The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 20: Chapter 19: Lying

"Norman Bennett, wait a moment, I’m going to the bathroom. We’ll talk when I get back." Elliana Lyle said and dashed off.

Buzz buzz~

Elliana’s phone rang on the carpet, and a message popped up on the screen.

Roland: "Elliana, meet me at the café in front of Lotus Park at 1 PM tomorrow. You must be tired today, so get some good rest."

Elliana came out three minutes later, leaping into the man’s arms and continued to coo, "Norman Bennett, is that alright?"

"Alright."

Norman Bennett agreed immediately, but his eyes grew darker.

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow afternoon, accompany me out." Norman Bennett’s tone was commanding, with a chill like snowflakes slipping down the neck.

Elliana nestled in his arms, her big eyes staring at the man’s distinct chin.

She couldn’t quite figure it out. Really... everything was fine just now, how did he suddenly get so fierce?

Seeing the little girl a bit dazed, Norman Bennett spoke again, "Don’t make me repeat myself."

"Oh... goodnight then!"

Norman Bennett’s grim face was somewhat frightening to her, prompting her to obediently get up and run back to the room.

She really found it strange, why did Norman Bennett suddenly get angry? Was it because she was being unreasonable?

Forget it, forget it, anyway, she already agreed.

Sitting on the sofa, Norman Bennett was lost in thought, his slender fingers tightly pinching his brow, still able to feel the lingering warmth of the little girl in his embrace.

He had investigated the relationship between Eleanor Llyod and Shane Southwell, not wanting the little girl to be deceived, and tried to stop it several times.

Yet, she didn’t trust him.

Now she hated Eleanor Llyod so much, she must have known.

Sometimes... he really wanted to let go, as long as she would be happy.

But he was selfish, wanting to possess her alone.
