Chapter 6
- How dare this woman teach Alex a lesson?
- Alex's eyes were like stars that have absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon for thousands of years, which looked so cold. Lita's eyes met his eyes, and then quickly moved away from him. She didn't dare to directly look at him. In his eyes, there was a coldness that distanced himself miles away from others.
- What a scary man! Lita's heartbeats almost slipped.
- Alex leaned his tall and straight body over and closed in her with his cold and handsome face.
- "My parents really didn't teach me how to be polite! Why don't you teach me?" The fresh smell of mint in Alex's mouth blew on Lita's face, making her almost-paused heartbeat become faster.
- "I, I won't teach you! You, you go away." The close distance between them embarrassed Lita a lot. Her white, clean face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple.
- Lita pushed Alex away who had a muscular and straight body. she quickly ran upstairs, like a cat whose tail was trampled. In the wedding room.
- It took a long time for Lita to subside. He was such a rude and arrogant guy.
- The wedding bed had been arranged by Alice. It was neat, fresh, and still festive with rose fragrance.
- But thinking of Ethan's horrible appearance last night, Lita patted her chest with lingering fears. It was really scary. His appearance was like a ghost, which made people feel extremely scared.
- Gradually, Lita sighed with self-blame. How could she complain about her husband in her heart? Since she had chosen to marry him, she should face the hardship of life together with him. But Lita was not a goddess, she could also be afraid of difficulties.
- However, she was still a tough woman. She wanted to apologize to Ethan for escaping from the wedding room yesterday.
- He had suffered such a serious burn. As a man who used to be excellent, his heart must have broken down for being in this situation.
- If Lita, his wife, also disliked and even hated him, he would feel even worse!
- The room at the end of a long corridor on the second floor was a gym. Then it was reformed to be Ethan's medical room by Alex with a lot of money. It could keep Ethan from being disturbed by the outside world and staying at home at ease for treatment and rest.
- Lita knocked on the door twice gently. She was cautious and didn't want to disturb Ethan, who was being treated in the medical room.
- Harry looked into the cat's-eye. He then lowered his voice and said to Ethan who was lying on the bed, "It was Miss Lita and she wants to see you."
- Ethan instinctively raised his hand and wanted to touch his own face, but he couldn't fully stretch his arm. Finally, he failed to touch his face. "She'd better not see me! I will definitely scare her out of her wits. By the way, today is the day when Lita should return to her parents home. Let Alex accompany Lita back to the Bishop Family."
- "But Second Young Master has gone to the headquarters after feeding you breakfast." Harry replied.
- "Alas... That guy deliberately ignored Lita." Ethan sighed and said, "By the way, you and Alice should prepare some generous gifts and bring the monetary gift there. Never let the Bishop Family look down on Lita."
- "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master. Second Young Master has left a ten-million Dollar check as a monetary gift." Harry
- "Alex looks cold and fierce, but he still has a conscience this time. I hope that he can have a good start with Lita and fall in love with her as soon as possible." Ethan breathed a sigh of relief. Only in this way could he die peacefully.
- "Turner, please accompany Lita back to the Bishop Family! Speak well of Alex in front of Lita." Ethan reminded him again.
- "I will now send Lita back to the Bishop Family." Harry bowed and left.
- After knocking on the door three times in a row, Lita stopped knocking. She didn't want to disturb Ethan from resting. She just waited quietly outside the medical room. The door opened from the inside. Lita went forward but was stopped outside by Harry.
- "Harry, just want to go inside to greet Ethan, and then apologize to him." The room was dark, and Lita could not see what was going on inside. She can only smell the pungent disinfectant.
- "Mrs. Selmy, the Eldest Young Master is having a sponge bath. It's not convenient for him to see you! He specially asked me to send you back to the Bishop Family." Harry said respectfully.
- At Bishop house.
- Seeing Lita return home alone with a housekeeper, Maria face was cold and gloomy. She turned a blind eye to those expensive tonics and crafts. After all, the Bishop family was also a notable family in Lisbon.
- "Mrs. Bishop, it's inconvenient for our young master to come with us, so he specially asked me to bring a little gift. I hope the Bishop family can accept it."
- When Harry took out the check of ten million dollars, Maria's face suddenly brightened up with joy.
- "Oh, it's too much! Thank you, Mr. Turner. The Selmy family deserves its reputation. They are so generous!" After receiving the check of ten million dollars, Maria's attitude toward Lita was much better. "Lita, please show thanks to Ethan for me when you get back."
- Lita pursed her lips, a little embarrassed, but more distressed. What was happening seemed to corroborate that man's words: The Bishop family would not care whether anybody of the Selmy family paid the visit to them, as long as they could receive money from them.
- "Mrs. Selmy, then I'll come to pick you up for dinner before seven o'clock in the evening," Harrry said humbly.
- "No, thank you. You don't have to come to pick me. I can go back by myself," Lita answered quickly.
- "That won't be appropriate. Mrs. Selmy is a person of exalted position. It's better that I come and pick you up," Harry said in a gentle voice.
- His words of "exalted position" really raised Lita identity, and served the purpose of hitting Maria hard in the face.
- "Mr. Turner, I'll see you off." Maria quickly put on a smile and sent him out. The housekeeper of the Selmy family was certainly worthy of the flattery of the Selmy. The future of the Bishop family was counting on the support of the Selmy family.
- As soon as Harry left, Charlotte ran down from upstairs. She reached out her hand to grab the check from Maria, but Maria warded her off. "This money should be used for your sister's birthday party."
- "Mom, you are always partial to Bella!" Charlotte was unhappy. "How could a birthday party take ten thousand million dollars?"
- "Go away! Your sister is the eldest daughter of our family. Of course, she needs to be properly packaged to be presented in the party. I am counting on her to gain prestige for our family!" Maria snorted softly.
- Lunch time, at the Bishop house.
- Jack, the head of the family, was not there. Five women were sitting at the table, so gossip began naturally.
- "Lita, have you seen Ethan himself? Is his face burnt so hideous?" To enhance the effect of her words, Charlotte made a grimace. Then she asked curiously, "By the way, does he still have his penis? Can you two have sex?"
- "..." This made Lita felt extremely awkward. She chose to remain silent.
- "Charlotte! A lady is not supposed to talk in that way!" Maria scolded her gently.
- Charlotte stuck out her tongue. "No question is necessary now. Just look at her face. It's the look that has never been touched by any man!"
- "It seems that Charlotte is very experienced in this aspect." Lita didn't want to reply to her, but she couldn't help it because Charlotte was too aggressive.
- "Ha-ha." Eva burst out laughing.
- Realizing that she had been mocked, Charlotte immediately got angry because of the embarrassment. "Lita, how dare you make fun of me?"
- "Lita did not make fun of you. It's just that you what you really are!" Eva was usually taciturn, but if she spoke, her words would be as piercing and merciless as a knife.
- "You..." Charlotte was so angry that her face, which was covered with heavy makeup, turned deathly pale. It was a "wonderful" scene.
- "All right, all of you behave yourselves and eat your food!" Maria shouted. The dining table was quiet again. Then she asked again, "By the way, how's Ethan's condition, Lita? Is he burnt seriously?"
- Lita nodded silently.
- "It's best if he could die soon. Then you, Lita, can inherit the Selmy Group." Charlotte sneered again at that.
- Lita felt a pain in her heart. "I'm afraid it's going to disappoint you. My husband is going to live for a long time."
