A frown settled on Alex’s brows at her words; he didn’t quite get what she meant at first, but slowly he did, and his expression fell hopelessly. “Sophia…”

She raised her hand to stop him from saying anything. “Don’t worry, I understand. You have to go regardless of whatever I say anyway.” She looked like she had resigned completely.

Alex stepped forward, shaking his head. “If I don’t go, she’s going to show up here and cause a scene.”

“Elena will be there, right?” Sophia said softly, wrap

  • 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

  • Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient   105. Paternity Test

    Bile rose up Sophia’s throat and all of a sudden she wanted to be anywhere but there. She wasn’t sure what to do except stand in the middle of the sudden disruption brewing right in her presence. And as if they could all sense her discomfort, every single eye darted toward her at the same time. She could barely look anyone in the eyes, but she still felt the sharpness of their gazes pressing into her. There was pity. Smugness. And heat from a pair of eyes that felt like satisfaction. There was another look she couldn’t quite place but she ignored it all and her attention settled on Alex. He was looking at her with warmth as he reached for her hand. The way he looked at her made something in her chest ache. His eyes didn’t flicker away. They stayed on her begging her to trust him. Sophia swallowed. She wasn’t sure how long his hand had been outstretched, waiting for her, but eventually she took it. The moment she did, she noticed the slight drop of his shoulders, like he’d been hol

  • Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient   104. A Set Up

    “Annabelle,” Sophia said with a small smile as she turned around to find Alex’s younger sister beaming at her with a bright smile; her eyes, which were similar to her brother's, were warmer and of a deeper shade. “Hi, Sophia. It's been ages, and hello???” Annabelle took two steps back, and another, her gaze trailing lower. “You look gorgeous.” Sophia and Annabelle used to be as close as sisters, and the latter was the closest to a sister that Sophia ever had. But they eventually lost contact when Annabelle left for school a few months before Sophia and Alex married. Due to how tight her calendar and schedule were at that time, Annabelle was unable to attend the wedding. She was studying a five-year course in law at Cambridge, and by the time she first returned for holidays, Sophia was already gone. Alex never spoke about what happened, and the family learned quickly not to ask. “You too,” Sophia said, taking in Annabelle's appearance. She'd grown into herself. She looked taller wi

    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

    Alex snapped his fingers. “Two weeks ago, on Friday, you sent me a text about staying over at a friend’s place, didn’t you?” His voice was sharp, his pale green eyes fixed on Sophia with an intensity that made her stomach churn. She frowned. “Me? Sent you a text?” Confusion flickered across her fac

  • Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient   1. Divorce Papers

    Sophia glanced down at the plate of food before her. Absent-mindedly, she rubbed her abdomen, and let out a soft breath. Hopefully, the presence of a new life between them would tighten their bond. Hopefully. The house was silent and uninviting, as usual. She couldn’t wait for Alex to return. Bar
