Chapter 280 Playing Hard to Get
Only after Lottie Green finished her words did Natalia Ross realize what she had misunderstood.
Natalia pretended to cough, “Lottie… Luciana.”
“I don’t mean anything else. I’m just a little shocked.”
She felt shocked that Lottie had turned herself into an ugly woman.
Ralph Chapman once said that Lottie Green had put on special-effect makeup and turned herself into another woman, she didn’t believe it. How could a woman as beautiful as Lottie Green be so genuinely pretending to be ugly?
But now…
When she saw Lottie standing in front of her, she got that.
It seems that she was wrong.
She could not imagine and could not predict the determination of Lottie to dress up as ugly.
Lottie didn’t care about her image anymore. That was true.
Anyway, Lottie had changed her name now.
Everyone knew that her name was Luciana, and no one knew that she was the missing Mrs. Chapman, a woman who had been searched for over a month by Mr. Chapman.
“Just get used to seeing my face.” Lottie smiled a little embarrassed.
If she had known that her face could scare Natalia Ross, she shouldn’t have agreed with the person who applied this makeup.
“Well, I’ll get used to it.”
Natalia took a breath, looking up to survey the RD Taekwondo Gym behind Lottie, “It’s beautiful here.”
“Thanks.”
Lottie wanted to hold Natalia but once she thought of her face, she hesitated.
It was Natalia who came over and directly took Lottie’s arm in the end, “Let’s go in!”
Natalia’s sudden intimacy caused Lottie to be stunned for a moment.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
But it was only for a moment.
A moment later, she smiled gently, “Sure, let’s go in.”
After saying that, the two women entered the RD Taekwondo Gym together, arm in arm, forgetting that behind them, there was a tall, upright man standing behind them all the time.
“Oh! No.”
“Handsome Dad just got ignored?”
“Even such a tall and handsome daddy can be ignored! Girls’ friendship is indeed more reliable than love!”
In the headphones, there was a faint sigh of relief from the three little ones.
Ralph Chapman wrinkled his eyebrows and turned off the video camera in his jacket pocket with some annoyance.
The screen on the computer was black.
In the Chapmans’ Villa, the three little ones looked at each other with bewildered faces.
“Am I out of line?? Why did Daddy get angry and cut off the signal?” said Stella Barton.
“Maybe Daddy wasn’t angry because of your words, but he felt ashamed, right? It was so hard to find mummy and get involved with her, but in her eyes, Auntie Natalia is the most important!”
Elijah Chapman tapped on the keyboard silently, “It’s okay, daddy turned off the camera, I can still hack into the RD Taekwondo Gym’s surveillance system and see what’s going on over there right now.”
As the words fell, there was a surveillance video of the RD Taekwondo Gym.
The first thing that caught their eyes was their two old grandfathers, Arthur Bell and Jerry Bell, sitting together drinking milk tea and making a bet.
Jerry was the first to say, “I bet Ralph Chapman will not leave and he will find a reason to stay here today.”
Arthur gave him a puzzled look, “Then I… also bet that he will stay here too!”
Since he started betting with Jerry these past few days, his wallet was deflating at a visible rate.
The living expenses were given to him by Lottie yesterday, and he didn’t want to spend it all just like that.
Jerry had Richeal Lee and York Lee to give him money, but Arthur only had Lottie’s support.
“You can not be the same with me, so who’s going to be the right one?”
Jerry rolled his eyes, “Pick again.”
Arthur glared at him, “No way!”
While the two old men were arguing, a clear child’s voice rang out from the camera on the side.
The voice of Fabian was soft and soulful, “My dear grandfathers, why don’t I be your sparring partner?”
“I bet my daddy won’t stay at the RD Taekwondo Gym, after sending Auntie Natalia there, he’ll leave.”
The little one’s words caused both two old men to instantly prick up their ears.
The two old men searched for a while before realizing that it was the sound coming from the video camera.
Jerry wrinkled his brows, “Did Elijah do this?”
“It was me, Fabian.”
“Anyway, grandfathers, bet or not?” Fabian smiled.
“Bet or not?”
Arthur and Jerry looked at each other, “YES!”
“Good.”
Fabian cleared his throat, “If you guys win, I’ll have my daddy throw money in the mailbox at the door when we go to the RD Taekwondo Gym tomorrow.”
“If we win… you guys will promise us one thing, okay?”
“It definitely won’t be hard for you guys, it’s something you can accomplish!”
His words made them glance at each other.
Finally, the two old men nodded ruthlessly, “Good! It’s a deal!”
Turning off the microphone, Stella silently glanced at Fabian, “How do you know that Daddy will leave today?”
“In case he does stay there… won’t we lose?”
Fabian smiled chestily, “Since we skipped class today, I’ve made a deal with the kindergarten teacher, she’ll call our daddy later and tell him about the three of us not going to class.”
“Although in daddy’s heart, mummy is very important, we are just as important!”
“Is that not considered cheating?” Stella asked.
“As long as you keep the secret, grandpas won’t know that!” said Fabian.
However, just as the three little ones were discussing what to ask from grandpas, the kindergarten teacher’s call came in.
“Hi, Fabian, I called your daddy, but couldn’t get through.” the teacher asked.
Fabian wrinkled his brow, “How come?”
“Yes, it did. I called three times and couldn’t get through.”
The teacher on the other end of the phone sighed, “My Gosh, how can I reach out to?”
The phone hung up before Fabian could say something, Elijah couldn’t help but sigh, “Grandpas seem to be trying to prevent us from cheating… that they blocked the mobile phone signal.”
Might come true the old saying, Aged ginger is more pungent.
Just when the three little ones thought they would lose this bet, the door of the RD Taekwondo Gym opened from the inside.
A man in a suit elegantly walked out of the RD Taekwondo Gym.
The three little ones’ eyes widened.
Daddy had not received a call from the kindergarten teacher…
Why did he come out of the RD Taekwondo Gym?
Fabian didn’t hold back and picked up the phone to call Ralph.
The man sat down on the car with a sullen face, indifferent voice and eyes, “What do you know? My little puppy”
“Do you know what it means? I am not playing hard to get.”
