Semua Bab Betrayed By Husband, Saved By Aloof CEO: Bab 31 - Bab 40

---After leaving the eatery, Lovett headed straight home and began packing her belongings—and her daughter’s.By the time she was done, a long while had passed. She hadn’t packed everything, but most of it. It wasn’t as though they owned much anyway. They had only just returned, so the process wasn’t as stressful as she had expected.She loaded the trunk with their things, then locked the apartment after one final glance around.Getting into the car, she drove off. It was already time to pick Reema up from school.Reema was beyond elated to see her mother. Lovett hadn’t returned home the previous day; instead, her godmother had picked her up from school and spent time with her.“Oh, my baby, I’ve missed you so much.” Lovett hugged the little fluffy being tightly as she tickled her, as though she never wanted to let go.Reema giggled loudly, squirming in her mother’s embrace. “I’m going to pee!”Grinning, Lovett pulled back and patted her head. “You missed me?”“Yes, Mommy.” The littl

The Following Day By the time Lovett finished dressing her daughter for school, the Big Bad Demon had already left for work. She got into the car and drove Reema to school. Along the way, she noticed the little girl’s unusually downcast expression. “What’s the matter, honey?” Lovett asked, glancing at her through the rearview mirror. “What’s wrong?” Reema shook her head without a word. “There’s definitely something,” Lovett said gently. “Talk to Mommy, baby.” After a moment of hesitation, Reema finally spoke. “Daddy…” Just that single word, and Lovett already knew what was troubling her. Her heart softened instantly. “Baby, you’ll see Daddy this evening when he comes back from work,” she said with a warm smile. “He only left early because he has to work hard to provide for Little Reema.” At those words, the little girl’s face brightened.

——— It had been over a month of space-hunting, yet there was still no progress. Every day, Lovett followed real estate agents from one neighborhood to another, only to be disappointed each time. The buildings were either poorly maintained, lacked exposure, outrageously overpriced, or already taken. At this point, she was thoroughly fed up. Still, giving up wasn’t an option. This was her dream. So early that morning, the moment she received a call from yet another agent, she sped off to meet him—right after dropping Reema at school. Now, at four in the afternoon, she regretted even answering that call. Every place the man had shown her was hideous. Some weren’t even completed. A complete waste of time. A waste of energy. A waste of resources. They had parted ways barely twenty minutes ago. And twenty minutes later, her car had broken down—right in the middle of a heavy downpour. Stuck by the roadside, rain pounding against her windows, Lovett felt utterly exasper

A few seconds passed as they stared at each other, neither blinking.“Does it hurt?” The man’s deep, regal voice finally broke the silence.Lovett felt dazed. Who exactly was this man? He was nothing like the aggressive, domineering person she had first met a few months ago.Finding her voice at last, she took two steps back. “Er… no.”“Get your things. We’re going home.”Home.Lovett froze for a brief second. The way the word rolled so easily off his tongue...Pushing the thought aside, she opened the car door and picked up her handbag.At the CEO's signal, Gerald appeared instantly.Alex took Lovett’s car key and handed it to him. “Let’s go. My assistant will handle your car.”Gerald’s mouth fell open.His boss was dumping him?!Without further delay, the CEO guided his wife into his car. He took the driver’s seat and sped off.This was cruelty at its peak! Gerald scowled as the vehicle disappeared down the road. Pulling out his phone, he dialed a number.“My boss is a bully! Let’s

Gerald was astounded, biting down on his bottom lip in regret. He should have just kept his mouth shut.Dejected, he turned and made his way back into the building.----A faint smile tugged at the corner of Alex’s lips the moment he stepped into the house. That familiar, sweet aroma drifting from the kitchen…The smile faded as he walked into the lounge.“Ah! You’re back! We were waiting for you.” His wife emerged from the kitchen, hands full, grinning as she greeted him.Alexander blinked.Her smile… so beautiful.But was she really smiling at him, or was someone behind him? He turned to check.There was no one else.That was a first.“Yeah,” he drawled.“Go take your seat at the table. I’ll be right there.”Alexander remained where he was, his sharp gaze following her every movement like an eagle stalking its prey.“Here. Please give this to Granny. I’m sorry I took so long. Have a good night.”Lovett beamed as she handed a food bag to the chauffeur who had just arrived.Alexander
