The CEO's Switched Bride Chapter 277
In the hall of the hotel, Patrick said to me, "Miss Jetson, the investor is quite concerned about this project. Knowing that you were here, he asked me to take you to the construction site and check its detailed situation this afternoon. If you don't have any concerns, we will get a contract signed first within today or within tomorrow at the latest."Hearing his words, I frowned slightly. "How come we have to sign the contract so fast?"I had taken on many projects before, either big or small. It was indeed the first time that I had seen such an anxious investor.Sensing my attitude, Patrick, who seemed to fear that I would go back on my words, quickly said, "How come you think so? It is not fast at all. Can't you see how much time this year has passed? If we don't move fast, we probably will have to do the plan next year. In that case, the investor will have to spend a lot more money, won't he?"Calculating, the time, I knew Patrick's words did make sense.The City was different fro

The moment I entered the private room, I saw two familiar faces sitting inside. One was in charge of the construction of this project and the other was Director Cooper of the design institute.After we all sat down, there was a vacant seat..I was sure that the seat was for the investor.Crack.As soon as I sat down and put my bag aside, the door to the private room opened again.A waiter came over first, made a gesture, and said to the person outside, "Mr. Mitaka, this way please."Mr. Mitaka?As soon as I heard him, my brain was in a buzz!The next second, I saw Dave walking into the private box slowly from outside.He was dressed in a set of stiff suits of matte gray color and his hair seemed shorter than it had been a few years ago.His facial features remained the same however, his skin seemed slightly darker.Originally, I thought I was strong enough but as soon as I saw him, I felt my heart seemed to have been torn apart by an invisible hand.Patrick stood up first and introduc

"Old woman, are you blind?" The girl rolled her eyes at me.The boy next to her hugged her and kissed her cheek, saying, "Don't bother with her. Seeing her dress like this, it surely has been a long time since she made love with a man.""Haha, I think so as well. Nobody nowadays will dress like this. Does she think that she is shooting a TV drama?"The girl laughed happily.I picked up my bag and walked over, intending to reason with them and get them to apologize to me. However, a tall figure flashed past me first.Dave walked straight to the front of the young couple and commanded, "Apologize to her."The young couple didn't seem to expect a man to appear. They looked at Dave with disdain on their faces.The boy said, "Who are you? Are you trying to act as a hero to save a beauty? Saving this old woman?"The boy's words sounded so harsh to me.I'm only 30 years this year. How come I am an old woman?Dave didn't answer his question instead, he repeated, "Apologize to her."The boy ey

Dave looked straight at me with complicated emotions in his eyes, "Talk to me with the voice you asked me to watch out just now.""Isn't my voice just now the same as my current one?"I smiled awkwardly, feeling quite regretful in my heart.Unexpectedly, Dave even remembered my former voice."No." He frowned, "Say 'Watch out'.""Watch out."I said as I disguised my voice."No, not like that." The disappointment in Dave's eyes couldn't be more obvious.I couldn't help but persuade him, "Mr. Mitaka, I accidentally spoke in that voice because of my emotion just now. Is there any problem?"Dave seemed to have been convinced.He stopped grabbing my chin with his fingers, shook his head, and said thoughtfully, "Nothing. It's just that your voice just now sounds like someone I know."I fell silent and didn't reply.I know whose voice my voice just now sounded like the best.I said while holding my bag in my hands, "Mr. Mitaka, then I'll go back first. You should go back and rest early."Aft

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mitaka, what does this mean?" Although I was uneasy in my heart, I pretended to be puzzled, saying, "Could it be that you intend to arrange for me to live in your house?""Do you want to live in my house?"By the time Dave spoke, he had taken my luggage out of the car.He had a complex expression on his face.I hurried over and took my leather suitcase over, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mitaka. I will stay in a hotel."As I said that, I pulled my suitcase and walked out.To pretend that I was unfamiliar with the place, I deliberately headed in the opposite direction of the exit of the residential quarter.Dave looked at me from behind but didn't call me back.I didn't look back. I just walked forward with no hesitation. Knowing that it was a wrong road, I had no intention of turning back.Finally, the sound of Daves leather shoes came from behind.He came over, grabbed the bar rod of my suitcase, and said in a low voice, "You're going in the opposite direction. It's not an exit.""

After putting me down, he took the umbrella in my hand and returned to the driver's seat. Squinting at me, he asked, "It's raining. Why did you walk in the direction of the mountain?""No, I was heading to the subway station." I explained.Hearing my words, Dave frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't I get to know you have a terrible sense of direction before? You walked in the opposite direction."His words were like a bomb.I couldn't help but be nervous as I quickly said, "Mr. Mitaka, it was just yesterday that you got to know me."Squinting at me out of the corner of his eyes, Dave focused on driving saying nothing further.The car drove all the way to Unit. 1. I couldn't be more familiar with this place.Watching the car enter the residential quarter, I asked quickly, "Mr. Mitaka, where are we going?"Dave said nothing.Feeling terrified, I grabbed the handle of the car door and said nervously, "Mr. Mitaka, if you're planning to take me to your house, I'm going to jump out the c

Oogway looked at Dave, who was pulling me, and finally showed an indignant expression, "Dave, I know that Alina is similar to her. This is one of the reasons why I paid attention to her but I hope you can understand that five years ago...""Shut up!" Dave immediately interrupted Oogway's words and looked at him gloomily, "Uncle Oogway, it's time for you to leave.""Let go of Alina. I need to treat her injury.""Alina?" Dave looked at Oogway and sneered, "Uncle Oogway, you'd better mind your own business. I will deal with her injury.""Mr. Mitaka."I turned around and broke free from Dave's restraint then I stood a meter away from him.Dave looked at me and frowned slightly.Seeing that he wanted to say something, I snapped, "I found it strange before. As the President of Mitaka Group, you can get any woman you want however, you took care of me, an insignificant designer well. I have been wondering whether I am so charismatic to make you pay special attention to me, Mr. Mitaka." I pau

Oogway's room was as clean as it used to be many years ago.I took a shower quickly and got changed.Wiping my hair, I walked out of the bathroom.Oogway was sitting in the hall with a book in hand. Seeing me, he put down the book and walked quickly to me. Helping me to the sofa, he said in a warm tone, "Let me help you check your injury then I'll go buy the medicine."Oogway was down on his knees in front of me, holding my left foot with both hands, he gently twisted it."Hiss..." Feeling much pain, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.Oogway immediately lessened his strength and said with a slight frown, "You didn't hurt your bones. Even so, I'd better go out and buy a spray. Wait for me here."He spoke as he got up and walked out.As he was about to go out, he reminded me, "Don't move randomly.""Okay." I nodded.After Oogway went out, I didn't move. Sitting on the sofa obediently, I looked around.His home was as it used to be, looking minimalistic. There was nothing else but

Soon, we arrived at the floor where Jessica's ward lay. When we went over, a nurse happened to come out of it. Upon seeing us, she greeted Oogway respectfully, "Dean Oogway.""Yes." Oogway nodded and asked, "How's Miss Jessica?"After Jessica was transferred here, Oogway completed the registration for her under the name of Jessica Drake.As for this, I didn't raise any objections about it. Because in my opinion, the Newman Family no longer regarded her as a family member.The nurse replied, "The patient has fallen asleep. I measured her temperature just now. It's normal. This afternoon, we examined her, only to find that she is seriously malnourished. She suffers from a low degree cataract in her eyes. More heinously, there are parasites inside her body. Besides..."Standing there, the nurse told us about the situation of Jessica roughly.Hearing the ins and outs, Kelvin looked serious on the side.Oogway asked, "Can we go in and have a look at her?""Yes. But she has fallen asleep. H

Kelvin spoke loudly over the phone.Moreover, it was pretty quiet inside the car. Oogway seemed to hear his words and glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Is Mr. Kelvin coming over?"I nodded.Oogway immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a room for him on the top floor of the rehabilitation center.""Well, sorry to trouble you."I was grateful for Oogway's attentiveness.As we were about to arrive home. I suddenly remembered something and said to Oogway, "Can you take me somewhere?""Yes, I can." Oogway nodded.I got an address online and sent it to him.Oogway immediately turned the car around and drove there with me.As he turned the car around, he raised his hand and looked at me with some displeasure, saying, "In the future, wherever you want to go, just tell me directly. You don't have to ask my opinion first. I will always be available for you."I nodded. Only after that did I tell him where I was going.It was a light and textile market selling cloth and hand made craf

I went up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc

I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another

The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were

Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o

I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon

There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,

It was night. Even so, I could clearly feel Oogway kept staring at me closely with his pair of profound eyes.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and left.After he left, Bryan, who had been following Dave, suddenly ran over, "Mom, let's set off fireworks together!""Ah... Okay." I nodded.At this moment, Jamin, who had been standing outside all this while, turned around and entered the room.In the blink of an eye, only the three of us were outside the house.We set off most of the fireworks. By the time it was 1 a.m., Bryan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Thus, we stopped setting off the fireworks.The maid took the fireworks into the room.Holding Bryan in my arms, I said to Dave, "Then we will go back."After that, I turned around, intending to ask the driver to drive us back, only to be suddenly pulled by Dave. Then, I heard his magnetic voice, "Stay here tonight."My heart thumped."Being here without Oogway.. Won't that mean..."In fact, I didn't want to leave a
