Sophia’s eyes fell on the wet towel in his hand; she raised a brow at him and stepped out of his way so he could enter the room and shut the bathroom door close.

“What’s that for?” she asked.

“It’s a wet towel," he answered, raising it up so she could see it clearly.

“I know. But what’s it for?” she asked him softly.

Aiden didn't answer her question; rather, he avoided her sharp stare at him. When he didn’t respond immediately, she asked him instead, “First of all, why are you still awake by th

  • 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

  • Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient   106. Deserves Answers

    Alex looked up, his eyes finding Sophia’s, her brows were curved in discomfort. His shoulders slumped slightly, knowing that at this point there was no way he could hold her into believing him blindly, especially not after what Alice just said. His jaw clenched in annoyance, and he darted a look towards Alice, who unfolded a paper she took from her purse before handing it over to his old man whose expression remained blank as he received it and reached for his glasses, settling it on the bridge of his nose to have a closer look at the paper. There was a long moment of silence as everyone waited for a reaction or anything at all, but there was nothing except for the slight tick evident in his jaw as he pursed his lips. Alex knew immediately that whatever his grandfather saw on the paper caused an unbearable displeasure. After about thirty minutes, since the dinner was interrupted, Alex knew one thing for certain—Alice had come prepared, whatever was unfolding was clearly planned

    “Yes, you are speaking with the right person.” Her heart sank, and her fingers instinctively tightened on the steering wheel.“There are a few other numbers, but this one starred as a favorite.
