The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 115: Chapter 114: Engagement Banquet

a.m.

Elliana Lyle woke up abruptly, shivering slightly.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

The man’s gentle voice cfrom above her head. She was still in his warm embrace, feeling much more at

ease instantly.

What startled her was not anything else, but that in the dream she went to attend Sister Phoebe’s engagement

party, and on her neck...

Thinking of what Norman Bennett did to her last night made her a bit angry, and suddenly she was wide awake!

Maybe because she hadn't spent quality twith Norman lately, she indulged the man exceptionally last night,

even responding to him...

If she hadn't stopped in time, things might have gone out of control.

"Norman Bennett, it’s all your fault!"

Elliana huffed and sat up, turned on the light, and checked the ton the wall clock before quickly getting out

of bed.

The man looked at her in bafflement, then sat up half-awake, and when he saw the little girl already sitting at the

dressing table applying concealer to her neck, he instantly understood.

"There's still time, early enough."

Hearing the teasing tone in his voice, her face flushed with anger, "How could you still have the nerve to say

that, it’s all because of you!"

"Yes, it's me."

The man said, getting up, apparently planning to get out of bed.

Soon, the man was already dressed, while she had only covered a small part. Casually, she asked, "Are you

leaving this early?"

The man cover and held her in his arms, watching the little girl busily touching up in the mirror, his tone

indulgent: "Yes, finish early today, get the certificate tomorrow."

Elliana turned back to look at the handsface of the man and impulsively asked, "You want to get the

certificate so you can start work?"

"es."

"..." Elliana didn’t know what to say for a moment, but anyway, what's to cwill come, and she has

psychologically prepared herself.

"I'm not talking to you anymore." Elliana continued applying concealer in front of the mirror.

Seeing the striking marks on her white collarbone, the man’s voice was tender: "I'll be gentler next time."

—=6 a.m.

Lana had already helped her change into the dress. Elliana deliberately didn’t style her hair, so it could cover

more of what needed hiding.

When she stepped outside, Luna was already standing by the car waiting for her, dressed in a black hoodie,

black pants, and black Martin boots, looking both chic and beautiful.

Watching Elliana walk over with her skirt in hand and those fair legs beneath, she couldn't help but ask, "Buddy,

aren't you cold wearing a dress?"

Elliana bent down, tugging at her flesh-colored thermal pants, "Really thick."

The car drove all the way towards Modison Hotel. Elliana soon fell asleep after getting in, she was really tired and

had not fully woken up.

After stime, the car stopped, and by then Elliana was in a deep sleep.

"Buddy, we're here." Luna tried to wake her with a gentle pat on her flushed cheek.

Joy Lyle was already waiting at the hotel entrance, glancing around. She hadn't received any reply to the

message she sent to Elliana this morning. Although the Lyle Family elders were not too fond of her because of

the South University news, she still hoped her sister would come.

At least it would give Grandma Lyle less to complain about.

Until she saw a familiar figure getting out of a white car, she finally relaxed and quickly went up to meet her.

"Sis.

"Elliana."

The two sisters hugged briefly, and only then did Joy notice a girl in sunglasses standing next to her sister.

Elliana quickly introduced them, then asked, "Where's Sister Phoebe?"

"Upstairs preparing, the engagement banquet starts at noon. It’s still early, not many people here yet, I'll take

you up."

"Okay."

Room A-042.

Inside, Phoebe Lyle was adjusting John Shaw's suit. Hearing the door, they both looked over.

Seeing Elliana arrive, Phoebe warmly welcomed, "Elliana is here, have a seat, there are your favorite snacks on

the table."

"Hi, brother-in-law, I'm Elliana."

Elliana greeted John Shaw after walking over.

John smiled shyly, "Hello."

Standing beside Elliana, Luna secretly sized up John Shaw.

Phoebe then said to the man, "You go downstairs to help, I'll chat with my two sisters for a while."

"Alright, you guys chat."

When John left, the group sat on the sofa to chat idly. Luna was unusually quiet today, her face involuntarily cold

the whole time.

At this moment, a phone rang in the corner of the sofa, it was a WeChat call.

Being closer, Luna handed the phone to Phoebe and inadvertently saw an avatar, which immediately caused her

to pause internally.

Phoebe took the phone, glanced, and set it down again, saying, "In such a hurry, left without the phone." She

answered it while speaking.

"Cwithto the washroom," Luna whispered to Elliana, loud enough only for her to hear.

"What do you mean?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

Luna quickly made a silencing gesture.

Elliana nodded, covering her mouth but she was still doubtful about what Luna said.

"Could it be a coincidence?"

"Better to err on the side of caution, try to find a way to get your two sisters out for a bit, and then bringa

computer and a data cable."

"Huh? Where can | find those for you? Besides... there's not enough time."

Luna lowered her head, frowning in thought, her eyes rolled and a bright idea lit up her mind.

After going out, Elliana’s dress was soaked with water stains, she said anxiously, "Sister Phoebe, the faucet

splashed water all over me, do you have a hairdryer or something?"

"Yes!"

Joy had left at spoint, and she followed Phoebe away from the sofa area.

Luna took advantage of the moment to emerge from the washroom and said to Elliana, "Something cup at

home, | have to go now."

"Oh, okay."

——Half an hour later.

John Shaw cup to get his phone, but he couldn't find it anywhere, and Luna's phone was left behind.

"She must have left in a hurry and taken the wrong one," Elliana said, feeling a bit guilty. Then she added, "Sister

Phoebe, call brother-in-law’s phone."

"Okay."

When the call connected, it was indeed a girl's voice on the other end, Phoebe kindly said, "It's okay, you just

took the wrong one."

"Brother-in-law, I'm really sorry, my friend is always a bit scatterbrained." Elliana looked a bit embarrassed since

Luna was her companion.

John shook his head, smiling, "It's alright, no problem." Then he said to Phoebe, "Phoebe, I'll head down first, the

parents should be arriving."

"Okay."

Phoebe watched John leave before Elliana asked, "Brother-in-law won't be angry, right?"

"No, it's not a big deal."

The current Phoebe, in her every move, exuded a gentle and serene grace, a far cry from her former indifferent

image.

"Sister Phoebe, | feel you've becmuch more gentle than before, is it because of brother-in-law?"

Phoebe smiled and said nothing, implying consent.

Soon, many people cupstairs, relatives from the groom’s side, and the Lyle Family.

Upon seeing her, Grandma Lyle’s expression darkened, her mouth turning downward.

"You ctoo?" Grandma Lyle asked with a cold face.

Elliana held back her dissatisfaction, smiling as she greeted, "Grandma."

If it weren't for the crowd today, Grandma Lyle might have driven her away.

"Elliana, go help your sister Joy, she must barely be keeping up." Phoebe knew Elliana didn’t want to stay here,

so she quickly found an excuse to send her out.

Elliana nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
