A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 248

On the way back, Jasmine called Liam. Even though the background wasn’t noisy, it didn’t sound like Liam was at work. “Where are you, kid Jasmine said accusingly,

Liam wondered who pissed off Jasmine tonight. He gestured to Jonathan and the others to keep their voices down, and then asked gently. “Grandma, who made you so angry?

“Who else but you, troublemaker? If you upset Cynthia, it’s like upsetting me,” Jasmine replied sternly.

“Cynthia is angry?” Liam was even more confused when he heard this. She was fine when he called her just now.

“The servant at home said Cynthia didn’t even eat dinner today. She sat alone in the yard for hours. What else could she be but angry?” Jasmine

said.

“Grandma, go back and have a look. I’ll be right back. Liam was worried. He hung up the phone and stood up to say goodbye to everyone present. “My wife is sulking. I may have to go first

Cameron looked at him with pity. Liam, you’re done. You’ve only been married for a short while. She’ll surely have you under her thumb in no

time”

Liam looked over coldly. “I would happily accept that. Do you envy meľ

“Hmph! No way!” Cameron retorted. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Remember what I just told you. Don’t mess up, Liam warned them and then said to Queena. “Don’t let it slip. Among girls, you get along well with Cynthia. You should work with Cameron in this matter.”

Queena spread her hands and promised, “Got it, Liam. I promise I’ll finish the task, and you will definitely

Liam walked out. “You guys have fim. Today’s bill is on me

surprise Cynthia.”

Meanwhile, Jasmine finally came back to the Sullivan residence. The servant hurried forward and told her what had happened today in detail. While Cynthia was cooking the soup, the servant stood beside her and overheard Cynthia on the phone. Later, seeing Cynthia lose her appetite and sit alone in the yard, the servant naturally assumed there was a conflict between Cynthia and Liam

Then, she mentioned the clam soup. This is the soup Mrs. Sullivan just re cooked and hasn’t had time to dispose of yet

Jasmine looked at the soup. Although it was re–cooked, it didn’t look different from that in the morning

Thinking that Cynthia was upset at home while Liam was fooling around outside, Jasmine got angry. She thought, They’ve just been married, and now Liam is already messing around outside behind Cynthia’s back. How did I raise such a grandson?”

The more Jasmine thought about it, the angrier she became. She immediately took out her phone and sent a photo of that pot of soup to Liam, with a text that read: [Cynthia is working hard at home cooking for someone. Are you having fun outside?]

Then, she said to the servant, “Keep it for Mr. Sullivan.”

At that moment, Liam was waiting at the traffic light. He happened to see the text message and felt warmth in his heart. He thought, “It turns out Cynthia was cooking for me at home today, but I didn’t get to eat it.‘

He thought of Cynthia’s disappointed tone when they talked on the phone that evening when she heard that he would not go home for dinner tonight. Liam suddenly hated himself a liule. I should have known about it, then I wouldn’t have let Cynthia down!

Thinking of Cynthia upset at home alone, Liam couldn’t wait any longer, and the car noticeably sped up.

In the Sullivan reudence, Cynthia had just finished washing up. She heard some noise in the living room and assumed David and Jasmine were back

She took the medical kit out of the bedroom and went downstairs, just in time to meet Jasmine, who was heading for her room.

“Cynthia, are you okay? Jasmine took Cynthia’s hand and scanned her carefully from head to toe.

“Grandma Jasmine, I’m fine. Why do you ask me that!” Cynthia was confused.

didn’t have dinner. You must be

“If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will help you,” Jasmine said, touching Cynthia’s head lovingly. “You didn’t hi hungry now. Tell Grandma what you want to eat, and I will cook it for you”

“Grandma Jasmine, it’s okay. I’m not hungry now, Cynthia said.

“You’re still putting on a brave face. Are you so upset with Liam that you didn’t even have dinnert Jasmine said.

Hearing this, Cynthia realized that Jasmine must have misunderstood. She hurriedly explained, “It’s true that I didn’t have dinner. But it wasn’t because I was angry. I was full from lunch. So I had some fruit in the evening to give my stomach a break.

Then, Cynthia took Jasmine’s arm and smiled. “But first, I want to thank you for caring about me. I didn’t argue with Liam. He just had to work overtime at the company. I’m not that petty”

Jasmine was concerned that Cynthia might be putting on a brave face just to reassure her, so she scrutinized Cynthia’s expression. She was relieved to find the other was not pretending.

Then, Cynthia waited for David to finish washing up before heading to his room to perform the nightly routine treatment.

At this time. Liam finally came back. He was stopped at the door by Jasmine before he entered the house. Jasmine looked at him tentatively and said, “Tell me. What were you doing tonight?“.

Liam felt a headache. He knew Jasmine well. David had coddled her since she was young, and there was nothing she wouldn’t dare to do. Seeing her like this, he knew that if he didn’t provide a convincing reason today, entering the door would be challenging.

But if he told the truth, Jasmine might accidentally let slip, especially since she was so close to Cynthia Then, the surprise he was planning for Cynthia would be ruined. “Grandma, I really have something to do tonight. Just let me be

*No. You told Cynthia you were working overtime, but you didn’t sound like you were at the office when I called. Honesty is crucial in a relationship. You’ve just started your marriage, and you’re already lying. I think you’re asking for trouble, Jasmine scolded Liam sternly. She didn’t want to lose such a wonderful granddaughter–in–law like Cynthia

Liam was at his wit’s end dealing with Jasmine. While he was glad his wife and family got along, Jasmine’s behavior was sometimes frustrating to deal with.

He had no choice but to swear, “I did lie to Cynthia today, but I had no choice. I needed Vincent, Cameron, and Jonathan to help me with something important that I could only discuss in person, I swear I’ve never betrayed Cynthia.”

“It’s not like it’s something shameful to be with them. Why did you hide it? If Cynthia finds out you lied to her, it will cause trouble,” Jasmine said, clearly confused.

She thought, 1 seriously can’t understand what men are thinking. David used to be like this, and now his grandson is also like this:

“I’m afraid that Cynthia will misunderstand me for not taking her to the party, Liam explained,

Jasmine walked around Liam and sniffed. She was relieved that she didn’t smell any perfume. “Okay, I’ll trust your

Then, she pointed to the clam soup on the table. “Cynthia made this especially for you. It might not taste the best, but she put a lot of effort into it It’s up to you whether you’ll eat it or not

After saying that, she ignored Liam and went upstairs.
