CHAPTER 37: HAVE AN ANDERSON CHILD

Inside the bedroom.

Seeing that everyone had left the room, Hilla heaved a sigh of relief. However, she still didn’t have any strength left, so she could only glare at Bruce who was above her.

"You don’t have to look at me with such admiration. As your husband, it’s only right for me to protect your reputation."

Bruce leaned against the bed and closed his eyes. All the strength in his body seemed to have been used up. He furrowed his brows slightly and a thin layer of sweat had already formed on his forehead.

It had to be said that just now, in order to suppress Rudi, he had forced himself to get out of bed. Now, his entire legs were trembling from excessive exertion.

Hilla raised her head, her face full of anger.

What did he mean by protecting her reputation? That kiss just now clearly ruined her reputation.

She was so shy and angry. She was clearly a pure and innocent girl. How could she be forcefully crowned as a married woman with a husband?

"You’ve already recovered. Why didn’t you wake up earlier?"

Hilla was still angry, and the more she was angry, the more she felt wronged.

Rudi had clearly been hiding in the room for a long time, waiting for her to come back, so the lights in the room had all been turned off when it started.

Bruce was in this room. He clearly knew that Rudi had entered and was still waiting behind the door to attack her, but Bruce did not stop him.

"I also didn’t know that he secretly crawled in because of you."

Rudi’s movements weren’t very loud, and he was also deliberately hiding outside.

Bruce thought that Hilla wouldn’t come back so early, but he had really fallen asleep.

However, it was obvious that Hilla didn’t believe in such a reason.

To put it bluntly, she was not that important in his heart, so he could let Rudi bully her. If she was really taken advantage of tonight, she would definitely turn around and kill these two brothers, so that their family would be completely cut off.

Bruce didn’t know what Hilla was thinking, but at this time, he was completely exhausted, and it was indeed very difficult for him to stand up.

"Your knife flew very accurately."

Hilla bit her lips, feeling even more aggrieved as he didn’t care much about her.

Shouldn’t a husband comfort a wife who suffered a loss?

However, Bruce did not. He did not even look at her. It seemed that she had been too self-sentimental and took care of him for the past few months.

How could he ignore her?

Bruce pursed his lips and turned his back to her, "I used to play with darts often, but I’m a little rusty."

Otherwise, that knife shouldn’t have hit Rudi’s thigh.

Looking at the broad and tall figure, the grievance and bitterness in Hilla’s heart suddenly rushed into her eyes.

Before she could say anything, she heard Bruce’s voice faintly come from beside her, "Cover the blanket properly."

Was he still a man?

She was sleeping behind him naked. He could touch her when he turned around, but he turned around directly.

Hilla felt that she was really unlucky. She married the wrong man!

Was there anything wrong with him?

Although she was complaining in her heart, Hilla still grabbed the quilt on her body. Although she felt wronged in her heart, if Bruce was like Rudi, she would feel even worse.

Turning around and looking at the open glass window on the balcony, Hilla felt the gentle night wind pouring into the room. She suddenly felt the grievance in her heart surging up with the quiet atmosphere in the room.

Faint sobs came from the room, and the quilt wrapped into a pupa moved with the girl’s crying.

Under the darkness of the night, the lights in the room were turned off as well.

Bruce pulled the blanket and the person under the blanket into his embrace.

"You cried!"

The blanket in his arms suddenly moved, and then quieted down.

Bruce was not in a hurry. He sighed slightly, "You will suffocate yourself to death in the quilt."

"You are a bad guy!"

Hilla’s voice came from the quilt, and Bruce’s mouth curved into a smile. "Do you miss your family?"

He remembered that when he was in a coma, she would always miss the Holt family and tell him about her childhood. Although he felt that this girl was a little noisy, he felt pleased with her around.

"It was useless. I had no family as my backup now."

As Hilla spoke, she felt that she was really pitiful. She had no parents, no family, no property, and married a husband that didn’t love her. Although her mother-in-law was nice, her only sister-in-law still disliked her. There was still a lustful man staring at his family.

No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she was at a disadvantage, so she began to cry even more miserably.

Bruce couldn’t ignore the trembling of the blanket this time. He could only reach out to turn on the warm light at the bedside and pull her out of the blanket.

As expected, after hiding under the blanket for a while, her eyes were red from crying. Bruce wrapped her up with the blanket and asked patiently, "Do you have any strength left?"

Hilla sobbed and said reluctantly, "No, no!"

It seemed that Rudi was afraid that Hilla would rebel against him this time, so he didn’t go easy on her.

He wrapped her up in a blanket and let her lean against his chest. "I did not wake up late on purpose."

Although he explained, she clearly did not believe him. "No, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I, I didn’t suffer any losses. You don’t have to care about me. You don’t know that we are married. If you don’t care about me, I will not be angry with you."

She was very generous with her words, but Bruce was not stupid.

If a woman wanted to pick on you, then you were wrong.

Hearing her complaints, Bruce could only soften his voice and comfort her, "Don’t cry if you’re not angry. It won’t look good if your eyes are swollen from crying."

"What does it have to do with you?"

Although Hilla resisted, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face, thinking that she had to put on a facial mask tomorrow morning, so as not to hurt her fair skin.

After all, it was really not worth it to hurt herself for such a heartless man.

Bruce saw that she was in a better mood and said helplessly, "You are my wife. Of course, it has something to do with me."

"Then you like my face!"

Sure enough, men were so superficial!

...

Bruce found that Hila misunderstood every single word that he said to comfort her.

He didn’t expect this girl to be so difficult.

He was so angry that he laughed. He held her in his arms and gently coaxed, "What’s wrong with looking at your face? Isn’t you very beautiful?"

"You wolf, I value my inner beauty!"

Hilla pushed Bruce and found that she had recovered a bit of strength. Although she was weak, it still made her feel better.

"You looked very scary."

She told the truth with red eyes, thinking about the moment when Bruce stood in front of her from above, her heart was trembling.

She didn’t know if she didn’t care about this in the past. Bruce, who was standing tall and straight, had a strong aura that couldn’t be underestimated.

Although his face was still a little pale, and he was quite slender, he was intimidating in every movement just now.

There must be a reason why Rudi was afraid of him. It should not only be just that Bruce could make the entire Anderson Group expand several times in a few short years and become the richest business empire in River City.

"Really? I won’t scare you next time."

"You did well when you stabbed Rudi."

Hilla pouted, thinking of Rudi jumping off the platform. If she wasn’t weak all over at that time, she would have gone to see what he would be like.

Hilla thought resentfully, ’Would he break his head? It would be best if his arms and legs were broken.’

"He won’t make you angry again. I’m here."

"Bruce, you are so nice, just like my dad."

Hilla sniffed her nose to stabilize her mood, feeling much better. As expected, people should vent their emotions, or they would feel uncomfortable if they kept it in for a long time.

Bruce frowned. A trace of unhappiness flashed across his eyes. He did not want to be her father!

The news that Bruce had woken up shocked the entire Anderson family, and even the entire River City. It was like an atomic bomb that had fallen into the deep sea, shocking the entire River City to the point that it was surging with waves.

For a moment, those who tried to curry favor with Rudi began to think that the Anderson Group was about to change.

Tyree had just announced that the daughter of the Andersons would inherit five percent of the Andersons’ shares in front of everyone at Margaret’s reception party. This was a reminder and a warning to Rudi and his father.

Now, everything seemed to have changed overnight. Bruce, who had been lying in bed for half a year, suddenly woke up.

A person who fell into a persistent vegetative state instantly became the target of all the people in River City. And that night, his wife Hilla, who had just been introduced, was also pushed to the forefront and became the object of envy of many young ladies.

Look, last night they were still mocking that the former number one socialite was married to a living dead lying on the bed. Unexpectedly, the news of the young master of the Andersons waking up on the second day had slapped all their faces.

The daughter of the Holt, the former number one socialite, was the woman they were jealous of. If a person had a good life, even if the vegetables could wake up.

Tyree came into Bruce’s room in the early morning. Hilla was dressed neatly, like an obedient little wife. She stood obediently by the bed, serving the dishes and water to everyone.

She lowered her eyebrows and her eyes, looking sweetly.

Orlenna held Bruce’s hand and refused to let him go, fearing that all of this was a dream. Last night, she was so excited that she hardly slept all night.

Seeing that her thoughtful son was able to speak again, her eyes could not help but redden.

"Horton said that you would wake up. I knew that he was right. Bruce, I know you can’t bear to part with us. You will get better."

Margaret followed by Orlenna’s side. Although she had been comforting Orlenna, her eyes were also red. "Bruce, you almost scared Mom and me to death."

If it weren’t for the fact that she had a studio overseas, she would have stayed by Orlenna’s side and taken care of Bruce for the rest of her life. Fortunately, her brother had heard their call and finally woke up.

"It’s good that you’re awake. Take good care of yourself. There’s no need to worry about the company. Grandpa can still deal with it. It’s not too late to rest when you’re better."

The old man was probably the most emotional person among them. Although he did not show too much emotion, his trembling hands revealed his excitement.

He could finally hand over the Anderson Group.

In the entire house, except for Lucas’ family, who tried hard to force a smile, the others were all overjoyed, but Hilla still noticed that Rudi hadn’t appeared today.

Thinking about how he fell off the balcony last night, she asked curiously, "Why isn’t Rudi here? Is the company busy?"

"But your father is already here, if you dare not come, you are courting death," thought Hila.

Lucas and Lysa’s looked even more embarrassed. Lysa grabbed the expensive handbag and cried aggrievedly, "Master Anderson, Rudi was busy with Maggie’s ball. Last night, he fell down the stairs. Not only did he hurt his head, but he also broke an arm and a leg. Rudi loved his younger cousins in his heart. When he knew that Bruce had woken up, he ignored the fact that there was no one around to take care of him and forced me to come to Bruce."

Lysa cried with a feeble voice. She looked like she had been wronged. Hilla pursed her lips when she saw Lysa’s acting.

"Is Master Anderson her husband? Why does she do that? Is she afraid that others won’t see what her son is like?"

As expected, the old man’s expression wasn’t as gloomy as before, but when he looked at his second daughter-in-law, his eyes were also filled with displeasure.

It was also his fault. Although Lucas’ was a mistake, when he brought this son back, Lucas, who was only in his early twenties, had already married and had a child.

It was a pity that his eldest grandson wasn’t good although he grew up in the Andersons.

"It’s good that he didn’t come. It wouldn’t make Bruce feel unhappy."

The couple’s faces turn ugly when they heard this. Lucas still wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by his father.

"Since Bruce has woken up, you should sort out the projects that Bruce was in charge of. When he recovers, you can hand them over to him."

Lucas’s expression was extremely ugly. When Bruce was lying on the bed, he had worked so hard to manage the Andersons. Unexpectedly, Bruce had just woken up and he had to let Bruce hand over the authority.

How could it be so easy to spit out the food in his mouth? Lucas’s face turned cold. He didn’t say anything. Orlenna, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Bruce hasn’t recovered yet. Since the company has been delayed, let him put business aside first. I want to ask him and Hilla to have a child to help the Andersons grow up first."

Hilla’s hand that was holding the cup trembled, and her face turned pale. She didn’t expect that this came so quickly.
