Little Cute Wife

Chapter 36 Last Night Was a Dream

Then, the door was shut.

It was so quiet in the house.

Louis said in a very cold voice, "there are some pinholes on the condoms, how do you explain?"

Jessica was nervous.

And she realized that she lost her mind just now.

She got rid of him immediately and wiped her tears. She tried to hide her nervousness and she pouted her lips, answered, "I have nothing to explain."

Then she was about to turn around and left. But she was pulled by him fiercely.

"Hey!"

She felt into his arms.

Before she was about to react, she was hugged by his tough arms.

"Louis..."

She raised her head and she was kissed by him.

She could feel that there seemed to be a tempestuous storm in her mind and she lost her mind because of his kiss.

She didn't try to get rid of him but was obsessed with the kiss.

That was the kiss Louis wanted the most.

Louis lips were rubbing her soft lips and he didn't want to stop. Then he said in a husky voice and gave her a gentle hug, "Jessica, you just drive me crazy...'

Jessica...

Her heart was pounding faster.

What he said that gently to her was like a

He looked down and kissed her face and tried to wipe her tears.

Then he held her cheek and he looked a bit sorrowful. He said in a lower voice, "Jessica, can you sleep with me tonight?"

Jessica couldn't say a word but her tears were welling up in her eyes.

Why... why did her heart ache...

It was dark at night.

No light was on, and the room was dark.

Jessica was lying on the bed and her eyes were open.

Louis was lying next to her and breathed calmly.

He was holding her in his arms tightly, but he didn't do anything else.

He was so quiet tight.

No, he was always that quiet.

Even his heart was pounding peacefully.

After a while, he sighed.

"Sorry, Jessica. I scared you tonight. But, but I just want someone to accompany me when I am sleeping."

Her fingers were trembling.

She was also upset.

She was in silence.

Louis buried his face in her neck. Few moments later, he said to Jessica in a husky voice, "today is my mom's memorial day."

Jessica could feel that his body was trembling.

And she felt that he was so sad.

He was always a haughty, indifferent and tough man, but now he was like a vulnerable kid who was snuggling up against her shoulder.

At this moment, Jessica realized what he meant by looking for someone to sleep with him.

No wonder he called Benjamin Carter's wife Aunt Shirley.

She wasn't his mother...

She didn't know how to comfort him but gently patted his back until the midnight...

He thought Jessica fell asleep, and he whispered to her ears.

Then he fell asleep soundly...

But she felt so cold in her heart after hearing what he said.

And she didn't close her eyes until the next morning.

Because he said, "Jessica, don't fall in love with me..."

The next morning.

The ringtone broke the silence.

Jessica didn't fall asleep the whole night though her eyes were closed.

She felt that Louis who was holding her arms suddenly left.

A moment later, she heard that Louis was talking in a lower and gentle voice,

"...I got that. Aunt Shirley, I'll be back later."

She noticed that he hanged up the phone but she didn't dare to open her eyes and she pretended to be sleeping.

She could hear that he was dressing.

And then he walked to the door and closed it.

Only Jessica was left in the house.

Jessica didn't open her eyes until she didn't hear any sound.

The room was empty except the fancy decoration, and she could only feel nothing but lonely.

Louis just left without saying anything.

It seemed that last night was just a dream.

She was a bit sad...

The house of the Carters.

"

"Louis, you're back!" Shirley went over to Louis as soon as he saw Louis who was in the wheelchair. She asked him while she was pushing the wheelchair forward, "why did you leave the hospital yesterday? Why didn't you come home first? Louis, your dad and I are so worried about you."

Louis slightly pursed his lips and replied, "I'm fine, how about he?"

"He's better now, but don't make him angry when he comes. All right?" Shirley's eyebrows tightly furrowed and she looked a bit worried.

Louis nodded his head and went inside the study.

There was a smell of ink and watercolor in the antique study.

Benjamin was holding a writing brush and writing forceful brush strokes which were full of the accent of randomness in calligraphy.

He didn't raise his head and didn't even look at Louis but snapped at Louis,

"You are willing to come home now? Didn't you kill by the car accident?"

Louis pursed her lips and lifted his eyebrows slightly, "I don't want to die now or no one would bury you when you die."

They were always against with each other every time they met.

Benjamin was pissed off by what he said, he raised his head suddenly and stared at his son who was in the wheelchair and his leg was in the cast. Then he answered, "Never mind, I have lots of sons and grandsons, it doesn't matter you are not there."

Louis argued indifferently, "Then, you don't need to care about me."

He was talking about his marriage with Joyce.

Benjamin frowned and gazed at him. Though he said that he wasn't satisfied with Louis, he loved him so much.

He blew a mustache and put down his writing brush. Then he gazed at Louis like an eagle, "Louis, I hope you will learn a lesson from the car accident."

Louis didn't care what he said and gave a cold and gloomy glance at Benjamin, "I learn a lesson that I shouldn't have promised you five years ago. You just go too far!"

What he mentioned was paying for surrogacy.

Benjamin snorted and said, "Really? But you have to have a son if you want to inherit the Carters Group! That's the tradition and rule of the Carters!"

"Don't I deserve it?" Louis looked at him coldly. "The Carters Group is mine, I deserve it! As long as I insist, I will figure a way to get it myself even though I don't have a son!"

"But you don't want to break the rule." Benjamin's eyebrows tightly furrowed, "I know you are still blaming what happened to your mom on me. I gave you the Carters Group already, and now I just want you to get married, is that hard for you?"

It could be easily seen that Louis's chin was slightly tightened.

But he didn't answer his father's question.

He was silent for a moment that he peeked at his father whose hair was already grey, "do you still remember the promise we made that day?"

"You mean Jessica?" Benjamin frowned and answered, "of course I do."

Benjamin remembered what exactly they talked about that day. The reason why Louis agreed that he hired Jessica as Louis secretary was because their previous agreement.

"You said that if Jessica falls in love with me and has a sex with me, you will ask her to leave immediately and you will transfer those 20% shares of brother to me. Is that correct?" Louis's eyes were hollow and dark.

Benjamin lapsed in silence and he glanced at Louis carefully and now he realized that Louis could hide his emotion so perfectly.

"Louis, I know you don't like your brother. But he didn't interfere in the business of the Carters Group already, but why are you so still so cruel to him?" Benjamin said in a lower voice and nothing would make him more worried about than the broken relationship between brothers.

"Since dad you love him so much, you should have asked Jessica to be my secretary."

"I don't have any choice." Benjamin's eyebrows furrowed and he stared at Louis, chimed, "since you become the CEO of the Carters Group, you fired all those veterans so that no one reports to me the operation of the Carters Group. I am getting older; I know I am useless..."

Louis cut in what he was saying and said, "Really? But these years, you've done lots of things behind me. Do you want me to tell you all?"

"..." Benjamin was left speechless and he stared at Louis, sighed, "I just hired a secretary to help you..."

"Help me?" Louis sneered, "You mean monitor me, right?"

"No matter what you say, since that I promised you, so I will keep my words. I don't care whether Jessica is willing to have sex with you or falls in love with you or not. I am sure that you are so particular to woman and you are a neat freak. I am sure that you won't have sex with Jessica. Or, why you kicked her out of your bed?"

"Really?" Louis lifted his eyebrows and there was no change of his facial expressions. "When do you know me so well, dad?"

"I don't." Benjamin shook his head. "I am just making a bet. Louis, even though Jessica is willing to have sex with you, your brother just loses 20% shares of the Carters Group. I will make it up for him. But you should know that, once you do that, the one who suffers loss must be Jessica. Do you want to see her get hurt?"

What Benjamin said made Louis lapse in silence.

Benjamin sighed. The older, the wiser. No matter who was the winner at the end, the only purpose of Benjamin was to let Louis forget that woman. Seeing the cold expression on Louis's face, he couldn't help sighing, "Do you insist that you will have to own those 20% shares of your brother?"

"Yes."

Louis answered in a cold and lower voice without any hesitation.

Benjamin couldn't help sighing and gazed at his son who was so determined, and he nodded his head a few seconds later, "Fine, let's wait and see."

Obviously, they had their own mind, but who would be the winner at the end depended on how they moved their chess...

In the morning, Jessica got phone call from Martha then she rushed home immediately.

When she got downstairs, she saw a black Audi.

It was an old neighborhood, so the car stood out particularly.

She glanced at the license plate, her heart sunk.

Then she went upstairs.
