Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 478 I’m Not Used to Women Getting Close…
He turned and left the balcony, walking back inside.
He found his suit jacket on the nightstand, slowly put it on, and stood there in his black attire, exuding an aura of bleakness and coldness.
Then, seeing the phone on the nightstand, Adrian picked it up and skillfully dialed Locke’s cell phone.
Once the call connected, Adrian spoke coldly, "Come to Europe and pick me up immediately!"
After saying this, he hung up the phone without giving Locke time to respond.
At the time he received the call, Locke had just dropped Daniel off in Whitehill to meet with Benjamin Parker.
He was preparing to send someone to look for Adrian but hadn’t had time to act when he received a call from an unknown number.
Soon after, he heard the voice of Adrian on the line.
However, there was only that one line before the call was disconnected...
Hearing Adrian’s voice, Locke was completely stunned.
What did he just hear?
The Boss asked him to go to Europe to pick him up?
Was it really the Boss calling him?
Or was it just his imagination?
"Boss, is that really you?" Locke asked, trembling, only to realize the call had already been disconnected at some point.
Upon hearing Locke’s words, Ned Faris immediately gathered around, excitedly asking, "Locke, what did you just say? Who called you?"
Locke looked at Ned Faris, desperately wanting to say that the Boss had called him.
But the call had already been disconnected, and he had only heard that one line. At the moment, he couldn’t be sure whether the phrase "Come to Europe and pick me up immediately!" had really been said by the Boss or was just a hallucination.
He stared blankly at the phone; the number was indeed from Europe.
Seeing Locke not speaking, Ned Faris anxiously asked again, "Locke, speak up! Who exactly called you? Why did I hear you say it was the Boss?"
Locke looked at Ned Faris, "I got a call, it sounded like the Boss, telling me to go to Europe immediately to pick him up, but..."
"But what, exactly? If the Boss isn’t dead and he’s in Europe, then we should go pick him up now!" Ned Faris interrupted Locke, speaking quickly and happily.
Locke looked at Ned Faris, patiently continuing, "But he only said that one line. Do you think it’s really the Boss? Isn’t it possible that it was just a hallucination from my end?"
Hearing Locke say this, Ned Faris also became uncertain, but soon he thought of something and looked at Locke anxiously, saying, "Don’t you have the number on your phone? Just call back and you’ll know!"
Locke then realized, "Oh, how could I forget!"
With that, he immediately redialed the number.
The phone rang only once before it was picked up.
Then, Adrian’s distinctly cold voice sounded, "Speak!"
Hearing those cold words, Locke finally confirmed a fact: the Boss really wasn’t dead, and he was indeed in Europe.
Locke was extremely excited, genuinely happy as he said, "Boss, it’s so great that you’re alright!"
After that, he continued to excitedly ask, "Boss, where are you? Where should I come to pick you up?"
...
Locke and Ned Faris immediately headed to Europe.
Bella Sutton saw them approaching and immediately walked over, "Locke, Ned, why are you here?"
Ned Faris kept a cold face and didn’t speak.
Locke looked at Bella Sutton, responding coldly, "The Boss called us to come and pick him up."
Bella Sutton: "..."
No wonder Locke and Ned would come; it turned out it was his call.
He had just woken up, and he was already in such a hurry to leave?
But so what if he leaves?
This rare three months, how could she possibly miss it!
Locke looked at Bella Sutton and asked, "Miss Sutton, can you tell us where our Boss is now?"
Hearing Locke’s question, Bella Sutton quickly said, "Oh, he’s inside recovering from his injuries."
She then maintained her princessly elegance and grace, continuing slowly, "I rescued Adrian by the seaside. At the time, his injuries were severe, I was solely focused on his wounds, and inadvertently forgot to notify you."
Locke politely smiled, "It’s alright."
He then looked at Bella Sutton and sincerely thanked her, "Thank you for saving our Boss, Princess Nine."
"Mm." Bella Sutton casually accepted Locke’s thanks, then looked at Locke and Ned Faris and instructed, "Adrian was seriously injured this time. When I found him, he was practically at death’s door. Although his life has been preserved, his body hasn’t recovered. Moreover, he has lost part of his memory, so it’s best not to provoke him, just in case..."
The seriousness of Adrian’s injuries wasn’t something Locke and Ned Faris were unaware of.
They had been by Adrian’s side the whole time.
They had witnessed Adrian being stabbed in the abdomen by Melody Parker, yet still fighting fiercely against William Glover despite his wounds, relentlessly pursuing Virgil Davies’s whereabouts.
Furthermore, they had seen Melody Parker with a gun, using a knife against Adrian, and cruelly pushing him off a thousand-foot cliff.
Locke looked at Bella Sutton, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Miss Sutton."
"No need to thank me, it’s what I should do." Bella Sutton gracefully smiled, looking at Locke and Ned Faris, declaring like a hostess, "Come, I’ll take you to see Adrian."
With that, Bella Sutton led the way, bringing Locke and Ned Faris into the room where Adrian was staying.
As soon as they entered, Bella Sutton looked at the man in black and said softly with a smile, "Adrian, Locke and Ned Faris are here to take you back."
Adrian nodded lightly, "Hmm."
Seeing Adrian in person, Locke and Ned Faris were emotionally moved, "Boss."
"Hmm." Adrian nodded lightly, his cold eyes looking at them, "Let’s go."
With that, he stepped forward to leave.
Seeing Adrian’s unsteady walk, Locke immediately stepped forward, "Boss, I..."
"I’m not so weak that I can’t walk." Adrian cut him off coldly.
"Yes, Boss." Locke dared not say more, following behind Adrian.
Ned Faris wisely followed behind Adrian as well.
Bella Sutton looked at Adrian, "Adrian, are you leaving already?"
Adrian’s steps didn’t falter, coldly giving a sound of agreement.
Bella Sutton watched Adrian’s departing figure and spoke with concern and attentiveness, "Adrian, you’re still not fully recovered, you need someone to take care of you. How about I go and take care of you?"
Afraid that Adrian would directly refuse, Bella Sutton quickly added, "After all, I was the one who rescued you, I’m more familiar with your injuries, and I’ve been caring for you for several days now, so I’m more competent than those servants at your villa."
But even so, Adrian still refused.
He stopped his steps, turned to look at Bella Sutton, and spoke coldly, "Bella, you know I don’t like women getting too close, so there’s no need."
