Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 143 : Contract Expired?
Christian"Good morning", I smile, walking inside the cabin and finding Chrisanna still sleeping while hugging Ivanna. Ivanna is awake now with a wide smile on her face. "Good morning"I lean towards her and kiss her forehead. "Slept well?" I look down at Chrissie. "That's a kind of stupid question"Ivanna chuckles. "She wouldn't leave me"I nod. "She was really scared of those thick bandages around your legs""She has never seen me like that before so—" Ivanna caresses her hair. "What about you? Your back is okay?""Why do you always talk about my back? I mean I'm not that old to have back issues. Come on!" I grimace."I just love to tease you", she pulls my cheek. "I know that"She cracks up. "Okay. So—""So— the surgery isn't going to happen today""Yeah. I kind of guessed it. There must be a lot of emergency cases""Well, that was the main reason. But even if they could, Thea wouldn't be able to go through surgery. She's already in the hospital bed", I say in utter frustration

Jarred"I told you not—", Tiffany follows him inside and pauses as she spots me with the same horror in her eyes. What the hell is happening?"Jarred!" I exclaim. He looks away, being a bit hesitant. "You— you know him?" Thea stutters from behind."Yeah", I don't look back at her and keep my eyes on Jarred. "I thought you were gone. But you're here?"I don't know how to ask this question but I can't understand his business here. "The thing is—" Jarred proceeds to say."He was my batch mate. From university", Thea cuts him off. "Oh! I didn't know", I say.There's a moment of awkward silence which might depict a bunch of questions and confusion. "I think you guys were in an important conversation. Sorry to interrupt", Jarred says before turning around."Wait! Wait!" Thea clamours at the top of her lungs and I look back. She's literally sweating with a nervous smile on her face. "We're not in a serious conversation. Mr Scott was here to ask how I'm doing"I pass her a blank look. "
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 145 : This is not the time
JarredShe has a perfectly round face, and slightly curvy lips, her eyes look thinly wider while they are closed and she has a mole at the corner of her eyes, the same as— me. She looks the same as I had pictured my daughter would look when I got to know about it. It seems like my imagination is reflecting through this child with that uncanny similarity. I can't take my eyes off her. And I feel like watching her for as long as possible. She brings a blissful smile to my face as if I can connect with her already. My chest fills with joy and affection. For a moment, I literally melt into another world. I step towards the bed and watch her sleeping peacefully. My smile widens and I feel a kind of urge to run my fingers through her hair. "I thought you left", Christian's voice brings me back to reality, making me startled. I look up at them and it takes me a while to realise I was in a different kind of world where I literally thought this little girl was my daughter. I almost forgot

ChristianChrisanna wakes up, opening her eyes at the door. She yawns and curls up her face, squirming onto Ivanna. "Hey, my sweet baby, good morning", Ivanna whispers, nuzzling her hair."Mama, who was that?" Chrisanna points at the door. Until then, Jarred had left the cabin."That was the same person I told you about last night", I smile at her. She immediately gets up, parting her lips in surprise. "That good man? Who saved my mama!" She squeals."Yeah. He is the same", Ivanna giggles.Chrisanna's face immediately drops. "Did he leave?""Yeah. He did. He was here the whole night, so—""Paa. I told you I wanna meet him", Chrissie fluffs her face. "I wanted to thank him"Ivanna laughs and drags Chrissie onto her lap and I help her. "I guess we should not annoy Jarred anymore. He would get annoyed with so much gratitude. Your paa has already thanked him a million times""But paa did. I didn't", Chrissie frowns at us, crossing her arms. "You didn't tell him to wait?"It's hard to fi
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 147 : Fatherhood
ChristianI get a call from Patricia and my blood runs cold after she informs me about Chrisanna's health worsening. I tried to keep calm in front of Ivanna and don't react at all. It makes me wanna slap myself. Just a while ago, I told her that I won't keep any secrets but right now I can't tell her Chrissie fainted. She's gonna lose it and she will want to leave this cabin. She's not allowed to walk at all. I somehow manage to keep a cold face and tell her that I'm leaving for home and I'll check on Chrissie before leaving. Thankfully, she didn't doubt anything. After leaving the cabin, I leave my breath and rush towards Chrissie's cabin as soon as possible. My heart thuds against my chest. I go out of my breath, finally reaching the door where Patricia is standing. "Chrissie! Is she okay?" I huff. "She's good now", Patricia says."What happened to her suddenly?" I ask."Mr. Scott, you'll have to accept that these are gonna be regular to Chrisanna. I'm sorry to say this but—""

Jarred"Wait! What do you mean?" I exclaim."What do you think about why you're here when Thea was right in front of us?" He asks in a kind of annoyed tone."Listen, I don't understand a thing", I shrug and walk towards my bed due to the exhaustion still crawling all over me. I sit at the edge of the bed and look at him. "Okay. So, I assume— believe actually, that Thea knows about Chrisanna's cancer""That's right", Kane says. "And she couldn't be a donor. A match. Of course. That's why she told you about me", I try to solve the puzzle since whatever I say, I can't get Thea's confession out of my head. She never once asked me how I got to know. Maybe, she told them about me. But again, why would she ask me to leave either? So many fucking confusions. Kane laughs, making me more confused. "What made you come up with this story, Jarred?""What do you mean?""I mean that Thea can definitely be a donor. Thea can easily donate bone marrow. But you're still here", he says."Wait, are you

IvannaMy body shudders with an unprecedented rage abruptly. I feel angry. Beyond my imagination. All my organs seem to start burning at the sight of her— the first time I'm seeing her after knowing what she did to him. I don't know how I'm holding back when right now all I want is to be the worst version of myself and make her pay for every single pain she caused Christian. "You look angry?" She frowns with a smirk, slowly walking towards me. She has bandages all over her arms and also her head. I look away, not wanting to talk to her at all. I just know that if she stays in front of me a bit longer, I won't be able to control myself."I'm just here to see how you're doing", she says. "But you seem to like—""Shouldn't you be resting, Thea?" I shoot her an ugly glare. "Because I can see your condition is worse than mine"I check her from head to toe. She pauses for a whole second with that same look. Same smirk. "I was never worse than you in anything, Ivanna", there's nothing b

Ivanna"You really—""I really punched her. And her good luck. She was already weak after the accident. I was being a woman to not attack another weak woman or else she would have been bled to death today", I shrug off in utter frustration.Christian is still silent with the same look of disbelief. Then he smiles out of nowhere. "Oh, God! Really? I mean really! My kind, adorable, innocent, peace-loving wife chose violence today? I'll need time to process this", he laughs again but immediately stops, finding me glaring at him. "What?""Yes. I chose violence against that woman who dared to lay her fucking nasty eyes on my husband and harassed him for weeks. I can strangle her to death and make her regret doing so"As I fum in utter anger, I find him smiling at me like an idiot. "That's not funny. You would have killed any man if such a thing happened to me", I shrug. "As I should", he softly nuzzles my knuckles, keeping his eyes on me. "I did the same", I say in a low tone, peering

JohnGetting married in the 50s isn't that strange anymore. But for me, it was— for a man who believed his marriage would last forever and then believed he would never marry again. I stood before the mirror as Ryan helped other groomsmen with their last fit."You all look pretty handsome. Ready to leave. But I wish Kevin had that time to get a good fit. Your suit sucks!""I feel better anyway", Kevin snarls. I chuckle while fixing my bow tie, watching my sons in their 20s still fighting like toddlers. It's been a blessing for me to have a family which didn't break even after the biggest disaster. And maybe it was because, in our family, it had always been us. Me and my two boys. Their mother wasn't there. The death was just a formality. I didn't really change that much. My boys were happier than ever after she died. It's really mean of me to think that way but it was the truth. They were traumatised because they were kids. As they grew up, I realised they had a better and healthier

Tiffany Emery runs to Sebastian. "Da—dy"And he immediately drives his eyes down and takes her in his arms. They both look at me lovingly. Now, I don't feel bad about pushing the wedding. This feeling would not be the same if we got married before Emery came. Ryan and Kevin walk beside me to the aisle. I wanted them to do this honour because if there's anyone in this world I still love more than Sebastian and Emery, My eyes become teary as I walk to them. Sebastian spreads his arm at me and I immediately dig into his chest.He leans closer to my ear."My beautiful bride"I smile against his chest and look up. He takes my hand and leads me to the centre. I take a look at every one. John, Mr Ryder, Gary, Myra, Christian, Ivanna and the recent teenager Chrisanna. Everything feels so complete and beautiful. Mr Ryder comes and takes Emery from Sebastian even though she doesn't wanna go. With the pastor's words, Sebastian and I looked into each other's eyes deeply. "I, Sebastian Ry

TiffanyI can't figure out how to react and what it's all about because I don't wanna assume anything unreasonable. He's on his knees with a damn ring.It means— God! I can't— comprehend it. My eyes flutter open at his handsome face. No words come out of my mouth. I'm at a loss of words."I know you're shocked! And I'm sorry if I scared you with this sudden—" he doesn't complete, yet keeps his eyes straight into mine. "But I couldn't keep this longer inside me, Tiffany. I had known a long time ago that I needed you in my life. Forever! And I'm not scared to ask you that—"With that pause, my heartbeat stops and my entire body shivers when I wait for him to complete."Will you marry me?" I feel goosebumps littering all over me with those words. Did he really ask me for marriage? It takes me a while to process. His eyes are full of fear and hope and I'm left in shock. Never in my wildest dreams, I had imagined he would propose to me. I hear some people around cheering up and root

TiffanyTime indeed flies like air and it happened in my case in a better way. In the best way, actually. I started my job in the daycare centre with all the lovely kids around which made my life less monotonous after Ryan and Kevin left. They are doing good in their new school and John has also settled into his new office over there. I and Sebastian balanced our life beautifully, supporting each other. As days and weeks passed, our love grew stronger. Among everything, I was happy with the fact that I have my identity now. A good identity. My salary doubled in just three months after joining for my good service and the way all the kids related to me. In a year, I was promoted to manager of the daycare centre, life couldn't be any less beautiful. It's been two years, I and Sebastian are together and we are living our best life. We hardly argued and most of the time it was just silly. He loves to tease me and I go along with it. Sebastian has become the most demanding lawyer in the

TiffanyWe spent the last two days painting the house and I can't describe how beautiful it came out. We did some changes like replacing the furniture and donating some. If everything goes well, I'll be here in less than three days.John has finished all the preparations in Hong Kong and he's leaving the day after we decided to move in. It all happened so fast but I'm glad that John is recovering. It's been eight months since the tragedy and I know it's gonna take years for him to overcome this. I'm happy for him but I would be happier if there was any chance that he finds someone to love him as much as all of us found a person to love.It sucks and I hate the fact that all his life he never found someone like that.I and Sebastian carry the portrayal I had in my room for years. It's a huge one and Sebastian suggested we should place it in the living room because it's beautiful. It's a painting I got from an art summit years back, featuring a mother and her small daughter, surviving

Sebastian"Really, Sebastian? I have never seen you this excited before", Georgia says as I show her some themes I'm confused with and I end up telling her the whole plan. "Isn't it something to be excited about?" I blurt out. "She's moving in with me. Isn't it amazing? People can't even go past dating and we are really moving in!" I tell her and she smiles wider, sitting in front of my desk."That's true", she says. "I'm just wondering what you would do once you guys announce the marriage!" she laughs but on a serious note, it makes my heart stop for a while.She pauses, looking at me. "Sorry. I should not have said that?"I chuckle. "Nah! Nothing like that. I just spaced out when you talked about marriage""Ah! So, that means you're thinking about it", she leans to the desk. I scratch the back of my head with an awkward smile. "I could marry her the moment I saw her! But hell! I'm not repeating any mistakes from the past. Maybe, I'll wait for a while before proposing to her. And t

Tiffany We stop by the nursery. It's one of the biggest nurseries in the city which I can completely believe by the way it looks. The boys run into the green surrounding and I and Sebastian slowly walk to see the plants. One of the workers accompany us, showing us all the kinds of plants we could use for decor. "I want the real ones", he says as I scan those plants which need no sunlight. They would be perfect for indoors."These are real ones too. These are just indoors", I say, watching his expression change. "But I still don't find the realness in them. You can take these. I'll look for others", he walks away to find his REAL plants as I shake my head at him in disbelief.We load all the plants we have got for the decor and Ryan and Kevin took two small ones to plant in the yard. Even though they won't be staying here, they wish to see it all grown up when they would occasionally visit. After that, we stop by a restaurant to have lunch. Surprisingly, Sebastian didn't suggest h
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 293 : Preparations
Tiffany We talked a lot today. I'm glad that I took this whole day out for him because we needed to have this conversation. I have finally decided to move in with him. Nonetheless, it'll come with more challenges and I'm ready for it. This decision will not only make our relationship stronger but also give me a world of my own. I can't wait to finally live my life in my own conditions and happiness. Sebastian asked me if he could help me anyway. But I refused to take any help from him as I did with John. It's my call to explore and look for opportunities which I'll be doing from today. I'm thinking about having a conversation with John again. I want him to change his decision of holding back until I settle down. Because that's impossible. I'll need a lot of time to clean the mess and organise my life and I think I'll surely do it if I have Sebastian.I'm glad that Sebastian understood me and more than that he trusted me enough. I'm scrolling through my phone to research the jobs I t
