The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 379

"Opps, I dare not, Daddy, I dare not," Serenity said with a laugh.

This incident was finally over, and everyone on the boat had a relieved smile on their faces. But something came to Susan's attention all of a sudden." Dad, your plan to fake your own death-did Mom know about it?" Oh crap! George's smile suddenly stiffened.

Susan blinked. "Dad, don’t tell me that you haven't told Mom yet?"

George started panicking, "I-I was so anxious about your condition that I-I forgot."

"Dad, you're so dead." Oliver stood up immediately, then moved a little further away from George, "You’d better call her now. If this drags on, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep that puny life of yours."

George sank into despair, and he stared blankly at Oliver. "Why don't you call your mother and explain what's going on here?"

"Dad, did you forget? Your eloquence is better than mine. This matter should be a piece of cake for you," Oliver replied sarcastically, but with a straight face.

George could not help but grit his teeth. That brat. He had never been so bright when it came to other matters.

Oliver was unwilling to take up the responsibility, so George could only do it himself. He stood up slowly, then took his cell phone out and called Luna.

The call had not been connected yet, but George had already rigidified, sitting there like a sculpture. And finally, the call went through.

Luna did not utter a word and George had already started babbling, "Hey Luna, it’s me, I'm fine, Ollie is too, we’re both still alive.”

Luna listened to the familiar voice coming from the other side of the phone, and tears started rolling down her cheeks instantly. She just cried and did not speak.

George could not help but feel anxious. "Don't cry, Luna."

"George Wright!” Luna's eyes were still all blurry, but her voice was ferocious. "You better explain this.”

George did not dare to hesitate and explained the matter in a snap. He then tried to please Luna by continuing his reasoning. "Luna, we're not hiding it from you. However, the more secretive the plan is, the less risky it gets. Plus, you'd provide the most realistic reaction when you get the news about our death if you had no idea about the plan. Only with that would we b e able to fool the person behind the scenes.” 1

"With that being said, Susie and Serene were both rescued?" Luna asked.

"Yes, they’re right beside me now." George could not help but report.

"Put them on loudspeaker! I want to speak to them," Luna ordered directly.

George did so obediently, and Luna talked to her daughters caringly. After that, George took over the call and was about to continue talking. However, Luna hung up the call directly.

With that abrupt end, George was muddle-headed. He listened to the busy tone on the phone, and then stared at everybody else hopelessly. "Please tell me... Did your mother press the hang-up button accidentally?" The others gave him a perplexed expression.

Oliver patted George on the shoulder with a sigh, "Dad, you have another day to think about how you are going to extinguish the forest fire."

"But I-I have difficulties. Plus, you participated in the plan too!" George looked at Oliver helplessly, as if he was trying to involve him in the matter.

Oliver moved further away at once. "Dad, all of us know that you have your difficulties. We also know that you had no other choice. However, Mom’s wrath has to be borne by someone. I'm her son, so she won't d o anything to me."

"I'm her husband. Do you think she’ll be willing to..." George’s voice became lower and lower, and he ended up sinking into despair in the end.
