The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 272: Chapter 269: Taking a Breather

Halfway through reading the message, Elliana Lyle suddenly sat up in bed, squinting slightly to see more clearly.

Clearly, she wasn’t mistaken.

Without thinking much, she directly dialed a video call.

The ring lasted until the final prompt that the other party might be unavailable, yet Summer Hue didn’t answer.

After it automatically hung up, she considered calling again when a message from Summer Hue popped up in the

chat bar.

Summer Hue: "Cousin, I'm driving, and | want to be quiet for a while. Don’t worry about me. Could you let Zane

Bennett know?"

Seeing this, Elliana decided against calling again.

Driving was just an excuse; picking up the phone was way easier than typing. Perhaps she didn’t want to answer

her call.

She found out yesterday that the two had argued, thought things would be better today, but didn’t expect that

they needed to separate to cool off.

Whatever the issue was, she couldn't guess.

But the couple’s affairs were not for her to meddle in. Her position was indeed awkward, as Zane’s sister-in-law

and Summer's cousin.

She played the role of a middle person.

Which was why this message task fell into her lap.

She rubbed her heavy head and sighed deeply at her phone screen.

Peaches: "Okay, I'll let him know. Where are you? Don’t wander around alone."

Bzzz[]

Summer Hue: "I'm just going to stay by the seaside for a while and I'll be back soon. By then, I'll bring you some

shells back, cousin."

This was as good as saying nothing. There are so many seasides in the country, at least there should be a name,

or maybe a foreign seaside.

But she understood why Summer said this: firstly, to reassure her, and secondly, to keep her specific

whereabouts undisclosed.

Probably worried she would tell Zane Bennett.

Peaches: "Alright then, take care and drive safely, look after yourself and eat well once you get there."

Peaches: "Remember to callwhen you arrive."

After a bunch of nagging, Summer Hue sent back an OK cat emoji.

Seems like nothing serious would happen, after all Summer was a cheerful girl from childhood.

She remembered when Summer failed her math and was fed bamboo shoot stir-fry by her aunt.

Crying her heart out, she was right there to witness that aftermath, blurting out words before taking them back.

She asked if Summer wanted to eat spicy hotpot at the stall. Summer paused in surprise, and her cries stopped.

She said "Let's go!"

In high school, Summer suffered a heartbreak, seemed like a cyber romance, a first love, met through games,

even swore to marry.

After crying, she took her out to eat hotpot.

Spent over three thousand on beef tripe, when one serving cost sixty bucks.

A girl whose mood could be cured by food, so she wasn’t particularly worried.

She still found Zane Bennett's character decent, unlikely to do anything outrageous.

Thinking so, she already opened Zane’s chat window.

Peaches: "Summer said she wants to be alone for a while, askedto let you know."

Shortly after sending it, he began typing but then stopped midway.

Several minutes passed as she waited for Zane Bennett to reply. Just as she considered sending another

message, he finally messaged.

Zane Bennett: "Did she tell you anything? Where did she go, where is she now?"

Three questions all at once, enough to show Zane’s anxiety.

But these questions were beyond her answering.

Peaches: "I don’t know either, Summer mentioned going to the beach."

Zane Bennett: "Got it, she now refuses to reply to me. Sis-in-law, let her know, I, Zane Bennett, won't marry

anyone else but her in this lifetime."

For sunknown reason, upon seeing this message, Elliana broke into an auntie smile.

The true essence of humans is shipping couples, right?

With three fingers, she swiped across the screen, captured the chat.

Then sent the screenshot to Summer Hue.

The other side was typing...

Summer Hue: "I know, | saw the messages he sent me. | just haven't figured sthings out."

Summer Hue: "Don’t worry about us, cousin. There’s no big issue. You and my brother-in-law take care."

———North City Summerworth Computer Systems Co.

This is the company supported by Norman Bennett for Zane Bennett and Summer Hue to start.

Now Zane Bennett is the CEO, Summer Hue is the deputy, and Elliana Lyle is the largest shareholder in

Summerworth Co. with thirty percent of the shares.

Melody Harmony Group holds ten percent. The remainder is split equally between Zane Bennett and Summer

Hue.

The company isn’t public yet, everything is being prepared, and the gis still in beta testing.

Zane Bennett sits alone in the office, holding his head with both hands, elbows propped as he feels drained.

Seems like there’s no motivation, nothing to lift his spirits, not even wanting to manage the company.

Though the company is mostly running smoothly now, the love of his life left at this time.

Despite Summer Hue not mentioning breaking up again, he knew it’s pretty much a long shot.

He really didn’t mind what happened that day, only cared about her, it's about her as a person, he didn’t care

about anything else, just wanted Summer Hue.

He also understood Summer Hue’s character, strong-willed and heavy dignity, hence he didn’t dare say or touch

her sore spots.

But the more like this, seemingly the more distance grows between them.

Ding dong[]

At this moment, his phone sounded, buried his head between his arms, not intending to respond.

Ding dong[]

Only after four or five rings did he slowly lift his head, frowned, and unlocked the black screen phone.

The screen lit up displaying several messages labeled with "Baby," along with a picture.

Without opening the picture, he didn’t know what Summer Hue sent.

His heart sank, nervously unlocked the screen, and finally opened WeChat.

Baby: "I know, | love you too."

Baby: "I just want to be alone for a bit."

Baby: "Take good care of our company, letslack off a bit."

Baby: [Picture]

The last picture was a dynamic emoji meaning love you.

After reading these messages, he felt

relieved, like a stro light piarsing

Ready to reply, Elliana suddenly called.

Had to answer first, return to messaging later.

"Hey, what's up brat?"

Maybe feeling better, blurted out easily. This nicknwas more natural to him, used since childhood.

Soon, Elliana’s serious voice came

Elliana herself couldn't believe it, after all, she didn’t invest much money.
