Secretly Married to a Wealthy Husband Chapter 491 – Another Dinner Alone

Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Another Dinner Alone
He hastily returned just to help her out of her predicament, yet, she felt as if the relationship between them had somewhat faded.

Was it because of their busy work life?

However, even when he returned at night, he no longer touched her.

Was it because he was too tired from work?

Why did she have such a strong illusion that their relationship was becoming weaker and weaker, both physically and emotionally?

Baron Stuart had already driven away by now, but Emily Walker’s gaze lingered on the direction of the grand entrance gate, deep in thought.

However, her mind did not dwell on this for too long, as Emma Hudson’s words once again occupied her thoughts.

Not her biological parents? How could that be possible?

Ever since she was young, she had never heard anything about her not being the biological child of her parents. It must have been her aunt’s jealous fury that led her to say such things.

Thinking about this, Emily sighed and settled down on the sofa, lost in thought.

.

Before dinner, Baron Stuart still called back.

He had to attend a social engagement tonight and wouldn’t have time to come back for dinner.

Although Emily didn’t want to dwell on this issue, was he genuinely that busy? Too busy to even eat dinner after work?

Wasn’t she a CEO? Wasn’t she the boss? Couldn’t he just give up on one deal to accompany her for dinner?

As she thought about this, Emily suddenly felt like she was being very unreasonable.

If he casually gave up on deals, the Futuren Group would not have expanded worldwide.

It seemed like she had really spent too long at home and was becoming a resentful wife, confined indoors!

Leaning on the dining table, she had no appetite for the food in front of her.

Mrs. Noelle walked over, seeing her spiritless look. She seemed to know that Emily had been eating alone for the past few days and felt lonely.

“The Young Master has been busy these few days, and the Young Madam will have to dine alone again today.” After setting the last bowl of soup on the table, Mrs. Noelle smiled at her, trying to comfort her.

Upon seeing Mrs. Noelle, Emily suddenly perked up and asked, “Mrs. Noelle, has he ever been this busy before?”

So busy that he couldn’t come home for dinner for several days, or even… didn’t want to do that certain thing.

Emily recalled that at the beginning of their relationship, he couldn’t bear to go a single night without touching her. But now, he could actually go half a month without doing so.

Could it be like what people said online – that a man’s interest in a woman only lasts for a short period of time when she’s still fresh and new to him?

And now, had she already passed her “expiration date” to him?

At this thought, Emily felt a sudden pang in her heart.

Seeing her dejected look, Mrs. Noelle couldn’t help but feel sympathetic, “Young Master is indeed very busy sometimes. Ever since the Master handed over the entire corporation to him, many tasks became the Young Master’s sole responsibility. Back when he was living at home, it was quite common for him to be too busy to come home for dinner, and his sleep was often short.”

What Mrs. Noelle said was true. Ever since Zachary Stuart entrusted everything to Baron Stuart, he rarely returned to Stuart Manor for dinner due to his hectic work schedule.

However, he wasn’t always this busy. Occasionally, when there were significant or essential matters, the Young Master would personally take care of them, and this would keep him occupied for a period of time.

Sometimes it would be for a week, or half a month, or even a month. But once the busy period was over, things would soon return to normal.

After all, there weren’t that many things that required the Young Master’s personal attention. Once those were dealt with, he would have a break for a while.
