The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 274: Chapter 271: The Lion King

Faced with such a fierce tone, Elliana Lyle’s hand, half-extended, paused in mid-air before she reluctantly withdrew it.

Clearly, playing cute was no longer going to work, so she simply lowered her head, quietly awaiting the man’s criticism.

About three seconds later, she felt a warm sensation on her head; it was the man’s hand gently ruffling her hair, his touch exceedingly tender.

She looked up, her almond-shaped eyes staring intently at his face.

There were no reprimands.

To her, Norman Bennett sometimes felt like a guardian; perhaps... she had known Norman since she was young, and they had spent even more time together than she had with Shawn Lyle.

So she relied on him a lot and also got used to being "afraid" of him.

However, in the man’s eyes, her current expression appeared innocent and adorable—an expression that could soften any heart, especially that of Norman Bennett.

Though he intended to reprimand her, at this moment, even a harsher tone seemed sinful.

"You, my dear."

A thousand words condensed into two indulgent words wrapped in a sigh, signaling to Elliana that he wasn’t planning to hold her accountable.

It seemed like her cuteness had managed to defuse the situation.

She grinned, her eyes like twinkling stars, as she leapt to hug the man’s waist, tilting her head up as she spoke in a sweet tone, "I promise not to eat recklessly again. Lesson learned."

"Alright." The man looked down at her, one hand protecting her back, the other gently tousling her hair.

Lastly, he wiped off a small smudge at the corner of her mouth with his finger pads, and then lightly rubbed his fingers together.

Seeing this little unidentified substance, she remembered it was from the chocolate she sneakily ate from Lana’s bag in the car.

She remembered how Claire White had warned her in front of Norman Bennett to avoid chocolate, especially when she felt unwell.

Claire said chocolate was a high-calorie sweet that stimulates gastric acid secretion, which could worsen symptoms for people with stomach issues.

So she rarely ate chocolate, and almost never in front of Norman Bennett.
