Chapter 239 : Wife Slave
Lindsey took the phone and glanced at the number, saw that it was Larissa, and immediately smiled and connected. “Larissa.”
“Lindsey, help me …,” Larissa said, and the call was unexpectedly disconnected.
Lindsey was shocked, replayed the call, but always prompted that it could not be connected, so immediately got up and ran to the kitchen to find Bruce.
Bruce was looking down into the pot, and when he saw her come in, his handsome face floated into a doting smile. “Hungry?”
“No, it’s Larissa who’s had an accident.” Lindsey simply didn’t sit down and nervously handed over her cell phone. “Check it out.”
“Hold on, I’ll get Hector to check it right away.” Bruce’s face changed slightly, greeted Hector in, roughly described the situation, reassured Lindsey said: “Do not worry, she can call, it means that people at most just want to lure you over.”
Lindsey did not think twice about calling Larissa’s assistant.
It took a long time for the phone to ring and Lindsey was displeased to hear a loud voice on the other side. “Where are you, where is Larissa.”
“Larissa is not with me, she said she was going to meet a friend tonight and asked me not to follow.” The assistant’s voice was loud and it took a while for the music around her to quiet down. “Something’s wrong.”
“Nothing, I couldn’t get through to her on the phone.” Lindsey said perfunctorily and asked, “Did she say where she was going to meet her friend.”
“I think it was a bar called Caesar’s Palace, I’m not really sure.” The assistant finished, smiling and asking a question. “Do you want Larissa for something urgent.”
“No, I’m sorry to bother you, you go on playing.” Lindsey hung up the phone and calmly put down where Larissa was located.
Hector nodded and quickly left the kitchen and went to the garage.
Lindsey sat down worriedly in her chair, hands on her chin to look at Bruce. “I hope Larissa is okay.”
“Don’t worry, Hector’s fast and drives a military vehicle.” Bruce turned back to her and threw her a reassuring look. “Don’t worry too much, the face will be ready in a minute.”
Lindsey nodded, her mind racing with thoughts of who was intent on doing her harm and actually finding Larissa’s head.
If she could find this person, she would have to pick his skin.
After waiting anxiously for a few moments, no news from Hector, but Bruce had already cooked the noodles.
Lindsey could not eat, but in the face of Bruce’s doting gaze, she couldn’t say no.
After taking the chopsticks from him, Lindsey took two bites when a call came in on her cell phone, and without looking, she slid open the answer button. “Hello, this is Lindsey.”
“Young lady, Miss Larissa is fine …,” Hector’s voice was a little muffled. “But …”
“But what.” Lindsey intuited that there was something in his words and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you trying to say.”
This head Hector gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty. “She seems to have been drugged, and I don’t know what to do.”
“Uh …” Lindsey froze, good-natured and funny glance at Bruce, took away the phone to lower his voice: “Larissa was in ecstasy, Hector asked what to do. ”
Bruce has never encountered such a situation, he looked Lindsey in the eyes for a while before saying, “Let him do what he wants to do, better bring it back, or be photographed, Larissa will not be able to mix.”
Lindsey pondered for a second and thought this was the only good way, so she nodded and took her phone back and said as calmly as she could, “You bring her back and take her to that courtyard of yours, preferably your room.”
At this point, what did Hector not understand.
To make sure that Larissa was just drugged, Lindsey’s heart hung in her throat and fell back into her belly, picking up her chopsticks and continuing to eat noodles.
Bruce sat aside in a lazy, casual position, looking at her with one hand on his jaw. “Is it good.”
“Yes, in fact you can ask the logistics to make it for me.” Lindsey took a satisfied sip and looked at him with a smile. “It’s not like I’m picky about what I eat.”
“I’d just like to make it for you myself.” Bruce gazed dotingly. “I remember when you first got here, I couldn’t help but look at you every time you ate, thinking, “You’re such a good eater, how come you can’t get fat.”
“Envy me.” Lindsey rolled her eyes, picked up another chopstick of noodles, and ate happily. “I’m having pizza tomorrow, are you going to make it for me yourself too.”
Bruce nodded thoughtfully, the smile on his lips growing wider and wider.
A short while later, Lindsey ate and drank enough and rubbed her stomach as she returned to the living room.
Bruce simply cleaned up the kitchen and followed her to the living room, sitting next to her and watching the news online.
Probably because she had eaten too much, Lindsey’s stomach was a little upset, and she wanted to go for a walk outside after sitting for a while.
Bruce didn’t complain, and thoughtfully found a knitted shirt for her to wear.
The car’s roar was faintly heard from the courtyard, and Lindsey turned around and smiled meaningfully at Bruce. “Do you think Hector will be able to resist.”
“Shame on you for asking.” Bruce reached out and took her into his arms, rubbing his chin gently on the top of her head. “It just so happens that I haven’t returned to the army in the last few days, and I want to buy a house for each of Cary and the others.”
“You don’t have to ask me about money, Cary and the others are like brothers to you, it would make you feel better to do something for them.” Lindsey tilted her head on his chest and laughed, “You should ask big sister.”
“Don’t mention it, our brother-in-law is definitely a wife control, he follows her everywhere she goes now.” Bruce looked disgusted. “The promised iron-blooded bodyguard, but now it’s a super cook.”
“That’s good, before big sister managed the family business by herself, someone to love her is not good.” Lindsey pinched him and laughed, “What, you’re not used to seeing it.”
Bruce winced in pain and hurriedly denied it. “How can I? I’m going to take lessons from my brother-in-law and try to take good care of you.”
“Poor talker.” Lindsey smiled and walked around the yard, the noodles in her belly were almost digested and she felt sleepy, so she let Bruce carry her to her room and went to sleep.
The next day Lindsey slept until after 9:00 as usual. After getting up and washing up, she slipped on her slippers and went to the training room to keep Bruce company for a while before returning to the dining room to prepare for breakfast.
The old house, in addition to the main courtyard, there are five side yards, Cary, Carl, Hector three live in a courtyard, logistics a courtyard, Bruce himself live in a courtyard, the original Lindsey live in the courtyard to Lily live, the remaining one, is Aurora used to live.
The entire mansion, usually together to prepare breakfast, and the standard is the same, so Lindsey did not worry, Larissa woke up without food.
When they got to the dining room each pulled out a chair and sat down, Bruce peeled two poached eggs for her and just put them down when she saw Larissa walk in with a grimy face, followed by an equally grimy Hector.
“You guys are …” Bruce pretended not to know and looked at Hector with a puzzled expression. “What are you doing together?”
Lindsey almost laughed out loud at his pompous acting skills, but still put on a shocked look on her face and deliberately asked, “Hector, I asked you to pick up someone for me last night, where did you go?”
Before Hector could say anything, Larissa gave him an awkward slap and sat down across from Lindsey.
Lindsey looked at Hector and then at Larissa, trying to keep from laughing, and asked with a concerned face, “What’s going on?”
“It’s too embarrassing not to mention it.” Larissa sighed and turned back to the logistics maid. “Can I have a bowl.”
The maid in the back office nodded, turned around and went to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks, put them down and retreated with good sense.
Lindsey took a spoon and scooped up a mouthful of porridge, eating it as she blew. “Hector, you too sit down and eat your breakfast, we’ll talk about it later.”
Hector pulled back his chair and sat down, looking grave. “Better talk about it now, this Miss Lee said she wants to marry me.”
“Pfft …” Lindsey spewed out her mouthful of porridge and looked at Larissa incredulously. “Larissa, you’re kidding right?”
Larissa’s face floated a trace of embarrassment, snapped, “I’m serious.”
“Stop, you’re serious or not, I’ll ask you why you want to marry him.” Lindsey was in shock. “What happened to you last night.”
“Nothing, I just want to marry him.” Larissa bowed her head, her scarlet ears showing her feelings at the moment, not the usual shyness.
Lindsey insightful, would not be able to guess, and last night put the words so clearly, Hector to so even did not move her, do not really know how to describe.
Bruce has been holding back a laugh, heard here face finally taut, vaguely showing a smile, the line of sight fell to Hector. “You do not want to marry?”
“I …” Hector glanced at Larissa, and felt a dilemma.
Say no to definitely hurt people’s hearts, say yes, they do not have any emotional basis with her, can not do something adult should do, to marry her back it.
Besides, she is still a big star with great fame.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Bruce waited half a day for him to answer, shrugged and added, “Let’s eat breakfast first, and after that let’s work out what to do about this.”
Lindsey gave him a quiet thumbs up from under the table and continued to drink her porridge.
Larissa’s face was on fire, and she lowered her head and ate in silence.
Hector sat dry for a few moments, and then simply took his heart and picked up his chopsticks and ate as well.
After breakfast, the four of them returned to the living room and divided into small groups to talk.
Lindsey led Larissa to the next courtyard and couldn’t help but laugh as soon as she entered. “You say you, have been in this business for how long, how still fell into the way of others.”
“I wasn’t aware of it and was sold by a friend.” Larissa laughed bitterly. “That ex-boyfriend of mine, you still remember, right?”
“I remember a bit, was it your old assistant.” Lindsey dragged her to the gazebo in the courtyard and sat down. “What’s going on.”
Larissa paused, then told how the meeting went last night, mentioning one person in passing – Burton.
Lindsey’s eyelids fluttered as she waited for her to say more.
The company’s former boyfriend, after he quit being an assistant, went to China Star to run distribution, and somehow met Burton. last night, a group of them were drinking at a bar, and they were too bored to call her over.
Larissa has attended many events with Lindsey and donated the start-up funds of Hui Ai, so she has heard about Burton, so she pays extra attention to it.
After accompanying them in the box for a while, Larissa felt the air was a bit stuffy, so she went outside to get some air, who knew that Burton followed her out and forced her to drink half a glass of red wine.
Larissa intuited that something had been added to the wine and ran to the toilet on the pretext of calling Lindsey. What happened later was that Hector took her out of the bar and came straight to Grant Residence.
“Are you sure, only the red wine Burton gave you was mixed with something, the previous drink was not.” Lindsey furrowed her eyebrows, somewhat unable to understand Burton’s intention.
