Chapter 1150 - 1149: Bro, You Don’t Love Sis-in-law Anymore?
The butler, Frederick Goldsmith, stands aside, watching the CEO with a dark face, and promptly speaks.
"Young Master, the young mistress is expected to return soon. Should we prepare a fruit platter or juice today?"
Better to give the CEO something to do, so he won’t sit here sulking alone.
Indeed, after hearing this question, the CEO furrows his brows and begins thinking carefully.
"Let’s prepare some fruit. Remember to put in a little more strawberry; she loves to snack on things."
"Butler Frederick, make me a cup of coffee!"
Just as Maxwell Peary finishes speaking, Evelyn Peary pushes the door open and enters.
She hasn’t even gotten in yet, but her voice arrives first.
"Okay, miss!"
After changing her shoes, Evelyn Peary heads straight to the Living Room, sits right down.
"Hey, big bro, where’s our little sister-in-law?"
Looking around, she doesn’t see the little sister-in-law who normally jumps around. It’s really strange.
"She’s not back yet."
Maxwell Peary casually replies, then picks up the newspaper from the coffee table and starts reading.
"Not back yet? Did little sister-in-law leave you? It’s already past work hours, she should have returned by now."
Evelyn Peary promptly speaks up and starts reaching for her phone to make a call.
"Don’t call, she’s driving."
Evelyn Peary: ......
So, is it more important to find our little sister-in-law?
Or is it more important not to call and disturb little sister-in-law?
Why can’t big bro figure it out at this crucial moment?
"Hey big bro, you’re doing it wrong. Are you not aware of the current time, don’t you worry about our little sister-in-law?"
Evelyn Peary is completely incredulous, speaks as she starts dialing.
"I said don’t call, why are you meddling?"
Maxwell Peary directly grabs her phone and tosses it onto the coffee table.
Evelyn Peary: ......
Fine!
No call then.
"I thought you had changed, started becoming more human, but it seems I was overthinking."
Look at him sitting here, this calm demeanor, it doesn’t look like he’s worried about our little sister-in-law.
"Big bro, did you hear what I said? You can’t act like this, little sister-in-law will think you don’t care about her, then she’ll... "
"Hey! Hey hey! Where are you going? Did you hear me?"
Seeing Maxwell Peary leave so directly makes Evelyn feel quite unhappy.
What’s going on?
Does it have to be like this?
Big bro!
Maxwell Peary ignores the noise from behind, doesn’t pay attention to the butler arriving with coffee and fruit in the Living Room, directly opens the grand gate.
Uh!
Nia Mitchell gets startled, reaches to calm her chest.
"You scared me! Uncle, how come you opened the door just then?"
Nia Mitchell’s lively voice carries over, her face rosy, without any issues.
But the expression on her face is kind of unsettling.
Nia Mitchell stands there, bewildered, keeps expressing her shock.
Really terrifying.
Imagine, you’re about to knock on a door, suddenly it opens, and someone stands there.
It’s easy to get scared like that, right?
"I opened it for you."
Maxwell Peary is unhappy, clearly he did it for her, but instead...
"At least let me know beforehand, or you could open it a bit earlier?"
How could it be so coincidental?
