Chapter 122 She Is Looking for Me, I Have to Go
In the Chapman house.
After Ralph finished a meal with Mr. Old Chapman, they played chess together.
“I always think you are rational and calm. Why do you allow Kayden to do that this time?”
After a few rounds, Mr. Old Chapman stroked his beard and asked.
Ralph smiled to say, “Kayden has always avoided his love affairs.”
“That girl has been chasing him for more than three or four years, but he never responds at all. Now he finally makes a decision.”
“I am his uncle, and I should support him.”
“That’s all?”
Mr. Old Chapman smiled, “You can fool others, but you can’t fool me.”
He sighed lightly, “I ask someone to investigate it.”
“She met some bad things last night.”
“Kayden marries her because he wants her to have a backer, doesn’t he?”
“It’s very important for her to get audience’s support.”
“Although few people on the Internet know about her suffering, it will be a fatal blow to her if the news is leaked from other ways.”
“Although she has made some money by filming these years, many things can’t be handled by money.”
Ralph smiled helplessly, “I really can’t hide anything from you.”
Natalia had no any power. Although she had money, money did not mean everything.
If the news that she was humiliated last night was spread out, it would be a devastating blow to her and her future career.
But if she became a member of the Chapman family, everything would be different.
The Chapman family was the most powerful family in Rexwell.
After she married Kayden, no matter who wanted to report her negative news, they would carefully consider the serious consequences to offend the Chapman family.
This was the reason why Ralph did not stop Kayden, and even supported him very much.
However, Ralph did not expect that Mr. Old Chapman could guess their true purpose so quickly.
Mr. Old Chapman was smart
He stroked his beard and asked, “When are you going to announce your relationship with my daughter-in-law?”
“My daughter-in-law is very popular on the Internet recently.”
“Wait.”
Ralph smiled, “She doesn’t like to make it public.”
“Besides, she is not in trouble.”
“So, it is better for her to hide our relationship.”
Mr. Old Chapman shook his head helplessly, “You just get married, and you’ve already doted on her so much.”
“As long as she wants to, I can dote on her ever more.”
Mr. Old Chapman was speechless.
He lost.
He had never thought that his indifferent son would speak such sweet words!
When they were teasing each other, Ralph’s phone rang.
It was from Lottie.
Ralph stood up and went aside to answer the phone, “Why do you call me at this time?”
Mr. Old Chapman looked at Ralph’s back and replaced the chess pieces on the chessboard carefully.
“I have something to tell you.”
Lottie said with a strong nasal tone, “Can you come back?”
“It’s… very important.”
She said carefully, “If you don’t want to come back…”
“I’m going back now.”
Ralph said dotingly, “Wait for me at home.”
After saying, he hung up the phone.
When Ralph turned around, Mr. Old Chapman was holding Ralph’s chess piece.
Mr. Old Chapman was found replacing the chess pieces on the spot.
He smiled at Ralph and said, “I find your chess pieces… seem to be dirty.”
Ralph was amused by his childish behavior.
He walked over, picked up his coat next to the chessboard in his arms, “Ask servants to clean them up.”
“I have something to do, so I leave now.”
Mr. Old Chapman felt sad, “Doesn’t you say that you have no work to do in the afternoon?”
“I really have no work to do in the afternoon.”
Ralph gracefully buttoned the shirt cuffs, “But your daughter-in-law wants me to go back now.”
“She’s looking for me, so I have to go.”
“So you broke your word with your father?”
“Yes.”
He ignored Mr. Old Chapman’s grievances and said, “You have already been my father for 28 years, but she only becomes my wife for more than a month.”
“The old love is not as good as the new one. She is my new love.”
Mr. Old Chapman was speechless.
“Are you sure this metaphor is right?”
“Almost.”
Ralph glanced at Mr. Old Chapman and said, “I hope that next time you can win me with your ability instead of changing chess pieces secretly.”
Mr. Old Chapman:”…”
When Ralph returned home, Lottie was still lying on the bed in the bedroom, staring blankly at the ceiling.
She did not know how to explain it to Ralph.
But she had to explain.
Ralph would know sooner or later.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Instead of waiting for him to find out, it was better to explain these things by herself.
The most important thing between husband and wife was honesty and trust, wasn’t it?
At this moment, she heard the sound of a car stopping downstairs.
Lottie quickly put on her slippers and went downstairs.
When she walked to the door, she saw the photos on the bedside table.
She took a deep breath and put those photos into her pocket and went downstairs.
In the living room downstairs, Ralph was hanging his coat on the dressing rack.
“You’re back.”
Lottie pursed her lips and went downstairs carefully.
Ralph nodded and sat down on the sofa.
He leaned back and put his hands on the armrest of the sofa. His long legs were crossed gracefully.
He looked at her and chuckled, “Come here.”
Ralph’s voice was low and pleasant with a sense of indulgence.
Lottie’s face turned red. She carefully walked over and sat down beside him.
Before she sat still, she was pressed down on the sofa by Ralph.
Ralph moved closer to her and said, “Why do you call me back in such a hurry? Do Mrs. Chapman miss me?”
His attitudes made Lottie do not know what to say.
After a while, she took a deep breath and took out photos from her pocket and put them in Ralph’s hands.
“Just now, Kevin came and gave me these photos and my mom’s jade pendant.”
“He wants us to give Claudia a chance.”
Ralph looked at those photos.
As he flipped through them one by one, he frowned deeply.
