THE CEO PLUS-SIZE EX-WIFE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Benita's malicious and slanderous comments at the church entrance have placed Andrea in a precarious position, and if not addressed properly, they could tarnish her reputation irreparably.The commotion stirred up by Benita has drawn the attention of numerous passersby, along with the eager media team she brought along, who were busy snapping photos, taking notes, and filming the scene.The media thrives on sensationalizing bad news, providing a platform for people to criticize and express their self-righteous outrage.Hidden behind a veil, Andrea's thoughts remain a mystery, her facial expressions concealed from view.As Benita basked in the attention and perceived public support, she grew more brazen, challenging Andrea, "Why the silence, Andrea? If I am spreading falsehoods, bring forth my brother, the groom, and I will offer you my apology."Agatha stepped out of the car, her expression turning cold as she caught sight of Benita causing a scene."You're a bad woman! My mother is n

Tony exchanged a quick "excuse me" with Agatha before swiftly answering the call."Hello, Mr. Tony, we've discovered something unusual at the river bank. You should come and see for yourself," a voice crackled through the phone's speaker.Tony's brow creased as he pondered what could have caught their attention. "I'll be there shortly. Just give me a few minutes," he replied.Ending the call, Tony turned to Agatha and informed her, "The search team has found something that needs my immediate attention. I must leave."Although Agatha wished for a moment to discuss personal matters with Tony, she realized the timing was not right. She managed a smile and said, "Alright, don't forget to give me a call."Tony nodded and made his way to his car. He stepped in, started the engine, and drove off from the church.The drive home was exceptionally quiet for Andrea, but Pete and Lucas were engaged in hushed whispers and chuckles, their hands locked in the playful competition of a fist game.As A

Andrea believed he was upset because she hadn't sought his input before making the decision. Unbeknownst to her, Lucas responded with a look of extreme disinterest, saying, "You're the boss, you make the decisions. I don't really care about that stuff."Andrea's eyes widened in shock at his response. The Valentine Anderson she knew would have been concerned and eager to address any issues promptly to prevent any negative impact on the company or the staff.The person standing before her, however, appeared indifferent and uninterested. If she had known this was Lucas Anderson, she would have understood."I'm going to go take a shower and change so we can leave together," Lucas Anderson said as he walked towards Andrea. He kissed her cheek before disappearing into the bathroom.Despite her reservations, Andrea didn't linger in suspicion. She promptly exited the room, and shortly thereafter, Valentine Anderson joined her in the living room. Together, they set off for the Singers Headquar

Andrea's brow creased in deep thought, a nagging suspicion that the man she married had become a stranger to her growing stronger by the day. She walked determinedly to her phone and punched in a number.The phone emitted two short rings before being answered by a deep, resonant voice, "Good morning, Ma'am Andrea.""Morning, Runnel," Andrea replied crisply. "I need you to investigate when and from whom my husband learned to draw," she commanded, issuing a clear directive to the person on the other end of the line.A brief exchange followed before Andrea ended the call, sinking into her bed, lost in contemplation of the many ways Valentine Anderson had changed over the years.Shaking off her reverie, Andrea briskly readied herself for work. Over breakfast, she casually asked her housekeeper, "Win, where are Pete and my husband?"The housekeeper's face lit up with a broad smile as she recalled the morning's events. Pete had been on the verge of a tantrum, but Lucas Anderson had deftly i

Lucas Anderson returned Andrea's phone to its original place before proceeding to his wardrobe to select his outfits for the next day. After taking a bath, he climbed into bed and fell asleep. Meanwhile, Andrea finished her work in the study room and returned to the bedroom to find Lucas already asleep.Upon seeing that he wasn't waiting for her, Andrea felt a pang of sadness. She quietly slipped under the duvet and lay down beside him.The following morning, as Lucas Anderson awoke, his vision was immediately filled with Andrea's face hovering inches from his own. He studied her features with a deep sense of adoration, whispering softly, "You are so gorgeous, Andrea. I could spend a lifetime just gazing at you and never tire of it." With these words lingering in the air, he reluctantly slid out of bed.Lucas reached for a pen and scribbled something on a piece of paper. Glancing back at the bed, he noticed Andrea beginning to awaken. "Good morning, Sunshine," he greeted her warmly, h
