The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Bruce didn’t say anything, but circled the plane.

Once back beside Terence, he thought for a moment and his eyes fell on Lindsey’s face. “Lindsey, do you dare to sit?”

“You’re driving?” Lindsey was amazed at how she hadn’t known he could fly a plane.

“Of course I’m flying it.” Bruce smiled again, his deep starry eyes glowing in the clear glow of the moonlight. “You can say no.”

Lindsey saw his look of calm confidence and was naturally defiant. “That’s fine with me.”

The smile on Bruce’s face widened a little as he took a few steps to her and fiercely took her into his arms. In this world, she was the only one who trusted herself unconditionally, whether it was with the rehab of her legs or at this moment.

Seeing the two hugging endlessly, Terence on the sidelines had to raise a voice to warn. “Let’s get started, it won’t be good if someone finds out later.”

“Don’t worry, I had Jack say hello before I came.” Bruce let go of Lindsey and looked at Terence calmly, “I may be going back to the army soon, Grandpa has asked me to experience the air force.”

Lindsey was appalled that he was only now telling himself such important news. But the next moment, she looked at the steely gaze in his eyes and was instantly relieved.

He was a soldier, and it was only a matter of time before he returned as soon as his physical condition allowed.

Considering that the fighter planes were too noisy to take off at night, a helicopter gunship was used instead. Bruce was the main pilot, Terence was his co-pilot and Lindsey and Cary sat in the back of the cabin.

The old helicopter lifted off the tarmac as the propellers spun and the outline of the base grew faint.

Lindsey withdrew her gaze and fell in fascination with Bruce, her whole being mesmerised by the rigour he exuded.

She could see that he was a skilled driver, but it was the soldier’s sense of irony that really struck her.

She loved him like this, and loved him differently in every way.

The plane flew for more than half an hour, and Lindsey watched it for more than half an hour, feeling so full of happiness that it seemed like it would overflow at any moment.

When she landed, she was still in a frenzy of ecstasy and kissed him passionately on the lips, despite the presence of others.

Bruce deepened the kiss a little. After an unknown amount of time, he finally released her with a sullen smile, “Why are you so forward?”

“You’re so handsome.” Lindsey gasped and leaned back into his arms, blushing. “Handsome enough to make you want to go crazy.”

“Then go crazy, but first we have to get out of here.” Bruce rubbed the top of her head dotingly, his low, pleasant laugh, again. “Was it enjoyable.”

“Awesome.” Lindsey’s excitement finally calmed down a little and she splayed her arms around his waist and didn’t let go. “Go back and show me in your uniform.”

“Okay.” Bruce answered with a satisfied voice, suddenly bending down to pick her up and getting into the car with a leisurely stride.

Lindsey was so sore the next day she could barely get out of bed, her little face buried deep in the pillow, complaining pitifully of his brutality.

“Next time I promise to be lighter.” Bruce wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to, not knowing who it was that had forced him to wear his uniform, and then teased him afterwards.

After lying in bed for half an hour, Bruce got up and washed up, then went to get some ointment to remove the bruises and apply it to her.

Lindsey was lying on her back, not daring to move, and her waist was covered in the bruises he had left last night.

Lindsey grunted unconsciously, her eyes closed as she complained. “It’s all your fault.”

Bruce stifled a laugh as he finished smearing her with the ointment and couldn’t resist leaning in to kiss her earlobe. “You get some more sleep, I’m going to the office.”

“Go ahead, I’m up too.” Lindsey struggled to reach for her nightgown and slip it on, her legs trembling as she got out of bed.

Bruce, distraught at the sight, simply carried her to the bathroom and thoughtfully squeezed her toothpaste.

“You can go now, I’m not that fragile.” Lindsey blushed, looked down and picked up her glass of water and began to rinse her mouth.

Bruce stood behind her for a moment, watching, and reluctantly turned to go out.

Lindsey ate her breakfast and asked Hector to drive her back to the American Academy to follow up on the event.

At 10 o’clock, Jesse, whom I had met earlier, reappeared, dressed in a khaki jumpsuit, red high heels, long hair slicked back, and a light make-up look that was unmistakably handsome.

Lindsey raised her eyebrows with a smile and politely extended her hand. “Hi, I’m Lindsey.”

“Jesse,” Jesse said with a deep smile on his hooked lips. “Want to join us for lunch?”

“It’s on me.” Lindsey winked at her. “But there’s work to be done, so I might have to ask you to wait.”

“OK,” Jesse lifted his chin, gave her a natural pat on the shoulder, and turned his head away.

Lindsey watched her walk away and shrugged unconsciously. This Miss Shen was obviously much cuter than Aurora.

Today’s activity was a tour of the school’s history museum, with special docents, and Lindsey was not required to do anything. After accompanying the members of the exchange group, the group moved on to the gallery of outstanding students’ work from previous years, and by the time they finished it was after 12 noon.

With the school leaders and student representatives in tow, Lindsey let Assistant Chen know and walked briskly to Jesse’s car, which was parked in the parking area.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lindsey looked down and fastened her seatbelt, smiling, “Just ask for anything you want to eat.”

“Vegetarian, Bruce owns that place and I haven’t been there a few times.” Jesse smiled back. “Should I call you sister-in-law, or by your first name.”

“Call me by my first name.” Lindsey looked at her sideways, thoughtfully. “Or, if you want to call me a mistress, that’s fine.”

Jesse snorted, laughing outright. “That’s very honest of you, but Edward and I aren’t engaged, and the old man in my family had that intention, and I declined.”

Lindsey pursed her lips and fell silent.

Refusing and still deliberately seeking herself out, was she trying to give Edward the wrong idea?Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

But was it necessary to do so?

“It’s not about you, it’s about me not wanting to.” Jesse looked as if he had read her mind and mockingly curled his lips. “It’s no fun marrying a man whose heart isn’t in his own.”

Lindsey was stunned, then laughed.

It sounded just like Charlotte. She hadn’t asked Edward what exactly The Gomez family was all about, but she knew that the one leading the cabinet members, whose surname was Gomez, was inextricably linked to today’s president.

Jesse has no pretensions, unlike Aurora and Phoebe, who look down on everyone from above.

For that matter, Lindsey was more than willing to engage with her.

As soon as the manager saw Lindsey and Jesse beside her, he greeted her warmly.

Lindsey nodded at him and, together with Jesse, followed him to the best room.

Taking their seats, Jesse accepted the tea from the tea boy and took an elegant sip. “Before you came along, Old Mr. Grant had intended for me to go out with Bruce.”

“But you didn’t.” Lindsey took a sip of tea as well and gently set her cup down. “You went to me that day on purpose.”

“Uh …” Jesse flinched, then let out a petulant laugh. “It’s not good to be too smart, it’s better to be confused.”

Lindsey was noncommittal, but didn’t contradict her either.

After a few moments of small talk, the manager came over and knocked on the door, in a very difficult tone. “Young lady, Miss The Palvin family would like to see you.”

Aurora? Lindsey raised an eyebrow, intuiting that this was not going to be easy. Before she could say anything, she heard Jesse say, “No, your young lady is receiving an honoured guest, tell her that if The Palvin family doesn’t want to save face, I’ll do it for her any time she wants.”

The manager answered, his footsteps following him as he walked away.

Lindsey raised an eyebrow, finding Jesse more and more interesting. “That Miss Aurora doesn’t have a very good temper.”

“I have a bad temper, too.” Jesse laughed. “There are two mountains in the H military, The Grant family and The Gregor family, but the others don’t have the right to walk around town. Unless you have the skills of The Depp family.”

The Depp family, the family that Edward said he was in trouble with, and Bruce’s look when he heard Kayden’s name.

Jesse deliberately didn’t go on, just looked at her with a playful look in his eyes.

There was no family in B City that had ever married a commoner. The previous scandal was so big that many people were waiting to see her swept away by The Grant family. Instead, she is officially engaged to Bruce.

Those who had bet on The Palvin family to win lost their bets.

The Hawke family, the leading businessmen, and Old Mr. Grant, who had previously opposed Edward’s relationship with her, return from a stay in hospital and let Edward take care of her. She was curious as to what was going on here.

But Lindsey, unlike those girls, is not asking questions about The Depp family’s origins, which is interesting.

She might not have had the strength to do so.

After all, there is nothing new under the sun, and no one knows about Rodolfo’s visit to Nine Lakes to propose a marriage.

In this world, there is no fear of the rich and powerful bullying others, but of the insane.

After a few moments of silence, a few of the restaurant’s signature dishes were served and Lindsey politely invited Jesse to the table. “Miss Shen has come all this way to see me, so I guess it’s not just for a meal.”

“I kinda like you.” Jesse hooked his lips slightly. “Let’s play together at Miss Si Charlotte’s course sometime, and I’ll teach you to play golf.”

“Good idea.” Lindsey raised an eyebrow and smiled easily away.

Jesse was funny and articulate and the meal was not boring at all.

Midway through the meal Bruce called and Lindsey said where she was, jokingly with a smile. “Bruce.”

Bruce said something that made Lindsey giggle, hung up the phone and looked at Jesse with arched eyebrows. “Bruce asked me to say hello for him.”

“Insincere.” Jesse joked, just as a call came in on his phone, leaving Lindsey his mobile number and leaving early.

Lindsey checked the time and wandered out of the elegant room into the cloisters.

Bruce wasn’t due to arrive for another twenty minutes, and she had to wait for him.

“Not bad for climbing back into The Gomez family,” Aurora said as she came from the other end, looking at her with disdain. “Don’t think you’re engaged to The Grant family, no formalities, no wedding, just a love child, to put it bluntly.”

Lindsey lifted her chin in a smirk, meeting her gaze with a good-natured smile and a breezy lift of her lips. “That doesn’t seem to matter to Miss Aurora, I’m happy to.”

Aurora sulked, the more she looked at her the more she felt she was holding her breath. “It’s a lot more than that, Bruce, I’m married, we’ll see.”
