Chapter 114 Is This God’s Will?
“Lottie, if anything happens to Eira and Claudia, I won’t let you get away with this!”
Kevin talked tough before he left.
Lottie stood where she was and watched as he helped Eira leave. Her eyes gradually turned icy.
After a while, her cell phone rang. It was from Fabian.
She was aware that he must have been waiting anxiously at the gate of the police station.
As she hung up the phone, she turned around, and strode out of the police station.
“Mr. Chapman, what are you looking at?”
“Nothing.”
In a corner of the police station, Yank moved away his gaze. He asked, “What is that woman doing here?”
The person at the side said carelessly as he was staring after Lottie. “Oh, she’s here to make a statement. Her friend was kidnapped and abused yesterday.”
The man nodded and turned to look at the people around him. “Sorry about her friend. What about her? Is she all right?”
“Come on, look at her, do you think she’s not good?”
The man was amused by him. “Mr. Chapman, you’ve been single for almost 40 years. Why are you suddenly interested in such a young girl?”
Yank also glanced at him coldly.
The atmosphere around them turned strained.
Once the man realized, he coughed awkwardly. “I’m just curious about why you suddenly care about a stranger.”
“She’s not a stranger. I’ve seen her before.”
Yank frowned and once again turned his eyes in the direction where Lottie had left.
But it seemed that she no longer remembered him.
Five years ago, she… Did she really forget everything?
…
Outside the police station.
Lottie opened the door and got into the car.
“Mommy, Daddy just called and asked us to go to grandpa’s house now!”
As soon as she got in the car, Fabian couldn’t wait to say, “Daddy is waiting for us at the door there!”
Lottie nodded and subconsciously glanced at her clothes. “Is it… appropriate for me to wear this?”
Although she had seen Mr. Chapman before, it was the first time she had seen Ralph’s two brothers.
Ralph was born when Mr. Chapman was in his forties.
Although he was 28 now, his two brothers were already in their middle age. Even his second brother was almost 40 years old.
Lottie always felt pretty stressed when she met his two brothers.
“It’s fine!”
Fabian smiled and said, “Mommy, don’t be afraid! Uncles are not bad guys!”
After that, he looked up at Elijah, who was sitting in the passenger seat. “Brother, don’t you think so?”
Elijah, who was sunk into his thought, looking into the distance, came to his senses. “Yes.”
“That’s a happy decision. Let’s go!”
Fabian smiled and said, “Sir, fuel up!”
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the old Chapman’s house.
Lottie got out of the car and looked at the marvellous villa in front of her. She felt a great deal of pressure.
“Let’s go.”
The man’s deep voice rang in her ears.
She was stunned and subconsciously turned to trace the voice.
It was Ralph in a black suit, standing two steps away from her.
He was tall and his back was straightened, exuding an elegant and cold temperament.
The noon sunshine made him more distinguished and charming.
He reached out a hand to her.
Holding his hand, she was still uneasy.
Sensing her tension, the man smiled faintly. “Relax.”
Lottie’s mind was wandering as she bit her lips. How could…
Then they entered the old house.
In the living room of the house, an old man was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
A middle-aged couple was sitting on the sofa on his left. It seemed that they were Kayden’s parents.
At this time, the woman in the middle-aged couple complained a little, “Ralph didn’t bring his wife back to see us after he got married. He didn’t take us seriously at all.”
“Now just because he said that he wanted to announce something, we must postpone the arranged things to wait for him here!”
“Sure enough, he’s the future patriarch. But don’t you think he’s too bad-tempered?”
“Quiet.”
Ank, who was beside her, frowned impatiently. “Ralph has his own considerations in everything he does. He is still young. As his elder brother, so what if we make some compromises?”
Lancy snorted unhappily, “You’ve given him the right to inherit the group. How much more do you want to compromise?”
From afar, Lottie could hear their quarrel.
The woman’s heart sunk slightly.
It seemed… Ralph did not have a good relationship with his family…
“Uncle, Auntie!”
Fabian rolled his eyes and then ran toward them, yelling.
A clear child’s voice broke the tense atmosphere in the living room.
Fabian threw himself into Lancy’s arms with a smile. “I miss you so much!”
The little fellow’s coquettish voice eased Lancy’s expression.
She liked children. No matter how much she hated Ralph, she could not hate his child.
She smiled and held Fabian in her arms. “Do you really miss me?”
“Of course!”
Fabian smiled and raised his hand to touch her face. “Auntie, you look much younger this time!”
Lancy was overjoyed by the compliment and completely forgot the quarrel with Ank.
“Ralph.”
Ank stood up and looked at Ralph with a smile.
“Uh huh.”
Ralph walked over with Lottie in hand and introduced her in a calm voice, “Brother, this is my wife, Lottie.”
“Lottie, this is my elder brother, Ank.”
“This is my elder Sister-in-law, Lancy.”
Lottie said, stiffened. “Hello, glad to see you.”
Ank smiled and nodded. “You’re pretty. Oh, youth!”
“I’m so flattered, Ank,” Lottie replied honestly.
“You’re the same age as Kayden.”
Lancy looked at Lottie contemptuously. “What do you do?”
“Now I am an actress.”
“An actress?”
Lancy raised her eyebrows at once. “Why?”
“It’s hard to find a good girl in that circle.”
After that, she rolled her eyes at Lottie. “Listen to me. Quit your job. It’s better to go home and take care of Ralph’s children.”
“Besides, Ralph wants a nanny to take care of the two children and he found you, didn’t he? Is he willing to let you work in that circle?”
“Ah-!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Fabian, who was in her arms, “accidentally” knocked over a cup of hot tea.
“I’m sorry, auntie.”
Fabian looked apologetic and almost cried with grievance. “I didn’t mean to…”
Lancy pursed her lips gloomily and put Fabian on the sofa. “I’ll change my clothes.”
After she left, Ank looked at Lottie with some embarrassment. “Don’t take it to heart. Your sister-in-law always talks like this. She was offensive, but kind in her inner side.”
Lottie pursed her lips. “It’s fine.”
“Alright.”
The old man said, “Everyone takes your seat.”
Only then did Ralph pull Lottie to sit down on the right side of the old man.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Where’s your another brother?”
“He went to the police station early in the morning.”
As the old man spoke, he looked down at the time and said, “He’s coming back soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the car stopping came from outside the door.
Not long after, a tall figure came in from outside.
“He is here.”
Ralph reminded her in a low voice.
Lottie quickly stood up and was about to say hello to him.
Raising her head, she looked at the man in front of her. ‘What a coincidence!’
Yank also paused slightly when he saw Lottie.
Why was she here?
“Brother.”
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Ralph frowned. “This is my wife, Lottie.”
Lottie snapped back to reality and greeted him politely, “Hello, nice to meet you.”
“Okay…”
Yank’s expression instantly stiffened as he looked at Lottie’s face.
She had married Ralph…
Was it destiny?
Or did Ralph find out something…
