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

Longer chapters or shorter chapters which do you prefer? The chapters are usually long most of the times, but I normally divide them into two in fear of the cost for longer chapters. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading, I was feeling extra productive today, and I wanted to write a little. It turned into two chapters, and I'm genuinely happy I was able to pen this down before the idea runs away. Please feel extra generous and support my book whichever way you can! thank youuuu. ~Xoxo.

  • Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient   72. Bit By Bit

    Fortunately, they arrived at the school early. Two minutes after they got there, the students started coming out of their classes. The school stood at the edge of the neighborhood, nestled between a line of flame trees and a low white fence. It wasn’t large. Just three single-story buildings shaped in a wide “U,” with a dusty courtyard in the middle where sunlight pooled the water fountain. The outer walls were painted a fading peach, softened by age and sun, and the school’s crest, which was in blue and gold, was just visible near the gate. The school gates stood open when Alex pulled up to the curb. Children’s laughter filled the air as they all rushed out of their classes, filling the space. Sophia exhaled quietly as she stared out the window, her half-eaten cone resting in a tissue on her lap. Alex parked neatly and killed the engine, his gaze shifting to her. “Ready?” Sophia nodded, wiping her hands clean with a tissue before brushing a hand down her trousers and reachin

  • Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient   71. A Little Lick

    Alex rolled the car to a stop when he spotted an ice cream truck parked in front of a restaurant. His gaze slid over to Sophia, who was already looking at the truck too.“I believe you’d prefer this over any kind of ice cream from a supermarket.” He said.Sophia’s attention shifted back to him, and she subconsciously bit her lips. “Actually, I’d prefer any.”Yeah, right. He was certain she wanted this instead. He did recall how much she loved truck ice creams back when they were in high school. Alex clicked his seat belt and did the same with hers before they both stepped outside at the same time.It was only when they came out that he realized there was a line of about ten people before them. He walked beside Sophia, who finally noticed too, “There’s a line.” She slowed to a stop.“Yeah,” Alex muttered, glancing down at her.Sophia didn't want to stay in a line under the hot, scorching sun just to get an ice cream, so she pressed her lips tightly, “Let’s just get it from a supermark

    “Mom?” Sophia called out in shock as her gaze returned to her mother, who was staring at her with a smile.“We were passing by the hospital and wanted to check up on you.” As sweet as that sounded, Sophia would have believed it if it was just her mom, but with her dad present too, she couldn’t believe that they both came all the way here just to check up on her.But rather than say anything, she simply swallowed the lump stuck to her throat as both of her parents looked past her and noticed the person sitting on one of the couches.Her mom’s eyes widened, and she gasped in surprise before speaking up, unable to hold back the shock boldly written on her face, “Alex is here too.” She didn’t say it as a question; instead, it was a surprised statement. She was beyond surprised and didn’t look like she had any intention of hiding her shock.Unlike her mom’s reaction, her father barely showed any emotion on his expression, but Sophua did notice the shock that crossed his eyes too.Unable to

    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. Sophia watched

    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

    “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

    “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

    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
