Chapter 18: Carried Like A Princess

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As he watched the cab drive off, Beebo still felt a little incredulous and a little jealous in his heart.

He had thought that Laurie might marry someone casually because she felt hurt by the breakup, but he did not expect her husband to be such a boorish man?

However, when he saw that the man was quite anxious over Laurie, Beebo shook his head and laughed at himself. Perhaps he was thinking too much.

Meanwhile, Jason’s feelings were even more conflicted. He had taken a fancy to this sister-in-law at the banquet. Just thinking about it made him feel scared.

He had always thought that Claude’s sudden marriage was just to go against his father, but from his actions just now, it was obvious that he cared a lot about this wife of his.

As his childhood friend, Jason naturally hoped that a miracle would happen and his old friend could find his true love.

However, if Michelle found out that Claude was already married, wouldn’t it cause a ruckus? No wonder Claude didn’t dare to acknowledge his wife just now!

Just as Jason was still feeling a little disappointed, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

“Where’s Claude?”

He turned around and saw Michelle looking around.

She pouted a little, obviously not too happy.

Jason asked quickly, “Are you going back now? Big Bro asked me to send you back.”

“What about him? Why did he ask you to send me?” Michelle pushed Jason away somewhat impatiently.

However, Claude was nowhere to be seen.

When he saw that she was still unwilling to let it go, Jason quickly found an excuse.

“Big Bro is not used to attending such events. It’s not like you don’t know his identity. He doesn’t want others to know.”

Michelle nodded a little skeptically.

When she recalled that Claude’s identity had never been exposed, it was not surprising for him to go back early.

“Forget it. Since he’s already gone, I’m not staying here anymore. Send me back.” Michelle lifted her dress and walked down. “Anyway, we’re getting engaged soon. We’ll have a lot of time together in the future!”

When he heard her words, Jason muttered softly, “You won’t have a chance.”

“What did you say?” Michelle frowned and asked.

Jason quickly opened the car door. “Nothing at all! Miss, please get in the car!”

Meanwhile, Claude, who was in the cab, was quite angry. The driver sensed the oppressive atmosphere and secretly rolled down the window to let in some fresh air.

Laurie was in a bad mood as well. She turned her head sideways and kept looking out of the window.

When they reached the entrance of the neighborhood district, Claude got out of the cab first, completely ignoring Laurie.

As soon as Laurie’s right foot landed on the ground, she suddenly realized that the heel of her shoe had broken.

She limped behind Claude.

“Why are you so slow? Hurry up and catch up!” Claude’s voice boomed out from the front.

However, after a while, he realized that Laurie was still not catching up to him, so he turned around.

When he saw Laurie’s posture was somewhat odd, he hurried back. “What’s going on?”

Laurie only raised her right foot and didn’t say anything.

Claude saw that her heels were already crooked and were about to fall off. No wonder she was walking so slowly.

“How troublesome!” Claude grumbled as he stretched out his left hand and hauled Laurie over his shoulder.

“Argh!” Laurie yelled out in fright as her body suddenly became suspended in the air.

She had fantasized countless times about being carried by her future husband like a princess, but it never occurred to her that she would be carried on Claude’s shoulder like a sack.

“Put me down. I can walk by myself.” Her face was already red. Fortunately, it was already night time and there were not many neighbors in the district out and about.

However, Claude turned a deaf ear to her. After struggling a few times, Laurie gave up completely.

Indeed, in the face of absolute power, all resistance was futile.

When they got home, Claude carefully put her down, then helped her take off her right shoe and put on a slipper.

At this moment, the blood had rushed to Laurie’s head due to the upside-down position, and she was feeling a little groggy.

Claude moved closer to her face and sniffed it carefully. His action startled her.

“What are you doing?” She crossed her arms across her chest in horror, her eyes full of wariness.

“Why can’t you stand properly when you didn’t drink?” Claude looked at her in confusion.

On the other hand, Laurie rolled her eyes at him. “Try being carried by people upside down all the way and see if you will become dizzy?”

Claude answered with certainty, “I won’t. No one is able to carry me, and I won’t give others such a chance either.”
