Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 716: As Expected, She’s a Heartless Woman

Chapter 716: Chapter 716: As Expected, She’s a Heartless Woman

The woman cuddling next to Zachary Wilson clearly couldn’t understand Chinese. As if she couldn’t stand seeing Zachary Wilson talking to another girl, she tugged at Zachary Wilson’s sleeve and looked up, asking, "Who is she?"

Zachary Wilson replied with a smile, "A shameless bitch."

They were speaking German, which Lana Holloway didn’t understand, but before she could react, Norman Sutton grabbed Zachary Wilson by the collar and punched him hard in the face: "Try insulting one more time, I dare you?"

Norman Sutton put a lot of force into his punch, knocking Zachary Wilson’s glasses flying off, and the girl with Zachary Wilson screamed in fright.

Norman Sutton was completely unconcerned about the stares from the people around them, continuing to punch Zachary Wilson repeatedly.

"Stop hitting him." Lana Holloway urged, pulling Norman Sutton’s arm. Her concern was not for Zachary Wilson getting hurt, but that Norman Sutton might stir up trouble that would bring him inconvenience.

Zachary Wilson was utterly powerless to fight back. He slowly got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, looked at Lana Holloway and said, "How long do you think he’ll be with you? Do you think he really cares about you? He’s just having fun with you for now. Once he’s tired of it, he’ll kick you away."

Norman Sutton flexed his wrist and said to Zachary Wilson, "Where’d you learn to talk crap like that? If you can’t speak properly, then shut up. I could beat you all day."

Zachary Wilson chuckled, bent down to pick up his glasses from the ground, put them on, and looked at Norman Sutton saying, "Young Master Sutton, allow me to give you a piece of advice: don’t be fooled by this woman’s fake innocence. You know very well why she’s approaching you."

Norman Sutton glanced down at Lana Holloway, pulled her closer protectively, and said, "Doesn’t matter why she’s here; at least it proves I have something you don’t. With your lousy appearance, you want to pick up girls? You probably intend to freeload off them, right?"

"Financially, I can’t compete with Young Master Sutton, but, think about it, with your status, you can find any kind of woman, right? Soon enough, you’ll tire of someone like her. She’s not particularly good-looking, doesn’t know how to make a man happy, and might even cheat on you. Such a woman... is worse than an escort."

Upon hearing these words, Norman Sutton prepared to use his fists to communicate with Zachary Wilson again, but this time Lana Holloway pulled him back in time, shaking her head at him, "There are so many people watching; don’t get yourself into unnecessary trouble."

Norman Sutton: "It’s fine, you go over there."

Seeing Norman Sutton’s furious demeanor, Zachary Wilson couldn’t help but feel a little threatened.

He said to Lana Holloway, "A shameless woman like you will get her just desserts sooner or later!"

With that, he quickly wrapped his arm around the woman by his side and left.

Watching Zachary Wilson’s retreating figure, Norman Sutton cursed under his breath and said to Lana Holloway, "Look how blind you must have been to fall for a man like that!"

Lana Holloway pursed her lips, lowered her gaze, and suddenly realized that her hand was still resting in the crook of Norman Sutton’s arm. Embarrassed, she immediately withdrew her hand.

Noticing this action, Norman Sutton teased her, "What’s this? Use it and lose it? Truly, you’re a heartbreaker."

Lana Holloway’s face flushed slightly, she turned her eyes away awkwardly and softly said, "Thank you."

Watching Lana Holloway walk away, Norman Sutton gazed at her back, scratched his head in a slightly shy manner, then followed her.

He felt a swirling mess inside, glancing thoughtfully at Lana Holloway as she bent over to choose some desserts. She suddenly turned her head and said, "Look at this bunny cake, so cute, it’s too adorable to eat."

The first thought in Norman Sutton’s mind was, she is much cuter than a bunny.

This woman, when she’s not arguing with him, is actually... quite charming.

They wandered outside and inside the castle, which was so big that they lost their way, traversing some areas repeatedly, while probably missing some others.

Lana Holloway asked Norman Sutton to take a few pictures of her, but none of them turned out well. She critiqued him, "Do you even know how to take photos? All are unfocused, and in this one, my eyes are closed. You stand over there, let me show you how it’s done."

Norman Sutton grudgingly stood where Lana Holloway pointed.

Asked to strike a pose, he didn’t, instead keeping his hands stuffed in his pockets, displaying a look of displeasure, which actually gave off a cool, detached vibe.

Lana Holloway pressed the shutter, walked over with the taken photo to show him: "Look, you have to adjust the camera angle, squat a little, lower the lens to make it seem like tall legs."

Norman Sutton sneered, "That’s because I am tall."

Lana Holloway: "Then look at the ones you took. Not a single good one to choose from, they look awful."

Norman Sutton: "That’s because you’re naturally ugly. Don’t blame me."

Lana Holloway, annoyed, glared at him and decided not to talk anymore, picking a background with her phone, and began taking selfies.

Norman Sutton turned to make a phone call, chatting on the line, and watched as Lana Holloway made faces at her phone camera.

He had seen similar scenes with Audrey Sutton many times and was not surprised; girls just love to beautify themselves.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

Sounds of fireworks burst from outside, with colorful lights shining through the window into the room.

Outdoor balconies extended every several meters, leading outside; Lana Holloway just happened upon the route to one. Upon seeing the fireworks blossom outside, she put down her phone, followed the sound and light to the balcony, and looked up at the dazzling fireworks in the night sky.

Norman Sutton silently moved behind her, watching the white snow flakes drift from above, landing on her head and shoulders.

She looked up at the sky, the fireworks reflecting in her black eyes, as if leaving a celestial spectacle in her pupils.

Norman Sutton gently brushed the snow off her shoulders, and Lana Holloway, realizing his presence, smiled and said, "When the fireworks bloom you can make a wish, it’s actually quite effective."

Norman Sutton, with a look of disdain, said, "You still believe in that kids’ stuff?"

Lana Holloway, seriously, said, "Really, last New Year’s, I wished to see my mom again, and that night I dreamt about her."

With that, Lana Holloway clasped her hands together, closed her eyes earnestly, making a silent wish amidst the sounds of fireworks.

Norman Sutton knew her family situation; her parents passed away early, leaving her to live in various relatives’ homes for periods of time.

Her optimistic and cheerful nature made it hard to imagine she grew up under such circumstances.
