The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Lindsey narrowed her eyes and just stared straight at her. She saw obsession, jealousy, and a hint of provocation in her eyes.

She didn’t love Bruce, but how many couples in this town’s family circles were united by love.

The Grant family may not need outside help to strengthen their existing position, but The Palvin family must want to find a tree to fall back on.

If, as Jesse says, there are only a few families that can walk across the street, the rest are just a nice way to talk about it.

So if The Palvin family wanted to keep their glory, a marriage with The Grant family would be the smartest option.

“Scared?” Aurora snorted coldly and slowly approached her. “If I want it, I can’t get it.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“There’s one thing you’ll never get.” Lindsey hooked her lips tamely. “Bruce’s heart.”

With those words, Lindsey ignored her no longer and turned to exit the cloister.

She believed that Bruce would never change his mind about her, but she couldn’t believe that Kaley wouldn’t interfere if The Palvin family continued to posture for a marriage.

Burton was back in B, and Bruce would never let him get involved in business, even if he had to go back to the army.

Behind him, there was Charlotte.

It was a woman who was as tough as a man, and she protected Bruce as if he were her own brother.

Lindsey didn’t walk fast, and Aurora didn’t chase after her, just watched in silence as she walked away.

Jesse, now a gold medal interpreter for the Foreign Office, would put his face down and have dinner with Lindsey, she was indeed surprised, even a little jealous.

The Palvin family’s status in the military was only a nice thing to say, it was not even on the same level as The Grant family, or even The Hawke family, which was a little less impressive.

If it wasn’t for their grandfather’s friendship with Old Mr. Grant, the Palvin family would not have been able to get ahead on their own.

So, she married Bruce for her own selfish reasons and for the sake of her family.

Even if … even if he doesn’t love her!

Lindsey exited the courtyard just as Bruce’s car arrived.

Raising a smile, she got into the car as if nothing had happened and naturally took his hand in hers. “How do you arrange Burton.”

“Housekeeping.” Bruce gave a breezy answer, moving to scoop her up on his lap. “I just agreed to him being in the company, I didn’t agree to put him in management.”

“That’s harsh, so be careful Kaley doesn’t take offense and turn around and sue Grandpa to make him feel bad.” Lindsey couldn’t help but laugh. “Burton must regret coming back dead.”

“It’s better to be dead.” Bruce tilted his head slightly and kissed her chin delicately. “Did the Gomez family give you a hard time?”

Lindsey shook her head and told him what the party had talked about, not mentioning meeting Aurora.

There was nothing they could do to stop Kaley from doing what he wanted, he was the elder after all.

Even if they were disrespectful, there was still Old Mr. Grant upstairs to do justice, so it wasn’t their turn to tell them what to do as juniors.

“That girl is the most compatible with her big sister, so I’m not surprised you’re not in trouble.” Bruce glanced at Cary and bit Lindsey’s neck with a little more force. “Are you busy this afternoon, if not I’ll take you out.”

Lindsey lifted her hand to look at her watch and got off his lap, pulling out her phone to look through her work schedule and shook her head. “Nothing much else, it’s a networking meeting this afternoon and Professor Lee’s granddaughter and her boyfriend are in charge of taking notes.”

Bruce licked the corners of his lips in a parting shot and instructed the driver to stop, followed by a change of clothes, leaving Lindsey and Cary to go down first.

Lindsey knew at a glance that he must have come prepared and had to reassure Cary quietly that he would be fine with himself.

Cary nodded bitterly, barked a few words and got into another car to turn around and leave.

Lindsey got into the passenger seat and smiled as she surveyed the side of his face. “Cary must be devastated inside that you don’t want him to follow when you’ve only just recovered from your injury.”

“Did you expect him to tag along and be a light bulb?” Bruce gave her a sideways glance, his eyes doting on her as he continued to control the wheel smoothly.

Lindsey shook his head with a wry smile and narrowed his eyes in comfort.

Since he’d recovered, he’d become a lot more lively and his old nature was coming out.

She liked the way he looked, the twilight gone and the deadly gloom gone.

In this respect, the influence of family on a person is still very important.

Admiral Gu is usually unsmiling, but he is extremely strict with him, especially in dealing with people.

Kaley is equally strict with Burton, on the other hand.

All she is subjected to is hook, line and sinker, all for profit. But if she had been more far-sighted, the Burton of today would have been Bruce’s most solid right-hand man, a good brother to rival him, not a villain with a dark hand in his back.

“Aren’t you curious where I’m taking you?” Bruce was slightly disconcerted to see that she was falling asleep. “Well at least ask.”

“So, Mr. Unhappy, where are you going to take me.” Lindsey pulled back into her thoughts and opened her eyes to look at him with a smile. “It’s all going out of town, you’re not planning on not coming back tonight are you.”

“What’s the point of coming back tomorrow, Saturday.” Bruce raised the corners of his lips and kept increasing the speed of the car. “I told Grandpa I’d be back tomorrow to keep him company.”

So he’d said hello to Old Mr. Grant, no wonder Cary hadn’t been so adamant about stopping him, Lindsey curled her lips and turned sideways, gazing at him wisely. “Bruce, you’re not thinking …”

“Couldn’t I?” Bruce grinned with lustful intensity. “You happen to be visiting relatives on the days I go to Hong Kong Island.”

Lindsey’s cheeks burned and she simply stopped talking.

The beast …

She knew there must be something wrong with him for asking her that last night, not that he was actually going to take her there.

Bruce saw her blush and his mood grew more and more pleasant.

After a long walk out of town, the car finally pulled into the meadow.

Bruce pulled the car to a shady stop and looked at her with a sullen smile. “No going back for the night, Hector’s a hundred metres away and won’t bother coming over.”

Lindsey raised an eyebrow, got out of the car and suddenly grabbed him by the collar, pressing him into the car, picking his chin up with the other and looking at him with a provocative gaze. “You sure you don’t want to go back?”

“Not going back.” Bruce caught her hand and gently took it into his mouth.

Lindsey’s heart fluttered and she rose on her tiptoes to kiss him.

Bruce smiled dumbly and took the initiative to deepen the kiss. After the kiss, he took her in his arms and slowly stepped over the fragrant ground towards the lake a short distance away.

The sun was warm and the breeze was cool against her ears from afar.

Lindsey took a few steps, then suddenly broke his grip and leapt deftly onto his back. “Carry me.”

“Okay.” Bruce laughed and picked her up and ran into the wind.

Lindsey giggled, and the moment she landed, she pinned him to the grass and kissed him again.

Bruce responded passionately and took a long time to let her go, relaxing and staring at the blue sky overhead. “Before I went to L City, Cary asked me what I would do if I never got up. I was actually planning at that point that if Claus couldn’t do anything about it, I wouldn’t live.”

Lindsey’s heart fluttered and she tilted her head to rest on his smoothly heaving chest and sighed quietly.

She thought he would never tell himself how much those ordeals really hurt.

“Master Roy had seen me after I returned home and he gave me one word, wait.” Bruce rubbed the top of her head and laughed hoarsely in his voice. “I didn’t know what he wanted me to wait for until I met you in L city and bumped into your compassion-filled eyes.”

Lindsey sniffed and subconsciously lifted her head, her eyes burning into his. “So you checked my ancestry and lied to Old Mr. Grant about me being a girlfriend, huh?”

“Well, now I am.” Bruce rolled over and pinned her to him, gazing deep into her stunning face. “You lied to me too, why didn’t you say so.”

“Turning over old scores.” Lindsey pushed him. “Stop it, there are herders nearby.”

“What are you thinking.” Bruce’s eyes deepened and he rolled over to lie on his side of her, squinting happily. “You can’t get away today anyway, you promised me last night.”

Lindsey was speechless, could you not promise at a time like that.

After a few moments of lying down, the two sat up and snuggled up to watch the sun set on the other side of the lake.

The atmosphere was warm and peaceful as they didn’t have to worry about anyone spying on his recovered secret or disturbing him.

Lindsey hadn’t had much rest during the night and fell asleep against his shoulder, waking up to a dark sky, a full moon and a bright starry night.

Bruce carried her back to the car and brought out the dinner he had prepared. The two of them sat on the roof of the car and ate, unable to resist kissing again in one place.

Getting off the roof, Lindsey was just about to get into the car when she was pressed against him and the kisses fell again.

He lifted her legs and kissed her neck, joining her heavily. The cool breeze rises, each other’s gasps amplify in her ears, and passion burns like fire.

Calming down, Lindsey hung over him, still panting slightly. “Bruce …”

“Be good, no one will see.” Bruce nibbled on her soft earlobe, lowering his voice to a muffled laugh. “Is it exciting.”

“Mmmm …” Lindsey responded in a sheepish voice, her face scrunching up when she didn’t expect him to launch another attack. “I’ll see how you live when you’re back in the army if you’re so unrestrained.”

“So eat enough before you go back, it’ll be at least six months before I see you again.” Bruce picked her up and got into the car, lowering the seat and pressing her down heavily. “Call out for a husband.”

“Beautiful you.” Lindsey grunted thinly, wrapping her arms helplessly around his neck.

Bruce’s force grew heavier and by the time it was over they were both drenched in sweat, the clear glow of the moonlight spilling overhead, the vast, unseen meadow extraordinarily still.

Lindsey rested for a while, put her skirt back together and fell into a deep sleep on top of him.

After a dreamless night, the two woke up in the morning, went to the lake, washed their faces and drove back to B City.

When they arrived at Nine Lakes Hill, Old Mr. Grant had just returned from his morning walk and, upon seeing them, he looked better and told the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

After eating and talking about Old Mr. Palvin’s birthday, Old Mr. Grant pondered for a long time and said, “There aren’t many old guys left, I’ll definitely go back, Lindsey, have you finished writing the words Professor Lee asked you to write?”

“It’s done, I was thinking of giving it to you to look over.” Lindsey curled her lip. “I figured you wouldn’t read it even if I gave it to you.”

Old Mr. Grant flinched, then laughed. “Not reading it, Professor Lee bet me that your writing wasn’t good.”

Lindsey snorted and raised an eyebrow at Bruce in triumph. “Then don’t read it, Grandpa’s sure to win that’s all.”

Old Mr. Grant was in a good mood and had Jack set up the chess board again and asked Lindsey to play with him.

Lindsey didn’t dare refuse and played until noon, when she had lunch before heading back down the hill to the old house.

When the two entered and got out of the car, Carl hurried up with a dark face and lowered his voice to whisper in Bruce’s ear. “Cary’s hurt.”
