Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 769

Vincent had been to Howard's house three days ago.

Later, he didn't look so good when he came back, so Ruben asked him what had happened, but he blatantly ignored him and went straight to the bathroom to take a bath.

Curious, Ruben immediately replayed the surveillance and footage, only to find that Vincent and Elaine were doing the despicable thing on the sofa.

Vincent scared her out of her wits.

As a result, Vincent left the house frantically and even acted like a big bully, threatening her not to tell anyone about what happened.

Upon thinking of this, Ruben rubbed his chin and wondered if he should check the surveillance again to see what did they do last night.

With determination, Ruben muttered to himself, "I'll check the surveillance and see how was she able to make you sleep by just singing. She's not a mermaid, is she? I bet she spiked your drink without you noticing it."

Vincent frowned, a look of suspicion flashing across his face.

When he woke up on the sofa this morning, he was confused at first and quickly followed by shock. Never did he expect that he would fall asleep unscrupulously.

In fact, it was in such an uncomfortable posture as both of them squeezed in the same sofa for a whole night as if they were warming up each other.

The autumn night was quite cold but the coldness did not wake him up.

On the contrary, he slept soundly for a few hours.

Although it was not long, it was good sleep quality.

He felt even better than sleeping after taking the sleeping pills.

After he woke up, apart from the soreness on his body due to the poor sleeping posture, he felt surprisingly relaxed and refreshed.

It was an extraordinary feeling after a night of excellent sleep quality.

This had been bothering him for the whole day today. Why and how could he fall asleep in that kind of state?

In the study.

As Ruben watched the surveillance replay, he felt confused and complicated.

He had thought that he would see something indescribable, but when he looked at the monitor, what he saw was two people sitting in the dark living room chatting about some boring topics.

This was the ruthless and fearsome Vincent! Why would he chat to Elaine about such boring topics?

Glancing at Vincent several times in disbelief, Ruben stated, "I've checked all the surveillance in every room, and I confirm that she didn't drug you. Are you sure it was not because of the sleeping pill she gave you that made you fall asleep?"

Vincent said faintly, "I took two pills after I came back this morning, and I've been up for the whole day."

What he meant was that even two pills would not be effective on him, let alone one.

Rubbing his chin skeptically, Ruben blurted, "That's weird."

The surveillance video showed that the two of them curled up on the sofa and fell deeply asleep for a few hours.

It wasn't until dawn when Vincent abruptly woke up. After sitting on the sofa for a while, he carried Elaine back to her room and left.

After turning off the video, Ruben thought for a while and raised his eyebrows. "Why don't you give her a try again tonight? Let's see if she can make you fall asleep by singing again and this time, without pill."

Ignoring him, Vincent stood up and began to walk out.

Ruben paused for a moment and asked, "Hey, where are you going?"

"Howard's house."

"D*mn it, wait for me!"

Morgan had already ordered the servants to prepare a feast, waiting for Ruben to bring Vincent downstairs to eat.

Vincent had only a handful of people whom he trusted, and Ruben was one of them.

Therefore, Morgan was convinced that Ruben could persuade Vincent. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Sure enough, when he was thinking about it, footsteps came from the stairs. He hurried over and greeted, "Mr. Bradbury, Mr. Lawson, dinner is ready."

"No thanks." Ruben waved his hand and said, "I have something to do with Vincent, so we'll skip dinner for now."

"What?" Morgan was astounded. "But, Mr. Bradbury, you haven't eaten anything today. Please eat some before going out."

On second thought, Ruben felt that what Morgan said made sense. They should eat some before leaving.

"Why don't we eat first before we go out?" suggested Ruben.

"I'll eat at Howard's house. I like Elaine's cooking." Vincent frowned.

Morgan was speechless.

Ruben was equally dumbfounded.

Now that he had a new target, he even began to dislike his chef's cooking, didn't he?

Shrugging indifferently, Ruben huffed, "Suit yourself. Let's go."

After that, they were about to leave when Morgan sighed and called for Ruben.

"What is it, Morgan?"

Pulling Ruben to the side, Morgan whispered, "Who is the person Mr. Bradbury talked about just now? Is she a Michelin chef? Can you please bring her here? I would like to meet her and let her show us her cooking!"

The picky Vincent actually praised someone's cooking and couldn't wait to go and eat.

She must be a great chef for him to crave it.

Amused, Ruben twitched his lips upon hearing Morgan's request and huffed, "She's just a maid and is incomparable to the Michelin chef you hired from Tagren."

Morgan was taken aback. "S- She must be a hidden master chef, isn't she?"

On the other side of the hall, Vincent shouted impatiently, "Hurry up!"

"She's nothing but an ordinary person." Ruben shouted as he walked away, "It's probably just a spur of the moment. Vincent will be back to normal after a while."

Morgan watched them leave, speechless.

Regardless of what Ruben said, Morgan was convinced that the lady was extraordinary as she managed to attract Vincent's attention.

Ruben was behind the wheels and Vincent sat in the front passenger seat as they turned into the residential area.

"Do we really want to go there empty- handed? Why don't we buy something for her?"

Ruben suggested.

As Vincent thought about it seriously, he said, "Nah." "Why?" "She's a girl. I don't think she likes things like weapons and firearms," Vincent said with a serious expression.

Choking out of shock, Ruben snapped, "I'm talking about ordinary things! Not the bombs and bullets you gave to the firearm dealers! Please use some common sense, okay?"

Confused, Vincent asked, "What do people normally give each other?"

Sighing helplessly, Ruben spat, "You know, fruits and desserts. Forget it. Come with me. I'll take you to the fruit shop to buy something and let you have a taste of the life of a normal person!"

Vincent had been immersed in hazardous life for so long that he had forgotten what was it like to be an ordinary human.

Hence, they spent a lot of time in the fruit shop shopping, and finally, two outstanding men stood in front of Howard's house with a fruit basket in their hands.

"Ding dong ding dong..."

They pressed the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered the door.

Putting the fruit basket on the floor, Ruben put his ear against the door and asked curiously, "No one's home?"

He should have checked the surveillance before coming out to see if Elaine was home.
