The man walking beside her smiled. "They're not looking at us, but you."
"Me? Why?" the woman said with round eyes, pausing in her steps.
"Because you are so beautiful tonight."
Gabriella's face suddenly turned stiff. Her husband's seduction was tasteless to her.
"I'm willing to come here doesn't mean I have forgiven your mistake."
Hearing that firmness, the curve of the man's lips suddenly shrunk. With a serious expression, he approached the woman's ear.
"We're in the middle of a crowd. Can't you delay your annoyance? You can beat me as much as you want when we get home."
"Is it true? I won't hesitate to put all my strength into it," the woman threatened, successfully bringing a smile back on Max's face.
"Yes," the man nodded. A se

"You're not on your period, are you?" Max sighed as he pushed his wife into a room."Are you crazy? We're on your brother's engagement party!"“There are still a few minutes before the peak event. Before that, I have to get to the climax first. I'll go crazy if I hold it in any longer."A sigh of disbelief spontaneously escaped from Gabriella's mouth. "Are you admitting that you just want my body?""I do want your body," Max said as he walked over to the pile of chairs. After putting the coat there, he turned back to his wife, unbuttoning the buttons below his neck. “But, a more appropriate sentence would be … I want whole of you.”In just an instant, the sound of muffled shrieks began to heat up the atmosphere. Gabriella quickly covered her mouth with a fist, afraid that an ear behind the door would hear.Knowing that his wife was overwhelmed, instead of slowing down, the man picked up speed.

“Good evening, distinguished guests. You must be wondering who the little girl in the video is. She is the real queen today," Amber said before smiling at her fiance.Unexpectedly, Julian also raised the corners of his lips and then invited the woman to continue talking. The two of them were clearly up to something.“We have gone to great lengths to prepare for this surprise. So, please pay close attention.”Suddenly, Gabriella's photo popped up to fill the screen. Everyone was suddenly dumbfounded before the room grew even more noisy."Right. The little girl earlier was the woman in the black dress sitting beside Mister CEO. Should I call him Julian's future sister-in-law? Tsk, I'm not sure."Gabriella's body instantly froze. All eyes were on her. Cold and cynical.Seeing his wife's hands start to shake, Max quickly grabbed them."Don't worry. No matter what they're up to, they won't be able to bring you down,&rdquo

No matter how hard Max tried to find a solution, his efforts failed. Heart and logic did not go hand in hand. He couldn't sacrifice Gabriella, but also didn't want to lose Quebracha.Unfortunately, before his brain come up with an idea, the woman had run. Shock automatically jolted the CEO's consciousness."Gaby," the man tried to catch his wife's wrist.However, Gabriella moved as fast as the wind. Max's hand only managed to reach the air.Seeing his wife's back away, the man's heart suddenly felt empty. After a sigh of resignation, he also left the room."Gaby," Max called as he almost caught up.Instead of answering, the woman continued to move towards the road. She didn't care if the man ran faster behind her back. She just wanted to go away.“Gabriella!” Max finally managed to get his wife's elbow. But a second later, the woman jerked her arm and escaped.With no other choice, Max ended up moving at full speed.

Gabriella shook her head and shoved her husband's chest. “You always call me troublesome. Now, it's time for you to let me go. You won't have any more burden if I go."“What exactly did the mastermind say, hm? Why do you change your mind like this? We have agreed to find a solution.”The woman's brows furrowed deeper.“I guess, the mastermind is right. If you stay with me, I will suffer more, especially if you lose your position and people's trust. You will not only vent your lust, but also anger on me. I don't want to endure that all."The man's chest suddenly squeezed greater disappointment. "I can't possibly do that to you," he explained with waning hope."I don't dare to take that risk," Gabriella said, looking down. She didn't want the tears to be seen by her husband. "Can you divorce me as soon as possible?"A breath of disbelief spontaneously escaped from the man's mouth. Looking up, holding back his annoyance,

Max was silent, listening to Gabriella. His hands were clenched into fists as his jaw throbbed with anger. It wasn't the words that pierced Max's heart, but the woman's tears. “Stop crying! I don't like to see it," the man said, suddenly changing the meaning of his wife's blink. Gabriella sighed in disbelief. That wasn't the response she expected. After clutching her head for a moment, she returned the man's gaze. "You still don't understand, do you? I hate you from the beginning. And now—" "Your hatred has turned into concern," Max interrupted, successfully making his wife lost for words. “But, if hate can keep you by my side, keep hating me. That way, you won't push me to divorce you." Without giving Gabriella a chance to speak, the man stepped outside with his shirt. He couldn't bear to argue any longer, worried that he might do something out of control. "Max!" the woman screamed, trying to stop her husband. However, the man

Max had tried several times to contact the interrogator. However, not a single call was answered.“Does he know that the camera has been uncovered?” Max thought as he hung up the call and put the phone on the table. Tapping his fingers, the man thought.“Could it be … his arrival was also arranged?”A faint gasp escaped from the man's mouth.“Is that why Sebastian deliberately told me about Sharp Knife? So that, I would hire him to interrogate Gaby?”After a moment of silence, Max huffed in annoyance. “What should I do if he really is the the mastermind?”Feeling his head getting heavier, the man finally got up from the chair. “I'd better take care of Gabriella first. I shouldn't have locked my wife in the bedroom like this."Without the slightest suspicion, Max returned to the room, leaving his wife's suitcase lying in the corner of his workroom."Gaby, let's—"

"Please don't lie to me. You said that just to keep me from going," Gabriella said, clenching her fists. Listening to that denial, Max's annoyance could no longer be suppressed. While gripping the woman's arm, he showed seriousness through his eyes. "I really love you. Why would I hold you back if I don't have that feeling?" Gabriella's lips trembled for a moment. "You'll definitely torture me when you lose your position." Max's breath suddenly roared again. He realized that Gabriella's head was harder than rock. Arguing was just a waste of time. "Believe it or not, you have to stay with me.” Without further ado, the man locked his wife's wrist. As Gabriella struggled, he walked briskly, leading the woman to the car. "Stop it, Max! Let me go!" "No!" the man said without looking back. His neck seemed to have stiffened, just as his jaw which was throbbing. Unbeknownst to Max, the woman behind his back was limping.

“Honestly, I started to get suspicious when he called me Gaby. It's weird when someone who isn't very familiar uses that name,” Gabriella said before shaking her head faintly. "But that's just based on my feelings."The eyes of the man watching immediately narrowed. "Is there anything else?"The woman nodded. “He's been asking about your secret project too many times, as if something was urging him to know right away.”"Besides?"Gabriella's brows furrowed even deeper. “The mastermind said that we had met face to face several times. The only man who fulfills that condition is Sebastian.”"What about Julian? Haven't you two met before?""Before I received the call, we had only met twice. And I'm sure it's not him."A faint sigh escaped from Max's mouth. "Why do you suspect Sebastian instead of Julian?"“Because the mastermind sounds like a womanizer. Your brother is not that kind of man,

"Whoa!" Cayden sighed as his father placed him on the back of a pony. With round eyes, he surveyed his height from the ground. Even though it was not much, the toddler in the cowboy hat still showed a happy smile. “How is it, Little Evans? Are you happy?” the woman who held the horse's rein asked. Not daring to move much, Cayden nodded at a limited angle. "Yes, Greta. I am happy. It's thrilling!” he answered enthusiastically. “Thrilling?” Gabriella muttered, furrowing an eyebrow. While continuing to rock her niece, the woman expressed astonishment. “Where did you learn that word, Little Prince?” "Daddy often mentions it," the toddler replied, successfully making his father wince. "Daddy said that the nights spent with Mom were always thrilling." As Gabriella glared at her husband, Greta burst out laughing. "Gosh, Max. I think you should be more careful now. Your genius son can absorb all the words you speak.” "Right. I'll be more caref

"If you kept avoiding me, I would really quit the company," Julian said, successfully freezing Mr. Hunt's steps. The old man was then blinking, digesting the words he thought he heard wrong. “Actually, my position as a CEO is being threatened for some reasons. I tried to keep it a secret from all of you. I didn't even let Mia know. But as it turned out, it wasn't easy at all. My mind became adrift. And because the burden was too heavy, my emotions finally exploded. I'm so sorry it had to happen in front of you." Hearing the tone that seemed honest, Mr. Hunt slowly turned his focus. Two seconds later, he saw the tears slide from the grandson's eyes. "I've tried to be strong and tough, Grandpa. I thought I could solve all problems. But it turns out, I haven’t found any solution yet. That's why I was angry when I failed to find Grace and you at the cemetery. It got me think that I am a useless man," Julian explained with the gloomy eyes landed on the grass.

“Tsk, why does Grandpa run away like this? It just makes me feel even guiltier,” Julian grumbled between gasping breaths. Holding on to Mr. Hunt's message, he walked down the tree-lined path. “What should I do if Grandpa isn't there? Where should I look for him?” the man thought as he couldn't erase the wrinkles from his face. The burden in his heart was too heavy to ignore. After a few moments of struggling with the noise in his brain, Julian finally shook his head and blinked strongly. "No, no. Grandpa must be there. I'll take him home and things will automatically return to the way they were before," the man nodded, fostering hope. Ignoring the anxiety that kept swirling in his mind, he went faster. Unfortunately, as soon as Julian passed the cemetery gates, his steps were frozen. His jaw was dropping while his eyelids were lifted to the maximum. What he had hoped for quickly turned into disappointment. "No way! This is impossible!” he curs

"Dad," Cayden called quietly. A second later, the toddler handed Max a piece of bread that had been cleaned of jam. "I'm already full," he continued with a meaningful smile.Understanding the son's intentions, Max spontaneously raised an eyebrow. "Do you want me to finish your bread again?"While showing two rows of tiny teeth, Cayden nodded. After a faint exhalation, the father began to vibrate the air with laughter."Gaby, look at what Little Prince did! I can get fat if he keeps handing me food,” the man said while showing the second bread he received from his son.“Just eat it, Max. You need more energy to help the Little Prince take care of Hasty,” the woman who was cleaning the dishes with a sponge replied.Hearing his mother's response, Cayden's eyes immediately widened. His energy had just risen to the peak. “I've finished breakfast, Mom. Can I go to the stable now?”"Yes, but you have to wash your face

Suddenly, Julian dropped his face into his hands. After exhaling heavily, he lifted his head again and put on an indescribable expression."I didn't mean to scare anyone, Mia. I just don't want Grandpa’s mistake to happen again," the man said with frown on his face."Yes, I know," Mia replied with the same thin voice. “But you can do it without hurting Grandpa's feelings, Julian. This matter can be discussed amicably.”While gritting his teeth, Julian shook his head. Confusion had returned to cover his eyes. “What should I do now? I already made Grandpa sad.""Apologize?" Mia answered with a grimace."Is that enough?" the man asked doubtfully. He began to realize that his anger had indeed crossed the line.Pondering, the woman nodded. “As long as it's sincere, Grandpa will definitely forgive you. And I think, you should also explain to Cayden that what you did was wrong. Don't let your nephew imitate something t

“Greta, have you prepared delicious toast for us?” Cayden asked as the hostess opened the door wider to welcome him. Seeing her father was still able to walk, the woman with high arch of the brows spontaneously sighed in relief. After shaking her head for a moment, she turned her gaze to the toddler who was still holding Mr. Hunt's hand and waiting for her response. "Of course I have. There is also strawberry jam for you. Are you hungry?” Greta asked while faking a smile. “Not me, but Grandpa. I heard the sound of his breathing all the way. Grandpa is very tired! He should eat a lot of bread," Cayden said with his trademark expression—round eyes and pursed lips. While stroking her son's head, Gabriella bent her knees. After leveling their eyes, the woman tilted her head. "You know where Greta put the plate of bread, don't you?" No more than two seconds, the toddler nodded. "Yes. On the dining table," he answered with a big smile. "That

"Sorry, Julian. I took Grace to see your grandmother for a while. Now, I intend to take her home. We're not wandering around or straying like you said," Mister Hunt explained with an indescribable expression. Even so, his hoarse voice was able to touch the hearts of the listeners, apart from his grandson. "But the way home is over there, Grandpa!" Julian snapped, still with eyebrows raised to the max. The young man didn't feel sorry at all for the hunched back that was getting weighed down by guilt. "I really can’t understand what’s on your mind. Don't you realize that your recklessness can lead to trouble? Didn't we agree to go together? Why did you secretly take Grace away?” he continued, thickening the wrinkles on his grandfather's forehead. Sensing her father's anger, Little Princess began to furrow her brows. The baby had never heard such a loud voice. When her eyes fell on Mr. Hunt's gloomy face, she spontaneously pouted. A second later, her heavy cry b

Arriving at the cemetery, Julian was taken aback. What he saw was completely beyond expectation. There were no old man and baby among the tombstones. The grandfather and Grace left absolutely no trace. "This is impossible," Julian muttered as he quickened his pace. Neglecting his initial attempt to remain calm, the man sped toward the direction Greta had given. After searching for a while, he finally found the grandmother's name on one of the stones. “Right, this is the place. They should be here," Julian sighed, sounding desperate. With deep furrows, he circled around, trying to find any trace of either his daughter or Grandpa Hunt. Unfortunately, as far as the eye could see, the two remained off the radar. Confusion instantly grew bigger in Julian’s mind. "Tsk, how could it be like this?" he grumbled while clutching his head. Knowing that irritation, Mia gently touched her husband's arm. She knew that the man had failed to control hi
CEO's Love in Trap Extra Chapter| 12. Grandpa and Grace
Carefully, Mr. Hunt wiped his great-granddaughter's cheek. Grace's red eyes no longer shed sadness. However, the old man still felt guilty for making the baby cry. "I'm sorry, Grace. I should have walked more calmly so you wouldn't wake up," he whispered in between his ragged breaths. After her face had been dry, Grace rested her head on Mister Hunt's shoulder. Blinking slowly, she pursed her lips. The furrow of her tiny brows indicated that she still wanted to roll up in the blanket on the crib. The baby wondered why she was with her great-grandfather, sitting on a long bench at the edge of a path. “When I was young, I only need fifteen minutes to arrive at your great-grandmother's grave. But now, why does it feel so long and tiring?” Mr. Hunt grumbled as he wiped his forehead with one hand. After one quick breath, the old man stood up again and held Grace in his languid arms. Although the baby was a bit heavy, his lips still curled up warmly.
