Soon the arrived at emperor garden , Raymond got down and directly entered the house ,while assistant got down s d walked to his own car that he packed I the morning when he came to pick them up .He got into the car with his things and drove off .
...
When Raymond walked in he didn't see a sign of the little girl ,he went to the kitchen and saw butler David packing food in different bowls .
Uncle Where's Anne , Raymond asked.
Oh sir you are back,welcome Butler Davis smiled and said to Raymond. Well sir madam ,came back this afternoon and went straight to her room ,but she hasn't come down till now ,so I was thinking of taking dinner to her , butler Davis said.
Wait ,did she go anywhere today , Raymond asked .
Yes sir she did,she told me she has to go somewhere and would come back before noon ,but she ended up coming back ,after lunch time so she told me that she would come down and eat dinner later but she hasn't come down until now he explained.
Oh ,okay ,I will take the food to her , Raymond said reaching out to take the food.
Okay sir , butler Davis said and handed the food to him , Raymond took the food and headed upstairs.
...
Raymond entered the room and saw that Marianne was sleeping ,he tiptoed so as not to wake her up ,he kept the food on the beside table .
He sat down bedside her ,she looked more beautiful when she was asleep. He brushed his finger against her cheek.
Uhm... Marianne seemed to feel Raymond's touch ,so she slowly opened her eyes only to see that Raymond was sitting beside her.
Mr Raymond ,she slowly sat up and greeted him.
Hmm ,how are you , Raymond smiled gently at her and said.
I am fine ,sorry I over slept , Marianne said still feeling extreme pain from Charles slap.
Why are you talking this way , Raymond noticed her Expressions and asked worriedly.
It,s nothing Marianne said .
Are you sure , Raymond's finger brushed against her lips ,as he asked.
Hissss, Marianne immediately removed his hand ,and looked away to avoid him seeing the bruise on her mouth and cheek.
What,s wrong Raymond said trying to reach out to Marianne's face but she dodged, he didn't give up and directly pulled har face towards him.
Raymond was shocked when he saw the bruise on Marianne's face ,it seemed to be a slap. How did this happen , Raymond asked angrily.
Marianne shuddered after hearing his angry voice. She immediately shrank her neck in fear.
Raymond seemed to remember that he had gone overboard ,he immediately softened his time and apologized.
Anne ,I am sorry I didn't mean to shout at you ,I was just worried ,now can you tell me what happened , Raymond said.
Marianne looked at him for a few seconds , even if she didn't want to tell him ,he still had means to find out ,so it was better to tell him now.
I went to my family house today , because he called and told me to come home ,so I went.
He told me that I should go and apologize to Mr Elvis ,and he won't hold it against me.
I rebuked and refuted him ,and he slapped me really hard and said that I am not part of the Griffin family anymore.
Marianne finished speaking and observed Raymond's expression ,and his expression was really not good .
Raymond was burning with anger ,just today that he was not with her ,this people had already bullied his little girl ,he swore that he would make them pay times two.
Anne I am sorry I wasn't there when all this happened ,I promise to get revenge for you , Raymond said .
Marianne looked at Raymond and couldn't help but feel warm ,she wondered how someone would be willing to do anything for . You don't have to apologize ,I mean it is not your fault ,I do not want you to get into trouble because of me .
Raymond didn't say anything ,he reached out to open the beside cupboard to take out an ointment.
After I apply this ,we can have dinner and then go to sleep.
Raymond said applying the ointment to her mouth .
Hiss , Marianne winshed in pain when Raymond applied the ointment.
I am sorry , Raymond said gently applying it afraid of hurting her .
Soon he finished applying the ointment and went into the bathroom to wash his hand.
Marianne's eyes couldn't help but get wet ,this man would go out of his way to do anything for her , something her family never dish for her . Could the have known each other before ,n,no how could that be ,I mean she just came back few days ago ,so it was impossible for them to know each other.
Marianne was still muttering to get self wen Raymond came out of the bathroom.
Who are you talking to , Raymond who caught her talking to her self asked.
Nothing , Marianne quickly denied. Come on let,s wag ,she got up and took the food to the sofa.
Raymond did not dwell on the matter and walked to the sofa where she was.
He sat down and looked at the food with only one spoon , seems like we are gonna eat with one spoon , Raymond said picking up a bowl of soup , to take a seep ,then he handed it to Marianne to eat.
Marianne looked at him for a second , and pondered for a moment ,she knew that everyone has gone to rest and she didn't have the strength to go down to get another spoon.
So she reluctantly took the spoon from his hand and took a sip of the soup.
Raymond couldn't contend his smile , it was just a matter of time till she starts accepting him.
Marianne ate a little bit she and handed the rest to Raymond because she didn't have much of an apitite.
Raymond frowned at the big portion of food use remained. Eat a little more you are so skinny ,yet you still don't eat.
I don't have an appetite ,you can eat I will go take a shower , Marianne said grabbing her night gown and heading to the bathroom.
Raymond knew that she was feeling low so he didn't force her anymore.
When he saw that she had entered the bathroom ,he picked up his phone and dailed assistant David's number.
Boss ,soon assistant David's voice came through.
Reduce 40 percent of the Griffin family stock ,and tell them that if they don't stop bothering Marianne ,the will face more , Raymond said.
Okay sir I will do that right away assistant David replied.
Raymond did not say anything and just hung up the phone .
.....
Soon Marianne came out of the bathroom all dressed with her hair dry ,she didn't say anything to Raymond she got into the bed directly ,and closed her eye to sleep.
Raymond who had finished eating , walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
Few minutes later he emerged from the bathroom ,he got dressed and lay directly on the bed.
He thought that the little girl had slept ,so he turned off the beside lamp and kisses her forehead. Goodnight ,he said and closed his eye.
Marianne hadn't actually slept and felt his cold lips on her forehead ,but she still pretended to sleep,she has a lot of things in her mind but soon fell asleep.
