บททั้งหมดของ When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me: บทที่ 141 - บทที่ 150

Adrian's Point of View“Here you are.”I looked up.Serena stood in front of me with a small pile of clothes in her hands.I recognized them immediately.A T-shirt and sweatpants I'd left here the last time I'd stayed with her.I'd almost forgotten about them, but for some reason, seeing them still in her apartment did something strange to my heart.She could have simply packed them into a bag and given them back to me.But she hadn't.She had kept them in her own closet.As if I was also part of her home.“Thanks.”I took them from her.“You can shower first,” she said. “I'll go after you.”I nodded and headed toward the bathroom.Tonight had been fucking exhausting.Not physically.Emotionally.I had sat in meetings literally all day, dealing with millions of euros, arguing and negotiating with people more cunning than foxes, making decisions that affected hundreds of employees.But I hadn't felt this exhausted.I stood under the shower, letting the hot water run over me.It helped.

Serena's Point of View“Serena?”Noah gently patted me on the shoulder.“Huh?” I blinked.“I've been calling your name. What world did you get lost in?”Your jealous big brother's world, I thought quietly.“Sorry. What did you say?” I asked, putting on a smile.Noah narrowed his eyes at me.“Were you even listening?”“Of course I was.”“Liar.”I laughed.“Okay... okay... Maybe I got distracted for a second. I apologize.”“What were you saying?”He frowned at me for a second, but then began to talk.“I was saying we need to celebrate.”“And I was saying we already did.”“Fine.” He shrugged. “Then we'll celebrate something else.”“Like what?”His grin immediately returned, even wider this time.“It's a secret.”“A secret?” My eyebrow rose.“Yes. But you'll know soon.”He pointed a finger at me, the expression in his eyes growing serious.“And don't say no when you get the invitation, okay?”I stared at him suspiciously.“Invitation?”“Yeah. Wait for it.”“What big secret needs an invita

Adrian's Point of ViewSerena didn't say much since we left the courthouse.Neither did I.I knew what she was feeling.She had so much hope for today.She believed she was finally going to get her freedom today.But that asshole had found another way to keep her tied to him.For a few more weeks, at least.I glanced at her as I drove.She was leaning back against the seat, resting her head and looking out the window.I didn't want to ask if she was okay.I knew she wasn't.And making her talk about it wasn't going to make her feel better.A few minutes later, she turned to me. Maybe she sensed the familiar road ahead of us.“Are we going to Uncle Wang's?”“Yes.”“Why?”“Because we haven't had lunch, and Uncle Wang said he hasn't seen you for a long time.”“Oh...”A few minutes later, I stopped the car in front of the small restaurant.Uncle Wang looked delighted when we walked in.I knew he was always delighted to see me, but right now, that wide smile was obviously for Serena.“Ther

Adrian's Point of ViewEven after going to the office, I couldn't stop worrying.I had canceled my entire schedule yesterday to be with her, so there was a hell of a lot of work for me to do. I managed to finish some of it by staying awake most of last night.But there was still so much to do.Yet, here I was, sending her a text every half an hour to check on her and thinking about her whenever I wasn't.I let out a sigh, leaning back in my chair.I had been trying to read the contents of the file in front of me for a good twenty minutes now, but I still couldn't fully grasp any of it.Finally, I understood that trying to work like this with half my usual efficiency was pointless.It would be better to go see her myself and then come back to work.Maybe that way, I would be able to focus better.And check on her too.I had been keeping a little distance from Serena lately.Because of Noah.But today, I didn't actually care.Before I even reached their workspace, I saw that the door wa

Adrian's Point of ViewI didn't know seeing someone else happy could make me this happy too.However, since meeting Serena, I was slowly learning it.I had been watching her for most of the evening.Not always.At least, I hoped it wasn't obvious enough to look like I was always watching her.But I couldn't help it at all.My eyes would find her every few minutes.And every time they did, she was smiling.Laughing.Eating.Making jokes with her team.At one point, Becky even dragged her toward the dance floor with a few others. Serena tried to refuse at first, shaking her head and laughing while Becky pulled her by the hand.But five minutes later, there she was, dancing with her friends.Nothing dramatic.Just following the music, laughing whenever one of her teammates said or did something ridiculous.But she looked happy.Happier than I'd seen her in a long time.And that was exactly what I'd expected from this night.There had been one moment when I'd almost regretted bringing her
