Spoiled By My Bossy CEO Husband novel Chapter 54

The female assassin wailed on the floor.

Ralph put the pistol away impassively and turned his head to glance at Lottie who was leaning against the wall, "Are you okay?"

"I'm... fine."

Lottie, who was still in shock, came back to her senses and shook her head with a pale face.

Although she often saw props like pistols when she was on the set, this was the first time she had seen a real one.

A few minutes ago, Ralph used it to shoot the female assassin.

The smell of blood in the air and the blood all over the floor made her a little weak in the legs.

"Are you really okay?"

"I'm fine... really."

Ralph turned around and walked out.

As he walked to the door, he noticed that she didn't follow.

He frowned and turned his head back, "Why don’t you follow me?"

Lottie bit her lips, "I..."

She had gotten so weak in the legs that she couldn't walk.

Noticing that she was a bit hesitant, Ralph curled his lips and realized the reason why she didn't go.

He shook his head helplessly, then walked over in big strides and embraced her horizontally.

Lottie pursed her lips. She felt shy as she nestled in his arms and watched Ralph carry her out the door.

Leaning against his chest, she could feel the pace of his breath and heartbeat.

Inexplicably, Lottie's face flushed.

"Lottie!"

They had just gotten out of the shower room when Connie hurried over, "Lottie, are you okay?"

Lottie pursed her lips. Then she looked up and smiled towards Connie, "I'm fine."

She was just a little weak in the legs.

"What was going on..."

Connie lowered her head and sighed heavily, "I just went to call my parents to tell them that we were safe, but you..."

After that, she looked up into Ralph's eyes, "Mr. Chapman, have you done with that woman?"

Ralph nodded and turned away with Lottie in his arms, "She's freaking out. I'll take her back first."

Connie was stunned. She hurriedly caught up with them, "What about me?"

Ralph didn't look back, "My assistant will take you back."

Just as he finished speaking, Sean had already appeared in front of Connie. He made an inviting gesture to the direction of the car, "Miss Houghton, let's go."

Connie pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look in the direction Ralph and Lottie left, "If we drive back, what about them?"

Sean laughed, "It's rare that Mr. Chapman has time to hug Mrs. Chapman for a walk. Why should we bother them?"

It then dawned on Connie something.

It was an excuse for Ralph as he said he was taking Lottie back to the hotel. He actually wanted to hold her a little longer, right?

She snickered at the thought, "It seems that Mr. Chapman attaches great importance to Lottie!"

"Of course. Mrs. Chapman is the first woman that Mr. Chapman cherishes so much."

Connie gave him a sidelong glance, "Nonsense."

"If Lottie is the first, what about Elijah and Fabian's mother?"

Sean was stunned and lowered his head.

That woman...

He couldn't figure out Mr. Chapman's feelings towards that woman.

...

The sea breeze at night was a bit cool as it blew across the people on the beach.

Ralph hugged Lottie and walked slowly on the beach by the sea.

"I thought you should experience a lot after you have acted so many years."

Ralph walked while speaking coolly, "It seems that I have still overestimated you."

Lottie was speechless.

Lying in his arms, she smelled the familiar scent. She pouted, "What I saw on the movie set are all fake..."

But everything that just happened was real!

Lottie’s body shivered slightly.

After a while, Ralph spoke in a soft tone, "Are you afraid?"

It was the gentlest voice Lottie had ever heard from him.

She buried her head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "A little."

"It may happen many times in the future."

Ralph took a long breath and looked indifferently into the distance, "Lottie, I thought you have known much about me before you married me."

But now it seemed that she hadn't.

Lottie pursed her lips and raised her bright eyes to look at him without speaking.

Ralph shook his head helplessly, "I have rivals. There are only opponents from rival companies, but also those guys who are fighting for the inheritance from the Chapman family."

"Since five years ago, they have not given up assassinating me."

"What happened today happens around me all the time."

His voice was low and unemotional, "Lottie, if you want to divorce me now, it's not too late."

Lottie looked at him.

The bright moonlight made his side face look more stoical and chiseled.

She remembered the injury on his shoulder last night, and those words Sean said about the experiences he had five years ago...

She didn’t know why, but at this moment, she actually felt that Ralph was lonely.

He seemed untouchable, cold, and arrogant to others, but he might also felt vulnerable and lonely sometimes, right?

Almost subconsciously, she grabbed Ralph's shirt.

"Ralph."

She looked at him, and her eyes reflected the clear glow of the moonlight, "I won't leave you alone."

"Since I've decided to marry you, I won't betray my oath."

The light in Lottie's eyes was serious and stubborn.

Her eyes were even brighter than the moonlight. Ralph looked in it and smiled.

"I see."

He lifted his head, hugged her, and walked with great strides toward the hotel.

It didn't take long for Lottie to fall asleep in his arms.

Ralph sighed helplessly and tightened his arms around her, "Lottie."

"You have to be responsible for your promise."

...

It was the next morning when Lottie woke up again.

She opened her eyes and yawned, and tried to roll over when she realized she couldn't move.

She looked closely and realized that she was being held tightly in Ralph's arms.

He was still sleeping soundly.

The sunlight in the early morning shone on his handsome face, making him extremely charming.

Looking at his face, she felt her heart beating a little abnormal.

So she turned her face away awkwardly and raised her hand to pull his arm aside.

"Don't move."

Ralph's low voice came to her ears.

Lottie hurriedly stopped moving.

She pursed her lips and nestled in his arms. Then she raised her eyes to look at the side of his handsome face, "You're awake?"

"I could have slept a little longer if you hadn't moved around."

Ralph's eyes were closed, while his voice sounded lazy.

Listening to his tempting voice, Lottie silently bit her lips.

"But ..."

Lottie raised her hand and continued to pull his arm that was resting on her, "I still want to get up."

Instead, he held her tightly and refused to let go, as if he really had the intention of taking her back to sleep again.

Lottie panicked.

She grabbed his arm in a hurry, "Ralph, you..."

"You must let me go."

Ralph closed his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Why?"

"Because..."

Her little face flushed, "I have to pee..."

"I need to go to the bathroom..."

Just as she finished her words, Ralph had already withdrawn his arm.

"Thanks!"

Lottie hurriedly got up from the bed and darted into the bathroom.

Before entering the door, she did not forget to look back at him, "Don't worry. I will come back soon and sleep with you!"

After she finished, the bathroom door was closed with a bang.

Ralph, who was on the bed, changed to a comfortable position and closed his eyes. Yet he showed a slight smile.

This silly girl.
