The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 17: Chapter 16: Luring the Tiger Out of the Mountain

"Elliana? Elliana, are you inside?"

At this moment, Joy Lyle’s voice suddenly came from outside the bathroom door.

"Oh~ I’m here, what’s up?" Elliana Lyle felt her phone screen go dark as she responded from inside.

Joy’s voice was gentle, "Aunt was just looking for you, she said grandma wants you to visit her."

"Okay, I’ll be right there." Elliana finished speaking and deliberately pressed the flush.

Ada Lee had already sat down slowly beside Norman Bennett, her beautiful face breaking into a smile, as she made casual conversation, "Norman, how have you been lately?"

"Hmm, sis." Norman replied politely, partly because Ada was a relative of the little girl. Beyond that, his face showed no other expression, remaining as impersonal as ever.

Ada didn’t care about Norman’s coldness, instead, she smiled and quipped, "I heard from Aunt that Elliana is staying at the Bennett Family’s house. She’s really settled down quite a bit."

"She’s always been well-behaved."

"Not even married yet, and he’s already defending her." Ada covered her mouth with a light chuckle, her laughter was gentle and crisp.

Then Ada seemed lost in thought as if reminiscing. She sighed, "I remember last time when Elliana found out she was going to marry you, she was extremely unwilling. She tried to get us together to avoid the marriage, even locked the two of us in."

"It was so dark in the basement back then; you don’t know how I’ve been afraid of the dark since I was a child. If it were just me, I don’t know what I would have done. Luckily, there were the two of us, otherwise, it would have traumatized me."

"Hmm." Norman merely hummed in response, not continuing the conversation, but his brow furrowed lightly as he understood who Elliana was doing it for.

Ada tilted her head slightly, her long curls falling naturally behind her shoulders, revealing her lovely collarbone. She looked earnestly at Norman and said.

"Norman, do you know you have a reassuring aura about you? I felt it last time. I thought it was an illusion due to fear, but now I can still feel it around you. I think if Elliana stays with you long enough, she’d feel it too."

"At that time Elliana even went on a three-day hunger strike for marrying Shane Southwell, don’t know what charm Shane has... later I don’t know what happened to both of them." Ada suddenly stopped, as if realizing she misspoke, she quietly withheld the rest.

Then Ada sighed lightly, as if comforting, "Norman, Elliana was immature back then. Now that you two have reconciled, she must have severed ties with Shane too."
