บททั้งหมดของ Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride]: บทที่ 211 - บทที่ 220

ChristianI manage to wrap up my work anyhow before the evening. Eventually, a plan of two days won't harm. We'll be away from all the stress even though there's a lot to stress about. I'll keep looking for those people outside the state. Kane has already informed the team to stick to it. The doctors are continuously monitoring the procedures for getting a donor. Among all this, I don't want better things to fade away. "Christian", Kane's voice comes from behind as I lock the shelves, turning back to him. "I was about to call you. For now, there are no urgent tasks left to be done. I completed them all. Just take care of the rest"I tell him with a smile but he seems to be tense as he scratches his forehead. "Anything wrong?" I frown. "Well, there's a blunder, Christian", he says. Now what?"What happened?" I lean over the desk, grab the edges and look at the clock. "Whatever it is, say it asap. I'm getting late"He lets out a deep sigh. "Christian, I'm not sure if you'll be able

ChristianI panic right after I find my phone switched off and turn it on. I never switch my phone off when I'm outside. Especially for a whole year, I don't remember I ever switched it off because of emergencies regarding Chrissie."I don't know, Sir", Nicole stutters. "I didn't even know it was switched off""I clearly remember it was switched on when I gave it to you", I sneer, shooting her a strong glare."Sir, I'm sorry. I don't know how it happened", she stammers. I don't reply to her anymore and open the call list. There were a lot of missed calls from Ivanna a few hours ago. It was when I was in the studio. The network is too poor over there. But there's a recent call from her just an hour ago. And it was declined.What the fuck?"Nicole, do you want me to teach you your job now? Even after a whole decade", I lash out at her. She literally cut Ivanna's phone."Sir— what— what did I do?" She says on the verge of crying. "What's wrong here?" Kane arrives behind, gawking at us

ChristianMy brain refuses to work as I wonder why the hell Thea would send me her pictures? It takes me a while to react and shut the application off and I make sure I delete the message. There's no way I'm keeping them on my cell phone. This woman is out of my understanding. I don't understand what the hell she's trying to do. Is she the same with everyone or only with me? "Christian, will you please turn the lights off?" Ivanna's pressed voice comes as I look behind. She has covered herself with the sheets completely. Wait!Did she just call me 'Christian'? That's definitely not a fucking good sign. I toss the phone aside and turn the lights off. Then I put the small lamp beside Chrisanna. The portion that occupies our bed is pitch dark right now. Ivanna is lying at the edge of the bed. Usually she lies in the middle, too close to me. Only if she had told me what's bothering her. I'm scared to ask her anything. But the fact that I know she must be battling with a lot more than

EmilyWe leave the mall after the shopping is done. I toss all the bags into the car and we walk to the coffee shop to grab a cold coffee with boba. We walk back to the car, strolling near the streets, but my brain is stuck in the same place. Why did she bring Thea into the conversation? She once told me that she didn't like the way Thea approached Christian but I thought it was a random wifely jealousy. I didn't expect her to compare herself with that woman."Well, Ivanna. I'm confused", I say."About what?""You suddenly asked about Thea. Why?" I ask her. "I mean what made you compare yourself with her"Her reaction hardens as she stutters, "nothing. I was just amazed to see her. That's it""You usually see a lot of equally attractive women. You never ask about them, you never compare yourself with them. Why with Thea?"She gulps down, not answering and it makes me more curious and worried at the same time. I have noticed Thea's unusual actions too. Especially when I saw her peeki

ChristianIt's been a while since I'm back to the villa and I haven't gathered the courage to speak to Ivanna yet. I know whatever I'm going to do isn't wrong but the fact that she may take things the wrong way scares the hell out of me. I often miss Ivanna who used to understand me despite anything, who used to believe in my words, my decisions, and my suggestions. Even if we shared different points of view, she had always been understanding."I just wanted to remind you that Andrea will be unavailable for the next two days. It'll be better if you take Ivanna to her tomorrow itself", Emily says on the call.I remain silent. Even though I can hear her, I might have forgotten that I had to speak. I had to reply."Can you hear me?" She asks a bit louder."Yes!" I mumble. "Are you still not sure about it?""I don't know""That's not a convincing answer", she groans. "It's been like weeks since I suggested this to you. It was enough time to think and take a decision"I part my lips and
