Chapter 304 : The big con man
Lindsey shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t think I know him, but I met him in Africa with Edward and the others.”
“The pitiful ah …” Bruce face floating playful smile, narrowed his eyes seriously to look at the man.
He said well, what H descendants of the family consortium so powerful, but also tens of billions of dollars in size.
The man’s mood was affected by the commotion he caused. Bruce pursed his lips unintentionally and greeted Mr. Raines to the elegant room.
When he turned around, he suddenly heard a low, mellow man’s voice coming from him. “Lindsey, long time no see.”
The corners of Lindsey’s mouth twitched, and she raised her eyes lazily. “Mr. Adrian long time no see.”
“And this is?” Adrian’s eyes fell on Bruce, and his thin lips curled wickedly. “Why don’t you see your lover, Edward?”
Lindsey sniffed, three black lines instantly hung on her forehead, and said depressingly, “Where is your butler, has he changed again, or can’t afford to hire one.”
Adrian’s face changed slightly, but he recovered in just a moment and smiled flirtatiously: “Guess.”
Lindsey said, “I’m not going to guess!” Lindsey turned around and dragged Bruce towards the elegant room.
Adrian narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin habitually, his eyes chasing her back, his lips raised in an ambiguous smile.
What a coincidence that he met Lindsey right after he got jet lagged, only he didn’t know who the man beside her really was.
At this time Bruce in the elegant room is also inquiring about the exact identity of Adrian, the tone is very sour.
Lindsey quietly teased him about the process of meeting him in Africa, including how he became a member of the clubhouse.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“So that’s how it is.” Bruce’s deep eyes flashed with surprise, and he changed the subject to talk about business with Mr. Raines.
Lindsey stayed by the side for a while, got up and went to the lounge area behind the screen to make tea.
She doesn’t care about business matters, and she doesn’t like to pry.
A short while later, the food ordered was served, Lindsey came out of the screen and sat beside Bruce in a good manner. The food was very light and delicious, so she couldn’t help but eat it.
When she was almost done eating, the waiter came and knocked on the door, saying that there was a guest in the next room who wanted to see Lindsey.
“No.” Lindsey put down her chopsticks, and her tone was a bit cold. “Tell that gentleman for me that we don’t know each other well.”
Bruce stopped his chopsticks, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, gently coaxing, “Don’t be angry with that kind of person.”
The waiter answered politely and gently retreated.
The door closed and Lindsey looked up at Mr. Raines and apologized, “I hope I’m not disturbing Mr. Raines.”
“Not at all.” Mr. Raines smiled and continued to eat.
In the next room, Adrian was leaning casually on the couch in front of the window with a glass of wine, squinting at the chrysanthemums blooming outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Lindsey does not want to see himself, he is not at all surprised.
But he was very curious about the men around her, and especially wanted to know if Lindsey was married to Edward today.
In order to find out information about Lindsey’s side man, Adrian raised his hand to look at the time, deliberately left the elegant room, and deliberately went to sit in the lobby to wait.
Unfortunately, he waited for nearly an hour, Lindsey and the two men still did not come out. He had no choice but to call a waiter, give a generous tip, and pretend to casually inquire about the news.
The waiter collected the tip and informed with a decent smile, “The guests in the Supreme Room have already left.”
The corner of Adrian’s mouth twitched, and he almost couldn’t resist taking back the tip he gave out.
He returned to the elegant room, seeing that it was not early, he made a casual excuse to leave.
After getting into the car, Adrian unbuttoned his chest in annoyance and told Augustine, who was both the driver and his partner, to drive.
“What’s wrong? Those tycoons have no intention to cooperate, or something went wrong.” Augustine looked at him with a depressed face and couldn’t help but laugh, “These people are not easy to fool now, we have to be a little patient.”
“I met an old acquaintance.” Adrian casually took a bottle of water and unscrewed it, and took a big gulp. “That pesky nurse we met in Africa.”
“Lindsey?” said Augustine, startled. “We can’t be that unlucky.”
Adrian threw him a: you tell me. look and instinctively rubbed his temples. “But the man she’s with tonight, it’s not Edward.”
“I think it’s better to readjust our plan, or at least figure out who she is now, and the social connections.” Augustine was still afraid of Lindsey, back in Africa, if she hadn’t been nosy, they wouldn’t have lost a lot of money.
“I know.” Adrian turned his head to look out of the window, his thin lips tightly pursed into a raw, straight line.
At the same time, The Grant family’s old house.
Bruce sat beside Lindsey, clutching his penlight, casually inquiring about Adrian’s news.
“He’s not from H. He was just adopted by H. abroad as a child, and that so-called consortium, according to Edward, is just a bakery.” Lindsey was a little confused as to why he was asking this. “You seem very interested in him.”
“He’s the one who’s interested in you.” Bruce reached over her shoulder and said seriously, “I have to know my enemy.”
Lindsey sniffed and couldn’t help but laugh at him for making a big deal out of it.
“Whenever you’re involved, it’s a big deal to me.” Bruce planted a quick kiss on her forehead, then picked her up and strode back to her room.
He didn’t turn on the headlights, but instead set Lindsey down in the dark and held her tightly in his arms, laughing softly. “Keep your eyes closed.”
“What again?” Lindsey obediently closed her eyes, curious about what surprise he had in store for her.
The last time he asked her to close her eyes was for fireworks, and the two of them had only gone out in the afternoon, so there was no telling what kind of tricks he might have up his sleeve in such a short time.
Bruce saw that she obediently closed her eyes, the corners of his lips pleasantly hooked up, a few steps over to pick up the remote control, turned on the star lights just finished installing.
The orange light is dotted with stars, making the atmosphere in the room extra romantic.
Putting down the remote control, he walked towards her with a smile and spoke softly, “You can open your eyes now.”
Lindsey obediently opened her eyes and was instantly moved by the look.
When she was at the clubhouse, she only mentioned the dream bar she had been to at the time when she was talking about Adrian, but she didn’t expect that he would get himself into the bedroom after such a short time.
“How did you do that?” Lindsey happily hugged him, stood on tiptoe and kissed him fiercely. “It only took a moment.”
Bruce but smiled, a big hand fished, easily fixed her to his chest, lowered his head and kissed her deeply on the lips.
As long as she is happy, what is buying a few lights …
Bruce’s leave ended the next day and he returned to military school early. lindsey slept until almost ten o’clock, woke up, ate breakfast, went to the hospital to visit The Hawke family Old Mr. Grant, and then left for Fragrant Garden.
Charlotte was having her monthly baby, and her sister-in-law and nanny were there to help, as well as her in-laws.
Lindsey teased her a bit and told her why she was here.
Charlotte is a businesswoman, and although she didn’t agree with Lindsey’s idea of running a charity hospital, she still offered a lot of useful advice.
After talking about business, she turned to the subject and asked what was going on with Hailie.
“I don’t know, she seems to be interested in Bruce, she went to Nine Lakes Mountain several times before to see grandpa, and yesterday she even bought a parrot to give, but grandpa ignored her.” Speaking of Hailie, Lindsey was depressed. “I’m going crazy with her.”
“Bruce has a sense of proportion, you can rest assured of that.” Charlotte thought about it for a while and said comfortingly, “Grandpa will be waiting for his great-grandson, and It’s no good for anyone to go looking for it.”
“Do you know her?” That said, Lindsey was still not very reassured. “She’s a lot more dangerous than Aurora.”
Charlotte was deeply concerned about her statement, but not too worried. “”Even if it’s dangerous, she can’t take your place, so don’t think too much about it.”
Lindsey said with a grimace. “It’s weird not to want to when your own man is being missed every day.”
“Pfft …” Charlotte saw her grunt in exasperation and couldn’t help but lose her smile. “You’re pregnant syndrome, right? Why don’t you wait until next weekend, I’ll ask her to come over to the house and talk to her.”
“No, I don’t want to be the butt of everyone’s jokes after dinner.” Lindsey waved her hand firmly. “I know how Bruce treats me, I know how she treats me, but it’s just that she’s always stirring things up for no reason, and I still feel bad.”
Charlotte laughed again and turned to talk to her about parenting.
Lindsey had studied nursing after all, and the conversation was a no-brainer, word for word.
Lindsey stayed at Fragrant Garden for lunch and received a call from Edward, so she went down the hill early.
When she arrived at the appointed place, Larissa and Karen were there, chatting with Lily about something, and they were laughing and trembling.
Lindsey said hello, casually pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Edward suspiciously. “What did Adrian tell you.”
“He wants me to throw him a reception and introduce him to some of his rich friends.” Edward raised his eyes to look at her, his expression tangled as if he had been struck by lightning. “Do you think he’s out of his mind.”
Lindsey burst out laughing without any image. “I think it might be.”
Edward put both hands on the table, and dismissed the subject, talking about the public hospital project.
This project has been planned for more than half a month, the application procedures are almost done, as long as the direction is determined, it will soon be able to let go and do it.
“I just went to see Miss Charlotte, she also raised a lot of advice.” Speaking of business, Lindsey’s face immediately returned to a serious demeanor. “But she didn’t recommend locating in a township that is too remote.”
“Oh …” Edward raised his eyebrows curiously and asked, “What’s the reason.”
Lindsey was about to open her mouth to explain when the door to the tea room was suddenly and rudely pushed open, followed by Adrian’s slightly husky, low voice ringing in her ears. “What a coincidence, you two.”
“Mr. Adrian, didn’t anyone teach you to knock when you come in?” Edward sank his face and stared at him with displeasure. “Please get out.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Larissa and the others also gathered around and glared at Adrian.
Hector moved to Lindsey’s side without moving and asked, “Should I throw it out?”
Lindsey turned her head to look at Adrian, a sweet, harmless smile floating on her face. “Yes, better throw it far away.”
