Super Sweetheart of the CEO Daddy -
Chapter 899
A-fter teasing her for a while, the man finally entered the bathroom satisfied. Elizabeth Jones's tightened breath finally relaxed.
She sneakily walked to Joshua Wayne's two bedside tables, opened the drawer and searched, but he didn't put the phones inside. She frowned, and tried to imagine where Joshua Wayne could possibly hide. Would it be in his cloakroom? Elizabeth Jones slipped into the cloakroom, opened quite a few drawers to take a look, but did not replace her phone.
"No way, did he throw it away?" Elizabeth Jones looked confused.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a faint voice came from behind her. "What are you looking for?"
Elizabeth Jones jumped in shock and turned around. She saw that the man was wearing only a white bath towel and her short hair was still dripping water.
"No "It's nothing!" Elizabeth Jones nervously clenched her fists, her pair of beautiful eyes wildly flashing.
Joshua Wayne took a towel and wiped the water droplets that had landed on his handsome face. His dangerous black eyes narrowed: "Are you looking for your phones?"
Elizabeth Jones's heart was stuck. No way, is this man a god? He can even guess out what I am thinking. "Yes, can you return them to me now?" Since he knew it, Elizabeth Jones could only admit it. Joshua Wayne walked step by step until he was in front of her. It was unknown whether it was because his handsome face was stained with water droplets, causing people to feel cold.
"Do you have news of your aunt?" A flash of light passed through Joshua Wayne's eyes, and he stared at her even more closely.
Elizabeth Jones bit her lower lip and shook her head: "No, I just wanted to see if she would send me any messages!"
Hearing her words, Joshua Wayne turned around and walked towards his study.
Elizabeth Jones pressed down on her chest with one deep breath. She hesitated for a second, but still followed him quickly.
Inside Joshua Wayne's study, there was a safe deposit box. The man stood in front of it, and quickly typed in a string of codes. The door of the safe was opened, and Joshua Wayne took out two mobile phones and placed it on the table: "Take a look!"
"Can I really look?" Elizabeth Jones was in disbelieves, she had actually given it back to her so easily.
"As long as you promise, you won't lie to me anymore. You will not keep any secret between us forever." The man's voice was very soft, giving off a feeling of sincere trust.
Elizabeth Jones was startled, she held the phones in her hand, then suddenly put it down: "Forget it, the phone should be in your custody, only then will you be at ease!" "Weren't you looking for them?" Seeing her pick them up and put them down, Joshua Wayne's beautiful eyes darkened.
Elizabeth Jones looked into his eyes gently: I originally wanted to look for him, but now I don't!
"If you have your aunt's whereabouts, tell me back, right?" Joshua Wayne's voice was low and hoarse, making people unable to bear to go against him.
Elizabeth Jones's heart was thumping nonstop.
She had just seen her aunt outside the residential complex. Should she tell him?
But what if she was mistaken?
Yes, I must be dizzy. That can't be my aunt's. She knows that it is very dangerous at home, so it's impossible for her to come back.
"I don't know where she is right now. I also want to replace her as soon as possible." Elizabeth Jones sighed softly. Thinking about how her aunt had been missing for so long, she felt uneasy. Joshua Wayne walked in front of her, and lightly lifted her fair chin as he said this. "You've gotten skinnier recently!"
Elizabeth Jones's breath tightened, as she let his fingers rub on her chin without moving an inch.
"It's really hard for you!" Joshua Wayne loves her dearly though he had not felt any sort of warmth since childhood. Now, he even has to care about her business. Elizabeth Jones always thought that she was very strong, but when he was caring her, she was so weak that it seemed like she would cry at any moment.
"Go take a bath, rest early!" Joshua Wayne didn't want to make her cry, so when he saw her teary eyes, his heart was in a mess.
Elizabeth Jones acknowledged her presence and quickly went to the bathroom. Inside the water, her chest was still stuffy and her eyes were blazing hot.
Early morning, Elizabeth Jones originally wanted to go to the company with Joshua Wayne, but on the way, she suddenly thought of something and lied to Joshua Wayne that something had been forgotten in her house. She needed to go back to get it.
Joshua Wayne had a lot of things to do in his company, so he lent her his car. Elizabeth drove back to her old residence. Just as she was about to reach the elevator, she heard a familiar voice calling her
name.
Elizabeth Jones's body trembled, she suddenly turned around, and saw that his aunt was indeed hiding in a corner, waving her hands.
In the past, Aunt had always paid attention to her outer appearance, but now, Aunt had obviously aged a lot. Furthermore, her face no longer had any makeup on, and her skin was already severely sunken. "Aunt!" Once Elizabeth Jones opened her mouth, tears began to roll down her face.
"Eliza, is your arm ok?" April Jones suddenly walked over, and anxiously went to check on her injured left hand.
Elizabeth Jones allowed her to look, and looked at her with a pained and sorrowful gaze, and choked with sobs: "Last night, did you go to the entrance of Joshua Wayne's residence? I see you!"
"Yes, I went. I originally wanted to wait for you at the entrance of the district, but unfortunately, for the next few days, you went in and out of the district with Joshua Wayne, so I didn't have the chance to stop you. However, I knew that you saw me yesterday, so I ran over here early in the morning to wait for you!" April Jones laughed bitterly.
"Aunt, come sit at home and chat with me!" Elizabeth Jones hurriedly brought her back to her small house.
April Jones was finally at ease. She slumped onto the sofa, completely exhausted.
"The days of running for my life are not easy. I am going to die of exhaustion!" April Jones heaved a sigh of relief, she wished that she could sit here and take a nap to ease the tension in her scalp. Elizabeth Jones poured a cup of water for her, then asked: "Aunt, do you want to eat something?
"Is there anything to eat? I'm really a little hungry now!" April Jones sat up.
"I'll go downstairs and buy you something to eat. Wait for me!"
"Alright, you go!" April Jones nodded.
Elizabeth Jones hurriedly took her bag and went out. She anxiously packed a few bags, and when she pushed open the door, she found that her aunt was already asleep on the sofa. Elizabeth Jones looked at her aunt's fatigued appearance and felt her heart ache.
She really didn't know what had happened to her over the past few days, but she must be very tired.
An hour later, April was woken up by the sound of a phone ringing.
Elizabeth Jones's cell phone rang. It was Joshua Wayne who called to urge her to back.
Elizabeth Jones hurriedly answered: "Joshua Wayne, I might be going to eat lunch with my mother. I'll come back to the company in the afternoon, okay?"
Joshua Wayne did not force her and agreed.
