Chapter 496: Chapter 496
"Baby, you don’t look so good. Rest for a while."
Damian Quinn frowned, tenderly pulling the girl into his embrace, letting her lean against him to rest.
Upon hearing this, Serena didn’t refuse. She obediently snuggled into the man’s broad and warm chest.
She was really tired. Ever since those strange symptoms began, she had been getting exhausted easily.
Thinking about those frequently occurring strange symptoms, Serena pursed her red lips, the expression in her eyes growing colder.
The young girl’s complexion hadn’t looked good these past few days...
The man’s captivating eyes slightly squinted as he pondered silently.
Could it be that she got exhausted that night? It seems he’ll need to take it easy from now on...
His tone held a bit of regret and self-blame.
"Baby, it’s all my fault. I’ll be more considerate in the future."
Realizing he misunderstood, Serena’s fair earlobes turned hot, but she didn’t open her mouth to explain.
Now wasn’t the time to tell him about her health issues. They couldn’t hide it from Master for long, and uncovering the truth about the past was more important!
"However, little one, your stamina seems lacking."
The man chuckled softly, his voice lazily teasing with a magnetic quality.
The blush on Serena’s ear deepened, and her beautiful fox-like eyes glared angrily at him.
He was the one who couldn’t restrain himself, almost exhausting her, and yet he blamed her for poor stamina!
Knowing how shy she was, Damian’s thin lips curled deeper, but he obediently shut his mouth, his voice lowered as he gently coaxed her.
"Alright, alright, I’ll keep quiet. Baby, get some rest."
Serena haughtily pursed her red lips, closing her eyes as she leaned into his embrace. Initially intending only to rest her eyes, she unknowingly fell asleep.
When Serena woke up again, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.
She moved and got off the bed, walking out the room to find Damian sitting on the sofa.
With his back to her, Serena didn’t know what he was doing. She quickly walked over and naturally snuggled into his arms, her creamy arms wrapping around his neck, her voice soft.
"My back hurts, give it a rub!"
As soon as she finished speaking, seeing Damian not moving, Serena frowned discontentedly, but in the next moment, she met his laughing eyes.
"Baby, why don’t you take a look at what I’m doing now."
Following his gaze, Serena noticed the laptop on the coffee table in front of them, involved in a video call with the Quinn Group’s senior executives.
Clearly, her arrival disrupted the video conference.
Those senior executives on screen initially looked shocked, with expressions of "What the hell, did someone actually dare order the CEO around?" which soon turned into "Wow, back pain! Is this something we get to hear for free?!!!" then finally became "Wow, wow, we’re loving it!"
Great, she lost face again!
Damian looked down at her gently, his deep, magnetic voice lazily smiling, making her ears tingle.
"Do you still want me to give you a massage?"
He didn’t mind, serving the young girl delighted him, though he knew she was too shy to let him do so in front of so many people.
Indeed, as soon as he finished speaking, Serena immediately pushed him away, her fair earlobes turning red as she quickly left.
Watching her hurried figure, Damian chuckled affectionately, almost overly gentle.
Seeing this, the senior executives stared wide-eyed in shock.
Their usually cold and stern CEO had such a gentle side!!!
Seeing their CEO in such a good mood, a female executive boldly spoke up with a smile.
"The CEO’s wife is truly adorable!"
Damian’s thin lips curved, lifting his eyelids, his tone brimming with pride.
The executives: "..."
They got a mouthful of affection!!!
"Today’s video conference ends here."
When Damian looked at the executives, the tender smile on his handsome face faded, returning to his usual indifferent demeanor, chilling to the bone.
This is the CEO they’re familiar with!!!
The executives wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, speaking with difficulty, "But CEO, the project hasn’t been fully reported yet..."
"Report it next time."
Damian interrupted them calmly, his gaze softening again at the thought of the young girl.
"Now, I need to go accompany my little one."
The executives, getting another mouthful of affection: "..."
But, who would’ve thought the CEO would be in love! Look at him acting so modest!
And it seems, it looks like the CEO’s domestic status isn’t too high!
Ending the video call, a faint smile adorned Damian’s lips as he briskly walked into the room, sweeping the girl into his embrace with a long arm.
"What are you doing?"
Serena pressed her red lips together tightly, reaching out to push him away, clearly annoyed at having lost face earlier.
"Didn’t you say your back hurts?"
His large, slender hands rested on her waist, gently rubbing it.
"I’ll give you a massage."
Mentions of it immediately brought the embarrassing incident to Serena’s mind, making her ears start to burn again.
Seeing her cute, embarrassed look, the smile on Damian’s lips deepened, but he didn’t continue teasing her.
"Right, Serena just found out that the person who identified my father as the killer of Master’s wife and child back then was Walter Coleman, the Winslow Family’s butler at the time."
Speaking of business matters, the man’s expression became serious and stern.
"What’s strange is that not long after the incident, Walter Coleman resigned from the Winslow Family and has since disappeared."
Hearing this, a few hints of suspicion surfaced in Serena’s beautiful fox-like eyes. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novｅlfire.net
Shortly after identifying the killer, Walter Coleman suddenly resigned and left the Winslow Family. It’s hard not to be suspicious!
"Find him as soon as possible!"
Damian nodded, speaking in a deep voice, "Yes, I’ve already sent people to search for him. As long as he’s alive, we’ll definitely find him."
Seeing her expression a bit heavy, Damian lowered his head, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead, lowering his voice to coax her.
"Baby, don’t worry. We’ll definitely find him."
Serena nodded, her serious demeanor softening slightly.
Finding Walter Coleman might be the key to uncovering the truth about Master’s wife’s tragic death back then...
Even if it means digging three feet into the ground, she’ll ensure he’s found!
