Mr. CEO, You Are Only My Substitute Husband Chapter 27: Day 2
“KYLE REINHART!” Lysia shouted the moment she opened her eyes.She struggled frantically against the thick blanket wrapped tightly around her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free. Using all her agility, she managed to sit up, blowing away the messy strands of hair sticking to her face as she gritted her teeth. “Kyle Rein—”The sound of the bathroom door unlocking interrupted her mid-sentence.Kyle stood in the doorway, arms crossed over his bare chest. Droplets of water dripped from his damp hair, trailing down his toned torso. A smirk played on his lips. “Good morning, babe~”“What the hell are you doing? Let me out!” Lysia glared at him, her voice filled with frustration.“Well, I couldn’t exactly give you another chance to kick me off the bed, now could I?” He shrugged, stepping toward her leisurely while using a towel to dry his hair.“How childish!” she shot back.Kyle only chuckled in response, then slowly unwrapped the thick blanket restraining her. As if

After their unexpected meeting on the yacht, Jean Moreau invited Kyle and Lysia to attend his cocktail party that very evening. This sudden change of plans caused quite a disruption to their honeymoon schedule, which in turn put Kyle in an exceptionally unpredictable mood.Sitting inside a luxury fashion boutique in Paris’s largest shopping mall, Kyle intently observed each evening gown Lysia tried on. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “Are you sure you really want to go?”“Could you bring me a smaller size? Thank you.” Lysia handed the gown she liked to the sales associate, her tone polite.Only then did she turn to Kyle and reply, “A party gathering top-tier entrepreneurs and world-renowned fashion designers—why on earth would I refuse?”After all, Lysia had never denied being a workaholic. She seized every opportunity unfolding before her, turning them into articles to make a name for herself, publishing them across various magazines under RRC Newsroom. Wasn’t that the perfe

"Then will you pay me a higher salary to do as you say?" Lysia pretended to be deep in thought, nodding as if she had just come up with a brilliant idea.She glanced down indifferently at Victor’s hand clinging to Kyle’s arm before turning back to look directly at the woman’s face."Madame Laurent," she continued, neither too fast nor too slow, "I understand your concern for Mr. Reinhart. But today, he hired me to accompany him. If you're expecting me to step aside, then..."Victor hadn’t expected a mere secretary to remain so calm while confronting her. At this point, she couldn’t publicly lash out at Lysia too harshly in front of so many people—after all, Lysia hadn’t committed any major mistakes, aside from being one of the rare women to appear alongside Kyle at a social event.With the sharp intuition of a woman, Victor sensed that the relationship between the two was far from simple."Are you joking with me?" Victor narrowed her eyes, a silent threat urging Lysia to back down."N

[WARNING R-18] THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS.As Lysia gradually regained consciousness, she realized she was lying in an unfamiliar room.Slowly sitting up, she rubbed the aching spot on the back of her neck and took a moment to observe her surroundings. Based on the décor, she could tell that she was still at the same hotel where Jean Moreau’s banquet was being held.Noticing that her clothes were still intact, she wasted no time. Without hesitation, she got up and searched for the door to escape.As she made her way toward the sofa, she accidentally tripped over someone’s leg. Her heart skipped a beat, nearly leaping out of her chest. The dim golden lighting barely illuminated the space, so she crouched down slightly to get a better look at the man sleeping there.The moment she recognized his face, a mix of relief and shock washed over her.“Kyle!” she gasped, immediately shaking him.The air around him was heavy with the scent of alcohol.

[WARNING R-18] THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS.“Can I come in?” Kyle asked in a hoarse voice.Sweat was pouring down his forehead in large beads, and he was eager to take Lysia’s swollen lips once more.Lysia was now naked in front of him. His Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed, and his hands spread her thighs apart.The caress from Kyle’s large hands made her feel numb. She placed her hand on her chest to feel the pounding of her pulse, and her entrance was already wet enough to itch slightly from his foreplay. Looking straight into his hazel eyes, she nodded and said, “Do it.”As soon as she received her consent, Kyle slowly entered her with a very rhythmic force.“Aaah…” Lysia let out a moan.Up until this age, she had never truly experienced the feeling of making love because the haunting past kept haunting her. She had tried to overcome that nightmare many times, but she failed and then gnawed at the pain when the past came flooding back. She

"Drive faster! Run all the red lights if you have to—I’ll take full responsibility for any fines!" Kyle nearly shouted as he ordered the driver, his patience wearing thin on the way.Thinking about Samantha's condition, neither Kyle nor Lysia could stay calm throughout the flight. Fortunately, Jean Moreau had lent them a private jet, allowing them to fly directly back to Reeds City and cut their travel time in half. But Samantha couldn’t afford to wait for them for several hours just to sign the surgical consent form. Thus, Kyle had authorized Sebastian to sign on his behalf so the doctors could proceed with the operation in time.Lysia could only hold his hand and gently comfort him. "It’ll be okay, Kyle. The best doctors in Reeds City are doing everything they can to treat Mom. She was fine just a few days ago, so I’m sure they can stabilize her condition again."Kyle’s eyes betrayed his heartbreak. He looked outside the window in silence, unable to respond.If she were in his posit

*** FLASHBACK: 10 YEARS AGO ***Kyle returned to the Reinhart family mansion, clutching a piece of paper in his trembling hands. The entire way home, he kept rereading the information printed on it, his fingers shaking each time, yet he couldn’t bring himself to crumple it. Several spots on the paper had already been smudged and stained by his own tears.[CANCER TEST RESULTSt. Mercy Gracedale HospitalPatient: Samantha MurphyAge: 58Address: Rosewood Avenue, Gracedale, NY 10532, USA.Diagnosis: Breast Cancer – Stage I]The moment Kyle had received this devastating news, he had immediately boarded a flight to Gracedale, desperate to see his mother in person and confirm it for himself. But Samantha had refused to meet him. After an intense argument with her through a closed door, Kyle had stormed back to Reeds City, his heart weighed down by a crushing despair.As soon as he stepped inside the house, he was met with the gut-wrenching sound of a woman’s wailing. She was kneeling on the

When Kyle and Lysia arrived at the hospital, the entire Reinhart family was already gathered outside the room, yet not a single word was exchanged among them. The tension was palpable, especially in the expressions of Henry’s parents, Jacob and Jessica. Their faces were laced with irritation, as if they had just gone through a heated argument. The moment they saw Kyle appear, their displeasure became even more evident.Wendy walked over to Kyle and Lysia, her face clouded with concern. “Mom refuses to see us.”“Then I’ll go in and check on her,” Kyle said, stepping forward to open the door, but Wendy quickly stopped him.She shook her head solemnly, sadness evident in her eyes. “It’s best if we wait here until she calls for us. The most important thing right now is not to agitate her.”Hearing this, Kyle withdrew his hand and instead turned his attention to his eldest brother’s family. His voice was cold as he questioned them, “You came here just to piss Mom off, didn’t you, Jacob, Je

At Austin Miller’s house. Austin sat on the sofa, watching as the doctor and nurse checked Lysia’s vitals once again. About two minutes later, they completed the health examination and began packing up their equipment. Before Austin could say anything, the doctor removed his mask and calmly informed him, “Mr. Miller, you can rest assured—your wife is fine. She only has a common cold, which caused some physical weakness and led to her fainting. However, she must stay in a relaxed state, as that would be best for the baby. In these early stages, you and your family should take good care of her.” This doctor had been called in for Lysia’s emergency case and had witnessed Austin’s deep concern for her from start to finish. Naturally, he had misunderstood the relationship between the two. The more Austin listened, the more confused he became. His brows furrowed as he asked, “Excuse me? What baby are you talking about?” “The baby in her womb. Your child? Don’t tell me you didn’t kn

That night, instead of returning to Reinhart Grand Apartment, Lysia went back to the Kingsley estate. As soon as she entered her familiar bedroom, she collapsed onto the bed, burying her face in the pillow. Before long, soft sobs echoed through the room.Kyle’s sharp, scolding voice kept replaying in her mind, over and over again.For someone who had always been cherished like Lysia, this was a severe emotional blow, especially since it came from the man she loved deeply.The next morning, Lysia woke up and got ready for work as usual.When she turned on her phone, there were no missed calls. No messages.She truly wanted to stand in front of Kyle and ask him, “Just what exactly do you mean by this attitude?”When she went downstairs, the butler looked surprised to see her in the mansion. After all, she had returned in the middle of the night when everyone was already fast asleep. Only the security guards knew she had come back.“Lys, I didn’t know you were home, so I didn’t prepare b

“Thank you, Captain Grey. It was truly fortunate that you arrived in time,” Lysia shook hands with James Grey and smiled in gratitude.James returned her smile, a stark contrast to the serious demeanor he had while on duty. “You did well by calling the police in advance, Mrs. Reinhart. I live in the apartment across the hall, so jumping in to handle an emergency like this is just second nature to a cop.”“You live here?” Lysia asked in surprise before turning to glance at Helen, who stood behind her.Noticing Helen grimacing in pain, Lysia stepped closer and lowered her voice, “Are you okay?”Helen tried to suppress her discomfort, her face pale as she forced out, “I… I’m fine…”Lysia, however, was unconvinced. She firmly pulled back the hem of Helen’s shirt, revealing a large bruise along her side. Her expression darkened for a brief moment before she grabbed Helen’s arm and led her toward her car. “I’m taking you to the hospital for a checkup.”“Mrs. Reinhart, wait a moment,” James

"Mr. Reinhart, R-Tech's stock is continuously declining. It seems that news of our technological defeat has spread throughout the city," Sebastian reported from his seat to Kyle’s right, his eyes fixed on the candlestick chart displayed on his computer screen.In just a few short hours, R-Tech had lost 500,000 shares."This is a sign of a sell-off," Kyle observed coldly."A sell-off?" Sebastian and several other R-Tech employees exchanged surprised glances.Kyle held the latest stock market report for R-Tech, tracking data from the past two months—the exact timeframe when NexusAI had begun making moves in Reeds City. A massive influx of capital had surged into R-Tech, rapidly driving up its stock price, even before Kyle had approved funding for the company's new project. As an astute executive, Kyle had noticed the unusual activity early on.However, he lacked the concrete evidence to draw conclusions. Reeds City was home to many hidden affluent investors. Initially, he had assumed th

“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of Mr. Ryan Kingsley, I would like to announce the start of today’s meeting. We have placed the two plans of R-Tech and NexusAI on the table at your seats. Before listening to the presentations of each party, please read them first to make your own assessment, contributing to the objective vote at the end of the meeting.” David Thompson, the head of transportation and logistics of Kingsley Group’s headquarters, stood at the podium. He then added, looking down at the seats filled with shareholders and representatives from the two companies, “Okay, now which company wants to present first?” In an instant, the whispers suddenly disappeared. The entire room seemed to be holding its breath, waiting for one of the two parties to volunteer to come forward first. Austin leisurely tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and then smirked, “Because it is a small business that has just entered the Reeds City market, then Reinhart Corpor

One week later.Today marked the presentation of technology solutions by R-Tech, a subsidiary of Reinhart Corporation, and NexusAI. As a shareholder of Kingsley Corporation, Lysia attended the event and participated in the voting process. Initially, it was believed that only NexusAI possessed the innovative technology they needed. However, in just a few short months since NexusAI's announcement, R-Tech's team had successfully developed a similar system with additional enhancements.Kingsley Corporation’s logistics system had been facing severe issues. Fortunately, with Reinhart Corporation's assistance, the situation had temporarily stabilized, allowing operations to continue smoothly until a new technological system could be implemented.Reinhart Corporation was given a one-week deadline.Most Kingsley shareholders were astonished by Reinhart Corporation’s impressive capabilities.

She was nearly out of air from Kyle’s deep, consuming kiss. Her back felt cold against the surface of his car, and the only way she could stay steady was by wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. They had just bid farewell to their parents and were still in the parking area of the Kingsley estate. Kyle slowly pulled away from her lips, tilting her delicate chin up as he murmured in his husky, seductive voice, “Didn't you say you missed me? So I had to come to you right away. Still clinging onto him, Lysia pouted, “You drank too much again. I told you not to have more than three glasses, but you never listened to me!” Kyle's deep chuckle brushed against her ears like an intoxicating melody, blending with the soft evening breeze. They stood there like a picture-perfect couple, bathed in the dim glow of the parking lot lights, m

Knock, knock.The sound of two knocks on the car’s window abruptly pulled Lysia out of her wandering thoughts.She quickly rolled down the window, revealing a stern-faced police officer. However, his serious demeanor softened into a small smile upon recognizing her."Good afternoon, Mrs. Reinhart. I wasn’t expecting to run into you here," he said. "I’m sorry to inform you, but this area has a strict 30-minute parking limit during peak hours. I’d appreciate it if you could move your car soon.""Captain Grey, thank you for the reminder. I apologize for the inconvenience," Lysia replied, fastening her seatbelt and pressing the ignition button.Captain Grey shook his head slightly before continuing, "Parking on this street… Are you heading toward the Kingsley estate? Please send my regards to Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley, Ryan, and Mr. Reinhart.""Of course. And please extend my greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Grey as well. My father must miss them since they moved back home," Lysia responded politely

At the restaurant across from RRC Newsroom. “Oh my God, I can’t believe there’s a tiny little life inside this perfectly flat stomach of yours. You’re not messing with me, are you? It’s not even April Fool’s Day yet.” Lysia squinted at Catherine with suspicion. She reached out, placed her hand on Catherine’s belly, then pressed her head against it, as if trying to hear the baby inside. Catherine laughed, gently pushing Lysia’s head away before pulling a medical report from her purse and placing it on the table. “It’s only been three weeks. How could you possibly hear the baby move? If you don’t believe me, see for yourself.” After reading the report, Lysia froze for a moment before suddenly jumping up and wrapping Catherine in a tight hug, her voice filled with excitement. “Sweetheart! That means I get to be a mom too, right? We promised we’d be godmothers to each other’s children!” “Lysia, you’re squeezing me too tight—I can’t breathe,” Catherine gasped, lightly patting Lysi
