My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 295: I'll Wait For You 

‘Wendy is jealous.She's jealous of another woman.How interesting.’

Thinking of that, Ryan smiled in amusement at the thought of this.

However, excessive jealousy could ruin a relationship.Ryan was well aware of this.

At that moment, he got up from bed, went to the bathroom, and video called Wendy on WeChat.

Meanwhile, Wendy was lying in the bed of the hotel room, lost in thought.

A few moments had passed since she sent Ryan the message, but he had not replied yet.She checked the time on her phone.It was already 2:15 in the morning.She must be out of her mind to wait for his reply this late.

Of course, he would not reply.He must be sleeping already.

With a sigh, she decided to put down her phone and go to sleep.

Just as she closed her eyes, her phone rang.Her eyes fluttered open.

The instant she saw that it was Ryan, Wendy jumped to her feet as though she was electrocuted.

For some reason, she felt anxious when she saw his caller ID on her phone.Shit.It turns out that he's not asleep yet.' In a flash, a wave of anger washed over her.

‘If he received my message and wasn't asleep yet, why didn't he reply to my message"

Wendy pressed the answer key hard, her teeth gritting in anger.

The next second, Ryan's beaming smile appeared on the screen.She was pissed off.

He, however, seemed amused by what was happening.

"Why are you laughing?" Wendy asked with a scowl.

"Because I'm happy."

"What are so you happy about?"

"Wendy, why do you want to know about my relationship with Odette?"

"I have the right to know, don't I? Didn't you say that you want to pursue me again? If you're with someone else, I believe that that's something I should be aware of."

"Really?"

A smile flashed across Ryan's face.

"I'm serious.Why else would I ask you this?"

"For one, I think you're jealous."

Something suddenly dawned on Wendy, and her face reddened in embarrassment.

‘Damn it! As soon as she had heard what Jeffrey said about Ryan and Odette, she had sent Ryan a message without thinking.It was obvious that she was jealous.

She averted his gaze and stammered, "I...I'm not..."

Although Ryan was enjoying the moment, he decided not to push her further.

"There's nothing between me and Odette," he explained with a smile.

"Liar!" Wendy sneered.

"I've only seen her once."

"Love at first sight?" Ryan frowned.

"I didn't even see clearly what she looked like." Wendy just sneered in response.

‘Who would believe that?’

"I saw Odette five years ago when I was inspecting Glory Media.I happened to find out that she was from Spring County, so I told Kane about her.She seized the offer and opportunity without hesitation, and became famous in just a short period of time," Ryan explained patiently.

Wendy was stunned.She never expected that that was what had happened.

"Why didn't I know that Odette was from Spring County?"

She was now sitting on the bed, stunned.She and her sister had lived there for five years. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

They should have at least heard that there was a famous actress nearby.

However, that was not what mattered now.

Wendy could not care less that she and Odette were from the same county.

At that moment, she coughed slightly and shifted the topic.

"You asked someone to give her a lift in her career just because she's from Spring County?"

"Yeah," Ryan answered indifferently and leaned against the frosted door.

"I have a good impression of that place." Wendy's mouth fell open.

"That's it?"

"You don't believe me?" Ryan retorted, his eyebrows raised in amusement.

What he said stunned Wendy.

At that very moment, their eyes met, AndWendy's cheeks turned red.

She was troubled all night long, only to find out that it was just a simple misunderstanding.

Wendy cleared her throat and twisted the hem of her pajama awkwardly.

"Since you like Spring County so much, why don't you give me a lift? I lived there for five years, after all," she asked, a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"You didn't need it."

"What do you mean?"

"Why ask for a lift when you can have everything? The company can even be yours if you just say so."

Wendy, whose face was crimson red, was dumbfounded.

"Wendy..." Ryan called.

"What?" Wendy blushed, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

"Now that you know I have nothing to do with Odette, have you finally made up your mind?"

"Not so fast!" Wendy reasoned out.

"I see.I'll wait for you then," Ryan replied in a low and deep voice while deliberately lengthening the ending of the sentence.

Although what he had said was nothing out of the ordinary, it sounded flirtatious.

Wendy's ears flushed upon hearing this.

Flattered, she covered her chest and avoided eye contact with him.

"It's getting late.You should go to bed now.Don't worry about Ray and Precious.I'm taking good care of them," Ryan reassured.

"Okay."

"And take care of yourself, okay?"

"I know, I know.I'm not a kid anymore." Ryan chuckled.

"Alright.Go to sleep now.Good night."

"Wait."

Wendy's face crimsoned, and she bashfully said, "Ryan..."

"What?"

"I'll give you my answer when Ray wakes up."

Ryan's eyes lit up.This was the first time he had heard a positive and hopeful reply from her after a long time.With a gentle smile, he nodded and replied, "Okay."

The call finally ended.

But even after hanging up the call, Wendy's heart still fluttered in her chest.

As she lay in the bed, she clutched her chest with both hands and recalled what had just happened.Her face was still hot and red until now.

"Why did you give in so fast?" she scolded herself.

Well, deep inside, she was delighted.

With a new sense of tranquility in her heart, she closed her eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the ward, Ryan opened the bathroom door.

Thud! Luke, who was leaning against the door, fell to the floor.

"Ouch!"

He groaned in pain, but he got up right away.Ryan merely glanced at him.

As he was in high spirits, he just let Luke go, even though his brother had eavesdropped on his conversation with Wendy on the phone.Instead of going to the bathroom, Luke followed Ryan.

It just happened that he woke up in the middle of the night as he felt an urge to pee.

But just as he was about to go back to sleep, he heard a voice inside the bathroom.

His curiosity triggered his gossipy nature at once.He quietly got up and looked if Ryan was in bed.

As he saw that Ryan was nowhere in sight, he pressed his ear against the door of the bathroom and listened.

Unfortunately, although he could hear that Ryan was talking inside, he could not make out what Ryan was saying.

To Luke's surprise, he heard his brother laugh.Ryan seldom laughed, which piqued Luke's interest.Not only that, but his laugh sounded sincere, and it seemed as though he was really pleased about something.

Because of this, Luke could not help but be curious about what Ryan was so happy about.

"Were you talking to Wendy? Why were you two on the phone this late? Are you in a relationship now?" he asked with a smirk.

Ryan lifted the quilt and turned off his laptop without answering Luke's question.

"You were working? Are you suffering from insomnia again? You can talk to me if you can't sleep.Can you see how caring I am to you? I'm sweet, aren't I?" Luke badgered.

"Yeah."

"Then do you have anything to share with your sweet little brother?"Ryan eyed Luke, who was only wearing thin pajamas, and threw him a coat.

"I do, actually."

"What is it?"

"I'm going to visit the crew tomorrow." Luke was taken aback by Ryan's response.

"Visit? Which crew?"

"Yes.The crew of the Story of Concubine Ivanka," Ryan replied, an unusually tender expression on his face.

"Dude, it hasn't been that long since you two were apart," Luke said.

Ryan cast a scornful glance at him in response.

‘Did he just look at me with disdain? Well, yes, he just did.’ Luke knew his brother very well that he was certain Ryan just looked at him with contempt.

"You're single.What do you know?"Ryan scoffed.
