The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 5: Chapter 4: Norman Bennett, I Like You

This private room is very large. Looking behind Norman Bennett, there is a resting sofa and a coffee table. However, this already large enough table made Elliana Lyle feel too close to him.

It seemed so close that she could hear his breathing and smell that lotus fragrance. In fact, lotus was Elliana Lyle’s favorite flower, but she never wore perfume. No matter when she encountered Norman Bennett, she always felt like summer had arrived, yet these lotus flowers seemed to bloom in winter.

"Um... where’s my phone?" Elliana Lyle felt a bit uncomfortable being looked at by Norman Bennett, so she broke the silent and oppressive atmosphere first.

Norman Bennett restrained his expression, gently pressing the screen menu at the edge of the table with his slender fingers, then calmly looked at Elliana Lyle and said, "Let’s eat first, then... I have something to tell you."

"Oh~ okay." Elliana Lyle nodded slightly, her hands clasped together, appearing a bit restrained, which was unusual, as she wasn’t like this before.

After finishing a bowl of wonton, feeling the warmth in her stomach, Elliana Lyle gently blew on a soup spoon, holding her temple’s stray hair with one pale, delicate hand, sipping the hot soup in small sips.

Elliana Lyle’s looks were exquisite. Even just sipping soup was enough to dazzle someone’s eyes.

"Alright, what’s the matter?" Elliana Lyle put down the spoon, having been constantly recalling what Norman Bennett had said earlier, wondering about what he wanted to say, feeling a bit expectant for a moment.

Norman Bennett first returned her phone to her, then said, "I know you oppose the marriage arranged by your parents. Marriage is not a game; it naturally needs to be careful, and I respect your decision. This engagement... is annulled."

The words ’annulled’ were almost squeezed out of Norman Bennett’s mouth. He was reluctant, yet had no choice but to let go.

However, Elliana Lyle’s face didn’t show the joy he expected. Instead, she was stunned, and the light in her eyes vanished at that moment, becoming lost and dim.

Her already fair and slightly moist skin appeared pale and unbearable at this moment. Elliana Lyle never thought that Norman Bennett was going to break off the engagement with her!

The hand holding the phone gradually tightened, fingertips turning red. Her nose started to tingle with soreness, and the next second, tears welled up in her eyes, looking like pearls dropping onto the table, but actually falling into someone’s heart.

Norman Bennett couldn’t fathom Elliana Lyle. His handsome brows slightly furrowed, contemplating for a moment, then said, "You’re the one who asked to cancel it, and I agreed!"
