Semua Bab Betrayed By Husband, Saved By Aloof CEO: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Alex ushered the mother and daughter out of the house, and the three of them got into the vehicle.A while later, they arrived at his private airstrip.“Huh… what’s going on?” Lovett was still confused when a man stepped forward and held the car door open for her.She stepped out, slightly bobbing, her expression dazed.Alex picked Reema up into his arms and walked up the airstairs.As Lovett followed behind, she was utterly dumbfounded. Every man present bowed deeply as they passed, not straightening until they were safely inside the jet.Taking in the jet’s interior, Lovett grew even more stunned—and oddly excited. Weren’t they supposed to be “going out”? How did that turn into boarding a private jet? This wasn’t going out at all. This was traveling!So… where were they headed?“Settle down.” Alex’s calm voice made her take a seat without another word.Everyone buckled up, and soon, the jet took off.About two to three hours later, they landed in China!After disembarking, the famil

“…” Blink.“…” Blink.All of a sudden, the mother-and-daughter duo exchanged looks and burst into laughter.Lovett watched them calmly, her expression indifferent.After catching her breath, Dianne growled, “Don’t play with me. Get straight to the point, or I’ll skin you alive. We know Alexander Hudson was forced into an arranged marriage—who is it with?”Ah. How boring. Why was the woman getting so worked up when she was only stating the truth? Lovett giggled inwardly.‘Let’s have some fun, then.‘ Her stomach danced giddily.Since Dianne didn’t find her worthy of being a threat…“They don’t live together… so I don’t know much,” Lovett said, her voice low and timid. “However, I do know that my boss doesn’t like his wife.”So that’s how it is... Ashley and her mother exchanged brief glances.Since it was like that, the heavens were on their side. They still had a chance—a big one.Dianne’s fingers rapped against the desk. “You’re going to find a way to arrange a coincidental meeting b

“Er?…” She blinked blankly.Anyway…Lovett found a table knife and cut the cake into two neat slices, placing each on a plate—one for Alex, the other for herself.She brought out a bottle of wine from the cellar. Alex uncorked it while she fetched two wine glasses and set them on the island.She dragged over two counter stools and sat, quietly watching as Alex poured the wine.The two of them ate in silence, simply enjoying each other’s presence.“Thank you,” Alex suddenly said, out of nowhere.This was the first time someone was celebrating his birthday with him so early. It had been so long. Ever since he moved out of the Hudson Estate, he’d been living alone so there was usually no one to sing for him at midnight.“Huh?”He gently patted Lovett’s hair and took a sip of his wine.“The cake tastes amazing. You made it?”“Un.” She nodded, beaming.He smiled and patted her hair again.After finishing the cake, the couple headed to the lounge to watch a series—The King: Eternal Monarch.

---The event progressed smoothly. The master of ceremonies handled his duties with ease, while Gerald stepped in occasionally as the assistant. Regardless of all that, the attention of the entire hall remained fixed on one person—President Hudson.Even those seated at the very back strained their necks, desperate to catch even a glimpse of the suit he wore, despite having screens close to them.While all this unfolded, Alex himself was focused on something—or rather, someone—else. He had been searching the crowd for her, yet she seemed to be nowhere in sight.With a lazy flick of his index finger, Gerald appeared at his side at once, head lowered respectfully.“Where’s my wife?” the CEO asked calmly.Gerald swallowed uneasily. “She’s—”Before he could finish, an approaching figure interrupted him.Alex rose to his feet to greet Minister Andrew, and from that moment on, he was swiftly surrounded. Everyone had been waiting for a chance—for someone to lead, so when the minister did, the

Upon reaching the parking garage, the CEO carefully helped his wife into the backseat. She was barely conscious, her head lolling weakly against his shoulder. His movements were steady, careful, almost reverent, as he buckled her in. Then he got behind the wheel and drove home without letting anyone else take over.Doctor Edward arrived not long after. Earlier, he had been puzzled when Alex’s assistant abruptly pulled him away from the birthday celebration. Now, the reason lay pale and unconscious on the bed.An IV was set up at once.Edward worked quickly and efficiently, his expression darkening as he checked her vitals and injected her. Alexander stood nearby, silent and still, but the air around him was suffocating.“The toxins will be flushed out of her system,” Edward finally said, removing his gloves. “Let her rest. She’ll be fine by morning. I’ll come back to check on her.”Alexander gave a single nod.Clinton knew better than to make light of the situation. He squeezed his fr
