Ch. 961..970
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 961
"N-No, no, no.We’re not."
Hannah waved her hand and looked toward Ralph.
"I don’t like diamond rings."
Her words stunned him, and after looking at her for a moment, he finally came to his senses.
"Oh right! You practice kickboxing..."
He paused and looked at the sales advisor before he agreed, "It’s indeed not that suitable."
"What about a necklace then? We can get a diamond necklace for you too." he continued.
The sales advisor was smiling from ear to ear.
"We just received several diamond necklaces of the season and it fits your style well.Would you like to try it?"
"I actually don’t like diamonds," she whispered.
To Hannah, diamonds were merely stones, and they held no value to her.
In fact, she liked the pearl bracelet, but it made her uncomfortable wearing it because Ralph actually bought it for Heather, and not her.
"What do you like then?" Ralph asked patiently.
"I..."
She did not know what she liked as well.
Since she was younger, she did not have the right to choose the things she liked.She glanced around the store and finally, her gaze landed on a section of the counter.
Following the direction of her gaze, Ralph came to realize something.
"You like earrings, don’t you?"
"I don’t.I'm just looking around."
Subconsciously, she rubbed her earlobe.
How would she be able to wear them? She did not even have pierced ears.
The sales advisor seemed to have noticed her concern and said, "
The earrings these days have the classic type for pierced ears, as well as the clip-on type as well.
You don’t need to have pierced ears to wear them."
"Really?"
Hannah asked in surprise.
Smiling, the sales advisor nodded and then took two pairs of earrings for her from underneath the counter.
"This is the clip-on type.You may try it and see if it is to your liking."
The earrings were clip-on types, and they were even pearl earrings which she liked.It was pretty and she could not stop looking at them in the mirror.
Ralph could tell that she liked them.
"Let’s get it if you like them, but...they’re kinda cheap."
"That’s good!"
Hannah did not understand why they must purchase the expensive ones.
The most important thing was her liking it, right? He did not expect to hear such words from Hannah and it made him overjoyed.
Initially, he thought that he would need to spend a huge sum of money, but he did not expect her to be so easily satisfied.
‘She sure doesn’t ask for much"
Seeing her gesturing in front of the mirror, cautiously putting the earrings next to her ears but not daring to wear them made him smile, thinking that it was a little hilarious.
"I'll check out the clip-on pear! earrings for you, shall I?" the sales advisor asked, knowing how to read the room.
"Hold on."
Ralph’s gaze averted upward as a thought popped up in his head.
"Could she get her ears pierced here?"
The sales advisor was stunned for a moment before she responded quickly, "Yes, of course.
You can get your ears pierced for free if you purchase any earrings from our collection.
"I don't want to pierce my ears,"
Hannah mumbled out of fear of pain.
"There are more selections of earrings if you have pierced ears.I can buy you more earrings in the future too.Do you like any other types of jewelry, or do you only like earrings? The clip-on types don’t seem too great though.Look at your ears, they’re already red.If you needed to put them on for a long time, they might fall off in the process, or even become broken."
Then, he proceeded to persuade her in a soft voice, "Piercing ears are painless now and it won’t hurt too much.Trust me on this.Your earlobes are going to be even prettier once you have them pierced!"
The sales advisor did not understand what he meant in the first place, but once she came to realize it, she agreed immediately, "Ma’am, he’s right.In fact, it’s not going to hurt at all, and you'll have more choices of earrings when you have your ears pierced.Your ears will be permanently pierced and you can get them done for free at our store."
Hannah did not know what to say.She was not well-versed in speaking and with two people persuading her, she did not know how to refuse them.Yes, she was afraid that it would hurt, but they assured her that it would not.
Plus...she liked earrings.
"It's fine if you’re unwilling to do that, but I’d like to see you with pierced ears and wearing the earrings that I buy for you."
Ralph’s gaze was fixed on her earlobes, and Hannah realized that her ears had turned warm unknowingly.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 962
His gaze was so fiery that it seemed to warmed her ears.
While covering her ears, she said, "Okay then.I'll have them pierced!"
Ralph grinned, delighted to hear that.
"Heather, you’re the best!"
Hannah just stayed silent as the sales advisor brought her to a small cubicle at the side.
In that room, there was a tool that was specially used to pierce one’s ears.
In fact, the whole process was quick and did not hurt as much as Hannah thought it would, but it still stung a little.
It was hard for Ralph to believe that a woman who practiced kickboxing all year long and who was tougher than many men would be afraid of getting her ears pierced, as shown by the frown on her face.
There was an indescribable sense of satisfaction in Ralph's heart at the sight.
Initially, he did not care about the type of earrings Hannah wanted to get, but the moment the sales advisor wanted to check out the item, he suddenly had an idea.
If he managed to convince her to get her ears pierced, it meant that she did it for him.
‘Heather, the head of the Riggs family, had her ears pierced for me.To put it simply, she bled for me.This is such a proud moment for me.In other words, I'm different to her compared to the other men because she is willing to do this for me"
That was just a random thought of his.He brought it up, and she complied with it, which assured him that she liked him.
After getting her ears pierced, the sales advisor quickly helped her put on the earrings she liked.
"This is anti-allergic, so you can wear it without any concern.
Just remember not to remove it in the next few days and allow some time for the piercing to heal first."
"Okay."
Heather nodded.
Ralph paid for the bill, and they exited through the door happily.
Before that, the sales advisor even praised him, "Sir, your girlfriend is beautiful!"
"She’s my fiancée," Ralph said proudly as he turned to look into Hannah’s eyes.
It made her cheeks turn red instantly.
She quickly lowered her head, but she could not stop herself from smiling.
‘I’m so happy.I don’t think I’ve been this happy before.He had been looking at me the whole time, and it feels like I’m his whole world.He would buy me meals and gifts, and ask me what I like in a gentle voice"
Hannah had never been treated so well by anyone in the past, and at this moment, she felt that she was finally seen after hiding in the dark for so many years.She understood that she was only here as Heather and that this was temporary.
Everything would be the same again soon after this was over.
"Heather, are you tired? Do you want to get some drinks?"
"Heather, do you want to shop for clothes? Let’s go take a look, shall we?"
"Heather..."
Although Hannah was elated at the moment, the way Ralph addressed her affected her mood one time after another.
It constantly reminded her that she was only an imposter and that he was not calling for her at all!
"You..."
Hannah turned to face him, hesitant to speak.
"Yeah?"
"Could you not call me that?" she asked softly, and it was the first time she tried to express her opinion.
"What way? You mean I can’t call your name?" Ralph was puzzled.
‘ Is she mad again?’
"No, I mean to say you can… call me Annie. Can you do that?"
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 963
"Annie?"
Puzzled, Ralph repeated.
"Yeah!"
Afraid that he would be mistaken again, Hannah quickly explained, "When we go out on dates in the future, could you call me Annie?"
"Is...Annie your nickname?" he asked while thinking, ‘This is weird.I’ve never heard that Heather had any nicknames in the past.Plus, where did that nickname come from?’ She looked so excited, so Ralph just agreed to her request.
"Sure."
His answer made Hannah happy, and her cheeks were red, but she thought of something suddenly.
"Don’t call me Annie all the time too.I might not like it sometimes."
"Huh?" Ralph frowned.He was even more puzzled now.
‘What does she even mean?’ Ralph knew that she had a weird temper, but he did not expect her to be this weird.
She wanted him to address her as Annie sometimes only, and he had to call her something else on some other days.
"Do you dislike...how weird I am?" Hannah asked cautiously.
She did not want to do this, but her little secret would be exposed if he called Heather in such a way one day.
"No!" Ralph replied instantly.
It was true that he found her strange, but only a fool would offend her.
"Everyone’s different, and I like how unique you are.When should I call you Annie, then? I'll listen to you."
Hannah was silent, appearing to be in distress.
After some serious thought, she said, "Let’s have a secret code in the future.Could I call you...Ralphy next time?"
The corners of Ralph’s lips twitched.
‘Ralphy? What the h*ll is that? She looks cool usually, but she likes doing this?’ "Is it not a good name?"
Seeing that he did not answer her right away and that he had a strange expression on his face now, Hannah quickly asked.
"It’s great.I'll do anything as long as you like it."
Ralph covered his face, thinking that it would be the end if his friends were to hear his new nickname.
Fortunately, the two of them dated privately anyway.
After they got married, he would ask her to call him "Honey" instead.
At this thought, he turned to face her and said, "You can call me whatever as long as it makes you happy.I’d be happy even if you call me a pig."
Hannah's face was red.
"I won't call you that."
"Then we have a deal.When you call me...Ralphy, I'll call you Annie?"
Ralph would never be able to get used to saying Ralphie.His words had Hannah nodding fervently, joy evident in her eyes.
"Yup!"
‘What a weird fetish she has!’ She seemed to like her new earrings a lot and would touch them occasionally.
Finally, Ralph could not take it anymore and reminded her, "Didn't the sales advisor say to avoid touching it? It’s going to cause inflammation."
"Yeah.I'm just afraid that I would lose it."
Hannah was happy and put her hands down after hearing what Ralph said.She was so gentle and obedient today, which was the opposite of how she acted yesterday.
At this sight, Ralph had mixed feelings.
If it were not because she looked the same as she did yesterday and that she was the only daughter in the family, he would have suspected that he had met two totally different people.
"Annie."
Looking into her eyes, he called softly and held her hand.
"Yeah?"
Her cheeks were still flushed with color, and her gaze was innocent.She looked at him with a look that made her look like a lost dear in the forest.As she looked too adorable and sweet, Ralph could not help but lean in and lock lips with her.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 964
Hannah widened her eyes upon seeing the enlarged face in front of her.She felt scared, nervous, and ashamed the first time he kissed her, but she was feeling something else this time.
It was not the first time he kissed her now.
This time, he was gentle and cautious, sucking on her lips gently.
It was a weird feeling for her.
No one had ever done this to her in her life.
Forget about getting kissed, but no one had ever held her hand or even hugged her.
The strange yet familiar man was doing something intimate and felt weird to her, but she did not want to push him away.
Ralph just wanted to test the waters.
After all, he did not get a good experience the first time he kissed her.
Sensing that she did not resist and accepted him obediently, he became bolder and slid his tongue over.
Hannah was taken aback as she did not expect him to do this.
She kept her teeth clenched, unwilling to open up due to her fear and nervousness.
On the other hand, Ralph was a veteran of this.
He caressed her back gently to ease her nervousness with one hand while the other rubbed on the sensitive spots on her waist.
Soon, Hannah felt her body burning as if she had a fever.
She felt hot and weak and could only lean into him.
When she let her guard down, it gave him a chance to strike.
Everything that followed was out of her control.
The new and special feeling was not as bad and disgusting as she had thought.
Instead, she felt as if she was floating on the clouds, and finally got to breathe again after some time.
She gasped hard as if she would faint any second now if she did not take in enough oxygen.
Weak, she leaned against him, not realizing that his hand had already slid under her shirt and was now on her bare back.
"Does it feel good?"Ralph asked softly in her ear.She wanted nothing more than to disappear right now.
‘It’s so embarrassing!’ Undeniably, she felt good.
It was a wonderful feeling that she did not repel.
However, she could not tell him the truth because she was too shy.
Hence, she just bit her lip and stayed silent, her head nestled in his neck.
At this moment, Ralph knew that she was shy, and he found this side of her adorable, so much cuter than the stern look she had on yesterday.
His fingers fumbled the iron clasp on her back.He pulled it gently, then let it go again.
"Ah!"
Hannah yelled softly and moved closer to him.Her cheeks felt even warmer now.
Teasing her made Ralph burst out in laughter and hug her tighter.
He could not help but say, "Heather, I want to marry you soon!"
Those words were from the bottom of his heart, but Hannah suddenly froze.
It was as if someone had splashed cold water on her, waking her up from a beautiful fantasy.
The way he called Heather’s name was like a sharp piece of ice piercing right through her heart.
She realized that all the happiness she was feeling earlier did not belong to her.
She was Hannah, not Heather.
Heather was the one who would be his bride, not her! No one would know her name in this lifetime, and she could only live by Heather’s name forever.
"What's wrong?"
Ralph sensed that something was off again and wondered what he had done wrong.
‘Was I wrong again to say that I want to marry her soon? Judging from how she reacted to me earlier, that didn’t look like it"
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 965
She broke free from his embrace and her expression darkened.
There was a hint of indifference in her gaze too.
"It’s getting late so I'll get going now."
"What?"
Ralph was taken aback.He wanted to invite her to watch a movie together, and he had a lot of moves planned to win her over.He did not understand why she wanted to leave all of sudden.
Everything was still going perfectly well earlier.
Puzzled, he watched as she got ready to leave.
Before she could walk far, he held her hand, "Heather..."
He paused, then corrected himself, "Annie, tell me what’s wrong.I want to hear it from you.You’re passionate one moment, then cold the next.It’s driving me crazy..."
Hannah turned around and faced him, then lowered her gaze at their joined hands, hesitant to speak.
"Annie, tell me honestly about what you're dissatisfied with me.I don’t know what to do when you're like this.I don’t know what I should do to make you happy."
Anxiety was written all over his face while his gaze held sincerity.
Hannah thought about it and shook her head, pulling her hand out from his as she said, "It's not you.It’s me."
Ralph did not get what she meant.
"It’s not your problem.I’m the one with issues."
Her voice was soft, laced with hesitation and confusion.
"You..."
She trailed off before braving herself to continue, "If you discover that I’m not me one day, would you still like me?"
Ralph blinked his eyes, still confused.He did not get what she meant again.
"What do you mean by you’re not you? What’s...going to happen to you?"
Recently, he found that she was acting weird, but he could not understand what was happening.He felt uneasy, and her words made him even more suspicious.
Hannah seemed to have abruptly returned to her senses and shook her head.
"It's nothing.I was just asking a stupid question, so you don’t need to worry.I’ve told you that I can be weird sometimes, I hope you...don’t mind it too much."
Then she said, "I really need to go now.Thanks for the gift.I love it."
She raised her hand to touch her earlobes.
They still hurt a little whenever she touched them, which reminded her that everything she was experiencing now was nothing but a dream, and there will be a time when she was bound to wake up.She forced a smile on her face and turned to leave the scene quickly.
Ralph was rendered speechless as he watched her leave.
Soon, she got into the car and left, but he had doubts that were only growing by the minute.
Heather returned earlier today as she finished all her work ahead of time.
When she noticed that Hannah had not returned, she instantly became displeased.
She made a call to Hannah, but it was not answered.
That only made her fury grow.
Just as she was about to get someone to drag Hannah back, the sound of a car’s engine could be heard from outside.
It looked like she was back.
Heather walked toward the door, wanting to head outside to look but stopped in her tracks.
After some thought, she stepped back again and sat on the couch, picking up the pot slowly to pour herself a cup of tea.
Just as she picked the cup up, she heard the crisp sound of heels against the floor.
The sound stopped for a while, replaced by a click sound.
It seemed that she had sprained her ankle on her way in, making Heather frown.
‘She just can’t do anything right!’ Hannah was not used to wearing heels, but she had worn them to look as similar as possible to Heather.
Since her feet were slightly smaller than Heather's, she would sprain her ankle every time she put Heather’s heels on.She did not know that Heather had returned and simply took off her heels, holding them in her hand and trotting a little because she wanted to return to her safe space as quickly as possible.
In this place, the best thing she could do was hide and be non-existent.
However, she did not expect to make a mistake today.
Heather was sipping on her tea, and when she looked up, she saw a figure with a bent back and something in her hand running into the house on tiptoes.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 966
Hannah did not notice Heather as she walked.
Just as the servant stepped forward and wanted to speak, Hannah waved her hand at the servant as she rushed back to her small dark basement.
"Stop right there!"
When the cold voice spoke, Hannah stopped in her tracks.She slipped and almost fell due to her rush.
Fortunately, she held onto herself, but she looked embarrassed.
Heather became mad as she looked at Hannah's embarrassing and ridiculous self.
Although Hannah was the carbon copy of her, Heather would not do such a shameful thing.
"Heidi, you...are back."
Hannah was flustered as she spoke with a trembling voice.She did not even dare to look up at Heather.
"Where have you gone? Looking sneakily like that!"
"No, nothing."
Hannah whispered guiltily, "I just came back.I didn't know you were home.I'm...going back to my room."
She wanted to leave after finishing speaking, but Heather put the cup heavily on the table.
"Stop right there!"
Hannah froze on the spot as she stopped walking immediately.
Of course, Heather would not fail to notice Hannah's body language.She squinted her eyes.
"Come here!"
Although Hannah was reluctant, she did not dare to disobey Heather's order.She walked nearer but stopped after a few steps and stood there.
"Come here!"
Hannah walked two more steps and stopped.
"Do you want to die?"
Her cold voice could not trace any warmth.
Hannah trembled as she moved a few steps forward, standing three steps away from Heather, and stopped.
Heather glanced at Hannah coldly and measured her from top to bottom.
After so many years of deliberate imitation, Hannah's height, body shape, face, and hairstyle looked the same as Heather's.
Especially her face, that almost looked replicated.
However, someone familiar with them could tell the difference between their temperament and nature.
Heather would never let herself look so timid and cowardly.She felt even more irritable as she watched Hannah.
"What did you do today on the date with the man I asked you to go with?"
"Nothing, we didn't do anything,"
Hannah replied carefully as she lowered her head.She then raised her eyes and glanced, seeing Heather look unhappy.She trembled and changed her answer, "I mean, we just… ate together."
"Just ate together?"
"And...shopping, buying things."
Speaking of this, Hannah hurriedly put the bag in her hand for Heather.
"He...bought all these.Here you go."
Heather did not care about these things.She did not even bother to look at them.
"What else did you do?"
"Also...he wanted to take me to the movies.I didn't go, so I came back."
Her cheeks burned hot as she thought about that kiss.She did not dare nor want to mention it, and she didn't want to say it, so she just went past it.
Heather felt annoyed as she listened to it.
Shopping, eating, and watching movies were all that man's childish ways to trick little girl.
Heather did not want to waste her time if it was not for his status.
"That's enough! How are you talking so much nonsense? I've told you not to carry things by yourself when you're outside in the future.
Have you ever seen me carry things by myself?"
Idiot! How could she not understand such simple stuff?
"I understand," Hannah said in a low voice.
"Alright, now scram!"
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 967
Hannah immediately turned around to disappear from her sight as if she was reprieved.
Heather withdrew her gaze with impatience, but something seemed to shine through her eyes.She was stunned and looked over to see that Hannah had already trotted away and was about to disappear from her sight.
"Stop right there!"
Heather stood up abruptly as she snapped.
Hannah was rooted to the ground, startled, with her shoulder trembling.
"Heidi..."
However, Heather ignored her as she stood in front of Hannah, and stared at her firmly.
To be exact, Heather was staring at her ears.
Hannah subconsciously raised her hand and touched her ear as she felt guilty about being stared at...Her heart skipped a beat.
"Heidi, I-I’m sorry.I didn't mean to do it.I'll take it down right away..."
Hannah trembled as she was about to take off the earrings, but Heather was a step ahead and yanked them down aggressively...
"ah!"
Hannah screamed in pain with her bleeding ears.She trembled from the pain but did not dare to cry.
Tears rolled in her eyes as she looked at the woman standing in front of her with horror.
Heather was burning with rage as she looked at the accessories on her finger.She raised her hand to throw them out.
"Heidi, stop! That was a gift from Ralph!"
Hannah screamed, making Heather stop abruptly.
"What did you say?!"
Two pairs of similar eyes looked at each other.
One was furious, and one was panicked.
Hannah was afraid of Heather.She was so scared that she wished to hide in the cracks of the ground.
However, she did not know how she dared to face her.
"Heidi, Ralph… gifted it.He insisted.I, I had no choice..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, but Heather became angrier as she listened.
"He gifted it?! Must you accept it when he gifts it? Don’t you know that I don’t have any piercings? He asked you to pierce your ears too?!"
After thinking of what happened today, Hannah nodded, then shook her head again.
"No, it was me...I, Heidi.I was wrong.I am sorry, I won’t wear it anymore.Don't throw it away, please."
Looking into Heather's eyes, she quickly added, "He'll be suspicious if you throw it away."
"Do you think it will be okay if I don't throw it away?"
Heather looked at her coldly and suddenly raised her hand.
Hannah thought Heather would hit her, so she dodged in fright, but Heather lifted her hair, revealing her smooth and clean ears.
"Let me have a look!"
"How many times have I told you that you must protect your body and make yourself look like me? Do you think it's easy? Who asked you to get your ears pierced without my permission? Now, what do you want me to do? What to do? Ah!"
Hannah silenced as Heather roared.She stared at her earlobe in a daze.
In a trance, Hannah remembered her childhood and remembered many things.
Hannah could still comb her pigtails and paint beautiful nails in her vague memory.
It did not matter if she fell since her body was no longer her own.She needed to talk and act like her sister.
Even her hair to nails did not belong to her anymore.
She had to cut the same hairstyle as Heather.Hannah had to get the same injury in the same place if Heather was injured with a scar.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 968
It was supposed to be two separate bodies, but they had become one synchronized body.
Heather was still herself, but Hannah was no longer herself.
The pain in her ears had already gone numb, the bleeding had stopped, and she still felt an inexplicable sense of joy.
Today, Hannah felt that her body belonged to her.
She could finally be the master of her own for a moment, and she could do whatever she wanted, even piercing her ears, even if it hurt.It was her own choice.
Heather gradually calmed down.She was dazzled by the rage just now.
How did Hannah dare to disobey and pierce her ears? When Heather calmed down, she knew it was useless to get angry.She still needed Hannah's help to do things that she did not want or were inconvenient.
Slowly putting down her hand, Heather put the earring into Hannah's hand.
"Put this thing away, and don't lose it!"
As if she was released, Hannah stretched out her hand happily.She carefully looked at the earring that still had her blood in her palm.
Heather felt disgusted looking at her expression.She frowned as a thought flashed through her mind.
"Annie, did you...fell in love with that man?"
Panic showed in Hannah's eyes as she shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no! Heidi, I will listen to you, I won't, I won't!"
How could such a small gesture of hers escape from Heather's eyes? She nodded knowingly.
"Alright, I understand."
"Heidi, it's not what you think.I just..."
"Alright, I didn't say anything, you go back to your room to rest, and I'll get someone to give you some medicine later.
Be careful not to get inflamed with your injury, and don't cause me any trouble, understand?"
"I...understand," Hannah whispered.
"Take good care of your injuries for now.Don't overthink!"
Heather raised her hand to pat Hannah on the shoulder as she slightly pressed it down.She then turned around and left.
Seeing that she was gone, Hannah breathed a sigh of relief, but she still panicked.
Had Heather given in? Heather turned and left as she went into the bathroom.
Then, she turned on the faucet to rinse the blood on her hands with an indifferent expression.
Over the years, she had a lot of blood on her hands, and she was used to it, but today's blood made her very uncomfortable.
The water was flowing, but she kept thinking about the pierced ear.
Of course, she was not afraid of pain, but she did not like those cumbersome things, so she never got it done.
However, Hannah went to get it without her knowing.
The only way she could solve it was to get one too.
Looking at her ears in the mirror, Heather could not help but think of the shy expression on Hannah's face.
She might say no, but obviously, that man had seduced her.
Heather did not understand what was so good about that man! Useless stuff! She vigorously shook off the water on her hand and took the towel to dry it off.
It was time for her to end this matter as soon as possible! Ralph was euphoric when he received the call.
It was the first time Heather called him initiatively after the date.It must be the gift today made a difference as it seemed to be effective.
"Hei..."
He was interrupted as he was about to call her nickname, "I'll come to your house tomorrow."
"Ah?"
Ralph was stunned and said, "What did you say?"
"You didn't understand?"
Heather frowned as she felt that this man was foolish.
"Don't you think it's a waste of time to procrastinate like this? I'll go to your house tomorrow.We'll officially finalize the marriage."
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 969
"Tomorrow..."
Ralph was overjoyed.
He was about to agree when he realized she would gain the upper hand if he did so right away, so he deliberately said prolongedly, "I'm afraid tomorrow..."
"Why? You can't make it tomorrow?"
"It's not that.It's just a little inconvenient.Tomorrow my house..."
Before he could say anything more, he heard her say, "Let's just forget about it."
Then, Before Ralph could suggest to change the date, Heather said, "I can find someone else."
Ralph immediately panicked as she was about to hang up.
"Don't worry.I'm free tomorrow.I'm free!"
"You're free?"
"Yes, I'm free!" He said this while nodding constantly, afraid Heather would change her mind.
"Don't force yourself.Didn't you say it was inconvenient at home? "
The voice was indifferent.
Sweat dripped down Ralph's forehead as he continued, "No, it's very convenient.How could it be inconvenient? I was joking with you.Look..."
He did not know why this woman was so capricious that he could not figure out what she wanted.
Before that, she was as gentle as water and Ralph could say anything.
Instantly, she turned into a different person.Her attitude and way of speaking were different, which made him so scared! "Don't joke with me in the future.I don't like joking," Heather said coldly.
"Uh...got it."He gulped.
He was just about to ask if she had not liked it before.
Then he heard her saying, "Since this is the case, it's settled.I'll go to your house at noon tomorrow to finalize the marriage."
"Yeah, good."
Ralph could only answer, "Then do you want me to pick you up..."
Beep! The phone had already been hung up, leaving a beeping sound.
Ralph was speechless.
Before he knew it, he was already sweating profusely.
Thinking about it, he felt trembling in his heart.
He even felt like flinching, thinking about Heather's gentleness and cute appearance during the day and the great benefits of marrying her.
This marriage had to continue even if he did not want to.
It was just that this woman might have bipolar disorder.
After hanging up the phone, Heather brushed off the creases on her trousers and sneered.
From the phone, she could hear that the man was a coward.
He was just such a useless thing.
She did not understand how Hannah fell in love with him.
Picking up the glass and taking a sip of wine, Heather pursed her lips, thinking that she was finally getting what she had been looking for for so many years, and she could not help being a little excited.
She rubbed her fingers lightly.
Heather had been looking for the whereabouts of that secret kickboxing handbook since she took over the Riggs family.
Although they said the secret handbook was just a legend, she firmly believed it must exist.
The ancient family was once glorious.
However, they gradually declined, some became reclusive, and some withdrew.
Only the Riggs family hid on an island and did not give up.
After so many years, she finally found the secret handbook's whereabouts.
She also took many lives looking for it, but so what? She could revive the entire ancient kickboxing era and give it a place in the world if she could find it.
She took another sip of the wine as her lips curled up.
Two figures suddenly appeared in front of Heather, but she wasn't at all surprised because she seemed to know it already.She just raised her eyebrows.
"Have your injuries healed yet?"
"Master! We realize our mistakes!"
The two of them kneeled together.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 970
"Oh, you realized?"
Heather snorted and did not even bother to glance at them.She stared at the wine in her glass.
"You failed to take down a declining Lodge family and even returned injured.If you know your mistake, you should pay it with your life."
Shivers ran through their veins.
"We beg you! Please spare our lives!"
"Enough!"
She put down her glass of wine heavily.
"If I want to punish you, you will not live today! Your lives are still useful for me to complete some tasks!"She then commanded, "Get up!"
After carefully looking at her to ensure it was not irony, the two stood up.
Who would have thought that the famous and intimidating Light- Shadow Killers would be so humble in front of a woman?
"I have a task for you.You'll sneak into the Russell family mansion and find something for me tonight," she said unhurriedly.
"Master, I thought it wasn’t there?"
One of them could not help asking.
"Just listen to my order.Do I need you to remind me whether it is there?"
Heather said coldly, "Do not disturb anyone.Make sure to be back by dawn!"
"Noted!"
The two followed the order and blended into the night.
"Guest list?"
Alexander looked at the paper in front of him as he wiped his wet hair and raised his eyebrows.
"Didn’t I tell you it is up to you to decide?"
"I showed it to you before, but I made some changes, so I want you to see it again."
Lily tilted her head and spoke.
"No need.If you are fine with it, I’m fine too!"
Tossing away the wet towel, he sat behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and felt her softness.
Unsure if it was because of her pregnancy, he felt she was gentler.
The soft fragrance from her body made him bury his head in the back of her neck and sniff deeply.
"Stop it!"
Lily pushed him lightly as she felt ticklish.She pulled back her neck and laughed.
"I'm serious.After all, we are tight with time.I will finalize this list and won’t make any changes afterward."
"Then you can tell me.Who do you wish to add or remove."
He closed his eyes and not wanting to open them.He did not want to move at all.
"From my side, only Lisa could not make it, so there aren’t many changes.From your side..."
After pondering for a while, Lily looked into his eyes.
"Are you sure you don't want to reserve some seats for your grandmother and the others?"
When she turned her face, she could only see the outline of his face, with long eyelashes drooping down.
Looking at the faint black shadow under his eyelids, he must have been quite tired recently.
Alexander closed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds.
His thin lips moved, "Yeah, I'm sure."
Without waiting for her to speak again, he finally opened his eyes.
"Do you want to invite them?"
"You want the truth?" She asked seriously.
Alexander nodded.
"To be honest, I don't care.After all, they are your family and relatives.Even if I am not a stranger to them, I don't have many feelings for them.With their attitude toward me a few days ago, it would be nice if they would not be present.It's just that..."
After a pause, she said, Won't you feel a little regret?"
After all, there would be no family members of Alexander at the wedding banquet if they did not invite them! When the news spread, the Russell family's act would ruin everyone's reputation.
