My Domineering CEO Husband

Lottie woke up from her nightmare with cold sweat soaking her pillow.

She looked out of the window. It was the next morning.

It’s sunny outside.

Lottie wiped her sweat, heaved a long sigh of relief, and lay back on the bed.

She did not know why she had such a dream.

She never happened to such things.

But everything in her dream was very real, as if she had really experienced it.

Moreover, the fire was so heavy. If it was real, she would be burned to death.

Lottie took a deep breath and told herself that she was messed up by the movie, so she had such an inexplicable dream.

Lottie just closed her eyes when her phone rang.

Arthur Bell, her biological father, called.

“Do you want money?”

Lottie said lazily with her close eyes, “Dad, don’t drink too much every day.”

“Even if you used to be a special forces soldier, you are ageing now. Your body will get worse if you continue drink too much.”

“You should go out to find a job…”

“Lottie.”

Before Lottie finished her words, Arthur interrupted her, “I’m calling you to say goodbye.”

Say goodbye?

Lottie suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, “Where are you going?”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Didn’t I tell you after I retired from the special forces, I worked as a bodyguard for several years.”

“The former employer found me and asked me to protect her.”

“I am at the airport now and it is in a hurry. I won’t say goodbye to you face to face.”

Lottie’s hand, which was holding the phone, trembled slightly, “Dad, I … what I just say is because I am worried about you.”

“Please… don’t leave.”

“I can give you money.”

“Don’t leave…”

No matter how healthy Arthur was, he was now an old man in his fifties. Lottie did not want him to work as a bodyguard.

Although she always said that she disliked Arthur, she knew that Arthur was the best person in the world for her.

He did not participate in the first 18 years of her life.

But in the past five years after they met, Arthur had taken good care of her.

He taught her martial arts, fighting, and how to protect herself.

Without him, she would not have been so good as a martial stand-in.

“Good girl.”

On the other end of the phone, Arthur sighed. “I’m not going back for money, but for returning a favor.”

“I am afraid that I will retard you for the past five years, so I dare not contact you too much. In the future, when I go abroad, we will have less contact than before.”

“Lottie, you have to take good care of yourself.”

Lottie bit her lip, and her tears dropped down silently. “Then you have to be careful abroad.”

“I will.”

Arthur smiled.

After a while, he seemed to think of something. “You have to keep the jade pendant that I gave you last time. Don’t let anyone see it. Do you hear me?”

Lottie’s heart sank when she heard him mention the jade pendant.

“That jade pendant… I lost it.”

After she came out of Arthur’s house, she was kidnapped by Luther Miller’s men and was busy from then on .

By the time she thought of the jade pendant, she could no longer find it.

She had also returned to the alley where she was being attacked and inquired about the police who had investigated the case that day, but she still could not find them.

“I’m sorry, Dad.”

Lottie did not mention that she had been attacked. “I was careless…”

On the other end of the phone, Arthur was silent for a long time.

“Maybe this is fate.”

Arthur sighed. “You don’t have to blame yourself. That jade pendant is not worth much money.”

“In fact, I don’t know whether it’s good or bad to give you that jade pendant…”

Perhaps it was destined that Lottie would not reunite with that family.

Maybe it was not a bad thing.

“Forget it.”

“Protect yourself, hide your birthmark, and live a good life in the future.”

Lottie pursed her lips. “Dad, do you have a photo of that jade pendant?”

“I’m actually blaming myself for losing my mother’s relic. During this period of time, I posted a reward post on the Internet, but there were no photos. I only saw it once, so I can’t describe it…”

“No photos!”

Arthur’s voice suddenly became serious. “I told you not to look for it!”

“Even if you don’t have photos, you’re not allowed to look for it anymore. This is the end of the matter!”

After that, he sighed. “It’s time to board the plane. I’m leaving.”

“Remember, stop looking for it!”

Lottie frowned. She still wanted to say something, but the phone had been hung up.

She sighed doubtfully. When she called again, Arthur’s phone had been turned off.

Helplessly putting down her phone, Lottie turned on the computer.

There were already a few people who had replied to the reward that she had sent to look for the jade pendant. Even some private detectives had left her contact information and asked her to find them.

Lottie took a deep breath and deleted the post.

She did not understand why her father would react so angrily.

That jade pendant was just her mother’s relic. Why was it so mysterious?

Lottie couldn’t figure it out, so she gave up.

At this time, an email arrived.

She opened it. It was a new script from the chief screenwriter.

Lottie glanced over it roughly and found the contents were still greatly changed.

The second female lead, who was swoon over her boyfriend, had become a career star, and the relationship between Luke Berry and her had become unimportant.

Because of the great reduction of love scenes, Lottie didn’t even filmed an scene with Luke in the following days.

When they were filming together again, it was the day of the Taurus Awards Ceremony.

The ceremony was held at night.

Luke’s assistant started to shout in the crew early in the morning, “Hurry up and make up for Luke!”

“He is going to prepare for the award ceremony tonight!”

“Who doesn’t know that our dear Luke will be the movie king this year? Be careful! This is the movie king-to-be!”

…

“Woooow! So what?”

The dresser who put on Lottie’s makeup whispered, “It’s not yet time for the award ceremony, but now she looks like he has won the prize. She’s so annoying!”

After that, she looked at Lottie and curled her lips. “And I heard that his ex-girlfriend who had been disqualified from being the Best Female Newcomer Award was qualified again a week ago.”

“It is said that she has still a high chance of winning.”

She nudged Lottie with her arm. “Do you think they will argue when they meet tonight?”

Lottie frowned and thought for a moment before smiling. “Tonight we’ll see.”

But it wasn’t like the scene where an ex-boyfriend met his ex-girlfriend.

After all, Lottie knew very well that Luke and Isobel had not actually broken up at all.

The scene she meant… was another kind.
