บททั้งหมดของ THE CEO PLUS-SIZE EX-WIFE: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Snapping out of her initial shock, Andrea fixed Valentine with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. She knew exactly what his up to; her ex-husband was trying to win her back by appealing to her through his culinary efforts."Valentine Anderson, is all this effort meant to make me forgive you and take you back?" Andrea asked pointedly.Valentine didn't shy away from the truth this time. He hung his head slightly and responded with a soft sincerity, "Andrea, when we were married, I didn't fully appreciate all that you did for me. It wasn't until you left that I realized how crucial you were to my life. This is my honest attempt to win you back, to show you I've changed."Andrea listened to Valentine and chuckled; his words weren't enough to sway her. She had been duped by his seemingly sincere words before and was determined not to fall for them so easily again.Before she could retort, Butler Tom approached the dining table. "Ma'am, the dress you wore has been laundered and press

Valentine Anderson hung his head in shame, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked up. Meanwhile, Andrea's annoyance was palpable as she let out a dissatisfied snort before making her way up the staircase. The sight of Valentine crying only added to her exasperation.After Andrea departed, Valentine retrieved his phone and headed to the balcony. For years, he had avoided facing the truth about his potential impotency. Now, he felt it was time to confront the issue head-on and finally confirm his condition.With a deep breath, he dialed a number. A voice promptly emanated from the phone's speaker, "President Valentine Anderson.""Mark, I need you to investigate the incident from five years ago and look into the hospital," Valentine instructed over the phone."Consider it done, President Valentine," came the swift agreement from the other end of the line.After receiving confirmation that the matter would be investigated, he ended the call and dialed another number. A cheerful voice g

Naturally, Valentine Anderson was incensed upon hearing Andrea Singers publicly declare that he was impotent. No man would take kindly to such an announcement, particularly in a public setting—it struck at a sensitive spot for all men.Glaring at Andrea, his expression darkened, yet when she turned towards him, he managed to force a strained smile.Meanwhile, Andrea's lips curved into a smile as she cast a quick glance at Rose Ferguson, who was visibly stunned by the revelation that Andrea Singers was actually Valentine's ex-wife—someone she had sought funding from and had criticized just days before, unknowingly.Without addressing any further questions from the group of eager journalists, Andrea smoothly made her way down the red carpet.Valentine Anderson felt a strong urge to follow her, but he found himself completely hemmed in by enthusiastic journalists who were keen to delve into the topic of his fertility.A journalist wasted no time in putting Valentine Anderson on the spot

Jack and Andrea strolled hand in hand towards the banquet hall exit, their laughter filling the air.Behind them, Rose Ferguson couldn't resist the urge to follow, with Valentine Anderson quickly trailing after her."President Valentine," a guest called out, recognizing him in the crowd.Valentine Anderson's expression turned dark as he snapped, "get lost!" His fierce demeanor sent the guests scurrying away in fear.Hurriedly, he made his way out of the banquet hall only to find Rose engaged in a heated discussion with Jack, who held onto Andrea's arm.In a fit of anger, Valentine Anderson wordlessly clenched his fist and struck Jack in the face, his voice filled with menace. "Keep your hands off her!"Jack staggered back, blood staining his lips, as Rose, now composed, sharply exclaimed, "Valentine Anderson, are you trying to make me a widow?"Ignoring her, Valentine Anderson seized Andrea's hand and led her towards the exit without uttering a single word.Andrea followed him calmly

Despite still harboring feelings of upset over how she was treated five years ago, Andrea knew that Mrs. Anderson was still Pete's grandmother. She couldn't bring herself to be selfish and deny her son the chance to have a relationship with his grandmother."Mrs. Anderson, I cannot refer to you as my mother since I am not married to your son. I hope you can understand this. I'm unsure if I will remarry your son in the future, so please excuse me," Andrea stated firmly, not sugarcoating her words. She had no desire to continue the conversation with her former mother-in-law, who was behaving shamelessly.Mrs. Anderson was taken aback. She never expected Andrea, who had always seemed meek and complimentary towards her, to speak to her in such a direct manner. She was left speechless until Andrea walked away."Mom, let's go," Benita finally spoke up, tugging at her mother's arm.Mrs. Anderson blinked in confusion. She had assumed that Andrea would immediately show deference to her when sh
