Chapter 259 : Birthday
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Randy’s face, and he nodded sullenly before turning around and getting into his car.
Bruce watched his car leave, and turned back to the living room with weak steps.
Lindsey had already taken a shower and was reading something on her laptop.
“I remember you love lamb kebabs, want to eat some more?” Bruce sat down curtly and gave her a gentle squeeze on the shoulder. “Tomorrow is fine too.”
Lindsey gave him a blank look and shook her head gently. “No, I don’t want to, I’ll get tired of eating too much.”
Bruce leaned over pitifully and begged, “Once, just once, okay.”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“No, pampering won’t work either.” Lindsey pushed him away and scolded him with a laugh, “You’re acting like a child.”
Bruce didn’t think so, leaning lazily on the back of the sofa and winking at her ambiguously. “People say that only in front of the woman they love deeply will a man show his childish side.”
Lindsey was just about to tease him a bit when unexpectedly a call suddenly came in on her phone.
After taking the phone and looking at the number, Lindsey picked up the phone with a raised eyebrow.
The call was from Larissa, who had gone to the military hospital after she left the meeting because she was unsure, but she didn’t expect to meet The Palvin family.
“Are you sure the person who is sick is Old Mr. Palvin?” Lindsey asked, turning back to Bruce.
On this end, Larissa was laughing very freely. “I’m sure it was, I asked specifically, it was said to be a heart attack, and the situation seems to be very dangerous.”
“Dangerous is not my business, you are fine to go back to rest early.” Lindsey finished, suddenly smiled meaningfully. “Was it Hector who sent you there.”
“Uh …” Larissa flinched, dropped a sentence and hung up the phone.
Lindsey takes the phone away and laughs as she tells Bruce about Hector taking Larissa to the hospital and asks him if there’s any chance these two could make it work.
“You should have cared about me first.” Bruce reached over and pulled her to him. “I thought about it …”
“Stop it.” Lindsey blushed and looked at him, a gleam floating in her clear eyes. “I want to see you do a strip show.”
Bruce froze for a second and responded by whirling around and hugging her back to the bedroom.
The next day they slept until almost noon, ate, then got in the car and left for Nine Lakes Mountain.
Old Mr. Grant also knew about Old Mr. Palvin’s illness and the trouble they had encountered yesterday, and his face was grim and frightening.
After confirming that what Aurora had put there did not affect the fetus, Old Mr. Grant’s face eased a bit, while assigning two more guards to Lindsey.
“Grandpa, I can’t go to work like this.” Lindsey screamed. “My co-workers will be curious.”
“No guards. And they know you’re The Grant family.” Old Mr. Grant’s face sank. “That’s a deal.”
Lindsey had no choice but to agree.
After a brief lunch, the Palvin family called and asked if Old Mr. Grant had time to meet with Aurora.
“Poisoning an active duty officer in public, I’ll shoot that guy once I see him!” Old Mr. Grant said, and hung up the phone.
Aurora’s mistake is not as simple as jealousy, Randy is now a divisional commander, and Bruce is back in the army and is a lieutenant colonel.
After this incident, Lindsey also feels more and more cautious, no matter what she eats or what she does, she has to be extra careful.
Old Mr. Grant so big temper, a large part of the reason is because they have the Grant family’s flesh and blood in their bellies, fortunately there is no accident, otherwise it is destined to set off a fierce storm.
This time, Old Mr. Palvin fell ill, Old Mr. Grant did not even let Jack to visit, the depth of grievances can be seen.
And Old Mr. Grant’s attitude, to a large extent, has shaped the attitude of The Grant family. Not only that, I heard that The Gregor family also did not arrange someone to go to pay their respects.
At the same time by the two top families abandoned, The Palvin family overnight, the status directly to the bottom.
But Lindsey did not care about this, from the nine lakes mountain back, she was so focused on studying Bruce’s gift to herself, almost did not open it.
“You can not understand the research, I do not know what is the principle, after setting only when the time comes it will automatically open.” Bruce looked at her with amusement. “Take a break and let’s go watch the puppies in the backyard.”
“No look.” Lindsey doesn’t look up.
Bruce laughs again. “Then I’ll dance for you.”
“No look.” Lindsey finished with an immediate response. “Okay, wow.”
“But you said you wouldn’t watch.” Bruce played the bummer. “I don’t want to dance now either.”
“You really don’t want to dance?” Lindsey wouldn’t let go. “Don’t sleep with me at night if you don’t dance.”
“Okay, I’ll dance …” Bruce stood up speechlessly and dragged her to the training room with him.
The temperature in the training room was a little cooler as it was raining outside, and Bruce went to get a thin blanket for Lindsey to cover her legs before she started doing her fitness training.
Lindsey watched for a while, found that he was coaxing himself to play, and suddenly became angry. “If you don’t dance, I’m leaving.”
Bruce collapsed and began to slowly unbutton his shirt, wiggling his hips hard. “That’s okay, right?”
“Strip show …,” Lindsey said beautifully, pulling out her phone and pointing the camera past her, lips upturned. “You fooled me yesterday, it’s only been less than a minute of dancing.”
Bruce secretly screamed, began to sell the dance up. He did the same thing once, and returned to Lindsey with a red face. “You can pass, right?”
“Barely. …” Lindsey put away her phone and gave him a generous kiss.
Bruce pounced on her for a moment to rest, raised his hand to check the time, and suggested going out to dinner.
“Well, I haven’t had Thai food in a long time, so let’s go out for Thai food tonight.” Lindsey turned her head to look out the window and her little face scrunched up in a flash. “But it’s raining outside.”
“What does it matter if it’s raining, it’s not like you have to walk there.” Bruce smiled and kissed her on the cheek. “Before dinner, I have one more gift for you.”
“How much money do you have to burn your hands?” Lindsey didn’t appreciate it at all. “It’s not like I love these.”
“Shhh …” Bruce made an ambiguous gesture of silence and suddenly lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.
Lindsey was so dazed by his kiss that she didn’t even know how to leave the training room afterwards.
The two of them went out and got into the car and left directly for the suburbs.
Lindsey took a look and guessed that he might be taking himself to the flight base he had been to last time, but how could he have guessed that Bruce had actually bought a plane for himself.
“Are you sure you want to be so high profile?” Lindsey looked at the helicopter with her name on it and was in a trance like a dream. “It’s too extravagant.”
“Not extravagant, it’s not enough to give you anything as nice as that.” Bruce smiled dotingly. “With the helicopter, you won’t have to worry about future activities of Hui Ai if they require immediate surgery.”
Lindsey, although she thought his idea was good, was still a little worried.
It’s not that you can’t have a private jet, but this thing doesn’t seem to serve any purpose in the country other than to show off your wealth.
After a second of calm consideration, she couldn’t help but ask, “But it’s hard to apply for the flight procedures, and by the time they’re done, I guess the patient’s surgery will be over.”
Bruce was amused by her bubbling silly look. “Silly, you forget what our grandfather does, the procedures are already done, when you get your license, this plane can take off anytime, and every airport will cooperate if you need to refuel in the middle of the flight.”
“I love you so much!” Lindsey almost jumped up and down with joy. “I can get Edward to come for the license too, preferably the whole group, so that if there is an unexpected situation, everyone can operate.”
Bruce was not too happy to see her so happy, and then nodded with a smile.
After receiving the gift, Lindsey was in such a good mood that she forgot that it was her birthday.
After leaving the flight base, the two of them went straight to the Thai restaurant as soon as they got back to the city.
Lindsey sat down and grabbed her phone, flipping through the photos of the plane, not noticing that the restaurant’s lights had been completely turned off at some point.
When Lindsey reacted, Bruce had disappeared too.
Turned his head to look around, only the window through the faint light, vaguely illuminate a row of tables and chairs in front of the window, not even a ghostly figure.
Lindsey was alarmed, and suddenly panicked, shouted: “Bruce, where are you, do not scare me.”
The words just fell, the large space suddenly lit up a ray of light, Bruce pushed the cart, softly humming the birthday song, slowly from the direction of the kitchen over.
The candlelight swayed, and Bruce’s handsome and stunning face looked charming and emotional in the candlelight.
Lindsey looked at him foolishly, her eyes became a little moist, slowly covering her mouth, afraid she would scream out.
“Happy birthday …” Bruce pushed the cake to her, leaned over and tenderly planted a kiss on her forehead. “My little princess.”
“Meat …,” Lindsey cried and laughed, moved to fling herself into his arms. “Why didn’t you tell me in advance, scared the hell out of me.”
“There’s no surprise if I tell you.” Bruce carefully wiped away her tears and pulled her back down. “Make a wish.”
Lindsey raised her eyes to meet his and gently closed them.
After a moment, she opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile. “There you go.”
Bruce reached up and rubbed the top of her head, smiling, “Okay, let’s blow out the candles together.”
Lindsey agreed with a smile and joined him in quickly blowing out the candles.
Suddenly, all the lights came back on and Larissa and Edward each walked in with a gift. She was followed by Karen and Lily, as well as Hector and the rest of the group, congratulating her.
“You guys are so not friends enough to help him hide it from me.” Lindsey accepts their gifts openly, smiling with tears in her eyes. “Who are your friends, anyway.”
“All of them, of course.” Edward embraced Lily and sat down, smiling mischievously. “Wouldn’t you say so, brother-in-law.”
Bruce responded nonchalantly and asked, “Who told you guys I was here to celebrate her birthday.”
