Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485
Obviously, I wasn’t the least bit interested in the good news Carson was about to share with me. Still, trying to quell my disgust, I asked, ‘What’s the good news?’
‘It’s about our company. Previously, it received reliable news and stocked batches of raw materials. Now that the cost of raw materials has increased, heaps of learnings!’
Somehow I got the feeling that the amount Carson mentioned was probably not going to be just millions. Hearing that, I couldn’t help but peek at Eric. Looking at the sailboat from afar, he seemed uninterested in the conversation between Carson and me.
Perhaps the stockpile of raw materials has something to do with Eric? Then again, I could be wrong as it would make no sense for Eric to allow Carson to earn that much. Feeling frustrated inside, I still had to pretend to look happy by congratulating Carson. ‘Really? Congratulations!’
‘How I would like to celebrate with you! Honey I miss you. When will you return?’
In the old days, whenever Carson closed a deal, I was the first to know and we celebrated together. At that time, I was always very happy and thought I had found a very capable husband. Now, I just felt disgusted. ‘I will be back soon!’
‘How long? Baby, don’t you miss me? You’ve been away for so long. I’ve been dreaming about you every day and I miss you so much!’
That disgusting idiot spent every day with Jolene, but did he dare say he dreamed of me? ‘I miss you too, but I haven’t finished my work here. I’ll be back as soon as everything is resolved.
Honestly, I was reluctant to say that I missed him, but I had said it in the past, so it would be very unusual if I didn’t say it that way. After I said that, I glanced at Eric, only to see him turn and walk away. Feeling guilty, I simply thought of an excuse to end the call. ‘Husband, my phone is dying. I have to leave now.’
After I hung up the phone, I saw that Eric had walked a good distance. I immediately ran up to him and gave him a careful look. As expected, Eric made a poker face. ‘Why did you leave without waiting for me?’ I whimpered in an attempt to break the silence.
‘Should I stick around to witness how affectionate you two are?’ Then he gave me a half smile and a look devoid of warmth in his eyes.
‘I had no other way.’
‘Do you expect me to be understanding of your situation?’ With a sigh, Eric said unhurriedly. ‘Lilian, I don’t care how you act in front of others, but in front of me, you must remain the Lilian that I like. No more next time. Never answer his call in front of me again, understand?
After saying that, he continued to walk forward. Startled, I stood there gaping at the back of his figure. He is angry? Why is he being so possessive?
