Chapter 118
Ragnar and Josephine were there for vacation.
Chapter 118
Yennefer was surprised to see Ragnar and Josephine there. “Why did Josie come here with Ragnar?” she wondered with confusion.
After all, that place was renowned as a vacation spot for the wealthy.
“As the Levine family’s nanny, shouldn’t Josie be staying home to take care of Ragnar’s child?”
However, Yennefer was busy with a client, so she didn’t have time to ask Josephine any questions. The two women waved at each other before carrying on with what they were doing before.
Josephine knew that Yennefer was an executive, so her company required her to attend many work events.
Apart from that, Josephine also knew that Yennefer would ask her a lot of questions if she ever found out about her relationship with Ragnar which was very likely, judging by the fact that the two of them were vacationing there.
So, Ragnar and Josephine quickly left the scene after waving hello at Yennefer.
Back in their room. Josephine sat there while thinking about something.
“What are you thinking about?” Ragnar sat down and pulled her onto his lap.
Josephine blushed. She made a move to get down from his lap, but Ragnar stopped her. “Don’t move. Just stay like this and
tell me.”
Josephine had no choice but to remain there. The contrast in their body size she petite, him large made it seem as if she was a little girl sitting on her father’s legs.
“I just saw my aunt. She was with Mr. Hayes.”
“Uh–huh. So? You think Christopher is dating your aunt?” asked Ragnar while looking at her.
“That’s impossible,” replied Josephine.
Ragnar pinched her nose and said, “It’s not for you to worry about. Christopher will never fall for your aunt. He loved his wife very much and hadn’t been with another woman since her passing.”
“Hey! Aunt Yennefer is quite a catch, too. She’s a capable woman, and her only fault was ever falling for that scumbag, Jonathan. Heck, she might not even accept Christopher even if he wants her,” said Josephine.
Ragnar touched her smooth chin. “I heard that Aunt Yennefer’s company is partnering up with Christopher’s company, so they’re probably talking about work stuff.”
“Oh, I can stop worrying if that’s the case.” Josephine wished nothing but happiness for Yennefer, but at the same time, she was afraid that her aunt would get hurt again. After all, it wouldn’t be so easy to be a stepmom to Christopher’s kid.
“If you’re still worrying about it, how about I go and ask him myself?” asked Ragnar.
Josephine looked at Ragnar in surprise. Her bright eyes made Ragnar’s heart skip a beat.
Ragnar lowered his head and kissed her. Then, he lifted her up in his arms and pressed her down on the bed as he kissed her even more passionately.
Meanwhile, Yennefer, Christopher, and Mr. Arnold from Hestrya were sitting in the coffee shop.
“Mr. Hayes, is Ms. Yeager your girlfriend?”
Mr. Arnold from Hesirya had finished talking about work and had moved on to talking about personal lives.
Yennefer came back to her senses when she heard the question.
She was about to answer, but Christopher beat her to it. “Yeah. We’re dating each other right now.”
Yennefer was speechless. “What is he talking about? When did we ever start dating?” she wondered.
“Ha!” Mr. Arnold broke out in laughter. “Well, there goes my chance with her.”
Christopher smiled and said, “Mr. Arnold, don’t tell me you have a crush on Ms. Yeager. If that’s really the case, I’m sorry but you’re going to be very disappointed. She’s my girlfriend, after all.”
At the last sentence, Christopher turned to look at Yennefer with doting eyes.
And that made Yennefer even more speechless.
Ever since that day, Christopher had come up with all sorts of reasons for Yennefer to visit him at his company. He would keep telling her that there were some details left out in the contract.
Sometimes, the mistakes would be so small that it seemed like he was deliberately finding fault with the contract.
Chapter 118
At Christopher’s request, Yennefer had no choice but to personally go to his company to amend the contract.
And after she had amended the contract, he would go over it once more to pick out a new problem, which meant that it was up to her to amend it. The same thing kept on repeating until lunchtime.
Yennefer was about to deny the relationship but decided not to after hearing what Mr. Arnold had said.
It was a good thing that Christopher had come up with the lie so that she didn’t have to deal with Mr. Arnold’s advances.
The smile on her face remained as she said lightly. “Please excuse me. I need to go to the restroom.”
Yennefer left the table immediately after saying that.
The two men continued chatting for a while when Mr. Arnold’s phone suddenly rang. He picked up the call and walked to a quieter place to talk.
It was at that very moment Ragnar came over to Christopher’s table.
“Mr. Hayes?”
Christopher looked up and saw that it was Ragnar. He greeted the latter like an old friend. “Hello, Mr. Levine,”
In his mind. Christopher was secretly wondering why he kept on bumping into Ragnar
“Are you pursuing Yennefer?” Ragnar asked without beating round the bush.
Christopher was stunned by the question. A slight frown appeared on his forehead.
He immediately denied it. “No. We’re just business partners.”
It was a one–sided relationship on his part. He didn’t want anyone else to know that. Besides, his private life had nothing to do with anyone, so there was no need to admit it to Ragnar.
Ragnar smiled when he heard Christopher’s answer.
“Are you sure the two of you are just business partners?” asked Ragnar. It was obvious that he didn’t believe Christopher.
“Of course!”
“Then, why do I get the sense that you’re hoping to be more than just business partners from the way you were looking at Yennefer just now?” Ragnar had always been the type to speak in a straightforward manner.
Christopher’s heart skipped a beat.
“Was it so obvious?” he wondered. “Fine. I do find Yennefer attractive.”
There was no need for Christopher to hide the fact since Ragnar had seen through everything.
“And what if that’s true? Are you going to steal her away from me, too, Mr. Levine,” asked Christopher with a smile.
Ragnar’s eyes darkened at Christopher’s words. “Please tell me you’re joking. Mr. Hayes. When did I ever steal someone from you?”
“You’re really forgetful, huh, Mr. Levine? I do believe Casper has told you that I wished to marry Josephine, right? You would take her away every time you saw her with me. If that’s not stealing, then I don’t know what it is.” Christopher paused for a moment before continuing. “Don’t tell me you’re here to steal Ms. Young away from me, too.”
Actually, Christopher should have thanked Ragnar. If Ragnar hadn’t stolen Josephine from him, he wouldn’t have met Yennefer, who was more suitable for him.
Ragnar laughed at Christopher’s assumption. “I didn’t steal Josephine away from you. She was mine, to begin with.”
Christopher frowned, What did you say?”
He knew that Josephine and Ragnar were close to each other, but he didn’t know that they were that close, to begin with. Ragnar said, I’m saying Josephine is my wife. Isn’t it natural for me to take her home after knowing you wanted her for yourself? Eh, Mr. Hayes?”
Christopher was too stunned to speak. It never crossed his mind that Josephine was Ragnar’s wife. If he had known that, he would not have wanted to marry her.
“Man, Ragnar sure hid the fact that they were married very well. No wonder Josephine has refused to be my wife. The two of them are already married!” mused Christopher in his mind.
“Do the two of you have a marriage certificate?” Christopher asked.
“Of course. If not, I wouldn’t have said she’s my wife.” Ragnar looked at Christopher cockily as he said that.
Christopher was stunned by the speed of it all.
Ragnar looked at Christopher with those dark eyes of his and said, “Anyway, you can pursue anyone you want just not
Yennefer.”
Chapter 118
“If you can marry Josephine, why can’t I marry Yennefer?”
Christopher felt that Ragnar had no right to dictate who he was allowed to pursue. It was his freedom, after all. “What a joke,” thought Christopher.
Ragnar’s expression became serious. “Because she is Josephine’s aunt.”
“What did you say?” Christopher was shocked by Ragnar’s words.
It was a long while before he was able to process the whole thing.
“What do you think Josephine will say if I told her you’re pursuing her aunt after you failed to make her your wife? Josephine will definitely be the first person to be against the relationship if she were to find out. She’ll think you’re just at playboy. Besides, Josephine doesn’t want Yennefer getting hurt again or for the latter to be someone else’s stepmom, so I strongly suggest Mr. Hayes give up on pursuing her.”
After saying that, Ragnar didn’t wait for Christopher’s response and left the scene with a victorious smile on his face.
