Free Web NovelChapter 1196: Chapter 1196: Sorry, I Have a Date with My Wife Tonight
Does she often wait for him this long?
Watt Bennett was quite surprised, after Summer Sutton spoke, he remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "Baby, I won’t let you wait so long anymore."
Summer Sutton smiled softly, without saying anything.
"I’ll be back around seven," Watt gave her a firm reply.
"Got it, I’ll hang up now." Summer hung up the phone and cheerfully headed to the kitchen.
With two hours left until Watt Bennett returns, Summer figured preparing a lavish dinner would be just right.
Opening the fridge, she took out all the ingredients and carefully prepared a surprise meal.
She also took out a bottle of red wine, even placing candles on the table.
A romantic candlelit red wine dinner was set, thanks to her meticulous arrangements.
Once dinner was ready, Summer Sutton sat on the sofa with Unity for a while, quietly waiting for Watt.
...
At six-thirty, Watt Bennett finished up all his work, walked out of the company building, and prepared to drive back to the villa, only to unexpectedly receive a call from a client.
"Young Master Bennet, have you had dinner? Want to join us? I’ve booked a private room at the Weldon Hotel, there are quite a few people here, all business partners, including Mr. Ryan Walyon from the Walyon Clan Group. Do you want to join? If you’re coming, I’ll order the dishes now."
The client calling Watt Bennett was a major client of Shining Sky, each order reaching billions.
It’s generally hard to refuse a client’s call, refusing would directly impact billions-worth orders.
At the time, Ryan Walyon was seated in the hotel restaurant, expecting Watt Bennett would surely come after the client’s call.
However, Watt Bennett, upon taking the call, didn’t hesitate for a moment and responded lightly, "Sorry, I already have plans."
The client was stunned for quite a while, as if not expecting him to say such a thing.
Tentatively, he asked, "Who did you plan with?"
"With my wife!" Watt replied flatly, then ended the call.
His answer was simple, without any detours, not afraid of offending anyone.
When speaking, his tone was so natural, as if having dinner plans with his wife was such an important affair.
The rejected client felt a bit awkward, and after hanging up, seeing everyone at the table staring at him, he felt a little embarrassed.
"I need to reconsider future collaborations with Shining Sky." he muttered to himself and continued chatting with everyone.
...
After hanging up the phone, Watt Bennett drove back to the villa in a hurry.
He arrived just at seven.
Pushing open the living room door and stepping inside, his gaze shifted towards the dining room, and noticed the flickering candlelight on the table, causing his gaze to pause.
"You’re back!" Summer Sutton stood up, walked over to him in a few steps, trying to take his coat, but Watt Bennett instead pulled her into his arms.
Tightening his arms, he drew her close to him, holding her tightly and bending his face down, he kissed her deeply on the lips.
"Baby, did I let you wait long?"
"No, no, I actually just finished preparing not too long ago." Summer Sutton waved her hand, saying.
"Alright, let’s eat." Watt Bennet nodded, leading her to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Summer Sutton poured him a glass of wine, handed it to him, but Watt simply swirled it gently, not intending to drink.
