The CEO’s Ex Wife Returns With A Baby 140
She snapped to reality, blew her nose, and took two backward steps. "Sorry, Jude, I didn't expect you to stop suddenly." Carefully turning to face her again, Jude remarked, "It doesn't matter, as long as it does not hurt." Naturally, it didn't hurt. Once they took a seat, Jude placed a large order for her favorite dishes. She sighed in appreciation of the man's consideration and care, but she also started to feel bad. She consistently believed that she shouldn't eat supper with him. Upon further reflection, though, she realized that they were merely eating and that she had no reason to feel bad about it. When the hot fish was presented, these thoughts vanished. She was a big fan of spicy seafood, but she never ate with anyone. She had not eaten it for years, but when she smelled it, it was familiar, even though she couldn't finish it herself. "I haven't had this in a long time, but are you able to handle spicy food?" she asked, grinning as she placed a piece of fish in the d

After over thirty minutes, Stella and Jude left the restaurant after finishing their meal, walking past Riley’s room on their way out. Riley saw this and snatched up her luggage to follow. Acting like a thief, she followed them, pulled out her phone, took another picture, and then hid once again. She followed them to the parking lot, where she shot numerous pictures. Stella abruptly stopped and turned to look behind her. Jude came to a halt. "What's wrong?" Stella said after glancing around the deserted parking lot, "Why do I feel like someone is following us?" After hearing it, Jude turned to face the empty space and mumbled, "There is no one." Was it incorrect? Stella thought she could be mistaken after hearing that. "Maybe I was wrong." "Leave now and head home. It's becoming later. Clare will not tolerate your tardiness." With his hand on the automobile, Jude opened the door. Riley pulled out her phone to record this scene while hiding in a corner and panting as

the upcoming half-year? He didn't know what she was talking about at first, but a second later it dawned on him that she was referring to the contract they had signed. Clarence then uttered the harsh words while furious, "You still remember that agreement?" She was standing with his back to her. She clearly shuddered when she heard that, and a second later, she nodded. How could she have forgotten that deal? They had drawn an impenetrable barrier with that pact, and as long as it remained in place, she would force herself to stop falling in love with him. "So you're mad at me about the agreement?" Clarence’s tone lightened as if he realized something. “No." Clarence’s heart stopped glowing when Stella said those words. His once-bright eyes now grew dull, the surroundings growing black, and hundreds of stars all of a sudden hidden in clouds. She could feel the chill in the air around her and felt the man's breath grow icy behind her. She immediately lay down, having already

She felt for a long time that her body belonged to someone else. He had total control over her body sensation; at last, she lay prone over his body in a trance. With a depressing smile, he pulled it out, seized her in his arms, and pushed her toward the quilt. Now, he had a playboy's appearance. "Stella, your body is really lewd." She was so exhausted that she closed her eyes unconsciously when her back contacted the plush comforter, but then she heard Clarence’s cold voice. She felt as though cold water had been poured all over her body in the winter, forcing her to become sober from head to toe. When Stella opened her eyes, Clarence grinned sardonically. She looked at him regretfully as she suddenly froze and grabbed the quilt to conceal her body. Clarence encircled her chin with a pinch. She tried to break free, but she was unable. All she could do was look at him. "I'll check on your physique every night; take careful care of it. Should I discover that you are unfaithful

“ Release me! Shawn, don't you think that questioning me like this is absurd? Since the day you married me, you have been with your mistress, who was also carrying a child. When we got divorced, she was going to give birth, right? Are you still this bold as to ask me a question now? Look at this!" The list fell out of Stella’s hands, and she scoffed, saying, "I am pregnant and had an affair within marriage." Shawn gave her a bewildered look. He didn't seem to anticipate her saying that! "Why?" "Are you the only one to have an affair in the marriage?" She asked with a sneer and a strong frigid expression. "You!" Shawn gestured toward her. "Stop it.” She said, clapping away his fingers. “It's not just you who can accomplish this. Never again follow me." After saying that, Stella turned to walk away. Shawn did not follow this time. Presumably taken aback, he stood for a considerable amount of time before gathering his thoughts. “Never feel bad about cheating on me, sh*t. Ste

Stella didn't have time to consider things. Who took those pictures and sent them to Clarence troubled her more now. When she went outside yesterday after having hot pot with Jude, she saw nobody. She then sensed that someone was trailing them, though. Her sixth sense did not function as she had anticipated. It seemed like someone was actually pursuing her. However, who was it? For what reason did the photographer provide Clarence the photos? "What are you thinking about?" John gazed at her naively, blinking her eyes. Though Stella had not seen him in a while, she was now alone and had no one to confide in. She would die of rage if she held back any longer. "Tell me, what kind of person would harm you in general?" was all she could say. John rolled his eyes at Stella after hearing that, saying, "Your inquiry is silly. Those who are envious of you, of course! or the person you threatened out of curiosity!" Stella choked. That was logical. "Are you ready for this? What's the

“Since when are subordinates allowed to negotiate with their superiors?" Clarence could not wait. She grated her teeth and gripped her bag, saying, "I could never finish sorting those materials, even if I worked overtime. Is it possible for me to bring them home?" She had conceded. "No." Clarence , however, maintained her pose without moving. Stella, what could she say? She believed she could see Riley the following day. Considering this, she walked toward her post without saying anything. She didn't need to persuade anyone—she could work overtime. Joseph had shoved Clarence out of the way while Stella reclined on her perch. Following his departure, Stella pulled out her cell phone and texted Riley, suggesting that she might stay and that they should get together another day. Riley contacted her two minutes after the message was sent. "What's happening? Today was our appointment. Why make such a quick change?" Riley seemed nervous, uncomfortable in her speech. She decided

Riley was proud of her intelligence and did not feel guilty about it at the moment. Reminding Stella that the food was going cold, she puckered her lips and spoke. “We will end work early after I sort the materials with you." Don't blame me for putting you and Clarence apart, Stella. Clarence is not the same kind person that you are, and sticking with him won't make you happy. I believe Jude is a better fit for you if he treats you with genuine kindness and doesn't mind your identity, so please allow me to be with him! "No need, I appreciate you bringing me some food. After you finish your dinner, return." Stella gave her a smile. Riley though, insisted on staying. Stella could only consent to her assistance. They continued to labor until ten o'clock at night. Riley asked her if they might stop here as she peered at the deserted building. “First, let's go back. I could give you a ride back." Stella looked at her watch and saw that it was getting close to 10 o'clock. She could

185 By the time Stella opened her eyes, she felt so weak that she was unable to stand up. Glancing up, she saw everyone looking at her and it then it dawned on her what took place before. “It’s alright Stella, the police has taken Kelvin and his accomplice away.” Clarence said as Stella froze in fear. “Clarence I..” Stella wanted to talk but she wept instead. She had been so scared thinking Kelvin succeeded in taking advantage of her before dozing off, but now that Clarence had told her that Kelvin got caught, she heaved a sign of relived. Clarence then held her arms and said, “in the past I used to believe that you had only become a substitute bride and got married to me because of my money, and I hated you for that. But now I know the reason why you got married to me in the first place. I also accused you of seducing men, and did other things to test you and see if you’ll truly pass my test and you did,” “So But today, I want to reveal the secret that I had kept a long t

184 "You can't get away." Kelvin put his hand on hers and held her slender wrist. It was vulgar because he dropped his with deliberateness. "Everyone is at the banquet, and there will be more fantastic events following the swimming competition. Nobody is going to come save you, not even if you flee. Accepting me will ensure that I treat you gently." "Let me go!" Stella gave him a firm handshake and took a few backward steps. What had gone wrong with her? Why did her hands and legs lack strength? Her beautiful cheeks were growing redder and redder as she stared at her shaking fingers. She felt as though a constant stream of hot air was emerging from her stomach. It was recognizable. Just like the time Flynn took her away and locked her in the room! Was she drugged once more? The instant this thought crossed her mind, she became desperate. “I tried to convince you to be with me, Stella, but you refused, so I had to do this, you know. I really enjoy you. I promise that no

With a blush on his face, Zach candidly explained to Stella. “Zach Filler is my name, and I am FIL Group's only son. Playing baseball and racing are my pastimes. I'd like to become friends with you." Stella, "........ John, "..." Riley pouted and uttered a sardonic, "FIL Group? Who believe you to be? Do you want to become our friends? Examine your deservingness." Everyone's face changed at the words. Zach looked at Riley , his face going pale and him frozen in place. Even though Stella didn't want to listen to him, she glanced at Riley in shock because she found Riley’s remarks to be too harsh and unbelievable. Riley believed she had a lot of respect since she came into the Red family. She was always haughty and in charge. People dared not touch her because she was true to herself. She always pretended to be a refined lady in front of Stella, but when she saw Zach, she forgot. Riley gave a gentle grin as she considered this. "Lala, I apologize for what I said. I simply p

The game started shortly after the minutes passed. Many girls applied for the girl competition after learning that the winner would receive surprise awards. Nara and Lily both applied for it. They returned and noticed Stella sitting there, so they had to come over and say a few snarky things. “This guy is new to our department, right? Why remain in a daze here?" “Yes, how about entering the competition? People such as yourself shouldn't be the most forceful, right?” With a fixed gaze, John asked, "What do you want?" "Nothing, just to see her." "Are you sure you won't apply for it?" Staring at Stella, Lily questioned. Stella gave her a quick glance. "Is there a rule that I must attend?" "You!" Lily felt enraged. At first, she believed there was a chance to hurt her, but she decided not to take part. “How much does it concern you if she chooses not to participate? You are welcome to participate. With all the others, why even bother?" John furiously stared at the two w

With this thought in mind, Stella closed her eyes and gazed silently at the glistening water. "Sorry, I didn't think that much..." Riley gave a mortifying little smile. With a snort and a mumble about having a lousy idea, John turned to face Stella and behaving like an antipath. "Charge up your phone so we can take pictures later when they are in competition." Riley asked as she had an epiphany, "Will everyone be present when the competition is on?" "Yes, everyone will come, and there will be judges," John said with a nod. "Are only men allowed to compete?" John turned to face Riley and asked, "What do you mean?" "I mean, men can compete, so can we girls." With a brilliant light in her eyes, Joh said, "Yes, but... They didn't make such arrangements and girls couldn't attend." "Isn't that easy?" Riley grinned, reached across to take Stella’s arm, and waved to him nearby, "Mr. Jude!" Riley’s cry caught other people's attention, and Jude turned to face her. His eyes were

Clarence gave her a feral look as he stared. She bit her lip and squinted, saying, "No!" "Do you want to walk around dressed like that?" Her neck was long and fair; she straightened her waist and lifted her chin slightly. "This is how everyone dresses. Why isn't one able to? Since you consider me to be a wantonly woman and you dislike whatever I wear. So why should it matter to me what you think?" Clarence scowled. After saying these things, she turned around and walked away, carefully lowering the shawl to reveal her lovely shoulders. Joseph says, "....." She had a tiger on her back! Clarence’s hands were clinched into fists, and his breath turned chilly. He cast a sardonic glance at that mysterious figure. "Mr. Conrad..... Shall we... bring Mrs. Conrad back?" stammered Joseph , standing behind him. "Who gave you permission to call her that?" "Did I make a mistake?" Joseph asked, swallowing a mouthful of spittle anxiously. When he addressed her as Mrs. Conrad in fron

"Zach Filler, enough. Do you think she is an ordinary woman? She stands together with Miss Red," Zavi remarked. “We can't afford to provoke her, even though she might be a group member's kid." They were a bunch of mostly womanizing individuals. They only played with ladies who lacked wealth and influence since those things could always be resolved with money. They followed regulations. They did not play with wealthy ladies, in contrast to Flynn Andrew, who, as you may recall, "got destroyed by playing with rich women." Although the Andrew Group held significant power in B City, it was eventually eliminated. “ How come we haven't seen her previously if she was a group member's daughter? It was an unknown group, even though she is." "Simple, investigate her." Stella located a seat and wrapped the shawl snugly around her. Riley could not resist making fun of her. What makes you so timid? The purpose of the clothing was to be worn and displayed to others. What is the cover art fo

That final comment seemed almost like a question. Stella had never seen Riley so dominant that she wasn't sure if her feelings were justified. After some while, Stella gave her a look. "Ri, what's wrong with you?" After hearing that, Riley abruptly regained consciousness and realized she was overexcited. She scoffed, dropped her eyes, and shook her head. "What's the matter with me? I have revealed the truth to you. Why? I'm hoping you can leave this situation as quickly as possible. But even though he was directly in front of you, you were too afraid to acknowledge or even speak about it. I wonder if you like Clarence, but I'm not sure what's on your mind." "Actually... I don't know." Stella’s cast her gaze down, gloomy. "I don't think I should like him, but..." Riley worried when she saw her entangled. Was her admiration for Clarence genuine? "However, what? Do you not see that? He's not at all fond of you." Riley realized she had said something unguarded and regretted

Holding a box, Stella stood at the company's door, waiting for Riley. Riley unlocked Clarence’s car and shoved him down as it came to a halt. With a smile, she asked, "Lala, what is your hand?" Stella experienced a vision similar to a sharp knife striking her body as she spoke. Clarence’s sight was as horrifying as a deadly serpent, causing her to shrink backward and clutch the box firmly in her breast. Clarence saw this as a subliminal action, yet she still treated the box as a prize. She had nothing when she got in the car, but when she got out, she had a box. What was meant by that? What a considerate woman, oh. "Nothing." Riley smiled, moved closer to Stella, and shoved Clarence forward as Stella clutched the bag tightly and said. Stella could feel Clarence’s icy breath all over her. She retreated a step, attempting to pull herself from the embrace of his icy breath. “Is that a gift from Jude, Stella? You entered the automobile without bringing this box?" Stella’s fac
