Chapter 17 Call him Husband

Edwin Carter sat upright, keep eating gracefully as usual. He did not talk much nor did he say whether it was good or bad. After getting along with him for a few days, Jane has known that he doesn’t have many words, and she gets used to it. They finished their meal at the same time. She saw that Edwin Carter’s face was not looking well. She gets worried, "Edwin Carter, what’s wrong with your face?" "It’s all right." Edwin Carter got up and said, "I’m going out for. I may not be back in the night." Jane looks at him and said sadly: "Stay safe!" Edwin Carter returned to his room and took a coat. He left quickly without saying a word. Downstairs, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a telephone: "Drive me to the hospital right away." ... On Monday, Edwin Carter phoned Jane after a night’s absence to tell him that he was on a business trip and that Jane had new projects to prepare for. Deana Brad announces that the leaders of Star Enterprises liked Jane’s last plan very much, so they assigned Jane as the head of this project and asked her to submit a preliminary plan in three days. Within three days, it’s absolutely not easy to submit a plan that satisfies the other party. Jane is a person who is very strict with her work. She can’t do anything else when he plunges into his work, and she is too busy to even take care of her meals. At noon, Wilson Paul came over and looked at Jane with some distress: "Jane, let’s go out for lunch together." "You people go. I have to do some work" Jane without raising her head said to them. He has been working with Jane for three years. But didn’t know about Jane’s word. He put his hand on the computer’s mouse and said, "Jane, come to lunch first and after that complete your work?" Jane pulled back his hand then looked up at Wilson Paul. When she looked at him, she felt something wrong, as if she saw some feelings in Wilson Paul’s eyes. She thinks for a moment her mind. It seems that there are some things she must let Wilson Paul know and not let the misunderstanding go on. She pressed the standby button and got up. "Let’s go." This is the first time that Jane agrees to have lunch with him. Wilson Paul was secretly happy. He chose a simple restaurant with a quiet environment to take Jane for a meal. Wilson Paul ordered several expensive dishes and did not ask Jane whether she liked it or not. Then he looked at Jane with a smile. Jane understands his intentions but pretends not to understand. She wanted to call Edwin Carter at this time. She was in her thoughts that her mobile phone actually rang. Jane smiled apologetically at Wilson Paul before answering, "Husband, I am out for a meal with my colleagues, you don’t have to worry about me." "Jane, seriously, you are flaunting in front of me, don’t you?" Laura Ferdinand at the other end of the phone said discontentedly. Jane smiled softer: "Yes, I know, I’ve done what you said, and I won’t skip meals. If you don’t believe it, the dishes will be served later. I’ll take a picture for you. " Laura Ferdinand and Jane have been friends for so many years. They know each other as they know herself. If you don’t hear anything at this moment from her then it’s not Laura Ferdinand. Therefore, Laura Ferdinand also cooperated with Jane saying: "Okay baby comes back early in the evening. Your husband is waiting for you to warm the bed." Jane changed her coy smile: "Don’t talk so sarcastically." After that, she simply hung up the phone, but as she hung up there came another call. This time it is her real husband, Edwin Carter! Jane in a slight surprise, look at Wilson Paul, she was so embarrassed to laugh before answering: "Hello?" Edwin Carter’s deep and sexy voice came from his mobile phone: "Lunch is ready. Why didn’t you come over?" Jane cannot answer him that she had her lunch because it was she just has said in front of Wilson Paul during pretending on the first call. She just gritted her teeth and said sweetly, "Husband, I will take good care of myself, so don’t worry about it." After Jane said that, there was a long silence at the other end of the telephone, so silent that she thought that Edwin Carter hung up the phone. Even after a while, she didn’t hear Edwin Carter’s voice. She was not sure what Edwin Carter would think of her. It took a long time to hear Edwin Carter’s deep voice coming from his mobile phone: "I’m not coming back until Thursday. Take care of yourself." "Okay." Jane sight with a relief, it’s lucky that Edwin Carter comes back after a few days later. She hopes when he comes back, he will not remember it. Wilson Paul was hurt when he heard Jane’s first husband call. After Jane hung up the phone, he asked, "Jane, are you married?" Jane nodded and said, "Marriage at this age should not be a strange thing." Wilson Paul could not speak the words he had prepared, but he just grinned sadly and said, "Bless you." Although he was interested in Jane, he felt in his heart that he is not worthy of Jane. It was a good thing for him to comfort himself that Jane had a good future. Jane smiled and said thank you and praised her wit. Before Wilson Paul spoke out, let him know that she is married. Now they can work as well as before and the situation also won’t be embarrassing. Nevertheless, that evening Jane feels how smart she is. At night when she was sleeping in a muddle, she felt that there is a person sitting beside her. She was so sleepy to wake up when she smelled the aroma of the breath of a familiar man. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked at the man sitting by the bed surprisingly. "You, you said you didn’t come back until Thursday?" Edwin Carter responded calmly: "There is a matter I need to handle, so I came back, I will fly to Xiaoshan this morning." His original work was to be completed on Thursday, but since she heard from her wife that she was missing him, as her husband he cannot ignore this. After a phone call with Jane, he asked his assistant to book an evening ticket and a next morning ticket. So he can fly back to work early tomorrow. Remembering her phone call, Jane blushed and scratched her head. "Did you have your dinner or didn’t?" Shall I go and cook some supper? Edwin Carter was in a meeting at 8 p.m. and then went to the airport to catch a flight back to Jiangbei at 10 p.m. It takes more than two hours to fly from Xiaoshan City to Jiangbei City. It’s almost one o’clock in the morning when he reached jiangbei Airport. When he reaches home, it is already two o’clock in the morning. At 9:00 a.m., another important meeting must be conducted by him. The Secretary booked Edwin Carter flight from Jiangbei to Xiaoshan at 5:00 a.m., so he has to depart for the airport an hour earlier. Time is too late to catch up. Edwin Carter never eats the meals provided on the plane, so he hasn’t eaten the meals since noon yesterday. He was so busy that he rushed back without eating because Jane gives him a hint that she is missing him. Jane the purpose of making a midnight snack for him is just to spend more time with him.
