C17 Call Me Husband

Edwin Carter sat upright and ate seriously and elegantly as usual. He didn't say much nor did he know whether it was delicious or not.

After spending some time with him, Jane Ronan knew that he didn't talk much, so she didn't bother to argue with him about this.

The two were almost done eating. Jane Ronan noticed Edwin Carter's red face and asked worriedly, "Edwin Carter, what's wrong with your face?"

"I'm fine." Edwin Carter stood up, "I'm going out for a while. I might not be back tonight."

Jane Ronan looked at him and said dejectedly, "Then pay attention to your safety!"

Edwin Carter went back to his room to get a coat and quickly left without saying a word.

After he went downstairs, he took out his phone and dialed a number. "Immediately drive me to the hospital."

"..."

On Monday, Edwin Carter called to tell Jane Ronan that he was away on a business trip and that Jane Ronan had new projects to prepare.

According to Olive Lee, Starlight's leader liked Jane Ronan's last project very much. He assigned this project to Jane Ronan, asking her to submit a rough draft of the project within three days.

In just three short days, it would definitely not be easy for him to submit a proposal that would satisfy the other party.

Jane Ronan was a very strict worker. She would never be able to dig her way out of her work, and she was the kind of person who was too busy to even eat.

At noon, Wade Wong walked over and looked at Jane Ronan with a pained expression. "Jane Ronan, let's go outside for lunch together."

Jane Ronan said without looking up, "You guys go ahead. "When I'm done with my little business, I'll go.

He had been working with Jane Ronan for three years now, and did not know that Jane Ronan was talking about this. He put his hand on Jane Ronan's hand, which was holding the mouse, and asked, "Jane Ronan, can you go eat first?"

Jane Ronan retracted her hand and raised her head to look at Wade Wong. When she looked at him, she felt that something was wrong, as if she could see some feelings in Wade Wong's eyes.

Jane Ronan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed like she had to let Wade Wong know about some things and not let the misunderstanding continue.

She pressed the standby button and got up. "Let's go."

This was the first time Jane Ronan agreed to eat with him. Wade Wong was secretly happy inside, so he chose a quiet restaurant and wanted to take the opportunity to tell Jane Ronan.

Sitting down, Wade Wong ordered some expensive dishes on his own accord. He didn't ask Jane Ronan if she liked it, but he looked at Jane Ronan with a smile.

Jane Ronan understood, but pretended not to understand. She thought that it would be great if Edwin Carter could call her at this time.

Just as she thought that, Jane Ronan's cell phone rang.

Jane Ronan smiled apologetically at Wade Wong before answering, "Hubby, my colleague and I are having dinner outside, you don't have to worry about me."

"Jane Ronan, you really want to show off in front of me, right?" Laura said with dissatisfaction on the other end of the phone.

Jane Ronan's smile became gentler. "Un, I know. I have already done what you told me to do. I won't not eat." If you don't believe me, I'll take a picture and show you when the dishes are served. "

Laura and Jane Ronan had been friends for so many years. The two of them were as good as one person. If they didn't hear anything now, then Laura wouldn't be the same.

Therefore, Laura also cooperated with Jane Ronan and said, "Darling, come back early tonight. Husband is waiting for you to warm your bed."

Jane Ronan changed her bashful smile. "Don't make it sound so silly."

After she said that, Jane Ronan hung up. But just after she hung up, another call came in. This time, it was her real husband — Edwin Carter!

Jane Ronan was slightly shocked. She looked at Wade Wong and smiled embarrassedly before answering: "Hello?"

Edwin Carter's low and sexy voice came out of the phone, "I had someone prepare lunch, why didn't you go over?"

Jane Ronan couldn't answer him that she was already eating. As soon as she said that, she exposed herself in front of Wade Wong.

She clenched her teeth and said sweetly, "Hubby, I will take good care of myself, don't worry about me."

There was a long silence at the other end of the line, so silent that Jane Ronan thought Edwin Carter had hung up.

For a long time, she didn't hear Edwin Carter's words. Jane Ronan knew that things were not going well. She didn't know what Edwin Carter was going to make of her again.

After a long while, he heard Edwin Carter's low and deep voice from the phone, "I don't want to go back until Thursday. Take care of yourself."

"Alright." Jane Ronan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Edwin Carter would be back in a few days, so she should have forgotten about this matter when he came back.

Wade Wong had an injured expression on his face when he heard Jane Ronan call him 'husband' for the first time. He waited until Jane Ronan hung up the phone before asking, "Jane Ronan, you're married?"

Jane Ronan nodded and said, "Marrying at my age shouldn't be anything strange."

Wade Wong was unable to say a lot of words that he was prepared to say. He only smiled sadly: "I wish you well."

Although he was interested in Jane Ronan, he felt that he was not worthy of her. He comforted himself that Jane Ronan had a good home.

Jane Ronan smiled as she thanked him. In her heart, she was praising her own cleverness.

Before Wade Wong said it, he let him know that she was married. In the future, everyone could work as well as they used to, and they wouldn't feel awkward meeting each other again.

However, that night, Jane Ronan didn't feel like she had the wit to do so.

When Jane Ronan slept soundly at night, she felt that there was someone sitting beside her.

She was still very sleepy, but the moment she smelled the familiar clean and cold scent of a man, she was instantly scared awake.

She suddenly sat up, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the man sitting on the bedside with some surprise. "You … didn't you say you wouldn't be back until Thursday?"

Edwin Carter replied with an indifferent expression: "I have to come back to take care of some temporary matters. I'll fly back to Xiao Shan in the morning."

His original work plan was to be completed on Thursday, but since Jane Ronan had hinted that she missed him, as her husband, he couldn't pretend that he hadn't heard her.

After talking to Jane Ronan at noon, he had his assistant book a plane ticket back for the night and then fly back to work in the morning.

Remembering the call at noon, Jane Ronan scratched her head with a blush, "Have you eaten dinner yet? Do you want me to cook some supper? "

When Edwin Carter finished talking to the others, it was 8 PM. After that, he rushed to the airport without stopping for a moment to catch the 10 pm flight back to Longahe.

It would take more than two hours to fly from Xiao Shan City to Longahe City, and it was already close to one in the morning. When he arrived home, it was already two in the morning.

At nine in the morning, there was still a very important meeting that had to be hosted by him. The secretary booked Edwin Carter to fly to Xiao Shan from Longahe City at five o'clock.

The time couldn't be rushed anymore, and Edwin Carter never ate the meals provided on the plane, so he still hadn't eaten since noon yesterday.

He was too busy to eat and came back because Jane Ronan had hinted that she missed him. Jane Ronan wanted to help him on his supper, so she was sure that she wanted to get along with him a little longer.
