Rebecca came out with her hair still wet, droplets falling onto her shoulders. Her face looked fresh, and a small smile curved on her lips.

Samuel, who was still leaning on the sofa, immediately turned his head. His gaze softened. “Finished?” he asked quietly.

Rebecca nodded while drying her hair with a small towel. “Yes, my husband.”

Samuel smiled crookedly. “If I had known the result would be like this, I should’ve told you to shower earlier.”

Rebecca shot him a sharp glance but smiled. “There you go again, teasing.”

Samuel chuckled lightly, then sat up straighter. “I’m only giving a compliment, not teasing.”

Before Rebecca could reply, her phone started ringing. The distinct sound of a video call filled the quiet room. The name on the screen made her fall silent. It was from Aric.

Samuel glanced briefly at the still-vibrating phone on the table. “Why don’t you answer it?” he asked flatly.

Rebecca quickly picked up the phone, stared at the screen for a few seconds, then pressed igno

  • MR. CEO, Your Wife Is Back!   SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 100

    SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 100Bella did not stop.In her apartment, with dim lights and her phone in hand, she stared at the screen again. Her eyes were swollen, but her gaze was sharp. Her fingers moved quickly, opening the same app, the same account, and emotions that had yet to subside.“I can’t lose,” Bella muttered. “I am a woman who was hurt.”She started typing again.Do you know what it feels like to accompany someone for six years? From when he fell, until he stood where he is now. But apparently, all of that lost to a past that suddenly reappeared. Even though that woman had humiliated him six years ago, ran away on their wedding day.Bella paused, swallowed, then continued.I don’t blame anyone. I’m just disappointed. Heartbroken. It turns out loyalty is not always appreciated. Just because there is a child, does that mean someone who stayed by his side for six years has to be hurt?She uploaded it. Again.It didn’t take long for the comment section to fill up once more. Sympathy

  • MR. CEO, Your Wife Is Back!   SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 99

    The media coverage began to subside. Several major outlets withdrew their articles, gossip accounts were no longer as active as the day before. Jessy’s name slowly disappeared from the timeline, replaced by other issues. However, the calm did not last long.In her apartment, Bella stared at her phone screen with her jaw clenched. Her hands were trembling, not from sadness, but from anger.“So this is how it’s done,” Bella muttered. “Everything just gets erased like that?”She scrolled the screen, reading old comments that no longer appeared. Some posts could no longer be found at all.Bella let out a short laugh. “Reno… you think this is over?”She stood up from the sofa and paced around the living room. Her mind was crowded. She had indeed stepped back, the engagement was canceled, but there was one thing she could not accept: the possibility of Reno and Jessy being together.“I don’t want them to be happy,” Bella said softly, but full of emotion.Bella sat down again, opened a socia

    SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 98Jessy’s phone vibrated on her work desk. She had just finished signing several documents when Reno’s name appeared on the screen. She stared at it for a few seconds, then answered with a cold expression.“Reno,” Jessy said bluntly.“Jessy, I was just about to call—”“Have you seen the news?” Jessy cut in sharply.Reno fell silent for a moment. “I have.”“Good,” Jessy said, her tone restrained. “My reputation was destroyed overnight. I’ve become a woman who ruins other people’s relationships.”“Jessy, calm down first,” Reno said, trying to ease the tension. “I’m handling this.”“Calm down?” Jessy let out a short laugh, without humor. “You’re telling me to calm down when everyone is pointing at me?”“I won’t let this drag on,” Reno replied quickly. “I’ll speak to the public.”“Speak how?” Jessy asked. “With more generic statements?”Reno exhaled. “I’m responsible. I’ll straighten this out.”“Reno,” Jessy’s voice rose. “Who do you think caused this problem? I stayed

    SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 97The main doors of the Wilson Group building had just opened when flashes of cameras immediately greeted Reno. Several reporters had been waiting since morning, as if they knew exactly when he would come out.“Mr. Reno!” “Is it true that your engagement to Miss Bella has been called off?” “There are rumors about a third party. Is it Elara?”Reno stopped walking. He looked at the crowd with a flat expression. His bodyguards were about to step forward, but Reno raised his hand.“Calm down,” he said briefly.He took one step closer to the microphones. “I will answer one thing.”The reporters immediately fell silent, listening intently.“Yes, our engagement has been canceled,” Reno said clearly. “The reason is simple. Bella and I are not compatible.”“Not compatible in what way, Sir?” “Is it because of Elara’s presence?” “Are you going back to your ex?”Reno took a breath. “There is no third party in this decision.”“Then why was it canceled?” one reporter pressed.Re

    SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 96The European airport still felt cold when Jessy finally stepped outside. She did not have time to enjoy anything. After getting into the car, she immediately opened her phone.“Dilan, let’s go straight to the office,” she said briefly.Dilan, who was sitting beside the driver, nodded. “The team is already waiting. The problem… is more complicated than the initial report.”Jessy exhaled. “I expected that.”Upon arriving at the European branch of the Ellanan Group building, Jessy had not even had time to sit down when several managers immediately surrounded her.“Mrs. Jessy, this report is not synchronized,” said one of the finance staff.“The partner contracts are also stalled,” another added. “They are holding back their signatures.”Jessy raised her hand. “One at a time. Don’t speak at the same time.”She entered the meeting room. Dilan immediately turned on the large screen. Numbers filled the display.“This doesn’t make sense,” Jessy said while pointing at the

    SEASON 2 — CHAPTER 95Reno returned to the Wilson residence with heavy steps. The house felt too quiet even though it was not empty. He sat on the living room sofa, staring at the floor for a long time. His head was full.“I was really careless,” he murmured softly. “Making decisions while emotional.”He rubbed his face, then took out his phone. Jessy’s name appeared on the screen. Reno hesitated for a moment, then pressed the call button.“Reno?” Jessy’s voice came from the other end. “What’s wrong?”“Where are you now?” Reno asked, trying to sound calm.“I haven’t left yet,” Jessy replied. “The flight is delayed. I’m still in the waiting lounge.”Reno let out a sigh of relief without realizing it. “Oh.”“What’s wrong with you?” Jessy asked suspiciously.Reno fell silent for a moment. “Nothing. I’ll call you later.”Before Jessy could ask further, the call ended. Jessy stared at her phone in confusion.On the other side, Reno suddenly stood up. He grabbed his car keys and hurried out
