CHAPTER 137: IT’S NOT UP TO HILLA

"What kind of illness?" Hilla frowned.

She could not understand what Lily was talking about.

Looking at Hilla’s innocent face, Lily smiled and whispered to her.

In the next second, Hilla’s face gradually turned red, and then she pushed Lily away.

"You, you are talking nonsense. He, he is not that kind of person."

Lily said disdainfully, "He is a man. How could he be calm in front of a beauty like you? Unless he was incapable."

"You, you are getting more and more..."

"Perverted?"

Lily said excitedly, "You have been married for almost a year. It’s no reason to be shy. If he doesn’t want to have sex with you, he must be sick."

"No, it’s not like what you said!"

Hilla said in a low voice. She and Lily used to read novels and discuss those shameful plots.

However, those were all on the others. She didn’t feel embarrassed, but now she was talking about herself. Hilla found that she couldn’t be calm.

She wanted to cover herself with a book.

Why did she tell her best friend the problem between her and Bruce? Now, she felt that Lily looked at her as if she was looking at a delicious melon.

"We’re fine. But recently, I rejected him a few times because of my period." Hilla said in a low voice. She felt that her face was burning. When she saw Rudi’s gaze, she felt uneasy.

"What? This jerk wanted to have sex with you when you’re on your period... This kind of man who doesn’t respect women should be fried with oil. I’m so angry.

"You should not be with him. Divorce him!"

Lily slapped the table and stood up, looking like she was going to kill Bruce.

Seeing that, Hilla quickly grabbed her and said, "Lower your voice. Everyone heard you."

The sound insulation effect of the dormitory was bad. Lily spoke loudly. Hilla was afraid that their secret would be exposed on the forum soon.

"A Young Married Woman’s Resentment Life"

When she thought of this title, she could not help but tremble. "It’s not what you think. He, he didn’t know that I’m on my period."

It was she who did not make it clear and hurriedly came back with Rudi from the countryside, making him misunderstand that she wanted to have sex with him.

"Why don’t you just tell him? It was not a big deal. You didn’t tell him and refuse him. If I were a man, I wouldn’t even wait for your consent when I see you."

Hilla thought that it was fortunate Lily was not a man. She would never marry a man like her.

"Forget it, I’d better go back. I’m afraid that if I am not at home, he will be angrier."

She was hiding in the dormitory because she was afraid to face Bruce’s strange gaze.

Now she seemed to understand. She would go back and discuss a date with Rudi.

Hilla’s face turned red again when she thought that she had to count the days and do that kind of thing with William.

Lily saw Hilla’s figure disappear in front of her. She said disappointedly, "Sure enough, the perfect school babe doesn’t exist."

Outside the gate of River University.

Looking at the back of Hilla, someone silently noted down the time and route.

"This woman is not easy to deal with. Be careful when you attack her."

Rudi gritted his teeth and looked at the corner. His gaze became more vicious.

He had come a cropper on her, so he became extremely cautious.

The man hiding in the corner behind him was wearing a cap, covering his face. Only his sharp chin and the sneer could be seen.

"Don’t worry, she’s just a woman."

Rudi frowned. He was unhappy that his partner underestimated Hilla.

He had once thought of Hilla in the same way, and he even thought that a woman would be easily captured if he used some tricks.

However, being hospitalized again and again made his mind extremely clear. Hilla was not an ordinary woman. Those ordinary tricks would not only be ineffective on her, but they would drag him into trouble.

"I will arrange six more thugs for you. These people have been trained."

"I don’t need helpers."

The man sneered at Rudi’s nervousness.

Bruce’s woman could scare him like this... His status was probably even lower than a

dog in the Andersons.

No matter how powerful Hilla was, she was just a twenty-year-old woman. He didn’t believe he couldn’t do it.

Rudi’s expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "I won’t allow anything to go wrong. As long as you help me deal with this woman, I will deal with Bruce myself."

When the Andersons lost their heir, and even Hilla was dead, what Rudi had would return to him.

He was going to take back everything that he had lost.

Hilla took his shares, so he would make this woman disappear completely.

"Be clean and precise."

The man smiled. "Mr. Anderson, don’t worry. We are tied to the same rope now. Even if it is not for you, I will not show mercy."

The man’s gaze turned cold and was full of viciousness.

As soon as Hilla returned to Lakeshore Center, she saw Bruce sitting on the sofa.

The man had a slender figure. His two strong legs crossed. The shirt buttons on his sleeves were unbuttoned, revealing his strong and sexy forearms.

"You are back!"

Hearing the noise, Bruce turned his head around. His delicate face became more attractive under the crystal lamp.

Hilla was stunned by her handsome husband.

She had always thought that her husband was charming.

Although she had been looking at him for almost a year, she still had this feeling.

However, Bruce’s gaze did not linger on Hilla this time.

After two days of quarrel, he suddenly figured it out.

Hilla was young, so it was normal for her to resist this kind of thing. He was a mature man. Why did he have to argue with a little girl?

He had been waiting for so long. He didn’t care to wait longer.

He had figured it out. However, Hilla felt depressed when she saw him ignoring her.

Gritting her teeth, she dove into Bruce’s embrace and sat on his lap. Looking at stunned Bruce, she said aggrievedly, "Honey, my legs hurt. Hug me!"

...

Bruce was stunned. The next second, he said worriedly, "Your leg? Are you hurt?"

Hilla nodded and said in a low voice, "I have walked for a long time. It hurts."

Bruce became nervous. He let go of Hilla and knelt down on one knee. He held up Hilla’s bare calf with one hand and asked, "Here?"

Hilla blinked and nodded, "It hurts!"

Bruce’s fingertips slowly rubbed on her calf. His gaze focused on Hilla’s legs.

"Don’t wear high heels anymore. It will hurt if you stand too long."

"Bruce, are you angry with me?"

Hilla looked at the man’s head. She had once imagined that a man would kneel in front of her. But now, it was not a proposal, but solicitude for her.

In the past, Hilla thought that the man must be excellent and handsome, like Rigel.

When a girl was in school, she would have an inexplicable admiration for a man who was called the school hunk.

Before Hilla married Bruce, as a girl who was less than twenty years old, she also thought this way.

But when she knew Rigel, her feeling was appreciative. She could be sure that the person she liked was in front of her.

He was ten years older than her and had a completely different life and habits.

Fate was a strange thing. Hilla couldn’t understand why she liked him so much.

Bruce looked up and met Hilla’s gaze. Her eyes were bright, as beautiful as the stars in the sky.

Bruce had thought that his life would be boring and all was about work.

All the benefits were provided with the Anderson Group as the premise. What he had to do was to make the Anderson Group into an indestructible business empire.

This was the only obsession he had in the first half of his life.

There had never been anything that could stop him from advancing the path of the pyramid. His life should have been spent in the grayest, monotonous, and boring commercial wars.

He felt that his marriage was just a trend in his life and a thing that could be sacrificed for his business at any time.

It was the accident that allowed him to sleep in his own world.

He wanted to have a rest for a while until Orlenna mentioned the name of a woman for the first time. Hilla!

Orlenna was afraid that he would be lonely, so she found him a tool to relieve him, just like the news that Orlenna had read to him when he was bored.

He did not pay much attention to his so-called wife.

Until Hilla began to nag him and then secretly used the little tricks on Orlenna, her attitude to him was different when no one was around.

In the beginning, he was not satisfied with her attitude. He had been thinking about how to punish this little girl.

Later, he liked listening to her. Her words even struck a chord with him.

He began to care about and miss this little girl, and even felt heartache when she said she was sad.

It was easy to like someone, but for Bruce, it was not easy.

His life began to have different colors, and he even looked forward to the moment he opened his eyes and saw her.

"I’m not. Why?"

Bruce hid all the emotions in his gaze. It turned out that life was not all about work.

Life could be more interesting.

Just like now, he was thinking about how to coax his wife.

It was quite interesting.

Hilla looked at his calm face and frowned, "Are you really not angry? But the way you look at me these past few days is different. You are obviously angry with me, but you don’t admit it. Men are bad."

Was he bad?

Bruce stopped and said innocently, "I wasn’t angry with you. I am not and I won’t."

"I am touched. But I know that you are angry with me. You are angry that I don’t want to sleep with you, right?"

A trace of subtle emotion flashed across Bruce’s calm face. His gaze once again dimmed.

This little girl had seen through it. Bruce felt guilty.

But his thirty years of experience still made him calm himself down.

He calmly replied to Hilla, "My mom really wants a grandson. After all, I’m not young anymore."

Sometimes, it was necessary to lie. Women were soft-hearted. It was what Bruce summed up from hundreds of novels. The Battered-Body Trick was one of the women’s favorites.

As expected, Hilla frowned.

Bruce added, "You’re still young. I’ve already told my mom that you don’t want a child yet. You have your own choice. Don’t worry, I won’t force you."

Bruce silently praised his wisdom in his mind.

As Hilla listened, her expression became even stranger.

She asked in a low voice, "You... know everything?"

Bruce was shocked.

Hilla didn’t follow the rules, which meant that she did have her own plans.

He was regretful now. He shouldn’t have tricked Hilla. He felt that there was a hole for him to jump into.

Bruce kept all his thoughts in his mind and did not show them on his face.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Hilla was guilty. He said, "I am still young. There are some things that I want to do by myself. I can’t have a baby now."

Bruce had understood that Hilla didn’t want to have a child with him.

If she didn’t want a child, she definitely didn’t want to sleep with him.

He was afraid that his Battered-Body Trick was not working.

What should he do? He wanted Hilla to shut up now.

Hilla didn’t want a child now. But she didn’t reject having sex with Bruce. It was good to speak her worries out.

"I don’t object to having sex with you."

Hearing this, Bruce’s eyes lit up. He took a breath.

Was she enlightened or had she suddenly figured it out?

He didn’t need to spend any effort to hint at her anymore.

However, Hilla added, "But I really don’t want a child now. Bruce, I’m only twenty years old. I’m still young."

Life was very long. She had her own dream. A child would be a burden for her. She wanted to do that a few years later.

Bruce stared at Hilla’s small face for a long time, and muttered, "If we have sex, it’s not up to you."
