A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 723

'However, I don't remember that Mr. Cordova ever had a happy expression on his face,' Devin thought, so he believed that Raymond must be pleased with his quick response.

"Mr. Cordova, I moved fast, didn't I? Don't worry. In less than twenty minutes, all the news on the Internet will be deleted." Devin proudly claimed credit for the abrupt disappearance of the news.

"When I want you to move quickly, you dawdle. You are very active when I need you to do nothing!"

'Did I make a mistake?' Devin wondered. What Raymond had said confused Devin, so he asked, "Mr. Cordova, shouldn't I delete the news?"

Raymond hung up the phone as his answer.

Devin looked at his phone and scratched the back of his head.

Devin thought, 'So, why did Mr. Cordova call? I don't understand what he wants.

He must have reached a different level. A mortal like me couldn't understand a single word he said.'

Devin continued his talk with others on the phone. "Hey, did you hear what I just said? Immediately delete the news. Otherwise, our cooperation will be canceled!"

Raymond still looked bad after hanging up the phone.

Ted looked at Raymond through the rearview mirror and asked carefully, "Mr. Cordova, what's wrong?"

"Just drive!"

Ted obediently shut his mouth.

...

Veronica didn't want to sleep anymore after her interaction with a stranger on Weibo. She got up, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. Then, she began her listening exercises.

When it was almost ten o'clock, there came a call.

Veronica answered the call at the sight of the name of the caller, Winy. She said respectfully, "Hello, Mrs. Comte."

Winy's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. "Veronica, how are you? Are you alright?"

"Thank you for asking, Mrs. Comte. I am fine. Thank you for what you did the night before yesterday."

"I won't feel relieved till I see you with my own eyes. I have time at noon. What do you think of having lunch with me?" Winy asked.

'Mrs. Comte helped me out, sent me to the hospital, and even paid the medical expenses for me. I should take advantage of this opportunity to repay the medical expenses.' Veronica thought.

"Alright, where should we meet?" Veronica asked.

...

Veronica got changed. She wore a short T-shirt and jeans with a ponytail.

Stella just woke up when Veronica left for lunch. Stella scratched her messy hair, waved at Veronica, and then closed the door with her sleepy eyes.

Veronica and Winy almost arrived at the appointed place at the same time. They smiled at each other and then went into the restaurant together.

The waiter of the restaurant came over to greet his clients. He said after one glance at both Veronica and Winy, "Wow, you, mother and daughter, look quite alike!"

'Mother and daughter?' Both Veronica and Winy thought.

They couldn't help smiling at each other again.

Veronica explained to the waiter with a smile, "I am not her daughter!"

"Really?" The waiter shifted his gaze between Veronica and Winy with surprise. "Isn't she your mother? However, the two of you look so alike. I thought you were mother and daughter."
