The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming-Chapter 310 - 307: Signal
"Oh no! Why can’t I send it out?"
Luna waved her phone around inside the car, eventually even getting out to find a signal.
The network signal went from a tiny bar to a complete cross.
At this moment, Norman Bennett received Luna’s message.
Luna Sutton: "Norman Bennett, your wife is having a breakdown at the mountain top."
Raymond Wood’s incessant voice buzzed in his ear, and in the next second, Norman Bennett left the office without any hesitation.
Leaving behind Raymond Wood with a bewildered face.
What... did he say wrong?
What is the boss off to do? Is the meeting still happening later?
A black car was driving on the highway, constantly making calls.
Neither the little girl’s nor Luna Sutton’s number was within service area.
So he had to call Lana.
Half an hour later, the vehicle was already driving on the road leading exclusively to Moonlake Villas when Lana finally called back.
"Sir, the lady has returned; she seems fine, but looks a bit troubled."
"Okay, I’m almost there."
As he hung up, Luna’s messages continued popping up.
Luna Sutton: "Not speaking, not responding."
Luna Sutton: "This damned network! Dammit!"
...
Luna Sutton deleted a message.
Luna Sutton deleted a message.
...
Upon reaching the villa, Norman Bennett could no longer care about anything else and headed straight to the second floor.
Opening the door, he saw Luna Sutton animatedly talking to his little girl, but she was just staring blankly.
No emotion, as if completely dazed.
The sound of the door opening captured the attention of both inside; Luna paused, quickly retracting her hands, and said, "Norman Bennett, you’re back!"
"Out!"
The man’s face was icy, his voice carrying a commanding aura.
Luna instantly looked unhappy, but dared not linger, muttering under her breath as she left the room.
"You’re back." Seeing the man approaching, Elliana Lyle spoke first. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Her gentle tone was mixed with grievance, her voice even trembling imperceptibly.
He could hear it, and he could see it.
He had seen her happy, seen her cry, seen her silent and sad.
But he had never seen her so aggrieved.
He squatted in front of her, sternly said, "Tell me, what happened?"
"..." Elliana didn’t speak, just looked at the man before her, What should she say? What could she say?
Seeing Norman Bennett’s worried, pained, and angry eyes, she felt overwhelmed, tears like a floodgate about to open.
She knew Norman Bennett was worried about her current state, pained by her appearance, and angry that she’d ended up like this.
Ultimately, she wasn’t sure if she should feel aggrieved.
She didn’t want to be considered a nuisance by others, she felt she wasn’t one.
"Honey, tell me." The man’s tone softened, losing its earlier sternness.
"I... I don’t know." The little girl muttered softly, looking down anxiously at her hands.
Her tightly clasped hands became restless.
He gently clasped those restless hands, looking at her seriously, said, "I’m here, look at me, here you can say anything."
"I’m fine, really, I’m fine... nothing’s wrong." For some reason, Elliana Lyle just wanted to avoid Norman Bennett’s gaze, and wanted to pull her hands away.
But he held on too tightly, she couldn’t even evade his gaze.
