His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 991

Ralph looked at his watch and saw it was 9 p.m. on the dot. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Uneasy, he fiddled with his shirt's collar.

He planned to dress up for tonight's date, but when he was about to put on his tie, Celine, who was passing by, glanced at him and said, "It's already so late. Are you going out for a formal dinner? You dressed up so grandly!"

Celine did not mean anything by her words, but her casual remarks jolted him. That's right. He was not going out to attend some grand event. Even if it was a date, this was his home, his domain. They were both single and meeting late at night in the dark.

Heather must have thought about it when she invited him at this time and place. Surely she knew what would happen under such conditions and in such an environment, but she still invited him. Could it be that her hidden meaning was the same as what he thought?

When Ralph considered this, he undid the tie he had just fastened around his neck, then took off the suit he had carefully chosen and rolled up the sleeve of his shirt. After looking in the mirror, he undid two collar buttons to reveal his neckline. He felt he looked quite sexy this way.

He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself from the left and right. He tilted his head, combed his hair, and smiled in satisfaction. He adjusted his hair twice more and grinned nefariously, feeling quite satisfied. If everything went smoothly tonight, he would be able to capture the heart of this young lady and simply need to wait for their marriage and take over the Riggs family’s property.

After that… he would be able to take away the Russell family’s wealth and kick Alexander out of the game.

What a wonderful future! He could hardly wait for that moment!

After leaving the room, Ralph picked out a bottle of fine red wine, put it on a tray with two glasses and a plate of snacks, and asked the maid to bring them up to Heather's room.

The tray was brought outside the room, and then Ralph waved to signal the maid to leave.

The maid was about to go when he stopped her after giving it some thought. He whispered to the maid, “No one is allowed to come here without my order, let alone disturb me and the young mistress’s conversation. Do you understand?"

He felt relieved when the maid noted his order and retreated. He cleared his throat and adjusted his collar again, as he was still somewhat uneasy.

Heather, who was in the room, had sensitive hearing due to her years of kickboxing. She had been aware of movement outside the door for a long time, but when she saw it was Ralph, she stopped being so alert. She didn't take the initiative to open the door but instead waited for him to come to the door himself.

Heather looked at the time when she heard the knock. It was precisely 9 o’clock. It looked like he was punctual. With a smirk, she walked over to the door in her slippers without hurrying. Then she opened the door.

"I'm here, my love!" Ralph leaned on the door with one hand and held the tray with the other. When the door opened, he felt he put on a suave pose and a charming smile.

However, his smile froze when he saw the scene before him. Heather immediately turned around and walked back into the room after she opened the door. She didn't even pause or look at Ralph, leaving him with nothing but the sight of her back.

Ralph was stunned.

"Heather…" He could not stand it any longer and dashed after her, calling out, "Look, aren't I punctual? Did you call me here because you have something to tell me? Or… do you want to do something with me?"

He hastily closed the door and followed her in small steps.
