Chapter 514

Author: Ninth Cup
Chris set down the bottle.

It was half past midnight. Winter had slept for a long time and wasn’t tired, but she was hardly more alert than Chris, who had just finished two bottles.

That familiar feeling had returned. Her mind felt wrapped in fog, her thoughts slow to catch up. It was only after he finished drinking that she processed what he had actually said.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, then closed it again.

In the end, she said nothing.

A cloud drifted across the full mo

  • Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done   Chapter 587

    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

    Just before Dominic noticed them in the greenhouse, Chris had tightened his grip on Winter’s hand, pinned her against the door, and kissed her.Their lips met.More than six months apart had left too much bottled up inside him. The longing had built until it felt almost unbearable.He had missed her so much it had nearly driven him crazy.Instinct took over, and the kiss deepened.“Winnie...”Her name slipped from his throat as he chased the kiss she was trying to avoid.Winter was completely trapped.Chris had one leg braced between hers, keeping her from landing any of the kicks she aimed at him.“Let me... mmph...”The greenhouse was warm.Outside, snow fell steadily while the wind howled against the glass.And at last, Chris was kissing her again.Not in a hallucination.Not in a dream.A low sound escaped him.The rough, breathless sound sent a shiver through Winter.It felt like an electric current ran straight through her body.Her heart seemed to seize and tin

    Chris was still holding Winter from behind, his chest pressed firmly against her back.She could feel his heartbeat clearly through the layers between them.Strong.And a little faster than usual.Pity?Winter had not thought about those three years of marriage in a long time.But for some reason, hearing Chris ask for her pity brought back the version of herself from four years ago.The one who had desperately wanted to marry him.The one who had hoped he might someday fall in love with her.The one who used to wait for him in the attic at Blackwood Manor, hoping he would come home.Later, she had learned about the conflict he had been hiding inside himself and what had really happened on the island five years ago.But that did not erase how she had felt back then.The disappointment had been real.So had the times she had wished he would show her even a little mercy.“I can’t give you the pity you want anymore.”Winter pulled hard against his grip and tried to pry his
