Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife novel Chapter 98

Lorenzo had been resisting the urge to call Jessica these days. He wanted to know how Jessica was but he didn't have the courage to contact her. He dared not listen to her description of the injury. In order to resist the impulse, he increased the workload desperately, which caused complaints from his men.

Instead of restraining himself, he must check to see how she was today.

He flicked her skirt aside to reveal her smooth skin. Lorenzo looked at her shoulders closely and found that the scars had healed completely, with her skin as white as snow.

"All right, just put me down and stop it." Blushing, Jessica pulled his big hand off and put on her skirt quickly.

"You’re sure you’re okay now?" Lorenzo said with guilty, looking at Jessica's face.

"Well, it really doesn't matter. It's not a big deal. I’ve daubed the ointment and most of the wounds have healed. There’s just slight pain at the hollow of my neck." Jessica knew that Lorenzo was still worried so she led his hand to touch the her lower neck.

Lorenzo knew it was the place where he had bitten hard. Although it had healed, the scars were still there. It could be imagined how crazy he was on that night.

"Jessica, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry..." Lorenzo lowered his head, attached his face to Jessica's scar and kissed her devotedly with his thin lips. His heart was broken. What did he do to his little girl? He was such a jerk.

An apology was not enough to express Lorenzo's remorse. But he didn’t know what to say.  

"Well, Mr. Fletcher, don’t do that again." Jessica looked at Lorenzo and smiled.

"I swear it won't happen again. If I..." Lorenzo smirked, with the corners of his mouth turning up and then he griped Jessica's earlobe gently.

“Well... Come on, Mr. Fletcher. What kind of abstinence male god you are." As if she was electrocuted, Jessica flared back, raised her hand in anger and then smashed Lorenzo in the chest.

"Do you like it?" Lorenzo chuckled and looked down from Jessica's face. Jessica had never been treated like that before. She was so shy. Her slender white legs were still folded at his waist. Lorenzo held her tightly so that she could be attached to him.

"Hum! You went too far that night. Weren't you bad?" Jessica looked up at Lorenzo defiantly.

"You probably haven't really seen how bad I can be. My office is soundproof and it's big enough. Oh, it has a gym, too. Do you want to see how bad I can be?"

The elevator stopped and Lorenzo walked out with her in his arms.

Jessica was speechless. She was not able to win the paronomasia so she cleared her throat and continued to speak.

"Mr. Fletcher, you... you like pretty young girls so much that I fear you will rise to the bait when I get old and other little girls flirt with you."

Lorenzo looked very mature, arrogant and reserved while what he liked were cute comely ladies. Well, he was too powerful to find a woman as powerful as he was. Men at his position could afford to be picky.

Right now she's Lorenzo's cup of tea but she couldn’t stay young and beautiful for the rest of her life.

"What are you worried about? Surely there are some young girls flirting with me but I’m not interested at all. It's not the age that I like. It's my wife who happens to be at this age. That's all."   Lorenzo gazed at her fondly.

That was so sweet that Jessica couldn’t help being happy. Her Mr. Fletcher’s sweet words were as overbearing as him.

In the CEO office

This was the first time Jessica came to the Fletcher Group and followed Lorenzo into the CEO office. It’s such a treasure place. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Jessica had a bird's eye view of the whole city.

The CEO office was on the top floor of the Fletcher Group, towering above the clouds and overlooking everything around.

Jessica was enjoying the beautiful scenery when her mobile phone rang and it’s her twitter.

"Are out of your mind! Jessica! Why are you with CEO of the Fletcher Group? Aren't you already married? What's going on?" Summer saw a picture with a description and it freaked her out.

The photo was pretty clear-Lorenzo picked her up in the lobby.

"How did you know that? " Jessica was very surprised and hurried to reply.

"I happen to be running errands near the Fletcher Group. All of a sudden, I saw a great bustle on the other side of the hall so I went to have a look. Oh my God, it was such a feast for my eyes."

"I wanted to go inside to see what was going on but was stopped by the security."

"What's the matter with you? You’re so dead if your husband knows it." Summer started texting excitedly.

Jessica was so dizzy that she didn't know what to say. What if she told her that Lorenzo was her terminally ill and sadistic husband?

"It's kind of complicated in general. It’s hard to explain it to you on the phone. I'll tell you all about it when I meet you next time."

Summer was always curious but Jessica must have said that for a reason so she just stopped asking.

Oh, my gosh!

Jessica had an intimate relationship with Lorenzo, CEO of the Fletcher Group, the eldest grandson of The Fletcher Family, one of Ameriart's four powerful families.

That was so crazy!

Summer put her cell phone in her pocket. When she was about to turn around and leave. She was stopped before she walked not more than 100 meters from the building.

"Summer, what are you doing at the Fletcher Group?"

Lachlan pulled up his commercial vehicle beside Summer and took a look at the Fletcher Group.

Their marriage was decided by their elders but he had always looked down upon Summer and they had conflicts frequently so Summer broke off the engagement bluntly.

Summer knew it was not appropriate to tell him such important things because he was out of whack since he fell in love and was turning round that pretentious Leila all the time. If he knew Jessica's private affairs, he would bother Jessica and Leila would certainly make things worse.

Summer and Jessica were good friends so she couldn’t put her in danger.

"Lachlan , didn’t I make it clear last time? I'm done with you. It’s none of your business. Don't cross the line. Aren’t you afraid Leila would see you talking to me. Aren’t you ashamed?" Summer didn't want to talk to him.

"I think we would at least dissolve the marriage formally since our it was decided by our seniors. I happen to want to go back to the Stevens residence.Why don’t you join me?" Lachlan said when Summer was about to leave.

"Whatever." Anyway, it's a free ride and the sooner they talked about it, the better life would be.

"What are you doing? This is not the way to the Stevens residence! Stop!" Summer realized something was wrong but by the time she tried to stop the car it had already driven a long way.

"Well, well, well." Lachlan sneered and grabbed her phone and then took a screenshot of the page that had not been closed quickly and sent it to Leila.

He had read the thumbnails and the conversations in detail. He laughed unbridledly.

"Bastard! How dare you! Give it back!"

The commercial vehicle pulled out in the emergency lane suddenly, flashing.

"Get out! You make me sick! You think you deserve to sit in my car! Well, you’re welcome. This is the middle of the highway and... It's only a few hours away from the rest stop. You may take this opportunity to lose some weight, pig. Oh, remember to cover your fat face so that passers-by would not feel sick!"

The moment the car stopped, Lachlan looked at Summer with disgust. And then the door went up automatically and he pushed Summer out of the passenger seat suddenly.
