The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 13: Chapter 12: Accident

In the car.

Norman Bennett leaned against the seat with his eyes closed, probably because he hadn’t slept well last night.

Meanwhile, the little girl next to him kept scrolling through her phone, looking somewhat bored.

"Sigh~" Elliana Lyle sighed softly, pressing the screen off button with her thumb. Last night, she had sent another message to Joy Lyle, but there was still no response, and she had no idea what happened.

"Come here." Norman Bennett raised his arm, leaning back against the seat, signaling with his eyes for her to move closer.

Elliana obediently scooted closer to him, snuggling up against his body.

"Norman, I’m hungry. I haven’t eaten anything since this morning." Elliana lifted her big eyes and looked at Norman pitifully, like a kitten waiting to be fed.

Gently tapping the little girl’s nose with his fingertip, Norman Bennett asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Elliana lowered her eyes, glancing sideways as if in thought, but then quickly lifted her gaze and said with a grin, "Fried chicken, and a soda~"

"No." As expected, Norman Bennett refused her without mercy.

She knew this would happen. Norman Bennett was a health-conscious person who hardly ate fried food, so around him, it was best not to think about it.

"Then... can I have winter melon shrimp porridge at least?"

"Sure."

Seeing him nod, Elliana continued, "I also want crab meat dumplings, crab roe soup dumplings, and fish tofu pudding."

"That’s too much, remove two." Norman Bennett couldn’t help but ruffle her hair. The girl’s appetite was always a mystery to him.

Sometimes, a bowl of wontons could fill her up, and even when happy, she didn’t eat much, but if in a bad mood, she would binge eat.

What comforted him was that no matter how upset she was, she would never skip a meal.

"Then... let’s skip the tofu pudding and soup dumplings."

Norman Bennett naturally held her hand towards the main entrance. It wasn’t deliberate; the two of them together
