Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 57: Someone Up There
Calvin's mother takes care of all aspects of Calvin's life, while his father hardly asks about anything, not even his work. It can only be said that Calvin is too successful and doesn't need his father's attention. However, Calvin's father seemed to be in a good mood today, and the conversation turned to children. He rarely said, "When to have children is a matter for you two as a couple, but I have some ideas for the child's name."Bella had a good obedient expression on her face, but in her heart, she thought, "You're already imagining the child's name. Can we still disobey?"Calvin's father continued, "I think the name 'Rui' is good."Calvin's mother gave him a sideways glance, "You're thinking about the name too early. The child isn't even born yet."Calvin's father chuckled, "It will come sooner or later. I just want to mention it now, so they won't have the name already decided." Looking at the somewhat stiff Bella, he hurriedly said, "Let's eat, let's eat. I just mentioned it,
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 58: Rescuing Beauty
For Bella, the first time exposed to the camera was a realization of her worst fears. She was nervous, extremely nervous, so nervous that her whole body felt stiff! In this reality show, besides the main camera capturing the big scenes, there were also additional cameras on the sidelines, always ready to capture some footage, even during breaks, to be edited into outtakes later. So, every move and gesture on set was under the scrutiny of the camera. If one camera wasn't filming you, you never knew when another might catch you accidentally.Bella was on edge, her nerves stretched to the breaking point. Fiona handed her a bottle of mineral water and subtly blocked the camera with her body. Of course, the attempt to block the camera was futile; the cameraman wasn't a wooden stake, and he would find an angle to shoot from. However, it did make Bella feel slightly more relaxed. She took a sip of water, not because she was thirsty, but because she felt uncomfortable all over. She didn't kno
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 59: Dry Tinder and Blazing Fire
Bella felt like she was burning up all over, but there was no panic or confusion as one would expect after an unexpected fall into the water! That bastard Calvin! She almost drowned, and he still had the nerve to act! He should spend his whole life sleeping in the guest room! Oh, wait, she's the one sleeping there now... Anyway, you get the idea! Just wait and see!Fiona was still trembling with fear, thinking, damn, she risked her life for this acting gig, so what if the pay is good? High stakes call for high rewards! But seeing Bella looking all flushed and spirited after the incident eased her worries a bit. Damn, she's even more robust now than before she fell into the water! Men sure get revitalized quickly, just one glance and they're full of vigor. If they get a taste of meat... I wonder if tomorrow there will be gossip about "renowned author Bella repaying the favor by spending the night in the room of her savior"?No matter the era, offering oneself as a reward is always a ju
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 60: Discussing the Script
Bella yawned and slouched in the chair, chatting idly with Fiona, who was also yawning continuously. The entertainment industry was tough. No matter how big of a star you were, if the script required you to get up at 4 a.m., you had to get up. She had only slept past midnight last night and had to wake up before 4 a.m. Exhausting! Why bother with all this when she could have lived comfortably? Being mocked and despised by Emily, so what? She couldn't hear her anyway.She yawned widely, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Such a hassle! According to the script, they, a bunch of idiots, were supposed to spend the night in the mountains, and getting up early was for filming the morning camping scene. Originally just an extra, with last night's incident of falling into the water, her teammates had to show concern for her, adding a few meaningless lines.The assistant bought coffee and sandwiches, and everyone found a place to eat. Bella felt a bit less sleepy as she ate. W
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 61: Where's Your Sincerity?
Discussing the script in the dead of night, Bella couldn't help but wonder why they couldn't discuss it during the day. If it were someone else, she could use the excuse of being busy recording during the day, but with Calvin... What script could they possibly have to discuss? It's more like discussing love and romance.Nervously, she knocked on the door, wondering if tomorrow there would be gossip about their late-night script discussion. A female internet writer going to a financier's room late at night to discuss a script and leaving at dawn - it's a scandal waiting to happen! Wait... is she going to be part of this gossip?Lost in thought, the door opened, and she was startled by the sight of a half-naked man. How could he open the door like this? Barefoot, with a towel wrapped around his waist, looking like it could fall off at any moment, even revealing some sexy hair... Bella instinctively took two steps back, her face flushing red. How could this happen? Calvin looked at her,
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 62: I Understand Better Than You
The set was bustling as usual, with Bella flipping through the thin script pages repeatedly. Reality show scripts were just outlines, and the specifics depended on individual improvisation and the director's last-minute adjustments. Bella, lacking experience, always managed to attract the director's attention with her straightforwardness, even if it meant being scolded. So, during breaks, she used her time to figure out how to avoid getting scolded. It had to be admitted that Fiona was more talented than her; whatever Fiona said was always met with the director's approval.Fiona looked down on her, despite Bella watching so many variety shows! This kind of thing was naturally improvised as needed, based on what the audience wanted to see. Did they still need teaching? If she were the director, she'd scold herself! "I'm going to buy popsicles, you think about it some more." On a hot day like this, she should be enjoying the air conditioning indoors instead of punishing herself. Bella m
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 61: She's My Little Enchantress
Following behind Calvin, Bella glanced back at David standing there and felt quite sorry for him. It’s rare to find someone in the entertainment industry, or even in a regular workplace, who would stand up for a colleague like that. Of course, if he was standing up for her because he had feelings for her, then… She couldn't help but smile as she quickened her pace to walk beside Calvin, tilting her head to look at his cold, frosty face, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Calvin, where are we going?"Calvin didn't respond and led her straight to the director to watch some playback. The director was currently enjoying an ice pop, and Calvin told him to take his time and rest. Bella cheerfully unwrapped her ice pop, "Mr. Calvin, aren't you having one?" Her ice pop had started to melt after a short delay, making her frown.Suddenly, without any warning, Calvin leaned in and took a bite from her ice pop."Ah!" Bella exclaimed softly, looking at the now-missing corner of her ice pop. Realizing wh
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 64: We Are a Couple
Bella noticed that the director's attitude towards her had changed. As the director's attitude shifted, so did everyone else's attitude towards her. She couldn't help but suspect that Calvin's behavior that day was an intentional hint to the director. However, it didn't make sense—if he wanted to make things easier for her, a simple instruction would suffice. Why go to such lengths? Anyway, she had a rather comfortable last two days with the production crew, so comfortable that she almost felt like a big star. The day the program wrapped up, they held a small cocktail party to reward the entire crew. Everyone enjoyed such eating and drinking events. Although it was called a small cocktail party, everything was meticulously arranged, from the venue decoration to the food and drinks. Bella and Fiona found themselves in the middle of it, marveling at how money could solve so many problems. Honestly, they had only seen such scenes on TV. In their previous company, anniversary celebratio

"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
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 87
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
