MR. CEO, Your Wife Is Back! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 261 - チャプター 270

At eleven o’clock at night, Samuel stared at the dark screen of his phone with a tense face. He had tried to call Rebecca more than ten times, but the result was always the same—no answer. The ringing tone always ended with the sound of a voicemail. He let out a heavy sigh and rubbed his temples harshly.“Why won’t you answer my call, Rebecca…” he muttered softly. He knew Rebecca must be angry. And this time, he couldn’t blame anyone but himself.The phone in his hand was finally thrown onto the table with force, almost falling to the floor. “Damn it!” he cursed under his breath.Reno, who was sitting on a chair not far from him, immediately turned his head. The boy frowned, looking at his father with a curious expression. “Daddy, what’s wrong? Are you mad?”Samuel looked at his son and tried to calm himself. “Daddy’s not mad, Reno. Daddy’s just upset.”Reno tilted his head, his sharp eyes reading the mood. “You’re upset because of Mommy, right?”Samuel didn’t answer right away. He to

At eleven in the morning, a middle-aged man stopped walking when he saw a young man lying unconscious not far from the bus stop.“Oh my God…” he muttered, quickly crouching down. “Son, can you hear me?”The young man didn’t move. His body looked weak, his face pale, and there was a bruise on his temple. The man immediately checked for breathing and a pulse—still there. He looked around in panic, searching for help.“Sir! Please, someone fainted here!” he shouted to a passing motorist.A few people stopped. Before long, with the help of two other men, they lifted the unconscious young man into a car and rushed him to the nearest hospital.On the way, the middle-aged man looked at the pale face beside him. “So young… I hope you’ll be alright,” he said softly.Meanwhile, somewhere else, Rebecca sat on the couch in her apartment’s living room with an annoyed expression. Since morning, she had been trying to reach Samuel multiple times, but the result was always the same—no answer.“Samuel

At eight in the morning, Rebecca—still living in Ellya’s body—sat silently on the sofa, absentmindedly playing with her phone. Her eyes were blank, her mind drifting to many things, especially about Samuel, who had been acting cold lately.Meanwhile, elsewhere, Aric had just been discharged from the hospital. His condition was improving, though he still looked a little weak. He sat in the living room of his apartment, staring at his phone screen with a faint smile.“It’s time I talk to Ellya properly,” he murmured, then began typing a message.[Ellya, if you’re not busy, come to the apartment. I’d like to talk for a bit.]A few minutes later, a reply came.[Sorry, Aric. I can’t today. I have a college assignment I need to finish.]Aric read the message and nodded slightly. He didn’t suspect anything. “Well, at least she still replies to my messages,” he said with a small smile. Then he typed another message.[Alright then. Don’t overwork yourself, okay? Let me know once you’re done wi

Rebecca was just about to leave when her steps stopped — Samuel had gently grasped her hand from behind. The touch made her heartbeat quicken.“Rebecca…” Samuel called softly.Rebecca turned around, and before she could say anything, Samuel pulled her into his arms. The hug was firm, warm. Rebecca closed her eyes, letting herself sink into the comfort of his chest.“I still miss you,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.Samuel smiled faintly. “Even though we just spent some time together to ease that longing, even if only for a while.”Rebecca looked up at him, then suddenly hugged him even tighter. “It’s not enough,” she said shortly.Samuel chuckled softly, his voice low and warm. “You really are something…”But before he could finish his sentence, Rebecca tilted her head up and kissed his lips again. The kiss was deep and rushed, full of the longing they had both been holding back. Samuel responded without h

Rebecca came out with her hair still wet, droplets falling onto her shoulders. Her face looked fresh, and a small smile curved on her lips.Samuel, who was still leaning on the sofa, immediately turned his head. His gaze softened. “Finished?” he asked quietly.Rebecca nodded while drying her hair with a small towel. “Yes, my husband.”Samuel smiled crookedly. “If I had known the result would be like this, I should’ve told you to shower earlier.”Rebecca shot him a sharp glance but smiled. “There you go again, teasing.”Samuel chuckled lightly, then sat up straighter. “I’m only giving a compliment, not teasing.”Before Rebecca could reply, her phone started ringing. The distinct sound of a video call filled the quiet room. The name on the screen made her fall silent. It was from Aric.Samuel glanced briefly at the still-vibrating phone on the table. “Why don’t you answer it?” he asked flatly.Rebecca quickly picked up the phone, stared at the screen for a few seconds, then pressed igno
