When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 228. Tonight, I Choose Us
Serena’s Point of View12:30 a.m.I looked at the clock on the wall for probably the hundredth time.Around eleven, Adrian had sent me a message saying he would be late and asking me to go to sleep.But I'd told him I'd wait.There was no way I could fall asleep before he came home, especially after an unbearable day like today.Then, around 12:20, another message arrived.Adrian: I'm leaving the restaurant now, angel. I'll be home soon.I knew it would take him at least thirty minutes to get here.Yet I'd been watching the clock ever since receiving that message.When I finally heard the sound of the front door opening, I jumped to my feet and almost ran toward it.Adrian closed the door behind him and turned to me.He was still wearing the dark suit he'd worn that morning.His tie was loosened, and the first few buttons of his shirt were undone.He looked exhausted.“Adrian…”He smiled faintly.“Angel.”He walked straight toward me and pulled me into his arms.Tightly.As if he'd us
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 227. The Limits of Pretending
Adrian’s Point of View“You have no idea how hard it is for me to cover for you, Adrian.”Her words left me speechless for a moment.Thinking about it carefully, what she said wasn't entirely wrong.We had an agreement. She didn't like this engagement either, but she was playing along according to our plan. She was doing her best.Though she didn't have to go that far, I could understand that she'd had to do something to cover for me.I could understand the pressure she was under, especially considering how her mother kept pestering her with questions all the time.I took a deep breath.“I'm sorry.”“I wasn't trying to take my frustration out on you. It's just that this whole thing is driving me crazy. And when the only person I believed was on my side didn't support me either, it made me even more frustrated.”Sofia stepped a little closer.“Adrian… I was supporting you. In the most effective way.”“I appreciate what you're doing. But Sofia, I've told you there are limits you can't c
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 226. You Have No Idea
Adrian’s Point of View“I used to think you got angry at everything.”I looked at Noah.He was leaning against the wall, holding a glass of wine, his eyes lazily fixed on the people celebrating across the room.“I thought you had no patience at all,” he continued. “But only now do I understand how much patience you actually have.”I let out a humorless chuckle.“There's so much more you don't know about me, Noah.”“I know.”He straightened up and looked at me.The expression in his eyes changed to something serious.“And I wish you'd tell me those things too. Maybe then I could understand you better.”I studied his face for a moment.“When the time is right.”Noah sighed in frustration.“That's the answer you always give me.”“Because it's the only answer I can give you right now.”He emptied his wine in one go, as though he couldn't bear the frustration anymore. Then, lowering his glass, he looked at me.“Adrian, I seriously don't understand why you're putting up with all this bullsh
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 225. A Toast to a Lie
Adrian’s Point of ViewApplause erupted around us.I leaned toward Sofia, who was standing beside me.“They never asked me about the date.”She looked at me.“They didn't ask me either,” she whispered back.I stared at her face for a fraction of a second.I couldn't understand. If she hadn't known about the date either, how could she remain so calm and look so happy while I was almost losing my mind?Sofia looked away from me as someone beside her congratulated her.She smiled and thanked them.Someone else reached out and shook my hand.I couldn't even force a smile anymore.They should have asked me first.That was all I could think about.“And of course,” Michael added cheerfully, “we intend to make it a grand celebration. We'll invite our closest business associates, friends, and several important guests. As our closest family members, you're all invited, of course.”People cheered. Richard nodded at Michael.“We'll have full media coverage. This is such a special occasion for bo
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 224. Fourteen Days Until Heartbreak
Serena’s Point of View9:15 p.m.It had been almost three hours since Adrian told me he'd arrived at the restaurant for the family dinner.I was sitting at the dining table, staring at the containers of food in front of me.Still completely untouched.Adrian had ordered dinner for me from Uncle Wang's restaurant. The food had arrived about an hour and a half ago. It smelled wonderful, and from experience, I knew it would be delicious.But I had no appetite at all.I let out a sigh and leaned back in my chair.The bodyguards were stationed outside, and Garry was waiting nearby, ready to help me whenever I needed.But inside this place we called home, I was alone.I reached out and touched the empty chair beside me.The chair Adrian would usually sit in.Since he'd been discharged from the hospital, tonight was the first time I'd had to sit at this table without him.And no words could possibly describe how lonely it felt.Maybe I should've agreed when Becky offered to come over. But kn
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 223. The Perfect Couple
Serena’s Point of ViewI was sitting with my team in the second row of the large conference room at Henrix Properties.Today marked the official beginning of the collaboration between Henrix Group and Hudson Group.Employees from Henrix Group and Hudson Group who would be involved in the project filled the rows of seats.And the stars of the show, Adrian and Sofia, sat at the front behind a large table, with their fathers on either side of them.It had already been two weeks since Adrian told Watson and me about his father's proposal.After we decided to go forward with the proposal that day, everything moved so quickly.Following several intense discussions with Sofia and her team, Adrian had finally agreed to the collaboration.But only under the conditions he had carefully prepared with Watson and his team.Henrix Properties would retain responsibility for the technical development of our project, while Hudson Group would manage the commercial strategy and market expansion. Our exi
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 4. You Lost Me Today
Serena’s Point of ViewI shouldn’t have agreed.That was the first thought that came to my mind as I walked to the café where I was supposed to meet Rowen.Last night, I went back to that place I once called home, only to grab some of my clothes and belongings. I didn’t stay there, even when Rowen
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 3. One Chance. That’s All You Get.
Serena’s Point of View“Serena… can you hear me?”Rowen’s voice was the first thing I heard as the darkness slowly faded and I tried to open my eyes.I shut my eyes again as tightly as possible.I wished I could shut my ears too, so I wouldn’t have to listen to his voice. But I couldn’t move my ha
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 2. You can keep him.
Serena’s Point of ViewAll the lies I had believed so far… all the false hopes I had clung to as if my life depended on them…How had I let myself believe this for so long?It was indeed my husband inside Room 1243, naked, without even a thread of fabric covering him.“Who the hell?!” Rowen’s voice
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 1. Room 1243
Serena’s Point of ViewI sat outside the gynecologist’s office, staring at the clock nervously. It was almost 11:30, but Rowen was still not here.I checked our chat again, but there was no reply; he hadn’t even seen my messages.I called him. It took so long before he finally answered. “Serena?” H
