Chapter 373

Author: Ninth Cup
After Winter and Zion left, the spacious penthouse grew quiet. Only the TV in the living room still played in the background, with laughter and the voices of the show’s guests chatting as they played games drifting through the air.

It only made the dining room feel even quieter.

After taking off his mask, Chris peeled away the fake scar stuck to the corner of his mouth. Looking at the dishes in front of him, he silently picked up his fork.

“Cough...”

The spice hit the back of his nose, and h

  • Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done   Chapter 589

    Winter had no idea why William had suddenly decided to compete with Chris over who was better-looking.But if she was being fair, she honestly could not choose between them.They were handsome in completely different ways.Chris had a cool, refined look.William was more striking, with the kind of presence that naturally drew attention.There was no point comparing them.Still, Winter could not resist teasing him.“If I really had to choose, Richie wins.”William immediately looked offended.Winter laughed.“You’re seriously competing over who’s better-looking? How old are you?”Then she noticed his tie was slightly crooked.She set down the interview notes, reached up, and straightened it for him.William lowered his gaze to watch her.Her movements were completely natural.She was not thinking about anything at all.If anything, she was still treating him like a kid.But his throat moved slightly.He said quietly, “Fine. I’ll let it go this time.”Winter retied his

    It reminded her of the sapphire brooch Chris had bought back at auction.She had refused that too, yet somehow, no matter how many times she rejected it, the brooch always seemed to find its way back to her when she least expected it.A thought suddenly occurred to Winter.Chris had cut the sapphire for that brooch himself.He had designed the brooch too.Which meant the ring in this box...Winter pressed her lips together.She slipped her phone into her bag, and when her fingers brushed the velvet box, she pushed it all the way to the bottom.Out of sight, out of mind.Once the main part of the press conference was over, the Q&A became more relaxed.William had come out publicly on social media years ago, so the reporters knew better than to pry into his love life or ask about marriage.Everyone already knew he was gay.Winter left the room a little early.William had reserved an exclusive interview for her, and she needed to help her coworkers get the equipment ready and

    Early the next morning, Chris stepped out of the master bedroom.He had already been awake for a while, ever since he heard movement coming from Richie’s room next door.When he went downstairs, Richie was sitting in his high chair, waiting for his steamed eggs.He held his favorite little spoon in one hand and had the other clenched into a fist.The little boy stared down at his fist with a serious frown, making small grunting noises under his breath.“What are you doing?” Chris asked as he walked over.Richie immediately stopped.He looked up at Chris, then back down at his fist.He opened his hand, clenched it again, and repeated the motion twice before finally looking up.“Mommy. Exercise.”Chris had no idea that the day before, Winter had earnestly told Richie that clenching her fists counted as resistance training.All he heard was Mommy.“Where is she?”He was asking Mr. White.Mr. White walked over with a bowl of steamed eggs that had already cooled enough for Ric

    Winter had thrown the ring away.At the thought, Gavin lowered his eyes and wisely avoided looking at Chris’s face.He was just about to give Chris his report when two cars pulled into the courtyard through the falling snow.Zion climbed out of the first car.Before he had even fully straightened up, he felt someone staring at him.A chill ran down his spine.He looked over and immediately spotted Chris and Gavin standing by the greenhouse.Chris’s expression was unreadable, but there was something in his gaze that made Zion tense up.He shivered.That was terrifying.He quickly looked to Gavin for help.“Gavin, William sent me over with a gift for Ms. Scott.”He hurried toward the greenhouse without wasting another second.He was on Chris’s turf now, and while people usually did not shoot the messenger, Zion was not about to take his chances.He valued his life too much.“William figured Ms. Scott would be busy with Richie’s birthday all day and would want some time to

    If Chris was still in there, it was because he wanted to be.So he could stay there.“Mr. White.”The housekeeper looked genuinely worried.“The greenhouse is heated because of the orchids, but it’s freezing outside. What if Mr. Xander stays in there so long that he... freezes to death?”Mr. White cleared his throat.“Do what Ms. Scott says. If she says leave him there, leave him there.”Winter went upstairs and returned to Richie’s room.When she had left, he had been sleeping on his stomach.Now he was sprawled flat on his back with both arms above his head, one hand still tangled in his hair as if he had scratched an itch in his sleep.Winter went into the sitting area and took off her coat.As she hung it on the rack, something suddenly fell from one of the pockets.A dark red box.The same box Chris had taken from his coat in the greenhouse.He must have slipped it into her pocket without her noticing.It was small enough to fit easily in her palm.Winter stared at

    When Winter returned to the main house, the first thing she saw was Mr. White standing off to one side with a handkerchief pressed to his mouth as he coughed.The corner he was in was dimly lit, but even from a distance, he looked pale and unwell.“Mr. White!”Winter hurried over.He clearly had not expected to see her there. He tried to suppress the cough, but coughing was one of those things that only got worse the harder you tried to hold it back.Within seconds, his face had turned red.“Why are you coughing so badly all of a sudden?”Winter took hold of his arm and gently rubbed his back with her other hand.She tilted her head, worry written all over her face.“Richie’s asleep. Let me take you to the hospital and get you checked out.”Mr. White tightened his grip on the handkerchief, then lowered it discreetly to his side.He gave her a reassuring smile.“It’s nothing. Something just went down the wrong way.”“Mr. White, I’m not a kid anymore. I can tell the differen
