The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 167: Chapter 165: Timid Disciple

p.m.

After getting in the car, Norman Bennett closed his eyes for some rest. The car was filled with a scent of wine mixed with lotus, neither pleasant nor unpleasant.

Elliana Lyle rolled down the window, then leaned toward the man, pressing her face against his chest, listening to the strong and steady heartbeat.

"Norman Bennett, are you drunk?"

There was no response; he must be drunk, right? She cautiously raised her eyes. The man’s eyes were tightly shut. From this angle, she could clearly see his jawline, nose, and lips.

He looked like someone straight out of a comic, and there seemed to be a bit of a blush on his cheeks, making him look less cold.

"Norman Bennett~?" She softly called again, the man leaned against the back of the seat without any response.

She was now sure the man had fallen asleep. After all, he returned home last night just when she woke up to get some water.

It was almost 4 a.m. then, and he got up at 6 a.m. today, so he must be very tired now.

She leaned back against the man’s chest, yawned, and then closed her eyes as well.

At this moment, the man opened his eyes, gazing softly at the girl’s head, then closed his eyes again.

―――Moonlake Villas.

When Elliana Lyle woke up, it was already dark. She was sitting on the empty large bed, the dim light from the bedside lamp seemed faint. She was the only one in the vast room.

She recalled that she was in the car just a moment ago. She ruffled her messy hair, trying to wake herself up a bit more.

It must have been Norman Bennett who carried her back, but there was no trace of the man now.

She reached out to touch the switch, the brightness of the white light was somewhat glaring for someone used to the dimness, and it took her a while to adjust.

She opened her phone, and it was exactly 11:11 p.m., with unread messages on WeChat.
