Chapter 56 I'm Sure She Can Afford It
Chapter 56 I'm Sure She Can Afford It
Charles Mu got up early in the morning for there were tons of stuff waiting for him to deal with in the
company, so naturally he couldn't stayed with Linda even if he wanted to.
Charles Mu fondled Linda's head and left a kiss on her fair forehead.
Looking at Linda who still wrapped herself tightly, Charles Mu once again felt the tenderness racing
through his veins. But he didn't have the heart to spoil her sweet dream.
"Just control yourself and save the rest for the day she marries me." Charles Mu warned himself under
his breath.
Then he almost immediately began to regret the decision of forcing himself to act like a gentleman.
After telling Bun to prepare something delicious for Linda's lunch, Charles Mu left the villa with Paul.
It had already passed eleven when Linda finally woke up.
After several stretches, Linda struggled to get herself out of the bed. Damn that Charles Mu! Then she
cried out at the door, "Bun, come quick and give me some help, I am dying here."
Three seconds later, the door was pushed open, and Bun showed up by the door.
Bun giggled and came in to help Linda up while staring at Linda's neck.
Linda felt she was getting goose bumps all over, "What are looking at? Bun, is there something on my
neck?"
Bun then nodded and burst into giggles again, "Yeah. There surely is."
Linda suddenly had a really bad feeling. Regardless of her sore waist and legs, Linda jumped up and
dashed toward the mirror in the bathroom.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
And then she was shocked by what she saw in the mirror, which seemed like hundreds of kiss marks
around her neck. What the hell did Charles Mu do to her?
How was she suppose to see anyone with all these marks...
"My Lady, is Young Master making some kind of announcement? By sealing you up with all these
marks?"
"Away with you! Just go and find me something with high-collar! How can I walk around like this
ahhhh!" Linda gave Bun a glare and then groaned and buried herself under the quilt again.
Linda was too exhausted to lift a finger, but meanwhile, she was starved to death. All she ever wanted
for the moment was that Bun could bring the lunch up and feed her on the bed.
"Well, My Lady. Lord Shen was here with Sarah Shen earlier in the morning. They are still waiting in the
living room. Would you like to see them?"
Asked Bun while searching the closet for high-collar clothing.
"They are here?"
It looked like Lord Shen really took this seriously.
After trying on the clothing Bun fetched for her, Linda felt it really strange to walk around in high-collars
in such a warm day.
Linda sighed and then told Bun to find her a scarf, which could both cover the kiss marks and go well
with her outfit.
Then she was stunned once again when she found there were marks on her arms as well.
However, it was alright since she could wear long sleeve.
Then Linda went downstairs to meet the Shens. Though Sarah Shen were still holding a grudge
against Linda and Bun, she wouldn't dare defy her grandfather and had to apologize to them
reluctantly.
Bun knew Lord Shen was a decent man, and he was so sincere as to personally bring his
granddaughter to apologize to her. So Bun decided to put the whole thing behind them. Lord Shen then
promised in relief that he would be stricter to Sarah Shen, and send her back to the police officers
academy for another year for her own good.
And then Sarah Shen, the Deputy Director-General of Municipal Public Security Bureau, was officially
off duty.
However, Linda could never forget the way Sarah Shen looked at her when she was about to leave the
villa.
It was a vicious and resentful glare.
Though it was not likely that Sarah Shen dared fight back directly, Linda knew there would be lots of
unavoidable troubles between them in the future.
And she had to be more careful about this.
Linda had her lunch after the Shens left. Soon after she finished, Linda felt drowsy again. So she went
back upstairs to take a nap.
And Charles Mu had already come back when she woke up again.
He was sitting on the couch with the laptop on his lap. On the screen was the stock chart of the Mu
group.
"You're awake?"
Hearing the noise from the bed, Charles Mu then turned his head and asked.
Hum?" answered Linda with a nod.
Reaching out her fairly white arms to stretch herself, Linda then finally felt like herself.
"Hope I didn't wear you out last night, " said Charles Mu while squinting at Linda. His jet-black eyes
were full of teasing, which was annoyingly flirting.
"Have you got nothing better to do?" replied Linda while getting herself out of the bed. Then she reach
for the bottle of water on the table and took a giant gulp. She could totally go back to sleep if she was
not starving...
Linda was having a good appetite that day. It had only been a few hours after her lunch, and she was
hungry again. Perhaps it's because her body still hadn't recovered from last night?
"How about we go out for dinner tonight?"
Charles Mu closed his laptop and then walked toward Linda. He carried Linda back to the couch and
then put her on his lap.
Linda let out a terrified scream, but then soon gave up and sat docilely on Charles Mu's thighs. She
wouldn't dare to move around.
What if he was turned on again...
She was too fragile to afford another round after last night.
"Tonight?" Linda looked up at the clock on the wall, which showed that it was not yet 4 P.M.. Then she
suddenly thought of her foster mother.
Ever since Linda went back to the Xia clan and agreed to the betrothal with Charles Mu, Johnson Xia
had transferred Linda's foster mother to the best hospital in the city for her follow-up therapies.
However, Linda hadn't gotten around to visit her so far.
Besides, her sister Cindy Xie was abroad for the moment. Linda knew her foster mother must felt so
lonely without her daughters around.
"Before that, can you come with me to visit my mother? I haven't seen her for quite a while. I wonder if
she's getting better these days."
Charles Mu knew she was talking about her foster mother.
He nodded while fondling Linda's head, "Wherever you go, I'll be there for you. But considering that it's
my first time to meet my mother-in-law, should I bring some fruits or flowers or something like that?"
"Haha, no need to stick to the etiquette... Just cash will do..."
Charles Mu was at a loss for words.
After getting dressed, Linda then went to the so-called "best hospital" with Charles Mu. Only the closer
Linda approached her mother's ward, the more shocked she became... Was this shabby place...
The so-called best hospital? The best facility?
Linda tried so hard not to burst into a fury as she focused on searching for her mother's ward.
Before she opened the door, Linda heard a man inside, who was the last man that she ever want to talk
to in the entire world.
"Sister, you can't do this to me! I'm your very own brother! Come on, just lend me 300, 000. And it's
not your money anyway. We both know that Linda has married to a wealthy guy, and I'm sure 300, 000
is just a piece of cake to her."
