The air in the private room seemed to freeze.
Lottie felt so shocked that could not even speak clearly.
Ralph picked up the cup and took a sip, "Are you surprised?"
Lottie quickly nodded.
She did feel very surprised!
She felt as if she was struck by lightning.
For countless times!
How pitiful she was being struck by this news!
Lottie could not think at the moment.
"Have a cup of coffee and calm down."
Ralph poured Lottie a cup of tea thoughtfully, "You don't have to feel embarrassed."
He smiled faintly, "In fact, I've been misunderstood a lot."
"I am ugly, disfigured, and abused his wife. I am abnormal."
Ralph poured himself another cup of tea and said, "Compared with this..."
"I'm old."
"An old man."
"I love you very much."
"I madly pursue you."
Every time Ralph said a word, Lottie's face flushed a little more awkwardly.
Until Ralph finished speaking, Lottie felt extremely embarrassed.
"However, some of these things may be realized."
Lottie was stunned for a moment, and then she carefully thought about it.
She told Ralph that he was old, loved her, and...
Lottie quickly picked up the cup to disguise her anxiety.
What Ralph said must be about age!
Yes, it must be a matter of age. Everyone would grow old.
Certainly... Lottie was sure Ralph didn’t mean that he loved her so much...
After drinking the warm coffee, Lottie calmed down a lot.
She took a deep breath and looked up at Ralph with an embarrassed smile. "Well, I... I thought the big shot Natalia introduced to me should be an old man..."
"So..."
Ralph looked at Lottie, "Isn't it because I don't understand the emoji and speak very stiffly that you recognize me as an old man?"
Lottie, "..."
She raised her hands to surrender, "I'm narrow-minded, and self-righteous!"
"I..."
"Don't be so nervous."
Ralph interrupted Lottie indifferently.
Lottie pursed her lips and looked at him timidly without saying a word.
It was indeed her fault. She really didn't think about that maybe the man was Ralph...
Now that the truth was unveiled, she felt dumb and awkward.
Ralph was her husband, and she could not always hide from him.
They shared the same bed every day, and even planed to have a daughter...
Looking at Lottie's flushed face, Ralph smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not here to blame you."
Ralph said in a low voice, "Since I was a child, I knew what I should do."
"I don't care about anything else except what I'm interested in."
"I marry you, as Elijah and Fabian like you."
Lottie's hands were tightly twisted under the table.
She knew that he was telling the truth.
But...
Lottie felt a little uncomfortable when Ralph put it so casually.
"I'm 28, five years older than you."
"My life is very different from yours."
"In the past, I never felt that five years was a matter, and I didn't think the difference between our lives would have any impacts."
As Ralph spoke, he looked up at Lottie, "But now, I feel that there is a deep gap between us."
