A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 

Queena sure had a knack for knowing when Cynthia needed her. 

Cynthia hustled out of bed and rushed downstairs. The living room’s landline receiver was off the hook, and not wanting Quern to wait too long, she quickly brought it to her ear. 

“Hello,” Cynthia said. 

No sooner had she spoken than Queen’s interrogative voice came through the line, “Cynthia, what gives? Why’d you just up and l middle of the night?”

Cynthia felt a bit awkward, not wanting to admit that Liam had whisked he 

her away and she’d woken up in th 

the car. 

After racking her brain for a good excuse, she said, “I remembered I had some things to take care of at Regalian Garden, so I headed back. I didn’t want to disturb you since you were sound asleep. I’m really sorry, Queena.“ 

Upon hearing this, Querna clicked her tongue and teased, “Cynthia, save the excuses. I know you couldn’t bear to be away from Liam, that’s why you snuck off. You guys aren’t an old married couple, but you’ve been hitched for a while now. If you can’t handle not sleeping together for one night, what will you do when you’re pregnant and can’t be together for a whole year?” 

Cynthia, initially listening intently, started to feel the conversation take a strange turn. What did Queena mean by not being together for a year while pregnant? Was she driving the conversation off a cliff? 

As Queena got more and more animated, Cynthia quickly interjected.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, What’s really on your mind?” Cynthia steered the conversation back on track. “Are you up now! My phone is still with you don’t forget to bring it when we meet up.” 

Queena’s attention was immediately diverted. She glanced around her bed and spotted Cynthia’s phone. To make sure she wouldn’t forget, she placed it next to her own phone. 

After hanging up, Cynthia quickly had a bite of breakfast, tidied up a hit, and on second thought, slipped Liam’s card into her bag 

Cynthia picked a modest car from the garage and went to pick up Queena on her way. 

When she arrived at the Yearwood residence, Queena was already waiting outside, waving cheerfully at the sight of Cynthia’s car. 

Once inside, she promptly returned Cynthia’s phone. “Here you go, I’ve charged it up for you, Queena said. 

Cynthia glanced at the phone and saw the battery was full. She complimented Queena. “I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful. 

“Of course, I am,” Queena replied, not a hint of modesty as she raised her chin. 

“Where to next?” Cynthia asked since she wasn’t as familiar with the area as Queen 

Queena pondered for a moment and then asked, “Cynthia, are you any good at spotting antiques?” 

“Are you thinking of gifting Mrs. Sullivan an antique?” Cynthia inquired, 

“Yep.” Queena nodded, her face showing signs of worry. “Vincent cut off afford anything pricey.

Cynthia drove steadily, keeping her eyes on the road, and offered some reassurance. 

“If you’re in a tight spot, you really don’t have to give a gift. Mrs. Sullivan already has everything she needs. When it comes to her birthday party, just showing up and giving her your best wishes will make her very happy.”

But Queena rejected the idea outright with a determined tone, “No way. If I say I’m going to give a gi long as Mr. Sullivan is around, she’s my family” 

Queens and her brother had been mistreated by their extended family, but they found a sense of belonging and affection with David and Jasmine, which made then feel closer to David and Jasmine than the old couple’s own kin, 

While waiting at a traffic light, Cynthia glanced at the girl’s resolute expression and decided not to argue further. She followed the GPS and drove straight to the antique street. 

At this hour, only the shops along the street were open; the small stalls on the ground wouldn’t appear until they were just looking for a gift, not trying to make a prolit, so they didn’t need many options 

The two walked into the nearest antique shop,

Chapter 406 

The antique shop was enzy, not more than four hundred square feet, but it was well–organized with an array of antiques neatly displayed.. 

There was already a customer in the store, and the owner, who was giving her a detailed introduction, noticed Cynthia and Queena and greeted them warmly. Ladies, welcome! I’m all by myself here at the moment, so please take your time and have a look around, the owner said. 

Cynthia nodded and guided Queena to the turquoise section to browse. 

Queena pointed at a ring that seemed to have some history, visible behind the glass. “Cynthia, what do you think of this one? It says it belonged to an empress from over a hundred years ago. That’s got to be quite the antique, and I heard turquoise is good for health. It must be perfect for the elderly, right?” 

Cynthia took a close look, shook her head, and whispered, “Don’t be fooled by its old look. It’s not as old as it seems, and it might not even be real turquoise.” 

“What?” Queena’s mouth dropped in surprise. “Can it be fake?”
