Chapter 307: Being Ignored

"Good morning, my beautiful wife."

Rose was surprised to hear Evan’s voice near her ear as soon as she opened her eyes. She tilted her head towards the voice.

"H-Hi, good morning..." Rose’s hoarse voice sounded low. "What time were you home?" Rose turned to face the shirtless Evan. When their eyes locked with each other, somehow she felt melted.

This man never fails to warm her heart, even with just a simple loving gaze. Her heartbeat beats faster as his hand begins to caress her cheek.

"I arrived after midnight. And I found you asleep on your desk. You looked so tired in your sleep. And that makes me worry." Evan took a deep breath as he looked into her hazel eyes, which looked surprised. He continued, "My wife, in this house, only your husband needs to work hard, not you. You don’t need to push yourself too hard. I promise you that I will provide everything you need...."

Rose felt happy hearing his words. Yet she tried to avoid his loving gaze. And just then when she realized that her clothes were different from what she remembered, she was now wearing her nightgown.

"Did you change my clothes while I was sleeping?"

"Yes, I did..."

Rose’s face reddened at the thought of Evan taking off her clothes. Starting from her blouse, and pants, then her u-n-d-e-r-w-e-a-r-s.

Her heartbeat raced.

D-Did Evan do anything other than change her clothes?

"Oh my God! Rose, what do you think?" She scolded herself as her sultry thoughts tried to fill her mind again.

Rose cleared her throat, throwing away what was on her mind. "Hubby, why are you working so late?" She looked into his eyes again.

"I had important business in another city, so I flew there..."

"Ah, no wonder it was difficult for me to contact you."

"What about you? Why did you fall asleep in your study?"

"I don’t remember. All I remember... I was reading the office files. Weird. Why did I end up sleeping there?" Rose answered casually. There was no way she could tell Evan what she did last night, right?

Not wanting to bring up the matter, Rose changed the subject. "Hubby, why didn’t you wake me up last night?" She felt sorry for Evan, who had to take care of her as he got home.

Hearing her dishonest answer somehow made him a little sad.

Why is she hiding something? This was the most immense curiosity he wanted to know. What he discovered last night still bothers him. He wanted to ask her a lot of things. But, he would put it aside for now. He would wait until she was honest with him.

"You look so tired that I didn’t wake you up," Evan answered. Rose could only nod slowly. Last night she seemed tired.

"Which city did you visit yesterday? I called you several times, but your cell phone is unreachable."

"I’m flying to Nova city. Looks like when you called, I was on a plane."

Rose is shocked.

Did Evan go to Nova city because his company was affected by yesterday’s bombing?

This worried Rose so much. She increasingly wanted to help the authorities by giving her father or Sean, the future information she knew from her previous life. But she still didn’t know how to talk about this to them.

They’ll surely think she’s crazy, right?

Or maybe they will be suspicious of her having links with terrorists. Gosh! Thinking of all this made her head feel dizzy.

"Ah, no wonder... I can’t..." before Rose could finish her words, she could feel her body being hugged tightly. And later, she heard his voice close to her ear,

"I’m so sorry, wife."

"Why, Why did you say sorry?" Rose looked up to see his face. They just stared at each other for a moment without saying any words.

After some time, "Because I didn’t keep my promise." Evan said quietly.

Rose’s heart suddenly felt warm when she heard his sincere apology.

While at the same time...

Gavin and Oscar were in the car heading for Misty Mountain.

"Gavin ma bro... I’m so excited. Finally, I’m going to meet Lady Boss." Sitting in the car heading towards Evan and Rose’s house, Oscar couldn’t hide his excitement.

"Yeah, I know. You’ve said that... a hundred times." Gavin chuckled. "Why do you feel so happy to meet her?" Gavin found it strange to see Oscar acting like a teenager about to meet his idol.

"Well, you know... I’m amazed by Lady Boss, who can tame our big icy Boss. And I’m curious to see her in person. She must be very charming and beautiful, right?"

"Our Lady Boss is a goddess... apart from her beautiful face, her heart is also beautiful. She is very kind. But be careful. Don’t get too close to her even if she’s nice to you."

"Why? Why did you forbid me?" Oscar was confused by Gavin’s words.

Gavin chuckled. "You’ll find out later..."

"What? Can you just spit it out? Damn it! Why are you making me curious like this?"

"If you want to know the answer, you can try...." Gavin smiled while ignoring Oscar’s curious gaze. Though the streets were empty, he refocused on driving the car to Misty Mountain.

It wasn’t long before they arrived.

"Did we arrive early?" asked Oscar.

"No. Big Boss always has breakfast at 7 am. Let’s go. They’re probably having breakfast..." Gavin led the way to the house, but he was surprised to see the room still empty.

At the same time, Paul Martin entered the living room. He had been waiting for their arrival.

"Mr. Riddle, Mr. Jennings, welcome...." Paul politely greeted them. "Young Master has just woken up. You can wait a bit." He said and went back inside, leaving Gavin and Oscar.

Gavin was silent. This was the first time he heard his Boss overslept. Usually, he is very disciplined with time.

"Damn, Gavin! I told you, we’re too early...." Oscar protested while sitting on the sofa. Gavin didn’t answer Oscar immediately but tried to analyze why his Boss woke up so late.

"Did Lady Boss ignore him for coming home late last night?" Gavin muttered, but Oscar, sitting not far from him, heard his words.

"Ignored? Who?" asked Oscar curiously.
