The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 260

“Oh my.” Josh was pleasantly surprised about this. He did not expect this at all. A woman dressed as a man? How very intriguing.

“Yes.” October did not say further about Ma Rong but noticed Josh’s clear curiosity about her. But she did not think much about it. The only thing she wanted to do after this was to call Ma Rong and get an explanation from her.

‘Why keep me in the dark? Is she worried? About what? Embarrassed? That’s unlikely.’ Whatever reason it was, Ma Rong was the only one who can tell her.

“Anyway, that’s not what I am here for. Are they ready?”

Josh bitterly laughed. He thought that October really was a person who does not show her emotions on her face. Although there was slight flickering on her eyes, that was it. The only person who can put some color on her was Lexus.

“Yes, darling.” Josh confidently said with flick of his nonexistent long hair. There was even a hint of haughtiness in his face. This just showed how much pride he has with the clothes he makes. “That much was just a small piece of cake to me. Also, I added some dresses for you to wear. And don’t worry about it, darling, it’s on the house.”

After saying this, Josh sent October a wink. It appeared very coquettish, suggestive. If people don’t know Josh well, it would appear that he was sending signals to October.

‘Boss, you are not here so I can play for a little bit, right?’ Josh wanted to tease October to see any reaction from her but to no avail. Even a tilt of her head or a slight twitch of her brow or mouth, there was nothing at all. Nada!

“Thank you, Josh.” October nodded her head and stood up, back as straight as it can be. “Just send it to the residence.”

Josh did not expect that October would immediately leave. Did she just drop by to ask about her office clothes? Wouldn’t that be too random? He looked on and followed October out to see her off with a playful smile on his masculine face.

After that, he turned to the ladies behind him and instructed them to get all of the things ready to be delivered at the Song residence.

“Yes.” They simultaneously said before fixing all the things and packing in bags and boxes. Their movements were smooth and fluid, no extra actions were wasted, making it obvious at how used they were at this kind of work. It did not take half an hour before all of the things are ready and be delivered to the residence.

It was already night when Lexus got home from work. His windbreaker flapping at his every move at the same rhythm as the cl.i.c.k.i.n.g of his shoes on the stone-cold pavement toward the front door of his mansion.

His eyes were clouded, unfocused. He was thinking about how to deal with all of things and tell October about it. He was unsure of her answer but there could be a possibility that his suggestion would be rejected almost the instant he finished what he was saying, just like the last time.

Feeling helpless, he let out a sigh and continued his way toward the now opened door of the mansion. He, however, did not notice that someone was there to welcome him.

“Welcome home…hubby.” October was reluctant in calling him this. But there was nothing she could do but to act sweet in front of her husband. She knew all too well that she made a mistake and let herself be in danger and let him worried. This was her fault and there were no valid excuses she could say. Hence, this action of “sweet-talking” her husband.

“…” Lexus looked up and immediately slammed his piercing blue eyes that glowed in the dark night and squinting at October. He pursed his lips and his whole body that was even colder than before because of the evening breeze were bow shrouded in an even more cold aura that swept the whole surrounding, almost freezing it.

His every step was so resounding and calculated as he never bats his eyes, not wasting a millisecond of time on staring at his gorgeous wife who was wearing her comfy home clothes.

He stopped a foot away from October and both stared at each other. It took them a minute that seemed like an hour before the silence was broken.

“How are you?” Lexus’ quiet voice that was cold as ice yet warm with deep and thick emotion was heard. His eyes was undeniably warm but October saw the worry and frustration in his eyes. There were even tiredness at its corners.

This sight was making October’s heart to jolt in pain. No, that just jolt. It was squeezed in pain. She knew that what happened to her really made Lexus worried sick.

In the next second, October embraced Lexus’ thin and masculine waist and burrowed her guilt-filled face into his reassuring c.h.e.s.t. She can feel the coldness radiating off of his body. She tightened her hold of him and she hooked her hands together.

“I’m sorry.” She said but her voice was muffled.

Lexus heard the muffled voice of October in his c.h.e.s.t. He was upset but he could not make himself be so hard on her and scold her too much. He just could not make himself cold to her that long.

‘My wife really is so cunning. She can influence me so much.’ He thought to himself with a bitter smile on his lips. He raised his hand and run his fingers through her silky hair. It was also at this time that October peeled her face off of his c.h.e.s.t and craned her neck to look at Lexus in the eyes, clear as water and sparkling as the stars in the night skies.

“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.” October was very sincere.

‘I really am a selfish woman. I don’t want to worry him but at the same time I don’t want to quit my job.’ October felt like she was really in a tight spot in which she had a hard time choosing the path she wanted to take.

“We need to talk.” Lexus sternly said with a serious look on his face that October have not seen before. He gently held her hand and guided her toward the living room and into the sofa to have a serious talk with his wife.

“…okay.” October said after a short pause. She let herself be guided by Lexus. It was no denial that she already had an inkling of what he would tell her but she would not say anything and let Lexus tell her himself.

They sat side by side. The moon outside was already high up in the sky. It was silent and comforting. However, that was not the case for the couple in the huge mansion as it was engulfed with a deafening silence. Both just stared at each other, reading their partner’s eyes.

“I love you and I care for you.” Lexus said without batting his eyes and just stared piercingly at October’s eyes. He was sincere and blunt with his feelings. But this was not the main thing he wanted to say to her and October knew this and just braced herself with comes next.
