Love At The Right Price

Chapter 34

As soon as Ronald received news that Shirley had run away with the information of the date she was set up with and she was currently bickering badly with Frank, he quickly rushed over. However, as soon as Ronald walked through the doors, he heard Frank’s words and he instantly trembled with fear. He didn’t even bother to find out what was going on, but he rushed over and delivered a slap to Shirley’s face.

“Dad!” Shirley was dizzy from the slap delivered by Ronald and as soon as she saw the person standing in front of her clearly, she couldn’t control the tears streaming down her face.

“You’re a disgrace!” Ronald shot a look at her and turned around to look at Frank apologetically.

Meanwhile, Frank had a darkened expression. “I’m not the one you should be apologizing to.”

As for Ronald, he was quite accustomed to the ways of life from all those years in the corporate world, so he quickly turned to look at Tim and squatted next to him. “I’m sorry, kiddo. This lady here was very rude. Please don’t be upset. I’ll buy you the best toy in the world as a token of my apology.”

“I don’t need that. Just don’t make my mommy upset.” Tim spoke in a stilted voice.

At that moment, Ronald was seemingly dumbfounded. Their entire family is mainly concerned about each other’s emotions. In the end, he stood up and turned to Tamara. “Apologies, Miss Randall, but my daughter’s too spoiled and she offended you without realizing the consequences. I hope that you will be able to forgive her graciously.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Just then, Tamara pursed her lips but remained silent.

Ronald then shifted his gaze as he murmured, “Miss Randall, I heard that you’ve acquired Colt Enterprise and you’re back here to take over the company. I’m sure that we will end up working

together in the future, so today’s incident was indeed a very unfortunate one. It was my daughter’s fault for not realizing your identity. I’ll pay you a proper visit with my daughter in tow next time to apologize to you.”

The Colt Enterprise had gone through a major overhaul and this was a widely known news in Deacon Town. Ronald was quite well-informed so it was no surprise that he knew about it too.

Tamara wasn’t one to take advantage of the situation, and she sympathized with Ronald having to apologize to her so pleadingly for Shirley’s sake at such an old age. Although she felt quite curious as she realized that Colt Enterprise wasn’t influential enough for Ronald to be so mindful of her emotions, she didn’t stress too much about it and she merely nodded. “It’s alright.”

At that moment, Ronald was full of gratitude and to express his sincere apology, he reserved the entire movie theater so that the three of them could enjoy the movie together. Subsequently, he escorted Shirley out of the place.

Tamara’s jovial mood was largely affected and she no longer wanted to watch the film. Subsequently, she gave the movie tickets to a young couple standing by the entrance and rounded up Frank and Tim to go home.

As soon as Tamara entered the car, she suddenly sneezed violently. Frank swiftly handed over a sheet of tissue to her and she turned around to get it from him. With a smile, she expressed her thanks.

“Did you catch a cold?” Frank’s low voice was full of concern.

Meanwhile, Tamara shook her head. “I think it must be Shirley cursing me. I’m fine.” After she had said that, she sneezed consecutively a few more times and tears welled up in her eyes.

Her reaction seemed to be out of the norm. At that point, Frank frowned slightly. “Take some medicine once we get home.”

He was not one to show concern for anyone else, but Tamara had merely sneezed a couple of times and that had caused him to panic. This was something that even he himself found surprising.

As for Tim, he glanced out of the window with interest and he was in good spirits. Finally, there’s someone else who shows concern for Mommy. Maybe we will become an actual family of three in no time.

After they had arrived home, a phone call from Emily came.

Tamara couldn’t be bothered to hold her phone in her hand, so she pressed the loudspeaker button. Instantly, Emily’s incessant voice rang out. “Tamara, you’re quite wily, huh? Our boy told me that you had a great day out today and you brought along your so-called husband too. He also mentioned that your so-called husband is very handsome. So, what exactly is going on? Did you experience any passionate moments during your date today?”
