A Sweet Romance: The CEO's Reborn Wife Chapter-12

Everly Smith/FL

"Do you finally trust me now?"

Everly let out a breath and blinked her big, watery eyes at Liam with a "look, I really am innocent" expression on her face.

Liam White/ML

"Yes."

Liam acknowledged her lightly, but his body remained on top of her with no indication that he intended to move off.

However, the bloodthirsty aura from a moment ago had completely disappeared.

At this moment, the dusky light of the late afternoon filtered through the window and landed on the large bed.

The illumination of the two bodies actually gave the sense of two lovers cuddling in a movie.

Liam White/ML

"Eveline, don't lie to me. You know the consequences of that..."

The man buried his head in Everly's shoulder. Hot breaths brushed across her sensitive skin as he warned her in a low voice.

Everly didn't even dare to take a deep breath. Like prey pinned by a predator, she didn't dare to move an inch.

In her last life, she had already learned the consequences.

After a while, the sound of Liam's slow and calm breathing came from beside her ear.

The devil had fallen asleep on her body?!!!

Everly unconsciously shifted a little, and the man immediately tightened his arms. His eyes suddenly opened and stared at her dangerously.

It seemed that if she moved even a tiny bit, she would be disassembled in the next second and swallowed whole.

Everly's hair immediately stood on end. After a moment, she heard the man's deep and helpless voice ring out beside her ear.

Liam White/ML

"Eveline, don't make a ruckus."

Everly Smith/FL

"Fine, fine, fine. You sleep.

Everly hurriedly lay herself straight and obediently stopped moving.

Liam stared at her for a moment before burying himself back into her shoulder and closing his eyes.

Everly turned her head to take the measure of the devil. It was only then that she discovered that there was a permanent patch of darkness beneath the man's eyes.

Thinking of her elopement yesterday and what happened today, anyone would have difficulty sleeping, right?

She gathered her courage and stretched out her hand.

The tips of her fingers gently brushed across the man's deep eyebrows. She remembered the first time she had met him.

Filled with the vigor of youth, arrogant and proud, he was admired by everyone, yet for her, he turned into a monster.

Worry rose in her heart.

In her last life, she and the devil had always had swords drawn at each other.

After she was imprisoned by him, she had fought against him and he had been covered head to toe in scars.

In the end, he had only agreed to a divorce after she threatened him with her own life.

She remembered that when she left the Phoenix Lodge, Liam had been so ill that he could not stand.

Yet, he had insisted that Zhan Ying had to push his wheelchair out to send her off...

Thinking of this, involuntary tears fell from Everly's eyes.

In that short life, neither she nor Liam had time to figure out how to love another person.

Even now, she was willing to marry him because of a deep sense of regret and gratefulness.

The Next day....

When the morning light once again fell across her face, a strong floral scent hung in the air. Everything seemed so peaceful and calm.

Everly slowly opened her eyes. The weight was gone from her body, and she was left alone on the bed.

She lay where she was and recalled the events of yesterday with some disbelief.

Everly Smith/FL

' Incredible! I had relaxed enough to fall asleep peacefully beside devil!'

This was something that would never have happened in her previous life!

Her phone Chimed.

It indicated the arrival of a WeChat message. Everly picked up the phone and saw that it was a long message from her father.

Adrian Smith

📩 Everly, you are engaged to Liam and once you graduate from high school, you will marry him. You are wife of Liam. You should live with Liam to develop mutual affection.

That means, what had happened at school yesterday had indeed made its distorted and twisted way into Adrian's ears through Liana.

Now, all of her finances had been completely severed!

Reading this, Everly laughed with a complicated expression.

Everly Smith/FL

'Liana, I truly underestimated you...'

In her last life, she had also been forced into the Phoenix Lodge like this and began her suffering days with the devil.

In this life, although she had ended up in the same destination, her state of mind had changed a great deal.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

Her phone rang again. The caller ID displayed... Liana.

Everly's mouth curved coldly.

Everly Smith/FL

' That was fast!'

The moment she picked up the call, Liana's seemingly concerned voice immediately rang out.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"Eve! I heard that you were kidnapped by the devil yesterday? He hasn't done anything to you, has he? Do you want me to come and visit you?"

Everly Smith/FL

'Listen to her choice of words,' kidnapped'..'

Everly Smith/FL

"It's nothing. I'm fine."

Involuntarily she remembered that in her last life, after she had been forced by Liam, Liana had also called her to ask after her and said she would come to take care of her.

At that time, she had felt that there was nothing left in life for her and she needed someone to vent to, so she had immediately agreed to Liana's request.

In light of the fact that Liana was her cousin, not only did Liam give her the right to come and go from the Phoenix Lodge, but he also sent Zhan Ying to drive her to and fro.

Thus, Liana moved another step closer and also increased her chances of getting close to Liam.

But she had been stupidly kept in the dark and had lost everything.

Now, she would definitely not give Liana such an opportunity!

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"You're fine?"

Liana momentarily lost control of her temper and raised her voice. It was clear that she couldn't believe this result.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

'After I send such a recording, shouldn't Liam have immediately flown into a rage? Wouldn't his problems with Everly have devolved even further, to the point that Everly would hate him even more?'

Everly Smith/FL

"Cousin, why does it seem like you don't want me to be fine?"

Everly said, half-jokingly.

Liana almost broke out in a cold sweat in fear. She gripped the phone tightly and hurriedly explained.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"How could that be? I'm your cousin. Of course I want you to be safe.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"However, the devil's expression was so ugly yesterday. I was afraid that he would do... something inappropriate to you."

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"We are family. If you have grievances, don't just endure them alone. No matter how late, I can immediately come to be with you!"

Everly acutely caught the misstep in Liana's words.

Everly Smith/FL

"Cousin, how could you see the devil's ugly expression? Were you present? Why didn't you come out at that time?"

There was a short silence from the phone. Liana had clearly been caught off guard.

She had not expected Everly to suddenly become clever and catch such a small detail in her words.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"Haha... I heard about it. If I was there, I would certainly have come out! Eve, are you really all right?"

Everly Smith/FL

"I'm really all right."

Everly Smith/FL

"Some petty person told tales to Liam this time. Fortunately, I was clever and the misunderstanding has been resolved. However, don't let me find out who the person was. If I find out, I will make them wish they were dead!"

When she reached the last part, she purposely emphasized her tone.

On the other end, Liana heard her and her heart leaped in fright.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

'Does Everly already know something?!'

Everly Smith/FL

"But I know that you treat me the best. You wouldn't hurt me, would you?"

Everly asked with a smile, abruptly turning the conversation.

Liana's heart felt like it was on a rollercoaster. It rose up then fell down heavily again.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"Of course, I would never hurt you!"

Everly Smith/FL

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

Everly casually wrapped up the conversation. Without waiting for Liana to say something, she hung up the phone.

What she wanted was for Liana to choke on her own breath.
