Ashley had just arrived at the Anina Airport. With her chestnut hair hung over shoulders, the woman in a beige long coat and high-heels looked at the strange yet familiar clouds in the sky while holding her suitcase.
She was only 20 when she left. Now that she came back, she was already 25. Her previous baby face, however, had grown mature and more beautiful with time.
A four-year-old boy in a formal suit could be seen accompanying her. Judged by his stern little face, one could assume he would become a handsome man in the future.
Pursing his thin lips, he followed closely behind Ashley as she walked.
"Alex, Ash!" A woman suddenly rushed over and hugged Ashley.
At the sight of her old best friend, Audrey, Ashley held her back.
Releasing her friend, Audrey couldn't wait to lower her head to look at Alex. She then releasing her friend, Audrey couldn't wait to lower her head to look at Alex. She then said in astonishment, " Ash, your boy is even more handsome in person than in the video!"
"Of course. He's my son, after all, " Ashley answered with a smile
"Or it's his father's genes that makes him this handsome" Audrey replied with a grin on her face with one corner of her lips lifted
"Ohh, you might be right" Ashley shrugged
Audrey scoffed and turned her attention to Alex
"Good to see you, Godmother." Alex looked up at Audrey and greeted her politely before resuming his cold demeanor.
Audrey gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Nice! Keep up with the little CEO's attitude!"
Alex smiled briefly in response, and then once again, his poker face was back on.
Audrey couldn't help but shake her head, feeling sorry for her friend. Ashley should have had twins, but unfortunately, the other baby was born with an illness and didn't make it. If only that child had survived..
With a smile, Ashley couldn't help but remember Levi's face every time she looked at her son. At such a young age, Alex already resembled his father a lot, even in his manners.
"However, the man was just a driver for the Stone family, not a CEO, or is he a CEO pretending to be a driver because of the situation she met him" Ashley thought
"No, though he has the physique and the aura; that doesn't make him one moreover he already confirmed that he is a driver" she thought again
Wanting to give the mother and son a nice reception, Audrey took them to a buffet restaurant.
She drove them in her sport car to the restaurant which is just 15 minutes drive from the Airport
Since Alex was wise enough to pick up his food by himself, Ashley didn't have to accompany the boy.
As soon as Audrey sat at the table, she whispered to her friend, "Are you really going to give the child back to his father?
"I have no choice" Then she raised her voice and added, "As his father, he's the most suitable person to take care of Alex until he grows up. I don't have much time left"
"Is there really no cure for your disease?" Audrey asked worriedly.
"I have advanced gastric cancer and only have a year left; as the Doctor told me. I don't want to waste time on useless treatments. I'll try my best to earn as much money as possible this year so that father and son can live happily for the rest of their lives"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips as if for a brief moment, she had forgotten the sadness her condition brought her.Although she seemed calm on the surface, no one knew the pain she had been carrying inside for so long.
For an instant, Audrey didn't know what to say, so she silently put a bowl of porridge in front of her before speaking again. "It's okay Ash. I know everything would turn out well."
Audrey continued "I had sent him the divorce agreement as you said back then. I don't know if he is married or not nowadays.."
"That's why I want you to help me take care of Alex for the next few days. I need to find out more about him. If he has remarried or has a child, I won't disturb him anymore."
"But if he doesn't have anyone and is willing to take responsibility for our son, I still need to make sure he's not a terrible man. After all, Alex will have to live with him for so many years."
Before she came back, Ashley had already thought about everything. "Of course, leave Alex to me. I don't have a
job now anyway, so I have plenty of time" Audrey assured her and then handed her a bunch of keys. "I've bought the house you asked for."
"Ohh, you're such a lifesaver and an angel" Ashley said and continued "I thought I won't be able to get a very good apartment because of the time frame"
"I was also suprised when the agent contacted me that there are some apartments available and that I should come and check it out" Audrey pointed out
"Wow, that's so nice of the agent. I'm so grateful" Ashley replied
"Mom, I want to use the restroom" a babish but firm voice was heard
"Let mom take you"............. "Let Godmother take you" both Ashley and Audrey responded at the same time
The both of looked at each other and burst in laughter. "Audrey take him to the restroom. You're just meeting your godson today, I should create opportunities for you to relate well with each other" Ashley said and turned to her son "Let your godmother take you."
"Alright mom" Alex said and looked up to Audrey "Godma let's go"
Together both Audrey and Alex left for the restroom hand in hand.
It should be highlighted that Ashley was actually misdiagnosed with advanced gastric cancer.

My CEO Husband The Visit
Immediately, they left for the restroom. She caught a glimpse of what looked like the back view of Levi. But she could not ascertain if he was the one, because the man was escorted into the private room of the restaurant so she was not able to see his face."It can't be Levi. He is just a driver, I must have been thinking a lot about him which makes me think that all men looks like Levi" She thought Few minutes later, Audrey and Alex came back from the restroom. They paid for the food they are and left the restaurant.Ashley had worked as a model in the United States for many years and made some money. Now, she spent all her money on this house in order to secure the life of her son, Alex.She knew that Levi was just a driver. It would be a heavy burden for him to bear the responsibility of being a father when he was totally unprepared.That was why she had to get everything ready earlier on her own.On getting outside the restaurant. Ashley said goodbye to her Son. She squatted in f

As she was going, she was thinking about the car that she just saw at the entrance. The person driving that car looks so much like Levi.Just then the same the car passed her, Ashley immediately recognized the man who was sitting in the driver's seat. It was her husband, Levi! She is 100 percent sure that the person she saw at the restaurant and in the car previously was him.It seemed that he was more mature than five years ago, and temperament seemed to be calmer and wiser than before. She had always known that he had a handsome face, but she had never thought that even his side profile would look this good. His sharp jawline looked perfect. even at a glance, his"Levi!" she cried out without thinking. Hearing this, the man turned his head sideways and shot her a cold glance, but then he turned back to the front and continued to step on the accelerator without looking at her anymore. The car quickly moved forward.In just a moment, he had already put considerable distance between h

Levi trudged back to his car. He sat in the driver's seat with his eyes closed a long time before he finally calmed down.The sudden sound of his phone ringing interrupted his train of thought. He picked up the phone and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom."Mrs Emily Stone, an elegant woman. She has been the head of the family for years since the death of Levi's father. So the family has been directed by her firm grip, she left the position for Levi 6 years ago when she knew he was matured enough to lead the family."Hi Son. Can we meet. I have something important to discuss with you." Mrs Stone said excitedly on the phone " Alright Mom. Where do you want us to meet" he replied her"At the restaurant opposite your company that your employees visit during lunch""Okay Ma. See you soon" he hung up the call In a fancy restaurant, the elegant Mrs. Stone looked at her son's long face, and asked worriedly, "What happened?""Nothing! Levi lowered his head and cut the steak carefully, but his mov

With her long legs and strong but slender figure, Ashley was particularly eye- catching in the crowd."Ashley, come here, " Maria called excitedly. "You look even more graceful now than when you were on the stage. You're really a treasure."Maria was happy. She was able to get a model a beautiful one at that, so she wanted her to look more beautiful and show her off to everyone by bringing her out."Thank you, Maria. I'l count on your care and help in the future, " Ashley said, raising the corners of her delicate red lips into a smile."Of course. You are my model now. Go inside. You should first establish a basic friendship with the interviewers tonight and try to pass the initial test in a few days," Maria smiled.Ashley nodded and walked along the red carpet. She had done this before, so she was not anxious at all. She walked in a calm and elegant manner, exuding confidence from every inch of her body. She walked as if she was born a model and with grace and also as if the runway

"Look over there. Those are all supermodels from Europe and America!" The man pointed in another direction and said, "And those women over there; are all new but outstanding supermodels from our country Carrivile Country" Steven said to his brotherLevi looked up at him with an utterly uninterested expression on his cold face. "When can we leave or should I say when are we leaving?""Are you so unwilling to stay here? Wait, I don't understand you again brother. What kind of women do you like? You refused the highly cultured ladies; the very beautiful socialites of Carrivile, you rejected them""Again, you said you don't like the gentle and dignified female doctors; you are not interested in female elites either; and you are not bothered to even sneak a glance at even the famous actresses."Steven said all at once " But Brother, at least I'm begging you let one of these supermodels here be able to attract your attention.

"Ashley, you left in a hurry just now. I didn't have the chance to give this to you!" Maria handed an exquisitely-packaged box to her. "Our company has prepared this gift for every model who is attending this party. You can give it to any of the judges to express your gratitude and leave them a good impression of both you and our company"Ashley took the box with a graceful smile."Thank you, Maria. I'll go ahead, then"Looking at Ashley's receding figure, Maria let out a sigh of relief.She had no choice but to follow Lucia's orders, because she was the boss and anyone that wants to survive in this industry must do according to her bidding. She felt pity for Ashley since she had both the looks and the talent needed to become a successful model, so it would not be difficult for her to get selected.But it stills baffles Maria how Ashley offended Lucia that the latter wants to cut off her wings before she can even fly. “There is nothing I can do for her my hands are crossed.

That mysterious woman had finally shown up again!Except for a quick glance in the afternoon, the two of them hadn't seen each other for five years.In Levi's mind, she was still the childlike girl who had said she had a little favor to ask him in the Civil Affairs Bureau.With coldness in his eyes, he asked slowly,"Do I know you?"A trace of sadness flashed in Ashley's eyes. It turned out that he had forgotten everything.But it didn't matter. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she didn't expect him to remember her."Mr. Stone, my name is Ashley. Ashley Brown" But it was very painful that he does not remember her even after what they shared that evening which later produced Alex, her handsome son. The thought of Alex brought calmness to Ashleys disturbed mind.She felt she can understand his plight since she left him in a very unreasonable manner that belittles his dignity as a man.The thought of Alex brought calmness to Ashleys disturbed mind."Five years ago, I got t
My CEO Husband She gave the gift to Levi
Realizing that Levi wasn't willing to give her his phone number, Ashley faltered slightly, and a touch of regret and disappointment flashed through her eyes. Just when she was about to withdraw her hand, however, he reached out and took the gift box."Mr. Stone!" Ashley exclaimed with renewed joy in her eyes. "I’ve written my phone number there. Please contact me after you cool off or when you feel you are ready to listen to what I have to say""Do you think the anger of five years can disappear in a moment?" Levi took the gift, clenching it with his slender fingers, and then set his glass down on the table with a thud, got up, and strode out of the hall.He tightened his grip on the gift box until his blue veins protruded from his fingers.“Anger of five years” Ashley wondered in confusion. Hadn't he said that he didn't remember her? In that case, how could he be angry at her for five years? Perhaps he did remember her, but he hated her for leaving without informing him. She had prob

"Yes, I like this job. She turned to Maria and said, Miss Maria, Ashley is my very good sister. Please take care of her for my sake, okay?"Maria eyed Lucias pretentious attitude but she had no choice but to respond to her Miss Brown.
