Chapter 304: It Is Like a Beautiful Dream

…

The atmosphere in the living room of the Anderson’s was weird.

Claus glared at Bruce with rage, but he could do nothing.

He thought, “The Andersons want to abuse their power and bully him now.”

“Are you going to meddle in the affairs of my family?” Claus asked.

“You have misunderstood me. I happened to know something about Horton. And I want to share with you.”

Claus sneered. It was impossible for Bruce to be so helpful.

How could Claus not know what kind of person Bruce was?

“The dinner is ready. Why are you still sitting here? Come and have the meal. I have ordered to open a bottle of good wine. If it weren’t for Mr. Hutt coming over today, I was unwilling to take it out.”

Orlenna smiled gracefully and warmly as she arranged for them to take their seats in the dining room.

Claus glances at the people in the room and then looked at Simone who seemed very calm. The anger in his heart got stronger.

Claus thought, <Is Simone a fool? Halle and Horton have disappeared for so long, but he doesn’t ask it at all.

If Halle and Simone were lovers, how can Simone not care about it? It is obvious that he has been cheated by Bruce and Simone.>

“Sorry, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you today. I’m not feeling very well. I have to leave now.”

Then Claus walked out of the room. Orlenna said, “Mr. Hutt, I have prepared a lot of good wine and dishes for you.”

Claus went out and got in the car angrily as if he hadn’t heard her words,

Orlenna looked at the leaving car. She snorted and turned back to the house. She looked calm and solemn again.

Margaret took Emily downstairs and said to Orlenna, “Mom, your grandsons always cry. They are so naughty.”

Margaret liked Emily more, who was so adorable.

Hearing that her grandsons cried, Orlenna said angrily, “You damn girl, have you teased them again?”

“I just asked them to take poses and I took photos for them. They are so naughty.”

“Margaret, I warn you that you are not allowed to get close to them.”

Last time Margaret got many weird clothes and dressed them like monsters, making Orlenna furious.

Margaret even posted the photos on her Twitter.

“OK. If you don’t allow me to get close to them, I will play with Emily.”

Margaret held Emily in her arms happily, “Emily, let’s have some delicious food.”

“I like you.”

Emily hugged Margaret’s neck and kissed her face.

Then they ran downstairs.

Orlenna went upstairs to see her grandsons.

In the dining room, Bruce and Simone were chatting happily and drinking wine.

Hilla listened to their conversation and suddenly realized that it was Bruce who had arranged for Simone and Halle to meet each other. Simone knew that it was not real.

Due to it, Simone got a good project from Bruce.

Hilla thought, “Have they been cheating me?”

It appeared that Halle also knew about it.

Hilla suddenly felt unhappy because she realized that she was the last one to know it.

She didn’t expect that Halle didn’t tell her that.

Halle and Horton had gone out for a long time, and Hilla began to feel worried. After Simone left, Hilla took out her phone but Bruce stopped her to call Halle. “It’s so late now. Halle hasn’t returned yet. Will she…”

“It is their wedding night. Do you want to disturb them? Halle will get angry if you call her.”

“She won’t!”

Hilla glared at him angrily and frowned.

Tonight, Halle and Horton would…

“Will Horton take Halle to the hotel?”

Her voice attracted Margaret who was watching cartoons with Emily.

Margaret turned around and said, “What did you say? Horton, that jerk, takes Halle to the hotel?”

Margaret suddenly realized that she hadn’t seen them for half a day.

She had been looking after Emily for a long time. It turned out that she had held the candle to the devil.

If she had known it, she would have placed Emily between them, making it impossible for them to…

“Horton isn’t a good man. Halle is too easy to believe in others.”

She hadn’t taken revenge on him for the matter that happened in the hospital last time. Today he even took Halle away.

Hilla frowned with concern. She wondered whether it was proper for them to do so. “Halle is an adult. And they have…”

Bruce raised his head and looked at Emily, who was watching a cartoon in the living room.

Hilla asked, “You know Emily is… How do you know it?”

Bruce said casually, “Mom said that Emily looked quite similar to Horton when he was a child.”

Orlenna’s exaggerated description was saying that Emily was Horton’s illegitimate daughter.

Bruce was not an idiot. It was very easy for him to know the truth by observing Halle’s attitude towards Horton.

Hilla was speechless. She and Halle had tried so hard to hide it. But Bruce had known the truth.

No wonder Horton could take Halle away so easily today.

The Andersons were giving Horton support in secret.

In a community in River City, Halle entered a building according to Horton’s introduction.

Soon she walked into the elevator.

Although it was not newly built, it was well renovated. It could be seen that the management was very good.

The apartment was located downtown and the surrounding facilities were perfect. It was also close to the hospital where Horton worked.

This apartment had two bedrooms. But one was turned into a study by him. So there was only one bedroom.

It was a nice apartment although it looked ordinary.

“It’s a little small.”

When Horton opened the door, he saw Halle standing at the door hesitantly.

He subconsciously touched the marriage license in his pocket. He hadn’t had time to

read it since he got it.

Now it was too late for Halle to regret it. Horton sighed with great relief.

But in the next second, he became nervous again. Since they had obtained marriage licenses, tonight would be their wedding night.

Horton turned his head to the other side with secret thought.

He thought, “There is only one bedroom and one bed. Are they going to sleep together tonight?

…

Halle stood at the door for a while. Then she asked with embarrassment, “Where’re the slippers?”

Horton was stunned. He had supposed that Halle was hesitating whether to come in.

He didn’t expect that she had been waiting for the slippers.

Horton pointed to the shoe cabinet at the side. Halle had opened it before Horton wanted to say something.

There was only a pair of men’s slippers inside. Horton was a little embarrassed. “I have moved in here not long ago. And there are few guests coming, so…”

Other than Margaret, who never took off her shoes when entering the apartment, he had no other guests before.

The apartment was clean and tidy. It even had a faint smell of disinfectant.

It was a special habit of doctors like him. The rooms looked too simple, signing that no woman once lived here.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Halle took out the slippers from the cabinet and took off her high heels.

Horton didn’t need slippers since he sat in the wheelchair.

Horton was stunned for a moment when he saw Halle wearing his slippers.

He felt happy and warm. This cold apartment seemed to become warm because of Halle.

Seeing Horton looking straight at her feet, she said with embarrassment, “There’s only one pair of slippers. I will buy some daily necessities later.”

Since they had gotten marriage licenses, they would live together sooner or later.

Halle didn’t mind living together. She was just a little nervous.

The previous marriage was like a cage and a nightmare to her.

She didn’t know what this marriage would be. She felt terrified because the future was uncertain.

She knew that Horton was different from Titus.

“It doesn’t matter. I’m thinking that this apartment might not be big enough.”

Horton was a little upset. He had thought that he would live alone. So he didn’t buy a bigger one, which would cost him more time on cleaning up.

But now it was different, he married Halle. And they had Emily.

This apartment was small for a family of three.

“Let’s buy a house tomorrow.”

Horton suddenly spoke and Halle was stunned.

As she was about to speak, Horton said with a smile, “Buy a bigger house that you like. We can prepare a princess house for Emily. If you don’t like living downtown, we can go to the suburbs.”

“It is inconvenient for you to commute if we live in the suburbs.”

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t mind it.”

Halle looked at Horton and smiled gently. She nodded and said, “OK!”

Halle thought, <This house was not big enough for a family of three. Emily couldn’t always live in the Anderson’s.

Since they were married and would live together in the future, it was necessary to have a bigger house.>

In the bedroom.

As Horton stood up, his right shoulder was held by a soft hand. The place that was touched suddenly became stiff.

“I can…”

“Your leg is injured. Let me help you.”

Halle seemed to know what Horton wanted to say and interrupted it.

Then she grabbed his arm and wrapped it around her shoulder.

Feeling the warm and soft hand on his back, Horton became nervous and excited. He straightened his body.

Horton was a little absent-minded when looking at the bed in front of him,

“Is it hurt?”

Halle looked at Horton’s injured leg and frowned in worry.

Horton tried to calm down. He touched his forehead and forced a smile, “Not really.”

“Let me help you.”

“Thank you!”

Halle looked calm but his mind was a little out of control.

He felt very excited at the thought that they got marriage licenses and Halle would stay with him tonight. But he tried to calm himself down.

“Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?”

Halle covered him with the quilt and asked.

Horton looked at Halle in front of him and felt that it was like a dream.

Only dreams would be so wonderful.

“There should be something in the refrigerator.”

As Halle went to the kitchen, Horton sighed with relief. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows.

His mind gradually became clear. Then he heard the sound of opening the refrigerator in the kitchen.

Soon, Halle returned to the bedroom and stood by the bed. She looked at him and said, “The refrigerator is full of expired fast food. I have thrown them away. I’m going to the nearby supermarket to buy some food. Do you need anything?”

Horton felt that it was like a wife asking her husband.

Horton shook his head and took out three bank cards and two property ownership certificates from the bedside table. He handed them to Halle.

“This is all my asset. I have two apartments. But I don’t remember how much money is in these cards. It is probably…”

“I just need to go to the supermarket. It doesn’t cost much. A card is enough.”

She couldn’t help laughing when she saw Horton seriously telling her his property.

Then she took one card from his hand.

When she was to leave, Horton said, “Remember to buy a pair of female slippers.”

Halle turned around and looked at Horton. She said with a smile, “I know.”

There were many things they needed to buy.

After Halle left, Horton was still in a trance.

Suddenly, he thought of the marriage license in his pocket.

When he took it out, Horton peered at it excitedly.

There was a photo of them sitting together.

They wore the same white shirt and sat upright.

Their names were also on it. Horton was so excited and joyful.

He opened the drawer on the bedside table and put the marriage license and other certificates in.

Halle bought two bags of things from the supermarket.

There was only mineral water in the refrigerator before.

The entire room was filled with the aura of an elite single man. It required much effort for Halle to live in.

Halle went to the bedroom but didn’t see Horton. He was not on the bed. But she heard the sound of running water in the bathroom.

Halle was stunned. She looked at the frosted glass on the door and vaguely saw a man’s blurry figure.

She suddenly realized and blushed.

Horton was taking a shower!
