"Thawing the Billionaire's Heart"

Chapter 6: I won't let her step foot into this house as my master wife.

Kelly drove out of Lugard's estate with annoyance, nearly jamming the bodyguards who were opening the gate for her.

The body guard's heart jumped in fright, assuming he hadn't dodged on time he would have been lying in a pool of blood right now. The other bodyguards frowned in anger but didn't say or do anything.

Inside the estate,

Lugard was still sitting in his position with an emotionless face. He breathed a sigh and relaxed on the sofa with his eyes closed.

"Young master, should I make food for you now? It's already getting noon and you haven't eaten anything since morning," the butler said, standing behind the sofa Lugard was sitting on.

"No, I'm not hungry," Lugard answered without opening his eyes to glance at the butler.

"But young master, you are having stomach problems because of not eating on time, and it's not good for your body. Try and eat something, please," the butler pleaded.

"I said I'm not hungry. As for my stomach problem, don't worry about that. It's my body, not yours," Lugard said with his eyes closed and his hand on top of his stomach, his hand clenched and cold sweat on his forehead.

The butler became panicked because he knew that his young master's stomach upset had started again. "Young master, please eat something and take your medicine," the butler pleaded, trying his best to see that Lugard ate something.

"Get out," Lugard said with a furrowed brow, his voice turning cold immediately.

"Get out, I don't like repeating myself," he said angrily.

When his cold voice sounded just now, shivers ran down the butler's spine. "Yes, young master," the butler said before leaving with a biting heart. He felt pity for his master, but what could he do? He's just a butler and nothing more.

"Hmm," the butler breathed a sigh of weakness. "I want to make you eat something because of your health, but you got angry. I don't want to lose my job. I just wish you would fall in love with another woman who will change your heart and make you forget the pain from the past forever and be happy in the future," the butler said in his heart, with a sad expression.

When the butler left, Lugard opened his deep black eyes and his red, beautiful lips. "Where are you," he murmured to himself. After a few minutes, he stood up from the sofa, headed upstairs, and entered his room.

"The young master is really in a bad mood today," the youngest maid said, looking at her mom and the other maid.

"Shut up before he hears you talking about him and gets angry at us, and makes our ending miserable," another maid said in a low voice.

"That's not true. He won't do anything to us," the young maid said.

"Shut up. Why do you say he will not do anything bad to us?"

"Yeah, because he is a good man and doesn't like to punish his servants or scold them like that arrogant and wicked woman called Kelly," the young maid said with a serious frown on her face when she mentioned Kelly's name, and so was all the servants' faces.

"I hate that witch," the second maid said.

"Me too," the third maid said.

"I hate her more than you guys do," another maid said.

"I won't let her step foot into this house as my master's wife. How dare she slap my mother the first day she came to this estate and even say we are all stinking and dirty," the young maid said with a clenched fist and determination in her eyes.

"Anastasia, what will you do?" one of the maids asked the young maid. "You can't do anything to her because she is madam's favorite person, and madam also approved her to be her daughter-in-law in the future, so we are useless. We can't do anything to her. You are no match for their level. Better go and rest your bad temper and revenge," the maid said.

"We will see about that. Madam may approve of her, but our master hasn't accepted her, so I have nothing to fear. My young master, my big brother, will save me if anything happens to me. He is the richest man, and he will save me if I fall into trouble, even if I am just a servant in his house. He won't let a fly touch his servants' lives. He will protect them because we all are human beings," the young maid said with pride.

After saying all this with pride, she left and walked towards where her mom was busy doing something, not knowing that someone was busy listening to their conversation for a long time.

Lugard was standing upstairs, looking at the maids gossiping about him downstairs and how the young maid was busy defending him and talking with pride that if she harmed Kelly, and madam or Kelly's family came to retaliate, he would protect her as a big brother, with a slight smile on his face.

He went inside his room without caring about what the maids were discussing and what the young maid said earlier because it was none of his business.

In the hospital,

Selene was sitting down on the hospital chair, talking with her friend and sister, Didi. Didi was sitting in the hospital bed, chewing fruit and talking at the same time due to excitement.

"Are you really serious? You've found that guy from 6 years ago?" Didi asked excitedly with her mouth full of fruit, jumping up and down.

"Shh, calm down and eat your fruit before it chokes you," Selene said.

Emilia, Selene's sister, was also eating her fruit. "This is how I felt when I heard that she had found her love at first sight. The shocking news is still coming, this excitement of yours will soon change," Emilia said, sitting behind the window and looking at the people coming and going out of the hospital, even the traffic passing on the road.

Didi's movement of putting the apple inside her mouth stopped, and her brow furrowed, "Why would I be shocked? Is he married?" Didi asked.

"No," Selene replied.

"Does he have a girlfriend?" Didi asked.

"I am not sure," Selene answered.

"Is he a bad guy, too poor to feed himself, is he ugly, or has he committed a crime and was sent to prison?" Didi listed so many options but got no answer.

Emilia was just laughing, Selene, sitting beside the hospital cardboard in the room shook her head, "You nearly get it but you said it with a negative connotation."

Didi blinked her beautiful bright eyes, "I said the negative side?" Didi tried to recall where she said the negative part. "Is he handsome?" Didi finally asked.

"He is way more than handsome, he's very much like an angel," Selene replied, smiling.

Didi and Emilia looked at each other.

"Can you describe how he looks?" Didi asked.

"I don't know if I can describe perfectly how he looks," Selene said, unsure.

"Try!" Emilia urged, chewing on her fruit, with both her and Didi's ears open, waiting to hear the description of the handsome CEO they had never seen before.

"Okay, so... he's tall, like, ridiculously tall. And his hair is black, like the blackest black. It's messy but perfectly, like he just rolled out of bed looking like a god," Selene said, sighing, her eyes drifting off.
