Chapter 7‘
Looking at the man’s firm profile, the breath I had forced to hold was gone. My stomach was instantly churning with pain and my eyes went black. I completely fainted.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the snow–white ceiling. I turned my head and found that my mother was sitting by the bed with tears in her eyes.
Dimitri looked at me seriously. I quickly got up, with a tearing pain. I laid down again and I found that I was wrapped like a mummy, with only my face and fingers left.”

When my mother saw that I woke up, she hurried to call the doctor. Dimitri sat in front of me and intensely looking at me.” “Do you know who I am?“>

I nodded. “You’re a noble man that everyone talks about. Your ancestors are famous nobles – your father, your uncle. In fact, your family company has become priority and spread all over the world.“}
In California, there were not only wealthy people like Richard, but also many low–key and hidden noble families.
The Lafayette Family was a top family and they were the people that the prime minister shook hands with in the past. Dimitri was even more elusive. Some people said that he was sent abroad by the country because of a secret mission. Some people said that he was training special forces.}
In short, Dimitri was a representative figure among the three generations of the Lafayette Family. At the age of 18, he destroyed the largest fraud gang and at the age of 20, he gathered the underworld team and successfully quelled social unrest.
I narrated nervously and stuttered, not knowing how I met this big man.”
A chuckle sounded in my ear and a rough big hand pinched my fingers and gently stroked them, “I knew you were a heartless person. You slept with me and ran away and now you still want to deny it.”}
I stared at Dimitri in a daze, looking at his aggrieved expression. The figure on the frosted glass that day suddenly flashed in my mind. I shuddered and retracted my fingers in a hurry. God, I didn’t take advantage of him that day, did I? What did he mean by then?”
I was a married woman!!
A sense of sadness suddenly surged up, a married woman? Abandoned woman was more sounded like it. Richard should be accompanying Afro at the moment. Feeding her? Washing her feet?}
Dimitri saw my expression suddenly dim and quickly reached out to grab my finger, “Quinni, although you were drunk that day, it was you who provoked me, I am willing to take responsibility.”
A faint blush appeared on his face, “Actually, I was very happy that day. As long as you are willing, I can marry you immediately. If you think it is hasty, I can make careful preparations.”
“You are my first woman in so many years. I am a responsible person. You don’t‘ have to worry.”
Looking at Dimitri’s increasingly red ears, I was also very nervous. How could I respond to this? Should I say that I was promiscuous after drinking and abandoned him in the end?
I shrank into the quilt awkwardly, leaving only my eyes exposed. I met Dimitri’s bright eyes, I quickly closed them and pretended to be dead. Fortunately, my mother came quickly.
“Doctor, please take a look. My daughter had just woken up, but now she has fallen asleep again.”
A chuckle came from my ear, “Auntie, she’s okay. She’s just tired. She’ll be fine.”
I stayed in the hospital for a week and Dimitri stayed with me for a week. Every day, he was like a typical husband, buying me some food, fetching water and fed the medicine on me.}
Watching him clumsily serving soup, I wanted to do it myself, but he held me down every time. The nurses all teased me with their sayings.
“Ms. Lawrence, your husband is so perfect to you. He’s gorgeous and considerate.”}
“Ms. Lawrence, if my husband had half the fortune of your husband, I would be very happy.”
My mom also held my hand and said earnestly, “Quinni, I was so anxious when I saw you being taken away that day. At that moment, I suddenly realized that he wanted to protect my daughter. I couldn’t be in distress anymore.”
