Adrian’s Point of View

I made a mistake.

I realized that the moment she went still in front of the orphanage.

Ms. Maria’s question had already confirmed the suspicion in my mind. But I had no idea what I should do next.

When we were selecting books together, I had no intention of bringing Serena here. But when I saw how she had completely lost herself in that storybook about a little bear, whispering softly to her baby, that was when I decided I should bring her here.

To a place where many chi

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   57. About Miss Serena.

    Adrian's Point of View"Where is Serena?"The question was already out before I could stop it.The morning update meeting with the special project team had just started.Jack and Ben were already seated in the meeting room.But Serena...Her seat was empty.Jack and Ben exchanged a glance.Then Jack spoke."She's on leave today, sir."My fingers paused on the laptop I was opening."Leave?""She has a fever."For a moment, everything became still.A fever.All I could think about was a woman walking through a storm last evening.Rain poured mercilessly over her.Wind strong enough to make her lose her balance.A pregnant woman.Walking away from my help for reasons I still couldn't understand.Wasn't this the most likely outcome?What was I even thinking back then, letting her do whatever she wanted?"Sir?"Jack's voice pulled me back.I realized both of them were staring at me in confusion.Waiting.Waiting for me to start the meeting as I always did."Let's begin."I forced myself to

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   56. Without Wasting Your Time on Me

    Serena's Point of ViewLife was truly ironic.When I was younger, I never stood up for myself.I always put others before me.I endured more than I should have.I forgave people who didn't even deserve forgiveness.Yet in the end, I lost everything.My home.My marriage.The future I had dreamed of.Then I rebuilt my life from nothing.And I promised myself that I would never allow anyone to bully me again.Yet here I was.Doing exactly that.Letting others hurt me however they wanted.Not because I couldn't fight back.But because I valued someone else's reputation more than my own pain.It had been a few days since I told Becky everything.Since then, she had practically become my personal bodyguard.Even though she didn't agree with the way I was handling the situation, she did everything she could to support me.She ate lunch with me.Walked with me whenever she could.Checked on me constantly.And unfortunately, she had gotten into more than one argument because of me.The rumors

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   55. I'll Endure It

    Serena's Point of ViewIt was Becky standing in the doorway.Her eyes were blazing as she stared into the room.Her gaze moved from Karen to Lacy, then to Mira, before finally landing on me.And the moment our eyes met, her expression changed.The fury on her face seemed to calm slightly...But only for a moment.When she looked back at the three women beside me again, her eyes burned with even greater intensity.She looked completely different from the soft, funny Becky I knew."What exactly is going on here?" she asked again.For a moment, nobody answered.I think all four of us were shocked by this new version of Becky standing before us.Karen spoke first."Oh, nothing."She smiled casually."We were just talking to Serena.""Really?"Becky took a few steps forward."Because from what I heard outside the door, it sounded like the three of you were harassing Serena."Karen chuckled."Harassing? Really, Becky? You're exaggerating.""Am I?"Becky looked directly at Karen.Then she po

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   54. Do Whatever You Want

    Serena's Point of View"I'm fine, sir."I forced a smile as my gaze shifted toward Jack and Ben, who were staring at me with a mixture of concern and confusion."You look tired," Adrian said again.My heart ached.But somehow, I still managed to smile."No, sir... I'm okay.""There are things called sick leave."Jack immediately looked down, trying to hide his smile.Ben covered his mouth with his hand.I couldn't help but laugh softly."No, sir... I don't feel that bad."Honestly, no amount of sick leave would be able to cure the exhaustion I was feeling right now.Adrian's gaze remained on me for a brief moment before he looked away and continued the meeting.As if nothing had happened.After the meeting ended, I returned to my workstation and took my seat.A moment later, my phone vibrated.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   53. You Should Know That By Now, Serena.

    Serena's Point of View"Serena."I truly didn't want to turn around.Talking to him in the lobby where everyone could see us wouldn't do either of us any good.But when the CEO called your name, how could you pretend you hadn't heard?Slowly, I turned around.Adrian was looking directly at me.Mr. Watson stood beside him, holding a tablet and smiling politely."Sir."I forced a smile.Adrian's brows narrowed for a split second before he spoke."How did the discussion with Marketing go?"As always, he was professional.Asking about work.But the people who saw us?They could create baseless gossip from even the most innocent conversation.I glanced around nervously.There were no employees nearby except for the two receptionists sitting some distance away."It went well," I finally s

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   52.The Man I Must Avoid

    Serena's Point of View"The CEO personally defended her.""Not in the same way other analysts are smart.""Maybe he really has a thing for pregnant women."Those words had stolen my sleep last night.And now, for the first time ever during a meeting with the CEO, they were stealing my focus too.I hated those words.Every time they replayed in my mind, it felt like someone was twisting a knife in my chest.And after thinking about it all night, I finally understood how those rumors had started.Karen wasn't there when Adrian came into that break room and defended me.Not just Karen.Besides me, Rowen, and Michela, nobody else had been there.No matter what Rowen had done, he wasn't the kind of man who would spread something that would make him look bad as well.So...It was obvious where the story had come from.I forced myself to focus on the meeting again.Jack was presenting an update.Adrian was listening carefully, asking questions whenever necessary.Ben was busy answering them.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   26. Stop The Car

    Adrian’s Point of ViewI thought she was already home resting.But…Here she was, walking alone on a dark road this late at night.The streetlights cast long shadows across the pavement as she walked, her coat wrapped tightly around herself against the cold wind.Strangely…Quite strangely…The fir

    Serena’s Point of View“The CEO has decided to launch a short-term internal project.”Peter announced it calmly, but the moment the word CEO left his mouth, everyone in the team area looked up.“It’s a technically challenging project, and the timeline is limited,” he continued once he knew everyone

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   23.Our Little Sanctuary

    Serena’s Point of ViewI stood in front of the small apartment I had rented.The key was in my right hand, and my left hand rested carefully on my growing belly.“This place is ours… This is where you will be born and grow up...at least until we move to a bigger house, one with a garden where you c

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   21. The Same Place, Different Us

    Serena’s Point of ViewThose green eyes…The way they had looked a little different…I was still thinking about them as I sat in the metro, going home.Earlier, I had been chatting with Becky in the lobby. She was telling me funny things that had happened in the team before I joined, and we were bo
