บททั้งหมดของ Mr. CEO, Leave Me Breathless : บทที่ 221 - บทที่ 230

 “Oh my God, are you serious? He’s not in prison because he’s dead. Yuan is dead. I already told you this, didn’t I? Did you just forget, or were you really not listening to me?”I froze when I heard that. My chest hammered hard as I processed her words. I felt my shoulders slump, and I immediately looked at her.“What?” I asked her one more time.“Yuan is dead. He died when they rescued you that day. He shot at you, so Peter got revenge. Dead on arrival. Uncle Timothy and Enrique Lim escaped,” she explained to me.I immediately looked away again. My chest felt tight, but I did not feel any pain. No hurt. Nothing. Maybe it was because my exhaustion outweighed everything else.

I spent several minutes crying there before deciding to leave. I could feel that I was feeling better, and all that was needed now was extreme caution. As soon as I stepped out of the room, my eyes immediately searched for Ethan. I turned down the hallway toward the lift and there I saw his back, so I walked toward him slowly.“She doesn’t know. She doesn’t need to know. She thinks I remember everything, but I don’t. Not yet.”I froze mid-step when I heard him say that. I lifted my gaze to him, and he still had his back turned to me. His phone was still at his ear.“She doesn’t need to know. I didn’t even tell her! I don’t want her to think about me anymore—”I didn’t listen to the rest of what he wa

It was past eight when I finished dinner. After putting Slater to sleep, I went out to the terrace of the house. I was too tired to sit properly in the chair as I read Ethan’s texts.A little while later, a message popped up again. It was from Caleb, so I read it immediately.I felt a mix of guilt and anger at the same time. I wasn’t sure if he knew Ethan’s true condition, but I had a feeling he did since they were the only ones who often talked.I quickly typed a message to him.My heart immediately raced when I read his reply. I even stood up as I dialed his number, and when he answered, I exploded."Don’t interfere with my life anymore, Caleb, if you still want us to be okay!" I said firmly.I could hear his heavy breathing on the other line."What’s happening with you? Why are you hurting yourself again? Lynne is also worried, Selina. You know how hard it is for Ethan—""And he also knows—everyone knows, actually, that I fucking hate liars! I heard everything, Caleb. He hasn’t rem

“You should have just let me be for now,” I said firmly before leaving him there.I quickly walked away from him. I could feel my anger flaring up the moment I saw him, along with how much I missed him. I suddenly wanted to hug him right after I saw him walking toward me earlier. But my anger was stronger. It gave me a reason not to face him, especially in front of Noah.I almost ran all the way back to the townhouse. When I got there, I went straight to my room. I nearly slammed and broke the door when I entered because of how furious I was.Who told him where we were? Why did he have to follow when I never said he should? Why does everything always seem to go his way?I felt the corners of my eyes slowly heat up. I threw myself onto the bed, pulled the blanket over my head, and cried and cried. This feeling has been so hard for me to express. It feels like my heart is so heavy that no matter how much I cry or rest, it does not lessen at all. And the fact that I still need to be very

I felt a dull ache brush against my heart when I heard that. I stared at him, trying to see if he truly meant what he said, but all I could see in his eyes was fatigue. He looked so tired.I looked away and let out a deep sigh to suppress my emotions. I knew that if he said one more word, I would break down.“You don’t need to do that, Grandpa. Ethan is here. We’re fine here. We’ll just leave the country so we can finally forget everything that happened here. I can’t stay here any longer,” I said wearily, about to leave, but he stopped me.I looked at him again. I was not sure what I was seeing in his eyes this time.“I hope the day comes when you can forgive me.”That was the o
