Chapter 1161 - 1162: I Miss You
It didn’t take long for the car to quiet down, and Anna Morgan glanced at Carter Lockwood sitting beside her. His expression was calm, exuding an aura of aloof elegance.
Anna Morgan didn’t feel so; to her, Carter was the gentlest.
"Husband."
Anna turned her head to look at Carter and called him. Her voice was gentle, filled with happiness.
"Mm." Carter responded.
When Anna was by his side, how could he be such a gentleman!
Sitting upright, he was restraining himself, feeling nervous.
Now, hearing Anna call him so softly, his heartbeat instantly accelerated. Not only was his responding voice as soft as water, but the gaze with which he looked at her was filled with utmost affection.
"What’s the matter?"
He asked.
Carter had been aloof since he was a child, not to mention laughing; even speaking gently to girls was difficult for him.
Back in school, girls who didn’t understand him would give him love letters, chasing after him.
He wasn’t moved, only felt annoyed.
Once, he couldn’t make things clear with a girl who confessed to him; afterward, he threw away any letters he received, making the girl cry and not dare to approach him again.
For someone like him to fall in love with a girl ten years younger than himself, it wasn’t surprising that others found it strange, even he did.
When he realized his feelings for Anna, he unconsciously became gentle with her, his tone of speaking was different, slow and gentle.
Unfortunately, no matter how gentle Carter was, it was useless; his facial expressions and tone were habits formed over the years.
In the past, Anna didn’t feel that Carter liked her because of this demeanor.
She even felt scared and wanted to run away when she saw his cold expression.
"I just wanted to tell you."
Anna smiled; she wasn’t afraid of Carter at all now.
People said Carter was cold and heartless, but she believed he was the best man.
Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Carter waited for Anna to speak, hearing her smile as she leaned close to his ear.
"I missed you."
The soft four words were like a warm spring breeze blowing into Carter’s heart, making him itch with affection.
Yet, with Carter’s impassive face, no matter how turbulent his emotions, his outward appearance remained calm.
"Didn’t you miss me?"
Seeing Carter’s lack of reaction, Anna asked, slightly displeased.
"I did!" Carter replied.
For him to express that he missed someone was rare and precious.
Anna didn’t fully understand Carter’s nature, but the assistant driving in front had been with Carter for many years and knew him inside out.
This assistant was the one who had helped Anna at the hotel suite last time, dealing with President Fitzgerald.
He received a call from Carter asking him to drive over to pick him up, thinking Carter was heading straight home. Midway, he was told to turn around to pick up Anna.
The assistant had known about Anna and Carter’s relationship before.
He knew that Mr. Lockwood had a girl on his mind, and that person was Anna.
Carter was very attentive to anything related to Anna.
And Anna had been doing so well in the entertainment industry not just because of the Morgan Family, but also because of Carter.
However, Carter had done things without letting Anna and her family know.
Upon learning of Carter’s engagement, the assistant immediately thought that Mrs. Lockwood was Anna.
Carter had the ability to control his marriage affairs. As he grew older, many blind dates arranged by the Lockwood Family’s elders were rejected by Carter.
The Lockwoods couldn’t do anything about Carter. When he suddenly announced his marriage, it had to be with Anna.
