Flash Marriage: Pampered by Mr.Bigshot-Chapter 631 - 630: Uncle is Going to be Poached
Annie Davidson watched as Owen Lewis stood there, seeing the sadness in him, seeing the teardrops glistening in his eyes.
In that moment, Annie’s heart softened despite herself.
She slowly walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
She knew his loneliness better than anyone else, knew how many scars he bore, how many times he had narrowly escaped death.
"I always thought you didn’t know."
Annie had investigated the affairs of the Lewis family a long time ago and knew many secrets.
However, her investigation indicated that Owen Lewis didn’t know.
"How could I not know? Especially considering who I am."
Owen Lewis smiled wryly. If he didn’t have extraordinary abilities, he wouldn’t have known. But... he knew.
"Owen."
Owen Lewis stiffened, looking down at Annie in disbelief.
Did she... call him Owen again?
"I... um..."
Owen Lewis, overcome with emotion, quickly lowered his head and passionately pressed his lips against hers.
Everything was conveyed without words.
「Meanwhile」
Maxwell Peary had no idea that Owen Lewis had already settled his affairs. Ignoring Maxwell completely, Annie and Owen Lewis left hand in hand, whispering sweet nothings.
The corner of Maxwell Peary’s mouth twitched.
He was still waiting in the Office Room. After thinking for a long time, he decided to call Nia Mitchell.
Nia Mitchell was having tea with EdbertNia Mitchell in a Tea Room. The quiet air was filled with the delicate fragrance of tea leaves, and her eyes shone with a smile.
"So, you called me out just to ask me to return to Star Media?"
Nia Mitchell found it hard to believe what she was hearing; she had already stated she wouldn’t go back.
"Do you want to be a mere accessory to Maxwell Peary?"
His question, as always, was piercingly direct.
Nia Mitchell was stunned. How could she not have considered this question? She had thought about these things before, but she didn’t want to leave either.
"Just because I stay with MC Group, does that make me an accessory?"
Nia Mitchell looked at EdbertNia Mitchell. Although she questioned his words, she knew the answer in her heart. If she stayed at MC Group, in other people’s eyes, she would just be an accessory.
"I know you. You care more about what others think than most people imagine."
Who in this world could possibly not care about the opinions of others? Nia Mitchell bit her lip, sitting there and looking at the teacup in front of her.
"I’ll think about it."
Her staying at MC Group was also hindering Maxwell Peary’s work and attracting a lot of gossip.
"Good. I believe you’ll make the wisest choice."
EdbertNia Mitchell smiled faintly and took a sip from his teacup.
The light fragrance of the tea filled his mouth, leaving a pleasant, lingering taste.
Nia Mitchell lowered her head, biting her lip, completely immersed in her thoughts.
Her phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the Private Room.
"Sorry."
Nia Mitchell smiled awkwardly and quickly picked up her phone. The caller ID showed Maxwell Peary.
"Uncle?"
Only then did Nia Mitchell remember that she had left the company without sending him a text.
"Yes."
He responded faintly. Clearly, he was the one who had called, yet now he acted as if he didn’t want to say a word.
His demeanor clearly conveyed to her: I noticed you left the company without telling me. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?
"Uncle, I’m currently having tea with EdbertNia Mitchell. I’ll be back later—"
Maxwell Peary’s brows furrowed, his right hand clutching the phone tightly, the veins on his pale hand bulging.
EdbertNia Mitchell!
