The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming-Chapter 304 - 301: Staring

Night falls...

The moon hangs cold and bright, a crescent in the sky midst countless stars, the clouds clear for miles, with the occasional call of a mountain bird.

Elliana Lyle sits on a small tatami sofa on the balcony, dressed in a white camisole dress after her bath, the soft fabric of the hem gently swaying in the breeze.

Her bare feet touch the cold marble floor, appearing white with a hint of rosy blush.

She doesn’t remember how she got back to the bed in her room, only that Lana came, likely after getting a call from Norman Bennett.

She shut herself in her room, alone on the balcony, feeling chilled by the wind.

This is better, at least her body feels cold while her heart feels much lighter.

Her greatest concern is for her grandmother and Shasha.

However.

She is powerless to help either.

It seems she’s become the most useless person in the world, her heart starting to feel lost.

She wants to find a "path to life" in the fog, even if it’s just a beam of light.

She just made a call to Luna, who said she would come see her before leaving, because once back in XRB, it wouldn’t be so easy to return.

The flight is at midnight tonight, arriving tomorrow morning.

She doesn’t want Luna to take risks for her, even though it has always been a business relationship.

But she has to admit, she considers Luna a friend, a true friend.

She remembers when they first met, Luna was a cold person, "eyes on the money," a little greedy, and very proud.

She doesn’t know when they became friends.

Today, she was supposed to watch the actors’ screen tests, but didn’t feel up to it. Victor King hasn’t called her again.

Norman Bennett also texted her saying not to worry, that he would even personally handle matters with Lily Clarke.

He doesn’t ask for reasons, just knows she wants it, so he does it.

A "blissful" trust in her.

So she found time to enjoy the peaceful night here.

Just the occasional call of an owl, like a kid laughing "hohoho," sent chills down her spine.

At first, the little flower was in her arms, but because of the blowing wind, it ran inside and fell asleep under her fuzzy slippers.

The new little companion slept next to the little flower, a tabby cat with white neck and chest, its four little paws like they’ve played in the snow.

Resting one hand on half her face, she watches the two kittens sleeping soundly inside.

If only... she could become a cat too.

Doing nothing all day but sleeping, and when hungry, eating and drinking, then going back to sleep.

But she’s ultimately human, with many burdens to bear.

This is good too.

Pikachu♪~

The noisy ringtone of her phone erupted, she didn’t feel like answering, furrowing her brows.

The two kittens inside also awoke, staring with their round eyes straight at her.

When the ringing stopped, it felt as though the world fell silent, but not a moment later, it started again.

She reluctantly picked up the phone from the floor beside her, seeing the flashing name Luna, answered the call.

"Buddy, what are you doing?" Luna’s familiar chattering, like firecrackers going off.

She frowned and asked, "Where are you? Why so noisy?"

"Grilling skewers, damn it! It got flooded!" followed by a surprised exclamation.

Elliana: "..." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Lazily, she sighed and asked, "Then why are you calling?"

"Just looking around, and whoosh, got a scare. Why did you go to the hospital today? Did you get hurt or fall sick?"

"Nothing, just went to see my grandmother."

Luna said, "Alright then, go to bed early. Pick me up with that big group of bodyguards tomorrow morning, let me enjoy the spotlight once."

At this moment, the sound of a car in the distance caught her attention.

"Okay, sure." She replied perfunctorily before hanging up.

Gazing intently at the gate.
