The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 23: Chapter 22: Drunken Nonsense

Elliana Lyle hid in the man’s arms, but cried even more fiercely. However, she did not struggle, because this was Norman Bennett, the one who made her feel at ease.

All the way back to the suite, Norman Bennett did not say a word.

However, the little girl in his arms was clinging on tightly, so Norman Bennett had no choice but to keep holding her.

Lana, worried yet perceptive, quietly returned to the nanny’s room, ready to take orders at any time.

After a while, Norman Bennett spoke the first sentence: "Have you cried enough?"

The little girl in his arms was still sobbing uncontrollably. Norman Bennett forced her to lift her head: "Look at me, stop crying."

"Ugh~" Elliana’s eyes were timid when she saw Norman Bennett’s cold face, as if she was truly frightened. She obediently stopped crying but couldn’t help but sob.

"Girl." Norman Bennett softened his tone, his big hand smoothing out the messy strands of hair on her small face.

Norman Bennett gazed seriously at that flushed little face, speaking with certainty: "You can’t escape now. For the rest of your life, you can only marry me."

"Norman Bennett, I didn’t lie... I didn’t lie." Elliana was drunk and hazy, seemingly not registering Norman Bennett’s words. She stubbornly wanted to know where she went wrong.

"Ugh... Explain clearly, where did I lie? Why did you abandon me? Why do you also bully me, ugh..." The more she asked, the more aggrieved she felt. Elliana was immersed in her own world, lost in grief.

She continued to lament: "Shane Southwell killed my parents. Eleanor Llyod killed my cat, and now you don’t want me either..."

"What?" Norman Bennett was obviously taken aback. He remembered the little girl had confidently said it was murder on the day of the aunt’s car accident.

"I shouldn’t have married Shane Southwell... I finally reincarnated, prevented... my parents’ car accident, finally..." Elliana spoke intermittently, striving to confide in Norman Bennett.

These words sounded like drunken babbling. Norman Bennett pressed his thin lips together, quietly listening to the little girl’s confessions in his arms.

Elliana pouted, gesturing with her hands: "I bought a cat at Jiajia Pets, it was a white cat, with pink ears... I called it Lilypad."

"But... but later, Eleanor Llyod gouged out its eyes, and Shane Southwell stomped it to death. At that time, I couldn’t protect it, Lilypad died, Lilypad died..."

His little girl seemed to have experienced many things, suffered many grievances, and now was trembling with sobs, crying so much that it broke his heart.
