Chapter 13: Walker Richter, Let’s Get Reacquainted
The snow finally stopped today.
My cell phone rang at that moment and it was Pear orchard’s landline number.
Aunt Lexi said anxiously on the phone, “Young Lady, SWEETHEART has a high fever.”
Sweetheart was sick for the first time, and Walker Richter, while not treating me well, was kind to Sweetheart, hiring the best nanny to take care of Sweetheart exclusively.
I told Aunt Lexi to take it to the hospital right away, and I went straight to the hospital from this side.
When I arrived, Aunt Lexi & Kelly Zex had just arrived at the hospital with their children as well.
The hospital was owned by THE Richter Group, and SWEETHEART had alerted the people on the old side of the mansion as soon as she arrived at the hospital.
Mr. Richter’s mother and Fin Wilson arrived in a hurry.
The old lady asked the doctor about sweetheart’s condition, and after that, she scolded the servants, Aunt Lexi said she was sorry, and Kelly Zex hid behind Aunt Lexi, with her head down, looking like a thief.
The ‘mom’ in me was also too scared to say anything.
My mother-in-law, Fin Wilson, advised, “Mom, don’t be angry, take care of your health, it’s normal for children to be sick, the doctor has said that after the fever is gone, you’ll be fine.”
Mr. Richter’s mother smoothed out her breath and shooed Aunt Lexi, Kelly Zex all the way back, her eyes going to me, “Bella, you’re coming out here with me.”
Fin Wilson was in the ward tending to sweetheart, and I followed Mr. Richter’s mother out.
I prepared myself for Mr. Richter’s mother to rise to the occasion, “Grandma, I’m sorry.”
I’m not Sweetheart’s real mother, so I’m not really interested in Sweetheart, but when I see her suffer, it’s like a knife scraping my heart.
Where is my poor boy, at this moment?
Who takes care of you when you are sick?
Is it as hard as sweetheart?
Suddenly my hand was warm, Mr. Richter’s mother took my hand and said in a serious tone, “Bella, don’t blame yourself, grandma didn’t mean to blame you, I know Walker is not interested in you, and lately he has been hanging out with that vixen, so you have been aggrieved, don’t worry, there is a grandma, she will be the master of your case, grandma! This life was saved by you, if anyone bullies you, they’re just messing with me, an old woman.”
Bella Hill is lucky to have Mr. Richter’s mother siding with her.
I don’t know what’s going on with this life-saving favor, I can only sell myself in front of the old lady, “Grandma, I don’t feel aggrieved, and don’t worry about what’s going on between Walker and I. He’s been busy with work lately, and I know all about it, and I can understand it, and he’s quite good to me.”
“Really?” Mr. Richter’s mother was a little disbelieving.
I took the old lady’s arm, “But why have I heard that you still sleep in separate rooms.”
I was momentarily speechless, gingerly, Mr. Richter’s mother was at the old mansion, but Pear orchard knew all about it.
The old lady added, “Don’t make excuses for him, my own grandson, I still don’t know what kind of temperament he has? I’ll have that brat come to the hospital later.”
Mr. Richter’s mother and Fin Wilson stayed at the hospital until Sweetheart’s fever had subsided, and the hospital made it best to keep her in the hospital for a night’s observation, while I stayed behind to take care of Sweetheart.
I sat by the hospital bedside to watch over SWEETHEART, the little girl had suffered and had just fallen asleep, her long, curly eyelashes still stained with tears, it was heartbreaking to watch.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
With a soft heart, I leaned over and kissed SWEETHEART’s little cheeks and whispered, “Little baby, grow up fast, yo.”
It is the greatest wish of every mother to let her child Randy grow up well and happily.
The night is getting late.
The temperature plummeted, and snowflakes fluttered outside the window, so I took off my shoes and carefully lay down next to SWEETHEART, my hand patting SWEETHEART’s chest and humming a little tune.
Drowsiness set in and before I knew it, I was asleep.
I seem to have had a very, very long dream, in a thick fog, all around the children’s laughter, they chased, playful, the fog gradually dispersed, a little girl sitting on the ground in a pink tutu, pink, especially cute.
The little girl crawled towards me, screaming for her mommy.
My boy.
I was so happy that I ran towards the child.
When I ran over, the child was suddenly gone.
The scene changed, the child fell into Bella Hill’s hands, she held the child and smiled grimly at me, “Alva Hill, you’re still a bit young to fight with me, you want the child, get down on your knees and beg me.”
I didn’t hesitate to get down on my knees and beg her, but all I got in return was her laughing with glee and the baby’s incessant crying, which intertwined with the laughter and ignited all my madness, making me nearly collapse.
Suddenly, Bella Hill lifts the child and, with a sinister look, slams the child hard to the ground.
“Don’t.”
The cries were gone, reduced to a puddle of blood flowing in front of me.
…
“Give me back my child.”
I struggled to wake up from my nightmare, my forehead and back were covered in a cold sweat, I was in shock when a creepy voice suddenly emerged from the room.
“Having a nightmare?”
I jerked my head up as Walker Richter’s cold face zoomed in front of my eyes, startling me so much that I subconsciously jerked backward and fell under the bed with a crash behind me.
Walker Richter’s face immediately went cold, “Am I that intimidating?”
I sucked in a breath of cold air as I fell on my ass and took a moment to get up, “You showing up out of the cold would scare anyone else.”
Because of the nightmare, my tone was also very bad.
Walker Richter looked at me askance, his demeanor indifferent to the point of being almost cold, “If you can take care of SWEETHEART, I don’t have to show up here.”
Does that mean I’m to blame for Sweetheart’s illness?
I bristled, “I had the baby, what did you do but provide a sperm and hire a nanny for sweetheart? Don’t forget, you were with your old flame when sweetheart got sick.”
“Bella Hill,” Walker Richter said, his eyes a shade darker, squeezing out the words almost through clenched teeth.
Thinking of my plan to also make Walker Richter fall in love with me, immediately curbed my temper, collected the thorns in my body and became meek: “Husband, don’t be angry, I am also jealous before I speak out of turn, who let you be with Pheobe Wilson every day, she threatened to be Ms. Richter, how can I not worry about it. ”
My temper softened, and the hostility in Walker Richter collected.
After all these days together, I realized that as soon as I called him my husband, his temper would tighten up.
“Eat these.” Walker Richter pointed to the boxed lunch next to him.
I’ve been taking care of SWEETHEART and I haven’t eaten dinner, and I’m still really hungry.
It’s a good thing Walker Richter had a conscience and knew to bring me food.
“Thank you husband.”
I realized the ‘thank you’ was a bit premature when I opened the box and took a bite.
The food was so cold and salty that it was impossible to swallow.
Walker Richter looked at me with a grin, “How does it taste?”
I raised a smile that was worse than a cry, “The food my husband brought is naturally delicious.”
“Then eat more.”
Walker Richter seems to be in a good mood, the corners of his mouth curving up into a shallow curve.
In all the time I’ve spent with Walker Richter, this is the first time I’ve seen him smile.
Walker Richter is already a siren looking man, and this smile makes him even more sirenish.
It was really as cloudy as rumored.
I buried my head and continued to eat, so salty that I drank two large glasses of water, which finished my meal.
When I finished the last sip of water, I looked up and ran into his secretive eyes.
I giggled inwardly, swallowed, and called out to him, “Honey?”
Walker Richter’s face cleared and he said, “I’ll squint for a while.”
With that, Walker Richter actually went to the bed next to him and laid down.
The hospital room was suddenly quiet, and I was actually in a trance for a moment.
Outside the window, snow is flying, inside the house, sweetheart and Walker Richter are already asleep, actually have a feeling of the quiet years.
The next day.
After the doctor gave SWEETHEART a full body checkup, he made sure there were no more problems and discharged her.
Walker Richter walks ahead with his baby in his arms and I follow a step behind.
He sent us back.
“Sir is back.”
When we arrived at Pear orchard, Kelly Zex was the first to come out to greet us, trotting up and down with two piles of flesh calling out from her chest, tantalizingly close.
I, the young lady, was completely ignored.
Walker Richter responded tersely and carried the baby up the stairs, Kelly Zex tried to follow her up and I called out to her, “Kelly Zex, go help in the kitchen and add two extra dishes for lunch.”
Kelly Zex is a bit reluctant, but doesn’t dare to retort.
“Yes, Young Lady.” Kelly Zex glanced obsessively at Walker Richter’s back before heading to the kitchen.
I’m still trying to seduce Walker Richter, where can I let Kelly Zex get the jump on me.
After dismissing Kelly Zex, I went upstairs as well.
Walker Richter placed SWEETHEART in her crib, carefully tucked her in, and barked out another note from the nanny’s doctor.
Actually, Walker Richter counts as a competent father.
I sometimes envy Bella Hill for having such a lovely daughter, the love of Ulysses Will, and such a handsome, golden husband as Walker Richter.
“Think what?”
Walker Richter’s voice yanked me out of my funk, the babysitter had already gone out, and I looked at Walker Richter and asked earnestly, “Walker Richter, how about we get reacquainted?”
Walker Richter frowned, “What are you trying to pull again.”
“Your first impression of me may not be very good, so I want you to reacquaint yourself with me, with three months as the deadline, in these three months, if I can make you fall in love with me, you have to make up for the wedding in style, I want to be the real Ms. Richter, if I can’t do it, I’ll let grandma give you that ten percent of the shares, and I’ll be out of the house in net, how about that. “
