All Chapters of Betrayed By Husband, Saved By Aloof CEO: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“Surprise!”Startled upon the impact, Lovett pulled away from the sudden hug to stare at the man who had wrapped his arms around her out of nowhere.No way!Pleasant surprise lit up her face, her eyes sparkling. “Lucas!”The man laughed easily. “Hello, ma’am.”“Ma’am your ar—!” She scoffed, then blinked. “When did you arrive?! You didn’t say you were coming. It’s so good to see you!”“I wanted to surprise you.”“Let me guess,” Lovett said knowingly, “Janet was in on this.”Lucas grinned and nodded.“That girl.” Lovett shook her head in mock irritation before leading him into the bakery.After Lucas had finished looking around, she ushered him into her office.“I’m proud of you, Lovett,” he said warmly.“Thanks, Doc.”And just like that, they slipped into easy conversation, catching up on each other’s lives.-----Rykard Industries.“Where are you headed?” A female employee asked inside the elevator.Letting out a heavy sigh, her colleague replied, her face drained of color, “The presi

After picking the children up from school, the four of them headed straight to the Hudson family estate.“Lovett! You naughty girl!” Old Madam Hudson exclaimed the moment she saw her granddaughter-in-law. “You didn’t tell me you were coming!”Lovett smiled brightly. “I did tell you last night that I’d send pastries over. I just forgot to mention that I’d be delivering them myself.”“Ai.” The older woman sighed, her grin stretching from ear to ear.“Great-granny!” Henry and Reema chorused as they ran in.The little ones scampered over to her armchair and wrapped their arms around her legs.“Oh, my little babies,” she said fondly, ruffling their hair.Soon after, a maid led the children off to Henry Jnr’s playroom, leaving the adults behind. The couple took their seats as two large boxes of pastries were brought in.--Somewhere within one of the many exquisitely furnished bedrooms of the Hudson mansion…“Benjamin, fuck you! You only ever loved my money!” Evelyn Hudson, Old Madam’s youn

***Gradually, the weekdays slipped by, and before anyone noticed, Saturday arrived.After getting dressed, Lovett went to fetch her daughter, and together they headed out. However, just as they passed the lounge, she slowed to a stop.Alex sat there, relaxed in one of the chairs, a magazine resting in his hand.“Huh?” Lovett murmured, her steps faltering.She glanced at the wall clock.Why was he still home? He usually left for work long before now.“Good morning, Daddy!” Reema skipped over happily.Alex set the magazine aside and pulled her onto his lap. “Hey, gorgeous. Ready to head out?”The night before, his wife had mentioned that she and Reema would be spending the day with a friend.“Mn.” The little girl nodded eagerly.“Alright, baby. Have fun.” He kissed her rosy cheek and gently placed her back on the floor.Lovett hesitated before asking, “Er… you’re not going to work today?”“I am,” Alex replied calmly. “Just not yet.”Oh.“Well then, we’re heading out—”“Hold on.”He pic

“Here.” Alex set a bowl of bibimbap before her – mixed rice topped with chicken, egg, and assorted vegetables – then handed her a spoon.“Thank you,” she muttered softly.He smiled and patted her head.Lovett’s back stiffened for a brief moment at the gesture. She blinked rapidly.The family ate dinner together. As expected, Reema chirped nonstop while her daddy fed her patiently.Not long after, she dozed off. Alex carried her to bed, and afterward, the couple cleared the table together.“Did you enjoy your day?” Alexander asked.Lovett paused before answering. “Yes, I did. Thank you.”“That’s good.”Alex loaded the dishes into the dishwasher, and they leaned silently against the kitchen island. When the cycle ended, they returned everything to its place.Soon after, they retired to their separate rooms.Just as Lovett was about to take a shower, her phone rang.“Oh my!”She had completely forgotten to call Lucas.She answered quickly. “Doc, I’m so sorry. We arrived a while ago—”Bef

_____The following morning, breakfast passed in an eerie silence.The couple ate quietly, not exchanging a single word. Alex had already arranged a personal chauffeur for Reema, so she had left early for school.The CEO barely touched his meal before standing up. “I’ll be traveling for a business trip—for a while.”With that, he calmly took his leave.Lovett watched his retreating back until he disappeared completely. Moments later, the sound of a car engine starting echoed faintly through the estate.A weary sigh escaped her lips.“Aish…” Her voice was laced with exhaustion.She hadn’t slept well the night before—tossing and turning endlessly, unable to pinpoint the reason for her restlessness.Now, hearing that her husband would be traveling again… Lovett shrugged off her thoughts. It was his business. It had nothing to do with her.Or so she told herself.She picked up her spoon and resumed eating. Once she was done, she got into her car and drove straight to Flour & Fluff.--For
