Chapter 248 I Have Her Now
Elijah hesitated for a moment.
He raised his head again and looked at the determination in Lottie’s eyes. He frowned faintly. “Mommy, are you sure you want to attend that press conference?”
Lottie nodded hard.
She had to hear Ralph’s explanation in person.
She would not believe others but himself!
Seeing that she was so determined, Elijah sighed and silently held her hand. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”
On the railing on the second floor, Fabian looked at Elijah’s back and couldn’t help calling him, “Brother, you…”
“Didn’t he usually dote on Mommy the most?”
“Why was he still accompanying her when he knew that mommy would only be sad if she went to the press conference?” he thought.
Elijah calmly stopped.
After a while, he turned around and smiled at Fabian. “Women should be spoiled.”
“What she wants to do? Just support her.”
Fabian rolled his eyes. “But you can’t be blind.”
Connie, who was standing aside, glared at Fabian and said, “What are you talking about?”
“Your mommy is serious!”
After that, she knocked on Fabian’s head. “You usually love your mommy. Why don’t you let your mommy verify it at this time?”
Fabian felt the pain and subconsciously covered his head. “You don’t understand.”
Although he knew that his mommy would be in pain for a few days.
But he really didn’t want to see his mommy sad so soon.
Anyway… If he could delay a little, he would.
After all, she was also his most beloved woman.
However, Elijah did not think so.
He clutched her hand tightly. “Don’t worry. I’ll be here no matter when.”
Lottie took a deep breath and nodded. She held Elijah’s hand and strode out of the villa.
On the balcony on the second floor, Stella watched the car drove away. She helplessly rubbed her brows.
“Daddy, do you have to do this?”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“In fact, we can think of other ways.”
“Aren’t you afraid that Mommy won’t forgive you after it’s over?”
The message was sent, but got no reply.
The little girl helplessly glanced at the tablet computer on the table in front of her.
On the screen, Ralph was standing with Yoyo and answering the reporters’ questions.
When Lottie and Elijah arrived at the press conference, Ralph was announcing the date of the marriage with Yoyo.
Ten days later.
He was in a hurry.
Standing at the entrance of the press conference, Lottie looked at the man on the stage, whose arm was held by Yoyo, and could not help but burst into tears.
She had told herself along the way that there must be a misunderstanding.
It was definitely not what Connie said.
Ralph must have his reasons.
It won’t be…
But now, she stood at the scene and watched the man talking to Yoyo with a smile. Her heart hurt as if it had been stirred by a knife.
She bit her lip and walked toward the stage of the venue step by step.
A reporter was asking,
“Mr. Chapman, why are you so anxious to announce your marriage with Miss Yoyo? Is it because of the crisis of the Bells?”
“Do you also think that marrying the daughter of the Bartons is the only way for the Bells, just as others think?”
Ralph smiled.
“No.”
As he spoke, he gave Yoyo a gentle look. “The reason why I got engaged to her so quickly…”
“First of all, this engagement contract was made by Mr. Barton and Mr. Bell. It represented the friendship between the two elders. Out of respect for the elders, we should fulfill their wishes as soon as possible.”
“The second reason is that due to some well-known reasons, my engagement with Yoyo will definitely be opposed by some people, so the sooner we announce it, the better to avoid problems.”
“Am I who was the “some people” to oppose you in your words?”
As soon as the man finished speaking, a cold and indifferent female voice came from the direction of the door of the venue.
Everyone in the venue turned to look in the direction.
Lottie clutched Elijah’s hand tightly. Tears streamed down her face as her body began to tremble slightly. “Ralph, am I that “some people” you’re talking about?”
The man on the stage frowned hard.
He subconsciously glanced at Elijah next to Lottie.
Their eyes met.
Ralph frowned and asked with his gaze, “Why did you bring her here?”
Elijah looked into Ralph’s eyes without any fear, and he thought that sooner or later, Lottie would know.
Seeing that Elijah was no longer on his side, Ralph took a deep breath and calmed down. He fixed his gaze on Lottie’s face. “Yes.”
All of a sudden.
The venue was noisy. The reporters began to frantically take photos of Lottie.
Lottie was shocked.
She finally got Ralph’s answer.
The answer was not what she wanted.
Lottie sniffed, and her tears began to flow uncontrollably.
“Ralph, can you give me a reason?”
But…
They loved each other so much, didn’t they?
“There’s no reason.”
Ralph’s eyes were indifferent. “I’m just tired.”
Lottie’s body swayed.
“Are you tired?”
“Yes.”
Ralph’s eyes were cold without any emotion.
“Since we were together, I have been apologizing to you, protecting you, and helping you with all kinds of things.”
“For example, Luke, Isobel, Claudia and Alice…”
“You have to rely on me to solve all your problems.”
Lottie’s body couldn’t stop trembling, and she was distressed.
Lottie bit her lip. “I don’t remember…”
Ralph’s eyes flashed with pain.
He turned his face away and did not dare look into Lottie’s eyes. He was afraid to see her sad look, so he could not continue his words.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. I can tell you.”
“Lottie, from the very beginning, you relied on me and used me.”
“I’ve done so many things for you, but you don’t remember me at all.”
“I’m the most unimportant one in your heart, right?”
“No, no.”
In tears, Lottie looked at his cold face and tried her best to save it. “I forgot you, not because you are not important.”
“I like you all the time.”
“You should know…”
Ralph closed his eyes.
Of course, he understood.
If Lottie had not loved him deeply, how could she forget him?
Lottie was like her father, Jerry. If Jerry hadn’t loved Yuki too deeply, how could Jerry have forgotten about Yuki for twenty years…?
“It doesn’t matter.”
Ralph took a deep breath, grabbed Yoyo’s sleeve, and pretended to be intimate. “I have her now.”
“Our families are well-matched, and we have been engaged since we were young.”
“Since you’re here, I’ll let you know.”
“We’re done.”
“In ten days, I will hold the most luxurious wedding to marry the real Miss Bell.”
