A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 244

In the Munn's villa, Wendy and her mother Zoe were sitting in the living room, eating iced watermelon, when Toby walked in with a bouquet of carnations.

Wendy saw her father and shouted happily, "Dad, you're back. We're eating watermelons. Come and join us."

Toby was completely stunned and didn't pay any attention to Wendy.

Zoe glanced at Toby and suddenly frowned.

"Toby, where did you get these carnations?"

Toby lowered his head to look at the bouquet in his hand and casually replied, "I went to Mom's cemetery this morning."

Hearing that Toby had gone to pay respects to Madam Cordova, Zoe's face turned ugly.

Madam Cordova had prevented Toby from marrying her in all sorts of ways. Anyway in the end, Toby married her without letting his mother know.

However, even though she had become Toby's legal wife, Madam Cordova still refused to acknowledge her as daughter-in-law and was unwilling to let her live in the Munns' old house. So she had to live in the villa outside with Toby.

They lived separately. Every time she met Madam Cordova at a banquet, Madam Cordova always ridiculed her and humiliated her in public. Therefore, Zoe and Madam Cordova had not been getting along well with each other.

Even when a few days before Madam Cordova died, Madam Cordova still accused her in public of being a mistress who had stepped into the marriage of others.

Therefore, after the death of Madam Cordova, Zoe rarely went to pay respects to Madam Cordova. Toby didn't force her to do it and went alone most of the times.

Zoe looked at the unlucky flowers in Toby's hands and said, "Didn't you go to pay respects to her? Why did you bring the flowers home?"

With Zoe's reminder, Toby woke up suddenly.

He went to pay respects to his mother. Why did he bring the flowers to his house?

He only remembered that after he went to the cemetery and learned that Quentin had been there, he frantically asked people to check the monitor. However, it only showed side face of a young man which looked like Quentin much.

Later, he went to the related department and checked the residents list of Peace City. But he did not find the name of Quentin Munn.

He had no time to go back to the cemetery and present the flowers in his hands to his mother's tombstone. So he brought them home.

"Some things have delayed me!" With that, Toby directly threw the flowers into the trash can next to him, and turned around to go upstairs.

Zoe quickly stopped him. "Wait a moment, Toby. We're eating watermelons. Why don't you come to eat with us?"

"You guys eat. I'm a little tired. I'll go up and rest first."

With that, he went upstairs directly.

Zoe looked at Toby's back in confusion, feeling that Toby's behavior today was very abnormal.

Wendy looked in the direction Toby had left, puzzled. "Mom, what happened to Dad today?"

"How would I know? Forget about him. Let us eat."

Wendy picked up a piece of watermelon and was about to stuff it into her mouth when she thought up something. She put it down again, moved to Zoe's side and held her arm.

"Mom!"

"What's up?"

Wendy had a shrewd look in her eyes. "Mom, in grandpa's will, he left ten percent of the company's shares to Audrey. He said that Audrey would inherit it on her twenty-fourth birthday. Audrey was already twenty-four years old this year, but she never showed up. It can be considered that she gave up the ten percent shares. I have already left the entertainment circle and have no income. With the ten percent shares, I would be able to strengthen my status when I marry Julian in the future. So, can you talk with dad about it?

Zoe sneered, "Don't worry. Her birthday is coming in half a month. As long as she doesn't appear before then, the ten percent shares will be yours."

"Great, thank you, Mom!" Wendy happily pressed her face against Zoe's arm.
