All Chapters of When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Adrian’s Point of View“And I’ll be there, so you don’t have to face it alone...”She had said it so casually, but she had no idea what those words made me feel.I had already left her apartment after finishing dinner and spending some more time chatting with her about random things.Now I was sitting in my car outside her building, but I still couldn’t turn on the engine and drive away.I couldn’t even wait until I got home.I wanted to think...Think silently about every word she had said, one by one.Because my whole life, what people had told me was the complete opposite.I was just ten years old when everyone expected me to learn to live without a mother.Without even telling me how I was supposed to face the reality of losing the person I loved most.I was just twelve, not even a teenager, when my father sent me to a boarding school, saying I needed to learn to handle everything alone.It might not have hurt that much if I hadn’t known the real reason I was sent away.The real r

Adrian’s Point of ViewDid she just kiss me?I stood completely still in the middle of the corridor, my hand slowly rising to my cheek.To where the warmth of those lips still lingered.Did Serena actually kiss me on the cheek?Or had I just imagined the whole thing?I looked toward the end of the corridor.She was nowhere to be seen.She had simply stood on her toes, whispered two words against my ear...This good.And kissed my cheek.Then walked away as if she had done nothing.As if she hadn't just completely destroyed my ability to think.My fingers rubbed over the spot again.My heart was beating ridiculously fast.Over a kiss.Not even on the lips.A tiny kiss on my cheek that hadn't even lasted more than a second.I closed my eyes.And immediately regretted it.Because the moment my eyes were closed, the scene replayed so vividly in my mind.Serena taking that step closer to me.Her rising to my height, standing on her toes.Her face moving closer to mine.Her warm breath agai

Serena's Point of ViewFor a moment, I really didn't know what to say.It was the first time anyone had kissed me at all.The words echoed in my mind.We were standing so close to each other.He was staring at me as if he were bracing himself for whatever I might say next.The first question that came to my mind was...How was it the first time someone kissed you? What about those women you told me about?But right then, memories of the past flashed through my mind.Toward the end of our marriage, there had been nights when Rowen and I slept in the same bed.Him on one side.Me on the other.Not touching each other at all.Like two strangers...Even on those rare nights when he came home a little earlier and wanted to have sex, that was all it was.Sex.He didn't kiss me.There was no tenderness.No affection.It had taken me far too long to realize that, by then, it was nothing more than a physical connection for him.He had already lost his emotional attachment to me.And maybe, for

Adrian’s Point of View“How do you know that I went there after receiving a message?”I didn't answer.Not because I didn't want to.Because I genuinely didn't know what I should say.Serena slowly pulled her hand from mine.The loss of her warmth was immediate.And terrifying.“Adrian?”She didn't sound angry.But something in her voice made my heart ache anyway.I slowly lifted my head to look at her.She was looking at me too.It was almost as if she were trying to read the answers she needed from my expression.“How do you know the room number?”There was no point in lying.I didn't want to lie in the first place.But somehow, I had simply kept that part of our history hidden.I took a deep breath before I started speaking.“I knew they were in that room.”Her eyebrows pulled together.“Rowen and Michela.”She went completely still.“I knew you went there after seeing a message you received.”Her lips parted slightly.“The messages...” I said slowly.“The anonymous messages.”Her

Adrian's Point of ViewIt took me a moment to recover from her words.And to put together all the pieces of my shattered heart.Wasn't this the exact reason I'd kept all of this hidden from her until now?Because I'd been afraid of the possibility that she would feel this way.And somehow, that was precisely what had happened.However, I wasn't ready to give up.I let out a breath and reached for her hand again.This time, without thinking too much, I held it anyway.“Serena...”I took a breath.“Back then... I only knew your name. That was it. But from the moment I left that hospital, I wanted to find you. "I tightened my fingers around hers.“Not to fucking repay you. I wasn't some rich lunatic who thought everything could be settled with money.”“I just wanted to see you.”My voice lowered.“To look into your eyes and tell you that no one had ever gone to that extent to save me.”“Then why...”“You may not remember my face. It was covered in blood and wounds anyway. But I remember
