CEO's Regret: Chasing Ex-Wife And Baby Back のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

[ Olivia ]I tried to walk as fast as I could so Stephan would not follow me.The lunch was no less than a living nightmare for me. He found out who my boss was and it meant he’d come after me with questions and I wasn’t ready to answer them.“Where you think you’d hide from me, Miss Scott?” His deep voice made me halt and I felt like my body was frozen.Stephan Hamilton was right behind me.Why did I refuse to take a ride with Ethan?His deep footsteps in the deserted garden of the restaurant could be heard, it was predatory.In the next few moments, he was standing in front of me with a hard expression on his face and accusing glare.“Excuse me, Mr. Hamilton. I have to go home.” I said avoiding to look at his face.“I am not letting you go until you answer my questions, Olivia.” He crossed his hands across his chest.“I don’t owe you anything, Mr. Hamilton. If you want to ask me what I was doing with Ethan. He is my boss and I work in his company.” I said.“I know this but I want to

[ Olivia ]“Seriously? I mean your ex-husband not just got jealous when he saw your boss but also kissed you. Oh wow! I can imagine how passionate it would be.” June, my best friend, exclaimed when I told her what Stephan had done.I felt heat rushing to my ears and cheeks when those moments replayed in my mind. After a very long time, I felt his lips, the kiss awakened the deep sedimented emotions inside me. The kiss made me realize that I was still in love with him.And if he keeps coming into my close vicinity, I don’t know how long I’d resist him.“Your face is the mirror of your heart and mind, Livy. Why are you hesitating when he is proposing to you marry him? It doesn’t matter if he remembers you or not. I feel that you must not let this chance go and fight back for your love.” June advised.“And allow that witch and toxic Hamilton family to torture me and my daughter again. No, I can’t involve Emma in their sick games. Vivienne is a psychopath. She’d hurt my daughter.” I shook

[ Stephan ]“Steph, come and meet my friends. You have been sitting on this sofa since you entered in the party. Come on, let’s have some fun.” Vivienne, who was the host, dressed in a luxury brand’s limited edition dress, made her way to me.She always preferred to go over the top in everything and it really made me anxious when I spotted her friends from the media. They worked or owned major newspapers or news channels.“I am fine here, Vivienne. Some of your friends won’t like my presence over here and the feeling is mutual.” I said in a sarcastic tone.“They won’t bother you. Come and let’s have some fun. It’s my party.” She insisted and I guessed she was a little tipsy.“I’ll join you once they leave or I am fine here, Vivienne. I hope you understand.” I said quietly and her face fell.“Okay, whenever you feel like mingle with others, please join us.” She said and left.I sighed and grabbed another shot of neat whisky.My parents were also present in the party and busy talking to

[ Olivia ]I stared down at the papers waiting for my signatures, it’d seal my fate once again but this time, I was about to put a lot on stake including my most precious gem, my daughter.“Miss Scott, I am giving you another five minutes to think if you still have hesitation.” The officer at the marriage registration office said when he saw that I wasn’t signing the marriage certificate.“Olivia, what are you thinking? You have already made your decision. You are standing at the marriage registration office.” June, who accompanied me to sign as my witness, nudged me.I came back to my senses and first stole a glance at Stephan who looked composed. He didn’t flinch when he signed the papers without any hesitation. He was confident.I again looked down at his beautiful signature. I was going to accept him again.I was still stranger to him just like the first time we got married. He had been cold and distant towards me during our first marriage. Something had changed with him. He paid

[ Stephan ]“Stephan, tell me it’s not my nightmare? You..you…and that woman..on the news channels..you are not together, right?” My mother shook me.Her horrified expressions and my father’s red face didn’t affect me.I gave them the taste of their own medicine.“That woman is my wife now, Mom. I should have told you this personally but you and Dad aren’t the only one who loves to use media. I am your son.” I smirked triumphantly looking at my father’s dark face.“Stephan Hamilton, I am calling a press conference now and you’ll give a clarification over this misunderstanding. You are still engaged to Vivienne Fisher.” My father said in a cold tone which could shake a timid heart but I wasn’t bothered.“I will make no such confession because I already have a wife, a woman I prefer as my life partner. Vivienne can only be a business partner and a friend. I made it clear since the beginning but you left me with no other choice.” I said.Their phones were ringing constantly.I also recei
