My Bossy CEO Husband

In the end, Wendy got into Ryan's car.
Since Precious had just gone through an operation to donate her bone marrow to Raymond, Wendy was worried that she would
be having some discomfort, so she insisted that Precious be kept in the hospital for observation for a few more days.
Ryan was in a good mood, so he gave Luke a day off from work and asked him to accompany Precious.
Therefore, Ryan and Wendy went downstairs alone.They stayed in a suite on the top floor, where there was a private
elevator.The two of them walked into the elevator side by side.The doors closed, leaving the two of them alone in a confined
space.
Standing in the silence, Wendy felt a little awkward.
This was the first time that she had found herself alone with Ryan after learning that he was Raymond's father.
She didn't say anything, and neither did Ryan.
With her backpack on her back, Wendy leaned against the wall behind her and closed her eyes slightly, wanting to avoid eye
contact with Ryan.
But even with her eyes closed, she could sense Ryan's piercing eyes boring into her.
After a while, she found it impossible to ignore him.
Feeling uncomfortable under his burning gaze, she opened her eyes and reluctantly met his.
Pursing her lips, she asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
"It's been a long time since I had a good look at yours Ryan replied without skipping a beat.Wendy, who hadn't expected such a
response from him, instantly blushed.
‘What? Why is he being so forward?’ Wendy nervously avoided his gaze and cleared her throat.
"It's not like I had plastic surgery or something.What's there to look at? I still look the same as before."
"No, you don't."
"What?"

"You've gotten thinner."
There was a flicker of surprise in Wendy's eyes, and she touched her face subconsciously.She studied her reflection in the wall
of the elevator carefully.She was dressed in a dress that was cinched at the waist, covered by a straight coat.
Looking at her waist, which was eye-catchingly small, she realized that Ryan was right.
"Well, good! There's no need for me to lose weight, ' she thought happily.
But just then, Ryan quipped, "I still like the way you looked before."
Once again, color spread to Wendy's cheeks.
‘He is so forward! What am I supposed to say to that?’ She felt as if the elevator was descending more slowly than usual, and
subconsciously tapped her toes against the floor.
As if noticing how tense she was, Ryan spoke up.
"Oh yeah, Roger applied for an apartment for you."
Wendy turned to look at Ryan with questioning eyes.
"Kane has agreed," he agreed.
Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Thank you!"
She knew that since Ryan knew about the matter, he must have been the one who had given Kane permission to go ahead.
"Wendy, you don't have to be so formal with me," Ryan chided.
Wendy smiled but said nothing.
Ever since the fact that Ryan was Raymond's biological father had come to light, a chasm seemed to have come between the
two of them.
Before Ryan could say anything more, the elevator reached the first floor, and the doors opened.

Ryan walked out of the elevator and headed straight to the parking lot.
Quickly putting on her sunglasses and her mask, Wendy followed him quietly.
The chemistry between the two of them was palpable.
Although they walked one after another, they looked like a couple.
"Ryan, the hospital is not far from set.How about I take a taxi there by myself? You'll have to make a detour if you drive me there
before going to work."
But by the time she finished speaking, Ryan had already opened the door of the passenger seat for her.
"It's okay.I promised Precious that I will drop you off."
Wendy sighed inwardly, thinking, ‘Didn't he say that just to coax Precious? Why does he have to be so serious about it? Under
his calm gaze, she bit her lower lip and reluctantly sat in the passenger seat.
After getting into the driver's seat, Ryan started the car and began driving forward.
To avoid any awkwardness, Wendy turned on some music, and then took out her phone, which showed a black screen.
It was only then that she remembered that she had turned off her phone after the press conference yesterday in order to avoid
dealing with calls from reporters.
She hurriedly turned on the phone to see if she had missed anything important.The moment the phone screen lit up, it began
buzzing incessantly.
Looking at the number of missed calls she had gotten, Wendy inhaled sharply.
There were more than a hundred missed calls, as well as a lot of messages.
Although she had expected to see a few missed calls, this was unbelievable.Her phone had never been so busy before.
When she opened her call log, she realized that most of the missed calls were from Jeffrey.She could almost imagine how
anxious he must have been after getting no response from her.
Therefore, she called him immediately.

Not even a single ring had finished when the line was connected.
Before Wendy could speak, Jeffrey's voice rang like a machine gun.
"Wendy, where the hell have you been? You're lucky that you called me before 24 hours passed.Otherwise, I would have filed a
missing persons report with the police! Tell me, what's going on? I waited for you outside your house the whole night, but you
didn't show up at all!"
"Well—"
"You're so cruel! I'm your ex-boyfriend.
How can you not tell me anything after what happened to you? If I hadn't seen the news, would you have continued to hide it
from me? What the hell, Wendy? Are you trying to piss me off?"
"-"
"Damn it! Achoo! You're so heartless, you know that? I was so worried about you that I stood in the freezing outdoors the whole
night.Now, I can't even feel my legs.I called you so many times, but you didn't answer.You didn't reply to my messages either.Do
you know how anxious I was?"
Wendy gulped nervously.
She tried to explain herself, but Jeffrey didn't give her a chance at all.
Moreover, his voice was so loud that it almost tore through her ear drums.
Wincing, she held her phone far away.
As a result, Ryan heard everything.
As Ryan listened to Jeffrey's words, his face darkened.He silently made a note of this in his head.
‘How dare you scold the mother of my children? I'll get even with you later.'
As for Wendy, she was at a loss for what to say, and just stayed silent.
Seeing that there was no response from her, Jeffrey shouted, "Hello? Aren't you going to say anything?"

Wendy rolled her eyes and snapped, "How can I say anything? You keep talking over me!"
"I hate you," Jeffrey cursed, gritting his teeth.
But hearing those three words, Wendy felt warmth envelop her.
Even though Jeffrey was scolding her left and right, she knew that he was only doing it because of how much he cared about
her.
Her eyes softened as she raised the phone back to her ear.
"You're back?"
"How can I not come back after what happened to you? I'm your ex-boyfriend!"
The corner of Wendy's mouth twitched in amusement.
‘Exactly, you are just my ex-boyfriend.Why do you still care about me so much?’
Sitting cross-legged in the leather seat, Wendy teased with a smile, "Jeffrey, you still care about me so much.
Does that mean you want to get back together with me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jeffrey stammered.
"I'm just kidding.Why are you so nervous?"
"Wendy, are you five? How can you joke around like this?" Wendy chuckled lightly.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry."
The two of them chatted for a while more before Jeffrey asked, "Wendy, where are you now? I want to see you."
"Well, I—"
Before Wendy could finish her sentence, Ryan suddenly hit the brakes, making the rest of her words die in her throat.
If Wendy hadn't fastened the seat belt, her head would have hit the front windshield of the car.She turned her head and shot
Ryan a sharp glare.

Deliberately raising his voice, Ryan said, "I'm sorry! There was a stray cat in the way just now."
Jeffrey's voice abruptly stopped.
After a while, he asked tentatively.
"Wendy, was that Uncle Ryan's voice? Is he with you right now?"
