Chapter 352: I Don’t Want To Have Such a Quick Mind

…

Halle hugged Horton tightly and felt that he was holding her harder, but she got more anxious.

“Did something happen? Are you going to leave? Where are you going? Will you leave me and Emily?”

She thought that, as an ordinary couple, they should live a normal life, which was boring but simple, and she was satisfied with this kind of life.

However, what Horton had said just now terrified her.

She wondered why it was so difficult for her to get back to her normal life.

Probably he finally realized that she was a burden and wanted to go back to the Hutt’s.

“There’s an exchange meeting in Pakanda. I need to go there.”

’So … he behaved so strangely because he would be temporarily separated from us, right?’

Halle heaved a sigh of relief and her voice softened. “Will it take a long time?” No matter how long it took, she would wait at home for him to come back. “It doesn’t matter. Is it half a year or a year? Or longer?”

Seeing that Horton did not speak, Halle frowned slightly. If he stayed there too long, she would be more worried.

They had just got married, and they hadn’t formed a strong bond. They had just lived together, so they hadn’t experienced anything meaningful.

What if he realized that he didn’t like her that much after staying there for a long time? What if he fell in love with another woman in Pakanda?

Halle pressed her lips together and held him so tightly that her arms got numb. “No matter how long it takes, Emily and I will wait for you to come back.” She would patiently wait for him at home.

Horton let go of her and looked her in the eye. He chuckled and gently rubbed her nose bridge with his index finger. His voice was deep with an outpour of love.

“Don’t worry. It won’t take a few years. I will stay there for three months.”

After that, he hugged Halle again and said, “But I don’t want to be separated from you and Emily for even a second.”

If he were a king, he would attach more importance to her wife than the kingdom.

He even began to put aside those academic researches and his status. He only wanted to live a normal life with Halle and Emily for the rest of his life.

Hearing this, Halle smiled in relief, and said in a gentle voice, “It’s just three months.

Time flies. Emily and I will wait for you at home.

“So are you going to set off today? How’s the weather over there? I should look it up on the Internet and you should bring some spare clothes.”

As Halle spoke, she quickly freed herself from Horton’s embrace and was in a hurry to find clothes for him in the wardrobe.

Horton stepped forward, picked her up, and lay on the bed. Then, he began to kiss her.

He said in a low and muffled voice, “No rush. My flight is leaving tomorrow. I want to spend the rest time with you.”

He was very passionate. Thus, before Halle could refuse, he kissed her right on the mouth.

Hugged tightly, she couldn’t help sighing.

Well, they were going to separate, and neither did she want him to go, so she decided to satisfy him.

The summer was around the corner, so it got humid and hot, and even the heatwave was dispersed by a storm.

Halle saw Horton off at the airport. Watching him gradually walk away into the distance, she was sad and worried.

“Mom, is Dad going to work outside for a long time? Will he come back?”

Emily stood beside Halle and held her hand. It was crowded, so they did not look so outstanding.

Emily looked up at Halle and said seriously, “I will miss him.”

Although she had not known Horton for a long time, he was very good to her and bought whatever she liked to eat, including those Halle refused to buy.

As a result, Emily was well satisfied with him.

“Emily, you are missing him, right?”

Halle looked down at Emily with a gentle smile.

Without waiting for Emily to answer, Halle continued, “He will come back. He can’t bear to leave you for too long.”

“I’m so cute and I’ll be good. He will miss me, right?”

Emily looked up and said seriously. Halle smiled and nodded vigorously. “You are so good. Of course, he will miss you.”

“He will miss you as well, Mom. Don’t be sad. Margaret has said that boys are very naughty. If we are cold to them, they will take the initiative to please us. Let’s go home and wait for Dad to do that.”

Emily’s crisp voice was pure and friendly.

Holding Halle’s hand, she was comforting Halle.

Halle could not help but frown when she heard this. ’Margaret has almost corrupted Emily.’

However, Margaret was in the hotel.

Hardly had she come out of the bathroom when she sneezed and frowned. “Have I caught a cold?

She was as strong as an ox, so she was a little surprised.

On second thought, she shook her head and thought Orlenna or Hilla must be missing her.

Julian looked up from a pile of documents and saw Margaret, who had woken up early in the morning. She looked wet from the water. The white bathrobe couldn’t cover her plump body.

With a towel in her hand, she was rubbing her itchy nose pitifully. She didn’t realize that her tender and attractive legs were exposed in the air.

Julian put down the documents, got up, walked to her, and took the towel from her.

Margaret was slightly stunned. She looked up at his handsome face that was close to her. For a moment, she was in a trance and was overwhelmed by what had happened these days.

Blushing, she quietly lowered her head and said, “What’s the matter? Just go on with your work. Why do you come to me?”

After muttering, she tried to snatch the towel with a guilty conscience, only to see that the towel was thrown onto the sofa. In the next second, she was pulled into Julian’s arms.

Before she could speak, he grabbed her waist, lifted her, and put his hands on her legs.

Margaret was shocked. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, saying in panic, “What are you going to do?”

“The work is done. It’s time to sleep with you.”

Julian interrupted her and carried her to the bedroom.

Knowing what was going to happen, Margaret struggled to get off his body. “Julian, that’s enough. It’s in the morning. Shame on you!”

Julian said with an evil grin, “It’s not enough. You are my wife, so it’s not shameful to sleep with you at all.”

…

Margaret covered her face and felt Julian’s hot breath on her ear, because of which her hair floated and her ear itched.

She could feel that her face was burning with shame, so she took a deep breath and buried her head on Julian’s shoulder, refusing to look him in the eye.

“Julian, shame on you.”

“You looked shy, but I think you like this.”

Julian jerked his shoulder, but Margaret refused to raise her head as if she was tied to him.

“I mean you are shameless. I’ve never said I like you.”

Margaret continued to bury her head on his shoulder, planning to stick her head on it.

If she raised her head, Julian would do something bad to her.

“Margaret, are you a baby?

“You can’t keep on doing this. Get down.”

Julian tried to persuade Margaret to look up, but Margaret was determined and almost welded her head on his shoulder.

In any case, he couldn’t do anything to her unless she got down.

“Just treat me as your daughter. I don’t mind.”

Julian thought, ’But I do.’

“Margaret, raise your head.”

“No, I can’t have sex with you. I’m almost worn out. What about next time?”

She sobbed in a grieved and muffled voice while he was gently rubbing her silky legs.

She looked skinny, but her legs felt very nice.

She pitifully buried her head on his shoulder and wrapped her legs on his waist like a koala, refusing to come down.

“Now that you’ve caught a cold, go back to the bedroom and have a good rest.” Just as Julian finished speaking, Margaret let go of him.

“I’ll sleep in the bedroom and won’t eat breakfast, so don’t disturb me.”

After that, she entered the bedroom and closed the door without looking back.

Julian stood outside the door and frowned slightly. He couldn’t stop picturing what he had seen. Her legs were so long and sexy.

He furrowed his brows in thought and muttered, “She’s got fat.”

Margaret wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and heaved a sigh of relief after she didn’t hear him pick the lock.

It was too scary. Were all men crazy about sex?

She could sacrifice her marriage for the benefit of the Anderson family, but she couldn’t have sex with him.

After thinking about it, she got up and began to pack up her stuff. She would return home tomorrow and never come back.

Bruce was in the Anderson Group’s building.

James pushed open the door to Bruce’s office and gave Bruce the document that needed signing.

Thanks to the marriage between Margaret and Julian, the Anderson Group’s shares rose by half in three days, which brought practical benefits to the entire group.

After Bruce signed the document, James didn’t leave. Instead, he glanced outside the door and was a little hesitant.

“It seems you are too free!”

“No, I’m not free. I’m very busy.”

James replied in a firm tone and thought Bruce was as strict as before.

As the president, Bruce wouldn’t allow any employee to slack off.

James clasped his hands over his heart. He didn’t want to be fired before he retired.

“Mr. Anderson, Ms. Gilmore has been waiting outside for a day.”

This building saw a lot of traffic. Lori looked like a wreck and insisted that she should see Bruce. If she didn’t leave, the employees would get the wrong impression.

They might think Bruce had done something bad to her.

What was more, she was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, so she was very pitiful.

Hearing this, Bruce paused for a moment. When he raised his head, his eyes were cold.

James couldn’t help wondering what had happened between Bruce and Lori. “This is not the market. Ask her to go.”

Bruce’s tone was displeased. James quickly perked up and replied before Bruce got angry, “I tried to persuade her, but she said that she must see you. If you don’t see her today, she will come every day. Even if you shut her out, she will wait outside

the gate.”

After finishing his words, James glanced at Bruce’s expression.

He wondered what their relationship was and remembered that she had come a few days ago.

James even knew that Lori had once saved Bruce, so James did not dare to be rude to her.

Besides, she was a girl. The Anderson Group attracted a lot of attention because of Margaret’s marriage. If something went wrong, it would have a negative effect on both Bruce and the group.

James felt that he was risking his life for the company.

As an assistant, he was so loyal and hardworking.

Hearing this, Bruce sneered and gave a vicious smile.

He knew that Lori was trying to threaten him. Nonetheless, he could be wronged, but not threatened.

“Mr. Anderson, what about asking Ms. Gilmore in? You can straighten it out face to face.”

After a moment of hesitation, James thought they must be discreet.

He knew Bruce well.

Bruce was kind-hearted but a little impatient.

Thus, James was afraid that Lori would ask too much with the fact that she had saved Bruce.

Bruce glanced at James, who was obviously in deep thought, and said coldly, “I’m not free. Do you think you have been paid too much?”

“Of course not. I see. I will ask the security guard to take her away immediately.”

“Tell her it wasn’t me that night.”

Bruce said expressionlessly and continued to bury himself in his work.

However, James was shocked.

<What did Mr. Anderson mean? When was it? He said it wasn’t him … what exactly happened to them?

I’m his assistant, but I know nothing about it.>

James suddenly had a grim sense of foreboding that his job was in jeopardy. He felt extremely guilty because he was negligent. He might well be fired.

Outside the building, after Lori heard James’s words, the tears that had welled up in her eyes instantly trickled down her cheeks.

She looked helpless and weak.

James panicked and got a bad feeling. He looked at Lori and said, “Ms. Gilmore, don’t cry. Mr. Anderson is very busy, so you’d better go back.”

“Why doesn’t he want to see me? If it wasn’t him that night, then who was it? Why is he so irresponsible after doing that?”

Lori said and couldn’t help crying out.

James looked around anxiously. “Ms. Gilmore, please don’t cry.”

He thought, <I’ve screwed up my image. I’m a gentleman but I make a girl cry.

What’s worse, it seems I have known something secret about Mr. Anderson. I will lose my job.

I’m talented and intelligent, but I don’t want to have such a quick mind. What should I do?>
