My Bossy CEO Husband Chapter 252: Lonely

"Oh, right!"

Luke nodded and answered the phone.

Then, glancing at Ryan, he thoughtfully turned on the speakerphone.

"Bruce, what's up? Why are you calling so late?"

"Hi, Uncle Luke.I'm back."

"I heard," Luke said, stifling a yawn.

"Well, did you call to meet up? Sorry, I have too much work these days.I'm exhausted!"

"Uncle Luke, I heard from the servant that Precious was sick.Is she feeling better now?"

"Yes, she’s fine now."

After chatting with Luke for a while, Jeffrey finally got to the point.

"Uncle Luke, do you know where Wendy and Ray are?"

At the mention of Wendy's name, Luke looked at Ryan, who was staring at the phone with a frown.

Understanding Ryan's thoughts at once, Luke let out a cough.

"Bruce, it's so late.Why are you looking for Wendy at this time?"

"I'm worried about her."

Hearing that, Luke laughed silently and winked at Ryan.



‘‘Ryan, look! Your nephew has come to steal your woman again.In the past, it was understandable, but
now, the truth is that you're Ray's father, which means that Bruce is Ray's cousin.How dare Bruce still
want to pursue Wendy?’’

Even though Luke didn't say those words out loud, Ryan seemed to hear them, because he cast a
sharp look at him.

Luke shrugged his shoulders and shifted away slightly to keep a distance from Ryan.

"Well, Uncle Luke, do you know where Wendy is?"

Jeffrey continued in a concerned voice.

Clearing his throat, Luke said, "I don't know.I've been very busy recently, so I haven't talked to Wendy
much.Ryan is close to Wendy because of Precious.Why don't you ask him?"

Jeffrey stiffened.

"Shit! It's the middle of the night, and Uncle Ryan has insomnia.I'd have to be out of my mind to bother
him now"

"Bruce..."

"Well, I won't disturb you anymore, Uncle Luke.I'm hanging up!"

Before Luke could finish his words, Jeffrey hurriedly interrupted him and hung up the phone without
hesitation.

Luke's jaw dropped as he stared at his phone.

It turned out that Bruce had called him with a clear motive in mind.



And as soon as Bruce realized that he was useless, he just tossed him away.

Thinking of that, Luke narrowed his eyes.

He walked up to Ryan and tried to stir up trouble.

"How dare Bruce! Ryan, look at him.He's Ray's cousin.In fact, Wendy is his aunt, but he still wants to
pursue her.You can't let him go easily.Ryan, you have to teach him a lesson!’ Ryan looked at him
expressionlessly, without showing any reaction.

Luke touched his nose, feeling a little awkward.

"You're angry that he hung up on you so abruptly, aren't you?" Ryan asked casually.

Luke didn't dare to answer, but it was the truth.

Shooting him a cold glance, Ryan kicked him again.

"Go to sleep!"

"But Ryan, are you really not worried? Bruce is so popular.Women of all ages would kill to marry
him.Aren't you afraid that Wendy would fall for him?" Luke pressed.

Ryan still looked as calm as before, as if he wasn't worried in the slightest bit.

"No." Luke was stunned.

‘What? How is he so confident? It doesn't make sense.Wasn't it because he was afraid that Bruce
would steal Wendy away that he found an excuse to send Bruce to the US? That wasn't a long time
ago.Why is he so unbothered all of a sudden?’

"Ryan..."



"No one can take Wendy away from me," Ryan said, as if reading Luke's mind.

Luke raised his eyebrow.

"How are you so sure?" Ryan snorted.

"Do you think Precious will agree?"

Precious had been overjoyed to find out that Wendy was her biological mother, and clung to her more
than ever.

These days, except for when she had to go to school, she didn't want to be separated from Wendy at
all.

Even now, she was sleeping soundly in Wendy's arms in another room.

That was how possessive she was of her mother.

If Bruce still thought he could win Wendy over, he must be dreaming.

With Precious in his hands, Ryan was not worried at all.

He calmly turned off the bedside lamp and lay down to go back to sleep.

Luke was at a loss.

"Ryan!" he called out again.

"Keep your voice down.You may wake your sister-in- law up,"

Ryan hissed.

In the darkness, Luke's eyes widened in astonishment.



"Sister-in-law? Ryan, aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself? Wendy hasn't even agreed to be with
you, but you're already calling her your wife.

Have you asked her for her opinion?’ This was what Luke thought to himself, he didn't dare to speak it
out.

Lowering his voice, he asked, "Ryan, since Bruce is no longer a threat, do we still need to send him
away to the US?"

In the dark, Ryan's voice sounded low and husky.

"He won't go anymore."

"What?"

Luke frowned in confusion.

"I thought he always wanted to step into Hollywood.Now, he finally has a chance.All the actors would
die for such a chance, but he's just going to throw it away?"

Ryan sent Bruce away to the US because of his selfish motives.

But still, he had given Bruce a chance to go to Hollywood.

After thinking for a moment, Luke said, "Ryan, it seems that Bruce has deep feelings for Wendy.He's
even ready to miss his shooting for her!"

Ryan didn't say a word.

At first, Bruce had debuted in the entertainment industry as a singer.



Then, he had decided to become an actor instead.

For him, these were just hobbies that he did for fun.

But when it came to Wendy, it seemed that Bruce attached great importance to her.

Ryan was clear about this.

"But Ryan, if Bruce refuses to go back to the US, it will be a breach of contract..."

"Ask the lawyer of Oliver Group to deal with it!"

"Okay." Luke's shoulders gradually relaxed.

‘Wow.” Even though Ryan acts cold, he still cares about Bruce!

"Ryan...What about Brian? Do you want to continue to make trouble for him?"

At the mention of Brian's name, the temperature in the room seemed to drop.Luke was unnerved by
the sudden silence.

"Ryan...?"

"Yes," Ryan answered coldly.

After all, Brian was bold enough to want to keep Wendy as a mistress.

If Ryan didn't teach him a lesson, Brian would never know the gravity of his mistake.

Luke could obviously see how big of a difference there was in Ryan's attitude towards his two
nephews.

He was confused at first, but after some thought, he understood it.



Although both Bruce and Brian wanted to pursue Wendy, Bruce was sincere towards her, while Brian
was not.

Four years ago, along with Eris, Brian had hurt Wendy.

Three years ago, he had made Wendy suffer from a hemorrhage, which had almost killed Precious and
Raymond.

These two things alone were unforgivable, not to mention his dirty thoughts and tricks.

"Ryan..."

"Are you going to sleep or not?" Ryan hissed irritably.

"If you don't want to sleep, go home!"

Luke quietened down like a wounded puppy.

He felt aggrieved.

‘Ryan, do you know why I came here instead of staying in the villa? I was worried that Wendy would
ignore you.At that time, you would feel sad and lonely, so I specially came here to comfort you and give
you company.Lying in this narrow bed with you isn't exactly my idea of having a good rest, you know! I
sacrificed so much for you.Not only didn't you recognize it, but you also scolded me for it! You've gone
too far!’

He bit the corner of the pillow unhappily and shrank back in the bed.

‘Humph, I've made up my mind.I won't help you pursue Wendy anymore.I'll be happy if Bruce takes
Wendy away from you.After that, you will become her uncle too!’
