The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 183 - 179

Chapter 183: Chapter 179

I totally wanted to make a U–turn and speed off, but Luna and her daughter were still in my car. I had no choice but to suck it up and drop them off at their doorstep.

"My wife is back!" Mitch, all dressed up, probably just got back from work. Seeing Luna get out of my car, he immediately rushed over to pick up Lily and enthusiastically greeted Luna.

Jones’s gaze fell on me for a few seconds before shifting away

I also deliberately avoided Jones s gaze. Once Luna and Lily got out of the car, I was ready to leave.

"Hold on!" Mitch suddenly called out to me, "Eliana, could you give Jones a lift? He didn’t bring his car and I don’t have the time to drive him."

Hearing this, Luna gave me a knowing wink.

My instinct was to refuse, but Jones looked at me again; his eyes were complex and a bit repressed.

I let out a deep sigh, "Alright. Dr. Jones, I’ll take you home"

Jones didn’t say a word. He kept his lips tight but seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He nodded at Mitch, then got into my car.

He had a scent of woman’s perfume on him today

I drove in silence, heading to Jones’s apartment. I’d been there once before and remembered the general route.

"I had a blind date today" Jones broke the silence first, "We met, had dinner, and chatted"

"That’s nice. How old is she? What does she look like?’ I casually asked

Jones didn’t answer. I couldn’t help but glance at him. He sat upright in the passenger seat, his profile expressionless.

Did I say something wrong again? Wasn’t I just showing concern for him?

Never mind, it’s probably better if I just keep quiet and drive

So I kept silent, not asking anymore about Jones’s blind date. It wasn’t until the car arrived at his apartment building that I broke the silence, "We’re here." "Wait for me. I need to take Bonny for deworming," Jones said to me in a slightly gloomy tone as he unbuckled his seat belt, "My car is in the shop for maintenance. The other cars are at home. Can you give me a ride again?"

"Sure. I’ll wait for you here" What else could I say?

While Jones went to get Bonny, I was stuck in a curious thought. Is this what it feels like to be loved by someone I don’t love?

Did that mean Damon had been dealing with this kind of trouble for the ten years I was chasing him?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was off. Why was I starting to feel sympathy for Damon? I must be going crazy

"Meow" The car door opened again. A cute meow interrupted my messy thoughts

Jones had changed his clothes. He was now in a white t–shirt and gray pants, very simple and casual. God had been kind to him, leaving almost no traces of age on his face, so as long as he changed his style a bit, he looked very young

As long as his gaze wasn’t so cold.

Bonny seemed to remember me in the cage, he kept meowing, trying to get close to me, but without success.

"Bonny is looking more handsome" I leaned in to look at the kitten, unable to suppress my compliment.

"You hold the cage I’ll drive." Jones suddenly handed the cage to me.

I didn’t know which pet store he was going to, so I switched places with him and sat in the passenger seat holding the cage, occasionally teasing Bonnie. On the way, Jones and I hardly spoke a few words

After we arrived at the pet store, I didn’t get out of the car with Jones.

"Tll call a friend to pick me up later. You can go ahead," Jones said to me from outside the car window, holding the cat cage.

"Okay. Jones, I have a favor to ask", I hesitated for a moment but decided to speak up. "Could you not tell anyone about my infertility? Please?"

Jones’s gaze deepened He asked, "Even if I don’t mind, you wouldn’t choose me, would you?"

He had a self–deprecating smile on his face. "I understand. I won’t tell anyone."

With that, he entered the pet store.

I breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little upset. If I could fall in love with Jones, it might not be bad.

I believe he would do anything for me. But it seemed I couldn’t fall in love with anyone anymore. All my capacity for love was lost in my marriage with Damon

I drove home. After some thinking, I contacted the media.

Soon, news of Damon and Ariel rekindling their old flame surfaced. As the whistleblower, I was indifferent.

Ariel probably didn’t expect me to be so kind to her, even helping her reignite her romance with Damon.

Their past story was brought up again, and people were discussing it online, eventually forming two camps.

One believed Damon accompanying Ariel to the cemetery was a sign of their reunion. They had always had a thing for each other but were separated for Two years due to some issues.

The other camp believed it signaled a potential collaboration between Coleman Co. and Horizon Enterprises. They didn’t meet because of lingering feelings but for business interests

While Damon and Ariel became a hot topic, I had already packed up and started working at my family’s company

Luna quickly organized a party to celebrate my becoming a working woman. On Friday night, as soon as I got off work, they dragged me into Cielo Nocturno.

I hadn’t been here for a drink in a long time. I drank one glass after another and soon felt tipsy. Before long, the four of us got a little drunk

"Eliana, just a heads up..." Luna suddenly leaned in and whispered in my ear, "Damon is trying to figure out who leaked the news about him and Ariel. It seems like he’s found out it was you"

"Cough, cough, cough."I almost choked. Does Damon really have that much free time?

"Why did you do that?" Luna squinted at me,

I felt a bit drunk, so I replied directly. "I just don’t want to be bothered by Damon, so I gave him something to do. What do you think of my idea?"

Luna glanced behind me, and her expression seemed a bit off. She immediately covered my mouth, "You’re drunk. That’s why you’re talking nonsense."

I was kinda pissed, so I pushed Luna’s hand away. "I’m not talking nonsense! I’m telling the truth, Hasn’t he always been all tangled up with Ariel? Then he should just keep entangling with her, not bothering me. From now on, I’ll leak his news to the media every day. If that’s not enough, I’ll spill the beans about Catherine too."

Just then, a hand reached from behind me and took my glass away

I turned around in confusion. Damon stood behind me, his face stern. His indifference stood out in stark contrast to the lively atmosphere around us

Even though Luna and the others always said Damon was a bad guy, it seemed like I was the one caught red–handed right now. For a moment, all four of us were left speechless.
