Deadly Doting Marriage Novel - Chapter 69
Chapter 69: I Am Just Your Adopted Daughter
“Young master, I will stand by my statement. I will not be the third wheel in your relationship between Sherri and you!” Kathleen said as she looked at the John
She would have to hide her relationship with John.
She looked so weak, but her eyes showed her determination.
John was stunned for a moment, and he grabbed Kathleen’s hand. “I have never thought of letting you be a third whee!”
He had a plan. He…
Kathleen looked back and said mockingly, “But isn’t that the truth?”
Looking at Kathleen’s icy expression, John suddenly stood up and said, “If you want, I can cancel the engagement at any time!”
“No, young master and Sherri are of equal status, and I’m just your adopted daughter, that’s all!”
After saying that, Kathleen shook off John’s hand and turned to leave.
John looked at her leave, and his face turned ugly.
For the next few days, Kathleen took care of John every day.
John’s leg gradually got better under her careful and proper care.
Not only can he walk normally with his prosthetic leg, but the red veins in his eyes are gone, and his body is much stronger than before.
It’s just that they have not done anything out of line since that day.
Whenever John wanted to do something, Kathleen would avoid him. It was as if the two of them could not go back to the past no matter how hard they tried…
The afternoon sun shone, blinding everyone.
John looked at Kathleen, who was cleaning the living room, and said in a deep voice, “Come here,
I have something to say to you!”
Kathleen glanced at him, placed the broom in a corner, and walked in front of John.
John grabbed her hand and said in a deep voice, “Kathleen, I know that you are troubled by the relationship between Sherri and me, but I will give you an explanation for this matter sooner or later!”
“Don’t worry. I will never let you be my mistress!”
Kathleen looked at John with an indifferent expression. “Young master, you don’t have to promise me anything. I’m just your adopted daughter!” “No, you’re not just an adopted daughter of mine…”
‘
‘You’re very important to me.
John had not said the last sentence, but he believed that Kathleen understood it!
He looked at Kathleen’s delicate and pretty face and held her in his arms. “Kathleen, trust me. Sooner or later, we will be able to walk proudly together!” Walk together proudly? Can they really do it?
Kathleen wanted to say something, but she stopped herself.
After John recovered from his injuries, he needed to deal with the company’s matters. After sending Kathleen to school, he drove back to the capital.
When he arrived at his office, John opened the door and walked in.
He was dressed in a black suit. He was tall and had a handsome face. He had stolen everyone’s attention.
However, his usual cold expression had disappeared, and there was a small smile on his face.
The young lady at the front desk in the hall stared at John, and her eyes lit up. “Look, Mr. Lambert hasn’t been here for a few days, and he actually smiled today. He seems to be in a good mood today!”
“Yeah, although he looked stern now, it’s not as scary as before!”
“Good. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief!”
“Inform everyone that the alarm has been lifted. Everyone is safe!”
John would have never expected that the news would have spread throughout the office before he had even stepped foot into his office.
When John walked out of the elevator, he saw the smiling faces of the company’s employees.
“Good morning, Mr. Lambert!” “Mr. Lambert is so handsome today!” “Good morning, Mr. Lambert!”
John nodded and walked into the office.
Sherri had already seen the message from the front desk through the company’s internal chat group.
John’s eyes narrowed when she thought of John’s expression.
He had been gone for a few days. Where had he gone?
He seemed to be in a much better mood today. Had something happened that she did not know about?
Sherri’s eyes sparkled. He stood up and brewed a cup of coffee the way John liked it. He knocked on the door and entered John’s office.
John was talking to Karl when Sherri walked in. John’s expression immediately darkened. “From now on, you’re not allowed to step into my office. Get out of here immediately.”
Sherri looked at John in disbelief. “John, are you crazy? Why are you treating me like this?” “Huh, why do you think I’m treating you like this? Don’t you know what you’ve done?”
John’s face turned cold. He stared coldly at Sherri and said sternly, “You’re despicable. You climbed into my bed and even took photos. You’re really despicable…!”
Hearing his merciless humiliation, Sherri was so angry that she almost cried. “John, I’m your fiancée. It’s only right for me to climb into your bed. How am I despicable?” John’s face turned cold as he said, “You’re nothing if I don’t acknowledge you!”
“Don’t forget how much the Millan family has benefited from you being the Lambart family’s fiancée all these years!”
“Do you want us to break off the engagement right away, or do you want us to be obedient?”
John stood up and approached Sherri. “I don’t understand how you could be so stupid while your father was such a sensible person!”
“I’ve warned you countless times. You are just a fiancée. Stop interfering with my business.”
“You just had to do these things behind my back!”
When he thought of those intimate photos, John was furious. He grabbed onto Sherri’s neck and tightened his grip. “I think you’re tired of living!”
Sherri screamed. “Stop, John. I can’t breathe…”
Sherri’s face was red, and her veins were bulging. She looked like a dying fish.
“Do you still dare to plot against me? !”
“I don’t dare, John…” Sherri was so scared that she was about to cry. “I would not do that ever again…
“It’s good that you’ve learned your lesson!” John’s voice was like the Devil’s, icy. This woman had repeatedly challenged John’s limits. He could not bear it anymore.
John looked at Sherri in disgust, snorted coldly, and released his grip.
Sherri let out a sigh of relief. She slid down the wall and landed on the ground, breathing heavily.
John looked at Sherri coldly. There was no pity in his dark eyes. “This is your last chance. If I find out that you’re plotting against me again, I guarantee that you’ll die a horrible death!”
“What are you waiting for? Get lost!”
“I’ll leave now…”
Sherri knew that John was angry. She did not dare to say anything more. She got up with difficulty and left the office in a hurry.
The office immediately quieted down after she left.
Karl looked at John and quickly lowered his head. “Mr. Lambert, I’ve already printed today’s schedule and placed it on the table!”
“1… I still have some matters to attend to!” He quickly left the office as well..
