Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 40: Life's Winner
Facing Julia's eagerness, Calvin subtly took a step back, creating some distance between them. He noticed her assistant approaching with an umbrella, then shifted his gaze back to Julia, remarking, "It's sunny out, Miss Julia, be sure to protect yourself from the sun." His tone was casual, devoid of any personal sentiment, almost like a weather forecast. He naturally knew when to say what, but often couldn't be bothered to engage. He believed that this remark would allow Julia's imagination to run wild. He didn't care how she interpreted it, as long as she focused on completing the current shoot. As soon as he spoke, Julia's assistant arrived, panting slightly from the hurried walk. Without saying a word, she immediately held the umbrella over Julia and Calvin's heads, providing some relief from the scorching sun. Julia claimed to be 168 centimeters tall, but she was barely 162, while Calvin towered over her. It was tough for the petite assistant. If their artist was cozying up to th

"Bundled publicity stunt?" Bella didn't quite understand publicity stunts. She thought writing a news article to create buzz was enough. Was it necessary to go to such lengths?Jex took a few sips of water handed to him by his assistant and said, "No pictures, no truth. Anyone could be the one spreading the news."With that said, Bella understood. On the internet, there were countless self-proclaimed entertainment reporters, D-list actors, extras, hotel waitresses, flight attendants, or those who claimed to have relatives in high positions in the entertainment industry. These people loved to leak information. On a busy set like this, you never knew who might secretly take photos to leak them. Even rival artists could cause trouble; the industry was too chaotic.In the blink of an eye, David and Julia approached. Bella didn't pay much attention when she first saw Julia, partly because she wasn't focused on her, and partly because Julia had been harassing Tang Ze by phone. However, Davi

Before returning from Thailand, Calvin had already finished reading "Like Waves and Tigers". He didn't express any opinions on the bed scenes in the text, but the more he remained silent, the more uneasy Bella felt. Calvin was the type of person who liked to catch others off guard, and who knew what he was thinking. This feeling of being left hanging in the air was truly uncomfortable, and Bella tried to ask him about his thoughts on the book, but he simply said that once Jex bought the copyright, it would be handed over to a screenwriter who would try to preserve the original content as much as possible.Preserve the original content as much as possible? What about the bed scenes... He seemed to know what she was thinking and added that only the kissing scenes would be preserved for intimacy, and then he didn't say anything else. Bella pondered over his words for a long time but couldn't figure out what he meant. Perhaps he really didn't have any other intentions. Who knows?Coming o

Normally, Fiona would curse this kind of task assigned just before quitting time, isn't it just disguised overtime? However, all shameful exploitation under the aura of the CEO is glorified as heaven's favor. Fiona laughed heartily in the taxi, with a proud look of a sheep about to enter the mouth. Bella silently sweated for acb, Fiona's fierce and passionate demeanor is really not something ordinary men can handle, the CEO's life is in danger. When the car arrived, Fiona looked at the sign disdainfully and snorted through her nostrils, "Negotiating business with the CEO boss in such a high-end restaurant, the employees don't get such good treatment." Bella glanced at her, coldly saying, "Just wait, the CEO will take you to enjoy life. You don't have to do anything, just accompany him to talk business everywhere." Fiona cast an approving glance and said, "That's right! Although she despises her flirtatious behavior, she doesn't reject the benefits that fall on her. With a wave of her

After the CEO returned and the crowd dispersed, Bella began writing her resignation letter. According to company policy, she had to wait a month after submitting the resignation to leave. Emily, her direct supervisor, would handle the report. Last time, Calvin embarrassed her, so maybe Emily wanted her gone sooner. What reason should she give for resigning? Fiona, seeing Bella struggling, scornfully suggested, "Who cares why you resign? They won't bother to keep a dispensable employee like you. Just say you're pregnant and want to stay home." The company would prefer pregnant employees to resign, saving them money. Bella hesitated. She didn't want to lie like that, but couldn't think of a good reason. Fiona was right; no one cared why she resigned, especially since Emily knew the real reason. Fine, she'd say she was pregnant. Meanwhile, Fiona grumbled about an expensive meal while filling out an expense report. "Expensive restaurants are normal," Bella retorted. She hadn't eaten mu

Bella hesitated, feeling that her novel wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either, and its popularity was really just average. Don't TV adaptations usually choose novels that are extremely popular? What did she have? Although sometimes she would complain in her heart that those adapted novels weren't much better than hers, when it came to herself, she became timid again. Calvin's help was undoubtedly a good thing, but she was happy and worried at the same time, afraid of causing him losses, after all, investing in a TV drama was not a small amount of money. Calvin listened to her worries, unperturbed, "Since we're going to shoot, we naturally have to promote it. We can't just silently film and quietly release it. When you resign, you can participate in the filming of 'I Want Summer' to boost the popularity and discussion of the upcoming TV drama. As long as it's handled properly, becoming a familiar face shouldn't be a problem." "Me?" Bella was dumbfounded. He wanted her to join "I Wan

Bella hurriedly went out after tidying up. Her mother gestured for her to sit beside the sofa and dumped the contents of the shopping bag onto the coffee table. Bella had never seen these things before and casually picked up one, asking, "Mom, what did you buy? There's so much." Did they really need so many pregnancy tests? Bella's mother glanced at what she was holding and said, "That's an ovulation test strip. If you're not pregnant, you can use it to test for ovulation. The success rate of intercourse during ovulation is high." She then pulled out a pregnancy test and handed it to Bella, saying, "Go and test." "Oh..." Bella glanced at the instructions and went to the bathroom, closing the door behind her. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt a strange sensation. Pregnant? Perhaps it was because Calvin was too stable and decisive. Calvin's father never cared about his affairs, let alone urged them to have children. She had been drifting aimlessly with him for a few years, an

As Bella was once again summoned to Devon's office, she truly felt that her life was full of twists and turns. She had expected a leisurely life of sitting back and relaxing after leaving her job, but it seemed like someone always had to disrupt her peace. At this moment, she imitated Calvin's expression of indifference as she watched Devon furrow his brows in deep thought. She couldn't understand why he was troubled over someone who was about to leave the company like her. After a while, Devon seemed to adjust his mood, and his expression softened. However, the chaotic desk and scattered files on the floor still revealed the turmoil in his mind. He must have just had a heated argument with Emily and called her in without even tidying up. "Mr. Devon, you wanted to see me," Bella said when Devon remained silent, prompting her to speak up. Devon sighed deeply, rubbing his forehead with fatigue evident on his face. "Bella, I think you should understand that Emily's animosity towards y

"Absolutely not!""Dream on!"Two voices rang out simultaneously as Jex and Fiona locked eyes, engaging in a silent battle of wills. Jex was the first to turn his gaze back to the computer, remarking, "Wives are the most ungrateful creatures. They promise to give themselves to you, but once they do, they demand more. They’ll take half your savings, hold your assets hostage, and put their names on your house and car. Ask them to have a child, and they wail about their lack of human rights, claiming they aren’t baby-making machines. Damn it, even if I, Jex, had a fortune, you’d still have to give me a son!"Fiona retorted coolly, "Yes, some men think so highly of themselves. They assume women marry them for their money, while simultaneously saying 'I love you, everything of mine is yours,' and insisting on a prenuptial agreement. Not only that, but they also eye their wife's dowry. 'The house is mine; you just pay for the renovation and the car. Don't know how to drive? No worries, I do
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 88: Valentine's Day Gift
Bella has been feeling a bit anxious lately, the kind of anxiety you feel when your crush discovers a little secret of yours—nervousness tinged with embarrassment. She’s been waiting for Calvin’s reaction, but he hasn’t shown any sign of noticing that she turned their recent experiences into a novel. She feels both relieved and a bit disappointed. Why doesn’t he say something? Like maybe he doesn’t like it, or he doesn’t mind. What does saying nothing mean? She’s made countless guesses but never thought Calvin might enjoy seeing her troubled by guessing his thoughts.She’s even consoled herself like an ostrich, thinking maybe he hasn’t read the novel at all. After all, the plan was just proposed, and the story isn’t even finished yet. All future plans are empty talk until the script is completed. With that in mind, his lack of reaction seems reasonable.Now that "Like Wolves and Tigers" has finished airing, she has nothing more to do with the company. Her daily routine consists of wri

Calvin had retrieved his car from repairs, but perhaps out of guilt, he found it increasingly unsatisfactory. Rather than driving something that displeased him, he decided it was better to buy a new one. Jex, learning of this, insisted on accompanying him. The old BMW X5 had been completely sidelined; Calvin would rather take a taxi than drive it. Jex jokingly called him heartless and ungrateful, lamenting that the loyal X5 had been abandoned despite its hard work. "What did it do wrong?" "It knows too much," Calvin said nonchalantly, fastening his seatbelt as he got into Jex's car."Knows too much?" It didn’t want to, either. It played along with your ruse, and this is how you repay it? Jex started the car and drove out of the parking lot. "Cars can't talk, you know. They're like mute illiterates—no matter how much they know, they can't express it."Calvin didn't respond. The car might not talk, but the passengers could ask questions. It's just easier to replace it. Shortly after th

Bella watched Calvin close the door and couldn't help but laugh. Despite being a bit annoying, it was indeed a coincidence that they ran into Jessica again. Disrupted by her presence, they lost the mood for shopping and just bought a pair of rings before heading back. Bella leaned back on the sofa, holding up her hand to inspect the ring. Hmm, it didn't sparkle as much away from the display lights. Seeing Calvin's figure, she waved him over.Calvin sat next to her, glanced at the ring, and smiled without saying a word. She grabbed his hand to place the rings side by side. With the right lighting, the rings regained their brilliance. She smiled foolishly, leaning her head on his shoulder. Apart from their wedding ring, he had never given her any jewelry before. This was probably the first time. Women have an inexplicable fondness for rings and flowers.“Do you like it?”“I love it!” She smiled and gave him a light kiss on the lips. The peck was far from enough to satisfy him. He reache
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 85: Calvin’s Wife
After finally getting into a taxi, Bella looked back at the photographers far behind, still snapping away, visibly shaken. Calvin seemed relieved as well. It was strange—why were there media outside the hospital? Few people knew about his hospitalization. How did the media find out? It was probably Jex’s doing.The call to Jex went through quickly. Jex was still talking to someone, haggling with a real estate agent by the sound of it. After finishing his conversation, he finally put the phone to his ear. "Calvin? I won’t be coming by this morning. Hold on until the afternoon, and I’ll help you to the bathroom."“I’ve been discharged.”Jex was a bit surprised. "Regained your sight?" He didn’t think it would happen so soon. "Stay a few more days. I can handle things at the company."“What’s with the reporters at the hospital entrance?”Jex laughed on the other end, pretending to complain. "How can we play happily if you pretend you don’t know it’s my arrangement? What’s the deal? Natura

"Blind man feeling an elephant?" She remembered the trick they played in the hot tub in Thailand, and it really fit the current situation. But she really couldn't handle this position, struggling futilely, "Mm... not like this, it's so embarrassing!" Being positioned like this and having him play with her was really too shameful, wasn't it?"I can't see," Calvin said, his fingers drawing circles there, getting increasingly slick, his head slightly tilted as his lips pressed against the delicate skin on the inside of her thigh. The tender and gentle kisses mixed with his breath made her whole body tremble. She shrank back, begging, "I'm ticklish, stop it." The light touches were the worst; she was really on the verge of tears with nowhere to escape.As if to tickle her, his nose rubbed back and forth on the spot he had just kissed with a bit more force, then a warm, moist tongue slid over it, followed by his teeth nibbling on the delicate flesh, bringing a slight sting. Bella couldn't

Calvin moved her hand away once more. "It's uncomfortable to sleep while holding you." Now Bella felt genuinely hurt. She had apologized, but he still refused her. Stiffening behind him, she debated whether to turn away herself. After a long while, she reached out again, hesitant to touch him. What if he rejected her again? She sighed softly, deciding to try once more. Snuggling closer, she hugged him again and said in a muffled voice, "I want to sleep while holding you." She felt his hand grip her wrist and her nose stung with tears. Was he really so firm? Pulling back, she felt a lump in her throat, "I need a drink of water," she muttered, getting out of bed and walking away quickly. She didn't turn on the lights. Calvin heard the sound of water being poured and the cup being set down, followed by her footsteps returning. She paused outside the curtain before quietly coming back to bed. This time, she stayed far from him, not even covering herself with the blanket, curling up an
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 82: Blind Man Feeling an Elephant
Calvin's minor injury had scabbed over by the third day in the hospital. During the doctor's rounds, Dr. Jason kept a straight face while making notes. He could sense that this patient was in a good mood today and was becoming more adept at acting blind. When asked about his eyesight, Calvin still claimed he couldn't see. Dr. Jason made notes in the medical record without any comment.When Jex arrived, he found the room lively. Calvin was pretending to be blind, Dr. Jason was expressionless, and Bella looked worried. Jex smiled, feeling that he had come at the right time. He glanced at the medical record in Dr. Jason's hand. It seemed that private hospitals were going all out, not only providing medical services but also playing along with the patient's act. What was written in the medical record? A script?Dr. Jason closed the medical record discreetly, advised Calvin to rest more, and then left the room."How are you feeling today?" Jex asked.Calvin didn't answer, but Bella, with a
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 81: The Black Card
When Calvin’s wound got wet, Bella anxiously called a nurse to change the dressing. As the bandage was removed, the wound appeared pale, making Bella frown in concern. How could such a grown man be so careless? All this fuss only caused him more suffering. The nurse repeatedly emphasized that the wound should avoid water, but Calvin lay there with his eyes closed, showing no sign of listening. The nurse then turned to Bella with a tone of reproach, implying how poorly Bella was taking care of the patient.Bella felt frustrated; it wasn't intentional on her part. After the nurse left, she turned to Calvin to complain, "Did you hear that? The wound mustn't get wet! If you keep this up, you won't be allowed to bathe at all!" After all, they were in an air-conditioned room, and he wouldn’t sweat.Calvin lazily acknowledged her, feeling rather moody since he hadn't been able to have his way. Bella busied herself with organizing the wardrobe. Jex and Fiona had delivered her luggage from the
