Untamed Charming Wife

What? A CEO?

Now it was Kayla’s turn to be stunned.

…

The door to the interrogation room swung open again, and a small boy rushed in first, “Daddy!”

His clear voice carried a hint of urgency as Oliver ran straight to Ethaniel.

Seeing his son, Ethaniel’s eyes softened unusually. He reached out and gently touched his soft curls.

A tall figure appeared at the door. Jack glanced at Ethaniel, who was handcuffed to the chair. He leaned against the doorframe, and suddenly laughed, “It’s been so many years, I didn’t expect our reunion to be here. How do you find our police station’s accommodations, Mr. CEO?”

“The conditions aren’t great, but the people…” His gaze fell upon the small figure that slipped in through the crack of the door and scooted along the wall, his thin lips slowly curving into an arc. “Not bad.”

As if sensing the coldness, Kayla shuddered and didn’t need to look to know that icy gaze was coming from Ethaniel.

Gritting her teeth, Kayla walked over with her head down and unlocked the handcuffs on his wrists.

Once freed, Ethaniel stood up and moved his slightly stiff wrists.

“Daddy…” Oliver looked up at Ethaniel and softly called out.

“It’s okay,” Ethaniel calmly reassured his son. He glanced at Kayla, who was looking down, and his lips curved meaningfully. “Let’s go,” he said to Oliver.

As Oliver left the interrogation room, he turned back and shot Kayla a fierce glare.

That stupid woman dared to bring his dad into the police station!

Mick followed behind Jack and Ethaniel, wearing a sycophantic smile. “I’m sorry, Mr. Han. It’s my fault for not properly managing my subordinates. I apologize for the inconvenience and trouble caused.”

Ethaniel leisurely glanced at Kayla, who looked like she wanted to curl up into a ball in the corner. His handsome brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

This arrogant, bad-tempered woman now looked quite endearing in her cautious state.

His sharp gaze lingered on Kayla’s face, and his thin lips pressed lightly together as he spoke slowly, “Whoever made the mistake should apologize.”

“Oh… yes, of course!” Mick quickly pulled Kayla over and nudged her, “Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Han!”

As a police officer, Kayla knew she had to apologize when she was wrong.

The problem was, this was incredibly embarrassing. Years of her career achievements were ruined!

And, so many coincidences weren’t entirely her fault either…

As a police officer, she had the audacity to detain such an important figure in the police station!

Kayla, who had initially tried to justify her actions, now silently mourned her fate in her heart…

“However, Mr. Han is magnanimous and surely won’t hold a grudge against this young police officer, right?” Jack offered Kayla a way out.

Yeah, yeah… a big boss like him surely wouldn’t hold a grudge against a lowly policewoman like me with a meager salary, right? Kayla looked hopeful.

However, Ethaniel glanced at Kayla, who was trying to get off the hook, and his handsome lips parted slightly, “No.”

No?

Kayla was stunned. What did “no” mean? Was he saying he wouldn’t hold it against her, or that he wouldn’t let her off easy?

Jack, being a longtime friend of Ethaniel, understood him well. Seeing that Ethaniel was still looking at Kayla’s innocent and righteous face, he smiled knowingly, “Mr. Han means that he hasn’t heard a proper apology yet.”

“I did apologize!” Kayla was bewildered.

Mick, being very astute, immediately played dumb after hearing Jack’s words and looking at Ethaniel’s expressionless but striking face, “Did you apologize? I didn’t hear it.”
