President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 457

Ming’s words made me want to laugh. I looked up at him and said, “I don’t need anyone to protect me. I can protect myself.”

I finished and turned to leave.

As soon as I stepped, I heard him ask, “what about Lester?”

His words stopped me at once.

Ming’s words alarmed me.

When I left him, I bet he didn’t inject Lester with anything, but even now I was not sure.

After all, he was Ming.

He was too insidious, and what he had done showed that he was not kind.

I stood there and clenched my hands.

I didn’t speak. Ming asked me, “how’s Lester doing? Is he in good health? Does he have a fever?”

I chewed my lips with my teeth and advised myself not to be impulsive for many times before I said, “Lester is in good health. Thank you for your concern.”

“All right.” He replied lightly, “if he has a high fever, you can come to me. Maybe it’s not late.”

What did he mean?

His tone was firm!

He was sure Lester would have a high fever!

I couldn’t bet on Lester. I thought about it and asked, “you said Lester would get sick at the age of seven or eight. He is not yet six years old.”

“Everyone is different.”

Ming responded.

I didn’t look back and I couldn’t see his face.

I got flustered, but I was afraid Ming said it on purpose and wanted me to beg him.

I couldn’t get involved with him any more.

But in case Lester...

When I was flustered, there was footsteps outside, and soon I saw Margaret coming. She looked at me and then Ming and said, “Laura.”

“Mom, why are you here?”

I got nervous when I saw Margaret.

I knew Ming wouldn’t do anything in front of me, but I couldn’t help being nervous. I was afraid he would hurt my family.

He would threaten me with my family.

When Ming saw Margaret, he said in a soft and close voice, “Hello, auntie, I’m Laura’s friend.”

He was very good at it. He immediately followed Margaret to call me Laura.

I turned and said unfriendly, “Mr. Jessop, please don’t call me that. Only my mother can call me Laura.”

“Oh, I‘m sorry.” Ming was not angry and smiled, “Auntie, why haven’t you slept yet?”

Ming looked kind. Margaret was in her fifties, but she had spent most of her life in a lunatic asylum and hadn’t seen many people.

She immediately smiled kindly, “Hello, you’re Laura’s friend, aren’t you?”

“No.” I grabbed Margaret and said, “I’m not friends with him. Let’s go back.”

After that, I turned to Ming and said, “Mr. Jessop, I’ll go back to rest with my mother first, and I won’t see you off.”

“Becky.”

“Mr. Jessop, good night.”

I ignored him and took Margaret and left.

I really didn’t want my family to have anything to do with Ming.

I regretted having had such a relationship with Ming.
