Chapter 2 touching someone else's fishing line and touching his crotch.
To Megan Pham's surprise, on her first day in the Moyer family, a woman with a big belly said she was pregnant with her husband's child. This marriage, which was already very sad, became more sad in an instant.
“Ms. Klein, how many months are you pregnant? Ivory on the other side is sober, "we Mr.". Moyer's been in a coma for six months, and if the baby is really our Mr. Moyer, according to time, you have been pregnant for at least five months. How can you not be pregnant at all?
"Every pregnant woman is different whether she is pregnant or not." Jenny Klein glared at Ivory. "Who are you to question me?"
Ivory ducked behind Megan Pham and said, "Even though the size of a pregnant woman's belly varies from person to person, you're not showing off."
Megan Pham was reminded by Ivory that something was wrong. Jenny Klein is wearing a dress with a waist today. Her slender waist is full. If she is really pregnant for more than five months, she can't see it at all. She is probably lying.
“Ms. Klein, Leo Moyer is in a coma now. If you are really pregnant with his child, I will go to tell Grandma tomorrow and let her make decisions for you. But if you use my husband's coma to spread rumors and destroy our marriage, I believe she will make decisions for me.
Megan Pham's words caught Jenny Klein's life, and what Jenny Klein feared most was the old Mrs. The Moyer family. Moyer, the old woman, has used all kinds of ruthless means to get her out of Leo Moyer before. At that time, she barely escaped with Leo Moyer's support. Now Leo Moyer is still sleeping, and no one can protect her. If the old woman and Megan Pham in front of her join hands to get her, she will have no way out. The hero does not eat the immediate loss, this bad breath, can only be reported in the future.
“Leo。” Jenny Klein walked over to Leo Moyer and said pitifully, "Ms.". Pham can't tolerate me, I can't continue to accompany you here, you must get better quickly, I'm waiting for you!
With that, she glared at Megan Pham and left in a huff.
The servants outside the corridor were scattered like birds and beasts.
Megan Pham breathed a sigh of relief that she had not lost the first match.
"Thank you Ivory."
Ivory gave a silly smile, "It should be Mrs.". Moyer。”
At the end of the drama, Megan Pham took a shower, washed away her post-wedding fatigue and changed into her home clothes.
Ivory knocked on the door with clean pajamas. Moyer, you help Mr. Moyer, change your clothes.
"I'll change?"
"Well, Mr.". Moyer is a neat freak and doesn't like people to touch him. He used to be Doc. Hull does it himself, Ms. Klein can't even get close, but today Doc. Hull's home in a hurry. Come on. Are you Mrs. Moyer, it's with Mr. Moyer's bedmate, no one else.
Megan Pham didn't refuse. She got married with a sky-high bride price. She couldn't do nothing.
"Ivory, you go to get a basin of warm water, take a towel, and I'll wipe him by the way." Megan Pham had nursed her grandmother for three months in her hospital bed before she died, and she had experience in nursing patients.
"Good."
Ivory took the water and went out. Megan Pham took a lot of effort to take off Leo Moyer's suit and shirt. Although Leo Moyer had been lying in bed for half a year, his upper body still had obvious muscle lines, and the mermaid line on his abdomen was amazing.
She couldn't help touching it, really hard!
Megan Pham was wondering when her attention was drawn to the tattoo on Leo Moyer's chest.
“M”。
A simple black letter, neat and mysterious.
What do you mean?
Megan Pham's first thought is Jenny Klein's Mu, whose initials are M. It seems that whether Jenny Klein is pregnant or not, Leo Moyer is true love for her. Leo Moyer was forced to marry himself when he was in a coma, and she drove away the person he loved. How much would he hate her if he knew?
Megan Pham felt a little guilty at the thought of this, but she was forced to do so.
Megan Pham wrung a warm towel and carefully wiped Leo Moyer's body. After wiping, she massaged his arms and back. After massaging her upper body, Megan Pham's hand reached carefully into Leo Moyer's trousers. It was the first time she had taken off a man's trousers in her 25 years of life. Although the man was her nominal husband, she still felt uncomfortable and her cheeks were burning.
"Think of it as peeling a banana."
Megan Pham did a good job of psychological construction, took three deep breaths, just pulled off the zipper on Leo Moyer's pants, and suddenly felt a tight wrist. She looked down unconsciously and saw Leo Moyer open his eyes, his dark eyes staring at her sullenly, like prey, and his big palm on her wrist.
What's going on?
"Ah.."
Megan Pham was about to cry out when the man on the bed sat up quickly, pulled her into his arms and covered her mouth and nose with his other hand.
The whole series of movements are flowing like clouds and flowing water, which is totally unlike what a vegetable who has just woken up can do.
"Well.."
"Shut up!" He snapped in her ear.
Megan Pham was gripped in Leo Moyer's arms, her body stiff, but her mind was clear that Leo Moyer had recovered! Moreover, it must have been a period of recovery, otherwise, how can a person who has been paralyzed in bed for a long time have such strong and shapely muscles?
"Don't make a sound!"
Megan Pham nodded.
Leo Moyer released her, and the first thing he did when he sat up in bed was turn around and zip up his pants.
Seeing this, Megan Pham blushed at the thought that she had just touched someone else's fishing line and his crotch.
"When did you wake up?" Megan Pham couldn't help asking.
“……”
"I just.." That's not intentional. She was talking about what she did to him.
“……”
"Why did you pretend to be a vegetable when you were already awake?"
"Return the 80 million betrothal gifts immediately, or shut up and choose for yourself." Leo Moyer cold tunnel.
Megan Pham missed a beat. She was curious about why Leo Moyer pretended to be a vegetable, but she needed money more. With money, she could keep her father's efforts and save her brother.
"I choose to shut up."
Leo Moyer snorted disdainfully, walked to the door, carefully locked the bedroom door, and then, without looking at Megan Pham, took her pajamas and went into the bathroom.
The water in the bathroom "gurgled" for a long time. After the water stopped, Leo Moyer put on his pajamas and came out of the bathroom. His black hair was half dry, and his ascetic face was enough to kill any male star in the magazine.
Megan Pham sat cross-legged on the couch next to the bed and looked at him without saying a word.
It turns out that there is a person whose temperament is so different between opening his eyes and not opening his eyes. Leo Moyer, who opens his eyes, exudes a dangerous atmosphere all over his body.
As Leo Moyer approaches, Megan Pham unconsciously flexes her nerves.
Don't say a word about what you saw today. Otherwise, I will make you disappear forever in Portland. Leo Moyer walked up to Megan Pham, propped his hands on the back of the couch, and threatened condescendingly, Ms. Pham, you know I can do this.
With the scent of his shower gel in the air, mixed with the smell of hormones, Megan Pham felt the invisible oppression.
She was usually a calm enough person, but now under his shackles, her heart was beating faster and she was a little flustered. She was married to the Moyer family instead, originally to protect her family and keep The Modern, but now it seems that she is in trouble with someone more terrible.
"I won't say."
"You are sensible."
Leo Moyer dropped this sentence, pushed open a hidden wall in the bedroom in front of Megan Pham, and walked into a secret passage leading to nowhere.
After Leo Moyer left, Megan Pham tiptoed gently to the dark wall and pressed the switch like Leo Moyer, but she couldn't open the door.
It seemed that his room, and even the whole Woodforest, was full of traps.
Megan Pham stayed awake alone in the big bed until midnight. Leo Moyer returned to her room at about two o'clock in the morning. She felt him lying down on the other side of the bed. They were far away from each other, but his aura was still pressing on her, making it even harder for her to sleep peacefully.
Her wedding night is really confusing and jumpy.
The next morning, Megan Pham got up early to wash up. She changed her clothes and looked back as she walked out the door. Leo Moyer lay motionless in bed, looking like a vegetable again.
You can really pretend.
On the second day of their wedding, Megan Pham made the customary trip back to the the Moyer familythe Estate to offer tea.
On the way, she dodged the bodyguard and asked Ivory, "Usually Mr.". Everything about Moyer is Doc. Is Hull in charge?
"Yes, Mrs.". Moyer, and before that, Doc. Hull's sister is helping with the treatment, Mr. Moyer, but she hasn't been here for a long time, and now Doc. Hull alone.
“Ms. Where's Klein? Does she usually come every day?
"Yes, every day, very attentive, but Doc.". Hull rarely lets her in, Mr. Moyer's room, because she's always crying and annoying, at most, let her in every few days to have a look, Doc. Hull said Mr. Moyer needs to rest.
Megan Pham nodded. It seemed that not many people knew that Leo Moyer had awakened. Doc. Hull is one, she is one, and she doesn't know whether the secret is a blessing or a curse?
The the Moyer family will be here soon.
Megan Pham offered tea to the the Moyer family's elders as a matter of protocol. Leo Moyer's father had passed away and his grandfather was still old Mr. Moyer, Grandma and old Mrs. Jin. Moyer, his stepmother Henley, his eldest brother Howard Moyer, and his collateral uncles, old Mr. Moyer hasn't seen any guests recently because of his illness. Grandma is in charge today. Of course, only Grandma likes Megan Pham. Everyone else is cold to Megan Pham and doesn't like to write it on their faces.
"Megan, did Leo have any reaction to wake up on his wedding night last night?" Old Mrs. Jin. Moyer asked.
"No, Grandma." With Leo Moyer's threats still in her ears, of course she can't tell the truth.
Old Mrs. Jin. Moyer was a little disappointed when he heard this. The master clearly said that her grandson's wedding night would be better. Did the master miscalculate?
"Mom, don't worry. More haste, less speed. Give Leo more time." Henley spoke softly to comfort him.
Old Mrs. Jin. Moyer snorted. "Of course you want him to wake up as late as possible!"
"Mom, how could it be? I'm sure I hope Leo will get better soon and pick up the company's backbone quickly." Henley looked at Megan Pham and shifted the line of fire. "It's just that I think if Chongxi is useful, why do I need a doctor?"
"Are you questioning the master?"
"No, Mom." Leo Moyer's brother-in-law said, "Sister-in-law just thinks it's not worth spending some money to marry a useless person."
Megan Pham got it. They're talking about the 80 million dowry.
"Even if it's not Chongxi, I Leo should marry a wife at the age of 28. Megan is the daughter of the Pham family. She is beautiful and has a clean family background. Is she better than Jenny Klein who is unknown?"? You, one by one, just can't see Leo! Old Mrs. Jin. Moyer waved impatiently, "Let's go, let's go. If Megan hadn't come to offer tea today, I wouldn't have wanted to see you!"
Coming out of the Moyer family, Megan Pham was pestered by Leo Moyer's eldest brother Howard Moyer, who did not look like Leo Moyer, or even had similar facial features, and Leo Moyer had a good figure. But Howard Moyer is middle-aged and fat, and his whole body is covered with fat and greasy.
"Sister and brother!"
"Big Brother." Megan Pham responded politely.
"Last night on the wedding night, you were really wronged to let your beautiful younger brother and sister guard a living dead man." Howard Moyer patted Megan Pham on the back of her hand. "I don't know when my brother will wake up. If you're lonely, you can find Big Brother. Big Brother promises to spoil you."
The younger brother turned into a vegetable lying on the bed, when the eldest brother actually molested the younger brother and sister? This family really refreshes the three views.
Megan Pham looked at Howard Moyer's gill and felt sick. She stepped back and said coldly, "Don't worry. Since I chose to marry Leo Moyer, I have made all the preparations. Everything is my choice. I don't feel wronged."
She said and left.
Howard Moyer looked at her tall and slender figure, and felt a burst of impatience in his heart. He was just good-looking and aloof. Sooner or later, he would fall into the palm of his hand.
*
After Megan Pham left the the Moyer family, she went straight to the hospital.
Ten days ago, her father, Kian Pham, and her brother, Gael Pham, were involved in a car accident. Her father died on the spot and her brother is still in the hospital.
Her mother, Lola, has been in the hospital since taking care of her father's funeral.
"Mom, how's Gael?"
"Not yet awake.". The doctor said that if he went on like this, he would probably become a vegetable. When Lola said the three words "vegetable", her voice was obviously lighter. She was afraid that Megan Pham would feel uncomfortable. After all, she had married a vegetable husband, and now her brother was going to become a vegetable, which was a double blow.
"Don't you worry." Megan Pham patted Lola on the back of her hand. "We have money now. We can treat my brother. He will be all right."
Lola nodded and suddenly remembered something, "Megan, speaking of which, your bride price Krew Pham has been transferred to me, but I only received 40 million."
The betrothal gift is 80 million, but how can it be half less?
It must be her black-hearted and greedy uncle Krew Pham who is playing some game.
Damn, The Modern is not satisfied with being greedy for so much.
Megan Pham was angry, but her tone was flat. "I know. Don't worry. I'll ask my uncle."
She soothed her mother and walked out of the ward.
Lola looked at her daughter's back and sighed silently. Because her parents-in-law preferred boys to girls, her daughter was sent to the countryside to live with her grandmother when she was young. She didn't return to the Pham family until she was 18 years old. They owed her something, but now they want her to sacrifice herself and shoulder all the burdens of life. It's really too guilty and painful.
Megan Pham called her uncle Krew Pham in the corridor of the hospital and asked why the bride price was reduced by half. Krew Pham said cheekily, "Megan, you can't burn the bridge. I'll pull strings for you and make you Mrs. the Moyer family.". Moyer, shouldn't there be a benefit fee?
"But 40 million is too much. You know where The Modern is now. I need the money urgently."
"That's your business, but you're determined to take over your father's mess, so you can figure it out yourself."
Krew Pham finished and hung up.
Megan Pham has a headache.
The Modern was first founded in 1918 by the old man the Pham family, which has a history of 100 years. It is one of the few century-old restaurant brands in Portland. It was later handed down from Megan Pham's grandfather to her father Kian Pham. Kian Pham took over the year. The Modern was also faced with the crisis of bankruptcy, and his father was ordered to make drastic reforms. He devoted half of his life to the Modern, and finally kept the brand of the time-honored brand.
In recent years, when his father was in poor health, his uncle Krew Pham took the initiative to shoulder the heavy burden of The Modern's operation. Unexpectedly, Krew Pham did not have the patience to do traditional business steadily and steadily. He just wanted to make quick money. Regardless of the actual operation of the restaurant, he expanded the store crazily and marked the price randomly, constantly consuming customers'feelings for the old brand. Soon, The Modern suffered the cold winter of catering industry, was abandoned by consumers, the capital chain was seriously broken, so many stores across the country were unsustainable, and employees were facing the crisis of unemployment.
At the time of life and death, Krew Pham offered to sell the shares of The Modern at a low price, trying to get the last bit of wool from The Modern, which was severely rejected by Kian Pham, while everyone was waiting for Kian Pham to save The Modern from fire and water again. Kian Pham and his son Gael Pham were involved in a car accident. One died and the other was unconscious.
The mess naturally fell into the hands of Megan Pham, the eldest daughter of Kian Pham.
Megan Pham had just walked out of the hospital when her phone rang. It was Devin Ellison, the vice president of The Modern and her father's right-hand man.
“Mr. Ellison。”
"Megan, when will the money you said before arrive?" Devin Ellison is a little anxious, "If there is no working capital, no salary, the old employees can not stay, you say a time-honored brand, craftsmen are gone, craftsmen are unstable, then what support can we get?"
“Mr. Ellison, I'll transfer you 30 million first. You solve the urgent need first, and I'll think of the rest.
"Good."
Megan Pham returned to Woodforest after transferring the money, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw all the servants and bodyguards of Woodforest standing outside.
"What's the matter?" Megan Pham asks Ivory.
“Doc. Hull is back. Ivory said softly, "Doc.". Hull has a weird temper, and he doesn't like to be around noise when he sees a doctor, so every time he comes, we have to come out.
Megan Pham nodded, thinking that this Doc. Hull is not eccentric, he must be using this as a cover to buy Leo Moyer space to come down.
"Can I go in?"
Are you Mrs. Moyer,Doc. Hull should not dare to say you.
