Chapter 879:
I knew he was hinting at what had happened between us the first time, and now he was taking the opportunity to tease me. I wasn’t going to let him get away with it.
I smiled and said, “I’ve never been to such a high-end hotel.”
“Of course, you wouldn’t come by yourself. It was me who brought you here.” A hint of a smile played at the corner of Herbert’s mouth.
“Did you? I don’t quite remember. You didn’t bring another woman, did you?” I looked up at him with a playful smile.
Herbert didn’t even glance at me. He walked toward the elevator and said, “I only brought a woman who called me here and stayed the night. In the end, she gave me a $20 reward. It costs more than $150 to book a high-end room here. How much would I lose if I did that every day?”
Hearing this, I pursed my lips and smiled. Then, looking up, I said, “You can sleep with a woman at will, yet you won’t pay the price?”
The elevator door opened, and Herbert and I stepped inside. He looked down at me, smiling, and said, “Of course, I won’t make a losing deal. You’ve become the mother of my children, my wife.”
He reached out and gently touched my face, his eyes filled with love. I felt the warmth of his palm, and my heart swelled with happiness.
Ding!
As the elevator reached the reception floor, I quickly pulled his hand away from my face and said seriously, “We’re here!”
When the door opened, Herbert was already serious, his expression neutral. I took his arm as we walked out of the elevator.
At that moment, the elevator doors opposite us opened, and two people stepped out.
When I saw the man and the woman, I felt a buzz in my head.
I hadn’t expected to run into him here, but thinking about it, it made sense. Although today was a cocktail party for the business world in A City, the business world was always intertwined with the political and legal circles. He was a well-known lawyer in A City, so it made sense for him to be at this event.
Obviously, when the two opposite us saw us, they paused. They probably hadn’t expected to run into us. From dozens of meters away, my gaze met Klein’s in mid-air.
I didn’t dare to look directly into his eyes, so I lowered my head. After all, the person by my side was my husband. Facing Klein, my feelings were very complicated.
I could clearly feel Klein’s gaze on me. It made me uneasy, but Herbert reached out and gently held my arm.
I looked up and met his eyes. Seeing the gentleness in his expression, I smiled softly. I knew he understood me. His reassuring look instantly made me feel much calmer.
Then, Herbert and I took a step forward, and Klein and Ella also walked out of the elevator to meet us.
“Cousin!” Klein was the first to greet Herbert.
