Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 763

"L-Lady of the house?"

Elaine's face turned red in an instant. She stole a glance at Howard and said, "Please don't say that, Mr. Lawson. Others may misunderstand you."

Ruben gave her a strange vibe, so she was a little anxious to know who he was earlier.

Luckily he was not mad at her and her recklessness.

With a smirk, Rube asked, "Howard told me that he likes you. Do you know about it?"

At first, she was only blushing a little, but now her face was as red as a beetroot. She didn't expect that Howard would tell his friend about this.

Bashfully, she stammered, "H-He's just kidding. It's not true..."

Upon seeing her reaction, Ruben laughed. "You're so adorable. I didn't know there is someone as pure as driven snow these days. Look at you, blushing at the word "like". I wonder what will happen when you're making out."

Elaine was so ashamed right now.

Ruben wanted to continue teasing her, but she quickly stood up. "I-1 need to use the bathroom.

Excuse me."

After that, she ran away like a frightened rabbit.

"This little maid is quite cute," Ruben praised.

Vincent glanced at him lightly. "Do you like her?"

"Of course. She's so pure and innocent. I don't have to be defensive when I'm with such a person." Ruben glanced at Vincent and continued, "Don't tell me you don't like her. There's no one this simple and innocent in our treacherous life."

So if he could get acquainted with such a simple person, of course, he would like her.

Vincent said nothing after hearing this. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

After a long while, he blurted, "You can go now."

Ruben nodded, but before leaving, he could not help but advise, "You can take all the revenge you want on the Perkins Family, but leave the maid out of this. She's innocent."

Vincent frowned.

"Okay, fine. I'll stop." Ruben quickly left upon seeing his impatient frown.

When Elaine came out of the bathroom and saw that Howard was alone in the living room, she asked in surprise, "Did your friend leave already?"

Without saying anything, Vincent leaned back on the sofa lazily and stared at her.

Under his gaze, Elaine felt a little restless. "What's wrong?"

After a long while, Vincent said slowly, "Ruben likes you very much."

"Oh. Yes, I like him too. He is very nice."

"Is it?" Vincent asked, "You like him? Do you like me then?"

Why did he come back to this question again?

Looking around uneasily, she changed the topic. "Well, it's getting late. I'll fill up the tub for you."

After that, she quickly ran back to the bathroom.

As he stared at her back and snorted, he prepared to leave when something crossed his mind and took out his phone to call Ruben.

His call was answered almost immediately, "What's up..."

"Will Howard be on duty tonight?"

"How would I know?"

"Call the hospital and ask."

"D*mn it, what do you want to do this time? Are you planning to stay the night?" Ruben frowned and warned, "It's too risky. What if she finds out..."

"Cut the cr*p and go check."

Rolling his eyes in dismay, Ruben ended the call and called the mole whom he placed at Howard's

office.

The mole answered his call with a skeptical tone, "Ruben, why are you calling me this late?"

"Ahem, I just wanted to ask how are you guys with Howard. Did he suspect anything?"

"No. We've all disguised ourselves very well. He won't be able to find out."

"That's good." Ruben added, "What is he doing now? Is he on duty tonight?"

"He just finished an operation and is resting in the office now. I think he has another operation scheduled in the middle of the night, so he probably won't go back tonight."

"Okay, got it."

Ruben hung up the phone and called Vincent again, to which he picked up immediately and huffed, "Talk."

"He won't be back tonight. He's on duty."

"Alright," answered Vincent with an affirmative hum.

Before they ended the call, Ruben quickly added, "Regardless, you have to be careful not to reveal yourself..."

"Beep beep beep..."

The busy tone ruthlessly resonated through the phone.

Ruben stared at the phone helplessly.

After filling up the tub, Elaine shouted as Howard had not come out of the bedroom, "Dr. Perkins, it's ready!"

But there was no response.

Hence, she went to the bedroom and saw Howard standing in front of the wardrobe.

"What's wrong, Dr. Perkins?" Elaine asked, puzzled.

"Did I wear all of these clothes?" 'Howard' asked as soon as Elaine came over.

"Yes, you wore those. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"

Vincent was a germophobe. He would not wear any clothes that had been worn by others.

Hence, he turned and asked, "Is there any clean or brand new clothes?"

"Uh, you want brand new clothes now?"

"Yes."

"But these are all clean. I've washed them all."

Elaine wondered why did he despise these clothes all of a sudden. He never had this problem before.

However, Vincent frowned at the clothes as if he was looking at his enemies.

Only now did he realize that staying the night was a terrible idea.

Although she didn't know what happened to him, she compromised when she saw the deep frown on his forehead. "There's a new bathrobe that you have never worn. Do you want to wear it to sleep tonight?"

"Show me."

She hurriedly retrieved it.

After looking at it, he reluctantly nodded. "Okay, I'll wear this."

Breathing a sigh of relief, she urged, "Please go and take a bath then."

She quietly complained that it was as tiring as tending to a child.

At around 11 pm, Elaine finally went to bed to rest. After a whole day's work, she just wanted to tuck in and sleep.

She closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she fell deeply asleep.

Suddenly, she was awakened by an abrupt noise.

She was in a drowsy daze for a moment before coming to her senses and walked out. of her room. Sure enough, the TV in the living room was on and Howard was sitting on the sofa watching

TV.

Shocked, Elaine asked, "Dr. Perkins, why haven't you slept yet? What happened just now? Did something fall?"

"Did I wake you up?" Vincent's eyes flickered in the darkness. "I accidentally knocked over the mug."

"Oh, I see." When she turned on the warm light, she saw the broken pieces of the mug under the table and quickly cleaned it up.

After that, she looked at the clock on the wall. It was 2 am.

Then, she turned to glance at Howard who looked refreshed in disbelief. "Do you plan to stay up all night?"
