Ch. 1021..1030

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1021

His threatening aura was so overpowering that it frightened the others, causing them to freeze on the spot.

Not long after he left, Margaret returned to her senses and howled, "Where have I gone wrong?!"

"Mom, don't cry! He's just an ungrateful child, and you know that.He doesn’t even look like a Russell! He's always been so distant from us! "I've said since the beginning that this family could not be handed over to him, but Dad wouldn't listen! Look at him now! He doesn't even care about you!"

Every single word Ralph uttered struck Margaret's heart like an arrow.She hated it, but there was nothing she could do.

When Hugo was still alive, they argued about this many times.She wanted to entrust the family to their youngest son.

There was no reason for Hugo to skip his son and give it directly to their grandson.

However, Hugo was stubborn.

After all, he was the head of the household.

Once he had decided that Alexander would take over, he kept his promise until his deathbed, and then Alexander was put in charge of the Russell family.

Margaret thought at first that Alexander would still be cautious of her because she was his grandmother, and that this would make him nervous.

However, Alexander was hard -headed.He did not care about what other people thought of him.He would only be slightly more scrupulous and polite to her when Hugo was mentioned.

Now, even Hugo's name could not threaten Alexander.He even said that he would not hold back! Could it be that he might drive her out of the Russell family? Thinking of this, Margaret trembled with anger.

Celine finally stepped in and softly said, "I actually agree with what Ralph said."

"Huh?"

For a moment, Ralph had forgotten about what he had just blurted out.

"That he doesn't look like one of us."

She paused, then walked over to Margaret's side, whispering, "To be honest, I used to think that he wasn't our biological nephew when he was younger.I can't say he doesn't look like Patrick, but he's not exactly a replica of him, either.

"As for his temperament, they're on opposite ends of the spectrum! Patrick is such a generous person.He has always been docile and honest.Alexander is nothing like him at all!"

Celine's words caused the gears in Margaret's mind to turn as she bowed her head in thought.

"It's all because of his wretched mother!"

Ralph spat bitterly.

"Patrick played a role in this, as well! He wouldn't listen to you and insisted on marrying that woman.He brought a scourge into our family.Look at how harmonious our family used to be and what we've become over the years! Who knows, maybe that woman killed Nigel and Tyson as well!"

As soon as this was mentioned, Margaret's face darkened, and she scolded in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Despite what her mouth was saying, doubts began forming in her eyes.

She had actually thought about this before.

The deaths of her grandsons constantly lingered in her mind.

She was heartbroken, and all she could do was pour all her love into her youngest son.She had thought that their deaths were suspicious, but because when Hugo was still alive, he insisted that there was nothing suspicious after investigating the matter.

It was all accidental.

Even though she did not believe him, she did not dare rebuke her husband.

Therefore, she quietly watched the old man getting haggard, day by day.

The past had been brought up again, making her feel choked up and overwhelmed.

"Even if she wasn't the one who killed them, nothing good has happened to our family since that woman came.

Now, it seems like Alex has secrets to hide.

After so many years, none of us knew he could kickbox so well! Who knew what Dad had fed him and if Dad had given him anything else?"

Celine had said all this softly and unhurriedly, but everything she said was starting to make sense.

Margaret hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't think so! Although your father favors him, he has never hidden anything from me, which is something I’m grateful for."

"I suppose you can say that, but did you know that Alex knows kickboxing? He even managed to hurt Heather, who had defeated countless elite kickboxers.Who did he learn kickboxing from? Has Dad ever told you?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1022

Similarly, Celine's words had also gotten to Ralph.

"Mom, can it be that the brat, Alexander, isn't a Russell at all?"

"Why are you saying such nonsense?"

Margaret slapped his arms and glowered, "Can you stop questioning our bloodline?"

He had been slapped, but from the force of the slap, he knew she was not angry.

Therefore, he continued, "Did I say anything wrong? Who knows where Patrick met her?

"They got married behind our backs, and she was already pregnant when he brought her to the house.Maybe she's not even pregnant with Patrick's son! Patrick had always been such a kind soul.He couldn’t have known about it, or maybe he did, but he was just too soft-hearted and protected her.Whatever it is, we don't have any proof right now!"

Ralph suddenly had an idea and said, "How about...we run a DNA test?!"

"How? Your eldest brother has been gone for years, and that woman..."

Margaret sighed.She was exhausted.

"Mom, with the technology now, you don't need to test the DNA against your parents' DNA.Even grandparents would work.What if ...I'm just saying, what if he's not a Russell? Are we going to let an outsider control our family like this? Dad would not have tolerated it if he was around!"

If Margaret was hesitant just now, whatever Celine had said seemed to have changed her mind.

Celine was right.

If Alexander were not born from the Russell bloodline, his threat of kicking them out of the family would be empty words.He would have no control over the Russell family.

Why should he threaten the family as an outsider? He showed no respect to Margaret.She did not want to acknowledge this grandson of hers.

"How do we do it?"

"It's easy!" Celine said calmly, "Mom, leave it to me.Don't worry.I'll take care of this!"

"Don't let Alex know about this before the results come out!"

Margaret expressed her concern after considering it.

"Of course!"

Upon saying that, Celine straightened up and walked out with a smile.

Margaret turned to look at Ralph and said, "About Ms.Riggs, the only thing you can do is comfort her.You should set a date for your wedding as soon as possible.What do you think?"

Judging from the current situation, the Russell family might have a lot of turmoil coming up.

If Ralph were to marry into the Riggs family and have their support, it would be a bit more of a help as his status would be more secure.

Otherwise...

Ralph nodded and said, "Of course! I'll talk to her about it!"

Although he said that aloud, there was still uncertainty in his heart, as that woman was tough to deal with.

His arms still ached, even now.

Every time he moved, he would be reminded of her fierce eyes.

‘D*mn it!’

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1023

Heather naturally did not hope for Ralph to help her get some justice.She was more concerned about where Alexander had learned kickboxing and what kind of secret handbooks he hid.

After practicing kickboxing for many years, she suddenly felt that everything she learned was all a fraud.

Thinking about it was driving her crazy.

Although she was injured, she could not wait any longer and hurriedly asked someone to find out where Alexander got sent to when he was a child.

The company's affairs had been put on hold recently as all focus was on finding the handbook.

Heather’s assistant even took all the company’s calls.

Albeit, there were still things she would have to deal with personally, She let out a few coughs as she was about to get up.

Her chest felt stuffy and painful.

She had no idea how much strength Alexander had used in their fight, but because she had pushed herself too hard, the injuries she had sustained were more severe.

When she fought Lily, although she did not scathe her, she felt that Lily was not her equal.

However, Heather thought about it and wondered if Lily had fought seriously or if her pregnancy had affected her.

Initially, she thought if her first plan did not work, she would stop beating around the bush, but it seemed she had to scratch that idea too.

If Lily was already difficult to deal with, what more was there to say about Alexander? With those thoughts in mind, Heather frowned.

She had no intention of dealing with the company's affairs, but the call seemed urgent.

When she picked it up, she yelled irritably into the phone, "What's the point of paying you if you can't handle these little things?!"

Then she smashed the phone to the ground, and the screen shattered.

Heather calmed down a lot after venting her anger.She also understood that it was not her assistant's fault.

After all, there were documents that only Heather could sign.She restricted the people who could come over to keep her secret hidden.

'Secret...' Thinking of this, she called out, "Someone, bring that woman over!"

Soon, Hannah came in with her head lowered.

She seemed a little thinner as she stood there without saying a word.

Due to Heather’s initial anger, she shot an angry look at Hannah.

Although Heather did not like her very much, there was still some use to raising Hannah.

Hannah had previously dealt with some of the company's businesses and occasionally went to the company to get used to the surroundings.

In the beginning, Heather only did it to try and see if the employees would notice the difference.

Later, when she realized no one noticed, she became bolder and would even send Hannah for various occasions instead of going there herself.

However, Hannah was not allowed to go to significant events for fear of revealing her true identity.

At this moment, Heather was glad she did not send her sister home.

"Go to the company!"

"Now?"

Hannah raised her head and asked with a surprised expression.

"Are you going to discuss time with me now?"

Although Hannah had just asked her sister a simple question, it annoyed Heather.She did not like Hannah questioning her.

Ultimately, Hannah could only obey her orders.

"No, of course not."

Hannah shook her head before lowering it again.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1025

Hannah's parents had no attainments of learning kickboxing.

Instead, they were more focused on business.

Not only did their business grow into what it was today, but they also maintained it reasonably well.

Coupled with what their ancestors had done, they had shares in various industries.

They had just expanded their branch to Kingsland in recent years.

They had initially planned to make Kingsland their headquarters and develop it here.

That was why Heather had no interest in business and was always impatient when it came to it.

She had no choice but to deal with the affairs that came along with it patiently.

To certain extent, Hannah knew a little more about businesses than Heather did.

Although Hannah would occasionally sign things, she did not do it perfunctorily.

She would always carefully look through the project details and occasionally point out some mistakes and inadequacies.

However, Heather had never allowed her to attend any necessary meetings for fear of getting caught by the senior directors.

When Hannah got out of the car, her gaze turned cold, and every word from her mouth sounded solemn.

Her aura was domineering.

She encapsulated how Heather was, and most could not tell the difference.She strode to the building, and as soon as she walked in, people bowed their heads to greet her.

"Ms.Riggs, Ms.Riggs..."

Without sparing a second glance, she walked straight into her office.

Heather's assistant, Chloe, immediately came in with a pile of things.

"Ms.Riggs, these are all the documents you need to sign.As for this one, please look through what you and Mr.Brey discussed the other day.We can't delay this new project any longer.I hope you can give me an answer by today."

As she explained, she began to lay everything on the table.

Hannah stared at the documents with a frown before she glanced at Chloe again.

Chloe was Heather’s assistant but was none the wiser that the person before her was not the "Ms.Riggs" she knew.

Although Chloe dressed in formal wear, she had it tailored to look professional and sexy.

Hannah thought, 'Even an assistant can do whatever she wants, yet I'm my sister's shadow.' "Ms.Riggs? Ms.Riggs?"

Chloe probably noticed "Heather" was not listening and called out twice before cautiously asking, "Did you...not get a good rest? Maybe you can rest first and talk about this later?"

"It's fine.Just leave everything here.You can leave,"

Hannah waved lightly.

Chloe hesitated for a moment before she backed out and closed the office door behind her.

When Chloe left, Hannah had time to her thoughts for a few minutes before she began working.

With a pen in her hand, she flipped through the documents and signed them once she saw nothing wrong.

However, she signed them all under Heather's name.

More than two hours had passed before she knew it, and she had finally finished going through the files before her.

Then she turned on the computer and checked Heather’s email to see if she could handle anything else.

Heather initially did not allow Hannah to use her computer, but when she later found many things in there and that Hannah new how to handle them, Heather slowly threw everything at Hannah once she got annoyed.

Another hour passed before Hannah cleaned out Heather’s email.

By then, the sky was already dark.

She stood up and stretched her arms, feeling slightly tired but content.

Hannah observed the world from above in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

The sun was setting in the sky, and the street was bustling with traffic.

She watched the lights flicker in the houses below, and a foreign feeling bubbled in her chest.

Heather knew she did not belong to this world as her world was limited to the basement’s four square walls.She would never get to see the light.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1024

It was just moments ago Heather told Hannah to go home, but now, Heather wanted her to go to the company instead.It seemed Heather had quickly changed her mind.

"Good to know.Remember, I raised you.You must do whatever I tell you to.You're just my shadow.Do you understand?"

Heather emphasized for the thousandth time.She wanted to drill it into Hannah's head.

Hannah knew she should not forget her roots and not have any intention of overstepping.

"Yes, I understand! I am your shadow, and I exist only for you," she repeated mechanically.

Her meekness immediately calmed Heather down as she replied with satisfaction, "There are some documents to process back at the company.Chloe will guide you on where to sign.You don't have to talk much and ensure you come right back after signing them.It's not your first time there, so you should know not to talk too much.Understand?"

"Yes! "

After nodding, Heather waved, indicating Hannah to leave before she laid down again.She needed two days to recuperate while the spies she sent got to work.

By the time she healed, she would get the information she needed.

Alexander's kickboxing skills were so powerful.

Once she got the handbook, she would be better than him due to her aptitude and years of practice.

By then, she would be truly unbeatable.

At that time, she would revive the prestigious art of kickboxing and let people know what real kickboxing was.

On the other end, Hannah had just gotten into the car and was on her way to the company.

She wore what Heather would wear precisely, and even the driver did not realize she was a different person.

Besides a few people, no one knew Heather had a twin sister.

Everyone thought there was only one, Ms.Riggs, all this while.

She looked at her face carefully in the mirror.Her complexion was not as pale as usual, as she had some makeup.

The cool-toned makeup made her look colder and fiercer.

That was Heather's makeup style.

On the other hand, Hannah preferred warm-toned makeup.

However, Hannah could never have her own style and would always have to go with whatever Heather had decided for her.

It was not as if she was complacent; she was powerless.

After all, Heather was so strong that even their parents would listen to her.

No one could go against her will.

Hannah's thoughts drifted back to when they were children as she sat in the car.

At that time, she was still receiving gifts from her parents.

Heather would get a custom-made kickboxing uniform, while she got a lace ball gown.

That was the happiest birthday of Hannah’s life.

However, that night, she found that her beautiful ball gown was tattered, and its embellishments were scattered everywhere.

Then she noticed Heather standing by the door, watching her cry.

"You're so different from me, others might notice.Today onward, you must wear whatever I wear and like whatever I like.You're my shadow! You'll have to look just like me!"

That night, Hannah hugged her torn dress and cried the whole night.

However, she dared not object.She could not beat her slightly older twin.

Even her parents were more inclined toward Heather.

After all, she would be the heir of the Riggs family in the future.

They had high hopes for her to make the Riggs family prosperous.

From then on, Hannah started to lose her sense of self.

She was no longer Hannah Riggs—instead, she had become Heather's shadow.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1026

She was only allowed out when her sister needed her to.

Therefore, to a certain extent, she liked that Heather was preoccupied and busy.She rarely had any free time like this, and she had not really thought about her future.She was not even sure if she would have one.

"Beep!"

The intercom rang, and Chloe's voice came through.

"Ms.Riggs, Mr.Russell is here to see you.However, he doesn't have an appointment scheduled.He..."

‘Mr.Russell?! Hannah's heart skipped a beat, and a face flashed across her mind.She quickly shook her head to shake the thought away.

Initially, she was a little hopeful, but now, there was no chance that Ralph would show up here.

There were millions of people with the same surname out here.

Regardless, she had no right to decide whether she wanted to see him.

The door swung open just as she was about to make a phone call to her sister.

At the door, Ralph stood there with an indifferent look while Chloe, who had failed to stop him from coming in, stood beside him.

"Ms.Riggs, he insisted on coming in even though I tried to stop him!"

"Do you know who I am? I'm Ms.Riggs’s fiance! Why would I need to schedule an appointment to meet her? How horrible," he grumbled.

Although he sounded nonchalant, he still secretly stole a glance from the corner of his eyes.

After all, he was still afraid of Heather.

His arm still hurt a little, although it wasn't as painful as it was before.

However, this little pain continued to remind him how unpredictable this woman was and that he must never provoke her again.

Albeit, he urgently needed the Riggs family's support.

This company, among other things, was something he desperately needed.

Although it wasn't as grand or as primely located as the Russell family's company, it was still relatively big.

Moreover, this was one of the new branches of the Riggs Group.

If he managed to control this branch, he would have enough capital to compete with Alexander.

Therefore, no matter how fearful he was, he still had to come.He had to talk to her about the date of their marriage.

Hannah looked at him calmly, but her beating heart betrayed her initial joy.

Chloe was still talking.

'No matter who you are, you can't..."

"Let him in!"

Hannah interrupted her.

"Go and make Mr.Russell a cup of coffee."

Her attitude was indifferent as well, remaining calm.

After all, she had to remember that she was roleplaying as Heather.

When Hannah was out, she would remind herself from time to time, and sometimes it became instinctive.

"Okay."

Chloe did not argue further once she received the order.

Although she did not like this impetuous guy, she left and made coffee for him.

Seeing how he managed to get in without much fuss, Ralph did not get angry.

Although Hannah had put up a cold front, he would much rather prefer this than to be faced with a woman smiling one second and trying to break his arm the next.

Then, he took two steps forward and said, "Heather, don't get me wrong! I wasn't trying to intrude.I tried to call you, but I couldn't reach your phone.Later, I heard your car came by the company, so I assumed you must be working.That's why I came over to see you.Am I...bothering you?"

When he looked up, he saw a stack of documents piled up on her desk.

This business was not small at all.

Soon, this company would be his, and all of the properties of the Riggs family would belong to him.How wonderful!

Hannah did not move.

Instead, she just stood there staring at him intensely, trying to decipher his thoughts.

With her like this, Ralph did not dare to move any closer and remained where he was.He was afraid that her mood would suddenly change, and she would try to make a move on him.He couldn't suffer another attack.He looked up and realized that her complexion seemed much better after putting on some makeup.

She wasn't as pale as before and seemed to have recovered a lot.

"Heather, are you okay? Are your injuries better?" He asked cautiously, showing his concern.

This should be the right move.It would not anger her, right? However, Ralph was wrong! Hannah's heart was restless as she continued to look at him.She had not seen him for days.She had lost the chance to meet him since her sister moved into the Russell Estate a few days ago.

Her heart yearned for him, and it grew stronger as days passed.

She had never experienced how it felt to miss someone like this.She had never missed her parents as much, not even when she had been far from them for a long time.

At this moment, all she wanted to do was run toward him and throw herself into his arms.

Then she quickly remembered who she was and held herself back.

As Heather, she had to remain calm and composed.

Therefore, she remained where she was without moving or saying a word.

However, Ralph's words reminded her that his concern was not for her but for her sister, Heather.

Seeing that her sister was injured, he must have been worried.

That was why he came over to the company to visit her.

The concern in his eyes was also for her sister and not for Hannah.

No matter how excited she was and how much she missed him, Heather was the person on his mind.

He did not even know Hannah existed.Her eyes darkened, and she said in a low voice, "It's none of your business."

Ralph was speechless! He pursed his lips in shock.

He didn't make the right move after all! This woman was so difficult to deal with that he could not even show concern for her! Just then, Chloe brought in a cup of coffee, which released the tension momentarily.

He took the coffee from her and waved her away dismissively.

Chloe glanced at Hannah, saw that she was not even looking at her, and retreated.

Then there were only two people left in the room again.

Holding up the coffee, Ralph took a sip unhurriedly.

''Mm, this tastes great.Your company has excellent coffee.It's even better than the one at home.Where did you get the coffee beans from?"

"No idea," Hannah replied coldly.

She had not been to the company that often, and every time she came, it was to help her sister settle some documents.She had always come and gone in a hurry.She wasn't interested in trying the coffee either.

To her, coffee was what her sister liked.

She preferred green tea, which had a bitter tinge but a sweet aftertaste.She occasionally imagined her life as a cup of green tea when her thoughts would stray.

It was just that she had no idea when the sweet aftertaste would come.

Thinking about this made her laugh.It was very whimsical of her! At this moment, Ralph, who had been cut off twice, did not dare to speak again.It seemed that everything he said was wrong and that she was in a bad mood.

Therefore, he took his coffee and sat on the furthest end of the sofa, afraid she might do something.

Here, even if she attempted to pounce on him, he would still have the chance to escape.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1028

He glanced toward the door and decided it was not too far away.He could get up and run if she wanted to make a move.

If he spilled the coffee, it would buy him some time.

Thinking of this, he looked down at the coffee in his hand and stopped drinking it.

Instead, he just sat there with the cup in his hand.

Seeing how he had moved further away, Hannah's mood worsened as she snapped sarcastically, "Do you hate me that much?"

"Huh? uh..."

Ralph was taken aback by her sudden question and quickly shook his head.

"No! How can I hate you? I have nothing but love for you.W-Why would you ask such a question? "I'm just worried about your well-being, so I stopped by to see you if you feel any pain or discomfort.That's what I asked you.You...y-y-you..."

He began to stutter as he watched this terrifying woman striding toward him.

Was she going to do it again? He began to panic, thinking about what he had said wrong.He had no ideal! "I-I suddenly remembered something!"

He pretended to hold the cup unsteadily and spilled the coffee.

Then he was ready to run.

‘‘Ah! "

Hannah was caught off guard as the coffee was splattered all over her.Her reflexes were not as good as Heather's.

Although Hannah did learn some self-defense skills, she was far behind her sister.

Therefore, she would always have bodyguards following her in the dark when she went out.

After all, Heather's reputation would have people coming over to challenge her without warning.

Later on, the people that would come became fewer.

Hannah tried to avoid the spill, but it still splashed onto her clothing.

As soon as he heard her cry, Ralph stopped and turned to look at her, catching her in a vulnerable situation.

‘I'm dead! I'm dead!' Sweat began to form on his forehead as he looked at her soiled clothes.

He didn't manage to run away and even ruined her clothes.

She must be furious! Would she break his hands and feet this time? He became even more nervous when he thought of this.

He stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes.

For some reason, his gaze kept dropping to her lips.

In such a critical situation, it was instinctive for emotions to kick in.

He suddenly recalled that the only few times that the woman was gentle was after they kissed...

Before he could think any further, he went forward and pressed his lips directly on hers! At this moment, Hannah's mind went blank.

She wanted to get closer to him at first, but he got up and ran away.

He even splashed coffee on her.

Although she wasn't hurt, her clothes had been dirtied, making her furious.

Just as she opened her mouth to speak, he took advantage of this moment and pounced on her.

The way he moved was skillful, as their movements synced.

Her lips were soft, and they felt better than before.

It felt like he was kissing her for the first time! Ralph couldn't explain why it felt different each time he kissed her.

The first time they kissed, she was gentle, pleasant, obedient, and docile.

He enjoyed it, and it felt good.

However, the following few times, especially at home, she was fiery, dominant, and harsh.

It was thrilling.

Her kisses were hot and cold.

He couldn't tell which one he preferred, but after what had happened, he seemed to enjoy these gentle yet delightful moments! The most important thing was that her whole body had now softened into him.

She seemed to be his well-behaved, docile little sheep again.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1029

Ralph’s kiss sent Hanny into a faze, and she did not push him away even after returning to her senses.It was probably because this was what she yearned for.

She missed this man crazily, and all she wanted was to be with him.

Therefore, she did not refuse Ralph’s kiss and even leaned in to kiss him back.

When Ralph felt her response, happiness washed over him.

She was not as rough and brutal as she was before.

This time, her kisses were shy, like any woman.

In an instant, he had forgotten all his fears and picked her up, pressing her on the sofa.

Hannah felt her head spin.

Their kiss felt wonderful, and she had never experienced anything like it.

While Ralph had forgotten his fears, Hannah had let go of all her troubles.

She allowed him to kiss her lips, face, and neck, then even let him put his hands into her clothes.

However, Hannah snapped back into reality and pushed him away as soon as his fingers touched her skin.

"Ouch!"

Ralph was unprepared as Hannah threw him off, causing him to roll onto the ground.

"Gah!"

Although he had fallen, it did not hurt.He could feel that "Heather" did not exert as much force as she did when she twisted his arm. He sat on the ground and looked at her.

She was indeed one moody woman.

One second she was fine, and the next, she was gloomy.It was too much for Ralph.

"Are you okay?"

Hannah blurted out nervously when she heard his cry of pain.

However, she immediately felt it did not match the image she portrayed and coldly continued, "We're at the office!"

She glanced at the window.

Thankfully, she had drawn the curtains beforehand to avoid prying eyes.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed she could not look out, nor could people stare in.

Hannah had almost let herself go but suddenly pulled herself back into reality when she saw Heather's photo.

After all, she was in Heather's office.

One could tell how conceited and narcissistic Heather was by looking at all the photos she hung of herself in the office.

Hannah felt nervous when faced with even these photos.

It was like Heather was Staring straight at her, and Hannah could not let her interactions with Ralph continue.

Ralph, who was on the ground, seemed to misinterpret her words.

' We're at the office? Does that mean that we’re in the wrong place? Does she mean we can continue this somewhere else?’ With that thought in mind, he saw it as an invitation.

Sure enough, that cold front was a fake, and "Heather" seemed very inviting.

At least, that was what her body's reaction seemed to convey.

"I'm sorry I overstepped!"

He apologized chivalrously.

Then he stood up and patted himself.

"I just missed you.I love you so much.My emotions got the better of me just now.I'm sorry if I offended you.

"However, I must tell you that I genuinely like you.I love you.Not just because you're the daughter of the Riggs family, but because of who you are!"

Hannah's eyes twitched when she heard that he "loved her so much " and she raised her eyes to look at him.

"Really?"

"Of course! Heather, I love you.I've never loved a woman like this before!"

Ralph squatted in front of her and exclaimed sincerely.

These types of cheap talks came quickly to Ralph.He did not even have to think.His eyes looked sincere, and no one could see through his pretense.

On the other hand, Hannah was moved by what he said.

However, when she heard him mention "Heather," it was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water onto her.

Hannah knew she could not tell him that she was not Heather and did not want to keep hearing Heather's name from the man she liked.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 1030

"From now on, don't call me Heather!" Hannah yelled.

"Oh? Why? Do you not like it? What should I call you then?"

Ralph blinked and asked in confusion.

However, she did not answer him—instead, she continued to look at him as if she was testing him.

Ralph thought about it carefully before he suddenly remembered what she had said.

"Annie?"

"Mhm."

Hannah's expression softened when she heard Ralph call her by her nickname, and a twinkle appeared in her eyes.Her whole body seemed to have softened as well.She liked it when he called her by that name.

It had a better ring than "Heather." Then something popped up in her mind, and she asked, "Have you called me that before?"

"Before? What do you mean?"

Ralph looked bewildered.

‘Does she not know if I’ve called her by her nickname before? Why is she asking me that?’ Hannah thought for a moment and quickly rephrased her words, "I mean when I stayed at your house the past few days.I don't recall whether you've called me that before."

Ralph carefully recalled the past few days and shook his head.

"No, I don't think so.Didn't you say I can't call you that unless you tell me to?"

"Hmm! You're obedient!"

She nodded in satisfaction.

That was great since she did not want her sister to find out about her little secret.

However, it was all wishful thinking for Hannah to hope Ralph would one day call her by her real name.She was not even worthy of being known by other people.

"Shall we..."

After a pause, Ralph recollected his thoughts and said, "You must be hungry.Shall I treat you to dinner?"

Hannah was supposed to go back right after handling the documents.

Now that he was here, she did not want to.She did not want to be locked in that basement as soon as she returned.She did not want to live in darkness again.

Heather had even mentioned that she wanted to send Hannah back to their home.

If Heather suddenly changed her mind, today might be Hannah's last day here.She could not bear the thought of it.

With that in mind, she nodded.

"Okay!"

Hannah wanted to feed her selfish needs today.She wanted just one more meal with him since she still had some time left.She could come up with an excuse, and no matter how badly Heather scolded her, she knew Heather would not kill her.

Hannah would risk it all for this short-lived happiness.

Therefore, she changed her clothes and told Celine to take away the signed documents.

After explaining the matter at hand, she followed Ralph out.

"Should we use your car or mine?"

Initially, Ralph wanted to be a gentleman and offered to use his car.

However, this young lady was not just any woman.Her logic was out of this world.

To be safe, he checked with her.

"Yours.I'm a little tired.I don't want to drive, and I don't want anyone else around," Hannah said as she rubbed her temples with her hand.

‘Does this mean we’re going on a date?!’ Ralph was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay! I'll drive! You can rest in the car for a while, and we'll go eat some good food so I can make it up to you.”
