Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 66

The first ray of sunshine from the next morning brightened the warm and affectionate room.

Riley woke up.

She used to usually stretch her arms and her body when she woke up. But when she tried to raise her arms that day, she found that she couldn’t move.

She opened her eyes little by little, and her gaze met Euan’s perfect face. Riley lowered her head and found that her pajamas were still on her. But...why was her body held firmly by him?

After rubbing her forehead, Riley understood what had happened. She might have been moving around while she slept last night. Sarah was kicked down the bed when they went on a trip and slept on the same bed.

She tried to imagine what happened last night. Then Riley bit on her lower lips and cursed, fuck!

But she saw Euan’s asleep look under the sunshine as soon as she looked up. Euan’s thin lips were closed, and the eyelashes on his closed eyes were thick. Maybe he was relaxed in his sleep, so his usual cold face was warmer than before.

For the first time, she gazed at her husband like that, an unfamiliar and distant husband.

Her gaze was all on him.

“Euan…”

She called out softly. Euan did not respond and was fast asleep.

She playfully placed her finger under his nose to test his breath. The warm air gushed out from his nose and warmed her finger. It was comfortable.

After indulging and returning to reality, Riley carefully broke away from his arms and pulled out her legs. Then she lifted the blanket and walked out of the bed.

When she walked out of the bedroom, Sophia and Lilah were cleaning the furniture in the living room. The two girls were muttering something and giggling.

Jodie saw Riley had woken up, and she quickly said politely, “Good Morning, Mrs. George. You woke up quite early.”

Riley nodded and said, “Good morning.”

Sophia and Lilah greeted her too. The living room was quiet again because of Riley’s presence. Both of the maids worked in silence.

Riley walked downstairs, “Is the newspaper here?”

“Yes. I have already placed it on the table in the living room. The young master is used to reading newspapers before meals.” Jodie said.

Riley went straight towards the table and opened the newspaper. She wanted to know about the Watson family’s recent situation, hoping that nothing that happened.

Great, there was no news about the Watson. If there was no news, it was good news for her.

But her finger stopped at the headlines and saw the black headline read, “MBK International Corporation won the top of China’s innovative enterprises, and Mr. Euan George was specially interviewed.”

Below that, the words were written clearly, “MBK International Corporation’s CEO is the youngest richest man in the Mainland of China.”

The following figures were the current assets of Euan George.

Riley counted the zeros in the numbers, and put on a contemptuous expression, “He is indeed a senior capitalist, and had a good way in getting money. He had got the money and became the richest man.”

He would have more pride now, and many ladies would probably come to him.

She felt a little uneasy in her. The more excellent and outstanding he was, it would mean that the gap between them was bigger, and she was afraid she had no courage to stand at the same level as him.

Leaving the newspaper on the table, Riley poured a cup of water. Thinking about Hendrix being scolded, she asked casually, “Jodie, how is the situation in George’s mansion?”

Jodie told the real situation, “The Old Master and Madam George are fine. Thank you for the concern.”

Riley held up her cup and drank a mouthful of water, “How about Young Master Hendrix?”

When Jodie heard that she mentioned the Young Master Hendrix and she hesitated for a while and said nothing.

“What’s the matter? Why can’t you say it?”

Jodie told Sophie and Lilah, “Go to the kitchen and check on the soup. Pick the vegetables and wash them.”

After sending away the two maids, Jodie then said, “Young Master Hendrix was beaten up. His injury seemed to be serious. The Old Master grounded him and asked Dr. Rose to check on him. I went to take care of Young Master Hendrix and found out that his clothes were stained with blood...I don’t know what he had done that made the Old Master so angry.”

Riley’s grasp on the cup was tighter. Jakub was so cruel that he could even be so cruel to his son?

“Didn’t Young Master Hendrix say anything?”

He had stopped disturbing her these few days. It might be because he was grounded at the George mansion. Thinking about it, she felt pity for the Young Master Hendrix.

Jodie shook her head, “No, we did not dare to ask either.”

Riley looked at Jodie’s eyes that were diverting from her. Riley guessed that she knew something but could not reveal her master’s condition due to her identity.

“Well, it’s okay. Go ahead and do what you have to do.”

After having breakfast, Euan went to work, and Riley was planning to finish her thesis. She had not much time left that the end of the month was around the corner.

After reading for a while in the morning, as she turned on the computer to prepare for the topic, the phone rang.

She picked it up casually and held it to her ears with her shoulder, as she typed and said, “Hello?”

There was no one speaking from the other end, so she asked, “Who is on the line?”

There was still no voice from the other end, “Speak or I’ll hang up the call.”

There was still no response.

Riley took her phone and saw that it was a call from the internet, and it was a series of irregular numbers. It must be someone who had dialed the wrong number.

After a while, William called.

“Dr. Watson, is your arm feeling better now?”

Riley heard his gentle voice and she was relaxed again, “Much better. Thank you for your concern.”

“It’s my duty. You are injured during working hours. Wouldn’t it be not appropriate if I do not express my sympathy as your superior?”
