All Chapters of When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Serena’s Point of View“Tech Girl.”I stopped pouring coffee into my mug and turned my head.Noah walked into the break room with his usual cheerful grin.However, seeing him now immediately reminded me of the cemetery.Of the Noah who had looked like a completely different person from this cheerful, almost childish man in front of me.The Noah who punched Rowen with his eyes turned icy cold.The Noah who asked my permission to sit beside me.Noah who said Theo would have been a pretty, cute baby with large brown eyes.I took a deep breath and smiled at him.“Hey.”“That's all I get?”I raised an eyebrow.“What more should I say?”“I don't know. Maybe a little more enthusiasm after I made myself a hero in front of you.”He grinned.I rolled my eyes.Here he was.The Noah I knew.I turned completely toward him.“Actually, Noah, I wanted to talk to you.”“Hmm…”“My lawyer said you came today to give your statement about what happened at the cemetery.”“Oh.”“Thank you so much.”He shrug

Serena’s Point of View“When you walk out of here today, you’ll be free.”I looked at Adrian.We were standing just in front of the courthouse. My lawyer, Marcus Whitfield, was a few steps ahead of us, talking to someone.I took a slow breath.“Yes, I’ll be free.”Until last night, I had been uncertain about the outcome of today’s hearing. I was afraid to have high hopes.But Adrian…He had somehow managed to make me feel certain.Made me hope again.I smiled at him, and he smiled back.A rare, bright smile.Marcus opened the door and turned to us.“It’s time.”Adrian looked at me.“Ready?”I nodded.“Ready.”We walked inside together.I sat beside my lawyer while Adrian took the seat behind us.My hands felt colder despite the warmth in the room.I clasped them together on my lap.And suddenly, warmth wrapped around them.My gaze fell to Adrian’s hand covering mine.I raised my head and looked at him.He simply smiled.But that smile said everything that needed to be said.A moment l

Adrian's Point Of viewI stared at her face for a moment and then continued to talk.“And slowly, I began to understand that I was still capable of having emotions.”A faint smile touched my lips.“Unfortunately, I had been an emotionless man for so long that I couldn’t even understand half of the feelings I began to have.”Right then, my phone rang.I glanced at the phone lying on the coffee table.Watson.There was no way Watson was calling me for nothing.Still, I didn’t want to stop our conversation now.Serena looked at the phone.“Shouldn’t you answer?”“No.”I turned back to her.“I have to tell you everything first…”She nodded lightly.“Sometimes you asked me if I was jealous. I didn’t admit it.”Her eyebrows rose.“I honestly didn’t think I was even capable of feeling something like jealousy. I thought I was just worried about you. That I simply didn’t trust the intentions of the men around you.”I paused.“I hated it when another man got close to you. When they flirted with

Serena’s Point of ViewFor a moment, Adrian was completely still, his eyes simply staring at me.My heart began to race.Is he going to say no?Was it a bad decision to say something like that when he was utterly exhausted and dealing with such a serious issue at the company?Before I could retreat any further into those thoughts, Adrian’s hand gently cupped my cheek, making me look directly into his eyes.“Angel… do you even know what you’re telling me right now?”I took a deep breath.“I know exactly what I’m saying, Adrian.”“Are you sure you want this?”I nodded.“Yes.”His eyes remained on mine.“Not because of anything else, but purely because…”He took a deep breath.“Because you want me.”“Yes. Just because I want you, Adrian. Nothing else.”That was all he needed.His mouth found mine.The kiss was slow at first, almost careful.But I didn’t want us to be careful tonight.I wanted him to forget everything else and just focus on me.My arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him

Serena’s Point of ViewThe first thing I did after waking up the next morning was send Adrian a message.How are you? I hope everything is going alright.Then I got ready for work.By the time I reached the office, there was still no reply.And he hadn't answered the call I'd made before reaching the office either.Yesterday, I had somehow convinced myself that he was simply busy.But today, that excuse wasn't working anymore.This was the man who had left a very important conference because I didn't answer his calls.He was the man who always found at least a few seconds to send me a text, no matter what kind of business deal he was in the middle of.So if, after two days, he was still too busy to find five seconds to send me a simple I'm okay, I knew something had to be terribly wrong.There was no way this was simply an issue with an investment.Maybe it was more about the danger of losing the company's credibility, like he had explained that night.But Adrian was a man who always
