Presiden's wild wife

Chapter 357 Have a Talk with Cornel

Lying on the bed, Elena was almost falling asleep. A text tone made her jump up. She immediately opened the text.

A handsome face occupied her eyes, which made her blushed.

When she woke up again, it’s dark outside. Elena felt a little cold, because she forgot to cover the quilt. Luckily, she didn’t get a cold because of the heating, after all, she just left the hospital as a patient.

“Knock-knock!”

With the knock, Yolanda’s voice rang. “Sister-in-law, are you awake now?”

“Yes.” Elena replied.

Yolanda took a sigh of relief, and she pushed open the door at the next second, “When you just went back to your room here, Jacob came and took a document which need to be signed by you. And he is waiting downstairs.”

Elena made a face, “Why not inform me of that earlier?”

“I…” Yolanda made an innocent face, “You said you need to have a rest, so I don’t feel like bothering you.”

On second thought, Elena made it all right, because there was nothing important.

Yolanda led Elena out, “You don’t worry. I keep him waiting there. Maybe the document is not wanted in emergency, otherwise, he must have let me wake you up.”

When Elena got to the living room, Jacob was sitting on the sofa. He stood up upon she was in sight. “Madam!”

“What’s up?”

Jacob subconsciously gave a look at Yolanda. Puzzled, Yolanda pointed at herself, “You want me to leave and have a secret talk?”

Before Elena replied, the gate was pushed open, which attracted the attention of the three. Cornel came back with a briefcase in his hand, then got surprised when he saw the three inside.

“Dad!” Yolanda stepped forward and picked his briefcase.

Elena also greeted, sitting there.

Cornel didn’t mind, “Do you have your meal?”

“Not yet, we are waiting for you.” Yolanda held Cornel’s arm and came in with him.

“Where are your mother and grandpa?” Cornel leaned on the sofa, looking so tired.

He was occupied by the things these days, and he was a little overwhelmed.

“Mom is praying for Brother Logan, while Grandpa George having a rest in his room.” Yolanda gave a reply, which pleased Cornel.

Cornel showed a touched look. “Your mom has been so toilful these days, although your brother before…” Speaking, he gave a glance at Elena, “Elena, if you are on nothing these days, you can pray for Logan together with Jacqueline.”

Elena jeered, “I don’t believe in God. You want me to kowtow to it, dad, I am afraid I cannot do that.”

Cornel was aware of her cynicism in her tone, then made a face, “Am I wrong to ask you to pray with Jacqueline? At least she sincerely wants Logan to be alive and come back home soon. Look at you! You stayed in your room all the time, and made faces to us. Why? Are you badly treated in this family?”

Elena curved lips, showing a bright smile. “Then dad, do you know why Logan would go to the Second Ring Road?”

Hearing her words, Cornel felt something odd, “Why? Is it an accident?”

“Accident?”

He should still think it this way. Elena got no idea how to explain it to him.

However, before she explained it, Yolanda was aware of what she wanted to say and interrupted. “Sister-in-law, you cool down. Dad is just talking.”

Cornel got upset, but he had no interests to dig it further. So he waved hands, ignoring Elena’s words.

“Well, I go back room first.” Cornel grabbed his briefcase from Yolanda, then was going to go upstairs, annoyed.

Yolanda was a little freaking out. “What about the meal? It’s time to have dinner.”

“I’m good!” Cornel turned to glance at her, then at Elena.

It’s obvious that he was angry with Elena and everyone knew it. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Elena replied him with a smile, which made him more furious.

Then Yolanda, Elena and Jacob had the supper together. The food was sent to Jacqueline and George.

After the meal, Elena and Jacob exchanged glances, and they understood each other immediately.

"Yolanda." Elena said in being full.

"Sister-in-law?"

"I am a little stuffed, would you like go with me to have a walk in the garden?" Touching her round belly, Elena said.

Yolanda didn't decline because Elena seldom invited her for anything. "OK, I've heard that it's better to have a walk after a meal, and it's good to lose weight."

Elena smiled, got her coat from the maid, then went out with Yolanda.

Yolanda walked for a while to the garden with Elena, then she turned to glance at Jacob, who didn't follow them. "Don’t he follow us?"

"No!" Elena nodded. "We have a walk and breathe the fresh air here."

Seeing Elena enjoying the fresh air in silence, Yolanda asked no more, being with her quietly.

Cornel was upset when the door was knocked although it was polite and slow. He opened the door, "I said I am free of dinner!!!"

His words were swallowed when he saw the man by the door.

Cornel frowned slightly, looking a little surprised while seeing Jacob here, who was smiling politely. "You...you are Logan's assistant, right?"

"Yes. I am Jacob."

"I know you. What's up?" With a look of impatience, Cornel was obviously reluctant to have a talk with this man and wanted to close the door.

Jacob stepped forward and put his hand against the door. "Mr. Brown, may I have your time for several minutes?"

Cornel watched him with precautionary look. "I don't think we should have anything to talk about."

"If I would like to talk about Sir, Logan." Jacob smiled, with confidence. Seemed that he was sure Cornel will definitely agree to talk with him.

His words made Cornel so excited. He grabbed Jacob's hand, "There is some news about Logan?"

"No!"

"Then I have nothing to talk with you." Cornel pushed him away disappointedly and awkwardly. However, Jacob directly stepped into his room, as if he didn't hear what he just said.

Cornel made a long face, "How impolite you are as Logan's assistant for so many years!"
