The Surrogate CEO's Child Part 16
"I beg you, please don't do this, Ma.""Don't? It's easy for you to say that. You're still young, with a long future ahead of you. But Mama? Mama is old, ailing, and has been waiting for six years without any answers. You always keep delaying things just for the sake of a name and fame. What's wrong with Mama wanting that?" Meri looked at Alexander.She was truly heartbroken for being played for these past six years, especially when Alexander and Cesilia had already promised and kept dragging it out. If only Alexander had a sibling, then Meri wouldn't have made an issue out of all this.And those promises, one after another, had all disappeared, vanished into thin air."Okay, tell me what I should do so that Mama won't be angry. So that Mama won't be like this."Meri shook her head. "There's nothing you should do because Mama realizes that Cesilia means more to you than Mama does.""Don't say that, Ma. Mama and Cesilia both mean a lot to me," Alexander argued."But that's the reality,

During their time in Bali, they would stay in a spacious room with a dividing door between the living area and the bed. This meant that Alexander could sleep separately. And that meant there was still some leniency for both of them before they decided to fulfill Meri's dream of having a grandchild."I'll stay here. Sir, please sleep in that room," Cassandra arranged, motioning for Alexander to sleep in the living room.Alexander didn't respond, but he quickly dragged his suitcase into the bedroom, leaving Cassandra alone in the living room.The girl shrugged her shoulders, already convinced that this was the response she would receive from Alexander. Whether she liked it or not, she would accept all of Alexander's flaws as his lawful wife.Once Alexander entered his room, Cassandra hurriedly checked her suitcase, searching for a change of clothes before Alexander came out. Her plan was to ask for permission to use the bathroom.She wanted to change her clothes, but when Cassandra open

Cesilia's fingers trembled as she squeezed them together. She was afraid and nervous to talk to Alexander, to tell him that she couldn't join him for dinner. Although deep down, Cesilia desperately wanted to have that dinner with her husband. Which wife wouldn't want to dine with her own husband?"I'm sorry, my love...""No time, right? Still busy with the photoshoot. It's okay," Alexander stroked Cesilia's hair. "The important thing is that I've seen you're doing well and actually working here. So, let me take you back to the hotel. How about that?" Alexander offered, hoping that this time Cesilia wouldn't refuse his invitation.No matter how busy she was, being escorted back to the hotel wouldn't disrupt her schedule or work for Cesilia.Cesilia wanted to nod, to agree to Alexander's request. Just being escorted back to the hotel wouldn't take much time, right?But in reality, Maxime had sent his assistant to fetch Cesilia, ensuring there was no chance for her to be close to Alexand

Not wanting to bother thinking about Alexander and Cesilia's marriage, Cassandra chose to wander around and find a good place to eat by the beach. After struggling to leave the hotel, she felt it was a good idea to reward herself for her hard work.Moreover, since she was in Bali, it was time to enjoy the fruits of her agreement with Cesilia. After all, it was Cesilia who asked her to become Alexander's second wife, not her own desire. So there was no harm in starting to enjoy the new life that had changed so much.Yesterday, Cassandra had initially refused because she felt degraded being a paid wife. But seeing Cesilia's behavior behind Alexander's back made her think that perhaps being a second wife could be a way to heal Alexander's heart.However, that thought wasn't finalized yet. Cassandra still pondered whether she should follow the traditional path of marriage or continue on the path she had chosen. Considering that Alexander wasn't her ideal type of man.More precisely, he wa

Now, with great enthusiasm, Cassandra sang along to the music, oblivious to the fact that the crowd was paying attention to her. One of the spectators even asked Cassandra to come up on stage and share her golden voice to entertain them that night.Initially, Cassandra refused, but the insistence and encouragement from the other spectators eventually persuaded her. Half-conscious, Cassandra began to choose a song to sing that night.After finding the right pitch, Cassandra sang a song by a famous Indonesian band. As she started singing, the entire audience followed Cassandra, enjoying the beauty of her voice.Including Alexander, who was mesmerized and captivated by Cassandra's talent. Shortly after Cassandra finished singing, the band manager approached her, offering a collaboration to entertain the guests on the beach.The payment offered was quite high for an impromptu singer like her. "So, what do you think, Miss? We'll pay you two million for one night to entertain the guests her

Cesilia accidentally overheard Maxime talking to someone on the phone. She was relieved to hear that Maxime would have to return to Jakarta tomorrow morning, which meant she could go through the photoshoot without being directly monitored by him.As a result, Cesilia was entrusted to Maxime's assistant while he continued his tasks in Bali. Maxime explained that leaving Cesilia behind was difficult, but work demanded him to return to Jakarta earlier than scheduled due to an internal issue in the company. As the acting director, he needed to resolve the problem immediately.Maxime was visibly unhappy because the problem at his office arose at an inconvenient time, right when he was enjoying a vacation with Cesilia. Thus, Cesilia's photoshoot was set for 9:00 AM, allowing her to meet with Alexander before work started. On the other hand, Maxime had to leave before sunrise, and he had already booked a flight back to Jakarta.Before leaving, Maxime warned Cesilia not to get too close to Al

Casandra, still behind the bedroom door, shook her head in disbelief at Cesilia's behavior. Cesilia acted as if Alexander didn't understand her position, while she was the one playing with fire by being involved with another man and readily disregarding Alexander, who truly loved her.Alexander had been patient and tried everything to wait for her for four years, just to accommodate Cesilia's desire to pursue her career. But when the time came, Cesilia betrayed her promise and asked for another two years. Of course, Alexander was disappointed. Anyone would have felt the same and done the same in expressing their disappointment."I wonder what makes Sir love Madam Cesilia so much? Even though she's already cheating on him like that. I wonder what would happen if Sir found out that Madam has another boyfriend?" Casandra scratched her head, even though it wasn't itchy.Upon reflection, she was tempted to tell Alexander that she saw Cesilia kissing another man last night. But Casandra did

Inviting Casandra for a stroll turned out to be like taking a kindergarten child on a tour of the beach. She couldn't stay still and kept running here and there. Chasing the waves, Alexander watched from a distance. This time, he didn't object to anything Casandra did. He understood that she was used to a simple life in the village and couldn't have had a vacation like this before.So, he sat at a small restaurant by the beach after having breakfast. Alexander let Casandra play there before they returned to the hotel, and she was thrilled to be released without supervision. She enjoyed the white sandy expanse, the vast sea, and frolicking with the waves. Casandra collected seashells washed ashore, shamelessly picking up some corals and placing them on the table before Alexander.She said innocently, "Sir, please take care of these. Someone will collect them later. I'm tired of picking them up." Alexander just nodded, folding his hands in front of his chest, leaning back in a wooden ch
