President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 249

I was not a girl who was just in love.

I had forgotten Sean.

But when I looked at him, I couldn’t help but panic.

Sean’s car was advanced and sound proof. In the quiet car, I could hear my heart beating!

He looked at me and I got more and more flustered. My face was getting red.

I heard the sound of the seat belt when I thought he was going to kiss me.

He sat back and there was a smile in his eyes. He asked me, “are you a little disappointed? Did you think I’ll kiss you?”

“President Jessop, please don’t joke.”

I looked out of the car and hid my heartbeat.

Even after five years, I could still easily be teased by him.

I looked down on myself.

I kept thinking and didn’t notice where the car was going.

When the car stopped, I found it was a villa area.

When I looked at the familiar building in front of me, I was stunned!

It was actually the wedding room of Sean and I.

No, it was Sean and Molly’s wedding room, to be exact.

“Excuse me, President Jessop. What do you mean?” I was anxious but I still pretended to be confused, “do you want me to live in your house?"

“Do you want to live in my house?”

Sean had taken my luggage off the car when he spoke.

His expression was very strange.

I hurried to take my suitcase. “I’m sorry, President Jessop. I can stay in a hotel.”

With that, I took my suitcase and wanted to go out.

In order to pretend that I was not familiar with this place, I purposely went to the opposite direction of the gate.

Sean looked at me behind me and didn’t stop me.

I didn’t look back. I knew I was going the wrong way, but I didn’t want to go back.

At last I heard the sound of his shoes.

He came up and grabbed my suitcase. He whispered, “you’ve gone wrong. It’s not an exit.”

“Really?” I looked back and didn’t trust him.

When I looked up at his expression, he looked very disappointed.

What was he disappointed with?

Did I go the wrong way and prove that I wasn’t the one he wanted?

But it was none of my business.

Sean took my suitcase and walked to the side of the car. He was silent for a moment and said, “well, I’ll take you to the hotel.”

With that, he put my suitcase in the trunk of the car again.

I sat in the copilot’s seat and he didn’t fasten my seat belt anymore.

He sent me to an advanced hotel near the York Architecture and Landscape Design Institute.

He booked a room for me and left.

He didn’t talk to me all the way.

His back was very lonely.

I was sad and had an urge to stop him.

But I repressed the impulse in my heart.

I knew we couldn’t go back.

I’d better make him think I was not me.

The next day, I went to the construction site to measure.

Sean still gave me a car and a driver.

The engineering team knew I was going to take measurements and took my car to get there. The engineering process was different so they looked at it roughly and were ready to leave.

But I had a lot to do.

In order not to delay them, I let them take my car to leave.

I checked the map before I came here. There was a subway station two kilometers away. When I finished, I could walk there.

But what surprised me was that the weather began to go bad at two in the afternoon.

The sky was overcast. The wind whipped up the dust on the construction site.

I wanted to go to the subway station, but the paper I just recorded was blown away by the strong wind!

Because of the strong wind, the paper was blown everywhere.

I just grabbed a piece of paper. There were four or five pieces of paper scattered around.

These papers were the fruit of my work today.

I had to work with them when I went back in the evening.

I hesitated for a moment and decided to pick them up.

I was wearing wedge heels. The construction site was full of big and small stones. I wanted to pick them up, but I fell down.

I broke my leg and sprained my foot.

I frowned and stood up reluctantly.

Although it hurt a little, I knew it was no use crying when I was young. I still had to do things by myself.

I could only pick up the papers with a limp. I shook them and put them back in my bag. Then I limped to the subway station.

I could have been to the subway station in half an hour at most, but now I had a sprained foot.

There were more and more black clouds in the sky.

I took a few steps and it began to rain.

I was so unlucky.

The project started off so badly. I was a little upset.

When I limped for more than half an hour, I found that there was no subway station.

When I took out my cell phone to check, a sapphire SUV passed by.

The car looked familiar.

When I looked back at the car, it stopped not far away.

Then I saw Sean get out of the car. He took a black umbrella out of the door and opened it.

He came up to me and handed me the umbrella and said, “take it.”

“Huh?” I put my cell phone in my bag.

When I took the umbrella, he picked me up directly!

“Ah!” I was startled.

Sean stared at me. I realized that I forgot to change my voice again.

He didn’t speak. He took me and went to his car.

I heard the rain falling on the umbrella and the sound of his shoes stepping on the water.

I was held by him and my body was close to him.

He went to the copilot and opened the door and put me in the copilot’s seat.

He moved very slowly as if he was holding a precious treasure.

My heart seemed to beat slower with his movements.

He put me down and took the umbrella in my hand. He went back to the driver’s seat and squinted at me. He asked me, “it’s raining. Why do you go to the mountains?”

“No, I’m going to the subway station.”

I explained.

Sean frowned and said, “I didn’t realize you can’t recognize directions before. You were going in the opposite direction.”

His words were like a bomb.

I couldn’t help getting nervous. I quickly said, “President Jessop, you saw me for the first time yesterday.”
