The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 296

"Ouch." Anna snapped out of it with Oliver’s reminder and blushed instantly. Once she talked to Jacob, she forgot about everyone else.

Oliver was rather surprised by Anna's girlish mannerism. Looking at how she was acting, it was obvious that she was smitten. He could not help scrutinizing Jacob.

Then, Oliver realized that he recognized the man.

"You’re the developer of the SL System?" Oliver asked with interest.

"Yes," Jacob answered.

"Hahaha!" Oliver looked both approving and admiring. "Good job! The system is our Canadian pride. And Joseph Shaw that fool, his sh*t-eating self was hilarious."

Oliver could not help cackling when he recalled the video.

What he watched was obviously an internal circulated uncensored video, so he managed to catch a clear sight of Joseph's embarrassment.

"Oliver, Jacob's amazing," Anna said with a grin like she was sharing his pride.

Oliver looked at Anna before looking at Jacob and made several nods. "Mm, not bad, quite the match."

“What are you saying..." Anna blushed harder.

"You, girlie, I was going to fight for justice for you, but now it seems that you don't need my help at all?" Oliver felt amused.

"Ah, I have nothing for you to fight about. It was a small misunderstanding previously. It's all been cleared up now. Besides, I wasn't exactly treated badly," Anna said and ran to Susan. "Oliver, let me introduce you to Susan, aka Mrs. Shaw. It's odd, but the first time I saw Mrs. Shaw, I felt like I'd known her for a long time. Mrs. Shaw feels the same way towards me, right?"

Anna looked up at Susan with the latter nodding with a beam.

Oliver took a casual glance at the said girl before his eyes widened.

Her eyes... How similar!

It would have been fine if he did not notice it, but now that he did, Oliver could not shift his gaze away from Susan's face.

He stared at her as time ticked by, putting a frown on Julian as he blocked the former's gaze.

"General Wright," Julian called him out directly, "Is it not a little improper to be staring at somebody's wife?"

"My apologies." Oliver tore his gaze away, still looking a little dazed.

She looked really similar. Could there be such a coincidence in this world?

No, it was impossible.

"Oliver, are you coming to take me back? But I don't want to go back yet," Anna said in a huff, not noticing Oliver's oddity.

Her brother could not even leave the military, so it meant a lot when he came to look for her personally. H e was definitely taking her back now that he found her.

For some reason, however, she could not bear to part with that stupid man...

Anna stole a peek at Jacob, feeling mounting frustration. He still owed her a favor.

"Don't want to go back? Then we won't for the time being," Oliver stated straightforwardly.

"Huh?" Anna looked at her brother in confusion, deeply doubting that her ears had failed her.
