Chanda’s POV

“Ma’am Chanda!”

I stopped running when I heard Vin calling from behind me. When I turned around, I saw him supporting Gustav, who looked completely out of it.

“Clifford! Go ahead—get to the rooftop!” I shouted. He froze and looked back at us, hesitation written all over his face as his eyes landed on Gustav. He was about to return when I raised my hand, signaling him to stop.

“I’ll take care of him. Go find Miley!”

When he still didn’t move, I yelled again, “Go, Clifford!”

Left with no choice, he took off running upstairs, while I went back to Vin and Gustav, who had already stopped walking.

“What happened?” I asked Vin, keeping my eyes on Gustav, whose eyelids were barely open.

“I don’t know. He just slowed down all of a sudden, and when I looked, he was already like this,” Vin explained, worry in his tone.

“I’ll handle this. Follow Clifford to the rooftop,” I ordered.

“A-Are you sure, Ma’am Chanda?” he asked uncertainly.

“I said go,” I snapped.

He obeyed, though he kept

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 141. Hurtful Words

    Clifford’s POV It was already late when I got back to the mansion, and I staggered as I walked inside. I was surprised to see how brightly lit the place was and to hear voices echoing within. From what I could tell, the noise was coming from the dining hall. I hadn’t wanted to come home yet, but Gustav insisted, saying there were guests waiting. We had come from a bar—I had just been drinking to drown out my frustrations. I lost track of time, which was why we ended up getting home so late. I was about to head straight for the stairs when Chanda suddenly appeared out of nowhere. “Clifford, thank God you’re here! Don’t you know your wife and your guests have been waiting for you for a long time? Come on, they’re in the dining room,” he urged, even grabbing my arm. I followed him unsteadily, which made him stop short. “Why did you drink? What’s going on with you?” he demanded. “Don’t worry about me. Wait—who are the guests again?” I asked. “It’s Mr. Geron and his wife. Can you at

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 140. Avoiding Each Other

    Miley’s POV I was forced to pull myself together, and now I was cooking in the kitchen, my eyes swollen from crying. I received a call from Ofelia saying they wanted to have dinner with us. I couldn’t bring myself to refuse, so I agreed even though I clearly wasn’t okay. From her, I learned that Jeffrey had been appointed as the company’s new CEO—and that it was Clifford himself who made the decision. I figured they wanted us to celebrate. I was chopping vegetables when I noticed my mother’s presence. She was standing at the kitchen entrance, as if unsure whether she should approach me. “Nay, what are you doing there? Do you need something?” I asked, forcing a smile. She walked closer, her face serious. Her lips parted, but no words came out. “Is there something you want to say to me?” I asked, mustering my courage. I knew she had heard what happened earlier at the pool area. “A-Are you okay, my child?” she asked. She picked up a carrot and began peeling it. I stopped chopping

    Clifford’s POV “Are you sure you want to do this now? You know you can postpone the meeting,” Gustav asked, seeking reassurance as we sat in the car. He had offered to drive me to the company, and we were already in the basement parking lot. I sniffed and wiped the corner of my eye, where traces of dried tears still lingered. My eyes were swollen from crying after my argument with Millicent. Even now, I still couldn’t fully understand what could have driven her to want to abort our child. But I planned to talk to her later, once I got home. “They’re waiting,” I replied shortly as I stepped out of the car. Gustav hadn’t seen me cry, but my appearance alone was enough to tell him that I wasn’t okay. Still, I had things I needed to do—things I had already decided on. I headed straight for the elevator and pressed the button for the twenty-fifth floor, where the conference room was located. I needed to do this now, to lessen the problems piling up on my plate. I adjusted my tie and s

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 138. Drastic Decision

    Clifford’s POVI felt lighter after the conversation I had with Nanay Mila. It felt as if the gap between us had finally disappeared, and in a way, she already felt like my own mother. After we talked, I went down to the first floor to look for Miley, who was at the poolside.Even from a distance, I could already see her from behind. She was alone. It seemed like she was enjoying the silence, simply being by herself. I approached slowly so I wouldn’t disturb her. I decided to just watch her, but she suddenly turned around when I got close.She smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes. I felt like I had interrupted her thoughts.“Do you want to be alone?” I asked, giving her a gentle smile. I sat beside her on one of the lounge chairs and softly brushed my fingers through her hair.“Nah, I’m just reading. Are you done with your meetings?” she asked, turning her attention to me. That was when I noticed the tablet on the table.“Yup. But I’m afraid I need to leave later. I have to go to the

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 137. Heart-to-Heart Talk

    Clifford’s POVAfter breakfast, I went to the study room with Gustav and Chanda.“I’m giving up my position as the CEO of the company,” I said seriously.“W–What? Why?” Chanda asked, his brow furrowing.I took a deep breath and leaned back against the recliner chair. “I won’t wait for the board members and shareholders to file a petition forcing me to step down. I will resign of my own free will.”Gustav cleared his throat as he leaned against the minibar, slowly sipping from the glass in his hand. I knew that look—he could hardly wait to hear my decision regarding the position of mafia boss.“I’m still thinking about it. Besides, we still don’t know what really happened to Aurelius. We don’t know if he’s dead or just in hiding. Also, we don’t know who actually killed Horacio. We’re doomed if he suddenly shows up and claims that he was the one who killed him,” I explained.Chanda let out a sharp sigh, stood up, walked over to the minibar, and poured himself a drink.He downed the liqu

    Chanda’s POVIt has been a week since the war broke out. Yet the news is still filled with what they call the biggest gang war ever to happen in the Philippines. It’s almost laughable that they believe it was a gang war—when it wasn’t. Or perhaps someone paid the media to keep it that way.“Why do you keep watching the news? They’re just repeating the same reports over and over,” Gustav remarked as he approached me in the living room.I noticed Clifford coming downstairs with Miley, so I quickly turned off the TV. I stood up, coffee cup in hand.“Don’t you find it strange who paid the media to keep quiet?” I asked.We were staying at Clifford’s mansion, where he was currently resting. He had recovered quickly. And Miley? She was fine now—her belly growing bigger by the day. They came down the stairs arm in arm.“I’m sure it was one of the White Snake members,” Clifford said. I saw Miley whisper something to him, and soon after, she left us and headed to the kitchen.I didn’t say anyth
