Semua Bab Mr. Sterling, Your Ex-wife is a Famous CEO : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Adrian ran a hand through his hair, shoulders slumping, his gaze fixed on the floor of the van as if looking away could make the guilt disappear.“I’m sorry, Arabella.” he said, voice breaking slightly. His throat tightened, and he swallowed hard before continuing. “I fucked up big time. I ruined us.” His hands clenched at his sides, “I regret it…every day since you left.” “I don't deserve you,” He looked up, “I know. But I am going to make sure I become worthy of your second chance.” Arabella just scoffed, wiping the tears off her face. As painful as his lies were, at least Axel got to have his first travel with her. She closed her eyes, wrapping a hand around Axel's tiny body as he leaned in her. “I wanted to…”“Shh! Axel is sleeping. Don't work him up.” Silence overwhelmed the van once again, this time a heavy weight settled over both their hearts.About forty minutes later, they arrived at Hills & Valleys, a luxurious private resort nestled among snow-dusted pines. Sunlig

Arabella felt her hand heavy, but still, she let go. She moved back to sit with Axel, forcing a smile she didn't quite feel.“What are you doing?” She asked, looking into Axel's phone, “Why don't we decide what we are going to do tomorrow. Axel nodded, a smile spreading on his lips as Arabella drew out her phone to look into exciting events to do. Adrian’s hand rested on the bandage, but his eyes were still on Arabella. Even he could see the crack in her walls.But he wasn't as excited as he should have been. Instead, he felt horrible for making her have to constantly remind herself he was the enemy. Still he didn't want to give up. Axel and Arabella spent time into the night looking into pictures of places to visit and finally setting on two places for tomorrow.Red Rocks. Denver Zoo. Axel was pumped. He didn't feel sleepy at all after sleeping all afternoon, but they had to leave early the next day, so had to sleep on time. Adrian thought about the danger that might be lu

“I woke up to that note on the top of my car dashboard after the crash.” Ashley explained, subconsciously touching the bandage on her forehead. Fortunately, they hadn't been brutal. Just a slight bump that left her unconscious for a few hours. Maybe because they saw she was so young? “My parents threatened to disown me if I don't drop the case, plus I also thought it was a good way to take their eyes off of me, so I dropped it.” Until now, Adrian wasn't entirely sure whether they were talking about the same Isabella Greene, but seeing how her case had been heavily sabotaged, he started to feel they might just be the same person. “Hope you are doing well now? Nothing critical, right.” Adrian showed his concern. “Yeah. Just a cut and a concussion. I'm all better.” Adrian adjusted, “So about this Ms. Isabella Greene, do you have any pictures of her? I need to be sure we are talking about the same person.” “So, you won't help if we are not talking about the same person.” “Yeah—

Ivan gently let go of Adrian's fingers, forcing a smile. “Nothing serious.” He lied, “Just silly men’s talk.” Arabella crossed her arm over her chest. There is no such thing as silly men’s talk. Something was up between and now, she doubted the excuse they gave at the airport. "Actually it's not silly talk." Adrian finally spoke, not even trying to hide his rage. Arabella became more attentive. Finally someone was going to spill. "I know you both are not in a real relationship. That kiss that went viral…" He paused, eyes hard. "It was just a PR stunt." Arabella stood back, pulling at a strand of her hair nervously. She had no idea this conversation was going to go this way. Ivan stood back with tight jaws. “I also know he likes you.” Adrian went on with a straight face, “I’m just letting him know, I’m not going to just sit back and watch.” Arabella was at a loss for words. She was tired of seeing him act like an obsessed fool. And now, the m

Arabella gasped.“T–this is beautiful.” She couldn't even hide her excitement if she wanted to. It was written all over her face. Adrian truly outdid himself this time.“When did you prepare all this?” Adrian gestured her forward. She leaned in. Adrian leaned close. And whispered, “It's a secret.” Arabella let out a small laugh. Axel tugged at Adrian's sleeve, pulling them apart as he raised his tablet and showed them. “I'm starving. Can we eat now?” “Of course.” Arabella chuckled seeing Axel salivating at the carefully arranged spread of dishes steaming gently in the cool night air.“We can eat now.” She quickly grabbed a plate and attempted to serve, but Adrian stopped her. "Tonight, I'll be your butler.”He picked up a plate.Served Axel first.A small portion of grilled salmon. A scoop of creamy pasta. He added a piece of butter-roasted chicken, then paused to cut it into smaller pieces.“Careful,” he said, sliding the plate toward him. “It’s still hot.”Axel nodded,
