Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 69: Raising the Blond Blue-eyed CEO
The phone kept ringing, but Calvin remained unmoved. Bella felt uneasy hearing it, finding her recent position awkward now. Calvin held her still, withdrew, and grabbed a few tissues to clean her up. She blushed, clumsily trying to fix her clothes, but fastening her bra's clasp with her dress on was difficult.Without a word, Calvin took off her dress. She turned her back to him, covering her chest, her face flushed. The scene was undeniably intimate. He couldn't resist brushing her shoulder again, laughing amidst the ringing phone. "If I’d known, I would’ve just taken it off earlier."“Hurry up!” she urged, annoyed by the phone ringing incessantly. Jex’s patience was impressive.“No rush.” Calvin knew Jex; whatever he wanted wasn’t urgent, just idle chatter. He helped her fasten her bra and put her dress back on. Looking at her now, with her face flushed and eyes moist, she looked thoroughly ravished. He couldn’t help but smile.“What are you laughing at?”He shook his head and asked

Jessica turned at the sound of Jex’s voice and gave a seductive smile. Her heavily made-up face seemed about to crack, making Bella secretly worry for her. Fortunately, her concern was unnecessary. Bella was more curious about why Jessica was here at this time. Had she also resigned? That would be troublesome. How would she refuse Jessica if she clung to her persistently?Jex ignored Jessica’s overly made-up appearance and showed no surprise or questions about her presence. He enthusiastically engaged in conversation with her. Jessica seemed to regain her composure, giving the receptionist a disdainful look, but the receptionist, seasoned in handling such provocations, remained unfazed.After warming up with Jex, Jessica finally noticed Bella and Calvin, greeting them in an exaggeratedly sweet manner. Bella thought, "How long has it been since we last met? Jessica’s powers of annoyance have only increased. What has made her even more legendary? She used to shamelessly take advantage,
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 71: Pregnant?
With Jex's status, he never lacked women throwing themselves at him. To Bella and Fiona, Jessica's behavior seemed bold, but to Jex, it was nothing. He was used to women seeking relationships or hidden rules; the entertainment industry was full of women bolder and more alluring than Jessica.However, Jessica did show some potential for the entertainment industry. Despite Jex's playful rejection, she remained unfazed and even agreed, "That's right. I'm single because I refuse to settle. People say I'm picky because I'm pretty. It's laughable. If I have the means, why shouldn't I be choosy? Those who settle for less deserve the leftovers. If married life isn't better than being single, why get married? I won't settle for less!"Bella suddenly lost her appetite. Why be so harsh? Let her be picky if she wants. Why step on others to elevate herself? If no man on Earth is good enough for her, she might as well go back to Mars. Fiona chuckled, "Men are like computers; even top configurations
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 72: Gossip Headlines
Bella is not pregnant.She felt downhearted after leaving the hospital. Previously, she hadn't given it much thought and didn't care about being pregnant or not. However, once the idea took root in her mind, everything changed. Seeing her gloomy expression, Calvin thought she was overreacting. They were still young, and a child would come eventually. What was there to worry about? Bella, on the other hand, was focused on having a healthy baby. The doctor had given her a lot of advice, which left her confused and with only a patchy recollection. She decided to ask Calvin to find a bookstore where they could get some books on pregnancy and childcare for reference.Calvin frowned as he tried to think of a bookstore. There didn't seem to be one on their usual routes, and he rarely visited bookstores himself. With no clear idea, he relied on navigation to find one. Meanwhile, Bella grumbled, saying they had only used protection once during their stay at the resort and had not taken any oth
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 73: Cold War
People love to watch drama, and a few pieces of gossip quickly exploded on various forums, sparking widespread questioning and condemnation online. The comments under Bella’s article were filled with insults, as harsh as could be. Calvin and David became innocent victims, supposedly bewitched by a vixen; otherwise, how could an ordinary woman like Bella be worth two quality men fighting over her?Bella was on the verge of tears. What had she done to deserve this? How had this baseless rumor suddenly erupted? Calvin was clearly angry, sitting at his desk, staring at the computer screen in silence for a long time. Bella, with innocent eyes, looked at him like a timid employee awaiting her fate.Jex walked into the office and saw this scene. He hesitated before saying, "It's clear someone is behind this. If we suppress it, they'll just come out with more statements. The best way is to clarify your relationship publicly. These rumors will naturally fall apart."Calvin didn't need Jex to t
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 74: Wild Imagination
Calvin couldn’t stay out forever, and as expected, he was met with Bella’s angry face as soon as he walked in the door. He almost wanted to turn around and leave but held back. Bella glanced at the clock on the wall; it was just a few minutes before midnight. It was rare for him to still remember to come home! Since he loved his work so much, he might as well get a dormitory and save himself the trouble of commuting.Calvin didn’t say a word to her, and she only glanced at him before ignoring him. She had called him multiple times in the morning without any response. Was he not afraid she might have an emergency? Since he clearly refused to communicate, she had no interest in trying to bridge the gap. They had lived in mutual silence before for three years and could do it again now!Bella sat in the living room watching TV for a while before getting up to go to the bedroom. Her movement paused at the door, and she considered whether to sleep in the guest room to avoid getting angry ev
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 75: Running Away from Home
Fiona yawned, watching Bella pace anxiously in the conference room. Was it really necessary to be so worked up over seeing Calvin leave the company with a beautiful woman? It wasn’t like she caught them in bed together. Fiona’s mind wandered to what Calvin might look like in bed and quickly dismissed the thought. “What do you think he means by this?” Bella was on the verge of a breakdown. Why couldn’t Calvin just give her a straightforward explanation?Fiona lazily replied, “Like I said, Selina is starring in one of our company’s movies. It was hard to get her on board, so Calvin was just hosting her.” Fiona had already explained this multiple times when Bella first stormed in. Did Bella really need Fiona to say that Calvin and Selina were having an affair for her to believe it?“Isn’t Jex usually the one handling such matters? Fiona, did Calvin bribe you to defend him?” Bella hadn’t forgotten about the cucumber incident either.“Cross my heart, I haven’t been bought off with petty f
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 76: Suspicion
Jex was right; he had easier access to Calvin's office than Fiona did. Relying solely on Fiona's information would leave Bella sitting idly in the café, only able to spy on Calvin during lunch breaks and after work. If Calvin went out, Fiona might not be able to inform Bella immediately, but Jex could.The elevator stopped on the 26th floor. Jex pulled out his phone, made a call, and walked into Calvin's office as if he owned the place. Unfortunately, Angela was in the middle of a report. Jex casually pulled up a chair to listen, pretending to play a game on his phone to ensure the person on the other end could hear everything clearly.Calvin couldn’t find out from Fiona which tour group Bella had joined for her trip to Lijiang, so he had to start by checking flight records. Given the circumstances, her departure was clearly impulsive. She had turned off her phone, making her unreachable if something happened. The incident Jex mentioned about disfigurement in Lijiang was an isolated c

"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
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 83: Coming home
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
