Spoiled By My Bossy CEO Husband novel Chapter 97

Edward suddenly petrified.

He quickly turned around.

At the door of the ward, a tall man was looking at him with his arms crossed and a teasing look in his eyes.

"Ahem..."

Edward coughed and said, "I suddenly remember that there are patients waiting for me over there. I, I have to go!"

After that, regardless of Ralph's expression, the man got up directly and strode around Ralph to leave.

"Alas..."

Lottie raised her hand, trying to keep him stayed. Before she could say a word, Edward’s figure had completely disappeared from her sight.

"What, you can't let go of him?"

When he saw Lottie's expression, the man closed the door.

After a bang, only Lottie and Ralph were left in the private room.

The man walked gracefully to her and sat down on a chair beside her. He gently opened the lunch box for her and handed her the spoon.

Lottie took the spoon. "Thank you..."

After that, she lowered her head and carefully took a sip of the porridge. "I know what Edward said just now was nonsense. I won't take it seriously."

Ralph said in a low voice with a hint of a smile, "What he said is not completely false."

Lottie was stunned and looked up at him.

There was a faint smile in the man's bottomless eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lottie blushed and quickly lowered her head to continue having the porridge.

Ralph narrowed his eyes slightly.

He could feel that she was very cautious.

"Lottie."

The man's deep voice sounded a little awkward when he called her name, but his voice was very pleasant.

She nodded silently while having the porridge.

"Has Mr. Chapman been here?"

She nodded, "And your fiancée is here too."

"My fiancée?"

Ralph frowned. After a long while, he realized that she was talking about Alice.

The man grabbed her bowl from her. "Let me do it."

Seeing that, Lottie felt a little uneasy. "I can do it myself."

"I want to help."

He shook his head helplessly and forced the spoon a little closer to her lips.

She glanced at him, then slowly lowered her head and ate the spoonful of porridge.

Ralph's deep voice rang out softly. "Alice White has never been my fiancée."

"But..."

"My second brother brought her back."

"He used to be a soldier. There was an accident in his last mission before he retired. His old squad leader blocked the bomb with his body for him and died without a full body."

"After he died, his wife who lived in the countryside couldn't stand the blow and committed suicide. There was only an underage daughter left, so my second brother took this girl, who had become an orphan, back to the Chapman family and raised her as his sister."

Lottie paused. "She is Alice White?"

"Yes."

Ralph nodded and continued to feed her porridge. "When she came to the Chapman family, I was 18 years old and she was 15."

The man's movements and voice were gentle. "At that time, my second brother joked that he wanted her to marry me after she grew up, so there were rumors that she was my fiancée."

Lottie's hands silently grasped the sheets beside her. "Is it just a rumor?"

"What do you think?"

Ralph looked at her, soulfully. "If I really like her, do you think you still have a chance?"

Lottie paused.

Although his words were a little cruel, she was convinced.

Yes.

No matter what, Alice had lived in the family for ten years.

If she was really Ralph's fiancée, if he really wanted to marry her...

How could it be the Green family's turn to send her to his side?

But...

Ralph made another spoonful of porridge and brought it to her mouth. "Besides, before you married me, Mr. Chapman had already arranged two blind dates for me."
