His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1174

When Hannah heard this, her anger disappeared utterly. Instead, she casually said, "Who do you take me for? As long as you have me in your heart, there’s nothing you need to be sorry for!"

With that, she leaned into his arms.

Although this beautiful woman had snuggled in his chest, all Ralph could think about was how Alexander was looking for him. Was it illegal for Ralph to burn his own house? If Alexander took back his properties, would it be considered arson?

Although Hannah was a little unhappy when she sensed his absent-mindedness, what he said just now had piqued her interest. "Why would you go to jail? You didn't break any laws."

"I…" Ralph trailed off. After licking his dry lips, he continued, "I burned down my house yesterday.

"You burnt down your own house?!" She looked up at him in surprise and bewilderment. "Why would you burn down your house? Do you mean the Russell Estate?"

"No!" He sighed. Then with her support, the two sat on the sofa, and he roughly told her what had happened yesterday while cuddling her.

"I initially thought my mother would be more lenient with me for the sake of our mother-son relationship. I didn't expect her to be so ruthless. Then my anger got the best of me, and I…was impulsive." Sighing, he buried his face in his hands as if this could shield him from these disturbing things.

However, after listening to him, Hannah did not react negatively. Instead, she seemed focused on something else. "Why did you run back? Is this place not good enough for you? Didn't I tell you to wait for me here? Why did you sneak away behind my back?"

"Of course not!" Ralph turned his head to look at her. "I thought I should try and take whatever properties I have left under my name. That way, we won't suffer in the future.
