Secret Wealthy Marriage

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Jadeite Jade Bracelet Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Jadeite Jade Bracelet Another ten days went by, and on the day Bryan Hawkins returned, there were still five days until Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day had already passed, and this year’s National Day was combined with the Mid-Autumn Festival, giving them a total of eight days of vacation.

On the first day, Carolline Ruiz was on duty, on the second day, she took a break and went crazy with Mia Parker for the day. She switched shifts with someone else on the third day and worked an early morning shift, with someone else covering her work.

Bryan’s flight arrived at four o’clock in the afternoon, and Carolline still took a short nap at home.

Xavier Estrada’s call came at almost three o’clock, Carolline put on the outfit she had carefully chosen the night before. She didn’t have many good clothes, and it was her first time spending three hours picking out clothes the night before.

It seemed incredible when she thought about it, but it also seemed perfectly normal once she figured it out. She used to think that the behavior of the female protagonist in idol dramas was exaggerated, but when it came to her own experience, it was even more exaggerated.

She really didn’t have many good clothes in her wardrobe, so she reluctantly picked out a pair of nine-point jeans, matched with a black and white striped sweater, and tied her hair up in a high ponytail.

In the end, she slung on a small side bag, which was just big enough to hold her phone, keys, wallet, and a pack of wet wipes.

This kind of outfit made her look too much like a student, but she didn’t have time to find more mature clothes, so she had to go find Xavier Estrada outside like this.

Xavier Estrada didn’t express his own opinions. After Carolline was seated, he drove steadily towards the airport.

Carolline and Xavier Estrada arrived at the airport at 3:50. Xavier went to park the car in the parking lot, and Carolline went to the arrival gate alone to wait for Bryan’s flight back from abroad.

International flights were separated from domestic flights. When Carolline went to the information desk to report Bryan’s flight number, the airport staff led her to a VIP arrival channel. There weren’t many people picking up, and Carolline couldn’t even hide herself in the crowd as the girls did in the TV shows.

At 4:10, Bryan walked out from inside. He was surrounded by another assistant pushing a luggage cart, wearing sunglasses, and immediately spotted Carolline dressed as a student.

Although her appearance seemed fitting for her, it was not right for him. It had been three years since they first met, and he was now a mature man approaching the age of thirty, while Carolline was only twenty.

He used to not think it was a big deal for a man to be within ten years older than a woman, after all, the age difference between spouses nowadays ranges from ten to twenty, thirty, or even forty years.

But now, seeing Carolline’s innocent student-like appearance, he felt like an old cow eating tender grass. He seemed like that kind of old uncle trying to seduce a little loli.

Although he was only eight years older than Carolline, he felt like he was much more than just eight years older.

Bryan instructed his assistant, “Go find Xavier, and then take his car. Have Xavier leave the keys at the parking management office.”

“Yes, boss,” the assistant replied respectfully.

“Don’t call me today with any matters, and don’t tell anyone I’m back, understand?” Bryan continued to instruct, his eyes fixed on the blushing Carolline.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he missed her quite a bit.

“Yes, boss, I’ll leave first,” the assistant did not dare to look at Carolline any longer and walked away with Bryan’s luggage cart.

Bryan slowly walked towards Carolline. As he got closer and closer, her face grew redder and redder, and her head hung lower and lower. In the end, she could only see his shiny leather shoes and half of his black suit pants in her line of sight.

“What’s wrong? Did you do something wrong?” Bryan asked in his deep voice, teasingly.

“Uh…” Carolline looked up in confusion; she was just shy. Why would he think she’d done something wrong?

Seeing Carolline’s reddened cheeks, Bryan suddenly felt an urge to ask her if she had missed him all this time. Still, he restrained himself, fearing that she would end up with a facial blood clot and people would wonder how he had bullied a young girl. “Let’s have dinner together tonight and go back to the villa, okay?”

“Huh?” Although her parents were not home, Carolline hadn’t considered not returning home for the night.

Emily Hill, the deputy principal of the kindergarten, had taken an eight-day vacation due to the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival. Her father had taken seven days off, and the couple had gone on a five-day trip, leaving early in the morning yesterday.

“Did you not make arrangements with your parents?” Bryan thought of this as an issue; going back to Bluen Lake Wonderland, the two of them would naturally have to stay in the villa. Although they were officially married after obtaining their marriage license, the wedding night was still delayed for so long.

“No, my parents aren’t home. They went on a trip. It’s just that… don’t you have to go home?” Carolline was thinking, doesn’t Bryan have to go back home? His grandma and the others must be worried about his return.

“No, they think I’ll be back in two days.” Bryan smiled like a fox. The only people who knew he was returning today were Xavier and his closest assistant, and Carolline.

“Ah!” It never occurred to Carolline that this would be the situation; her heart raced uncontrollably.

“Let’s go.” Bryan reached out and held Carolline’s left hand, and the two walked side by side.

Just as they stepped into the elevator, Carolline felt her left wrist being encircled by something cold and smooth. Lowering her head, she saw a jade bracelet made of emerald on her wrist.
