All Chapters of Billionaire And His CEO Wife: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"Stella's point of view""Mr. Woods, the plane is about to land in New York." The sound of Steve's voice immediately filled our ears.Ethan Woods moved away from me when he saw Steve enter the room.I'm glad Steve entered the room because he prevented me from being tense because of this man's proximity. How long have I been attempting to convince him I am not at all affected by his presence by keeping a stern expression on my face?In actuality, however, I am incredibly eager to sense his proximity. Why do I have butterflies in my stomach whenever he approaches me?"Steve, don't you have the manners to walk right into the bedroom of a married couple without knocking?" He turned his face in Steve's direction and began berating him."I'm sorry, Mr. Woods. I didn't notice that you were spending romantic time with your wife; instead, I came to let you know the pilot was unable to announce the plane's landing because of a technical issue with the plane. Apologies, Mrs. and Mr. Woods." As h

"Stella's point of view,""Because I caused you harm, I have to care for you while your hand is healing, and I will not shirk my duties." He answered as he fastened the bandage to my hand.I tried to look into his eyes to find the same emotion that was there earlier, but this time there was none; instead, they were as cold and lifeless as glacier ice that had been frozen solid. Perhaps I attempted to see something else in his eyes since he felt nothing at all for me. My heart was filled with hope, though, as he pulled the first aid kit out of Steve's hands and treated my wound with care.He seemed envious of Steve. Why did he treat my wound with such tenderness, as if it had happened in his hand instead of mine?Did you not hear him correctly when he said that he did all of this to apologize and show that he will be a gentleman by feeling guilty about his error and your wound? My subconscious was suppressing the hope that had grown in my heart.I got the idea that you shouldn't give m

"Stella's point of view,""What?Are you stating the truth?Do you miss Mr. Woods?Are things going well between the two of you?"Avery's inquiries show no signs of abating."Please don't bother me with your questions, Avery; nothing has transpired the way you expect it to; nothing has worked out between us; in fact, our distance has grown even more." I stated this while inhaling deeply."Stella, stop taking things so seriously if you and your partner disagree over something. After all, every husband and wife argue from time to time." She shook her shoulders in response."Do you not remember that our relationship is based solely on a contract and that neither of us is your typical husband and wife?" I spoke in a grating manner."Why did you go on your honeymoon, though?" After hearing all of her questions, my brain is spinning."Stop babbling, Avery, and pay attention to driving the car." I started getting inside the car and occupying the passenger seat."What?What's that I hear?Why

"Stella's point of view,""Stella, you need to look into this immediately." Avery put the news on the international financial market in front of me as I was working on my laptop."Oh no, this is a big story." I grabbed the tab out of her grasp and read the entire news report."Oh crap, I knew this was going to happen." As the call flashed on my phone's screen, I muttered."Then what will happen?" She was looking at me with a curious and perplexed expression in her eyes."I don't know, Avery; let me take this call first." I said this while holding up my phone."What did they say, exactly?""They have scheduled an emergency meeting to address the issue as quickly as possible, and I must go.""What?But where?After all, in which American city is this meeting being held?" Her voice was distinctly apprehensive and shocked."Avery,the meeting has taken place in China, not the United States.""What?So, you're visiting China? When will you be back?How are you going to travel there by yours

"Stella's point of view,""Avery, my beloved P.A., you catch the evening flight to China." I called her number as I walked out of the building after my meeting."What? Your meeting was over so quickly." Her tone of voice conveyed obvious disbelief."What has so surprised you, Avery? The conference began last evening as soon as I arrived in China, and now that I am free after staying up all night to attend it, why are you asking me useless questions rather than asking about my condition?" I am feeling quite upset because I am already very weary from not sleeping all night yesterday."Stella, please remain calm. I fly into China this evening.""Good girl," huh I exhaled deeply and let go of my stress.Before I leave for my hotel, I should call Ethan one more time. I had just gotten the phone out of my handbag and was about to dial his number when my phone's battery unexpectedly died.Oh crap, ever since I got on the plane yesterday, my phone has been in flight mode. Even when we were in
