A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 58

Before Raye replied, his phone rang.

Lance glanced at the name displayed on Raye's phone and signaled to him to answer.

Raye respectfully picked up the phone.

"Hello, madam."

Raye looked at Lance and said, "Mr. Lance is here."

Raye handed the phone to Lance and said, "Lance, it's your wife. She said that she called you but she couldn't get through, so she called me."

Lance impatiently picked up the phone.

"Hey, it's me."

Desiree spoke in a usual soft voice.

"Lance, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you miss me?"

Lance leaned against the back of the sofa and sneered, "When you asked me if I missed you, was your man by your side?"

"Don't be like this, Lance. After all, we are a legitimate couple. Please don't mention other men, okay?" Desiree said with a smile.

"Damn! When you married me, you had been pregnant with a child. Had you felt shame at the time?"

"I'm glad to hear that you are jealous of other men."

Lance unbuttoned his collar irritably.

"If you have something to say, just go ahead. Don't disgust me like this." Lance said coldly.

Desiree became alert, "Lance, did you get yourself a girl?"

"It's none of your business?" Lance said coldly, "Besides, you don't have the right to ask me this question, do you?"

"Who is that girl?" Desiree suddenly questioned.

"I'll tell you when I find out who she is!"

Desiree heaved a sigh of relief and her voice became soft.

"Lance, I know you. It's impossible for you to fall in love with another woman. The person you love is me!"

"Anything else?"

"Oh, that case of my brother's company. It's said that the defendant hired a lawyer that is quite capable."

Lance said impatiently.

"If it's that case, I agree. If you have nothing to say, you can hang up."

"It is very kind of you. Wait for me. I'll be back in Pine City in a few days. I'll bring you a present."

Before Desiree could finish, Lance hung up the phone and threw it to Raye.

"Raye, keep an eye on Kadin's case."

"Yes!"

Raye looked at Lance sympathetically.

Back then, Lance liked Desiree a lot. Although Desiree did not like him, Lance still married Desiree. Desiree fainted on the wedding night and was sent to the hospital to find out that Desiree was 11 weeks pregnant.

Only then did Lance know that Desiree had been with another man. Marrying Lance was merely an expedient. Lance wanted to kill that man, but Desiree stopped Lance and miscarried at that time. Lance let the man go as he really liked Desiree and did not want to hurt her again. Desiree knew that Lance would not do anything to her, so she even gave up pretending and got back with that man abroad.

Although Desiree repeatedly challenged Lance's bottom line, Lance gave her what she wanted.

Perhaps the woman Lance met on Wisteria Avenue would be a turning point.

...

The next morning, Audrey went to the pet hospital to find out about the case. As she had expected, the people in the pet hospital shirked their responsibilities and repeatedly declared that they did nothing wrong.

Audrey couldn't find any clues in the pet hospital, so she sent the coordinate of the hospital to Nataly, asking her to check the video at the time.

It was almost noon when Audrey came out of the pet hospital. She was going to a restaurant nearby for lunch.

She was about to cross the road and stopped at a red light. A boy at the age of 5 or 6 next to her carried a pet dog and crossed the road regardless of the red light.

The cars on the road travelled fast. A driver was making a phone call. Because it was a green light, he did not pay attention to the road condition. The car did not slow down and directly rushed towards the intersection.

Seeing that the little boy was about to be hit by the car, Audrey quickly rushed forward and pulled the little boy and the pet dog in his arms to the side of the road. Due to inertia, she and the little boy fell to the ground.

When the driver saw that he had almost hit the little boy, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped on the brakes. The sound was extremely ear-piercing.

The little boy trembled in fear in Audrey's arms when he saw the car brush past him and almost crash into him.

Audrey stood up and helped the little boy to his feet. She said seriously, "Before you cross the road, you must see the traffic lights. Stop at the red light and go at the green light. Do you understand?"

"I see."

The little boy's parents ran over in panic.

They stood not far away and witnessed this shocking scene.

They pulled the child into their arms for examination and confirmed that the child was fine. They looked at Audrey gratefully.

"Thank you so much. Without you, our son would..."

Audrey waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. But as parents, you have to take good care of your child. How can you let such a young child cross the street with a pet alone?"

"It was our negligence. Thank you!" They also asked their son to thank Audrey.

"Thank you, Miss!" The little boy looked at Audrey and thanked her.

"So cute!"

"Darling, we have to go. Say goodbye to the kind lady."

"Goodbye, Miss!"

"See you later!"

When the little boy left, Audrey frowned. She touched her shoulder and felt a sharp pain.

It was caused by hitting the ground.

She was in pain till she returned to the hotel at night.

She entered the hotel and went upstairs. Before she opened her room, the door on the opposite side was opened. Bryson walked out.

Audrey was much calmer when she saw Bryson.

"Why are you back so late?"

Audrey was looking for the room card in her bag and said, "Oh, I went to some places to look for evidence."

"I told you not to take this case."

Audrey didn't say anything.

He told her not to take the case, but she didn't say yes.

Audrey was about to open the door and enter when Bryson reached out to grab her arm.

The arm he held was injured. Audrey suddenly felt a pain and frowned, "Ouch!"

Bryson suddenly put on a serious face, "What happened to your arm?"
