10 vouchere

Whitney had just picked up a few new dishes After tasting them, she thought they tasted pretty good

She told the cook and the butler that they could have the whole day off tomorrow.

They wouldn’t have to worry about anything.

The butler Martin felt relieved.

‘Guess Mrs. Harris really likes Mr. Harris after all, he mused.

Back then, it was obvious Klein cared more about Whitney. But now, seeing Whitney put in so much effort, Martin couldn’t help but feel happy for Klein.

Martin sent a message to Klein.

[Mr. Harris, what time is your flight tomorrow night? Should I have Marco pick you up?]

Klein replied.

[Don’t bother. My flight might be delayed tomorrow, not sure yet.]

Martin paused for a moment. ‘Delayed?‘

He carefully chose his words. [Alright, I’ll let Mrs. Harris know. She’s hoping to have dinner with you tomorrow night. I’ll tell her not to wait for you.]

[Got it. I’ll be there on time.]

Once Martin got a definite answer, he went to tell Whitney, feeling quite satisfied.

“Mrs. Harris, I just talked to Mr. Harris. He said he should be back around dinner time tomorrow,” he said.

Whitney replied, “…Okay.”

‘Hope Klein doesn’t catch on,‘ she thought.

After she finished up, she went back to her room and saw a few missed calls on her phone, all from an unknown number.

Thinking it might be someone who needed her help, she didn’t think much of it and called back.

But as soon as she heard a deep male voice on the other of the phone, she instantly hung up.

Carter wasn’t ready to give up. He quickly said, “Whitney, wait! Don’t hang up. I need to talk to you. Are you really going abroad with Uncle Klein?”

Whitney froze. “Carter, where did you hear that?” she asked.

‘So you’re really leaving the country? You even took the exam. Doesn’t that mean you’re set on going? Whitney, what’s so great about going abroad anyway? Weren’t you always dreaming about making partner at the firm? I heard you already got promoted, so there’s really no reason for you to leave,” Carter said, his voice tight.

Every time Carter saw Whitney with Uncle Klein, he felt so upset.

54 am

Aming a when he wouldn’t even get to see her face made him feel even worse

That kind of pain was impossible to put into words. It was eating away at him, leaving him numb

Whitney don’t leave Please 4m begging you, Carter choked out.

Whitney took a deep breath. “Whether I’m leaving or not, it’s none of your business. I’m your uncle’s wife now and thus is the last time I’m warning you. Stop harassing me.

“And instead of worrying about me, maybe you should focus on your own wife. You two are doing the long–distance thing With all those temptations abroad, don’t you know long–distance makes cheating way too easy” she shot back

Whitney honestly had no clue what Emily was up to abroad. She didn’t have the tire or the interest to care

She only said it to get under Carter’s skin.

Carter listened to the busy tone, knowing Whitney had blocked his number again.

No matter how many numbers he tried, she’d just block him again and again.

Suddenly, Carter just hated Uncle Klein’s guts.

Uncle Klein is so damn ruthless. He already kicked Emily out. Now he’s trying to take Whitney away too?‘ Carter thought bitterly.

He called his dad and asked, “Dad, when is Uncle Klein coming back from his business trip?”

‘I heard he should be back around six or seven tomorrow night. Why, what do you need him for?” George asked.

Carter’s eyes narrowed. He was dead set on confronting Uncle Klein in person.

When Klein got Martin’s message, it put a smile on his face

Ryan shot Klein a plaintive look. “Boss, you’re just gonna leave me here?” he couldn’t believe it.

“Yeah, you stick around and entertain them. I’ve got things to do,” Klein said.

Ryan was a total lightweight, but Klein didn’t even hesitate. He was out the door in a flash.

“I’ll give you a bonus point for this!”

Ryan’s attitude instantly changed. ‘Sure thing, boss, take care! I’ll handle everything here. If I end up in the ER just call 911 for me, alright?”

Klein rolled his eyes. “It’s not that serious. Just tell them you’re on antibiotics, doctor’s orders, no drinking. Alright, til bump your bonus by two points this month. Don’t push your luck. That’s all you’re getting.

Ryan said with a big smile. ‘Got it, boss! Thanks a lot. Safe travels!”

As Klein boarded the plane, he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of surprise Whitney had in store for him

His bethday had already come and gone.

I wasn’t their anniversary either.

Our Vondr day together was way in the past.

And it defrutely wasn‘ her birthday

Klein ran through every possible special day in his rind, but none of them made ense

Still, he couldn’t wipe the grin off his face. This was ortly the second time Whitney had ever tried to surprise him and the first was for his birthday.

He’d definitely play dumb and act like he didn’t suspect a thing

With his heart pounding with excitement, he stepped off the plane.

Carter was already waiting at the exit, looking composed. “Uncle Klein.”

Klein frowned. “What are you doing here? Are you going to see your wife?”

“No,” Carter met his gaze without flinching. ‘Uncle Klein. I came just to talk to you.”

Klein smirked. “What do you want? Begging me about your wife again? I told you, she’s not coming back.”

“No,” Carter cut him off. “That’s not what I’m here for. Uncle Klein. I want to know, why are you going to take her abroad?”

Klein narrowed his eyes, a sharp edge in his gaze. “Who are you talking about?”

“Cut the act, Uncle Klein. You know exactly who I mean. She already took the language exam. How long do you think you can keep this from me? Carter shot back.

Klein’s face turned cold. She already took the language exam!” he was stunned.

‘She took the language exam? And she didn’t even tell me? Klem thought, feeling a sudden pang in his chest.

Klein’s eyes were deadly sharp. “I don’t owe you an explanation.”

“Uncle Klein, you need to tell me the truth!” Carter demanded, his voice tight with frustration.

Klein’s voice was cold and intimidating. “Get lost!”

“Carter, don’t blame me if I ship you off abroad too!” Klein snapped.
