My Domineering CEO Husband

Early the next morning, the first thing Lottie Green did when she woke up was driving to the hospital to check on the condition of Fabian Chapman.

Last night, after she and Ralph Chapman went home to rest, it was the butler that had been by Starry’s side to take care of him.

Although Lottie Green knew that the butler was a very thoughtful person who had watched Elijah and Fabian grow up together, she was still worried.

She felt uncomfortable when she couldn’t watch Fabian lying peacefully on the hospital bed herself.

When she arrived at the ward, she pushed the door open and walked in as usual .

She thought that the view of the person’s back sitting in the ward was that of the butler, so she opened the door and said,

“Thank you for your hard work. I prepared some porridge for you this morning. Eat it while it’s still hot and go back to rest.”

“Okay, thank you.”

A deep, ancient voice rang out.

Lottie Green’s opened hand paused slightly.

This voice…

No!

Although that voice was very old, it was not the voice of the butler.

The butler’s voice was much hoarser than this.

The woman looked up alertly. “You…”

Before she could finish her words, her pupils suddenly stunned when they captured the old man’s face.

“Father?”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

It was none other than Ralph Chapman’s adoptive father, Mr. Old Chapman.

Mr. Old Chapman was in his seventies. It seemed that he had stayed by Fabian’s bedside for a whole night. His eyes were bloodshot and dark circles were around them.

Lottie Green paused and hurried over to help the old man to his feet. Then she sat down by the table. “Why are you here?”

Last night, it was the butler who was arranged to stay behind and kept the night watch by Ralph.

Mr. Old Chapman picked up the spoon with a smile and began to eat his porridge. He chuckled as he ate. “What’s wrong? Can’t I take care of my grandson?”

As he spoke, he gave Lottie Green a rebuking look. “Do you think of me as an outsider just because you know I’m not Ralph’s biological father?”

Lottie Green paused and hurriedly shook her head. “No, no.”

Neither she nor Ralph Chapman had ever treated him as an outsider.

She had seen how good the old man was to Elijah and Fabian.

Furthermore, Ralph had mentioned that Mr. Old Chapman treated him well.

This was also the reason why Ralph Chapman still had the surname Chapman despite knowing that he was a member of the Barton family. He was also willing to let go of the DS Group in Odense and return to Rexwell to help with the Chapman Group.

That was because Ralph Chapman had said that Yank Chapman was dead and the only heir of the Chapman family was Kayden Chapman.

Kayden Chapman was so sloppy that he couldn’t calm down to work.

Therefore, he wanted to continue to help run the Chapman Group until Kayden Chapman was willing to take over the Chapman business.

In short…

Neither Lottie Green nor Ralph Chapman showed the slightest disrespect to Mr. Old Chapman.

“No?”

The old man snorted, “Then why didn’t you tell me such a big matter as Fabian’s illness?”

Lottie Green paused and could only bite her lip silently. “It’s because I thought… you just lost a son…”

With the death of Yank Chapman, Mr. Old Chapman should be the one suffering the most, right?

Mr. Old Chapman sighed. “Yank…”

He turned to look at Lottie Green. “Do you know why Yank had this name?”

Lottie Green paused and shook her head.

Mr. Old Chapman heaved a long sigh. “Because his biological father’s surname is Lee.”

Lottie Green’s eyes widened instantly. “You mean…”

“He is the son of my deceased wife and another man.”

Mr. Old Chapman’s words caused Lottie Green’s entire head to buzz.

She looked at his face in a daze and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

She already knew that Ralph was not his biological son.

But she had never thought that even Yank was not one of them too.

“Are you shocked?”

Mr. Old Chapman sighed. He looked into the distance and said indifferently, “My wife betrayed me. I’ve been kept in the dark.”

“It was only when Yank was seven years old and she had a terminal illness that she told me the truth before she died.”

“Yank is a child with great self-esteem. For the sake of not harming him, I have been concealing this matter from him the entire time.”

“But I don’t feel good either. When I think of how my wife betrayed me and gave birth to him…”

“I just can’t treat him like how I treat Kayden Chapman’s father.”

Lottie Green bit her lip and carefully said, “But…”

Wasn’t Ralph Chapman the same…

Mr. Old Chapman knew what she was thinking and shook his head. “Ralph Chapman is different.”

As he spoke, Mr. Old Chapman raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lottie Green. “Everyone says that I’m old and shameless. I’m almost fifty years old and married a twenty-year-old girl. I’m in a May-December romance.”

“However, no one knows that there’s nothing happened between Ralph Chapman’s mother and I at all.”

Lottie Green was stunned.

What Mr. Old Chapman said to her today shocked her greatly. “Then you…”

“I pitied her and the her un-born child, so I agreed to marry her. I promised to raise her son after her death.”

Lowering his head and eating his porridge, Mr. Old Chapman explained, “Ralph Chapman’s biological father is called Aiden, and there weren’t many people that could compete with him when it comes to business.”

“Your father Jerry Bell and mother Yuki together… can only be a tie with him.”

Lottie Green pursed her lips. “Then he…”

Lottie Green had actually heard some rumors about Alfred Barton’s biological father.

It was said that he had died long ago.

“Those who are too outstanding will be envied by others.”

“Not only will they be jealous, but they will also be wanted by some women.”

Mr. Old Chapman closed his eyes and sighed heavily. “In fact, Aiden and Jenna Lauby used to be a enviable couple.”

“Jenna Lauby is an orphan. She was adopted by the Bells since she was a child. Like your adoptive father Arthur Bell, she is also Jerry Bell’s good friend.”

“At a business banquet, she met Aiden. They fell in love and got married.”

“In order to repay the Bells for raising Jenna Lauby, Aiden asked the Bartons and the Bells to get engaged. He also promised that if the Bells was in trouble in the future, the day of the engagement would be the day that the Bartons poured out all their wealth to help the Bells.”

Lottie Green bit her lip.

Previously, she had always been curious about why Eric had always said that as long as the Bells and the Bartons united by marriage, the Bartons would be able to help the Bells get through this crisis.

At that time, she had thought that even if the marriage was arranged, the Bartons wouldn’t have to help the Bells.

Mr. Old Chapman’s explanation had solved her doubts that had plagued her for quite some time.

But…

“Then… how did Mr. Aiden die?”

“He’s the same as Ralph Chapman. Not only is he outstanding in his abilities, but he’s also handsome.”

Mr. Old Chapman sighed and shook his head in resignation. He sighed as he ate his porridge.

“Later on, he encountered a woman. That woman would do anything to get him.”

“For the sake of seducing him, she even changed her name to Jenna Kennedy like Jenna Lauby.”
