THE CEO PLUS-SIZE EX-WIFE Chapter 10: Regret And Love Lost Her
Valentine Anderson gazed incredulously at the gatekeeper, his expression twisted with disbelief. Disregarding the warning, he took a hesitant step forward towards the singers' mansion, his demeanour fraught with anxiety. "This is private property, sir. You can't enter," the gatekeeper cautioned firmly, adamant about not letting Valentine pass through the gates.Fueled by emotions and disbelief, Valentine's eyes blazed with intensity as he bellowed, "Move aside!" His mind was clouded with the shocking revelation about Andrea Singers not being in Vegas, causing him to act recklessly.Ignoring the gatekeeper's protests, Valentine forcefully pushed him aside and bolted towards the mansion. "Sir!" the gatekeeper called out, struggling to rise to his feet and stop Valentine, who was sprinting towards the mansion entrance. "Andrea! Where are you? Andrea!" Valentine's voice echoed as he neared the imposing mansion structure. However, his desperate cries were cut short as three imposing bod

Mr. Singers teased with a wide smile.Andrea shook her head in response, remaining silent. Mr. Singers chuckled before reassuring her, "You don't need to feel nervous. Everything that

Andrea continued speaking, her voice filled with pain and longing. "When I was just three years old, my father left us, and he never returned. I doubt I would even recognize him if he showed up now. Every evening, my mom would stand by the door, hoping against hope that he would come back, but he never did."The expression on Mr. Singer's face changed dramatically, a mix of guilt, sorrow, and regret washing over him."My mom always believed that my dad would return one day, but he never did, not even when she fell ill. I was in 6th grade at that time, juggling two jobs after school to try to pay her hospital bills..." Andrea's voice broke, tears streaming down her face.Mr. Singer's eyes were red and his fists clenched tightly, mirroring Andrea's pain.Wiping away her tears, Andrea turned away from the window to face Mr. Singer.

Mr. Singers turned around with a twisted grin that barely passed for a smile, his piercing gaze landing on a man in his early seventies. Despite his snow-white hair, the lines etched on his face seemed to defy his age, and he moved with a vigour that belied any need for assistance.Trailing behind him were two loyal aides.His name was Gibson. Prior to Mr. Singers' journey to Vegas, he had attempted to secure an alliance through marriage by introducing his most enchanting granddaughter to Mr. Singers. However, his proposal had been summarily rejected."Apologize," Mr. Singers commanded icily, his usually stoic visage now clouded with darkness.Mr. Gibson stared back at Mr. Singers in disbelief. Despite their years of collaboration, this was the first time Mr. Singers had regarded him with such disdain. And all because of a woman — a woman whose appearance he found incredulous."Why should I apologize?" Mr. Gibson retorted through gritted teeth, refusing to bow his head so that Mr. Sin

Mr. Singers furrowed his eyebrows, caught off guard by the unexpected emergency meeting. It was evident that arrangements had been made without his knowledge."Andrea, come with me," Mr. Singers said, relieved that he wouldn't have to organize a meeting to introduce Andrea as their future chairman.Andrea tensed up, overwhelmed by the prospect of taking over the Singers group. Despite Mr. Singers' intentions, she doubted her ability to face the board of directors and shareholders. "I'm not feeling well. Can we do this another time?" Andrea's voice quivered, her complexion drained with anxiety evident in her fidgeting.Mr. Singers offered a reassuring smile as he gently took her hand. "This is your company now. Your employees and colleagues should be the ones feeling nervous about meeting you. Remember, a boss is not meant to fear their employees. Don't be the first."Mr. Singers's words had a magical effect on her; her stiffened back relaxed, and her tense nerves eased. Taking her han

The board of directors and shareholders were all on their best behaviour during the introduction, thanks to the effective strategy employed by Mr. Singers.As soon as the introduction concluded, Mr. Singers departed with Andrea, leaving the boardroom behind.Once Mr. Singers and Andrea had left, the expressions of the board of directors and shareholders changed drastically. Their smiles disappeared, replaced by looks of anger as they engaged in intense discussions.Even after they had exited the boardroom, Andrea remained in a daze. Everything was happening too quickly, and she struggled to comprehend how she had suddenly been named as the successor of the Singers Group.Gazing at Mr. Singers, she gathered the courage to ask him the burning question that troubled her: "Why are you being so kind to me? Can you please tell me the truth?"Tears welled up in her eyes as she grappled with the overwhelming realization that someone outside of her family could show her such kindness. Did she

Mr. Singers found himself unable to end the conversation with Sylvester, his reluctance driven by his concern for Andrea; he was determined not to let anyone disparage her."Even if I were to hand over Agatha to you, victory would still elude you. A defeated adversary remains defeated; don't let me down in the future. At the very least, put up a respectable fight before succumbing to her," Mr. Singers remarked, his arm offering solace on Andrea's back.Though not explicitly stated, the implication was crystal clear.Sylvester's eyes widened in disbelief; the revelation that Mr. Singers was willing to pass his legacy to an unknown like Andrea left him reeling.He had always assumed that Agatha would succeed him, so this unexpected turn of events left him seething with anger. "Singers, you've lost your mind! This is sheer madness," he muttered involuntarily.Mr. Singers didn't linger to converse further; instead, he grasped Andrea's hand and guided her along the red carpet.As they walk

"Mrs. Singers, this way," the waiter said, gesturing towards the restroom area. Andrea didn't question Anne's words due to her status.Andrea opened and closed her mouth, unable to utter a word.

"Anne, she went to the toilet. How embarrassing," one of them remarked.Another friend asked Anne, "What are you going to do to her?"Anne's smile appeared innocent, but a fierce glint flashed in her eyes as she replied, "What do you mean? She just went to use the toilet."Anne's friends exchanged knowing glances and smiled.Following the waiter to the restroom area, Andrea stopped at the doorway leading to the female restroom. The waiter said, "Mrs. Singers, this way.""Thank you," Andrea responded in a nearly whispered voice before stepping inside.After the waiter departed, Andrea decided not to return immedia

Valentine realized who had rescued Pete, and his eyes burned with anger."Pete!" Andrea cried out in surprise and joy, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Seeing this, Andrea was shocked and deeply disappointed. Her heart shattered into a million pieces as tears streamed down her face. Her lips trembled as she asked in disbelief, "Val, you—"She didn't know what to say, feeling suffocated as the air in the room seemed to press down on her. She shut her eyes in pain, tears continuing to roll down her cheeks."Andrea, if you want Pete to stay alive, marry me tomorrow morning. I'll be waiting for you at the church. If you fail to show up, don’t blame me for being ruthless." With that, Valentine Anderson turned on his heel and strode out of the room.Andrea collapsed to the floor, bursting into tears.

Lucas frowned; he hadn't expected Tony to scold him so furiously."Has he been knocked silly by the kick just now?" Lucas pondered.While mulling it over, he retorted coldly, "You've gone insane."After speaking, he turned to re-enter the house, but Tony stubbornly said, "I won't leave until you explain how you are Pete's father."Lucas was irritated by Tony's words, his eyebrows furrowing with impatience. He glared coldly and replied, "I'm not in the mood to talk nonsense with you. You’re probably drunk or drugged; that's why you're spouting this nonsense."Lucas didn't take Tony's accusation to heart at all. To him, it was utterly nonsensical and unreasonable.Gritting his teeth with clenched fists, Tony took a step forward, but he didn't rush to attack. He wasn't a masochist and feared another vicious kick from Lucas, whose martial arts skills were too good for him to compete with.Sneering, Tony cursed unhappily, "I'm not drunk. It's you and your family who are drunk and on drugs.

Tony suggested, "Andrea, why don't we go to the hospital and get the results? That might be better."After thinking it over, Andrea agreed. They left the Presidential Hotel and drove to the hospital. When they arrived, Andrea's doctor, Doctor Kone, was already in his office waiting for them."Mrs. Singers, I thought you might not need the DNA test results, but just in case, I kept them safe. Here they are," Doctor Kone said, extending an envelope towards her.With trembling hands, Andrea took it. Nervous, she forgot to thank Doctor Kone and immediately pulled the DNA test slip from the envelope.As she read the paper, her pupils dilated in disbelief. She looked at Doctor Kone, stunned. "Doctor Kone, does this mean they have a father-son relationship?"While Andrea was knowledgeable about the data, nothing seemed to make sense to her.Doctor Kone, who had supervised the test, was aware of the final result. Without hesitation, he confirmed, "Yes, they are father and son."Tony, sitting

Agatha fell silent, pondering over Andrea's words. After a moment of consideration, she asked tentatively, "Andrea, do you want to marry him?"Andrea remained silent for a full minute, seriously contemplating the question. Finally, she shook her head resolutely. "I don't want to."Agatha nodded seriously and began to advise, "If you don't—"Just then, Andrea's secretary opened the door, interrupting their conversation. Both women turned their heads toward her.Realizing her mistake, the secretary quickly spoke up. "Ma'am Andrea, your husband is here to see you, and he sounded very urgent."Andrea was surprised to hear that Valentine had come to the company, as Lucas had never visited while they were living together as husband and wife.Agatha urged Andrea, "Go ahead, I'll finalize what we discussed."Andrea nodded, stood up, and followed her secretary. She saw Valentine sitting in the waiting lounge, his palms covered in bandages. When he saw her, he sprang to his feet, smiling sweetl

Valentine Anderson drove directly to the hospital, having already called his personal doctor. Arriving, Doctor Steve was taken aback to see that the man who had just spoken to him on the phone looked different from the Valentine Anderson he remembered."It's me, Steve. I need your help," Valentine said as he noticed Doctor Steve staring at him in silence.Though Doctor Steve was quiet, his mind was racing. He knew Valentine had been a bomb victim, and recent news reports had mentioned him, though Steve had dismissed them as baseless rumors. Now, seeing Valentine looking exactly like the deceased Pascal Willow, he couldn't deny the reality anymore."Let's go to my office," Doctor Steve finally said, snapping out of his thoughts and quickly making a decision.They walked into the office together and sat down, facing each other.

The more Valentine Anderson stared intently at his phone screen, the tighter his grip on the device became. The DNA test analysis at the end revealed he shared only 25% of his DNA with Pete, indicating that he was Pete's uncle rather than his father."Impossible!" he bellowed, startling Housekeeper Win, whose pen slipped and drew a line across the paper she was writing on.Smoke seemed to billow from Valentine's ears as the vein on his forehead bulged with anger. He shoved the phone into his pocket, yanked off his apron, and stormed out of the kitchen, his expression dark.Housekeeper Win was so frightened that she opened her mouth several times to ask what was wrong but couldn't utter a word. Anxious and afraid he might head to Pete or Andrea's room to hurt one of them, she quickly followed him.But her fears were unfounded.
