Chapter 289 You Are the Prettiest One in the World
Ralph remained silent.
Obviously, practicing martial arts with Lottie can be quite a conundrum, because he could just end up losing his wife.
Though Lottie exceled in martial arts, he was not bad.
He wasn’t Mr. Old Chapman’s real blood, but growing up, Old Mr. Chapman groomed him as a real Chapman.
As a part of the richest family in the Rexwell, he would all kinds of problems like being kidnapped or schemed.
So Mr. Old Chapman hired a martial arts teacher and let the Chapman brothers practice since they were four or five, and for this reason, Yank took up with martial arts and became a mercenary later.
Sure Ralph wasn’t a mercenary, but he was quite strong.
He didn’t really think Lottie can be his match.
But…
Well, if he won in their fight, she would either be injured or became gloomy.
If he lost, she would wither taunt him for being weak or deem that he was too incompetent for him.
Ralph frowned.
Deep down, he knew that he can’t take this deal, but…
Ralph lowered his head and looked at Lottie whose eyes filled with expectations and fierceness.
She acted like if he didn’t agree to her decision today, she would never talk to him ever again.
Thinking about this, Ralph let out a sigh subconsciously, “I…”
Lottie glanced at him, “You don’t want to do it?”
“No, of course I would like to do it.”
After weighing pros and cons, Ralph picked an answer that wouldn’t result in any negative impacts for now, “But, I’m afraid that you won’t have any energies to practice martial arts with me after our date.”
Lottie sneered, “My physical strength is far more powerful than you would give credit to me, so what you are hesitating about would never happen.”
“You’ve really thought too much.”
Ralph sneered.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Who was the one that was thinking too much?
Should he remind her how weak she was in bed?
Recalling this, he smiled and went to the car and opened door gracefully, “Miss Owen, please.”
“Since you have agreed to have this date with me, don’t hesitate.”
Lottie was still scheming how to hit Ralph in their practice tonight and didn’t know that she was already in this man’s trap.
Lottie shrugged and got on the car.
“Mrs. Chap… Miss Owen.”
Sitting in the driver seat, Sean greeted nervously.
Lottie nodded and she didn’t hear Sean’s “Mrs. Chap…”
Ralph first took Lottie to a jewelry store.
Standing outside the store, Lottie knitted her brows and glanced at Ralph confusedly.
“Why would we have date here?”
Who would take a woman to a jewelry store on a date?
Shouldn’t be a date both romantic and sweet?
Why was she just standing outside the store and being asked what kind of jewelry is she looking for by a saleswoman?
Ralph took her hand and marched in the store.
“I want you to have a token that comes from me, so I would feel secure.”
Then he went into the store and showed Lottie a jewelry box that he had asked the saleswoman to prepare before, “See if you like it or not.”
Lottie frowned and opened it.
She thought that Ralph would just give her some jewelries like diamonds or gems, but to her surprise, there was a set of silver jewelries in the box which seemed quite out of place.
Ralph helped her to wear the silver necklace and said, “I knew that you have to shed a lot of sweat in the gym every day, so if the jewelries are too fragile, they wouldn’t be functional and if they were too pricy, you wouldn’t be willing to wear them every day.”
“So I customized this set of jewelries. I designed and made them myself.”
“It is one and only in this world.”
“You can do whatever you want. Wear them, toss them or break them.”
“If you want new ones, you can just tell me and I would make new ones for you immediately.”
“Okay?”
Ralph looked quite affectionate, and coupled with his low voice and gentle action, Lottie froze.
She started at Ralph and felt both sweet and gloomy.
Though Elijah had told her that Ralph knew that she was Lottie and not Luciana Owen since the beginning, there were merely three days since he located her.
Did it just take him three days to design the jewelries and make them himself?
“Right.”
The saleswoman seemed to have noticed that she was bewildered and beamed, “Miss Owen, you sure are blessed.”
“I’ve never seen Mr. Chapman do this kind of thing before. He has been burning the midnight oil for the last three days and make these jewelries for you.”
“Actually, this is not the first set. He has probably tried it five or six times. This set is the most perfect one.”
Ralph frowned when he heard the saleswoman’s words.
He rolled his eyes at the saleswoman, “You’ve said too much.”
The saleswoman immediately shut up and before she turned around, she stole a glance at Lottie whose face was covered with scars, birthmarks and blackspots which was truly hideous.
She couldn’t understand how Mr. Chapman fall in love with such an ugly woman!
Mr. Chapman’s ex, Lottie, was one of the most gorgeous actresses in the showbiz!
Thinking about this, the saleswoman turned to Lottie to observe her face again.
Lottie had actually sensed the saleswoman’s gazing.
She shrugged, sneered and murmured, “Well, she is judging me by appearance.”
For she was quite good-looking, she had never felt how someone would feel if she/he was judged by appearances, but now, she finally understood why would someone have social appearance anxiety.
She would even be laughed at for being ugly by a saleswoman even though she was accompanied by Ralph.
How horrible was this world?
Thinking about this, she twitched her mouth and turned to Ralph.
“Am I pretty?”
Ralph smiled and pinched at her delicate face which covered with makeups.
“You are the prettiest one in the world.”
All the people in the jewelry store were stunned by his words.
Someone even filmed their conversations and posted the video on the Internet.
“Amazing! After losing Lottie, Ralph Chapman got an abnormal aesthetic. Was this a distortion of human nature or a moral degeneration? “
