Night fell, but the unease from Eleanor’s words still lingered in me. When I got home earlier, I only managed a quick shower and got ready because Yuan and I had a date tonight. He arrived around seven. He hadn’t even changed and immediately led us to a popular city restaurant.

“Are you okay? You’ve been quiet since we got here,” Yuan said as soon as we arrived.

I held onto his arm and smiled when the guard greeted us.

“I’m fine. Probably just tired, but it’s nothing,” I replied.

When we reached the table he had reserved, I slumped lazily into my chair. He sat across from me, so I couldn’t help but look at him. He looked so happy. I couldn’t ruin tonight just because of what happened earlier.

“Are you sure? What do you want to eat?” he asked gently.

I simply smiled at him. “The usual. Just no pasta,” I said.

He nodded and picked our orders from the menu the waiter handed us. A little while later, as we waited for our food, my phone vibrated. I glanced at it casually.

  • Mr. CEO, Leave Me Breathless    Chapter 137

    Ethan let out a bitter, sarcastic laugh.“Fucking sorry?” he scoffed. “You hid my own son from me, and that’s all I get from you—?”“And what do you want from me, Ethan?” I snapped back. “Do you want me to beg you to forgive me for hiding your son? Do you think I wanted any of this to happen? Do you think I wanted my child to grow up without a father for almost six fucking years just because of that damned past? Do you think I want what’s happening to my family right now?!”I was gasping for air by the time I finished. I could taste blood on my lower lip from biting it too hard, m

    I wasn’t prepared for any of this. I hadn’t planned for it, and didn't want to control what was happening. I didn’t want my anxiety to wake and spiral into thoughts of what might’ve happened, what could go wrong. I didn’t even let myself think too far ahead, especially not about this scenario.I bit my lower lip, hesitating, frozen in the kitchen while they stayed in the living room. I wanted to call someone, anyone. Melody, maybe. Definitely Yuan, but I knew he wouldn’t pick up. I didn’t want to involve Lando or Mom either; even if they were neutral, this was mine to handle. I had no idea what to do.Then, a sound reached me. Slater’s giggle. Just that, so soft, so genuine. I hadn’t heard it in a long time. And with it came something strange, a joy I couldn’t name, wrapped tightly in a thread of fear.

    “Fuck off, Melody. Not today. Let’s just meet later at Horizon. Fuck you!” I snapped and ended the call.I almost threw my phone onto the table, then forced myself to finish the tasks I had to complete for the day.I decided to have lunch outside. Just as I finished eating, my phone rang, it was Rae. Apparently, she had been trying to reach me for a while, but my phone had been on silent.“Yes, Rae? Is there a problem with Slater?” I asked as soon as I picked up.“Selina, I’m sorry. There’s an emergency at the studio. I have to leave. What about Slater?” she said, clearly in a hurry. I could hear Slater’s commotion in the background.I froze mid-bite and quickly swal

    He placed some papers on the table and looked back at me.“Your grandfather once ordered an investigation into your father’s case, but not to help. It was to block it. As if he’s hiding something. Do you know anything about your grandfather’s history with Ethan’s dad?” Tim continued, making me even more confused.“Ethan’s dad?” I repeated, feeling stupid because I didn’t understand what he was talking about.“Timothy Blake. He’s the man behind all of this. He’s also the one who called you. He’s a retired army officer, and after he finished his service—”“Wait, Tim. Are you saying Ethan’s dad is still alive?” I cut him off.

    “What happened? How many days has it been? Why haven’t you two made up yet?” Melody asked as she sat down across from me.She set the cup of coffee I’d ordered in front of me. I kept my gaze fixed outside, where the city lights twinkled. It had been years since Melody and I last came here, yet nothing seemed to have changed.Everything was just the same. The scent of their coffee usually calmed me, helped me relax, but today, I wasn’t so sure. My heart still felt heavy, burdened by everything that had happened.“We haven’t seen each other since that night. He wasn’t replying to me. He hasn’t visited my house, or even the condo,” I said bitterly.I turned my attention to my coffee, staring at it, lost in thought.“Why don’t you just go to his office?” Melody asked, and I went silent.This woman had a way of shutting me up with just a few words, even when they seemed trivial, but their impact was always heavy.I thought about it, I could go to his law firm, or maybe even to his place, b
