Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 783: Slick-Tongued Straight Man

Audrey Sutton had long expected that Shane Warner would come back to question her after seeing the deduction information. She held her phone and responded with a smile: Bought you a birthday gift.

Shane Warner: Come on, my birthday is still more than half a year away.

Audrey Sutton was halfway through typing her reply when Shane Warner called through video.

Laura Yates, sitting beside her, saw it and said jealously, "Him calling again? How many times has he called today?"

Audrey Sutton giggled, shifted slightly to the corner of the sofa, and adjusted her angle before answering the call.

Upon seeing Shane Warner on the other end, lounging naked in the bathtub, Audrey was relieved she had shifted to the corner before answering. She immediately asked, "Are you alone?"

Shane Warner frowned, seemingly puzzled by Audrey’s question: "Who else? You’re not here."

Audrey Sutton let out a cold snort: "Isn’t it better that I’m not?"

Shane Warner: "Stop changing the subject. What did you need that two million for?"

Audrey Sutton glanced aside, smiling: "Went shopping today, bought bits here and there, and the money was gone in no time."

Shane Warner wasn’t foolish and clearly saw that Audrey wasn’t telling the truth: "That deduction was one-time, not bit by bit. Who did you use my money to buy a car for?"

Audrey Sutton giggled and played dumb: "Not telling you."

Shane Warner: "I’ll settle this with you once I’m back. Where’s my son?"

"Sleeping," Audrey replied, getting up from the sofa and switching to the rear camera. After a whirlwind moment, there was Anna sleeping peacefully in a cradle.

Shane Warner couldn’t help but comment sarcastically: "He was sleeping when I called earlier, and he’s sleeping again now. How much sleep does he need?"

Audrey Sutton: "Haven’t you heard of ’spring nap autumn fatigue’? Isn’t it good that he’s sleeping quietly?"

Shane Warner: "When he’s asleep, no one disturbs you, right?"

Audrey Sutton rolled her eyes: "I’m at home, and you still think all sorts of things. You’re out there; who knows what you’re doing or with whom."

Shane Warner: "When I’m not home, you can bring someone over."

Initially, they were joking, but Shane suddenly turned serious and asked Audrey, annoyed, "What are those sounds there? Is someone else there?"

Audrey immediately turned the camera toward Laura Yates and protested: "It’s my sister-in-law! You can’t seriously suspect me, can you?! I’m furious!"

Seeing it was Laura, Shane instantly relaxed, almost believing he was getting cheated on: "Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. Faye Xavier is urging me outside."

Audrey Sutton furrowed her brows and asked, "What’s he urging you for? Where are you going so late?"

Shane placed his phone on the bathtub’s shelf, the camera pointing at the ceiling.

Audrey heard the sound of Shane stepping out of the tub. Then, through a weird camera angle, she saw his arm reaching for the bath towel. He then said, "Of course, to discuss business."

Audrey pouted, gloomily saying: "Which lovely lady are you meeting? You even washed up fragrantly before heading out."

Shane Warner: "Home has lovely ladies; where are they outside?"

Audrey Sutton: "I’ve noticed you’ve been hanging out with Brother Xavier too much. You’re starting to sound as slippery as him."

Shane Warner: "You’re truly hard to please. If I don’t talk, I’m called a dull straight guy. Say a bit more, and I’m labeled smooth-tongued."

Audrey Sutton snorted: "Now you’re both — a smooth-tongued, dull straight guy."

Shane Warner put on his bathrobe and picked up the phone again, with the camera showing him fresh out of the bath, robe slightly open, hair wet with droplets occasionally trickling down.

Audrey Sutton, even at home, had seen him like this many times but never got tired of it.

Her face slightly flushed as she said: "Alright, go and stay busy, and rest early after you’re done."

Shane Warner: "Mm, you should sleep early too. When Anna is asleep, seize the chance to sleep. When he’s awake, you won’t get to rest."

Audrey Sutton: "Got it. By the way, when will you be back?"

Shane Warner: "Tomorrow night’s flight."

Audrey Sutton: "I have a plan. I’ll tell you when you’re back. I’ll hang up now."

She heard Shane Warner respond "Mm," but his phone was still in place until she hung up — as if he couldn’t bear to miss even a second.

Laura Yates teased after Audrey hung up: "You two are really alike; both big jars of jealousy."

Audrey Sutton smiled coyly: "He’s the jealous one over me. I’m not jealous over him."

Laura Yates playfully countered: "Oh? I heard from Phoebe about your first meeting; you...

"Right." Audrey quickly changed the topic as Laura was about to reveal some secrets: "I’ll call Sister Phoebe to see if she’s done eating and invite her over for a movie."

However, Phoebe King mentioned they were still out dining with some of Stephen Sutton’s old classmates and wouldn’t be back soon.

Before long, Franklin Sutton came to pick up Laura Yates and her baby.

Audrey Sutton took Anna upstairs, washed up with Vanessa, and laid down on the bed.

The two hadn’t seen each other for a while, and so much had happened recently. It was impossible to fall asleep right away. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Audrey Sutton voiced all her doubts, most curious about why Miles Sterling changed so quickly.

However, even Vanessa herself hadn’t figured it out yet.

"So what’s your plan going forward, Vanessa?"

Vanessa contemplated a bit and said: "Besides painting, I don’t have any skills. I should continue with my artwork."

Audrey Sutton: "I think you should finish the works you started. Those fans who know you’ve ’come back to life’ will probably go mad with joy."

Vanessa chuckled, though there was a hint of concern in her expression.

Audrey noticed it and asked: "Are you worried Miles will cause you more trouble?"

Vanessa nodded, sharing her thoughts: "He’s always unpredictable. Maybe his words the other day were sincere, but they might change by tomorrow."

This was something that worried Audrey too, but she pondered and said: "I believe Dr. Jennings, having helped Miles make such a decision, must have some talents. And Miles seems to have made some progress with her help. At least, he’s willing to let you go — something he wouldn’t have considered before. So I think we should trust that Dr. Jennings can truly cure Miles of his problems."
