A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Veronica and Raymond did not make it to the market and went directly to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor was in Shirley's ward, giving Shirley some suggestions and telling her not to get off the bed alone. Raymond walked ahead and entered the ward.

Shirley caught Raymond with her sharp eyes and called out happily, "Raymond, you're here! I told the doctor not to call you."

Raymond did not speak. Then, Shirley looked at Veronica who had followed Raymond over. Shirley's happy face soon disappeared.

Veronica and Raymond appeared at the same time. That was like a knife sticking into Shirley's heart.

"So Ms. Luke, you're here too." Shirley tried her best to pull the corners of her mouth and squeeze out a smile.

Veronica couldn't hide the worry on her face. "Ms. Hopper, are you alright? I heard that you were injured. I wanted to see you, but... I never had the chance."

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine." Shirley's face was gentle, but a strong sense of jealousy and anger surged in her heart.

It was probably because Shirley was always alone in the ward, and it was easy to feel lonely, so... She was more sensitive and fragile than ordinary people.

In Shirley's usual days with busy work, she had never had those emotions so obvious.

"It's good that you're fine. I've been looking forward to Ms. Hopper being able to recover and leave the hospital as soon as possible."

Veronica hoped that Shirley would recover and leave the hospital as soon as possible. That should not be the case, right? Perhaps... Veronica had been cursing Shirley.

The corners of Shirley's mouth curved slightly. She responded, "I hope I can leave the hospital soon."

Veronica quickly asked Devin to stop the car midway and placed the fruit she bought from the roadside fruit shop on the table.

"Ms. Hopper, this is for you. I heard that you love eating pitaya the most. I bought two more."

Shirley glanced sideways at the brightly colored skin of the pitayas in the bag, but the color suddenly made her dizzy.

Shirley smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Since you are fine, then we..." Raymond raised his hand to look at his watch, and he already had the intention to leave.

Before Raymond could finish speaking, Veronica, who was beside him, suddenly pinched his arm and anxiously leaned over to his side to remind him in a low voice, "You're here. Aren't you gonna say something to Ms. Hopper?"

Raymond's gaze suddenly turned gloomy as he glanced at Veronica, causing Veronica's entire body to tremble. Veronica frowned in confusion.

Veronica saw that the light in Shirley's eyes dimmed a little, but Veronica couldn't help.

"I still have something to do. I'll leave you to it. I'll come to see you when I have time later," Raymond said in a formal tone.

The light in Shirley's eyes kept dimming. And she forced a decent smile.

"I know you are a busy person, so I won't keep you. I don't have anything here anyway. You should go. It's okay."

"Alright." After Raymond finished speaking, he did not hesitate to turn around and leave.

Veronica wanted to stop him, but it was too late. She could only nod at Shirley awkwardly and said, "Then I'm leaving too."

Then, Veronica walked away. Shirley could only stare at the backs of the two people, lost in thought for a long time. A dark seed was planted in her heart, slowly sprouting and growing.

Shirley remained silent but angry after that.

After leaving the ward and entering the elevator, Veronica was able to speak.

"Ms. Hopper is now injured. She is already very fragile and needs someone to comfort her. However, you left as soon as you saw her. How sad would Ms. Hopper be?" Veronica could not help but criticize Raymond.

If Raymond had said a few words just now, maybe Shirley would look happier.

Shirley was Veronica's idol. Her idol had always had a confident smile. Shirley was a shining woman in Veronica's mind.

And now, the one who could make Shirley smile was Raymond.

On the other hand, Raymond's face was already so dark that it almost turned to ash. "Veronica, have you said enough?" said Raymond.

As the elevator went down, someone came up and Veronica held back what she wanted to say.

Veronica and Raymond got out of the elevator and walked to the parking lot. Since there was no one around, Veronica continued to say what she hadn't finished just now, "Ms. Hopper was hurt because of you. You should be concerned about her. Your attitude toward her just now was obviously..."

Raymond, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, causing Veronica, who was following behind him, to suddenly bump into his sturdy back. Her face came into close contact with his back. Because of this bump, her nose was extremely sore, and the bridge of her nose was about to be broken.

"Veronica, you have been talking about Shirley. In your heart, is there no one else but her?" Raymond coldly berated, each word sharp. "What exactly am I in your heart?"

Veronica paused for a while out of surprise. Hearing Raymond's shout, Veronica's neck shrank. Then she said, "Why are you suddenly so fierce? Ms. Hopper has been my idol since I was sixteen. Of course, I care about her."

"She's your idol and I'm your boyfriend. You like her so much that you can give up your boyfriend?"

Veronica lowered her head guiltily, saying, "When did I say that?"

"That's what you did!" Raymond said coldly, "If she asked me to stay with her for a night, would you agree?"

"I..." She thought to herself, 'If Shirley really said that, I might really...'

Raymond's voice became even colder.

"Just stay here and think about it. Who am I to you?"All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

With that, Raymond strode away.

Veronica didn't know what to say.

Veronica followed closely. However, Raymond walked much faster than she did. He quickly left her far behind. She watched helplessly as Raymond got into the car. The car drove off and left Veronica on the side of the road.

Veronica thought, 'What? Leaving me behind just like that? Your temper is getting weirder and weirder.'

Veronica was still thinking about what Raymond said to her. "Think about it. Who am I to you?"

At that time, Raymond must be angry, inexplicably angry.

Veronica called Stella while waiting for the car.

Stella was watching TV and crying. When she picked up the phone, her voice was choked with tears.

However, when Veronica finished explaining the cause of the matter, Stella, who was still crying loudly, shouted, "Veronica, you are usually so smart. Why are you so stupid now? Are you really stupid or just pretending to be?"

Stella's voice was so noisy that Veronica felt a little uncomfortable. Veronica frowned and took her phone away. When Stella finished speaking, she put her phone back.

"Hey, Stella, I asked you to help me scold him. Why did you help him scold me?"

Stella continued, "Does your idol like Raymond?"

"Yes!" Veronica answered honestly.

"Don't you understand?" Stella shouted excitedly, "Raymond doesn't like Shirley. He likes you, but you actually pushed him to Shirley. That's why he's angry, idiot!"
