Chapter 243 The Birthday
Sean closed his mouth and sent Ralph and Lottie to the hotel where the banquet was held.
Getting out of the car, Lottie took Ralph’s hand and the two of them entered the banquet together.
At first, Lottie had thought that the banquet would be a lively scene.
But what she didn’t expect was…
Almost all the people present were men and few were women.
Even if there were a few women, they looked like secretaries.
She frowned and whispered in Ralph’s ear, “Why aren’t there many women?”
The man laughed helplessly and looked ahead. He said in a faint voice, “Didn’t I say that?”
“This is a boring banquet.”
The banquet was divided into many kinds.
Now, the banquet they were at was purely to provide a chance for the big shots in business to communicate and get to know each other, not for social activities.
Therefore, most of the people present either took their secretaries and assistants or went alone.
This was also the reason why Ralph hadn’t told her that there was a banquet.
However, since she already knew about it and was even jealous of Yvonne…
He simply brought her over.
Although everyone acquiesced that they did not have relatives, there was no rigid rule that they must not bring relatives.
The way they walked attracted countless people’s attention.
Everyone couldn’t help whispering.
In the corner of the crowd, the man with a cold temperament glanced in the direction of Ralph and Lottie, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
He turned to look at the woman sitting next to him. “Why is she here?”
The woman paused for a moment and smiled. “Mr. Lee, are you talking about Lottie?”
The man glanced at her coldly and said nothing.
The woman smiled again. “It’s been so many years. You still remember her?”
After that, she picked up her glass and took a sip. “Don’t forget that your business on Odense this time.”
The man did not speak, but just smiled faintly. “Tell me, can she still remember me now?”
“I heard that she lost her memory. She can’t even remember her husband anymore.”
The woman gracefully put down the wine glass. “The one beside her is said to be the eldest young master of our Bartons, the son of the previous patriarch, and my cousin.”
“It’s said that after Lottie lost her memory, she didn’t even know her husband.”
“Mr. Lee… you’re just her deskmate in junior high school.”
“Even if she doesn’t lose her memory, she can’t remember you, can she?”
The man paused, then touched his chin and laughed. “That’s true.”
When he was in junior high school, he was still a little fatty who was despised and neglected.
At that time, not to mention girls in the class, even boys were unwilling to sit with him.
In the end, it was Lottie who took the initiative to find teacher, sit at the same table as him, make friends with him, and persuade him to study hard.
“I think you’re lonely without friends.”
“If I don’t make friends with you anymore, you will definitely feel very uncomfortable!”
“I don’t think you’re ugly or…”
York closed his eyes.
He remembered clearly what Lottie had said to him back then.
He didn’t expect to see her again many years later. She was already a married woman.
Time flew by.
After holding Ralph’s arm and entering, the man brought her wherever he went to take care of her emotions.
In the beginning, Lottie was still a little moved and excited by Ralph’s action of taking her around.
But after a long time…
It was so bored!
She took a deep breath and carefully asked after Ralph took her to say goodbye to a few more business partners, “Honey, when will the banquet end?”
The man smiled gently and raised his hand to rub her head. “Soon.”
The woman felt wronged. “How long will it take?”
The man looked down at the time.
“In another two hours.”
Lottie’s small face instantly collapsed.
Two hours…
Ralph chuckled as if he saw the helplessness in her eyes. “Do you feel bored?”
“Yes.”
“I ask Sean to send you back.”
Lottie nodded, “Ok!”
She didn’t want to stay here any longer.
If she knew that it was such a boring banquet, she would give this chance for Yvonne!
In order to attend this banquet, she bought an evening dress and dressed up. When she arrived at the venue, she found that no one competed with her.
There were very few women at the banquet, and all men were busy talking about business.
Probably knowing Lottie’s thought, Ralph gently pinched her nose and said, “If it is an interesting banquet, don’t I tell you?”
“Are you still jealous?”
Lottie quickly shook her head and said, “I’m not jealous!”
Ralph smiled with satisfaction. Then he asked Sean to send Lottie back.
Coming out of the venue, Lottie sat in the car and breathed the fresh air, “I’m finally back to life!”
The venue was not only boring, but also depressing!
Hearing that, Sean laughed and said, “Mrs. Chapman, are we going back to the villa now?”
“Yes!”
Lottie responded and took out her phone.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Connie sent her a picture.
“Lottie, where are you?”
“I am on the beach. Someone is setting off fireworks. It’s very beautiful. Will you come?”
Lottie frowned and opened the photo.
The photo showed the dark beach, and gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky.
Alfred held Stella’s hand and stood by the sea, looking up at the fireworks. The scene was very harmonious and beautiful.
“Lottie, you used to like fireworks very much. Do you remember?”
Lottie nodded.
She used to like fireworks very much.
But after she suffered so many things, her interest became not very important.
No one cared about her interest.
She almost forgot that she used to like fireworks.
But Connie still remembered it.
She sent Connie a message, “Thank you for still remembering it.”
Connie quickly replied Lottie, “Do you come to see it? It’s really beautiful!”
“I hear that the firework is a birthday present that a rich man gives his lover!”
“This woman is so happy! The fireworks have been on for several hours!”
Lottie’s hand was trembling slightly.
In fact, she also expected that someone set off fireworks for her on her birthday.
She sighed, and rejected Connie again. She felt bored and continued to check her phone.
She found that Arthur who did not post any news at usual time also posted one thing today.
It was about the fireworks.
“You once said that you would set off fireworks for her on her birthday.”
“No matter how beautiful the firework is today, she can’t see it.”
Lottie was shocked.
She quickly sent a message to Arthur, “Whose birthday is today?”
“Your mother, Yuki.”
