Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 758 Keeping Each Other Company

But children were highly sensitive.

Queeny knew that she was superfluous to this world.

Her birth father had gone. Her birth mother couldn’t look after her, either. Like a piece of drifting

duckweed, she had been leading a wandering life.

But now, she finally found someone willing to give her a home. This man bought her beautiful clothes

and taught her reading and writing. Of course, she would want to hold on to him and never let go.

At the end of the day, despite her shrewdness, Queeny was still a child who felt insecure.

The only way that she would gain a little sense of security was to prove that she was not useless to Mr.

Webber.

She didn’t want to be a worthless person who only took but never gave.

Mr. Webber had, of course, seen through her worries.

He felt both pained and resigned. Though he didn’t approve of this, he also knew that this was the only

way that she could get some comfort.

Thus, he let her do the chores.

Just like this, Queeny lived in the orphanage until she was 18.

She and Felix had also accompanied each other for nearly a decade.

That decade was unforgettable to Queeny.

So was it to Felix.

Strictly speaking, the two both had no families around. In some sense, they were like two entangled

roots that absorbed nutrients together and grew together.

During the 10 years, Meredith and her second daughter, Sarah Dempsey, came to see Queeny several

times. Except for them, no other people in the Dempsey family ever visited her.

Queeny did not hate Sarah, for she knew that no matter who was in the wrong, Sarah had nothing to © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

do with this.

She was just an innocent child. When Queeny was kicked out, she hadn’t even been born yet.

Thus, every time Sarah brought her some snacks or toys, she would accept them with delight.

She appreciated Sarah’s kindness and also wanted to see her as her family.

After all, they were half-sisters.

Plus, Sarah was young at that time. She didn’t understand adults’ grievances.

She also couldn’t understand why Queeny, her sister, didn’t live in the big house with her family but in

an orphanage.

She had asked many people about this. But no grown-ups cared to tell her the truth.

Time passed by quietly.

When Queeny was 18, Mr. Webber passed away.

Felix already left the orphanage two years before that.

Unlike Queeny, he was only there for study. He was a guest who would leave sooner or later.

But Queeny had truly regarded this orphanage as her home.

Therefore, even though Felix left, she continued to stay there.

But the two had lived under the same roof for so many years. Even after they parted ways, they still

held each other dearly in their hearts.

Queeny would never forget what Felix said to her under that sycamore tree in the yard the night before

he departed.

He asked her, “Queeny, will you go with me?”

She smiled back at him and gently shook her head. “Sorry, I can’t.”

Yes, she couldn’t leave with him.

Although Mr. Webber had passed away, the orphanage still needed someone to run it.

It was all thanks to Mr. Webber’s adoption and care that Queeny had grown up happily. Thus, she

couldn’t just walk out on the children in the orphanage.

Felix also understood this.

But he had to pursue his unfinished cause. He couldn’t stay here with her and run the orphanage for

the rest of his life.

Hence, eventually, he took off.

But before that, he told Queeny that if she ever needed help, she could go to his castle to see him.

Queeny nodded heavily.

Then, the two turned around and headed in opposite directions, not looking back again.

Thus, the crush they had on each other was not revealed.

It was already two years later when they met again.

At that time, the town was undergoing a demolition project. The orphanage was relocated, and

someone else was sent over to take charge.

Queeny no longer had to stay there to guard the orphanage for Mr. Webber. Therefore, she left.

Then, one thing led to another, and she joined the Dragon Club. After taking the training, she became

one of the best assassins there.

No one could tell that this seemingly gentle and sweet girl was callous enough to send bullets into other

people’s chests.

At that time, Queeny still had no idea that Felix was the head of the Dragon Club.

She went to visit him with the anticipation that maybe they could be a couple.

The two started dating and had some very sweet memories.

But later, Felix learned about what she was doing.

He strongly opposed it and ordered her to quit the Dragon Club and never do such things ever again.

Queen was baffled at that time. She didn’t know why Felix reacted like this. She had her own life to live.

She felt that she was able and entitled to make her own choices and bear the consequences.

But Felix didn’t allow that. As a result, they had a falling-out. The emotional rift between them kept

expanding.

Later, during a mission, Queeny accidentally found out that Felix was actually the person in charge of

the Dragon Club.

He only wanted her to quit because he knew how sordid this business was. He was aware that nothing

about it was as simple as it seemed.

He hoped the girl he loved could remain pure, upbeat, and intact without being polluted by any

darkness of the world as she was when he first met her.

However, how many people could get what they wanted in the world?

Queeny didn’t want to be attached to anyone. She was hungry for power, even though it meant she had

to face endless hardships in life.

She hoped that when disasters befell, she would not be a burden to her beloved one. Instead, she

wanted to be his most reliable and trustworthy partner.

Yet, that meant nothing to Felix.

He hated to see her in the Dragon Club, getting involved in those dangerous missions.

To make her quit, Felix even coerced her as the boss of the Dragon Club.

Queeny was incandescent with rage at that time.

She thought Felix was the most unreasonable person in the world.

In a huff, she quit the Dragon Club. But shortly after, she joined the Rosefinch Club that was competing

against the Dragon Club.

Then, the two started to give each other the silent treatment. It was not a big deal. After all, people

following different ways couldn’t work with each other. Since they had different pursuits, they didn’t

have to stick together.

But what they didn’t expect was that later, a big dispute broke out between the Rosefinch Club and the

Dragon Club.

The Dragon Club lost some confidential files. All the evidence showed that Queeny was the culprit…

As those days resurfaced in her mind, Queen closed her eyes.

The air was sweet and moist, because lilies were blooming. Yet, she felt rather cold and doleful.

Indescribable scornfulness welled up inside her along with overwhelming pain, paralyzing her body.

She even couldn’t feel her fingers.

But Sarah didn’t seem to have noticed her abnormal behavior. After hearing Queeny’s long story, she

also felt rather troubled.
