All Chapters of Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

In a private room at the cafe, Winter sat quietly, doing her best not to look too rattled or too angry.With her résumé and qualifications, there was no reason she should have been rejected. She had spent all this time assuming she was definitely going to Eveland. That was why she had trained with Roy in hand-to-hand combat and shooting.But today, when she checked the list, her name was not on it.She had called Jimmy and asked to meet. Only then did she learn that Chris was the one behind it.For a moment, Winter didn’t even know whether she felt more angry or more hopeless.What exactly was Chris trying to do?And how had he even found out she had applied for the overseas correspondent post?She had never mentioned it to him, and he had never brought it up. Or had he been keeping tabs on her all along, saying nothing only so he could crush her at the last moment?His words on the tree-lined drive at Blackwood Manor echoed in her mind, the ones he had said before getting into

Winter felt like she was trapped in a nightmare, struggling without being able to wake up.She couldn’t open her eyes, but she could feel something cold moving across her face. It was a fingertip, the pad of it slightly rough.It traced over her brows and down the bridge of her nose, then kept sliding lower like a cold snake until it came to rest on her soft lips.The finger pressed against her lower lip and gently parted it. She could feel the rough texture of his skin against her mouth.“No!”With all her strength, Winter forced her eyes open. She looked straight into his cold, unreadable eyes, and her heart went numb. “Chris...”He had both her wrists pinned above her head. Her upper body was forced upright, her chest almost pressed against his.She could feel the hard, steady beat of his heart.Winter stared at his cold face inches from hers. Mrs. Xander Sr.’s death had cut through everything between them like a knife. She had thought they would never see each other again.

By the time Winter had eaten half the bowl, she swallowed and fixed her eyes on Chris.In a low voice, he said, “He’s alive.”Winter’s heart lurched. She forced down the urge to flip the table. She knew she wasn’t going to get anything useful out of him like this, so she pulled out her phone and called William again.Still, no one answered.Winter got up and left.Chris stayed seated at the table, watching her walk out of the dining room. After a moment, he quietly set his fork down.Mrs. Young looked at the table full of food that had barely been touched, then at the two people who had gone their separate ways. For one strange moment, she almost had the illusion that Chris had simply wanted to share a meal with Winter.But the way things were between them now was just too awful.Winter couldn’t leave Blackwood Manor, and she still couldn’t get any news about William. No matter how many times she called, he never picked up.She called Zion instead, but he was still recovering

In the dark, their breathing grew louder, rising and falling together until the air between them felt tangled and heavy.In an ordinary marriage, or between two people who loved each other, a question like that would have sounded caring.But when Chris said it, there wasn’t a trace of warmth in his voice.They were not lovers.They were not even anything close to a normal married couple.A tight, suffocating feeling rose in Winter’s chest. “I wasn’t hungry.”The moment the words left her mouth, he gave a quiet hum and slipped his hand inside her shirt, pressing lightly against her stomach.The rough warmth of his fingertips brushed her skin, sending a sharp shiver through her.She grabbed his hand at once and tried to push it away.The arm around her waist tightened. His voice turned a little hoarse. “Then I’m taking you out to eat.”*Liono City’s most famous garden restaurant was hard enough to get into on a normal day. Over the New Year’s holiday, getting a table was near

Earlier that night, Skyla’s car and Chris’s were both heading toward the restaurant. But when they reached a fork in the road, her car stayed on the planned route while Chris’s turned right instead.She called him immediately. “Chris, your driver took the wrong turn.”He gave a cool hum. “There’s a car following me. Liono City hasn’t been safe lately. Go home.”Then he hung up.Skyla turned to look back at once. Sure enough, another car was tailing Chris’s, heading off in the other direction.Both cars were moving fast. Within seconds, they were gone.Dinner never happened, so Skyla had no choice but to go back to Westbury first. What she hadn’t expected was that after shaking the car behind him, Chris had gone to the garden restaurant with Winter.After hanging up on Steve in a fury, Skyla got someone to give her the garden restaurant manager’s number.As soon as he answered, she said, “This is Skyla Jasper. Did Mr. Xander have dinner at your restaurant tonight?”“Yes, Ms. Ja
