Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Mrs. Li, The CEO’s Wife (1)

Carolline Ruiz let someone kiss her for a while, until that person was satisfied enough to let her go.

"What do you want to talk about?" Bryan Hawkins released her, but still held her in his arms. Doing so was simply asking for trouble, as this kiss did not quench their feeling, but ignited it even more.

"Let’s sit and talk." How could she discuss this while being held in his arms? Carolline Ruiz wasn’t used to it.

"..." Bryan Hawkins led her to the single sofa in the room. He sat down, wanting Carolline Ruiz to sit on his lap, but Carolline Ruiz quickly sat down on the bed opposite him, pouting, "Can’t I have a hug?"

"I need to work the night shift at 8 o’clock. I don’t have time to cuddle with you. We hugged so much this morning, isn’t that enough?" Carolline Ruiz didn’t know why he was so insatiable. "This afternoon, Felicia Miller brought me some money. Um, I always wanted to say thank you—I saw the joy in the child’s parents’ eyes, and I was very happy. I know it’s all because of you."

"Are you being so polite with me?" Bryan Hawkins raised an eyebrow, not wanting her to say thank you. Ever since they had reunited, he had told her that they could have an open romance, but he had been waiting for so long without hearing her say that she loved him.

"Besides that, she also told me some things about Phoebe Miller." Carolline Ruiz continued quickly, before seeing an evident change in Bryan Hawkins’ expression.

"What did she tell you? My relationship with Phoebe Miller is already in the past. You wouldn’t be trying to settle this with me now, would you?" Bryan Hawkins was genuinely worried that Carolline Ruiz might misunderstand him again, especially with Matilda Ferguson’s matter just having blown over.

Of course, he knew that Phoebe Miller wasn’t another Matilda Ferguson, but after all, he had said that sentence before, and he didn’t care what others thought. What worried him the most now was what Carolline Ruiz thought. He was truly worried that Felicia Miller would say things she shouldn’t.

Just like what Selina Fleming told him, the reason Phoebe Miller didn’t marry was that she couldn’t have children with him. If that were the case, he was worried that Carolline Ruiz would suspect that he was with her just to have a child.

The truth was far from that. The reason Phoebe Miller remained unmarried is that not being able to have children might have been a part of it, but she also had great aspirations. Moreover, spending time with unmarried people like Selina Fleming, it was natural for her to be assimilated by them.

"No, Felicia Miller wanted to know why you suddenly married me. I couldn’t answer her, so I let her ask you." In fact, Carolline Ruiz was curious about why he had suddenly proposed marriage to her at the time. Although he later requested a secret marriage, she still wanted to know the reason.

After all, from start to finish, she only had him, but he had three love affairs. Phoebe Miller’s decision not to marry made their marriage impossible, so later he found Matilda Ferguson, and then it was her. But was he really like what he had said before, unable to let go of Phoebe Miller?

Yes, Carolline Ruiz admitted that she cared about that, especially when she heard the rumors inside the hospital, which made her feel that her happiness was built on the absence of Phoebe Miller, but if Phoebe Miller came, she would be defeated instantly.

She was also a woman, and if her marriage was based on that foundation, she needed to think hard about whether she should continue.

As Megan Clifton said, the misunderstanding that occurred five years ago shouldn’t happen again, and they needed to communicate well.

"What does this mean?" Bryan Hawkins admitted that he didn’t quite understand the meaning of Carolline Ruiz’s words.

"I mean, perhaps you should meet with her. I can see that she’s very worried about her sister." Carolline Ruiz didn’t have any siblings, only cousins, so she had always admired twin sisters or brothers who were identical and knew each other’s thoughts. "Besides, I’d like to know your current thoughts. After all, Phoebe Miller is truly excellent, and I feel like I’m far behind her."
