional dress with her hair tied up in a bun. She looked like a little girl from a rich family in ancient times.
At that moment, she was led out of the hotel by a woman who looked like a nanny.
As soon as the little girl looked up, she saw Lottie coming in.
“Beautiful Miss!”
The little girl let go of the nanny’s hand and ran quickly with her short legs, “You live here too!”
“We are really destined to meet!”
Lottie smiled and nodded, “We really are.”
“My name is Stella.”
“Beautiful Miss, what’s your name?”
Looking at the little girl’s smooth and adorable face, Lottie felt like her heart was melting.
She squatted down and took out a small bun from her pocket and gave it to her, “My name is Lottie Green.”
“We may be a family in the future!”
Stella took the bun from Lottie, “Miss Green, in order to thank you for your gift, I’ll treat you for breakfast!”
“I can ask Mr. Barton to have breakfast with you!”
“Mr. Barton is very handsome. You will like him for sure, Lottie!”
Lottie thought Stella was funny.
She thought to herself, ‘Is this little girl trying to find a boyfriend for her?’
Lottie had no choice but to smile, “Next time.”
“I am going to have breakfast with my husband, so thank you.”
The light in the little girl’s eyes faded gradually.
“Miss Green is married…”
“My little lady!”
At this time, the nanny rushed towards them and grabbed Stella’s arm, “Don’t run away…”
“Goodbye, little Stella!”
Lottie stood up, farewelled the little girl, and left.
Stella looked in the direction Lottie left, and she felt so wronged that she almost teared up.
She finally met a lady whom she liked!
But she was married!
“My lady.”
The nanny frowned as she looked at the bun in her hand. “Let’s throw this away, okay?”
“Mr. Barton warned that you can’t eat anything given by strangers…”
“I won’t!”
Stella raised her hand and wiped her tears. “My plan to find a new mother has failed. I’m going to eat this sad bun!”
She said that as she lowered her head and bit the bun hard.
Stella thought, ‘Oh, it is quite delicious.’
“Judy, I want another bun. Go and buy some for me!”
“No, I want ten of them!”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
…
When Lottie came back to the room, Ralph had already dressed up and sat on the sofa waiting for her.
It seemed that Ralph had really got used to such things. At least he had recovered so fast.
It was real that Ralph came back yesterday with a pale face. He even fainted.
But this morning, Ralph could just sit on the sofa with a healthy spirit. She couldn’t see any trace of injury on his expression.
Lottie put the breakfast on the tea table.
In the end, she handed the documents to Ralph, “Here you are.”
Ralph lightly handed the documents to Sean, “Keep it.”
Sean took the documents and smelled the scent of the meat buns. He even didn’t know what kind of feeling he should have now.
Those secret documents now smelt like buns!
When they were halfway done with the breakfast, Lottie’s phone rang.
It was Connie’s call.
“Lottie, where have you been?”
“Why can’t I see you when I woke up in the morning?”
Lottie stood up and explained to Connie as she walked, “Ralph was injured. I came to take care of him last night.”
Connie was silent for a while, “Can you come back on time?”
“We are going to the water park at eight o’clock…”
Connie hadn’t even finished her words, while Lottie had already pushed the door and came in.
Connie was totally shocked when Lottie smiled and said, “I guess I can.”
Connie was speechless.
“Why did Mr. Chapman live next door to us?”
Lottie smiled, “Probably, he did it for his wife.”
Connie, who suddenly felt that her friend was showing affection to her, couldn’t speak a word.
“Those who like to show affection are so annoying!”
