CEO's Revengeful Queen novel Chapter 28

The little girl sniffled and obediently nestled in the man's arms.

The man lowered his head and let go of her wet and sticky hair, which had been dampened by her tears. He swept his black eyes over her red-rimmed eyes, catching every delicate expression she made.

In the past, no matter how much this little girl fussed, he only needed to use violence to force her to stay by his side.

But now, the little girl had suddenly become as good as gold.

Ethan's stared deeply at Annetta as he thought, "Annetta White, no matter what you do, you can never leave me again." 

Annetta, buried in Ethan's embrace, clearly felt the pressure from the man's stare. However, she did not dare to move. She knew that Ethan needed time to accept her sudden change. 

The car arrived at the Harris residence half an hour later.

Just as Ethan was about to carry her off the car, Annetta straightened herself and said, "Wait, Ethan, let me go down by myself."

After saying this, Annetta squirmed out of Ethan's embrace.

Ethan got out of the car and saw Annetta standing in front of him in her gown. She smiled brightly at him and said, "Ethan, do I look good in this outfit? I purposely wore this for you!" 

The little girl stood tall and straight in all her exquisite beauty, smiling seductively at him. Ethan had never seen such a lively and cute Annetta before. He stared blankly for a moment before saying, "You look really good."

Annetta happily walked to his side and took his arm upon hearing his affirmation, "As long as you like it! Let's go home!"

"Okay." Just as Annetta was about to go in with him,

Ethan glanced at Howard and said coldly, "Go and punish yourself." 

"Yes sir!"

It was Howard.

Annetta pursed up her lips and picked up an umbrella from the porch. Just as she was about to go out, she stopped and hung another umbrella on her arm. She opened her umbrella and walked towards him.

Since it was about two o'clock in the morning, judging by his drenched figure, he had evidently been standing there since their return.

Was this the so-called punishment?

Annetta looked at the man and smiled, "Howard, aren't you tired of standing there?"

Howard's expression did not change at all.

Annetta knew that Howard used to be a special forces soldier and had started to work for Ethan after his retirement from the military force. She did not know what had happened between the both of them. All she knew was that Howard was fiercely loyal to Ethan after that incident.
