Chapter 11 What Right Do You Have?
When she came out of the filming base, Lottie went to the seafood market.
She didn’t forget that she wanted to make dinner for Fabian and Elijah.
“Sir, Mrs. Chapman goes to get groceries.”
The black Bentley stopped, and Sean looked at the man behind him, “Should we wait here, or…”
Ralph put down his phone, lowered the window, and looked at Lottie’s back.
During the way, he already investigated the relationship between her and those two others.
One was once her boyfriend, and the other was her best friend, but they were together behind her back, and in front of her they were swaggering around.
He thought before that, according to the way she was so sad that night when she was drunk, she would be so disappointed and might cry in such a situation like that just now.
But…
She looked relaxed when she was walking and was even humming while she went towards the seafood market. Ralph was confused.
…
After Lottie went to get the groceries she was going to use to make dinner for the two kids, she passed a guy selling fish.
She remembered that she had asked the butler before about what Ralph liked to eat.
The butler said that he liked eating fish.
Lottie never cooked fish before, because Luke was afraid of them. He was so afraid that he never dared to touch any of them even though they were cooked fish, and because of that, Lottie also felt that she was denying fish for his reason.
But Ralph liked them.
She stood there and picked one that was pretty, fat and fresh, and asked the seller to kill and clean the fish.
After she got the groceries, she left the market holding the filled bags in her hands.
After she went out of the gate, she was pulled into a small street by Luke’s assistant.
“So you are really here.”
Luke was leaning on a car door, and the way he was looking at Lottie was so cold, “Let me drive you home.”
Lottie looked at the car behind him and smiled lightly, “No need.”
“I and my husband live in a villa community on the west side of the city, and you won’t be able to get in there with your car.”
“Since you know that I already married Mr. Chapman, you should also know that you will never be able to catch up with him financially.”
Luke’s expression darkened. He stared at Lottie and said, “So, you married Mr. Chapman because you wanted to be rich?”
Lottie laughed.
“Right.”
She looked at Luke, her eyes had lost the craziness, and the love that she once had for him also disappeared.
This man made her feel disgusted, “I hate you because you’re so poor. I just like a rich guy like Mr. Chapman. Is this answer enough to satisfy you?
“You are lying.”
Luke stared at Lottie, after a while, he laughed, “I know you. You are not that kind of person.”
He took a deep breath, and then he said emotionally, “Lottie, are you still mad because of what just happened?
“We were all in a bad mood. If I have hurt you. I am apologizing for it now.”
“Since you don’t want me to send you home, then let me just speak to you real quick.”
He sighed, “Isobel was crying really sadly. She paid you three times the money so you could act on her behalf, but you made so many mistakes in the filming base, and it delayed the whole shooting process so that the director was having trouble with her.”
Lottie laughed coldly.
The director was having trouble with Isobel?
Wasn’t it all because she made then retake the same scene again and again so that she had to get beaten over and over again?
Now it was her fault for some reason!
“I hope that you can focus on work in the future, and separate private life and work life.”
Luke pressed his lips together, “I know you, and you cannot accept me and Isobel being together.”
“But we are really in love.”
“If you want to blame anyone, then you can blame me.”
“It is me who was too traditional. I cannot accept the fact that a person I loved would have a child with someone else, so that is why when you gave birth, I slept with Isobel five years ago.”
Lottie was stunned.
Her ears were humming; she almost couldn’t hear what Luke was talking about.
Five years ago that night, when she had her car accident, he was in the ER for almost 24 hours, only then she finally gave birth to the dead baby in her belly.
The doctor said that she was lucky. If it was anyone not as healthy as her, she might have died in that ER.
But now Luke told her that he was with Isobel that night. When she almost died for him in the hospital, he was sleeping with Isobel!
She laughed coldly, “So you and Isobel already had affairs five years ago.”
“Don’t make it sound so bad.”
Luke frowned, “Affairs? You are the one who cheated on me first.”
“No man can ever accept his girlfriend…”
“Bam!”
Lottie slacked Luke across his face hard.
That slap was so rough that Luke had to take a step back.
“Five years ago you took my money to clear your name. You didn’t tell me that you were ashamed of me at that time!”
She bit her lips tightly, “You took my money to prove your innocence. You enjoyed what I helped you to get. Then you felt ashamed of me? Luke, you are such a shameless man!”
Luke held his cheek. His sight was cold, “You gave birth to someone else’s child, and you still wanted to be with me as if nothing happened. I just spent your money, so what?”
Lottie’s heart felt cold as if it fell into an ice bucket.
She never regretted her love for him all these years, but now she learned that who she loved was completely a bastard!
Suddenly, she thought of the fish she just bought.
Luke was most afraid of fish.
Lottie bit her teeth, and threw the bag with the bloody fish on Luke!
That fish landed right in his arms, “That’s for you. You are welcome!”
The man started screaming loudly, “Lottie!”
“You are crazy!”
“Assistant, get this fish off me!”
The woman took her other groceries and went out of the alley and took a taxi to leave.
“Lottie, I will never forgive you…”
Behind her, the man’s voice was getting further away.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
She was leaning on the back of the seat and covered her eyes with her hands.
But her tears still fell through the space between her fingers.
She was the most stupid idiot in this whole world
She had been cheated by Luke and Isobel for the whole five years!
It was evening so there was a traffic jam.
By the time the taxi stopped in front of the gate of the Chapmans’ Villa, Lottie was already done crying.
She sorted her emotions and got off the car.
Ralph was talking on the phone in the flower garden in front of the gate.
Ralph was wearing a white suit; he was smoking while talking on the phone.
The sunshine and the smoke mixed together, and he looked even taller, while his figure looked even colder.
He was carrying manly coldness, which made Lottie’s heart skip a beat.
She carried her groceries and went over; she knew that he was busy, so she intentionally walked on the other side of the hall.
When she reached his side, he hung up the phone and raised a hand to stop her.
His eyes were looking at her, “What is that in your hand?”
“I am going to cook for Elijah and Fabian for dinner.”
Ralph squinted. He lowered his head, and walked closer to her, “Just for them? Is there something for me?”
The man had such a cold aura on him, and Lottie got anxious. She lowered her head, “There is.”
“I bought fish for you…”
“Where?”
She raised her right hand subconsciously.
It was empty.
Only then she remembered that the fish she bought for Ralph landed on Luke.
She laughed awkwardly, “I forgot to get it. Next time I will cook it for you.”
“Okay.”
He raised a hand and held her chin. His smile was astonishing, “Remember it. You owe me once.”
Lottie was speechless.
…
In a five-star hotel.
Luke was sitting with the creators and some sponsors. He felt that the fishy smell on him was still there.
Not long after, the dinner was served.
Luke saw that the whole table was filled with fish dishes, but he didn’t dare to get angry.
The whole entertainment circle knew that he didn’t like fish!
One of the creators smiled awkwardly, “Sorry, Mr. Berry. Someone told us that you can only have fish tonight.”
