Internet Breaking: The Powerful CEO Reveals His Supermodel Wife-Chapter 592: Grandma, I Think I Made a Mistake
Domestic.
The Vaughn Residence, one o’clock in the morning.
The courtyard’s streetlights were on, but the lights in the living room and other rooms were all turned off.
By this time, Sharon Sheridan was already resting, as well as Aunt You.
Even the surrounding plants were all asleep, welcoming the arrival of tomorrow.
However, at this moment, the phone Sharon Sheridan placed on her bedside table suddenly rang.
First, there was a vibration, followed by the phone’s ringtone, breaking the night’s slumber, breaking all the silence here.
Sharon Sheridan’s phone was almost never on silent or turned off, and at her age, with her children grown up and married, very sensible, aware of her schedule, they knew not to call her after she went to bed unless it was particularly urgent.
And over all these years, neither her children nor her grandchildren had ever called her at this hour.
Unless it was she who had a matter and called them.
But now, her phone rang, in this quiet night, Sharon Sheridan was awakened by the noise.
When she first woke, Sharon Sheridan wasn’t very conscious and didn’t realize there was a call, but as the ringtone kept playing in her ears, she realized someone was calling her, in the deep of the night.
Her heart was rarely tight.
She looked outside the window, the sky was still pitch black, the glow of the streetlamps illuminating the night, everything outside faintly visible.
Sharon Sheridan did not stir at all. She pulled off the quilt, sat up, turned on the light, picked up the phone from the bedside table, and leaned against the headboard to see who was calling.
Only then did she see the caller ID on the phone, Poe. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Seeing this name, Sharon Sheridan was taken aback.
Yes, taken aback.
Poe had never called her this late, not once.
She thought it was her children with something urgent to call her, but unexpectedly, it was Poe.
Rarely, Sharon Sheridan was stunned for two seconds, then looked at the time on the phone, 1:03 AM.
It seemed Poe had encountered something.
And this matter is probably related to Jean, isn’t it?
At this moment, Sharon Sheridan’s heart relaxed, her eyes filled with a smile, she swiped to answer, and brought the phone to her ear: "Poe."
Poe Vaughn was no longer in the living room, he had gone to the study and closed the door.
At this time, he was standing on the study’s balcony, looking at the deep night outside, patiently listening to the ringtone on the phone.
Just before the call was about to hang up, the call connected, and Sharon Sheridan’s voice came through.
Poe Vaughn’s eyes slightly moved, opened his lips: "Grandma, I think I made a mistake."
Sharon Sheridan’s voice remained kind and gentle, not hurried in the slightest. She waited for Poe to tell her what happened, but did not expect such a straightforward acknowledgment of his mistake to come through the phone.
Sharon Sheridan paused for a moment, then laughter filled her eyes.
"What happened? Tell Grandma, let’s see if you really made a mistake."
"Mm."
The night was quiet, it was peaceful on both Poe’s side and Sharon Sheridan’s side, the surrounding silence drowned out all other sounds, only Poe’s steady voice was heard, transmitted from his phone to Sharon Sheridan’s ear.
Listening to Poe, Sharon Sheridan did not interrupt him once, and until Poe finished speaking, the smile on her face was gone, replaced with seriousness.
"Poe, this matter today, you really did make a mistake."
"Between couples, lovers, there are things that can be said, and there are things that can’t be said."
"If you and Jean were really just in a conditional relationship with nothing extra, then perhaps it wouldn’t matter. But you like Jean, you care about her, and there are some things you simply cannot say; those are taboo."
"However, it’s also understandable. You are naturally not good with words, and given your current situation with Jean, you can’t directly express your own feelings, or you might risk scaring her away. So, I’m not very surprised that something like this happened tonight."
"Even couples need time to adjust to each other, let alone married couples?"
"You two need to adjust; the current situation is a hurdle. Fortunately, you are rational enough to recognize your shortcomings emotionally, knowing to call Grandma, which means there is still a solution to this matter."
Her grandson, whom she personally raised, Sharon Sheridan knew very well.
Since Poe had told her about what happened tonight, she immediately knew there indeed was a problem between them, just as she initially suspected.
She never expected, however, that Poe would say such threatening words to Jean—it proved he really was deeply involved, unsteady and uncertain, causing him to lose his cool.
But in matters of love and affection, one really loses composure when their feelings truly reach their heart; it’s impossible to love someone and always remain calm and rational.
In Sharon Sheridan’s view, truly loving someone, loving that person deeply, there are things that cannot be controlled.
Like tonight, Poe directly said those unkind words, making Jean cry.
It wasn’t intentional; he just cared too much, too afraid she would leave, not knowing how to express himself, leading him to use this most extreme method to say those words.
And Jean crying, reacting so emotionally, was unexpected for her.
However, this precisely proves that Jean has placed Poe in her heart, she has developed true feelings for him.
With Jean’s proud nature, she wouldn’t cry easily.
Given such a background, and having grown up stumbling on her own, Jean was no longer the little girl who could be easily bullied.
She is strong, with a hard shell that ordinarily can’t be broken, except by feelings.
And tonight, she cried because of Poe’s words, proving that Poe has already taken a place in her heart, making her unable to accept what he said.
Despite the fact that what Poe said was true, she felt sad, wronged.
Tonight’s incident seemed bad and terrible but is actually a turning point; if handled well, it will advance Poe and Jean’s relationship significantly, extremely beneficially.
If mishandled, it could bring trouble between Poe and Jean.
But, fortunately, her grandson was smart, knew to call her in time without losing his wits.
Very good.
This is something Poe did very well.
Sharon Sheridan’s face broke into a smile, she said: "Poe, you and Jean should stay in Saipan Island for now, don’t come back."
"Put aside your work matters for now, let the people below handle it. Spend the next few days by Jean’s side, don’t fly everywhere for work."
"Your top priority now is to stabilize Jean, keep the wife you managed to win; you can’t let her run away. Having a family is extremely difficult, family is more important than anything, your small family cannot fall apart."
"Then Grandma will now book a flight to come over, handle this matter personally, don’t worry, Grandma knows what to do. You just need to look after Jean before Grandma arrives."
No matter what, she had to make this trip, for Poe. What did taking such a trip matter?
She must go, to further elevate Poe and Jean’s relationship.
