Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 37's
After the door of her room closed, Lorie lowered the blanket from her face and sat leaning on the bed. His emotions were really bad, Raymond's presence made him even worse, plus Alice made him even more chaotic.
Lorie really didn't want to deal with Raymond Dawson, didn't want to ruin the man's relationship with her fiance. In addition, Alice was always trying to show her possession whenever she appeared in the hospital, the woman was obviously jealous and worried that her lover would be taken away.
It was very annoying because Lorie had no intention of seizing anyone. He knew enough to not put his hope in someone else's future husband just because of one night's mistake.
After all, if only to apologize, he had already forgiven Raymond before the man realized what had happened between them. The accident happened not because of Raymond's pure fault, but because of his carelessness as well. Had he been more vigilant, it would have been impossible to get into the opponent's trap and result in such an event.
“This is very annoying,” grumbled Lorie while getting up and sitting on the edge of the bed.
He moved his hands, clenched and stretched out his fingers to check his strength. He stood up and tried to walk to the window. His head felt a little spinning, but it was still tolerable. Step by step, he managed to reach the edge of the glass and leaned against the wall, staring at the passing vehicle below.
To be honest, when she saw Raymond's face when she first opened her eyes, Lorie was so shocked that she almost cried out. He had no idea that the man would find him.
He thought ... Raymond won't try to find him. It was fortunate that his sore neck prevented him from shouting. Otherwise, he might have been exposed at that very moment. Somehow his instincts immediately reacted to pretend not to recognize the man. Perhaps it was because his subconscious indirectly wanted to block the man from memory, unwilling to establish any contact with him anymore.
But in reality, the man was stubborn and obnoxious, coming all the time like a leech clinging to it and unwilling to escape. Perhaps ... he should consider the input of Doctor Ana to move out of the hospital. Thus, he no longer needed to meet that annoying couple.
Yep. Just like that ....
“Aunty!”
Lorie turned her head quickly when she heard that melodious voice that she had missed so much. His eyes shone brightly when he saw three brats with similar faces to each other were charging towards him. He stretched out his arms to greet the three cute boys and hugged them one by one.
“Hai, Sweetie, how are you?” ask Lorie as she kisses Amber's cheek.
“I miss you so much, Aunty! Daddy said, you are sick .. He wants us to visit to comfort you,” replied Amber as she tightened her arms.
Suddenly Lorie's consciousness returned. He had forgotten that triplets must have come with their father. As he looked up slowly, Alex Smith and Billy were standing by the door and looking at him with squeaking eyes. The two of them did not say anything, but the look in the eyes was more than enough to make Lorie's guts shrink.
Billy stepped closer while saying, “So, you suddenly came to your senses when you saw Amber?”
“Eng.”
“Is it even possible to happen, Lorie?” ask Billy who is getting closer.
Lorie stared at the floor and stood up clumsily. Has he been caught off guard?
“It ... I .. um, I ...”
“Stop, Billy,” Alex said as he held the arm of his best friend who still wanted to push forward towards Lorie. “Sit.”
Billy clucked in annoyance and sat across the triplets staring at their father and Lorie alternately.
“Can you explain, what is going on, Lorie?” alex asked, locking his eyes on the man.
Lorie sighed deeply before replying, “I'm sorry for being forced to lie to you both, Sir. If I remember you and Billy but forget him, it will look awkward.”
“Raymond Dawson?” tanya Alex, referring to the word “dia" spoken by Lorie.
Lorie nodded slowly. Since it is this way, it is better that he just say it all. The woman cleared her throat and added, “Can I move from here? I don't want to meet him.”
Now Billy was convinced that his previous guess was correct, but he did not dare to say it in front of Lorie. Apart from being afraid of offending the woman, he was also afraid of being beaten again by Alex. Even though he was this old, he even had two children, but was still afraid when Alex glared at him. His best friend's aura was indeed really creepy.
“Good. I will arrange for you to move to the Spring Mountains,” Alex said without asking what is the cause of Lorie wanting to move.
“Thank you, Sir,” reply Lorie while smiling thinly.
