My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1445

"Ring..."

Right after Julien had left, the man who claimed to be Lawrie's father called Vanessa on the phone. Vanessa answered the phone, "Hello!"

The man said, "Miss Vanessa, it's 2 p.m. already. Why aren't you here yet?"

Vanessa really wanted to meet this person and get the evidence as soon as possible to bring him to justice, but she was in the hospital at this moment. Moreover, Julien's men were guarding outside. She couldn't leave at all, so she had no choice but to say, "Sorry, I can't make it today because of work. If you don't mind, how about we meet at 2 p.m. the day after tomorrow?"

The man said again, "This is the first time ever in my life I got stood up. It would be a lie if I say that I don't mind it at all. But since it's you, I'll wait for you for two more days then."

Vanessa hated this man so much that she wanted to tear him into pieces at that instant, but it was not the right time yet. Hence, she said politely, "Thanks!"

That evening, Vanessa left the hospital and went home. As soon as she got home, a delivery man showed up at her door step and delivered a bouquet of flowers. "Miss Love, this is from Mr. Kyle. Please sign here."

Vanessa looked at the large bouquet of red roses. "Mr. Kyle? Which Mr. Kyle?"

The delivery man said, "He didn't give us his full name, so I don't know which Mr. Kyle he is."

The only person Vanessa could think about was Julien. Were these flowers a gift from Julien?

It was very unlikely.

Julien was not a romantic person at all. Even when they were dating back then, he had never given her flowers. What's more, she had just refused his marriage proposal.

Based on Vanessa's understanding of Julien, she was sure that Julien would still be angry at her. He would be angry at her for at least two weeks, so it was impossible for him to send her flowers now.

However, Vanessa couldn't think of any other Mr. Kyle. She thought that it was probably Joel who decided to send her the flowers in Julien's name. Thinking of this possibility, Vanessa calmly accepted the flowers and said, "Thank you!"

Vanessa had just accepted the flowers when someone knocked on her door again. Vanessa opened the door, and this time, it was a man dressed in a formal suit with a pair of glasses sitting on his nose. At one glance, Vanessa could tell that he was a knowledgeable man. She asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, are you Miss Love?" asked the man.

Vanessa nodded and said, "I am. How can I help you?"

The man took out an envelope and said, "I'm Pedro Murphy, Mr. Kyle's lawyer. This agreement is the transfer of ownership of this house. After signing this, and completing the transfer procedure at the Land Registry, this house will then belong to you."

Vanessa frowned and asked, "Did Mr. Kyle send you here?"

Pedro nodded and said, "Yes. Mr. Kyle is giving you this house as a gift."

Vanessa couldn't believe it. "Mr. Murphy, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? This house is not far away from Mangrove Bay. It's the most expensive residential area in Chatterton Town. It's worth at least tens of millions. Is he really giving it to me?"

Vanessa nodded dully. "Okay."

Joel patted her shoulder. "Don't think too much about it, okay."

Vanessa answered, "Okay."

As soon as Joel left, Vanessa's colleagues who were in the pantry said in a sarcastic tone, "Someone has been trying to win Mr. Kyle's heart by making coffee for him every day. It seems like it's not working anymore."

They were none other than Lena Lesley and Jules Young, who often gossiped in the office. Vanessa did not have the time to care about them, so she ignored them and went straight back to her desk.

For the past year, as long as Julien was in the office, Vanessa would make coffee for him. It was an indispensable part of Vanessa's job. Now that she was ordered not to do it, she felt extremely uneasy. She could no longer focus on her work. She could not stop wondering what Julien was trying to do to her.

Vanessa wasn't in a good condition throughout the morning. She was so worried that she had no appetite to have lunch. Seeing that her colleagues had left for lunch, she weakly leaned onto the desk and said, "What should I do? What should I do? I've really pissed Julien off this time. He's going to kill me."

Knock, knock.

All of a sudden, someone knocked on her desk. She looked up and saw that Julien was standing in front of her desk. She quickly stood up and said nervously, "Mr, Mr. Kyle..."

Noticing that Vanessa was so nervous that she was stammering, Julien instinctively furrowed his brows. However, he realized that he shouldn't have shown his repugnance like this, so he tried to put on a friendlier expression. "Let's go for lunch together."
