He didnât tell her before because there was no real evidence and afraid it would inadvertently alert his enemies. He had endured silently for so many years to wait for the old fox showing his tail.
Mrs. Hoyle stood there and the world suddenly seemed to be overturned. She didnât know whether she should believe in her son or her old friends who had been supporting her for many years.
Alan Hoyle was furious, wanted to grab his wife and hit her in the ass. His mother lived in the hotel where she was. But she didnât even say a word. He didnât believe she didnât know.
It seemed that in the future, he would have to keep an eye on her a little bit more, so that his little girl wouldnât go missing someday. Although the possibility was very small, as long as it wasnât a complete non-possibility, there would be a shadow in his heart.
He made a phone call and heard a gentle voice calling him âhusbandâ. That tone of hers immediately made his anger vanish like smoke.
âLittle girl, why didnât you tell me that my mom stays in Angel?â
Olive Steele unconcernedly said, âSo what? Angel is a hotel and for guests who need place to stay.
She can stay as long as she wants. And I just canât drive her out, right?â
âArenât you afraid that sheâll cause trouble to you?â
âItâs fine. I have you as a backer, so what do I need to be afraid of? If I canât handle her, I will ask my securities. Besides, I canât keep hiding from here. Sheâs your mother; my mother-in-law. I still need to face her. Itâs good that she lives here, canât stop us fighting more often. One day we will shake hands and make peace, smile and let bygones be bygones. Husband, I donât want you be in the middle of this. Itâll make me upset and sad. So, to make my husband happy every day, I canât hide behind my husband and be a coward. I must face my super super super difficult mother-in-law.â
She pretended to be light and playful, and it warmed his heart. How could he not love this little girl? He didnât want her to suffer anymore, so he always wanted to protect her under his wings. But the little girl didnât want to let him bear the pressure alone.
Fearing that he would be worried, his wife assured him, âDonât worry, my husband. Your little wife will never play missing game again. I swear by my happiness for the rest of my life, no matter how hard the road ahead, I will obediently stay by my husbandâs side.â
âWould you dare to misbehave?â Alan Hoyle smiled and hummed, âIf you dare to misbehave, I will put a gold steel chain around your neck, tie it to my hand and stay by my side for 24 hours.â
âCanât you put it on the feet? Itâs ugly to put in on the neck,â she murmured and bargained.
Her words caught his attention. Perhaps, he could give her a special gift. He smirked, then coaxed her like a little pet, âThen be good. And Iâll let you be free, looking after you like a queen every day.â
âMr. Hoyle, Iâm very good now. Are you driving now?â She heard background music on the phone.
Although that time working with him was very short, but during those short days, she already knew that he was extremely rigorous when he worked. So it was a bit impossible for him listening to music while working.
âYeah. On my way to sign a contract.â
âThen drive safe. Iâm hanging up.â
âMrs. Hoyle, that eager to dismiss me?â Someone was displeased.
âMr. Hoyle, itâs a bad habit to be in phone while driving.â She was thinking of his safety.
He understood his wifeâs mind. She actually a shadow of a car accident, so he was relieved when she drove. She wouldnât drive carelessly. He actually wanted to say more intimate words, but it looked like it had to wait until nighttime.
âI canât accompany you for lunch. Donât forget the time yourself. If you forget, Iâll spank you. I will check on you anytime.â
She didnât have freedom anymore, and he said to her something about freedom. What a tyrant.
Her man was getting clingier towards her. He was dying to tie her around him for twenty-four hours. But what should she do?
After hanging up, Olive Steele tapped her finger on the table. The office door was suddenly knocked open and the little secretaryâs shy face was filled with obvious happiness, âSister Olive, youâre too amazing.â
âHas he confessed?â Olive Steele smiled.
âYeah,â her little secretary nodded vigorously.
âYouâve accepted?â
Her little secretary turned red, âYou wonât fire us, right?â
âDo you have a better place to go?â
âI donât,â her little secretary quickly shook her head.
âThen why arenât you seriously working?â Olive Steele scared her little secretary and she ran away.
She both didnât oppose and encourage love office. But if she met a couple in love, she wouldnât mind being a matchmaker.
The days passed by just like that. She was always ready to welcome Mrs. Hoyleâs troubles, but strangely, three and four days later, everything was calm. If it wasnât because the room was still not yet checked out, she would really think that Mrs. Hoyle had never even come to Luo City. She didnât look for her and go to her place too.
Alan Hoyle might have talked to his mother.
Chloe Malan had told her the story of that day with indignation, cursing the old witch.
In this world, there was always a kind of person who thought that money could buy everything.
Olive Steele didnât deny that having money could drive ghosts away. Money was a good thing. With a splurge, the rich could buy things that the poor couldnât afford for a lifetime.
