Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 175

Letitia first sneaked a peek at Hawley unconsciously before she took her first step.

Sharp as a tack, Elgin sure caught that glance.

He too looked at Hawley, “Grandpa, how long was I out cold?”

“Three to four days.”

“So, what have you been up to with Letitia in the meantime?”

Hawley was taken aback, “Elgin, what are you getting at? Are you grilling me?”

“Just spill the beans, Grandpa.”

“Ha!” Hawley chuckled, “I made sure Letitia stayed put in Ivory Towers and kept her from breathing down your neck! Did I mess up?”

Elgin pursed his lips, “I’m afraid it’s not just that.”

Just now, when he had called Letitia over, she had been checking out Hawley’s mood.

Clearly, Grandpa had put the screws to her.

A flicker of irritation crossed Elgin’s mind. He should’ve given Samson the heads-up not to let Letitia rub shoulders with the Ramirez family, so as to keep her from getting the short end of the stick.

Too late now, she had already been given a hard time.

Hawley huffed, “You’re head over heels for Letitia! That temptress!”

At the sight of the tension, the butler quickly stepped in to smooth things over, “Mr. Ramirez, your wife’s been at your bedside all day. She’s been taking care of you, with your grandpa’s blessing!”

“Ha, spare me your explanations!” Hawley flung out his hand, “Elgin, I’m laying it on the line for you. Letitia can’t stick around you anymore!”

With that, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

The butler scurried after him, trying to calm Hawley down.

Back in the hospital room, it was just the two of them again.

He looked at her, “Now that it’s just us, aren’t you going a bit closer?”

Hearing this, Letitia was tingled with emotion.

After a few seconds of silence, she heard Elgin say, “Or is it that, Letty, you don’t want to be near me…” A burst of coughing sound was heard by Letitia.
