Married to the CEO by Mistaken Love Chapter 23: This Man's Behavior Today Is Very Strange
Edwin's office had a dedicated rest area and a bathroom. Cecily shivered, allowing Edwin to clean her up."It's so cold," she weakly said. Edwin glanced at her and quickly finished his task. He wrapped her in a soft, large towel and carried her to the rest area. Cecily was barely conscious. Her body warmed up, but she was exhausted, and her eyes were barely open.Sandy, who had been called in by Edwin, watched Cecily's absence with anxiety. She assumed Cecily must be in the rest area. She noticed scattered clothes on the floor, quickly averted her gaze, and heard Edwin's cold voice, "Get her a set of clothes and some ointment for the abrasions.""Understood," Sandy replied, knowing without asking what kind of ointment was needed. As a senior secretary, she understood the importance of comprehending her boss's wishes. She quickly gathered Cecily's torn clothes from the floor and left the room.Edwin returned to his desk and examined some documents. His mind was in turmoil, and he unbut

Slowly, Cecily leaned against Edwin without disturbing others and softly asked, "Edwin, if one day I were to die, would you be sad?"Edwin furrowed his brow and gave her a single word: "Childish." It wasn't clear whether he meant she was naive to be so affected by the music, or if he found her question childish.Cecily didn't retort. She smiled and continued to listen to the music. In a low voice, she said, "You're right. We aren't lovers. If I die, I'll be released, and so will you." She didn't look at Edwin's reaction and just focused on the music.Edwin's gaze traced her face, profound and inscrutable. It was unclear what was going through his mind.The concert ended, and it was now past ten in the evening. Their car was still at the restaurant. Initially, Edwin was about to call the driver, but Cecily suggested, "Let's take a taxi. It's late, and people need their rest."For a rare occurrence, Edwin nodded, not ignoring her but rather accepting her suggestion. Cecily was surprised

As Edwin had finished shaving and was about to leave, Cecily suddenly blurted out, "Wait."Edwin halted and turned to her with a quizzical expression. Cecily continued, "When can you find some time for us to go to the hospital? These days aren't in the safe period, which is perfect for it.""I'm not going," Edwin replied icily."But this is the best approach," Cecily said, hesitating to continue as Edwin's face had turned unapproachable. "Archie mentioned it's the method with the highest probability of pregnancy.""What? Are you questioning my abilities compared to artificial methods?" Edwin snapped with a hint of anger.Cecily shook her head, and Edwin responded with a cold smirk. He grabbed the towel that was loosely hanging around his waist and headed out.Cecily slumped down, her eyes empty. What did Edwin want? If they went for artificial insemination, how would she explain her child's origin in the future? Would their child be considered a product of science? She decided to let
Married to the CEO by Mistaken Love Chapter 26: Angry Because She Was with Another Man
Cecily initially thought that Terence was joking when he mentioned treating her, but it wasn't until later when everyone was leaving, and he approached her, suggesting they have dinner together, that she realized he was serious.Thankfully, the others had already left. Otherwise, Cecily knew that with women's propensity for gossip, it would have been an awkward situation."Cecily, go ahead. You rarely get to meet new friends," Teresa encouraged her before Cecily could respond. Glancing at Terence, who was still waiting, she realized she had no choice but to accept his invitation. What option did she have?"Terence, come back early; your father misses you," Mrs. Harris instructed. Terence nodded, and Cecily inadvertently noticed Diane, standing beside Mrs. Harris. Diane's eyes appeared dark, and she was biting her lip, looking very uncomfortable. Cecily couldn't understand why she would react this way, but she was soon urged by Terence to leave."Your husband seems to be a good man," T
Married to the CEO by Mistaken Love Chapter 27: Giving Gifts
When Colin took Cecily to a luxury clothing store under the Turner Group's umbrella, Cecily looked puzzled. "Colin, didn't you say you have too much money and nowhere to spend it? So, why are we here? As far as I know, we don't have to pay at our family's store.""Cecily, I want to spend money elsewhere, but you know that Turner Group's fashion business is top-notch in the whole city, even globally. I can't appreciate what the others have to offer. What do you think?" Colin said with approval.Cecily nodded in agreement. Although all four major families and even some smaller businesses were involved in the fashion industry, she had to admit that Turner Group was the undisputed leader.Once inside, a salesperson approached them. The young lady was even flirting with Colin, which Cecily pretended not to notice, thinking, "Maybe Colin already has a girlfriend."Colin's way of handling things was different from Edwin's. If it were Edwin in this situation, the surrounding atmosphere would

Cecily remained silent, turning her cheek away. Edwin took another step closer, and their bodies were almost touching. Cecily frowned as her waist pressed against the railing, causing her discomfort. She extended her hand to push Edwin away, but he remained unyielding.Edwin pinched her chin and asked, "Colin? Or is it Terence?"Cecily responded, "Why do you care who I give it to?" Annoying Edwin, her chin throbbed in pain, and he showed no sign of being considerate."Oh, I can stop caring," Edwin said, releasing her chin. To Cecily's surprise, he continued, "Once we're divorced, I won't be able to care about you anymore. But for now..." Cecily's eyes widened suddenly as Edwin's hand moved to her chest. In a husky tone, he continued, "We're not divorced yet, and marital relations are still necessary. I think the balcony is a suitable place, don't you?"Cecily involuntarily glanced downward. She realized that everyone in the yard could see her and Edwin as well."What do you want?" She

Listening to the conversation between the two men, Mort shook his head in helplessness. He wondered if Cecily had offended someone to make Edwin treat her this way."Why are you so late?" Edwin changed the subject, avoiding further discussion of Cecily."During this time, someone was tracking me. Be careful too. Nathan Parker is making significant moves, and Terence Harris is back in City A," Simon's demeanor shifted from the earlier light-heartedness to a more serious tone.Edwin paused, thinking of Terence and that night when Terence had smirked at him outside his own home. A cold smile crossed his face. "I'd like to see what they're planning this time."Simon raised an eyebrow lazily and said, "Maybe Nathan is here for Pamela? After all, he despises the Parker family so much."Edwin looked at him and said, "Then it depends on whether he's capable of it."Simon smiled and met Edwin's gaze. "Nathan's grudge against the Parkers is over a minor matter, Edwin. You shouldn't do anything
Married to the CEO by Mistaken Love Chapter 30: I Don't Want to Love You Anymore
Sadie and Gavin were in a passionate embrace for quite some time downstairs, and Sadie, who usually had a poised and aloof demeanor, was now acting like a sweet and affectionate girlfriend. Cecily was taken aback by the scene. Was this the same woman she knew? It seemed that women in love, even the shrewd Sadie, became somewhat foolish.Once Sadie bid farewell to Gavin and saw Cecily's surprised expression, she felt a bit flustered. "Cecily, what are you doing here?" she asked.Cecily stood straight, pretending to be serious. "If I hadn't come early, how would I witness such a splendid display of affection?"Sadie's face turned red. "Cecily, you've become mischievous."Cecily rubbed her chin. "Oh, really? I wasn't aware." She couldn't help but notice Sadie's shy demeanor, which was quite cute compared to her usual self.Pretending to hit Cecily, Sadie said, "You're being naughty."Cecily skillfully evaded the playful hit, and the two friends engaged in some banter as they made their w

In the room, Archie thoroughly examined Cecily, gave her an injection, and then turned to Edwin. Despite his usual calm and composed demeanor, Archie understood that Edwin was genuinely concerned about the woman lying in bed. Otherwise, he would have relied on his family's personal physician and not sought Archie's help."She doesn't have any major issues, just a bad cold from getting chilled and being generally weak. She should recover with proper rest," Archie explained."Okay," Edwin replied, walking over to Cecily's side. She was already asleep, so he tucked her in and then joined Archie downstairs.Ralph and Teresa had been waiting anxiously, and when Archie explained the situation, they finally felt relieved."Let's talk outside," Edwin suggested as he walked out first.In the garden, the roses were in full bloom, displaying their vibrant colors, but both men were too preoccupied to appreciate them."It seems like you're really serious about this," Archie spoke calmly.Edwin nod
Married to the CEO by Mistaken Love Chapter 35: His Transformation
In Cecily's presence, Edwin experienced a feeling he had never felt before, not even with Pamela. Despite everything she had done wrong, he no longer felt any anger. It seemed like everything that had happened was in the past.At this moment, as he gently touched Cecily's cheek, he felt a sensation akin to breaking through ice, a rush of warmth flooding into his heart.In the past, he couldn't stand the woman who was constantly trying to marry him by any means possible. But now, at this very moment, he wanted to look at her, to see her properly, even if it was only for a moment.When he saw her with Terence, he felt uncomfortable and even angry. He wished Terence would never appear again. When he saw her getting close to Colin, it also made him uneasy. He didn't want them to be together.Back when he hadn't fallen in love with Cecily, he wouldn't have cared about who she was with, even after learning about Colin's feelings for her.That day, when he heard her talking to Mort, he becam

"Why? Did something happen to Cecily?" Archie's immediate reaction was concern for Cecily. "She's fine," Edwin replied, but his mind returned to the woman he had met earlier, the one who had called him a "reproductive animal." He had been somewhat irritated at the time, but now, he couldn't seem to muster any anger. In fact, he found himself thinking of her. "So why give her up? Why look for someone new?" Archie was growing drowsy, likely nearing bedtime, and his thoughts were muddled. "Just do as I say," Edwin replied without offering an explanation. "Are you ordering me?" Archie joked, trying to make light of the situation. He found it all quite incredulous, and his drowsiness had vanished. Edwin looked at him. "You can interpret it that way." Archie hesitated for a moment before he asked, "Are you in love with her, by any chance?" He couldn't believe it, but it was the only reason he could fathom for Edwin's change in plans. There was another long pause. The room became eeril
Married to the CEO by Mistaken Love Chapter 33: Her Face Often Comes to Mind
In the hospital, the bodyguard responsible for protecting Pamela spoke, "Sir, Miss Parker is already asleep." Edwin nodded and opened the door to her room.The spacious and luxurious hospital room was filled with advanced medical equipment and Pamela's favorite mimosa flowers. On the hospital bed, Pamela appeared very pale. Edwin approached quietly, and when he faced Pamela, he had an inexplicable urge to escape.Even though she was asleep, Pamela remained highly alert. But upon hearing the familiar footsteps, she didn't open her eyes."Pamela, you..." Edwin had just reached the bedside when Pamela practically jumped up and hung onto him. Edwin instinctively embraced her."Edwin, I missed you," Pamela coiled around Edwin's neck, nestling gently in his arms."I'm sorry; I've been busy lately," Edwin replied.Pamela nodded and said, "Can you stay with me tonight? I don't want you to leave."Edwin hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Pamela's pale face lit up with a big smile.Edwin gent

Everyone praised Cecily for the rose cake she had made. Colin even suspected it wasn't her work, but Dottie quickly vouched for her.Edwin remained silent but had eaten several pieces of the cake. Ralph and his wife each had a plate, Colin had a plate, and Edwin and Cecily shared a plate. When only one piece was left, Edwin reached for it. Cecily immediately pulled the plate closer to her and protected it, saying, "You've had so much; this last piece belongs to me." She then took a bite.Edwin froze, his hand still reaching out.Colin, on the other hand, first burst into laughter, but then he felt like crying. Edwin was shameless for taking his plate and eating his cake.Colin was still afraid to speak his mind, and he continued to glare at Edwin. Edwin completely ignored him.Ralph also enjoyed a rare hearty laugh. The atmosphere in the dining room was warm, and everyone appeared genuinely happy.After dinner, Edwin and Ralph had tea in the living room, with Colin listening in. Meanw

When Cecily woke up, it was already noon the next day. Her head was throbbing, and her body felt as though it had been run over by a bulldozer. She ached all over.Her memory was quite fragmented. She remembered being with Jenny and Sadie at Sadie's place, eating pizza and then drinking alcohol. After that, she seemed to get drunk, and she recalled seeing Edwin. She shook her head, vaguely recalling that she might have made Edwin angry.As she thought about the intense dreamlike encounter from last night, Cecily shivered. Edwin had been extremely passionate; it felt like he had wanted to overwhelm her. But wait, something wasn't right. This room was very familiar..."Oh!" she exclaimed, suddenly sitting up. Her whole body ached even more, and she realized that this was her and Edwin's bedroom. What in the world was happening?She knocked on her heavy head, trying to remember. She remembered Edwin asking repeatedly, "Do you dare?" And she had given in, saying, "I won't dare anymore." W
