The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 220

October looked at Elise who was looking at her phone. There was no doubt that she had saw her with red cheeks just a moment ago. But now, her complexion had suddenly turned pale as if all the blood in her was drained out of her.

Her gaze then passed by Elise and into the people in the restaurant. Be it the female customers sitting in their own tables or the employees, all had their gazes fixed on a certain someone who seemed to not be affected by those people’s stares directed at him.

October was confused again. ‘Why are their cheeks slightly pink and looked shyly toward our direction?’

Why exactly? October wondered. She turned to Lexus suspiciously only to see him looking nonchalant about everything and seemed cool but as soon as she turned to look at him, his face lightened up and a small smile appeared on his usually cold face.

His eyes shimmered like dark skies littered beautifully with stars. It was a fascinating look. But she heard a small squeal, one of that squeals as if a person saw his or her idol.

Her eyes then sharply turned toward the direction she had just heard that and there, she saw a girl looking at Lexus with an emotion she was familiar with. She had seen this kind of look from the girls that was crazy about that ‘man’ from the past.

‘Wait. Why am I remembering that man again?’

October slightly shook her head, trying to erase that kind of memory from her mind. That was already from the past. Right now, she has someone she had accepted and loved.

‘That’s right. The man that I am feeling this kind of love that I never knew I was capable to give was this man sitting next to me.’

“What are you thinking?” Lexus asked curiously when he saw her showing different kinds of emotions in her eyes. Every change of it was clear to him and nothing will turn unnoticed to him when it comes to his wife.

October slightly smiled. Her smile was also small, almost unnoticeable, but it had took Lexus’ breath away. He was caught off guard that he found himself in a daze while just staring at her gorgeous face.

“Don’t smile.” She said. ‘Yes, don’t smile in front of other people. Only smile in front of me.’

Lexus raised his brow at this. Why did his wife told him not to smile? Was it so ugly to see that she has to say that to him so plainly like this?

“Why?” He asked, somehow feeling lost.

“Your smile only belongs to me.” Her voice was firm and serious. It sounded overbearing.

“Okay.” Lexus nodded his head as his smile so dazzling slowly graced his face. But before his smile could be seen to other, October instantly covered his lips with her hands.

Then, her eyes squinted dangerously with a hint of annoyance, “I just told you not to smile.”

Lexus wanted to not smile but his wife was just too cute being like this. It was really not his fault to feel so elated like this, you know.

“Oh. Why did she cover his face?!”

“I want to see his smile again~! It was too beautiful that I could not stop myself from looking.”

“Yes. Why is she doing that? It’s pissing me off.”

“Take your hands off of him, lady. I want to feast my eyes with his looks.”

A lot of audible complaints started to erupt in the restaurant, much to the surprise of the employees. This was an elegant and peaceful restaurant with a solemn ambiance in it. But now, why has the usually composed customers became this rowdy this time?!

“What? What the heck are they talking about?” Elise was startled because of these sudden complaints. She scanned the raging crowd and all were looking at their direction. More specifically, at Lexus.

Elise was bewildered. She looked at the direction they were looking and saw October covering Lexus’ mouth. One had a dark look while the other had a look of amus.e.m.e.nt as if he was enjoying this.

‘What is happening? Seriously!’

“Can you tell me why?” Lexus asked, his mouth still covered by her hands which made his voice muffled.

October thought for a moment before answering, “Just because.”

“Don’t you think you two should take a room?” Elise joked but her voice was not even heard because of the bustling in the restaurant.

Lexus was starting to get irritated by the buzzing surrounding them. It was so noisy that he could not concentrate to look at his wife properly.

With eyes dark and dripped with venom, his dark blue eyes scanned the crowd slowly. He released a pressure so heavy and suffocating. It only took seconds before the restaurant was covered with this heavy pressure.

The crowd fell silent. Even though it was just for a moment that his eyes connected with theirs, but it was enough to make their words of complaints to be stuck in their throats and be swallowed with great difficulty back to their stomach.

Those who was voicing out their complaints had their backs drenched with cold sweats.

That look was not at all angelic! That was a devil ah! A devil.

The restaurant became silent that even breathing became really difficult. Their heads were lowered and reduced their presences as much as they can in order to not attract the devil’s eyes.

Just the thought of having those piercingly cold and ruthless eyes resting on their being, their bodies shook visibly.

“D-dear customers, we prepared a private room for you. It would be our honor to serve you better.” The waitress who was the one that took October’s orders said. Her smile was stiff, and her face was covered by sweat and pale. “Also, this is in the house.”

“Is that so?” October was puzzled by this. If she knew that there was a private room here, she would have choose that since the beginning.

But who would have thought that they would cause such commotion in the restaurant that made it difficult for the employees to handle the situation?

“Yes.” The waitress immediately nodded. She wished that the customers before her would not give her anymore trouble and would accept their offer.

“Is that okay with you, Elise?” October turned to Elise who she had forgotten for a moment and asked this.

The corner of Elise’s lips twitched. She had just witnessed the intimate actions of the couple, not caring about the fact that she was sitting across them.

“Yes, I think that would be for the best too.”

“Then please follow me here.” The waitress heaved a sigh of relief and a genuine smile showed on her still nervous face. He gestured for them to follow her.

It did not take long before October and her companions settled in the private room that the restaurant had offered for them to use. It was also followed by their food.

“Please enjoys, madams, master.” The waitress said sincerely before closing the door.

Elise was the one who kept on talking. From the gossips to fashion. She was always the one who keeps on making the conversation between October and her flowing.

“I’m going to the restroom. Excuse me.” October said to both of them before standing up to leave.

Lexus also stood up, planning to follow her out, only to be stopped by October.

“It’s okay. I will not take long.” She said and closed the door behind her.

“…” Both Elise and Lexus were silent. Elise was fidgeting while casting quick and shy glances at Lexus but the later only gave her a cold shoulder.

After a few minutes of being silent, Elise could no longer take it anymore as she opened her mouth.

“Master Song, drink some wine. This is really good. It’s not that strong but the aroma of it is mildly sweet.” Elise got the wine to pour it on the glass wine. After that, she also poured herself one before handing the other glass to Lexus. But…

*Clink*

Elise’s movements were to rash that she had accidentally knocked her glass of wine making her hand to tilt and splash the wine into Lexus��� suit.

“Oh no! I’m so sorry.” Elise instantly paled and panicked. Her was so rattled that she pulled a lot of tissue before standing up to help Lexus wipe the stain on his suit. Her face was filled with worry and anxiety. She was also scared.

Her upper body leaned forward with her bountiful c.h.e.s.t in front of Lexus. Her face was also quite close with Lexus’ face.

“Stop.” Lexus was so startled by what happened and fury rose in him. And now this woman was getting too close to him which only made his even more angry. He caught her wrist with his hand and pushed her away from him.

Suddenly, a chill run down his spine. Lexus snapped his head toward the opened door to see October standing there with glowering eyes.
