CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1702

Chapter 1702 Stunned By His Respectful Demeanor

“I came here to say goodbye.” Stanley seemed surprised that Caitlin was still here at this moment. After a brief pause, he replied in a somewhat complex tone.

Caitlin said in surprise, “Goodbye? Are you really leaving?”

Stanley lowered his eyes. “Mm-hmm. Did she tell you about me leaving, Mrs. Rivers?”

Upon hearing how he addressed her, Caitlin was taken aback and looked at him with an even stranger expression, “Y-You're actually addressing me respectfully?”

Stanley responded with a hum. “You are my elder, so it's only right for me to use respectful language.”

“No, forget it. I can't bear the respect.” Caitlin waved her hand, saying with a forced smile.

Stanley pursed his thin lips, seemingly wanting to say something. But in the end, he didn't say anything at all.

Seeing him like this, Caitlin didn't have the time to waste on him. She stepped past him, intending to leave.

However, in the end, Stanley grabbed her arm. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Caitlin frowned. “Is there anything else?” Stanley pursed his thin lips, released Caitlin's arm, and then took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to her.

Caitlin saw the sealed letter and couldn't help but express her surprise. “What is this?”

“Please pass this on to Joyce for me,” Stanley replied.

Caitlin frowned. “Why do you want to give this to Joyce? What did you write in the letter?”

To be honest, in this day and age, the fact that people still write letters actually surprised Caitlin.

However, what was even more surprising was that this letter was actually addressed to Joyce.

“I came here to say goodbye.” Stanley seemed surprised that Caitlin was still here at this moment. After a brief pause, he replied in a somewhat complex tone.

“It's nothing much,” Stanley replied casually. “It's just to explain something. That's all.”

“Explain what?” Caitlin didn't accept the letter, seemingly determined to get to the bottom of it.

Stanley frowned. “If you show her, she will know.”

He didn't say what was written in the letter; instead, he shoved the letter directly into Caitlin's hand.

Upon seeing the letter in her hand, Caitlin felt the urge to throw it straight onto the ground.

But in the end, she just couldn't bring herself to be that impolite. At last, she sighed before nodding and agreeing. “All right, I understand. I'll do it for Joyce's sake.”

Stanley hummed in response. “Thank you. I'm leaving now.”

“You're leaving?” Caitlin was startled again. “Are you being discharged from the hospital already?”

Stanley nodded slightly. “Yes, I've already completed the discharge procedures.”

Only then did Caitlin realize that the casual outfit he was wearing was the one he had changed into for his discharge from the hospital, wasn't it?

If he wasn't being discharged, why would he dress like that?

Caitlin had just thought that Stanley came to say goodbye because he was planning to leave tomorrow.

After all, farewells were usually made the day before.

Surprisingly, he was leaving right away.

“You're leaving already? Isn't your bone still healing?” Caitlin frowned at Stanley, showing her disapproval.

No matter what, she did hold a grudge against this child in her heart.

But this child, after all, was someone she had watched growing up. Deep down in her heart, she couldn't help but worry about him.

Stanley naturally understood Caitlin's concerns. A faint glimmer of light flashed through his dark eyes, but it quickly disappeared. However, his expression and overall demeanor softened considerably. “Although it hasn't completely healed, it won't hinder my abilities to walk or work. As long as I don't bump into anything, it'll be fine.”

Hearing him say that, Caitlin nodded. “Really? That's good, then.”

She didn't ask any more questions.

Given their current relationship, it was already quite good that she could ask a question.

Asking another question was simply out of the question.

Of course, Stanley knew this as well. He pushed up his glasses and said, “Well, Mrs. Rivers, I'll be leaving now. Please inform Joyce for me.”

After speaking, he bowed slightly towards Caitlin.

Caitlin was startled by his actions.

She was already shocked by how he addressed her as “Mrs. Rivers” respectfully.

Now that Caitlin witnessed Stanley bowing to her, she was simply stunned.

However, before Caitlin could call him to get up, he had already gotten up and walked toward the elevator.

Upon seeing his back view, Caitlin let out a slight sigh of relief.

Caitlin didn't know what had gotten into Stanley and why his attitude toward her had switched so drastically. However, she still breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him leave.
