Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 90. Group Squish Hug
The word was so soft, Sophia almost thought she imagined it.But the way Alex froze told her otherwise. He didn’t move, he didn’t even breathe, as if the world had stopped just for him.Then came a small smile. Unsure at first. But it grew, slow and full of something that made her throat tighten. He looked at Aiden like he was seeing him again for the very first time.“Hey, buddy,” Alex said, his deep voice too low, like speaking too loud might scare the moment away.Alex looked up finally, and their eyes met, and Sophia knew they both felt it.Aiden had called him Daddy.And it was so natural. It didn’t sound like he had forced himself to say it. It was just a soft, probably subconscious word that slipped out of his lips due to surprise.Alex didn’t say anything else. Though Sophia could see the way his fingers curled slightly at his side, like he was stopping himself from reaching out. His eyes stayed fixed on Aiden, blinking a little too fast.And then, just like that, the moment p
Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 89. Waiting For Daddy
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 trying to reach out to him for the past couple of hours, but the call kept taking her to voicemail, and slowly she grew worried because she had spoken to him earlier that morning, and he had told her he was arriving at Evermore that night. And now she couldn’t reach him.Addie had been uncharacteristically grumpy all evening. Her mood was so sour that even Aiden was affected by how down his sister looked. Every time she said something and he retorted, Addie would simply roll her eyes instead of saying anything in return. That was as unusual as it sounded, and even Sophia couldn’t hide her worry anymore.The little girl sulked on the bed beside Sophia, her arms folded across her chest and her bro

Alex pulled the car to a stop in front of the hospital, he killed the engine and his gaze shifted to Sophia at the same time she glanced over at him. After dropping the kids off at school, he drove straight to the hospital. “Are you sure you won’t get late for your flight?” She had insisted on taking her car instead while Alex headed straight to the airport for his flight, but he had insisted on dropping them off himself. She did try to persuade him by mentioning the fact that she would need her car later that day after her shift ended and she needed to go home, but Alex told her he already handled that, and a chauffeur would come pick her up when she was done with her shift. Alex shook his head, and his gaze dropped to the watch strapped to his wrist, “I won’t be. And I still need to drop by the office before heading to the airport.” Sophia nodded in understanding, then she pursed her lips, totally unsure of what to say anymore. A minute passed, and when none of them said a

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 hearing her ask.“I have to catch a flight to Madrid,” he said. “Meeting with a few investors on a particular project. One of them’s only available tomorrow morning, so I need to be there tonight.”Sophia’s brows lifted slightly. “Madrid?”He gave a faint nod. “Just for a day. I’ll be back by Friday, at the latest. I made sure of it.”She nodded slowly, her lips pressing together. “Alright.”Alex stepped closer again, as if reading the quiet thoughts still circling behind her eyes. “Sophia,” he said gently, “I’ll be back in time for the fun fair. I promise.” His fingers brushed through her arms as he stared down at her.“Alright,” A small smile finally settled on Sophia’s lips, then she added, “I’

“Alright. I think that should be all.” Sophia muttered, tugging at Addie’s bow as she tied it into place.Addie took the last bite of her pancake before glancing up at the mirror in front of her. Her eyes lit up, and a smile tugged at her lips. “Thank you, Mummy.” With that, she jumped down from the chair she had been sitting on before glancing over at the bed where her father was busy helping Aiden with his tie.Sophia placed the hairbrush on the drawer before turning to Alex, who was speaking to Adrian.“Is it alright now?” Alex asked, tugging at the tie.There was a small frown on Aiden’s expression, then he answered, “No. Too tight.”“Oh, let me fix that.” Alex had the same frown on his face as he focused on knotting the tie neatly.For someone who had spent more than half his life in business meetings, always wearing ties and knotting them himself, it was oddly satisfying to see that when it came to a child’s tie, Alex was suddenly all thumbs with frowns and more concentrated, li

Sophia glanced over her shoulder toward the slightly ajar bedroom door, heart beginning to pound in her chest. Had they been too loud? She thought they’d kept their voices down. She had kids, for heaven’s sake. She should’ve known better. She mentally scolded herself.Her shoulders stiffened, and she met his gaze again, willing herself to stay composed.“I heard you from my room,” Aiden went on, entirely unaware of the fear brewing in his mom’s chest. “You were arguing with someone.”Arguing? A frown settled on Sophia’s brows, then she blinked, trying to comprehend his words.“I–” She shook her head, letting out a nervous laughter before adding, “What?” “Was it Auntie Olivia?” Aiden asked innocently, lifting a brow as he held his mother’s gaze. “You sounded kind of mad.”Realization of what he actually meant slowly settled in.Sophia’s entire body deflated with a sharp breath. Relief flooded her limbs so fast she had to hold the door frame for balance. Arguing. He heard arguing. Wha
