Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 58

Christian's smile stiffened. He cleared his throat and schooled his expression back to being cold and solemn. He then said, "I'm leaving. I need to go home and cook for my wife."

After saying that, he grabbed the coat that he had draped over his chair and walked out of the room in wide strides. He looked like he was scrambling away.

Christian's behavior stunned Linda. She hadn't even submitted her work reports to him. After a while, she sighed helplessly and left with him.

…

When Annie got home, she found dinner already on the table. Christian turned around upon hearing the door open. "You're home. Wash your hands, and we'll eat," he said.

Annie walked up to him, smiling, and placed her handbag on the couch.

"I joined EVL today," she said cheerfully as she approached him. "You don't need to drive me to work anymore. I can travel to and from work on my own."

Then, she added as if she just recalled something, "EVL and Parker Group's headquarters are in different buildings.

"People from other branches are not allowed to wander the building without official business. So, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other at the office anymore."

She was just stating a fact, but Christian froze. He turned and suddenly took one step closer to Annie.

His tall frame overshadowed hers. He leaned in close to Annie's ear and asked, "Are you saying that you want to see me in the office every day?"

Annie's heart skipped a beat as he was way too close to her!

"I'm not! I didn't say that!" she instinctively retorted, though her cheeks burned.

"I just think that it's nice to have someone I know in the office with me." To hide her panic, she impulsively reached out to pat his head.

"Be good, now." She was stunned by her own words.

Christian was just as stunned. At that moment, Annie wished that she could just crawl into a hole and die.

Because of Cecilia, the elders of the Frost family had summoned Helena back to Frost Manor to yell at her.

Mosaic Studio was initially one of the companies that Frost Group cared the least about. However, Roxanne was so stubborn that she quietly reported the matter to the company's headquarters.

All of this happened simply because Cecilia couldn't let go of her personal grudge, causing the studio to lose a major collaboration with EVL and, subsequently, Parker Group.

Now, even the headquarters was alerted. In the end, the one who bore the brunt of her mistake was Helena, her boyfriend's mother.

Helena was the wife of the head of the family. She had never been treated like this.

From her view, Cecilia was worse than Annie in every way. She didn't know what her son saw in Cecilia.

On the couch, Sean was watching the news. When he heard the commotion, he frowned. "What's wrong, Mom?"
