A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

'However, I don't remember that Mr. Cordova ever had a happy expression on his face,' Devin thought, so he believed that Raymond must be pleased with his quick response.

"Mr. Cordova, I moved fast, didn't I? Don't worry. In less than twenty minutes, all the news on the Internet will be deleted." Devin proudly claimed credit for the abrupt disappearance of the news. "When I want you to move quickly, you dawdle. You are very active when I need you to do nothing!"

'Did I make a mistake?' Devin wondered. What Raymond had said confused Devin, so he asked, "Mr. Cordova, shouldn't I delete the news?"

Raymond hung up the phone as his answer.

Devin looked at his phone and scratched the back of his head.

Devin thought, 'So, why did Mr. Cordova call? I don't understand what he wants.

He must have reached a different level. A mortal like me couldn't understand a single word he said.'

Devin continued his talk with others on the phone. "Hey, did you hear what I just said? Immediately delete the news. Otherwise, our cooperation will be canceled!"

Raymond still looked bad after hanging up the phone.

Ted looked at Raymond through the rearview mirror and asked carefully, "Mr. Cordova, what's wrong?"

"Just drive!"

Ted obediently shut his mouth.

Veronica didn't want to sleep anymore after her interaction with a stranger on Weibo. She got up, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. Then, she began her listening exercises. When it was almost ten o'clock, there came a call.

Veronica answered the call at the sight of the name of the caller, Winy. She said respectfully, "Hello, Mrs. Comte."

Winy's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. "Veronica, how are you? Are you alright?"

"Thank you for asking, Mrs. Comte. I am fine. Thank you for what you did the night before yesterday."

"I won't feel relieved till I see you with my own eyes. I have time at noon. What do you think of having lunch with me?" Winy asked.

'Mrs. Comte helped me out, sent me to the hospital, and even paid the medical expenses for me. I should take advantage of this opportunity to repay the medical expenses.' Veronica thought. "Alright, where should we meet?" Veronica asked.

Veronica got changed. She wore a short T-shirt and jeans with a ponytail.

Stella just woke up when Veronica left for lunch. Stella scratched her messy hair, waved at Veronica, and then closed the door with her sleepy eyes.

Veronica and Winy almost arrived at the appointed place at the same time. They smiled at each other and then went into the restaurant together.

The waiter of the restaurant came over to greet his clients. He said after one glance at both Veronica and Winy, "Wow, you, mother and daughter, look quite alike!"

'Mother and daughter?' Both Veronica and Winy thought.

They couldn't help smiling at each other again.

Veronica explained to the waiter with a smile, "I am not her daughter!"

"Really?" The waiter shifted his gaze between Veronica and Winy with surprise. "Isn't she your mother? However, the two of you look so alike. I thought you were mother and daughter." Winy felt pleased.

"We want a private room," Winy said loudly.

The waiter was smart enough to notice that Winy wore fancy clothes. He hurriedly led the two women to a private room.

Veronica ordered two dishes, including meat and vegetables. Then, she handed the menu to Winy and said, "Mrs. Comte, you may order two dishes at most, or there will be too many dishes for us!" Veronica was afraid that Winy would order a lot of dishes and waste them as she had done last time.

Winy glanced at Veronica and then began to order dishes. Veronica reminded Winy when Winy had ordered two dishes. Even so, Winy ordered four dishes in total in the end.

Veronica breathed a sigh of relief. 'Fortunately, she did not order more than ten dishes this time.' Veronica thought.

The waiter served some water and then left with the menu. Winy looked Veronica up and down with concern in her eyes. "Veronica, let me see if you have recovered."

Veronica stood up with a smile. She turned around in front of Winy and then raised her arms and legs. "Look, am I fine?"

Veronica often did workouts, so she was in good health. Others who had wounds like hers might need half a month to recover.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Anyway, Veronica had a quick recovery.

Winy looked at Veronica with satisfaction.

"Not bad. You do look fine." Winy sighed. "You scared me the night before yesterday. I didn't have time to ask you in detail. What happened to you that night? How did you get hurt like that?" Veronica did not want to frighten Winy with the real reason.

Therefore, she lied, "A trifle. Mrs. Comte, please don't ask!"

As for her wounds, most of them were caused by collisions with the guardrails and walls during her panicky flight in the narrow staircase.

"Well, I won't ask again if you don't want to talk about it." Winy stroked Veronica's face with sympathy. "Good thing that you don't have wounds on your face."

This kindness from Winy made Veronica feel warm in her heart.

Veronica could feel that Winy was true and good to her. Veronica was touched because she had just met Winy a few times.

"Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Comte. I will be more careful in the future."

Winy liked Veronica more than before after several meetings, though she didn't know why.

Veronica felt familiar with Winy from their first meeting.

What the waiter had just said enlightened Winy.

Winy thought, 'I feel familiar with Veronica because she looks like me.

Zoey is my biological daughter but doesn't look like me. Isn't this fate?' Winy knew something about human nature. She noticed that Veronica did not curry favor with her as other girls did. 'Veronica admires and respects me.' Winy thought.

Therefore, Veronica seemed sincere to Winy.

Veronica remembered something, took out an envelope from her pocket, and pushed it to Winy. "Mrs. Comte."

"What is this?"

Winy took the envelope, opened it, and saw money inside. She immediately understood what Veronica was trying to do. Winy immediately pulled a long face and pushed the money back. "Do you think I lack this money?"

Veronica panicked. "Mrs. Comte, please don't get me wrong. You paid for my medical expenses, so it is reasonable that I repay you."

"Take the money back." Winy pushed the envelope to Veronica.
