The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge의 모든 챕터: 챕터 141 - 챕터 150

Derek was having a late lunch when his phone started to ring and when he picked it up, he saw that it was Ava who was calling. His heart skipped a beat because it had been ages since he saw her name displayed on his phone screen, but he immediately composed himself.She was someone else’s now, so there was no reason why he should feel giddy when she called him. By the time she picked up the call and spoke, his opinion was solidified.“Hello, Ava.” He said into the phone.“Uh, hi, Derek. I’m sorry to be calling out of the blues, but I figured that we could just talk over the phone,” she replied.“Oh, I hope nothing is the matter. You and Harper are fine, right?”“Yes, yes. It’s nothing like that. We’re both fine, but Steve isn't in support of you and me meeting to discuss.” Ava told him, sounding a little embarrassed.“Ah, I get it,” Derek said, although he didn’t get it at all. There was no way that they wouldn't have to meet in the end, no matter what Steve thought. They shared a chi

Denise had informed him that she was pregnant and was refusing to get rid of it, no matter how many times he begged her to. He had begged her, as well as threatened not to have anything to do with her and the child or contribute to its upkeep, but nothing swayed her.“Ava nearly died from a miscarriage when she got pregnant early on in our marriage. I promised myself not to get anyone pregnant and risk such a thing happening again until we were both tested to make sure that everything was fine.” He told Denise, grasping at straws, but she was unperturbed.“I’m not your wife, Derek, and I can assure you that I’m very healthy and will carry this pregnancy to term quite easily. I’ve always wanted a baby. And now that I’m on my way to having one, nothing is going to stop me. Your sperm isn't poisonous like you obviously think it is. What happened to your wife was unfortunate, but it’s not going to happen every single time. In summary, I'm keeping the baby, and nothing you do or say is goi

For the past several days, Amanda had been walking about with a spring in her step. She hadn't heard from the guy who had walked up to her in the restaurant that day, Logan, but she was confident that she would soon hear from him and that he would reach out to her when he was well and truly ready.She was no longer afraid of him because she knew now that they had the same goal, and that was to get rid of their common enemy. What Logan didn’t know yet was that he was going to help her get rid of other enemies aside from Derek.She did not mind emptying her account, or even spending all that her mother had left her just for that to happen. She would get all that belonged to Derek once her plan was accomplished, and would regain everything that she had lost a thousandfold, after all.She needed to make sure that her mother did not die in vain. She had died trying to make sure that Amanda got what she deserved, and by God, Amanda was going to make her wish come true. Besides, the earth nee

Ava got home to meet Steve waiting for her in her living room, a none-too-pleased expression on his face. She pretended not to notice his expression and greeted him normally, wondering what his problem was now. “Where are you coming from, Ava?” He asked her after responding to her greeting, his tone implying that he knew exactly where she was coming from. “I went to drop Harper off at Derek’s place. She’s having a sleepover there with him and his son.” She replied, determined not to get into a fight tonight because it seemed that that was all they ever did lately. Prior to dating him, she had had no idea that Steve could be so jealous. “I thought I made it clear that I don’t want you having any dealings with Derek.” “Excuse me?” “I’m a guy, Ava and I know how my fellow guys think and behave when they like someone. Derek likes you and you spending so much time with him is only going to make him think that you like him too.” Steve told her, softening his tone when he realized t

It had been ages since Derek visited the family of Tim, his late personal assistant who had died in the car accident that had almost claimed Derek’s life too. Spending time with Harper and Barry made him realize just how long it had been since he last saw Tim's children and the thought of this made him feel extremely guilty. He had been sending them their monthly allowance without fail, but then, money wasn't all that mattered. Showing up to show that he cared also mattered. Thus, he put a call through to Tim's widow and asked her if she would be at home with the children the following evening, which was a Sunday evening. She was delighted to hear from him, as were her children and she assured him that they would be home. So Derek spent Sunday afternoon doing a bunch of shopping with Harper for company, under the very watchful eyes of his new bodyguards. Barry didn't come along with them because he wasn't feeling too well and even if he was feeling well, the stress of shopp
