Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride
Chapter 1206 - 1201: Bribing the Housekeeper
Especially the fingers that touched Hannah Hargrave’s shoulder, washed with hand sanitizer many times.
Panda Eyes was the same, after taking a shower under the showerhead, Nicholas Croft even helped it brush its teeth, only allowing it onto his bed once it was clean.
With the master’s command, Panda Eyes stood in front of the bed and barked impolitely, "Woof woof..." Suddenly, it scared Hannah Hargrave who woke up from a sweet dream.
She initially wanted to curse the beast for disturbing her good dream, but seeing the man standing by the bed, Hannah Hargrave bit her lip shyly.
"You’re up," having become "real" husband and wife, Hannah Hargrave was much more bashful, wrapped in the quilt and sat up. When the patches of evident marks on the sheets came into view, her face turned even more bashful.
"Get up and have breakfast." Nicholas Croft said blandly, glancing at those marks with no expression on his handsome face; it was expected, plus Auntie Wang arranged it quite similarly.
After speaking, he turned and walked out of the room; Panda Eyes barked unfriendly at Hannah Hargrave a few more times, and followed the master out as he reached the door.
Hannah Hargrave stretched her aching arms, her whole body felt like it was crushed by a large stone. She lifted the quilt from around her body, revealing a neck and collarbone covered with marks, some places even had bite marks...
"Bad man!" she pouted and complained, but the corners of her mouth were lifting.
She got up from the bed, nearly tripping as her feet went weak standing on the floor.
Seeing the shredded nightdress on the floor, she bent down to pick it up and walked towards the bathroom with a smile.
No man has been faithful since ancient times, previously treating her like an enemy, yet at night being just as fierce.
When Hannah Hargrave walked downstairs, Nicholas Croft was already sitting at the dining table having breakfast. Seeing Auntie Wang also seated at the dining table eating breakfast, Hannah Hargrave frowned unhappily.
After approaching, she still handed over the red envelope in her hand, her lips curled into a dignified smile, saying, "Auntie, here’s a red envelope for you, I’ll be relying on you in the future."
Hannah Hargrave was good at winning people over, realizing Nicholas Croft only hired one housekeeper, she prepared a big red envelope for her.
After Sophie Foster’s car accident, Xiao Mei resigned, feeling she hadn’t taken good care of the wife, so had no face to stay.
Seeing the bulging red envelope on the table, that thickness was at least tens of thousands, Auntie Wang looked helplessly at Nicholas Croft, not reaching out.
Nicholas Croft picked a small dish, not raising his eyes, his expression was calm, "Take it."
Auntie Wang glanced again at the bulging red envelope, wiping her hands on the apron on her chest, she picked up the red envelope, put it in her apron pocket, and said with a smile, "Thank you."
The polite two words lacked a title.
After putting the red envelope away, Auntie Wang got up to serve Hannah Hargrave a bowl of porridge, also picking a main dish onto the small plate in front of her. Seeing the yellow millet porridge and the cornmeal steamed bun on the plate, Hannah Hargrave instinctively frowned, "Auntie, is there nothing else to eat at home?"
Auntie Wang widened her eyes in confusion, "What’s wrong, Miss Hai? Don’t you like it? The sir and madam both like to eat this..."
Seeing Hannah Hargrave’s face turning visibly cold, Auntie Wang chuckled, "Look at me, just can’t handle things, one emperor one order, you tell me what you like to eat, I’ll make it right now."
Seeing the auntie so opportunistic, Hannah Hargrave raised her brows in satisfaction, grabbed a spoon and tasted a scoop of millet porridge before saying, "Fry two eggs, single side please." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"You wait, I’ll go make it now." Auntie Wang said cheerfully as she walked into the kitchen.
