All Chapters of My CEO Wife Panicked After Our Divorce: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Jessica snorted and pinched his hand. “Jealous again?”After hearing that, Chris immediately tried to let go of her hand, but Jessica didn’t allow it.“Is that so?” Mr. Wayne’s voice grew a bit heavier.Jessica quickly turned around. “Mr. Hall, what you said is nonsense. I never became your sister-in-law back then, and it won’t happen now. My husband is right here. Stop talking nonsense.”Many people nearby were watching the commotion.It was heard that over the years, Luke was about to replace Michael as the next heir of the Hall family.But since Michael had returned to the country with the child, even if the Hall family despised them, they couldn’t sever their family ties.Recently, Michael had been frequently visiting the old the Hall family mansion, suggesting their relationship was easing.The Hall family’s reputation was originally built by Michael’s parents.Luke’s parents were just branch company employees, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t enter the ma

“Take a close look at the details, mainly the prices.”Jennifer was in the kitchen. Michael wasn’t around. Jordan was watching TV. Jennifer took her computer from a cabinet compartment and held it while talking to Jessica.“Recently, Michael had been spending more time in the study, so it was hard for me to get in. Oh, and lately there have been calls coming in. As soon as they hear my voice, they stop talking. But if Michael or Jordan answers, they talk for a long time.”“Keep an eye on it.”It seemed the people behind Michael wouldn’t stay hidden much longer.Near the end of the workday, Jessica closed her computer and was about to pick up Chris, but unexpectedly, Michael called first, saying he was already waiting downstairs at the company. Jordan insisted on eating with her, so Jessica had no choice but to agree.However, Chris had already arrived at the company lobby ahead of them.He had gone to a lecture at school earlier, which ended some time ago. After talking with a t

Jessica shook her head slightly, looking a bit hesitant.“I’ve prepare some chicken. I’ll go make some roast chicken for you,” said Chris, without asking a single question about what Michael and Jessica had done or eaten that evening. He simply walked into the kitchen.He was dressed in home clothes, carrying with him the warmth and woody scent of their home. At that moment, Jessica’s heart softened.It turned out, her feelings for Chris had long been obvious.Once out the door, the world becomes complicated—open threats were easy to defend against, but hidden ones were much harder. Whether for outsiders or within the company, she had to stay vigilant with no room to let her guard down.Only by Chris’s side did Jessica feel no need to defend herself.He was her last safe haven.So no matter what, she wouldn’t let Chris go. Even if he misunderstood her relationship with Michael. Even if they were already divorced. She absolutely could not let Chris leave.Other than Chris, no on

A woman who held leverage had appeared—it would have been strange if anyone was happy about that.This woman, Jessica was determined to get.That night, Jessica curled up in Chris’s arms. Half-asleep, she suddenly mumbled, “I’m sorry about the wedding back then.”Chris held her tighter. “I’ve already forgotten.”But she knew Chris hadn’t forgotten.Even if he hadn’t been in love with her yet, a once-in-a-lifetime wedding wasn’t something he would forget so easily.Jessica nuzzled against Chris’s chest. “When everything settles down, let’s have another wedding. Or, like Mr. Wayne, we could just throw a simple banquet.”There would never be any the Hall family members again.Never again.Chris only smiled. He didn’t really believe that day would ever come.As expected, there were a lot of rumors about Michael and Jessica.People said the two came and went together at the Wilder Group. Others claimed Jessica and Chris had already divorced because of Michael’s interference. The

Shannon actually thought it wasn’t a bad thing.If Michael hadn’t shown up, Jessica and Chris might have continued to waste time. Chris wouldn’t have taken the initiative to leave, and Jessica wouldn’t have realized how important Chris was to her.So in her opinion, Michael was actually a bonding agent between the two of them.A temporary separation didn’t matter.What mattered was that something had changed.Jessica finally managed to slip away. Rubbing her wrist, red from being grabbed, she returned to Shannon’s side. The latter handed her a juice with a grin of gratitude. “The ‘bride’ finally has time to come back.”Jessica gave her a glare. She thought, if her mother ever found out about this, who knew how furious she’d get.Thankfully, her mother disdained the Hall family and wouldn’t attend their banquet.Her wrist had been gripped for quite a while, and it took a long time for the redness to fade. Jessica stood quietly in a corner the whole time, shielded by Indya and Sh
