Chapter 34
“Don’t call me Mr. Louise. It sounds like we’re strangers. Call me Chase. Fil go buy something to eat for you. Wait for me.”
As Chase spoke, he strode out of the ward and considerately closed the door behind him.
Angela looked at the ceiling, lost in deep thought. It had only been a few days since she came back from abroad, but Kimberly and her mother had lost their patience and tried to hurt her for the second time.
For the sake of her father, she could tolerate them as long as they didn’t cross the line, but this time, t back
they had gone too far and she decided to fight
The mother and daughter were worried that she would compete for Cem. But they had forgotten that the company belonged to her mother, and it was clearly written in her will.
She was determined to take Gem back. Even if Kimberly had Pierre backing her up, she would not give up.
She wondered when Mr. Lit would move the auction house back from abroad.
She would be more confident with the help of the veteran in the business world.
The three companies abroad were h
her trump cards, and she would not let others know about them easily.
She decided to let Mr. Litt help her secretly in the future.
At this point, August Litt who was on the other side of the Earth was worried about his son.
The chief
f appraiser of Scarlet, Carmine Lin, was missing
To be exact, he ran away from home.
August just received the news that the boy had gone to Darsonas to find Angela
He didn’t rest assured to let the child go so far alone.
Although Carmine was already 25 years old and had amazing talent in identifying auction items, he was inexperienced in dealing with people.
August raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was midnight in Dansons. Considering that Carmine would stay on the plane for a dozen hours before reaching his destination, he decided to call Angela tomorrow.
Carmine was indeed a little nervous because it was his first time away from home alone.
He thought he had nothing to worry about once he got on the plane to Darsonas, and it would be quite simple.
But when the airline stewardess asked the passengers to turn off their electronic devices, he was still a little flustered
He called Angela when the plane was about to take off. A cold female voice rang out on the other end of the line, “The number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later,”
Carmine began to regret his recklessness, but it was too late. He wiped the sweat of his forehead and turned off his phone under the stewardess’s
Chase bought milk, toast, donuts, and a freshly picked watermelon into Angela’s ward.
As he was cutting the watermelon for Angela, he reminded her to take her time to eat.
At this time, a nurse knocked on the door and came in with a medical report.
Angela was fine. She fainted because of stress and low blood sugar
Simpson, you’re so lucky to have such a handsome, considerate
When the nurse saw how much Chase cared about Angela, she said enviously, “Miss Si boyfriend”
Angela wanted to tell her that Chase was not her boyfriend, but as she was supposed to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, there was no need to explain it.
She smiled without saying anything
As soon as the nurse left the ward, her colleagues gathered a
daround her.
Ts that man Chase from the Louise Group He’s so handsome!”
Chapter 34
A girl said excitedly like a fan had just seen her idol,
The nurse smiled at her colleagues and said. “It is indeed Chase inside. But you guys won’t have a chance. That girl should be his girlfriend
“Didn’t you see how scrupulous he was while taking care of her…
Although they were not talking loudly, Chase and Angela heard their conversation clearly.
Chase looked at Angela with a smile in his eyes and said in a relaxed tone, “Miss Angela, have you thought about my proposal?”
Angela thought it would be inappropriate to avoid the topic again. Besides, Chase’s good upbringing and handsome appearance left a good impression on her in the past few days,
She said gently, “Mr. Louise, I think we can get along as close friends first
Angela blushed as soon as she finished speaking. She slipped under the quilt and pulled it up to cover her head.
How embarrassing!
Hearing that Chase feh a little disappointed. He could get any women he wanted in Jounta. As long as he wanted to, a bunch of beautiful girls would durom themselves into his arms.
But the woman in front of him was still unwilling to accept him.
Despite his disappointment, he still said sincerely with a smile, “Okay, Angie, But since we’re close friends, you can’t call me Mr. Louise anymore.
Call me Chase.”
As he spoke, he reached out, trying to pull the quilt off Angela’s face.
However, Angela still grabbed the quilt tightly. She felt too embarrassed to face Chase.
In her 27 years of life, a dozen men had confessed their love to her.
But she refused them all mercilessly.
Chase was different. He had saved her nece and deserved to be her close friend. But why would she feel so embarrassed!
Chase touched Angela’s head through the quilt and coaxed her sofily, “Angie, covering your head with a quilt will prevent you from getting enough oxygen. What’s more, you’re on an IV drip. Be good. Come out and have some watermelon.”
Angela felt stuffy under the quilt. After Chase’s reminder, she felt a dull pain at the needle site.
Chase was still coaxing her when Angela finally popped her head our hesitantly. Seeing the glow on her pretty face, Chase had the urge to kiss her
But he struggled to hold back his desire.
Before he took his revenge, he wouldn’t allow himself to fall in love with anyone, especially the woman in front of him.
He put the watermelon he had cut into small pieces in front of Angela and said, “My dear friend, I cut it especially for you.”
As he spoke, he picked up a small piece of watermelon with a toothpick and moved it to Angela’s lips
“Angle, say “Ah.”
Angela opened her mouth cooperatively.
She had never been in a relationship, but she often saw such scenes in movies and TV dramas. Since she had promised to try to start a relationship with Chair, she was willing to cooperate
Looking at the obedient, cute woman, Chase w
was seized with an impulse to get her laid. She was so pure and sexy!
He somehow could not bear to get her involved in the war between him and his uncle’s family.
He knew very well that this woman was different to him than other women.
Chase picked up another piece of watermelon with a toothpick, ready to feed her.
But Angela did not open her mouth this time. She said softly, looking a bit weary. “Mr. Louise. I. I’m a little tired.”
She was just trying to explain it, but to Chase, it sounded like she was flirting with him.
With a chutkle, he took not a fur and gently wiped the watermelon juice off Angela’s lips.

After he finished in, he said. “Go to sleep. I’ll leave when you’re done with the IV drip.”
Angela looked at the IV hag above her head and closed her eyes obediently with a nod.
Chase looked unblinkingly at the woman on the bed, her smooth forehead, slightly upturned nose, long, trembling eyelashes, delicate yet pale
face…
Her normally red lips turned pale pink, but it made Chase want to taste them even more.
He rose to his feet, walked into the bathroom, and splashed a handful of cold water on his face.
