All Chapters of Till Divorce Do Us Part: Chapter 671 - Chapter 680

MARK“I want you to send a memo to everyone that they are to close up by midday,” I instructed Reyna. “I want them to have time to spend with their families, and of course, the company will be on break for the next two days,” I added.“I am sure everyone is eager for a holiday,” Reyna said with a smile as she took down the note.“Yes, they have all been working all month,” I responded.Reyna was still smiling, and I was beginning to think that she might be smiling for some other reasons.“What’s with the smile on your face?” I asked her.“It’s just that your staff members have been talking about you,” Reyna said lightly.“Oh, really?” I asked, relaxing back into my seat. “I am being gossiped in my own company, isn’t it?” I added.But somehow, I wasn’t upset, or maybe it was because of Reyna’s smile.Somehow, I figured that if it was something bad, she wouldn’t be smiling.“Apparently, you are the CEO and there is no way they wouldn’t talk about you,” Reyna said.I nodded in agreement.

MARKI held the flower behind me as Alexa walked down the stairs, and my breath hitched when I saw her descending the stairs.She looked absolutely stunning and I was reminded of how attracted I was to Alexa. It wasn’t just about the attraction, but also love.Nothing I felt for Alexa ever died.They had all been put to rest after she rejected me, but watching her right now and seeing that little bump in front of her, knowing that the baby growing fast inside of her belonged to me as well, everything I had felt for Alexa in the last couple of months came back to life.I could barely even breathe.And I didn’t stop staring at her until she got to where I stop in the living room.“Hi, Mark,” she said.Alexa had packed her hair in a neat bun, and it was just perfect.She didn’t have much makeup on except powder and lip gloss, but I realized that I wouldn’t have wanted her any other way. Even if Alexa’s hair was scattered and she applied nothing at all on her face, she would still look st

ALEXAEverything seemed calm and peaceful between Mark and I, and a part of me wished that it would never end, but I also had to remind myself that there was nothing between us except for the fact that we were expecting a child together.If I wasn’t pregnant, Mark would probably be doing this with Mona.“Alexa,” Mark called, interrupting my thought.“Mm?” I responded, snapping out of my reverie.I had no idea why I was thinking about something like this in a moment like this.“What are you thinking about?” Mark asked me.“Why do you think I was thinking about something?” I asked in return.“You seemed lost in thought for a moment,” Mark responded. “What were you thinking about?” He asked again.And it was just at the tip of my tongue to ask him if he would have been here with me if I wasn’t pregnant and not with Mona. If he was doing all of this because he felt the need to act responsible because the thought was making me see his gestures as obligational.Granted, I knew that I pushed

MARKWhy in heaven’s name would Mona choose this moment to call?I really should have switched it off, but I didn’t even remember that I had a working cell phone after I saw Alexa walking down that stairs in that dress.Everything else in my head disappeared.And now, she chose this moment to call. I intentionally didn’t speak to Mona at all because I wanted this moment with Alexa to be special.She could have called me during hours of the day, but she didn’t until this very moment. As soon as I ended the call, I ensured that I turned off the phone and kept it in my pocket so that I wouldn’t have to deal with such distractions.Tonight was special.I didn’t want anything or anyone to ruin it.“I am so sorry about that, Alexa. It was someone from work, and I don’t want us to be distracted,” I lied.Gosh, I hated lying to Alexa.She would hate me if she found out about the lie and the big secret I was keeping from her, and I dreaded that as well because more than anyone else, I knew how

ALEXA“He asked me to marry him, Noelle!” I yelled into the phone as soon as Mark drove out and Noelle picked up.It was about a few minutes to the New Year.Mark and I had surprisingly spent more hours at the local diner, way more than we had ever spent with each other, and after his proposal, I could barely wait to talk to Noelle.I wasn’t certain she would pick up, but I was too desperate not to try.“What?” Noelle was stunned to her bones. “Who?” Noelle asked even though we both knew who I was referring to.“Mark asked me to marry him a while ago, Noelle,” I blurted out again.I just couldn’t get into the house, so I stopped in the living room to speak with Noelle. Every part of me was acting in a way I couldn’t even understand. I didn’t know how best to explain it.Mark Ronaldo and I were married for five years before our messy divorce, but this was the first time he was actually asking me to marry him…a few hours to the New Year!“Are you serious?” Noelle sounded more stupefied.
