President's Substitute Wife

Chapter 241 There was a burnt female body on the ship

Murray took the tea and took a sip. He said with satisfaction, “OK, you are my apprentice from now on. You can call me Mr. Moore or master.”

“Then I’ll call you master.”

I thought it was a good name.

Murray looked at me and said, “you took advantage of your face.”

“Face?”

I froze and touched my mask. I didn’t understand what he meant for a moment.

Murray nodded. “You look a little like one of my sisters. What’s more, you act like her.”

At this point, Murray bowed his head to drink all the tea in front of him and poured tea for himself.

I could see Murray was a little sad.

His sister was very important to him. Since he accepted me as an apprentice, he must want to make up for some kind of regret.

I hesitated for a moment and asked, “master, where is your sister now?”

“She’s gone.” Murray shook his head. “Twenty years ago, she left with a man. She never contacted me again.”

“How could this happen? She’s too cruel.” I said.

“No.” Murray interrupted me directly. “She’s not cruel. She just cares how I feel. When she left, she said she would not come back. In that case, we should not contact.”

“Master, you are right.”

I realized that when I said she was not good, Murray would not be happy.

In that case, I dare not express my opinion again.

That afternoon, Murray talked to me about learning. He said he had a studio in a small town on the outskirt of the Carson City and I could study there.

At the same time, if he had a job, he would let me be his assistant. He would pay me and wouldn’t let me have no income.

“Thank you, master.”

I was very grateful to Murray.

I could even foresee that this study may really be a new chance for me.

“Well, don’t thank me. If you are too stupid and don’t study hard, I will drive you away.” Murray pointed to the cup in front of me. “It’s cold.”

I picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. I felt sick at once!

I rushed into the toilet in the teahouse!

I didn’t puke anything.

I rinsed and all of a sudden I had a headache.

So much happened today after I saw Murray. I even forgot that I was pregnant.

How could I tell him about it?

When I went out, Murray didn’t look happy. He looked at me angrily and said, “is my tea so awful that you vomit?”

“No.” I quickly sat down and wiped my hands with a tissue. I looked at Murray in embarrassment. “I forgot to tell you I am pregnant.”

“What?”

“I’m sorry. If you think I’m not qualified to be your apprentice, I don’t blame you. I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”

I lowered my head with guilt and waited for Murray to comment.

“Ha ha.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

It was quiet for a few seconds and then I heard Murray laughing.

I looked up and looked at him incredulously.

Murray laughed for a while and then stopped. He smiled helplessly. “You are pregnant. I didn’t expect that.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I don’t blame you.” Murray made tea and said, “my sister used to vomit like you before she left with that man. At that time, I said that she had gastrointestinal disease. Now I find that I was naive.”

“...”

I didn’t know what to say.

But I suddenly felt that Murray’s sister’s experience might not be simple. According to him, his sister was also pregnant before marriage.

This happened in those days. I was afraid...

“Who is the father of your baby?”

When I was thinking about his sister, Murray asked me.

His question embarrassed me. I hesitated for a moment and told him, “Sean.”

“He?”

“Yes, he doesn’t know I am pregnant. I want to keep this baby.” At this point, I was afraid Murray didn’t agree with me, so I said decisively, “if it’s inconvenient for you, after I give birth...”

“It doesn’t matter,” Murray interrupted me directly. “You can have this baby. If this baby is gifted and learns from me, he will surely succeed when he grows up.”

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from Murray.

Murray and I came out of the teahouse that day and he left first.

The Carson City was warmer than York.

It was not far from my hotel. I went back alone. When I passed a coffee shop, I saw the news on TV.

“Sean, the president of the Giant group, and Cindy, the daughter of Lewis Group, have been married on a private island and are returning home today.”

Hearing Sean’s name, I couldn’t help but stop and look into the cafe. Sean and Cindy were walking down the plane on the big TV screen.

Sean wore a suit and held Cindy’s hand.

They matched very well.

I couldn’t help approaching the coffee shop.

“Wow, they match so well.”

There were four girls at the table next to me in the cafe and one of them said.

“A ship caught fire on their wedding day. There was a burnt female body on the ship. Do you know who she is?” Another girl said.

“Who?”

Then they all asked curiously.

I quickly sat at the table next to them and pretended to look through the menu. I focused on what the girls were saying.

But the girl deliberately lowered her voice.

Although I tried to listen, I only heard the words “Carter Family”, “bride” and “marriage”.

The other girls were shocked.

“My God, she’s so cruel to herself.”

“She shouldn’t have done it. She still has a long life. Why did she commit suicide?”

“Yes, Sean will not be guilty but relaxed after her death.”

I listened to the girls.

My heart hurt a little. They seemed to be right.

Even if Sean misunderstood me, would he just be glad that one of his troubles had gone?

I felt a little sad to think about it.

In order to read the report on the Internet, I ordered a cup of juice in the coffee shop. Then I connected to the wireless network and turned on my cell phone and used keywords to search for news about the ship that was on fire.
