Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 57

After sleeping for nearly three hours, Sharon woke up to see Kelley standing beside her bed with a grin. 

Surprised, Sharon sat up on the bed and looked at Kelley questioningly. 

"Miss, I bet you're hungry. Luckily, Sir ordered me to prepare some chicken soup for you in advance." Kelley said, bringing her a bowl of soup. 

Slowly stirring it with a spoon, Kelley scooped a mouthful for Sharon. "Sir treats you the kindest in the entire Lefebvre family. Just look at how attentive he is to you."

Sharon bit her tongue. "Must I hear how nice he is to me the first thing when I wake up?" she thought.

...

Right now, the last name she wanted to hear was his! 

Sharon grimaced, peering at the soup Kelley brought to her lips. She murmured, "Did Master Leonard ask you to prepare this?"

"That's right. Sir wanted to prepare it himself, but he received a phone call and had to leave immediately. Miss, I have to admit that Sir treats you really well." Kelley replied.

Sharon squinted at Kelley dubiously. "Kelley, tell me honestly. Did Master Leonard bribe you? Why are you always putting in a good word for him?" 

Erm...

Kelley's smile stiffened and babbled. "What are you talking about? Don't you think he treats you very well?" 

Sharon pouted and mumbled under her breath. "Since when? He's not nice to me at all."

Kelley watched Sharon sulking and chuckled. "You should eat, Miss."

Sharon was famished, and after what happened, she wanted to take good care of herself. 

She opened her mouth and accepted the soup. 

The spoonful of soup instantly aroused her appetite. She snatched the bowl from Kelley and gobbled it down.

Kelley smiled at her wryly. "Slow down. There's still more."

Sharon glanced at Kelley. With a pout, she humphed. "Kelley, you're on my side, so you musn't side over with Master Leonard even if he bribes you!" 

Kelley smiled but said nothing, since someone had her by the throat.

...

Sharon patted her belly after she finished the bowl of soup. She peered at Kelley questioningly. "Did you say that Master Leonard went out?"

"Mm-hmm." Kelley nodded and asked, "Would you like some more?"

"Yes." Sharon answered immediately. 

...

Kelley smiled. "I'll go get more. Wait here."

Sharon pondered for a moment and decided. "I'll go down with you."

Kelley smiled again. "All right."

Sharon blushed. She lifted the covers and got out of bed, about to walk down barefooted.

"Miss, here you go." Kelley bent over and placed the bedroom slippers beside her feet, glancing at her knowingly. 

Sharon stuck her tongue out, but put it on obediently.

......

Downstairs, Sharon drank another two more bowls of soup. 

Sharon leaned back on the sofa and patted her stomach, satisfied.

She glanced around the villa and suddenly stilled, sadness appearing in her eyes. 

Kelley emerged from the kitchen carrying washed grapes and saw Sharon's head hanging low with disappointment. 

Kelley's heart tightened. She walked over, placed the fruits on the console table and sat down beside her. 

After a moment of silence, Kelley turned to Sharon and suggested. "Shall I accompany you to the garden, Miss?"

Sharon shook her head, got up, and headed upstairs.

Kelley looked up and asked, "Miss, would you like to have some fruit before you go?"

Sharon just walked up without replying and entered her room. 

Kelley watched her and sighed silently. 

......

At almost six in the evening, Leonard returned home, surrounded by a cold aura. 

He removed his black leather gloves and handed them to Kelley. Taking off his dark grey down jacket, he asked Kelley, "Where's Sharon?" 

"She's in her room," replied Kelley.

Glancing upwards, he passed his jacket to Kelley and headed upstairs. 

Leonard knew she wouldn't be in his room, so he walked towards her room instead. 

Leonard was about to turn the doorknob when he paused. 

His eyes flickered. He released the doorknob, raised his hand, and knocked. 

...

Leonard waited for a moment, but there was no response. 

Leonard pressed his lips together. This time, he directly opened the door. 

...

When the door opened, Leonard's eyes immediately went to the pink bed in the room. A breeze came through the open door and ruffled the bed canopy, exposing the empty bed. 

Leonard frowned, his eyes darkening as he surveyed the room. 

When he realised Sharon was not there, he tightened his grip on the doorknob before releasing it. 

He dashed to his room and opened the door, but there was still no sight of Sharon. 

Leonard's face darkened. Slamming the door with a bang, he turned around and hastened downstairs. 

Kelley had just hung his coat up when she heard the heavy footsteps. 

Her heartbeat quickened, and she turned around in confusion. 

When she saw him running down furiously, her heart skipped a beat.
