Chapter 238 : Valentine’s Day
Bruce also guessed that the person was Randy, and suddenly remembered that he had proposed marriage to his grandfather before, and felt slightly unhappy in his heart.
Old Mr. Grant didn’t care about their riddle, took the chess and started to play.
After playing chess, it was about time for the grandparents to discuss the wedding, and Old Mr. Grant went upstairs to take a rest, while Lindsey and Bruce accompanied Lily to talk for a while, and then held hands to say goodbye.
When they returned to the old house downtown, Lindsey thought more and more about Randy and felt that he was an abomination.
Bruce didn’t remember much about it, he was full of thoughts about how to pole dance and how Lindsey would let him go.
After sitting in the living room for a few moments with each mind, Lindsey felt a little tired and moved away from the computer to go to her room for a nap.
Bruce didn’t follow, he went to the training room and trained for almost half an hour before returning to his room to take a shower.
Lindsey was sleeping heavily, her small face resting on a small pillow, looking soft and quiet.
Bruce leaned over and gently planted a kiss on her forehead, Bruce’s sleepiness subsided and he quietly retreated.
The company’s recent operations were inquired about, and Bruce told her plans for Cary to help make the arrangements.
“Can I bring someone with me?” Cary’s expression was a little unnatural. “It’s burning up anyway, so everyone can see.”
“Found a girl to your liking?” Bruce’s sword eyebrows raised slightly, and a pleased smile surfaced on his face. “That’s a good thing, of course you’re welcome to bring someone over, Lindsey and I are an old married couple anyway.”
“Then we can’t disturb you, so you’ll be at the top of the mountain and I’ll be at the bottom.” Cary thought for a moment and suggested both. “When you light up, I’ll follow.”
“Done.” Bruce agreed in one breath, and laughed again. “You’re a good hider.”
Cary laughed dryly. “No, you are busy, plus the young lady back, just did not notice.”
“Come on, I don’t know what you’re thinking.” Bruce lazily stretched his arms and asked with a smile, “Where is Carl, has the boy found, all these years following me, it is delayed you.”
“About to get a license, Carl has been looking at houses lately.” Cary blurted out a sentence, realizing that something was wrong and changed his mind. “You’ll have to ask him about that.”
“I’ll help you guys out with the house.” Bruce rubbed his brow, thinking to himself that he had really neglected them all these years and never considered this layer.
A flash of embarrassment surfaced on Cary’s face and he smiled sarcastically, “If Carl finds out, he’ll say I’m reaching for welfare again.”
“That’s what you deserve, what do you mean by “asking for it.” Bruce slanted an eye breeze over, his tone was unmistakable. “It’s a deal. Before I go back to the army, I’ll help you settle the house, and I’ll get my wish.”
Cary could not say anything else.
In The Grant family for so many years, their annual dividends are actually quite a lot, but to raise a family and buy a house in B City, it is indeed a bit difficult.
After a few moments of small talk, Lindsey woke up from her nap, and when Bruce heard her yell, he left Cary and ran back to the bedroom with a nervous look on his face.
“What’s wrong?” Taking a few steps to the window and sitting down, Bruce looked at her with amusement. “Dreaming?”
“Why didn’t you sleep.” Lindsey rubbed her eyes and fell into his arms with a delicate, soft voice. “I woke up and didn’t see you. I thought you were back in the army.”
“You can’t let go of me so soon?” Bruce looked down and kissed her forehead, teasing, “Who said you could do it without me.”
“Not me, anyway.” Lindsey argued weakly, then added, “I want to eat roast duck, I haven’t had it in a long time.”
Bruce rubbed the top of her head, picked her up horizontally, and went to the bathroom with smooth steps. “Okay, I’ll go get it for you myself later. Brush your teeth and wash your face first.”
“Mmm.” Lindsey lazily answered, took the toothbrush he handed over, squeezed the toothpaste and started brushing her teeth.
After she knew she was pregnant, she became more and more sleepy, as if she couldn’t get enough sleep, and she didn’t know if she would be able to carry on after school started.
After washing up and going out, it was still early for dinner, so Lindsey thought about it and dragged Bruce for a walk around the yard.
In the fall, there are basically no flowering plants in the yard, Lindsey walked for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of a small dog barking at the root of the wall not far away.
Bruce also heard the barking, he was worried that it was a stray dog, so he stopped Lindsey and rushed forward without a word. “I’ll go see, you stay here and be good.”
His nervous attitude about everything made Lindsey nostalgic and a little funny. “Okay.”
Bruce saw a happy smile on her face, also followed the smile, a few steps over, quietly collected the force slowly towards the wall to approach the past.
“Woof woof …” the dog seemed to sense danger approaching and barked uneasily again.
Bruce stood not far from the probe to look, found that there are actually three puppies, and all black back, suddenly feel surprised to greet Lindsey. “Lindsey, you quickly come over to see, here are three puppies.”
“So many?” Lindsey was deeply surprised and ran over with a happy face. “Where is it, let me see.”
“You slow down, don’t keep running, my heart is making you jump out of your chest.” Bruce reached out to hold her body, inclined his head to look at the ground behind the flower bed and nuzzled: “Here it is, and it’s all black-backed.”
“Ask about the logistics of how we get dogs in our yard.” Lindsey thought it was strange, too.
Usually stray dogs are the kind of small dogs or pet dogs, usually working dogs are rarely lost.
“No need to ask the logistics, do you see, there is a dog hole over there.” Bruce pointed to the root of the wall, “It seems to be newly plowed, I’ll go out and take a look.”
“I’m going out there too.” Lindsey looked at it and thought she would have no problem getting up there.
Bruce, of course, did not agree, she was pregnant, and not the usual. To be on the safe side, neither of them ended up going over the wall, but opened the small door at the back and went back the short way around.
Lindsey looked along the road, did not see where there is a dog shadow, casually said: “Do you think the dog mother is not back.”
“Maybe she ate something unclean and got sick.” Bruce wrinkled his brow and sighed, “I hope I think too much.”
After walking forward for a while, Lindsey stopped in her tracks, pointed to a trash can not far away, and suddenly turned around and dry heaves.
Bruce took a look, but it was a long-dead dog, did not hold back a moment, also dry heaving.
No wonder the puppy in the yard barked so miserably, the original dog mother has been killed.
“Go back, we are not looking, inform the logistics to get a kennel, and brew some milk powder to feed those puppies.” Lindsey threw up for a while, felt a little better, pulled Bruce back. “The dog’s mother died too badly.”
Bruce tightened the force in his hand, couldn’t help but look back at the dog mom’s body again, his heart faintly floating gloom.
The alley behind the courtyard is too small for people to pass by, and the logistics come every few days to clean up the trash, how could someone have dropped the dead dog in and not noticed.
Back in the yard, Bruce looked at the puppies and forbade Lindsey from touching them. Then he called logistics and came over with gloves and disinfectant solution and took the puppies away and disinfected the ground in the process.
“That puppy shouldn’t be dangerous, why don’t you let me touch it.” Lindsey was puzzled by what he was doing. “Do you suspect something.”
Bruce lifted his arm around her shoulders and spoke out faintly. “We seem to be forgetting someone.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Lindsey tilted her head slightly, her gaze clear as she looked at his well-defined jaw. “You suspect it’s Burton.”
Bruce nodded, but said nothing more.
Back in the parlor, Bruce saw that it was about time, so he left Lindsey behind and greeted Hector to go out to buy roast duck.
Lindsey stayed alone for a while, thinking about the puppies, and couldn’t resist running to the courtyard where the logistics staff lived again and asking to see the puppies.
“Young lady, Bruce said that you can’t touch the puppies now, if you want to see them you have to wait for a few days to make sure there is no source of infection before you can.” The maid in charge of cleaning in the back office stopped her with a difficult face. “The puppies are dirty, so you’d better not go near them.”
Lindsey bristled and backed out speechlessly.
It was just a few puppies, Bruce was making too much of a fuss. But when she thought about it, she was pregnant now, so it was only natural for her to be more careful, so she felt better.
When she returned to the courtyard and sat down, Bruce came back with a roast duck, gave it to the kitchen and smiled mysteriously at Lindsey. “Guess what day it is.”
“What other day could it be.” Lindsey gave him a blank look, and her eyes went back to her laptop screen. “I’m not guessing.”
Bruce scratched his head breathlessly and Slowly pull out a flower from behind him, the flower is named blue siren. “Happy holidays wife.”
“Uh …” Lindsey was flabbergasted to see this blue flower, and it took a while to realize that it was Tanabata.
Raising her eyebrows to meet his gaze, Lindsey pursed her lips and smiled. “Just one flower and you want to buy me?”
Bruce laughed and pulled out another delicate box like a trick, handing it over in a curt manner. “See if you like it.”
“What is it.” Lindsey took it and opened it, and smiled when she saw that there was a fine jade bracelet inside. “When did you buy it.”
“Not bought.” Bruce smiled and sat down next to her, took her hand and carefully put the bracelet on. “It was left behind by Grandma, and Grandpa said that Auntie wore one of these bracelets, and this is the rest for you.”
Lindsey comfortably pillowed on his chest, raised her arm to look up, deliberately tricky. “What do you mean the rest.”
“You know what it means just fine, I said it wrong.” Bruce took her hand and tenderly brought it to his mouth and kissed it. “This pair of bracelets can only be worn by the mother-in-law of The Grant family.”
“It’s so valuable, what if it breaks.” Lindsey was a little worried. “The bracelet you gave me before, it seems to be deformed.”
“It’s okay, if it’s broken, it’s broken.” Bruce guffawed. “Anyway, with or without this thing, your identity will not change.”
Lindsey nodded in satisfaction. “That’s more like it.”
After dinner, Bruce found an excuse to let Hector drive and take Lindsey to the mountains to look at the stars.
Lindsey was bored at home anyway, so she didn’t think much of it.
When the car arrived at the place, Bruce got out and took a look around, greeting Lindsey down.
“Where can I see the stars.” Lindsey looked up at the sky. “I just saw a curved moon.”
Bruce smiled and didn’t explain, but pulled her to the flattest spot at the top of the hill and stood, holding her tightly. “This Valentine’s Day seems to be the first Valentine’s Day we’ve ever had.”
“It seems to be.” Lindsey raised her smile, her eyes curved into a pair of nice crescent teeth, and stood on tiptoe to kiss his chin. “And then what.”
“And then what? Then I’m going to spend Valentine’s Day with you twice a year for the rest of my life.” Bruce lowered his head and sealed her lips with a loving look.
He was so lucky to meet Lindsey, and now she had the fruit of their love in her belly, the most beautiful life could be.
Bruce kissed with great restraint, knowing that she was pregnant, so he only touched her lightly and did not go deeper.
After kissing her for a while, he moved his lips away, smiling, and asked, “Do you want to see more stars?”
Lindsey smiled back. “Sure, as long as you can trick the stars out.”
Bruce threw her a look that said, “Underestimate me,” let her go, reached into his pants pocket for a lighter, and kept walking.
After about 20 meters, he bent down and lit the fireworks that Cary had buried beforehand, and then ran back with his head in his hands.
“Boom” a loud sound, huge fireworks burst in the air, the brilliant colors instantly reflected Lindsey’s face.
Lindsey looked at the man who was running wildly towards himself in the night, his eyes were inexplicably wet.
After years of tossing and turning, he finally kept his word and married himself into the family.
The sound of fireworks bursting was heard one after another, Bruce returned to Lindsey under the sky of brilliant fireworks and got down on one knee again. “Honey, the wedding will be held soon, do you promise to marry me.”
“Yes.” Lindsey arched her eyebrows. “Marry you.”
Bruce got up sharply and happily picked her up in his arms. “Honey, are there enough stars.”
“Enough, quite enough.” Lindsey tightly circled his neck and laughed out loud with happiness.
The fireworks at the top of the hill went on for almost an hour before they stopped, yet just as they stopped, there was an explosion at the bottom of the hill, followed by large fireworks that exploded just a short distance away.
“Who’s at the bottom of the hill?” Lindsey took out her phone to take a few pictures and couldn’t help but ask with a smile. “You didn’t arrange that too, did you.”
“Of course not.” Bruce flatly denied. “This kid probably worships me.”
“Come on, I’ve never seen one that’s more beautiful than you.” Lindsey joked, nestled happily against his chest, and asked with a smile, “You’re going to the army, what if a female soldier likes you.”
Bruce pondered a little and replied with a smile. “Like them if you like them, I don’t like them just fine.”
Lindsey was just joking around, and his answer didn’t really matter.
After watching the fireworks and returning to the old house, it was almost ten o’clock at night. Lindsey turned on her laptop in the living room to brush up on Twitter and felt a little hungry, so she asked Bruce to cook noodles for her.
“Noodles with meat and flowers or egg noodles, not both?” Bruce put down the laptop he was holding and said with a smile, “I’m so happy to cook for my wife.”
Lindsey ignored his flirtation and idly tossed the answer over. “Egg noodles with meat and flowers.”
“Copy that!” Bruce leaned over, kissed her forehead tenderly, and got up to go to the kitchen to cook the noodles.
Lindsey listened to the tinkling sounds coming from the kitchen, and the corners of her lips rose.
In the midst of the distraction, the phone that was left on the coffee table suddenly hissed, followed by an ear-splitting ring.
