Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 62. Take You To Her
Alex was silent as he watched her. He didn’t know what to say—or rather, he did. He just didn’t think saying anything in this moment would make Sophia understand. She stared at him, anger glinting through her usually soft eyes. Sophia let out a dry laugh and took another step back. The more she moved away, the more he felt the distance between them widen. How exactly was he supposed to make her understand that he couldn’t just sit back? He had tried—tried to keep his promise to her. But the moment he heard what was happening in the conference room, he simply couldn’t stay out of it. “I told you not to,” she repeated, perhaps urging him to say something. But he only watched her. After a moment, he let out a deep breath, ran a hand across his face, and admitted softly, “I couldn’t sit back. I need you to understand me, Sophia.” Sophia felt her throat tighten, and she turned silent. Then, shaking her head, she shoved aside any reasoning he might have had, choosing instead to act

When Alex suggested taking her to meet Patricia, it didn't cross her mind that he meant literally. Not until she realized she was going with him. In his car. She let out a breath, trying hard not to turn her gaze to him. Her eyes peered through the tinted glass. She wondered why she had agreed to this—when did her heart start becoming soft this way? The car slowed down as the traffic light ahead turned red. Sophia exhaled, shifting a little in her seat as her fingers tightened around the strap of her bag. She could feel Alex’s presence beside her. He didn't even seem affected by the silence; one hand was on the steering wheel, his back was calmly rested against the chair, while his eyes remained on the road. Her gaze flickered to him slightly, and it was then she noticed how he was gripping the steering wheel, then loosening his hands around it. The action continued. “If you keep that up, I won't be able to simply ignore the fact that you're sneaking glances at me,” he suddenly sa

Despite Sophia’s earlier refusal, she ended up allowing Alex to drive her home. She couldn't bring herself to say anything after what he had said. The drive to her place remained completely silent, except for the occasional directions she had to give him. Finally, they arrived, and he drove through the gates of her house. The car slowed to a stop in the driveway, and Alex turned off the ignition. Sophia turned to him. “Are you coming in?” Instead of answering directly, he asked, “Shouldn’t I?” Her eyes flicked to his, and she pressed her lips together. A guilty feeling climbed up her throat as she realized how heartless it would be not to let him at least come inside to see Aiden and Adeline. Without another word, she simply picked up her purse and stepped out of the car, making her way toward the entrance. Alex took her silence as a ‘yes.’ As soon as he stepped out of the car, he clicked his tongue, his face twisting in pain. He shifted his suit aside and pressed a hand to

After dinner, Adeline had suggested they watch a cartoon, specifically choosing the one she wanted, and somehow, she had ended up falling asleep in Alex's arms because she refused to be parted from him. Aiden had also fallen asleep on the couch, between Sophia and Alex, since they were all sitting on the big couch. Sophia glanced over at Alex and noticed his attention was on the TV. For someone she had never seen watching a movie before, he seemed too interested in the Peppa Pig episode playing. Her gaze dropped to Adeline, who had her head resting on her father’s chest, her hands wrapped around his neck. Sophia’s eyes trailed back to Alex's side profile. She pressed her lips into a thin line as a warm feeling filled her heart. She was happy he had spent time with Aiden and Adeline. Aiden was still finding his way around his father's presence, though. But it was a process, and she was certain he'd eventually come around after a while. Subconsciously, her gaze dropped a litt

“It’s not as bad as it looks,” Alex said calmly, trying to button up his suit, but the way he shifted his stance gave him away. She realized he was in pain—had been for a while now. Sophia’s eyes flicked back to his arm. “Take off your shirt.” His brows lifted slightly at the demand, but when she stepped closer, giving him a serious look, he sighed and obeyed. He pulled off the suit completely, and as soon as he did, a gasp left her lips, and her worry increased. His fingers went to his buttons, working them open, revealing smooth, taut skin beneath. Or rather, it should have been smooth. Instead, her eyes landed on the bandage wrapped around his lower abdomen. It was stained red, damp with fresh blood. Sophia inhaled sharply. “Alex.” He glanced away, as if not wanting to see the look on her face. “How long have you been bleeding like this?” Alex didn’t answer immediately. In fact, he didn’t know what to say, standing in front of her glare. “Since we got here,” he

“Oh my God, you did not let him do that to you!” Beth nearly screamed. At the same time, Evelyn squealed softly like a high school teen, “Oh my God! that's so sweet.” They both stopped at their words and spared each other a glance, realizing how much they contrasted each other. “What do you mean by sweet?” Beth asked with a deep scowl on her face. “I should be asking you what you find disapproving about the situation,” Evelyn shook her head, “I promise I really get where your point is, and even more, I understand that your anger for Sophia is justified. But let’s give her a break, a little kiss never hurt anyone.” Beth shook her head and countered almost immediately, “It never hurt anyone, yeah. But can’t you fucking see Sophia is letting him in slowly. Did we really watch her go through pain all those years just so she could easily give in to his kisses on the neck this way?” Sophia groaned, thinking of a way to change the topic. She clutched her head tightly, immensely re

Sophia felt something tight settle in her throat. Alex’s stare on her didn't make things better. But after a long moment of nothing but silence, she slowly nodded. The only reason she had wanted to brush it off as a mistake was fear that he might. If he had said that, it would have hurt her more than she’d like to admit. A deep breath escaped her lips, and she ran her fingers through her hair as nothing but silence filled the space between them. Her eyes flicked to his, and she watched the way his shoulders sagged in relief. He looked like he had been worried about what she’d say. The air between them softened. Only a little, but enough to feel it shift. Her gaze dropped to his abdomen, and she looked up at him to catch him still staring. “What did the doctor say?” She asked him after a moment. Alex unconsciously brushed his fingers across his suit. “He patched it up. And told me it'll be fine if I don't cause a strain on it.” He watched her quietly, before adding, “Don't worr

Sophia swallowed the lump in her throat, watching him as he stared at her lip. The air between them felt so charged and hot that she could feel it prickle her skin. “Yes, I have a lot to do.” His gaze flickered back to her eyes, then she added, “But I'll clear my schedule.” “You’ll come with me?” he asked, this time softer. And his eyes… His eyes were so hopeful. Sophia gave the smallest nod, her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes.” For a moment, neither of them moved. The world around them fell quiet, wrapped in the tension between them. Then he smiled. Not the smug kind, but something gentler. Warmer. Something that made her chest squeeze tightly a little. “Thank you,” he said, and somehow, those two words felt like they held more than they should have. Alex was about to retreat, but then his gaze dropped to her lips again, and his eyes simply traced the lines before he asked slowly, “Can I?” His voice was rough, and it itched something in her senses.

A couple of minutes later, Sophia finally stepped out of the conference hall. A deep breath escaped her lips, and she felt lighter than when she had stepped in. She shut the door behind her and looked up. As soon as she did, she was met with the worried gazes of not just Arielle and Finn, but also Beth and Evelyn. Her eyes widened subtly in surprise. When did they arrive? They all stood up from the waiting chairs outside the moment they saw her. She first noticed the ginger hair tightly packed into a bun before her gaze landed on the silky, flowing brown hair. “How did it go?” Finn was the first to ask as he halted in front of her. Evelyn’s soft voice sliced through the silence. “Oh, Sophia,” she said, her voice laced with concern. She stepped closer, and before Sophia could say a word, Evelyn pulled her into a warm, tight hug. Sophia stiffened, then a warmth spread through her chest. She blinked, a frown forming between her brows as she realized her eyes were wet.
