บททั้งหมดของ Mr. CEO, Leave Me Breathless : บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

After our meeting, Yuan picked me up, inviting me out for a dinner date. I wasn’t sure what was on his mind, but I guessed he was still trying to make up for what happened earlier, even though I had already told him it was fine and hoped it wouldn’t happen again.As I walked outside the building, my phone beeped. I reached into my bag, expecting a text from Yuan, but it wasn’t.Unknown NumberCan we talk? Just for a moment, Selina. I’m at the coffee shop near your building.YvoEthan’s half-brother.My brow furrowed, and my heart started racing. I suddenly remembered how they had looked at my son that day, the questions they had asked, and the ones they never got an answer to.“Get him in the car, Yuan… please,” I whispered as we retrieved Slater.Yuan nodded and immediately scooped him up, pausing for a moment to glance at me before heading out. I struggled to catch my breath, my gaze fixed on them.The last time I saw her, I had been so vulnerable. Her face showed traces of age, yet

I could feel my hands trembling from the sheer rage coursing through me. If I didn’t let this anger out now, I felt like I’d lose my mind. I was screaming inside, hoping she could somehow hear it! God, this woman!“Why are you saying that to me? Are you serious? You don’t even know what you’re talking about,” I said in disbelief, shaking my head.Eleanor just laughed. “I know everything, Selina. I know—”“Really? So you’re going after me just because I’m fighting for my dad’s company that he tried to destroy?” I shot back, unable to believe her audacity.I stepped forward quickly and grabbed her by the arm. I saw the flash of pain in her eyes, but I ignored it.“I know what you’re doing, Eleanor. If I were you, I’d leave while I still can,” I said firmly, releasing her.I didn’t wait for her to leave first, I just walked out, almost running to the restroom so I could finally let out all the emotions I’d been holding back.That woman knows something. I could feel it. She talks like she

By nightfall, Yuan arrived at our house, accompanied by his cousin, Madisson. I was surprised that Peter wasn’t with them, so I immediately called him without letting Madisson notice. As Yuan headed to the kitchen to put the food he brought, I followed right behind.I found him heating the pizza he had brought in the microwave. He didn’t notice me at first. I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him tightly from behind. He stiffened for a moment before gently holding my arms around him.“Hey… what’s wrong?” he asked softly, trying to face me, but I didn’t let him.He had no idea that Slater had asked for his Daddy twice today. How could I tell him? I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. I knew how close he was to my son, and I was terrified that things might change because of Slater’s request.“I just missed you. How was your day?” I said, trying to mask the sadness in my voice.I loosened my hug slightly, allowing him to finally turn toward me. I tilted my head up to look at him—

I saw the surprise on her face. She frowned briefly before taking a shot of tequila.“He proposed to you?” she asked, startled. I immediately shook my head.“No. He just asked. He suddenly opened up about marriage and…” I trailed off, looking away from her.My gaze drifted to the people around us. Some had started slow dancing, while others stayed at their tables, drinking.“And?” I heard Melody prompt, making me look back at her.I let out a heavy sigh. After all, she’s my best friend.“…and I suddenly felt suffocated. I don’t know, Melody. It felt different when he said he wanted to marry me. Don’t you thi

“Why did you lie to me when I asked you about your pregnancy?” he demanded authoritatively, and that was when I finally let out the breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding.I didn’t know I had been holding it in all this time. All I felt was anger and confusion, confusion over something I shouldn’t even be thinking about anymore.Why am I here? Why am I standing in front of the man who destroyed my life back then? Why am I letting him get this close to me again?“I… did not lie to you. I wasn’t pregnant. There is no child. We don’t have a child. Stop this madness,” I said firmly as I headed for the door, desperate to leave.But he grabbed my wrist instantly, pulling me back until I almost crashed into his chest.“Why do you keep denying it, Selina?” he said firmly, tightening his grip. “Do you have any idea that you still don’t know how to lie, even now?”I yanked my hand away with all my strength and cursed repeatedly. I could see how persistent he was about this ridiculous claim.
