Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 49: Fiona
Bella had a fever for two days after the shock, sleeping heavily and unable to inquire about the progress of the situation. During this time, Fiona called, but Calvin answered and didn't mention much, just telling her to rest. By the third day, the fever had finally subsided completely, and Bella felt much better. As soon as she felt better, she couldn't sit still and contacted Fiona. Fiona was eager and said she would come to see her after work. When Fiona arrived, she brought a fruit basket with her. Bella couldn't help but laugh, joking about Fiona suddenly being so polite, even bringing a fruit basket. Fiona replied, "This is just the procedure for visiting someone who's sick." Bella couldn't help but argue, "Come on, it's just a fever, not a serious illness. You can take the fruit basket back with you later as a return gift." On Fiona's first visit, she looked around the house and said, "Who brings a return gift when visiting someone who's sick? Just remember my kindness. Ther
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 50: Attendance Check
On the first weekend of July, when "I Want Summer" aired, Bella and Calvin were on time in front of the TV. Bella's father had returned from his trip a few days earlier, and her mother had said she would visit them later. Bella told her not to worry about them; they were grown-ups and didn't need anyone to take care of them. Besides, she felt more relaxed when her parents weren't around. Variety shows were all about celebrities playing games for the audience. If there weren't any celebrities you liked, there wasn't much to watch. The segment design of this show didn't differ much from other variety shows; after all, the overall structure was the same, with the selling point being the beautiful scenery and attractive actors and actresses in swimsuits. Although Bella had been to the set before, it was chaotic there, so watching it on TV felt different, and she was quite excited. Besides Julia and David, there were other celebrities as well. She regretted not getting to know them better

Having Jex to lead the way made things easier, but unexpectedly, Jex didn't lead her inside; instead, he walked out. Bella followed him out of the door in confusion before asking, "Where are we going? Isn't Calvin in the office?" Jex didn't pause in front of the elevator but instead turned into the stairwell. The dim lighting made Bella feel a bit dazed, reminding her of the kiss they shared in the stairwell once. It seemed that her feelings for Calvin had slowly begun to change since then. Lost in thought, she heard Jex say, "Calvin's office is on the 26th floor." "Oh." She reflexively responded, then felt something was off. "His office is on the 26th floor?" Were all floors from 26 to 28 part of their company? If so, the scale would be too large, wouldn't it? "The 26th floor is for software development." Bella suddenly realized. Calvin's original profession was software development, and he only ventured into the film and media industry with Jex's cooperation in the past two year
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 52: Stairwell
For Bella, the film and television industry was full of mystery. Previously, she had been just an audience member in front of the television, but now she was about to be watched by others. Naturally, she couldn't help but feel nervous. Women, even when taking a photo, agonize over whether they look good or not, let alone appearing on television. Among the few things she knew, there was one particularly deadly piece of advice: they say the camera adds ten pounds, and normal people turn into fatties. She was worried because which woman wouldn't worry about looking fat? To Calvin, her worry was simply unfounded. Blaming the camera for looking ugly was ridiculous! As for being fat or thin, it had some impact, but how could a person who weighed 100 pounds suddenly become 120 pounds? A slight fluctuation didn't mean much. Besides, when it came to appearing on camera, there were various make-up and lighting techniques to beautify. Why didn't they mention those? Seeing her curiously wanderi

Jex wasn't surprised that Calvin and Bella came to observe. Calvin usually wouldn't bother to watch supporting role auditions, so it must be Bella who wanted to see the excitement and dragged him along. Two more chairs were added, and the four of them sat in a row to watch. Jex glanced at the information in his hand, clicking his tongue incessantly. Bella leaned in curiously, wondering what was so remarkable.Pointing to a section, Jex remarked, "This physique is impressive." He held the resumes submitted by actors, and while height and weight were basic information, measurements beyond that were not required. However, if provided, it usually meant the person had exceptional assets. Well-endowed—interested?Bella glanced at the data and then at the actress in front of the camera, confirming the impressive physique. Fiona also flipped through the resumes, noting that this actress had only done a few small commercials and had minor roles in unknown dramas. She glanced at Jex and quipped

Bella would be dumb not to understand his meaning. She turned around, hands on his chest, looking up at him with flushed cheeks and a shy expression, "This is the kitchen... Don't mess around, or we won't have dinner tonight."Calvin leaned in and pecked her between the eyebrows, "Just you is enough for me.""You..." Now even her ears were red. She thought her tolerance had increased, but he always managed to push the boundaries. In the kitchen? Doing what she had seen in movies? She couldn't stop him, so she interrupted him between kisses, "Um, let's, let's go to the room... It's, it's not convenient here..."Calvin moved them aside, away from the vegetables and knives, glanced at the shelf, grabbed some honey, and dabbed it on her lips, then smeared some on her chin and all over her chest, much to her confusion.Bella was startled but reflexively licked the honey off her lips. It was sweet! But he made her all sticky! His eyes were like fire, following the path of her tongue, unable
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 55: Sleeping in the Guest Room
Bella stared at her for a long time without saying a word. Although it wasn't quite seven times in one night, achieving seven times in a week with various methods was possible. It wasn't the frequency that was the problem; it was the variety that constantly pushed her limits. Today's approach was just too much, and she couldn't accept it no matter what.Watching Bella's changing expressions across the table, Fiona couldn't fathom what she was thinking. From glaring to several other expressions, it was truly impressive! About to lose her focus again, Fiona spoke up to bring her back to reality. "If you don't tell your confidante the truth, how can your confidante help you with your problems? What's going on?"Did she have a fight with Calvin? How could she be so calm if they had? As far as Fiona understood, a fight would either involve yelling or tearful complaints of injustice. But now... Bella seemed hesitant to speak, blushing and appearing shy. What was this? Wasn't this just showi
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 56: Mr. Calvin's Countermove
Calvin couldn't have dreamt that sleeping in the guest room would happen to him. In his understanding, that's a plot point only found in melodramatic TV shows, especially considering Bella's reason for being mad. If you like to go online, then go. Honestly, he didn't know how to handle the current situation. It seemed like a simple apology wouldn't appease her. Moreover, he had already apologized, and it had no effect whatsoever.To say she was angry wasn't quite accurate. In his opinion, it was more about shyness and discomfort, with a hint of annoyance and wariness, as if he were a pervert about to pounce at any moment. He truly had no response to this. He didn't repeat his apology; he was a man of action and didn't like to just talk. However, this situation was tricky. What action could he take to show that he had closed off those thoughts?She was avoiding him, without a doubt! Just because he was taciturn didn't mean he was stupid. If she avoided, he pursued. There was nothing in

"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

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

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
