My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 251: Wait For Wendy At Ensfield.

It had been several hours since Jeffrey had come back.He had arrived here at dusk, but now, it wasalmost midnight.The whole time, he had been waiting patiently at the gate of No.2 Villa, but there wasno sign of Wendy.

While waiting here, he had caught up with all the news published about Wendy over the past few days.

Of course, he hadn't missed her press conference earlier that day.

He was relieved to see that she had successfully reversed the situation, and that Cacia and Ruben hadbeen apprehended by the police.

But now that the matter had been settled, Wendy should have returned home.

However, Jeffrey couldn't find her at all.

She was not home, and her phone was switched off.

How could he not worry? He had been waiting in the parked car, but at midnight, he finally couldn't staycooped up in that small space anymore.

He got out and stretched his arms and legs before leaning against the car.It was nice to finally get abreath of fresh air.

"Jeffrey, Wendy only held the press conference today.Maybe she still has some things to dealwith.Don't worry about it.We have to get on a flight to the US tomorrow to continue shooting.How aboutwe go back to have a rest now?"

"Forget the shooting! I don't care," Jeffrey said irritably.

"Jeffrey..."

"It's just a movie! I don't give a damn.Tell them I quit!"

Ransom gulped in shock.

"Jeffrey, this movie is your ticket to Hollywood.What's more, you're the lead actor in the movie.Manystars in our country have tried their best to get such a chance, but you're the only person who hasmanaged it.How can you throw it away like this?"

"Whatever! I've already made up my mind."

"But we signed the contract—"

"Damn the contract!" Jeffrey said firmly.

In retrospect, he regretted agreeing to act in this movie.

It was because of the shooting that he had been staying in the US recently.

Moreover, the shooting took place in a forest, where he barely got signal on his phone.

He had lived like a caveman with no contact with the outside world.

That was why he had missed everything that had happened back home.

If he had known it earlier, he would have turned down the movie without a second thought.

"Jeffrey..."

"Cut the crap.I told you, I made up my mind!"

Ransom pouted helplessly, not daring to say anything more.

He felt that he was unlucky to work for such a stubborn star.He had no choice but to secretly pray thatJeffrey could get in touch with Wendy as soon as possible.He knew that at this moment, she was theonly one who would be able to persuade Jeffrey.

Just then, Jeffrey let out a sneeze.It was already autumn, and the night breeze was cold.

Jeffrey, who wasn't dressed appropriately for the weather, had already begun to shiver.

‘Oh my God! Jeffrey has a lot of work to do later.What will happen if he catches a cold?’

Feeling worried, Ransom suggested, "Jeffrey, how about you go back to the villa and have a rest? I'llwait here.The moment I see Wendy, I'll give you a call.You can come here then."

"Achoo! No way!"

Sniffling, Jeffrey rubbed his nose.

His green hair shone conspicuously under the street light.

"I want to wait here in person!"

He wanted to see Wendy as soon as she came back home.

"Well...How about waiting inside the car, at least? It's too cold out here."

"No!"

Jeffrey stubbornly stared straight at the entrance of the villa, almost turning into a statue.

There was an overly affectionate look on his face.

Rubbing his nose, Jeffrey shook his head and added, "I'm not cold.You wait in the car if you feel cold."

In fact, Jeffrey was afraid that if he got into the warm and cozy car, he would end up dozing off.

The regret weighing him down didn't allow him to do that.

So many things had happened to Wendy, but he hadn't been here with her.

Ransom was speechless.

How could he get in the car and let Jeffrey wait outside alone? He felt that it would be too disrespectfulto do that.

So in the end, he had no choice but to wait outside as well.

Jeffrey continued calling Wendy and sending her a message every few minutes, but her phone was stillswitched off.

Finally, Ransom sighed and said, "Jeffrey, wait here.I'll ask the security guard if Wendy always comeshome late these days."

"Go ahead."

It was late at night, and except for the howling of the night breeze, the place was completely silent.

Standing there alone, Jeffrey felt a chill run down his spine.

‘‘Oh my God! I never felt scared to come here during the day.But why does this place look so scary atnight?

"Jeffrey!"

All of a sudden, Ransom's voice came from behind, startling Jeffrey.novelbin

"Damn it! Do you walk on air? You didn't make a sound! "

Jeffrey complained.

Ransom opened and closed his mouth without saying a word.

He had run back here, so how could he have not made a sound? He figured that Jeffrey must havebeen so absorbed in his own thoughts that he didn't hear anything else.

"Well, what did the security guard say?"

"He said that Wendy hasn't come home at all for the last few days."

"What?"

"Yeah.I asked him if he knew the reason, but he said he didn't."

Hearing that, Jeffrey began to feel anxious.

‘If she hasn't been coming home, where has she been staying these days? It doesn't make sense.Ihave to find out what's going on"

After thinking for a while, Jeffrey remembered that Ryan and Luke, two people who were familiar withWendy, both lived right here.

Gritting his teeth, he strode towards No.1 Villa.

Ransom followed him as well.

Ten minutes later, Jeffrey walked out of No.1 Villa with worry-filled eyes.

Neither Ryan nor Luke was in the villa.

He enquired about their whereabouts, and the servant told him that they hadn't come home for severaldays because Precious was sick.

But despite the servant's words, Jeffrey couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong.

‘‘Isn't it too much of a coincidence? Wendy hasn't come home for the last few days, and neither hasRyan or Luke.They're all missing at the same time"

"Jeffrey, let's go back.It’s late at night now.I'm sure you'll be able to reach Wendy in the morning,"Ransom said, stifling a yawn.

‘No way! I can't wait till tomorrow"

Gritting his teeth, Jeffrey scrolled through his contacts list for a number and dialed it.

‘Fuck! When Luke was woken up by the sound of his phone ringing, he cursed inwardly.His head wasaching.He had been forced to work overtime until ten o'clock that night.

It wasn't until getting off work that he had grabbed a midnight snack at a restaurant.

Then, he had rushed to the hospital with clothes for Ryan.

After that, he had washed up and finally laid down on the bed to have some rest.

But he had barely slept for ten minutes when he was woken up again by the phone call.

Ryan, who was sleeping in the same bed, was also awakened by the phone ringing.

He opened his eyes slightly and squinted to see what was going on.

Luke's ringtone kept ringing.

In the end, Ryan turned on the bedside lamp and thrust his foot out, kicking Luke right on his butt.

"Hey!"

Covering his butt, Luke woke up completely.

"Answer the phone!" Ryan said.

"Yes, yes." Luke rubbed his eyes tiredly.

When he saw the name on the caller ID, however, he jumped out of bed and waved the phone screenin front of Ryan's face.

"Ryan, look! It’s Bruce! He has been back for several hours.But why is he calling at this late hourinstead of going to bed?"

Frowning, Ryan sat up.

"Answer it!"
