Married with the Brokenhearted CEO Chapter 21
“Geoffrey!”GeoffreyGeoffreyGeoffreyThe name echoed inside the classroom.When Geoffrey felt the gaze around, that’s when he realized the shameful thing that he did. All he just wanted was to introduce himself to Adira, but he shouted his name in front of everybody. Just now, he thinks he made a fool of himself.Geoffrey stared at Adira, who’s gawking at him as if he’s a weirdo.He then remembered that Adira isn’t interested in dating. What if just like Elliot, he will only embarrass himself in front of Adira?Well, he already did.Geoffrey turned around. Catching his breath, he loudly uttered, “Geo… Geometry. I hate Geometry.” He walked away from her and exited the room.As soon as he arrived outside the classroom, he buried his face in his palms and cursed at his stupidity.Since then, Geoffrey avoided meeting Adira’s classmates around the campus.Time passed by and graduation is near.Geoffrey became so busy in his studies because he had to meet all of the requirements before gr

Rage nearly consumed Adira when she came inside her room with the red blanket in her hand. She looked at the blanket and remembered how Chadwick wraps this around the sleeping Isa. She felt a flicker of irritation and her blood pulsed through her veins. Adira can accept everything; Isa coming to their house, seeing her husband hugs another woman and Chadwick siding with Bea against any arguments. However, she lost her composure as soon as she saw the blanket around Isa’s shoulder. “He could have used his blanket instead,” Adira growled. Her fists clenched on the soft fabric. She washed, ironed, and folded it by herself. And now, it seemed she had to do those again. Meanwhile outside her room, Chadwick, Isa and Neil were rooted on their spots after seeing Adira’s rage for the first time. With a pale face, Neil observed his boss, who hadn’t moved in his spot since Adira shouted and entered her room. He does not know what happened because he was sleeping and only woke up after hear

Adira was driving her car with one hand. Staring at the clean road of early morning, she fell into deep thoughts. Now she calmed down, she thoroughly thinks about the reason why her eyes blinded with rage back there, and why she’s looking for a place to give her a peace of mind. “I never thought I’ll be this freaking angry over a mere blanket.” Her lips twitched after calling the blanket a ‘mere’. No. For Adira, the blanket isn’t just a mere fabric that will help her warm her cold night inside the cold house with a cold husband. “It is something I received with love,” Adira murmured, thinking about the kids from the orphanage. Then, she recalled the time when the kids gave her that. “Miss Adira!” Marie, the head of the orphanage, called Adira. “Yes, Miss Marie?” Behind Marie, Adira saw the shy kids lining up. They were looking at Adira with their cute round eyes, curious whether it would be alright to approach a very pretty lady like her. Adira found them so cute. “Ahmmm, a

The flashing light entered through the window and reached Chadwick’s sleeping face. His eyelids shook as he frowned before he slightly opened the window of his eyes. It’s morning. Chadwick, who waited all night for his wife’s return, fell asleep on the couch. ‘I couldn’t believe this.’ With morning bed hair, Chadwick looked around the quiet house. He doesn’t know if Adira came back already. “What time is it?” he murmured, staring up and then saw the time. 6:30am. If Adira came back before 6 and saw Chadwick sleeping on the couch, then she’s maybe in her room now, sleeping. “She should have woken me up,” he complained, yawning then sitting straight. Chadwick looked for his indoor slippers and then walked towards Adira’s room. He raised his hand, about to knock, but hesitated. ‘I don’t want to disturb her sleep.’ So, he put his hand down and touched the doorknob instead. Even though they are husband and wife, Chadwick clearly told Adira that they should have their private spa

Chadwick went to his company and started his work half-heartedly. He could not focus because until now, he’s thinking about his wrongdoings to his wife. Not only did he wrap a blanket around Isa in front of his wife, but he even used the first birthday gift Adira received this year. ‘But I am the first one who bought her a gift.’ Chadwick did buy her a gift but he never had the chance to give it. Seated in front of his desk, Chadwick stared at the paper bag underneath his table. He brought his gift to Adira just in case. [“And don’t act like a jealous husband. It does not suit you, honey.] He remembered again what Adira said to him a moment ago. ‘Me? Jealous?’ He scoffed. Chadwick does not want to admit it but yes, he’s indeed jealous of the courageous kids who gave Adira their gift, while he is a coward husband who just hides his gift for quite a long time. ‘I am getting weird as day passed by.’ Chadwick shook his head. Then he tried to focus back to his work. On the other

Adira drank hangover medicine to ease her headache. She’s a heavy drinker but that doesn’t mean the side effect of drinking so much won’t work in her body.“I should have slept more,” she murmured while massaging her temples.Her secretary, Hansel, looked at her boss and asked, “Did you drink last night?”“Yeah. So, it’s fortunate that I finished all of my work yesterday. Now I can slack off.”Adira rested her back comfortably in her office chair and placed her hands on the arm rest. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths, as if to meditate.She is still as pretty as ever. However, Hansel could see the fatigue on Adira’s face, and she could not help it but worry about her.“Ahhh, right,” Adira said, as if she remembered something. She opened her eyes and stared at her secretary.“Yes ma’am?”“Was it you who told miss Marie about my birthday?”Hansel stayed rooted at her place without moving.“I knew it. It is indeed Hansel,” Adira said, swaying left and right on her chair.Adira hat

Chadwick’s heart was convinced but his mind wasn’t. He can feel that he has crush on his wife, but his thoughts always deny the truth. That is why Chadwick agreed to the journalist offer for the magazine article about him and his wife. Through the one-day date, he will find out if his heart can win over his dedicated mind. There is this saying, ‘Don’t allow your mind to tell your heart what to do. The mind gives up early.’ Well, Chadwick will see if that’s true. Will his determined mind give up? He thought that it would be an easy test. But he doesn’t know that process will be so difficult, just like right now. The first course of their date is eating inside an expensive restaurant. Journalist and the photographer are on the side. They are watching the couple while taking down notes and pictures they can use for their articles.

But Chadwick wasn’t sure which one Adira would enjoy. And so, he bought her in front of the grilled hot-dog stand.“Good day sir! What is your order?” the cheerful lady greeted them.“Give us two grilled beef hot-dogs with mustard and mayonnaise,” Chadwick ordered.“Okay sir!”A moment ago, Chadwick pulled Adira out of the gallery. He said he will decide where to go starting from now on, and Adira was surprised that the place Chadwick wanted to go is a hot-dog stand.She stared at her husband’s side profile and saw the excitement on his face. Just now, he looks like a kid who had his mouth watered at the delicious snack in front of him. Adira felt like she saw a new side from the stern husband who doesn’t know how to smile sincerely when she’s around.“This is my favorite stand,” Chadwick sh

Adira’s POV Often, when someone has a head injury, she won’t remember the details of the accident. What happened, how she got hurt and who’s with her during the incident. But as soon as opened my eyes, everything came to me so vividly. I recalled how I saw the sign board above that was swaying down, when I looked at Chadwick who was standing beneath, when I ran towards his side and when I pushed him away and got hurt instead. Above all, the realization I had while running towards him came to me like a wave. It wasn’t calm, gentle, or destructive. Just… something I expected ever since I admitted that it might be possible to fall in love. I blinked my eyes slowly while looking at the white ceiling above the hospital room. Back then, I really thought I saw the underworld. But it really seems that someone like me was blessed with long life. As I was inwardly about to laugh, a voice called me. “A-Adira?” My numb body, which did not move for long hours, tingled as I turned my head t
