Untamed Charming Wife

“I like Mick?” Kayla doubted her hearing. “Who said I like Mick?”

Mr. Speed clicked his tongue, “If you don’t like Mick, why didn’t you come here and instead insisted on working with him at the North District Police Department? But Mick is a good guy-steady and smart. Once that fat guy in your department retires, Mick is definitely going to be the chief of the North District.”

Mr. Speed truly cared for Kayla like his own child, always worried about her well-being.

Although he was unhappy about Mick snatching her away years ago, he had to admit Mick had taken good care of her.

If Kayla and Mick ended up together, under the protection of the Robins Family, he wouldn’t have to worry about her anymore.

Kayla didn’t want to continue this topic. “Please don’t worry about these things. I’ll come back tomorrow morning. Also, my mom is in the psychiatric department at RosenBay Hospital.”

With that, she glanced at Mr. Speed, who was smiling broadly, shook her head, and left.

Kayla had always been grateful for Mr. Speed’s care. He and Mick had secretly helped her solve many problems.

If her mom could fully recover through treatment, a steady and upright man like Mr. Speed might indeed make her mom happy…

Leaving the West District Police Department, Kayla drove towards RosenBay.

…

The bookshelf in the study slid aside, revealing an entire wall of digital screens linked to a computer. Ethaniel pressed the enter key, and a magnified handsome face appeared on the wall.

“Hey, bro~” The man had a huge velvet bed behind him, his bare chest showing clear scratch marks. His emerald green eyes and chiseled features made him look like a playboy.

Ethaniel took a sip of coffee and glanced at him coldly. “I was attacked in Seatowne, professional hitmen, black men, targeting both Ollie and me. Need I say more?”

Hearing this, the playboy across the screen was visibly shocked and concerned. “Bro, are you hurt? Who attacked you? How’s little Ollie?”

Ethaniel didn’t answer any of his questions, his violet eyes calmly staring at the man on the screen, exuding a chill.

Halfway across the world, the man on the screen couldn’t meet Ethaniel’s gaze, finally answering cautiously, “I’m… I’m not in Tandoria right now. I’m chasing a girl. She’s filming abroad recently…”

Ethaniel wasn’t angry. He just glanced at his watch and then looked up, his voice icy, “You have two hours to return to Tandoria. If you’re not there in two hours, don’t bother seeing me again.”

With that, Ethaniel cut off the communication.

The bookshelf moved back to its original position, covering the digital wall.

Knock, knock, knock.

A knock on the door. “President, it’s Linda.”

“Come in.” Ethaniel put down his coffee cup and said calmly.

The study door opened, and Linda placed some documents beside Ethaniel, speaking softly, “President, should we start planning our return to Tandoria?”

“En?” Ethaniel opened the documents and began reading.

“Tomorrow is the closing ceremony of the Investment Summit. All investment plans have been signed. The headquarters needs someone in charge, and Seatowne isn’t safe. I think it’s best to return to Tandoria as soon as possible.” Linda tried to speak in the most objective tone.

Linda knew Ethaniel felt differently about Kayla, but she still believed Ethaniel wouldn’t lose his rational judgment.

Looking expectantly at Ethaniel, Linda watched as he closed the folder, slowly lifted his eyelashes, his violet eyes cold and steady, “I won’t attend tomorrow’s closing ceremony. You will represent me.”

“Yes,” Linda answered, hesitating before asking, “Then when are we returning to Tandoria?”

“In three days,” Ethaniel replied calmly.

Linda was ecstatic upon hearing this!

Finally, they were going back to Tandoria!

Once back, Kayla wouldn’t be around, and she would be the only woman by Ethaniel’s side!

Outside the study, Kayla slowly withdrew her hand, glanced at the slightly ajar door, and quietly turned away.

Was he really leaving so soon? Without even discussing it with her or informing her?

Indeed, Viola and Mick were right. There was no future with Ethaniel…

Watching the sunset nearly disappear beyond the horizon, Kayla stood up. What was there to be sad about?

Without Ethaniel, she’d still go to work tomorrow, have her three meals a day, and live her life!

Pushing open the study door, Ethaniel looked up at Kayla’s angry face. She didn’t realize how cute she looked when she was mad.

Unaware of this, Kayla was furious. She grabbed Ethaniel and snarled, “Goodbye!” before kicking his leg hard and leaving gracefully.

“…” Ethaniel frowned slightly, his left knee feeling like it was about to dislocate.

Indeed, the highest level of beating someone wasn’t about strength but knowing where to hit to cause the most pain.

In this regard, Kayla was an expert.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

But after leaving the villa, Kayla realized she had nowhere to go. She had only one last option-

“So, you broke up with Ethaniel?”

Viola looked at the silly girl who hadn’t stopped drinking since she came in, feeling inexplicably angry. “I told you long ago, but you wouldn’t listen! Now he’s leaving for Tandoria, what are you going to do?”

Kayla buried her head in her drink, unwilling to answer.

A man’s heart, once changed, couldn’t be won back.

Besides, she didn’t care for a man whose heart had changed.

Viola sighed, seeing Kayla almost drunk. “If he’s leaving, let him go. You two were never meant to be together anyway. It’s better to part ways amicably.”

“We were never meant to be together…” Kayla smiled bitterly.

“We can’t be together…” Kayla’s smile was bitter. “Viola, do you think I’m an idiot? Why can’t I understand something so simple?”

Viola glanced at her, “You’ve never been good at handling emotions.”

Hearing Viola’s words, Kayla felt a surge of resentment. She protested loudly, “He’s just rich! It’s not his money I care about! Can he just say he loves and leaves whenever he wants? Has he ever considered my feelings? I… I…”

Halfway through, Kayla’s shoulders slumped, and her voice turned sorrowful, “I would miss him too, my heart would ache, and I would want to keep him…”

Viola had never seen Kayla so sad. She must truly love Ethaniel; otherwise, she wouldn’t be this heartbroken.

Despite her dislike for Ethaniel, Viola asked softly, “Have you ever asked him to stay?”

“No, and I don’t want to,” Kayla downed the last of her drink. “I won’t beg him. If he leaves, I won’t wait for him!”

Seeing her determination, Viola stopped persuading her and opened another can of beer to drink with her.

People in a bad mood get drunk easily, especially someone like Kayla who seldom drinks.

Viola had just started her second can when Kayla had already fallen asleep.

“… Such a lightweight.” Viola rolled her eyes, helped Kayla to the sofa, and covered her with a blanket.

After making sure Kayla was asleep, Viola grabbed her keys and went out.
