A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 159

A moment later, Audrey did not hear Alex's reply and just stared at him.

"Mr. Huntley, I was asking you."

"What ... What did you say?"

"The case and the male lead of it. Do you think the man is worse than animals?" Audrey asked with a lovely smile.

But looking at Audrey's smile, for some reason, Alex felt it horrible.

He swallowed and looked at Audrey awkwardly.

"Yes ... he's..." Alex felt it hard to say it out fully. If he said the following words out, then he was cursing himself as an animal.

At this time, the waiter knocked at the door to serve them food, which relieved Alex's embarrassment.

Alex hurriedly stood up as if he met his saver. He pushed the cup in front of Audrey aside so that the waiter could put the dish in front of Audrey.

"Ms. Elliana, the steak in this restaurant is very delicious. You should have a try." Alex took the opportunity to change the topic, "I ate it once before. I think it's good, so I want to recommend it to you."

Audrey raised her eyebrows slightly.

She did not bring his trick to light.

"Alright!" Alex felt relieved.

Fortunately, the waiter came in on time. Otherwise, he didn't know how to continue their conversation with that topic just now.

Alex was depressed. He wondered how Audrey could take such a case coincidentally. When Audrey mentioned the case just now, he almost thought that she was talking about him. But Audrey didn't know him. How could she know what he had done?

If she knew, she wouldn't agree to meet him.

So, all of this should be just a coincidence.

Audrey cut a piece of beef and tasted it.

"It tastes good." She thought Alex was indeed a foodie, for the steak was the most delicious one she had ever tried.

Alex looked at her happily.

"It does." Alex cut a piece of beef on his plate and put it on Audrey's plate, "Ms. Elliana, this beef has another favor. Why don't you taste it?"

Audrey looked at the beef given by Alex and frowned without being noticed.

She felt it was disgusting, but she kept smiling.

"Mr. Huntley, I'm sorry. I don't like black pepper, so..."

Alex's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly put the beef back to his plate.

"I'm sorry, I don't know you don't like black pepper. I just..." Alex panicked and wanted to explain something.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Huntley. You don't have to blame yourself. We just met each other. It's normal that you don't know what I like."

Alex looked at Audrey seriously and said word by word, "Ms. Elliana, don't worry. I will remember your preferences from now on and won't make the same mistake again."

Audrey curled her lips.

She cut another piece of beef and ate it.

"Oh yes, Mr. Huntley, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

Audrey looked at Alex with an innocent smile, "I wonder have you ever been in a relationship."

Alex's eyes lit up.

Alex put down the knife and fork awkwardly. He looked a bit shy.

"To be honest, I never fell in love with other girls before I met you. So I never had a relationship with any girl."

Audrey was speechless.

It was so hypocritical.

If Audrey hadn't seen Alex push her girlfriend to the ground, causing her girlfriend to miscarry, she would have believed his performance.

His acting skill was worth an Academy Award.

Audrey looked at him in surprise.

"Really? You are a kind and handsome man. You must have many suitors, do you?"

Alex looked at Audrey affectionately, "I do have many suitors, but I never met a girl that I love until ... I saw you..."

After saying that, Alex couldn't help but reach out, wanting to hold Audrey's hand on the table.

When Audrey saw Alex's hand reaching out, she knew what Alex wanted to do. So she moved her hand away naturally to avoid being touched.

Alex's hand rested on the table. Finally, he could only take his hand back awkwardly.

Alex continued to win Audrey's heart, "I have fallen deeply in love with you. I swear. If you are willing to be with me, I will be good to you. I won't let anything bad happen to you."

Audrey chuckled in her heart.

Alex said he wouldn't let anything bad happen to his woman. But in fact, he pushed his pregnant girlfriend to the ground and made her have an abortion.

Of course, Audrey wouldn't say it out.

"I'm flattered." Audrey smiled.

Alex thought Audrey was touched by him and got delighted, "Ms. Elliana, I'm not flattering you. I just love you too much and I mean it. I hope you can give me a chance to take care of you, protect you, and stay by your side forever."

Wow, what wonderful rhetoric.

If an ordinary girl heard Alex's words, she would have said yes immediately.

Audrey smiled and said, "Do you mean it?"

"Of course. Ms. Elliana, it's true. I'm not lying to you. I promise."

...

Audrey pretended to be surprised.

"Mr. Huntley, I'd like to make things clear. If you say that, I will take it seriously."

Alex sat straight and looked at Audrey sincerely.

"Ms. Elliana, I'm serious. You can believe me. As long as you're willing to be with me, I'll prove my words with actions."

Just as Audrey was about to lower her head to eat, she suddenly cried out in surprise.

Alex looked at Audrey worriedly.

"Ms. Elliana, what happened?"

Audrey said anxiously, "My key chain is missing. It was given by my brother."

Alex also got nervous.

"Where did you lose it?"

"I don't know. It was still with me when I entered the cafe. I just went upstairs to get here. Maybe ... I left it on the stairs."

Alex stood up.

"Ms. Elliana, I'll go to the stairwell and take a look. You just sit here and wait for me."

"OK."
