Chapter 247 What Does Ralph Want To Do?
Ralph sighed lightly when he saw how shy Lottie was. He turned around and entered the bathroom.
Listening to the sound of running water, Lottie closed her eyes.
When Ralph came out of the bathroom, Lottie already had fallen asleep with a pillow in her arms.
Ralph smiled helplessly, walked over, and gently rubbed her head. “Good girl.”
Seemed to have heard his voice, Lottie frowned slightly.
“After tomorrow…”
He sighed. “I hope you don’t blame me.”
Lottie turned around and continued to sleep.
Ralph shook his head and turned to the study.
Sitting on the chair in the study, he took a deep breath and dialed a strange number.
The phone was quickly picked up.
“Jerry is asleep. What’s the matter?”
Ralph frowned and smiled. “Is there York?”
“Yeah.”
The man on the other end of the phone yawned and said indifferently, “I thought you must sleep with her after kissed her for so long.”
“It seems not.”
Ralph was silent for a moment. “Have you arranged everything for Mr. Bell?”
“Don’t worry.”
York smiled and said, “Everything is ok.”
“However, do you…”
He paused for a moment. “Do you really have the heart to hurt her?”
“I have no choice.”
Ralph took a deep breath and said, “If possible, can you take care of her for me?”
York frowned. “Why don’t you ask Alfred for help?”
Alfred was Ralph’s cousin, and he had loved Lottie in the past.
Most importantly, Alfred was the adoptive father of Lottie’s daughter.
With such a relationship, even if Ralph and Lottie broke up at that time, she could still look on her daughter as a reason to ask Alfred for help.
Why did Ralph need his help?
“Alfred is too emotional and will ruin everything.”
After that, he was silent for a while. “Besides, Alfred has a girlfriend now.”
York let out a long “oh” and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take Lottie away?”
“You should know, right? I used to be her deskmate when she was in junior high school.”
“You can’t take her away.”
Ralph said with confidence. “If you can take her away, she won’t be her.”
In the end, Ralph chatted with York for a while before hanging up.
The night was long.
The slender man stood in front of the French window of the study, staring at the scenery outside.
After dawn, everything would be different, wouldn’t it?
Lottie woke up from the violent knocking on the door.
Outside the door, Connie tried her best to smash the door with her fist. “Lottie, wake up!”
“News!”
Lottie yawned and slowly got up from the bed to open the door. “What’s wrong?”
“Damn it! Look at this!”
Connie took out her mobile phone.
It was a press conference of the Bartons.
The content of the press conference was-the son of the former patriarch of the Bartons, Ralph had returned to it.
Lottie yawned as she watched the live broadcast. “What’s wrong?”
Ralph was a member of the Bartons. Didn’t Alfred already say that?
What’s there to be surprised about?
“No!”
Connie frowned and pointed anxiously at the character on the live broadcast screen. “Look, who is sitting next to Ralph!?”
Lottie took a look.
In an instant, her eyes widened.
The woman sitting next to Ralph was none other than Yoyo, who had taken her place as the eldest daughter of the Bells.
Lottie felt as if her brain had gone blank for a moment.
“She is from the Bells…”
“What does Ralph’s return to the Bartons have to do with her?”
Connie sighed. “That’s it!”
“I just asked Alfred. He said…”
As she spoke, she glanced timidly at Lottie. “He said…”
Looking at her hesitant expression, Lottie rolled her eyes. “What did he say? Tell me.”
“He said…”
Connie helplessly rubbed her eyebrows and said, “He said this is a press conference for the returning and engagement ceremony.”
With a bang, the phone in Lottie’s hand fell to the ground.
She subconsciously reached out to cover her head. “No… it’s impossible…”
Her head was rumbling.
She couldn’t hear clearly what Connie was saying.
His mind was full of that sentence:
“A press conference for the returning and engagement ceremony.”
The engagement ceremony…Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
She was the one to marry Ralph, wasn’t she?
Why was Yoyo there?
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
It was Fabian said coldly. “Mommy, the car is ready.”
Lottie and Connie were both stunned.
A car?
Lottie was silent for a long time before something came to her mind.
She opened the door and rushed out as if she had gone mad. “Fabian, you said that the car has been ready… Is it going to send Mommy to your daddy’s press conference?”
“Let’s go now!”
She wanted to ask him clearly on the spot!
What was Ralph trying to do?
He was actually getting engaged to Yoyo!?
But what Lottie didn’t expect was that Fabian looked at her with confusion. “What press conference?”
“I mean that the car is ready to send you and Brother to move out.”
Lottie was frozen instantly.
She looked back at Fabian. “What… did you say?”
“Daddy told us this morning. The three of us, Stella and I will follow Daddy, and Brother will follow you.”
“Daddy also said that you have to move out before he goes home.”
With this, the little fellow even looked back at Connie. “And Connie, your boyfriend should be coming to pick you up soon.”
“Please move out too.”
“After Daddy and Miss Bell got engaged, it’s always not good for too many women to live at home!”
Hearing his words, Connie and Lottie look at each other subconsciously.
They could find shock showing in the other’s eyes.
How could it be…?
“Mommy.”
Downstairs, it was Elijah calling.
Lottie subconsciously looked down in the direction of the first floor.
Elijah was already dressed neatly, stood there with his small suitcase, smiling and waiting for her. “I’ll always be with you.”
The little fellow’s words made Lottie’s heart skipped a beat for a moment.
She bit her lip and closed her eyes, could not accept the reality. “What… what’s going on?”
Ralph had brought her to the party last night. He had accompanied her outside her mother’s ward and brought her to watch the meteors at one o’clock in the morning.
Why did the world change after waking up?
Why was she the last one to know about his engagement with Yoyo?
Why did he arrange everything by himself?
Which child would she take away when she left?
And… Her friend, Connie.
“I don’t accept it.”
Lottie sniffed and strode downstairs to grab Elijah’s hand. “Let’s go to the press conference!”
She had to ask clearly what Ralph wanted to do!
