Chapter 248 : Is it fun to get married?
Lindsey didn’t bother with his little attempt to stall and asked Edward what was going on.
Bruce told him about the forced marriage, the corners of his mouth lifted in a gloating smile unconsciously. “This will make me force to get the account book yet, probably want to preempt.”
Lindsey looked at him speechlessly: “You actually forced him to call you brother-in-law, it’s so shameless.”
“Shameless what, when grandfather recognized you as a goddaughter, he did not almost become my brother-in-law.” Bruce’s face was indignant, and he felt angry when he talked about it.
Lindsey was silent and whispered to him, “Bruce?”
“Yeah.” Bruce answered and looked away from the window.
Lindsey looked and laughed. “You didn’t think I’d forget about the pole dancing by pretending to be angry, did you.”
“…” Bruce turned back around, an awkward smile on his face. “You really want to dance, huh? Can you change it, look we don’t even have a pole in the room.”
“There are hangers, just use that.” Lindsey arched her eyebrows. “I want to see the mermaid line, see the eight-pack abs, see the biceps.”
“Just to look, don’t you want to taste it at all?” Bruce leaned down and locked eyes with her at close range. “It’s delicious.”
Lindsey’s heart was racing as he looked at her, her pretty face unconsciously floating a layer of scarlet, swallowing hard. “Good jump, maybe I can consider having one.”
“I’ll be sure to work hard.” Bruce said, lowered his head to take her soft lips, extremely entangled full of sucking up.
As he was kissing, there were a few knocks at the door, followed by the maid’s formulaic voice. “Mr. Edward is at the door.”
“Got it …” Bruce reluctantly released Lindsey, got up and went to the desk drawer to get the account book out, opened the door with a black face and went out.
Lindsey lay dazed for a while, came back to her senses, immediately got out of bed and put on a coat, also followed out.
When they came to the courtyard, Edward and Bruce were staring at each other, and their faces did not look good.
The two of them are looking at each other, and they are not looking good.
“Nothing, I just wanted to admire your ID photo together.” Edward spoke sarcastically. “I heard Bruce say that you are not feeling well since you came back from the hospital today, why don’t you get some rest.”
“Nothing, just a little overwhelmed by the sudden departure of Old Mr. Bosh.” Lindsey flipped open the account book, casually scanned it twice, and added, “You want our family’s account book, is it hard to drag Lily and you to register.”
Bruce raised his eyebrows and walked over to Lindsey, thoughtfully helping her pull her coat back up. “I think it’s better to think calmly and clearly about marriage.”
Edward was furious, that’s not what he had said on the phone earlier.
Bruce felt his knife-like gaze, and immediately glared back provocatively. The meaning is clearly in saying, I just go back on my word what, you have the ability to bite me.
The undercurrents between the two, naturally, could not escape Lindsey’s eyes. If it was someone else, she might not have stopped it, after all, no one wants to be the bad guy.
But the object he chose is his own sister, this matter, no matter what she must stop.
Inviting Edward to the living room in the side yard, Lindsey politely gave him a cup of tea and sat aside in silence.
The reddish-brown account book was tossed between her hands, waiting for him to speak up.
Bruce admired Lindsey’s excellent acting skills, and waited idly to see how Edward would respond.
The atmosphere is somewhat depressing, Edward picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, hesitated for a long time before saying quietly: “According to reason, I want to register with Lily, must go through your consent, but I think Lily’s opinion is the most important.”
“So, you are sure that Lily will say yes to you.” Lindsey was noncommittal. “To her, she doesn’t even know what the marriage procedure is.”
“I will explain to her patiently.” Edward raised his eyes and promised solemnly. “If she doesn’t want to after hearing the explanation, I’ll die immediately.”
Lindsey pondered for a second and called the maid to go next door to invite Lily.
While waiting, Bruce got up to make Lindsey a cup of ginseng tea, and thoughtfully rubbed her shoulders.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Edward spent every second like a year, intuiting that Lindsey would not let go so easily. The things she cares about, the people she cares about, she protects more fiercely than anyone else.
Even when Lily was brought back to B City in advance, he had never been so anxious. He even felt that he was like a prisoner awaiting sentencing, trembling and waiting for the verdict.
After five minutes, or even less, Lily yawned and pushed in.
When she saw that Edward was there, she was shocked and then sat down happily.
Unfortunately, just as her buttocks were next to the sofa, she was pulled aside by Lindsey with a serious tone. “We called you over because there is a very serious matter that we need to discuss with you.”
Lily was shocked to find that Lindsey looked wrong and thought she was angry about what happened this afternoon, so she immediately hung her head and weakly apologized. “Sis, I know I’m wrong, I promise not to hit him in the future, even if I do, I won’t treat him like a wild pig.”
Lindsey sniffed, crowing and narrowing her eyes. “You beat Burton like a boar?”
“Well, he’s too annoying for me to like him.” Lily nodded sullenly. “I’ve told you I don’t like him and he keeps pulling my hand.”
“That’s nice of you to type that, but that’s not what we’re talking about today.” Lindsey patted her soothingly and turned the conversation around, “Edward wants to marry you, what do you think.”
“What’s marriage?” Lily looked up at Edward with a blank stare, “Is it something fun.”
Edward was caught by her question, suddenly felt a lack of words, but also understand Lindsey’s concern.
Lily is too simple, if you can’t take care of her for life, Lindsey will never let go of this mouth.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and finally Bruce opened his mouth and reluctantly explained the meaning of marriage.
Lily listened with great interest, finished her eyes glowing at Edward and asked, “Is it that I can follow you wherever you go in the future.”
Edward nodded his head.
Lily thought about it and asked, “Is it that you won’t say anything about me if I hit someone in the future?”
Edward hesitated and nodded again.
“Then if someone pulls my hand in the future, will you help me?”
“In the future, will I be able to make movies and become a star like my sister?”
“Is it that when we get married, we will have little babies like mom and dad?”
“We …” Lily’s questions were one after another, and Edward’s neck was sore from nodding and shaking his head when he heard it later.
However, Lily seems to have not finished asking, on the contrary, Lindsey has listened to some tense want to laugh.
After holding back for a while, she took the initiative to interrupt her chatter, and her eyes fell on Edward. “Edward, you know Lily’s nature, it’s not too late for you to backtrack.”
Edward’s attitude was firm. “I don’t regret it, since I moved this idea, I will spoil her for life, protect her, and not let her suffer even the slightest bit.”
“Vows will be said by anyone, I don’t want to hear this, I want your actual promise.” Lindsey waved her hand, exchanged glances with Bruce without moving, and said, “All the shares of The Hawke family property in your hands must pass into her name.”
Edward was slightly stunned, hesitated and graciously agreed. “No problem.”
“Good, you go back tonight, when you transfer the shares to Lily, I will agree when you go to register.” Lindsey waved a big hand and stood up straight away. “Lily, you go back to bed, Edward will pick you up in a couple of days.”
Lily didn’t understand what they were talking about, and when she heard Lindsey tell her to go back to bed, she stood up happily and ran out of the living room with a leap of faith.
Edward watched her back, disappearing outside the door, and couldn’t help but drop his eyes sadly, his heart felt a kind of indescribable loss.
Lindsey’s back with eyes like a long, footsteps pause, and said: “Edward you also go back to rest, I keep my word.”
Edward raised his head, smiled bitterly at her, got up and opened the door to go out.
As soon as he left, Lindsey instantly slumped her shoulders, leaned lazily into Bruce’s arms, and yawned profusely. “I think he’s going to hate me.”
“No, if he really cared about Lily, he’d probably bring the equity transfer agreement over first thing tomorrow.” Bruce said soothingly, bending down to pick her up and striding back to the bedroom.
Lindsey’s cheeks burned for no apparent reason as she remembered what she had agreed to do.
Back in her room, she got comfortable on the bed and gestured for him to get started.
“I’ll get ready.” Bruce touched his nose, and a strange dark blush rose to his handsome face.
Turning to bring the hangers over, he reached down and tried them on, then walked back to close the door behind him before slowly unbuttoning his shirt.
One, two, three … When the last button was unbuttoned, Lindsey couldn’t help but gulp, and her eyes instantly curved into crescent moons. “Sassy a little …”
Bruce sweated profusely, but still did as she asked and struck a super enchanting pose.
Lindsey held back her laughter, brought her phone from the nightstand, pointed the camera over, and added: “Lift your legs a little higher, keep your hips up, I want to see the mermaid line.”
Bruce stiffened his head and did as he was told, his handsome face bashfully red. “Is that enough?”
“Of course not, come on, smile.” Lindsey giggled. “Wait, I’ll get you a soundtrack.”
Bruce was tossed around enough to hear that the soundtrack was going to be played, so he just stopped dancing and moved closer to the bed with a deep gaze.
Lindsey was flipping through her phone, not noticing his movements, and when she found out, she had already reached the front.
“I haven’t seen enough, you go on.” Reaching out and pushing his motionless body, Lindsey’s cheeks instantly burned red. “No hooliganism, or I won’t eat.”
Bruce’s taut nerves slackened and he cheated, lying still beside her. “I’ll continue when you’ve finished eating.”
Lindsey was about to retort when her mouth was firmly sealed by someone.
Bruce had been putting up with it for a week now, for fear that the two little ones in her belly would get angry.
This will not be easy to beg her willing to eat, it is natural to let her eat enough to do …
