A Mistaken Night With The CEO 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 121 - 챕터 130

"Hello, Austin. What is it?" Derrick asked as he picked up his ringing phone in the sitting room."The policemen have arrested Ms. Erica Harrison as you instructed," Austin relayed, and Derrick felt satisfied to hear that."That's fine. Get back to work," Derrick replied as he ended the call.He turned to face Miranda, who looked away from him."You don't have to worry about the slap; it will subside," Miranda said, wanting to leave Derrick's sitting room as she felt jealous, thinking it was one of his female friends who had called him."You shouldn't be acting stubbornly, Miranda. I understand you don't want to forgive me, but you're here because of my mother. So you have to look good before her. Come and sit; let me help you ice your cheek. I won't bite," Derrick said with a smile, but Miranda frowned."I will do it by myself," she replied, walking up to him to collect the ice pack.Derrick caught Miranda's arm and dragged a seat out for her to sit down beside his bar. He picked up

Miranda was tense in the sitting room after Derrick left her and went back to his room. She stood up from the chair and walked to his bedroom door to knock and beg him to release Erica from police custody.Derrick stood on his bedroom balcony, gazing out at the estate premises when he saw Larry drive his car into the driveway and park it.His fists clenched upon seeing that his elder sister had returned, and he moved back to his bedroom to welcome them since his afternoon nap had been interrupted.However, as Derrick pulled his bedroom door open to exit the room, he met gazes with Miranda."Can we talk? Please, you shouldn't have arrested Erica. You should let her go," Miranda said as she stood nervously in front of Derrick, fidgeting with her fingers as she watched him pull his bedroom door open.Derrick looked at Miranda's face, unsure of how to respond."Your fiancé is here to see you," he told her, watching her brows draw into a thin line."Who?" Miranda asked, and Derrick smiled,

Miranda held her purse as she walked into the hospital with Derrick. Derrick was holding Oliver's hand; the young boy didn't want to let go of his father's hand either.Miranda could feel the gazes of other patients visiting the hospital upon them. As it was night, the hospital's white LED lights were fully switched on, making the lobby bright.As Derrick knew the ward where his mother was admitted, he greeted the nurse and walked away.Bashfully, Miranda followed Derrick up to the top floor where his mother was admitted. As they walked out of the private elevator together, Miranda continued to gaze at Derrick's back, admiring him, but her mind was conflicted.Derrick, holding onto Oliver's hand, arrived at the front door of the ward where his mother was admitted. Just as he was about to pull the door open, Lady Celine and her immediate younger twin sisters, Olivia and Agnes, walked out of the room. They were dressed in similar long gowns and had their handbags slung over their should

Larry arrived at the city police station and parked his car in the lot. He was fuming, his thoughts consumed by the image of Miranda at Derrick's house."How could she lie to me just to be with Derrick? It’s clear that she doesn't want to marry me because of him!" Larry slammed his fists on the steering wheel. He was enraged. He loved Miranda, wanted to marry her, and give her the good life she deserved. But today, he felt betrayed, doubting her sincerity and beginning to lose hope of her ever becoming his wife.After a few moments, Larry finally exited his car and headed into the police station to see his sister. At the very least, he needed to find out if Erica would be granted bail. As he entered the station, he saw Erica stepping out of the cell and approaching the counter. Her father had settled her bail, and she had signed an agreement to never approach Derrick Luis again.Erica wore a deep scowl on her face. *That bitch!* she cursed Miranda in her mind. It never occurred to Eri

Miranda finished bathing when she heard the subtle knock on her guest room door. She walked up to the door and pulled it open to see who was there. However, upon opening the door, she met face-to-face with Derrick."Huh, what do you want?" she asked him, not opening the door completely as she stood by the door and blocked his entry."Can I come in?" Derrick asked her, despite seeing that she was wrapped in only a white towel around her chest."No. It's late now. Goodnight and sleep tight," Miranda replied, still standing by the door frame as she peeked out her head and responded to him."Wait," Derrick took more steps closer to meet her, and he said, "I know that you want me. But that's not why you should be pretending.""Mmmm," Miranda was rendered speechless. She couldn't explain why she had hugged him either, and she tried to clarify the reason."Um, it's nothing. I just wanted to thank you for looking after Oliver and making him happy," she said."Hmm," Derrick turned to leave, an
