Chapter 1939
After cleaning up the blood, Wayne stripped off his shirt and walked into his closet, swapping it out for an old one.
Due to his previous severe injuries, he had lost a lot of weight and hadn’t fully recovered yet.
His new shirt was rather loose.
Without any hesitation, Wayne tossed his bloody shirt, along with the tools he used to treat his wounds, into the trash can.
After doing all that, he mechanically opened a bottle of some blood replenishing medicine.
After a few sips, he curled up on the couch and soon fell into a deep sleep due to the dizziness caused by blood loss.
He was woken up by a call from Ableson.
Wayne had a bit of a headache. He picked up the phone.
“President Silverman, are you still busy?” Ableson asked.
Wayne frowned and instinctively checked the time, it was already four in the afternoon..
is my wife looking for me?” Wayne sat up.
“Yes, she’s asking when you’ll be done and come home for dinner, Ableson replied.
Wayne replied, “Have the car wait for me at the entrance of Moonlit Lake, I’ll be right there”
“Yes, sir!” Ableson didn’t dare to ask where Wayne had been.
The driver told him that Wayne had gotten off near a park and would contact him when he was done with his business.
Ableson had no idea what Wayne was busy with,
From Wayne’s voice, he could tell Wayne seemed a bit pissed off.
He dared not ask any further. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Before leaving, Wayne took the trash down
Upon reaching the lobby, he bumped into the flower shop owner.
“Mr. Silverman, you’re back. I always deliver flowers to your house and your servants always take them. Haven’t seen you in so long!” The owner looked Wayne up and down, “You’ve lost weight! You should really take care of your health!”
Wayne looked at the woman in front of him.
Images flickered in his mind, but they disappeared quickly.
“Okay,” he replied.
The owner said, “Well, I’ll let you get back to your business. I still have flowers to deliver!”
“Alright.”
The owner hurried away
Wayne gave her a glance and headed for the door.
The cab he called had arrived and soon dropped him off at the entrance of Moonlit Lake.
Ableson was already waiting for him there.
Wayne got straight into the car where a spare suit was waiting for him.
After he pulled the curtain, he changed out of his ill-fitting shirt.
Just when he finished tidying up, the car came to a halt.
Wayne got out.
“Daddy”” Ivy shouted excitedly, diving straight into his arms.
A smile finally appeared on Wayne’s face as he scooped up Ivy. “Did you miss me?”
“Of course!” Ivy nodded vigorously, “Mommy missed you too! You worked so late today! Did something come up?”
“Nothing in particular, I have a meeting at the office tomorrow and I wanted to be fully prepared Wayne gently patted Ivy’s back, then looked up at Rosalynn who was standing not far away, “Honey, I got so caught up with work today. I forgot to text you.”
“You’ve done this before.” Rosalynn made a teasing remark, waving at their daughter.
Ivy got down from her dad’s arms.
Wayne was a workaholic, sometimes even skipping meals when he was busy, let alone replying to messages.
Rosalynn had gotten used to it
However, her casual comment sounded like a thunderbolt in Wayne’s ears.
“I won’t do that anymore!” His voice was filled with panic and helplessness, it was almost like he blurted it out without thinking.
Rosalynn looked at him in surprise.
