Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 112. Custody
Chapter 112Sophia stared at the man standing beside Emily, her eyes lingering on the leather briefcase he held in one hand. The more she stared, the deeper her frown, especially when she noticed he was a lawyer.She looked back at her mother-in-law, whose expression remained far too calm for someone who had shown up at her doorstep without warning.“Can I help you?” Sophia asked, although she already had a sinking feeling that whatever Emily had come to discuss was not going to be pleasant.Emily stepped forward, seemingly expecting her to move aside. “Are you going to leave us standing out here?”Sophia frowned. This was her house, she could do it if she wanted to, but for some reason she couldn’t find herself to do just that. Regardless of their differences, Emily was still Alex’s mom. She hesitated before opening the door wider.“Come in.”Emily walked past her without a word, followed by the lawyer. Sophia closed the door and turned around, watching as the two settled into the li

Sophia was halfway through her breakfast when Alex placed his phone on the table and looked at her with an expression that made her furrow her brows slightly.“What?” she asked, glancing up from her plate.He shook his head and shrugged, taking a sip from her water. “Nothing.”“Alex.”He raised an eyebrow. “Am I not allowed to look at my wife?”“You are. But that particular look usually means you’re about to ask me something.”“No,” he said, knotting his tie while his gaze was still on her. “Perhaps I simply enjoy looking at you.”Sophia tried to suppress her smile and failed. She shook her head, laughing softly, and returned to her breakfast.They sat close to each other, savoring the little peace they had since Addie and Aiden were still upstairs.“How were the children yesterday?” she asked a moment later.Alex pulled an empty chair closer to her and sat down, “Aiden has decided he wants to run a company when he grows up.”“He decided he wants to follow your steps? Just like that?”
Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 110. Come Rescue Me
Sophia had barely settled into her office when her phone rang.She glanced at the screen, expecting it to be Alex checking on her again. Instead, she found herself staring at a name she had hoped wouldn’t interrupt her morning.For a moment, Sophia considered letting the call go unanswered. She had no desire to start another argument or a conversation that would leave her unsettled. But so far she had come to realize that Alice had a way of turning a person’s silence into an accusation, and Sophia wasn’t in the mood to give her another reason to play the victim.She answered.“Hello, Alice.”“Good morning, Sophia. I hope I’m not disturbing you.” Sophia leaned back in her chair. “Is there something you need?”A brief silence followed.Alice cleared her throat and let out a small breath, “I only wanted to check on you. I know things have been difficult lately, and I thought perhaps we could talk.”Sophia almost laughed. Alice had never been particularly interested in her well-being bef
Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 109. Nothing To Discuss
Alex’s office was larger than either twin had imagined. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the city, while a long desk stood near the far end of the room. Shelves lined one wall, filled with books, framed photographs, and awards. Beyond the desk was a seating area with dark leather chairs and a low table.Aiden wandered toward the windows, his eyes widening at the view.“Daddy, we’re so high up!” Addien squealed, her eyes widening in excitement.Alex watched them and nodded with a smile, “Twenty-sixth floor.”“Can we see our house?” Aiden asked.“No, we can’t.”“Why?”“Because it’s not directly beneath us.”Aiden frowned at the city below, clearly unconvinced by the explanation.A while later he came running back from the window. “Daddy, when do we start working?”Alex looked at his son, then at his daughter, who was already climbing into one of the leather chairs.“Right now, apparently.”By ten o’clock, Alex had discovered that working from his office with the twins was considerabl
Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 108. Two Employees
The following morning, Sophia was still trying to convince Adeline that she didn’t need to take three stuffed animals to work with her father.The twins were on their school break, which meant Alex had woken up to the news that his children had decided to spend the day at his office. Sophia had initially suggested they stay home with Olivia, but the twins had been so excited about accompanying their father to work that Alex had agreed to take them.Now, with Adeline clutching a brown rabbit, a teddy bear, and a small doll, and Aiden struggling to put on his shoes, Alex stood at the bedroom door wondering whether he’d made a terrible mistake by agreeing.“Three stuffed animals?” he asked, looking at his daughter.Adeline nodded solemnly. “They all want to come, Daddy.”Alex looked at his daughter for a moment before turning to Sophia, who was struggling to keep a straight face.“I see,” he said. “And what exactly am I supposed to do with three employees who can’t even read?”“They’re n

Sophia and Alex barely said a word to each other the whole drive home. Both of them were occupied with something on their mind. They arrived home a little after 10 PM and the silence between them simply grew further. Sophia came down from the car before Alex could, she was exhausted and she wanted to head up to bed immediately after tucking the children in. Her shift was to start as early as 6 AM the next day and she needed to be up early.She opened the back seat door and reached for Aiden who was sitting and sleeping with his head slightly tilted to the side. Adeline was also fast asleep, her head on top of her brother's legs, drooling on his trousers.Sophia gently placed Adeline's head on the seat and reached for Aiden while pondering how she could carry him out without waking either of them.The other door to the back seat was opened and her eyes caught Alex’s stare, “You look tired,” he said softly.She brushed her fingers through her hair, disheveling it a bit. “I am tired,” a

The days ran by so fast, and soon it was the eve of the fun fair. But compared to how excited about the event Addie had been, she was sourly in a grumpy mood that night, she couldn’t eat, and at first had been asking about her father.Unfortunately, Alex hadn’t arrived yet, and Sophia had been tryi

That made her look up. Something soft and assuring settled in her heart.She nodded at his words, and her lips parted; her voice was quieter this time. “Okay,” she said, then added, “Why aren’t you coming back tonight?”Alex's expression eased like something unclenched in his chest just from hearin

A frown settled on Alex’s brows at her words; he didn’t quite get what she meant at first, but slowly he did, and his expression fell hopelessly. “Sophia…” She raised her hand to stop him from saying anything. “Don’t worry, I understand. You have to go regardless of whatever I say anyway.” She loo

Alex didn’t say a word.Addie let out a small sigh and shifted again, settling deeper into his arms, completely unaware of what had just happened. She was still fast asleep.“I’m so sorry,” Sophia said, rushing toward him. “She must’ve been too tired to wake up. I should’ve made her go before we le
