Chapter 839
Randall had always been by Linda’s side. When he saw Maliahing over, he immediately turned <b>cautious</b>. Valeria had entrusted him to investigate the rtionship between Maliah and Matthew. And whether she had other motives. Since Randall saw Malish walking straight to Linda with a ss of champagne, his mind signaled that she would cause trouble.
That evening, Maliah was wearing a fiery red dress. She seemed to want topete with Linda However, everyone in the industry knew that red was Linda’s signature color. It was also the color that suited her best.
Maliah’s appearance, on the other hand, was not as good as Linda’s. Coupled with Linda’s pregnancy, her body was overflowing with a maternal glow. Even without makeup, she exuded <b>a </b><b>noble </b>and elegant aura.
On the contrary, Malish looked extremely <b>gaudy</b>. She wore a chess wrap dress with <b>a </b>slir that reached the top of her thigh<b>, </b>and it made her body almost exposed. <b>Men </b>were staring at her, and she deliberately stood tall. If Maliah <b>took </b>a slightlyrger step, anyone could see her thigh. However, she did not seem to care at all <b>Maliah </b>walked straight up to Linda and was about to pour the wine on her.
Randall was already prepared. He grabbed Linda’s waist and pulled her to the side when Maliah deliberately staggered and fell to the ground. Wine spilled all <b>over </b>the floor. <b>Maliah </b>stood up straight and looked at Linda angrily. Her expression was <b>menacing</b>, but she clenched her fists when she looked at Randall beside her.
Randall raised his eyebrows. “Miss Anderson, don’t wear high heels if you can’t walk steadily.

don’t have to <b>take </b>such big
Maliah’s face <b>stiffened</b>. She looked at Randall and took a few deep breaths to stop herself from screaming Then, she sneered. “Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Leigh. You reminded me of the principle I must hold on to”
“If you’re not from the <b>same </b>social ss, don’t push yourself to blend in. Why are youing anyway? Would anyone be willing to befriend such a promiscuous woman<b>? </b>I don’t think so.”
Maliah looked disdainful. “Mr. Leigh, let me give you some advice. You’d better give your wife a lesson <b>about </b>manne check, I’m afraid you’ll suffer a bacsh”

are you
Linda could not help but frown when she heard Maliah’s remark about her. The same thing goes for you, <b>Maliah</b>. You’re rude, and why are wearing such a dress at a banquet?”
<b>Maliah </b>lowered her paze to see her hem stained with red wine. Her face instantly turned red <b>as </b>she turned around and left. Meanwhile, Linda’s face stiffened. “I don’t like that woman. She’s so entitled. Why does she think she deserves <b>a </b>spotlight”
“She’s jealous of you. Maybe because you found a good husband and <b>a </b>friend who treats you sincerely, but she has nothing. She may have her <b>family</b>, <b>but </b>she never found love outside her family
Randall’s words <b>made </b><b>Linda </b><bugh </b>uncontrobly. “I noticed you’re always losing your gentleman side when <b>dealing </b>with her. Why is that?” All this time. Linda had never seen Randall as disrespectful <b>as </b>he was that evening
Randall scratched his head. “Really? <b>T’in </b>just telling the truth”
Randall nced at <b>Linda</b><b>, </b>and Linda happened to be looking up at him as well. When their eyes met, Randall suddenly felt his heart race. There seemed to be an indescribable excitement. He could not help but look away. “I don’t know what’s wrong with Maliah, She rushed at you the moment she arrived. Did you offend her before?”
“No, I don’t have much interaction with her. Besides, I don’t n to have anypetition with her. I’m just an actress who takes part <b>in </b><b>an </b>advertisement.”
Randall raised his eyebrows. It would have been better if she kept it to herself. If Maliah heard what she said, she would plot a n to destroy her. He did not know how her train of thought worked, but he suddenly wondered, “How did Linda do so much business with <b>Julian </b>before<b>? </b>
At that moment, Linda nced at him. “How <b>strange</b>.”
“What’s strange
“It’s nothing. Thank you for standing up to me just now.”
Randall chuckled. “Why are you thanking me? I’m just doing you <b>a </b>favor. Besides, you’re pregnant. What if you fall?” He recalled when Malish tried to bump into Linds. Fortunately, she <b>was </b><b>fine</b>. <b>Otherwise</b>, he would not let her off, <b>especially </b>if something happened to Linda’s baby.
Sensing the change <b>in </b><b>Randall’s </b>face, Linda frowned and felt he was acting strange. She did not know what he was thinking. Why is he looking annoyed right now? His expression suddenly darkened, and his <b>gaze </b>was terrifying Linda thought and felt she didn’t say anything wrong.
Linda immediately took a deep breath. Then, she smiled and said, “Let’s sin there for a while. There are quite a lot of people tonight. By the way, why isn’t Valerie here?” She looked around and did not see Valerie. Katherine did note either. Linda <b>was </b>disappointed, especially <b>because </b>she
came to see them.

Randall escorted her over. But when he saw Lindaing to the dining table for <b>some </b>wine, he held her back. “Are you trying to kill yourself? You’re pregnant!”
“So <b>what</b>?” Linda disagreed. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
Hearing that, Randall almost went berserk. “Pregnant women can’t drink alcohol. Have a ss of juice. No, there’s pigment in it. Forget it go and drink in water!”
He pulled Linda away and asked the server for a ss of water. Seeing this, Linda was stunned. “Randall, L…
“Be good. I’ll squeeze a
fresh juice for <b>you </b>when we get home. But right <b>now</b>, I need you topromise!”
Linda was speechless. She did not say anything and obeyed his order.
Randall watched as Linda <b>drank </b>the water in small sips and frowned. She looked adorable, and is made his heart pound. <b>What’s </b>going on<b>? </b>Why do I find her cute?” The goddess in his heart was not Linda. So, he shook his head and <b>quickly </b>chased Linda out of his heart.
Linda could not help but frown when she saw him behave oddly. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you shaking your head for no reason? Are you sick?” <b>Linda </b>put her hand on Randall’s forehead, and the warmth caused his heart to pound wilder.
<b>Randall </b>immediately pressed down Linda’s hand and said. “I’m not sick.”
“<b>What’s </b>going on? Every time I see her, my heart beats faster <b>than </b><b>usual</b>. This feeling made him feel strange. He did not know when Linda began to take hold of his heart. He hated the feeling so much that he began to panic. This shouldn’t bet I already have someone in my heart. Have I fallen for this woman?
Randall forced himself to calm down. He could not and would never forget about his goddess. However, he was confused when Linda thought he was sick. It was embarrassing and panic–inducing.
