The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot

Chapter 279: The Feeling of Being Slapped in the Face

"Holly, you came here without telling me. You really don’t love me at all anymore, boo hoo hoo."

Holly was about to respond to Warren’s words when a crisp voice interrupted her, and within seconds, a body clung to Holly.

Holly: "???"

Holly looked at Cecilia Bennett hanging on her and really wanted to punch her away.

"Get down, don’t clamber all over my wife."

Leo Grant frowned and said to Cecilia Bennett coldly.

So what if they are best friends?

Does being best friends mean she can clamber over his wife?

Holding hands he might understand a bit, but hanging all over his wife, that made him unhappy.

"Stingy."

Cecilia Bennett glared at Leo Grant and then got off Holly.

Actually, Leo Grant is someone she’s slightly afraid of, but given that he’s Holly’s husband, she’s not afraid at all.

After all, Leo Grant is completely wrapped around Holly’s finger, and as long as Holly supports her, she’s afraid of nothing.

Warren King looked shockingly at Cecilia Bennett appearing before him, gently rubbing his eyes to make sure his sight wasn’t failing.

At this moment, Cecilia Bennett looked very different from usual, not in appearance but in character.

Before, Cecilia Bennett was like a high mountain flower, untouchable and unmovable by anyone, and nobody could truly make her happy.

Now, Cecilia Bennett is lively, with a hint of playfulness.

"Goddess, you..."

Warren stared unblinkingly at Cecilia Bennett, feeling he had so much to say but swallowing all his words.

It seemed there was nothing to be said after all.

"What the hell, it’s like seeing a ghost."

Cecilia Bennett turned and saw Warren King, almost jumping up, her eyes darting between Holly, Leo Grant, and Warren King.

So they all know each other?

This coincidental?

Warren King has been chasing her for five whole years without pause; Cecilia Bennett was naturally afraid of Warren.

She never thought having many admirers was anything to be proud of; instead, she found it particularly bothersome.

A severe headache.

Even while annoyed by Warren, Cecilia Bennett was somewhat grateful to him for blocking many suitors.

Asian faces are actually exceptionally popular in the West, and most of her admirers are Westerners, though there are Asians as well.

"Goddess, it’s really a coincidence, we actually met."

Warren scratched his head, speaking earnestly.

He thought he would have to wait a long time, never expected it would be so quick to meet, he was quite excited.

"Not a coincidence."

Cecilia Bennett hastily hid behind Holly.

"Holly, you have to save me."

She said softly to Holly, her eyes showing a hint of plea.

Holly: "..."

She’s never felt so speechless in her life.

A moment ago, she said she didn’t know Cecilia Bennett, and the next moment Cecilia was running right to her, making it all awkward.

She was usually the one slapping others in the face, but this time she really slapped herself in the face.

It stings a bit, huh.

"Handle your own issues."

Holly dropped this line, pulling Leo Grant wanting to leave.

"I’m sleepy, want to go back to sleep."

Holly said to Leo Grant.

"Don’t."

Cecilia Bennett quickly grabbed Holly’s sleeve, looking at her pleadingly.

Leo Grant silently watched without comment.

Holly and Cecilia Bennett are best friends, and he felt he should not involve himself in their affairs.

Leo Grant knew Holly definitely didn’t want him intervening in affairs between her friends.

Even if the feelings between them are strong, it would only lead to playful fights at most.

"Right, little sister-in-law, didn’t you say you don’t know my goddess?"

Warren tapped his forehead, suddenly recalling this detail.

At the time, Holly had confidently claimed not to know Cecilia Bennett, he heard it clearly.

Holly: "..."

Darn it, why bring this up?

Why the hell bring this up???

"If you can’t speak, shut up."

Leo Grant gave a cold glance towards Warren King, sweeping him with his gaze.

Warren shrunk his neck.

Quite unsettling, huh.

"What the hell, Holly, you actually said you don’t know me!!!"

On hearing this, Cecilia Bennett flared up in rage, rolling up her sleeves and making a move to hit Holly.

Holly wouldn’t back down either, and rolled up her sleeves as well, and the two began playfully fighting.

But their actions were very light, not going heavy, just like playing.

Leo Grant just stood by watching, inwardly wanting to help, but remained inactive.

A particular saying resonates greatly: Best friends sort out their own matters; you watch from the side.

I’ve known my best friend for many years, how long have I known you?

Love and friendship hold a substantial weight in life, and if it ever comes to choosing, I’d pick friendship.

Friendship can last a lifetime, love is unpredictable.

"Tired."

More than ten minutes passed, and Cecilia Bennett lay on the grass, letting out a long sigh.

After fighting for so long, she was a bit lacking in stamina, while Holly was still like nothing happened, face unflushed and breath calm.

"You need more exercise, looking at your condition, tsk."

Holly looked at Cecilia Bennett, starting to mock.

Cecilia Bennett used to have great stamina.

After a little chat, Cecilia Bennett learned of the relationship between Leo Grant and Warren King, and Warren learned about Cecilia and Holly’s relationship.

"Little sister-in-law, why did you lie to me?"

Warren looked at Holly with a face like he was about to cry.

Sigh, he was having a hard time.

"Because I don’t plan on helping you."

Holly said in a matter-of-fact way, her tone particularly direct.

Not wanting to help, so simply denying it, saves Warren from begging.

Warren: "..."

Wow, his unspoken idea was abruptly foiled.

"Really sleepy."

Holly emphasized again, pulling Leo Grant and leaving.

She wasn’t joking about being sleepy, but truly felt drowsy.

Holly and Leo Grant quickly left, while Cecilia Bennett remained taking pictures in the rose field.

She specifically dressed up today to see the roses, wearing a red long dress and matching red high heels.

Everything to align with the rose hues, wanting to blend with them.

Cecilia Bennett rushed to see the roses after hearing about them.

She truly had a particular obsession with roses, loving them immensely.

Warren watched Cecilia Bennett in the rose field, his heart beating rapidly.

A feeling of heart throbbing.

Every instance of feeling moved was because of Cecilia Bennett, perhaps he’s enchanted...
