บททั้งหมดของ I Married A CEO Dad: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

[ Claire ]“Claire, what’s bothering you? I have been observing you since you came back home but I didn’t ask you back then as Travis was with us. You told me that the meeting went well. Did something happen at office?” Tristan’s gentle voice forced me to tear my eyes from the draft of some pending reports that I was reading.I looked at his side, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting keenly for my answer. I took off my reading glasses and shut my laptop.“The deal is sealed, only the legal formalities are yet to be done.” I answered his first question but swallowed my rest of the words because I didn’t want Tristan to dwell into my problems.A smile spread on his lips and he grabbed my hand, “I am happy for you, Claire and I feel really proud to see how bravely you are facing every challenge. Just remember I am always here for you whenever you need me.” He said and kissed my palm.I felt peace at heart listening to his words.“I know you are always there for me. Thanks, Tris

[ Tristan ]“Alicia, I have found a lawyer for you, she’s best in domestic violence cases and I am sure that she’ll help you to get rid of that despicable man in a legal way.” I told my friend as we sipped our coffee. Claire was still sleeping, she could be late for office but I want her to not exert herself so I let her sleep for a while.She looked at me, her pupils reflecting confusion.“You found a lawyer for me? Means you want me to drag Ryan in the court? Do you believe that he’d grant my freedom easily?” She asked me multiple questions and they were logical.I placed my cup on the table and turned to face her, it was going to be a long conversation and I want her to be prepared for her own future’s sake.“He has to, Alicia. We won’t leave any choice for him. He has made you and your son suffer. Don’t you want a stable life for your son? He needs a mother like you and a life far from the toxicity of Ryan Bale. The boy lived in fear, the trauma is deep and if you don’t want him t

[ Claire ]“I don’t want to go back home.” I pouted as we strolled on the streets, it was risky but our guards surrounded us.“But we can’t stroll around like this for long. Our kid is waiting at home.” Tristan said pecking my hand.“Hmm, I want to spend some time with him before we call it a night.” I said. Everything feels like a dream. I finally managed to confess my love for him and his reaction was priceless. I know he won’t leave my side forever.“Let’s go back to our car. We’ll buy some burgers and fries for the kids.” He said and we made our way back to the restaurant. Tristan was holding my hand protectively.We bought the burgers and fries from a food truck before moving towards our car when my phone rang and I asked Tristan to wait. The caller id showed my grandparents’ landline number. My heart leaped, I wasted no time in swiping the green button. After the sour encounter with grandpa at office, I thought it was from him.“Hello, Grandma?”“No, Ma’am, I am Cindy, the house

[ Tristan ]“Caleb, I know it’ll be hard for you to believe but whatever I am going to tell you is true.” I said to Caleb.As expected, his grandfather forbade him to see his grandmother. Then, he called me since he was feeling alone. I helped Claire to sleep, she faced difficulty but I had to keep her away from stress. I asked him to come to our house.He turned to face me. His eyes had bags under them, “Tristan, why I am having a strong feeling that something happened between Grandpa and Claire. She has been his favourite. He always pampered her but you said, he asked her to keep her distance from our grandma. It doesn’t sit well with me.” He said.“Please, be quiet. I don’t want Claire to hear you and come here.” I reminded him.“Sorry, I forgot that my sister is sleeping in the next room. Please, pour me another drink.” Caleb rubbed his forehead. I feel bad for this man who is struggling in his dysfunctional family.I made drink for us. It was not late but the night felt very quie

[ Claire ]“Mr. Pierce, we understand your concern but this is our policy. We can’t take our decisions against any patient and their family’s wishes. Mr. Jones doesn’t want us to allow any visitor to his wife. Sorry, we can’t do anything.” The director of the hospital whom Tristan summoned apologised to us.“No, Mr. Hall, you can do one thing. Type your resignation letter and mail it to me. I’ll accept it first asap.” The owner of the hospital glared at the director who stood there helplessly.As we predicted earlier, Grandpa strictly told the hospital staff to forbid us from seeing Grandma so Tristan took the matters in his hands and now, we’re standing in the hospital director’s office. My heart felt heavy.“Mr. Hall, I am being very generous here but do you have any idea that Mr. Jones is a very old man and at this age, people talk weirdly and act according to their fluctuating emotions. Mr. Jones is greatly affected by his son’s death and now his wife is sick. He is only paranoid.
