Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 725: Warmer Than Before

Watching Shane carefully place Anna on the bed, Audrey stood by the door with a gratified smile.

Shane turned around and saw his wife looking at him adoringly, "What’s with the silly smile?"

Audrey glanced at Anna on the bed, saying, "I feel like you’ve changed a bit since you became a dad."

Shane raised his eyebrows and walked up to her, quietly asking, "How have I changed?"

Audrey thought for a moment and replied, "It feels like you have more warmth than before."

Such an abstract description was something Shane didn’t quite understand about Audrey’s feelings. He just walked over, wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, and asked softly, "Has the warmth changed now?"

Audrey buried her head into his chest, wrapped her hands around him, and nodded with a smile, "Mm, especially warm."

Shane: "There’s even more warmth."

Audrey rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you were half as serious in private as you are in public, that would be enough."

Shane raised his hand and lightly tapped Audrey’s head, "How am I not serious again? What kind of things are you imagining? You always misinterpret my meaning."

Audrey released Shane from her embrace, glared at him, and walked to the bed saying, "I’ll sleep for a bit too. You can go about your business."

Shane leaned against the door, unmoving, and looked at Audrey saying, "Actually, I could sleep for a bit too."

Audrey knew he definitely wasn’t pure-minded at the moment. She took off her coat, lifted the blankets, and lay next to Anna, saying to Shane, "You sleep on the sofa outside, don’t disturb our son."

"Buzz—buzz—" Shane was about to say something when his phone rang. He glanced at it and said to Audrey, "I have a meeting soon, should end around four. Wait for me in the office when you wake up, and we can go back once the meeting is over."

Audrey nodded and only heard Shane answer his phone after he gently closed the bedroom door.

After sleeping for an hour, Audrey woke up and saw Anna was still sleeping deeply, so she snuggled into the warm blanket, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

While opening the comic app, she saw an advertisement for the milk tea she hadn’t touched for a long time.

Seeing the time was still early, with Shane’s meeting ending around four, she had enough time for her "scheme." As long as she drank it and threw the garbage into the outside bin, Shane wouldn’t find out.

So, Audrey hurriedly opened the delivery app and ordered a cup of milk tea and some snacks.

In half an hour, the delivery staff called her, asking her to pick it up at the downstairs reception desk, but Audrey didn’t feel comfortable leaving Anna alone in the room, so she asked the staff to deliver it upstairs.

Hearing the voice on the phone was a girl’s made her feel she was quite young.

Audrey, who often secretly ordered takeaway behind Shane’s back, had met many female delivery staff, so she wasn’t surprised.

It was just when she went to the elevator to receive the delivery, she found the girl in the delivery uniform looked familiar.

The girl seemed to recognize Audrey too, but not in the sense of familiarity from past meetings, more like she realized Audrey was Shane’s wife. The girl smiled shyly and asked, "... Did you order the milk tea?"

Audrey nodded, about to reply, but suddenly recalled—wasn’t she the girl who had bumped into Shane at the restaurant the other day and then angrily ran away?

Except now, she completely lacked the unreasonableness from that day.

The girl seemed busy to deliver other orders, handing Audrey the bag containing milk tea and snacks, playfully saying, "Please confirm your phone number’s last digits and remember to leave a good review, okay?"

Since the girl was working, Audrey naturally didn’t make things difficult, took the milk tea back to the office, and then checked the name of the delivery person on her phone: Hannah Sue.

She vaguely remembered when attending a gathering at the Sue Family, Seraphina Vaughn had mentioned that name to her.

But... why would the heiress of the Sue Family be delivering takeaway?

...

Hannah rode off on her little scooter, heading to the next delivery location.

The weather was cold, with drifting snow.

Though she was well-dressed, the outdoors couldn’t provide enough warmth from thick clothes.

She also wanted to be like other classmates, staying in a heated room, but with her pockets nearly empty, she had to use the weekend to work part-time to earn some money, so she could visit Evan Sutton during the winter break.

She was in her third year of high school with mounting academic pressures, unable to neglect her studies or stop earning money, thus she had to cut down her sleep time.

Every time she felt unable to persevere, just thinking of Evan Sutton would refill her energy.

Though Grace was in college, her school was in Rivia, so she went home every day. Hence, not wanting to upset herself, Hannah practically lived at school, only going home for so-called "reunion meals" during holidays when her father’s face compelled her.

Yet, actually, every return made her feel like an unwelcome addition.

Previously she felt aggrieved, but now she just wanted to work hard to change it to a living environment where she felt comfortable, no longer blindly trying to please a family that could never truly accept her.

By dusk, before six, the sky had dimmed down.

Lana Holloway arrived at the arranged restaurant for the blind date, looking around for her date and incidentally spotted Norman Sutton sitting with two or three guys at a table.

Norman’s gaze also landed on Lana, seeming less coincidental and more as if he had been waiting for her to appear.

Yet he immediately acted surprised, saying to Lana, "What are you doing following me here? Weren’t you supposed to be on a blind date tonight?"

Upon hearing Norman’s first sentence, Lana couldn’t help but roll her eyes, responding irritably, "I am on a blind date here."

Upon finishing, Lana stopped a passing staff member and asked, "Excuse me, has there been a table reserved by a gentleman with the surname Zhu?"

"Come with me over here, I’ll help you check."

Confirming the seat, Lana saw her table was quite a distance from Norman’s, although raising her head, she could see him, just unable to hear their conversation.

She deliberately chose the side of the sofa facing away from Norman, waiting for her blind date to arrive.

Norman’s gaze occasionally wandered toward Lana, also looking at the restaurant door, seemingly more eager than Lana to know what sort of man her date was.

Suddenly, a buddy next to Norman puzzledly spoke, "Hey Norman, isn’t she the girlfriend you took to watch the game last time? What’s up with this blind date business?"
