Semua Bab My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back: Bab 981 - Bab 990

The cold wind brushed against her cheeks as she ran all the way to the castle's main gate, where Griffith was waiting for her.Arriving at the entrance, she was panting heavily.The gate opened slowly. Charlotte found it too slow and manually turned the dial, controlling the gate switch.Clunk.The gate opened.Four or five cars were parked at the entrance, and everyone was standing outside the cars.Charlotte immediately spotted Griffith in front of the car, wearing only a black coat.She ran up to him and pushed him hard."Why aren't you wearing a jacket on such a cold day?!"The bodyguards hoped she would scold him more and quickly get Griffith into the car.With Griffith's physique, Charlotte normally struggled to push him even with all her strength. Still, surprisingly, he gave way easily today. Charlotte immediately sensed something was wrong. She rushed forward and touched his face."Are you running a fever—"He embraced her. She could hear him breathing rather heavi

The driver asked where they were going, and Charlotte told him Griffith's mansion instead of their new residence. Griffith's mansion wasn't large, but it was filled with memories of the years she had spent with Griffith, which made her feel at ease.As the car pulled into the garage, Griffith was still asleep.Charlotte didn't wake him up. She asked the bodyguards and driver to leave and stayed with him in the car. She didn't know what he had been up to lately, but seeing the dark circles under his eyes, she knew he was exhausted. Her shoulders were sore, but she didn't move.After a long while, Griffith felt uncomfortable sleeping and woke up alone. She touched his forehead."Finally, the fever has subsided," she said.Griffith took her hand down and leaned into her neck.He didn't say anything, just clinging to her, absorbing her scent."Are we home?" he asked."Yeah, we just arrived."It had been almost an hour.Griffith didn't want to move; he didn't want to do anything r

Charlotte answered the phone. "Hello?""Charlotte, it's me, Emily."Charlotte forced a smile. "Is something wrong?""Is Griffith holding up okay?" Emily asked.Charlotte didn't know how to respond as she dared not speak recklessly. After all, Emily was Mariah's biological daughter. However, before weighing the pros and cons, Emily had already spilled the beans. "My dad is back and staying at Lawanda Bay. This morning, I said I missed him and went to see him! Let me tell you, I stayed there for half an hour, and within that time, three shareholders came by! There were also two executives I didn't recognize!"So, Emily had called to inform them?She scraped her face with her fingers, ashamed of her petty thoughts."Is Griffith not holding up well?" Emily continued, seemingly still eating. She spoke while munching, "My dad is determined this time. Tell Griffith to be careful.""Ah... okay.""Oh, and I've discussed it with James. We'll distract my mom and try to steal some of he

The young couple mentally prepared themselves before Griffith left the house. Charlotte waited for him at home, hardly paying attention to what's on the internet anymore. The shooting resumed, and she took Louisa with her. She made sure not to wander around when they were out. Even when Ava and Lucy invited her, she refused them to avoid danger.There might be desperate people who would resort to drastic measures during this critical period. If anything happened to her, it would only drag Griffith down. She returned home early in the evening and started preparing dinner.The first few days were fine, but as time went on, Griffith returned later. It made Charlotte feel that things were getting more serious. The stock price of the Wilson Corp. remained stable, but personal issues related to Griffith kept arising.The Sanchez family had joined forces with Stephen. Their intention was obviously to make Griffith lose his support from Wilson Corp. and finish him off when he was helpless.

The room fell silent for a moment.Madeline didn't say anything.The smile on Isabella's face gradually faded. She straightened up and said, "Are you trying to advise me to stop?"Madeline shrugged.She leaned back, closed her eyes, and said, "If I want someone to obey my will, I won't use persuasion. I'll do whatever it takes to make them do as I say. It's more efficient that way."Isabella fell silent. After a moment, she sneered and said, "Then I'm curious, what are you going to use to coerce me?"Madeline opened her eyes and smirked, "Did I say I wanted you to obey me?""You just...""I was just giving an analogy."Madeline stretched and headed inside. She was wearing simple long-sleeved pajamas and laid down on the bed, ready to sleep.Isabella stood at her door and said, "If I were you, after saying something like that, I wouldn't sleep here tonight. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you in the middle of the night to prevent you from obstructing my plans?"Madeline put on an
