Seline was seething with rage as she shouted. She wished she could tear Suzanne apart. Jenson wouldn't have left like this if it hadn't been for Suzanne getting in the way.
She was so furious! For the next two days, Jenson's calls and messages completely disappeared. Without his constant pestering, Suzanne felt a sense of relief, as if the air she breathed had becfresher.
Tflew by when she was in a good mood.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore she knew it, it was Friday evening. The nights at Starview Villa were always peaceful and comfortable.
In Suzanne's room, a fresh bouquet of pink roses had been placed on the side table. A gentle breeze carried their delicate fragrance throughout the room.
Sitting in her rocking chair, Suzanne inhaled the floral scent, feeling completely at ease. Friday nights always brought a sense of relaxation and comfort.
As she picked up her phone, Suzanne realized she hadn't contacted Austin in days. As his wife, she felt a little guilty about that.
After a moment of thought, she decided it was a good tto call him, assuming he'd be done with work and resting by now.
In Hall Corporation's branch office in Azure City, the conference room was brightly lit. A group of high-level executives sat around the table, passionately discussing the progress of their projects. The sudden ring of a phone broke the silence. All eyes turned to Austin, who was seated at the head of the table. Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grateful it wasn't their phone that had gone off. Otherwise, they might have faced his wrath.
Austin's cool gaze fell on his phone. When he saw Suzanne's non the screen, he paused for a moment before answering the call.
The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared at Austin in shock. This was the first tAustin had ever answered a phone call during a meeting.
To them, it was like witnessing a rare phenomenon. Of course, they didn't know that Austin had done the sduring meetings at the main company.
What surprised them even more was the gentle tone in Austin's voice as he spoke. "Hello, what's up?" Only Gabriel, who was used to this, remained unfazed.

Austin's grip on his phone tightened slightly. "Yeah. Have you eaten dinner yet?" With a wave of his hand, he signaled for the others to continue their discussions.
The executives resumed their low murmurs about the project's progress, but their eyes kept darting toward Austin.
The usually stern and cold Austin now seemed gentle. It was something they had never seen before: Disbelief was written all over their faces. Suzanne nodded instinctively as she said, "I've eaten. What about you?" Their conversation felt a bit awkward, and Suzanne cleared her throat, trying to ease the tension.
Austin immediately frowned, his voice low with concern. "Is your throat bothering you? Make sure to drink more water. There's medicine in the room's drawer. If it gets worse, call Charles to cget you checked."
He rattled off all the instructions in one go. Even though he knew she was Jane and capable of taking care of herself, sometimes, self-treatment wasn't the most convenient option. Suzanne's lips curved into a faint smile. "I'm fine," she replied.
She wondered what normal couples usually talked about. After a moment of thought, she asked softly, "Have you missedlately?"
