Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 169: Do You Have No Shame?

Audrey Sutton replied, "They said some students and teachers are meeting up, probably won’t be back soon."

Phoebe King sighed, "It’s okay, as long as he comes back."

"Go Sister Phoebe!"

Audrey Sutton remembered Shane Warner had said Phoebe King was just momentarily intrigued, but seeing the way Phoebe King was now, she didn’t seem like someone who would easily give up.

Anyway, she felt that when you truly like someone, even knowing you’re hitting a dead end, you still have to give it a go.

Phoebe King thought to herself, with social events like this, Stephen Sutton probably wouldn’t be back for a while, so she took out her phone and ordered some takeout.

Half an hour later, the delivery person brought the food upstairs, and Phoebe King was waiting at the elevator entrance.

After receiving the takeout, Phoebe King opened the box and started eating by the corridor window.

For Phoebe King, eating didn’t require any ceremonial feel, as long as her stomach was full.

With the food box emptied, Phoebe King wandered around the whole floor, and finding it really boring, she took out her phone and sat against the wall, playing games.

With a game to kill time, time seemed to pass much faster.

After playing four or five games, the time reached eleven thirty.

Phoebe King yawned and put away her phone, thinking he should be back soon, right?

She ran to the corridor window and looked downstairs, just in time to see a car parked below.

From up high, she couldn’t see what kind of car it was, and besides, she wasn’t familiar with Stephen Sutton’s car.

Soon, the car door opened, and a man and woman got out.

Slightly nearsighted, Phoebe King squinted her eyes and looked closely, feeling the man looked a bit like Stephen Sutton, but who was the woman?

The two were chatting as they walked to the car’s trunk, opened it, and took out a large bouquet of flowers and a gift box as big as a head.

Then, they both walked into the building.

Phoebe King thought dumbfounded, she remembered Audrey Sutton said Stephen Sutton didn’t have a girlfriend?

But seeing this, the two seemed like a couple returning home together.

Could it be Stephen Sutton was dating someone and hadn’t told the family?

Thinking of this, Phoebe King wasn’t discouraged; instead, she felt that since he hadn’t brought the girl home, it meant the girl was still being evaluated.

Seeing the elevator numbers start to rise, Phoebe King quickly turned and returned to the corner wall, took out the Santa Claus outfit from her backpack, and quickly put it on.

Then she quietly hid behind the wall, able to see Stephen Sutton’s door from her angle.

The sound-controlled light dimmed.

Phoebe King’s heart suddenly tensed; it was so quiet she could hear her own "boom boom" heartbeat.

A few seconds passed, and sounds came from the elevator’s direction, followed by a woman’s voice: "Thank you, Professor Sutton, for driving me back again."

Stephen Sutton then answered, "It’s not a bother at all, I can stay here anyway."

"That’s true, but it really saved me time."

Their footsteps gradually approached, causing the sound-controlled light to turn on again.

Phoebe King stood motionlessly behind the wall; her initial plan was to rush out at this moment, but she didn’t expect he would bring back a woman, so Phoebe King chose to stay hidden and observe the situation first.

Watching the two emerge from behind the wall, Phoebe King finally saw the woman’s appearance.

With straight black hair, a small face that looked delicate, her demeanor seemed refined, probably between twenty-five and twenty-eight, and she seemed to be a teacher too.

Stephen Sutton first noticed the abnormality outside his door, then the lady teacher also saw it.

Outside the door, in a not-too-big area, rose petals were piled to form a heart shape,

"What’s this..." The lady teacher pointed to the heart-shaped petals outside his door, feeling puzzled and unsure of the situation for a moment.

Stephen Sutton quickly turned to look around, as if searching for something.

The lady teacher asked, "Could it be something your students did?"

Stephen Sutton immediately thought of someone, because he felt this kind of tacky tactic, probably only that woman could pull it off.

"Don’t worry about it, I’ll clean it up later. You go ahead and unlock the door, so I can leave the stuff inside."

The lady teacher gave a thoughtful dry laugh and nodded before taking out a key from her bag to unlock the room next door.

Phoebe King, watching secretly, suddenly understood, turns out she’s a neighbor.

Realizing this point, Phoebe King felt there was no need to hide anymore.

She took out her phone to play a Christmas song, giving herself a BGM.

As the song played, the two people opening the door turned towards her direction simultaneously.

The next second, they saw a bright red figure emerge from the shadows, startling the lady teacher who took two steps back.

Stephen Sutton simply frowned, showing obvious displeasure as he looked at the Santa, with eyes neither surprised nor pleased, and even tinged with a bit of coldness.

Phoebe King was afraid of being recognized by him, so she dared not make a sound, just clutching a large gift box almost a cubic meter in size as she walked towards him.

She originally wanted to prepare an even larger box to put herself inside, but was afraid he’d just throw the box out, so she didn’t dare do so.

"Is... this something you arranged?" The lady teacher asked with some surprise, looking a bit overwhelmed, thinking Stephen Sutton had prepared this surprise for her.

Stephen Sutton had already guessed the person under the costume, because apart from Phoebe King, he thought no one else would do something so silly.

Ignoring the gift box Phoebe King was handing over, he simply turned calmly to the lady teacher and said, "You go inside first and get some rest."

Confused, the lady teacher dazedly lifted her foot to walk inside, but before entering the room, she glanced at the Santa several times, with confusion and a hint of fear for the unknown in her eyes.

The lady then placed the flower bouquet she was holding by the entryway and took over the gift box from Stephen Sutton.

Stephen Sutton didn’t go inside the room, but after helping the lady teacher close the door, he turned back to look at Phoebe King.

Phoebe King felt a chill down her spine from being watched under the costume.

She thought he couldn’t possibly recognize her, so she gathered her courage and pushed the box towards him.

Stephen Sutton didn’t take it but walked forward and directly pulled off the Santa headgear.

Phoebe King instinctively wanted to reach out to stop him, but her hands were full with the gift, leaving her unable, and the headgear was pulled off by him.

Being unmasked, she gave a dry laugh towards him, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "Surprise!"

"Aren’t you shameless?" His tone and expression were stern, showing no appreciation or friendliness at all.

"Wow—" Phoebe King felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head, her fantasies instantly vanishing into thin air.
