Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 561 - チャプター 570

Ex-boyfriend.They had dated. That much was true.On that little island in Crescent Lake, Chris had shut out everything he didn’t want to face. It was almost as if he had become someone else.For one month, he had ignored his hatred, hidden the truth about what had driven her parents to their deaths, and let himself fall completely in love with her.He had stolen that month for himself.It had been selfish and despicable.Still, as frustrating as the label was, at least it was one Winter had acknowledged.Gavin knocked and entered the office.Chris was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking. Much of the glass was covered with Poppy Pig stickers.After two in the afternoon, the sky had gradually darkened. It looked as though it might snow again.Richie had been born on a snowy day, and he loved snow.If it snowed on his birthday tomorrow, he would probably be thrilled.Chris tapped the ash from his cigarette.He had already forced the irritation from the phone cal

Sean immediately felt like he shouldn’t have bothered asking.William’s mind, heart, and attention had always revolved around Winter anyway.When Sean reached for the glass of water on the coffee table, William spoke up.“That’s cold. Don’t drink it.”He turned toward one of the staff.“Bring him another glass of warm water.”When Sean coughed again, William straightened from where he had been leaning against the doorframe.“If you don’t feel well, get some rest. I’ve spent the past few months learning more about finance and how to run the company. I’m officially starting work the day after tomorrow.”He paused.“I can take some of the load off you. Maybe then you won’t have to worry about me so much either.”When the fresh glass of water arrived, William held his breath, strode into the room, set it down on the coffee table, and immediately turned to leave.He had almost reached the door when Sean spoke behind him.“You haven’t given me much to worry about.”He meant it.

Richie had no idea what Winter was talking about, but he caught one word he recognized.“Cook!” he chirped.Chris gently wrapped his hand around Richie’s little fist, the faintest smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.It was hard to tell whether Richie had amused him or Winter had.General wagged his tail and walked over to Winter.He sniffed the bowl of noodles she had just made, as if checking whether they were actually safe to eat.Winter suddenly remembered what had happened all those years ago.She couldn’t believe he still remembered.Now she finally understood why General had rushed outside the moment he heard Chris’s car pull in.General was no ordinary dog.He had spent years around Chris’s grandfather’s military compound, and both Chris and Gavin had trained him personally.He was smarter and more alert than most police dogs.He had gone to get backup.Winter stared at his bright, serious eyes in disbelief.“Wow. So little faith in me.”She sighed dramatica

Winter quickly kissed Richie on the cheek and was about to pull back when he started squirming in Chris’s arms again.He pouted.“Kiss together!”A few steps away, Gavin quietly backed away from the top of the stairs.He decided he had never come upstairs in the first place and retreated without a word.A flicker of panic crossed Winter’s eyes.What did Richie mean by “kiss together”?Did he want her and Chris to kiss both his cheeks at the same time?Or did he mean he wanted Mommy and Daddy to kiss each other?When she was pregnant with Richie, Winter had promised herself she would never be the kind of mother who ruined every little moment for her child.She wasn’t going to spoil him without limits, but whenever she reasonably could, she wanted to indulge him.Especially today.This was his first real birthday with her.She already wanted to give him everything. What was one small request?Looking at the anticipation in Richie’s eyes, Winter found herself secretly hoping

After greeting Olivia, Richie called out to Dr. Lucas, Dr. Lopez, Dr. Miller, and Nurse Carol too.“Baby birthday!”He looked up at each of them and greeted them one by one in his sweet little voice.Winter pushed aside the strange feeling she had about Olivia.People looked alike sometimes. Maybe she had simply seen someone who resembled her before.She walked over to the medical team.Of course they belonged at Richie’s birthday.Without their careful treatment and all the adjustments they had made to his care over time, there was no telling whether Richie would be as healthy as he was now.Dr. Lucas, as his primary doctor, had poured himself into Richie’s treatment. The stress had even left him with a few bald patches.Nurse Carol was still young, but she had spent so much time learning how to care for Richie that she was probably more experienced with him than most professional nannies.Even before Richie’s bone marrow transplant, when Olivia had been overseas working on
