“Can you help me with my necklace?” Sophia stood in front of the mirror, and her gaze darted to Alex, who just stepped into the room, fixing his cufflinks.

“Sure,” he said, walking over to her.

She handed the jewelry to him and turned around to face the mirror, keeping her gaze on him as she swept her hair up. As soon as he was done with the necklace, Alex took a step back, his eyes trailing over her to admire the cream-colored dress she wore.

“Do you think this dress is okay?” She asked hi

  • 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

  • Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient   111. Terrible Boss

    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

  • Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient   107. Calm Before Storm

    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 morning sun painted the sky, casting a warm glow over the bustling city of Kentucky, a heavily pregnant young lady stepped out of the grocery shop, her blonde hair blended in with the bright rays of the sun, the gentle breeze played with her hair, and the air carried the sweet scent of fresh blo

    On the same night of their divorce, news spread like wildfire across the city of Evermore about the abrupt end of Sophia Smith and Alexander Carter’s one-year marriage.

    As the first rays of dawn broke through the curtains, Alex sat upright, restless and on edge. Thoughts of Sophia consumed him, gnawing at his mind until he couldn’t stay still any longer. It was still dark when he grabbed his jacket and stormed out, determined to confront her before she vanished fro

    Sophia felt foolish for believing a miracle would happen—that Alex would cherish her the way she had always dreamed. He wanted a divorce, and as she always had, she would listen to him. Sitting on the bedroom floor, she let out a shaky breath. He had given her twenty-four hours, but she had no rea
