The Ex-Wife Guide: Mr. Fergerson Persists On Lavish Affection Chapter 1017 How Have I Never Realized What A Sweet Talker You Are
Caleb’s plane landed in Imperial City the next morning. He did not ask anyone to pick him up, nor did he leave the airport with Finn. Instead, he called Penny. “I’m at the airport now. Can you come pick me up?” Though he seemed to be asking if she could come pick him up, he spoke in a tone that was telling her to hurry up. However, Penny was not the one who had answered the phone. She was in a meeting and had left her phone with Winona. Winona felt anger bubbling within her when she heard his voice. What gave him the right to speak so matter-of-factly? Her voice turned cool and distant. “Ms. Sullivan is in a meeting that will last till the afternoon, Mr. Fergerson.” Caleb’s brows knitted themselves together. He felt slightly disappointed but did not say much else. He called Sebastian and asked him to pick him up. Right then, he received a call from Winston asking if he had heard the rumors. “What rumors?” “It’s about Penny. They’re saying she has a first love.”
The Ex-Wife Guide: Mr. Fergerson Persists On Lavish Affection Chapter 1018 Yet, Others Could Not Help Feeling Tenderhearted Toward Him
Penny lay down with him, still moving her body stiffly. When she could hear soft snores ringing in her ears, she knew Caleb had fallen asleep. His arms were still wrapped around her tightly, and his chin was placed on her shoulder. He was fast asleep. Penny looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and gazed at the sunny scenery outside. A wave of sadness washed over her as she did so. Caleb was not a nice person. He had a terrible temper and was always angry. He also treated outsiders with a frosty attitude. Yet, others could not help feeling tenderhearted toward him. It was especially apparent when he let his guard down because that was even more heart-wrenching.Penny did not say anything else as she closed her eyes quietly. She had spent the entire night agonizing over the marks on her body and had not gotten any sleep at all. Now, she felt at ease as she felt herself being enveloped by his aura. The two cuddled against each other and fell asleep on that two-seater co

She abruptly reached her arms out and wrapped them around her neck. “Caleb.” Caleb was still standing by the car then, and he felt his heart melting as she hugged him. “You’ve become much more clingy this time round, Penny.” That idiot. Penny did not say anything and merely released him. Caleb stood by the car and did not bother closing the passenger’s door. He held her face in his hands and gazed at her for a whole minute before bending forth to kiss her on the lips. “I’m just trying to trust you, Penpen.” Penny froze when she heard that. Then, he kissed her once more. “My entire being feels at ease when I hold you in my arms. I should trust you now that we’ve gotten together, right? I don’t want you getting into any more accidents.” He closed the door, a dark look settling in his eyes. “I don’t care if you met your first love or not, but you should have set boundaries since you had already admitted your feelings for me. I won’t hold what happened in the past
The Ex-Wife Guide: Mr. Fergerson Persists On Lavish Affection Chapter 1020 He’s In A Relationship
Caleb had never been in a relationship. After Penny kissed him, he could not stop smiling as he entered the elevator. Sebastian stood beside him, trying his best to turn himself invisible. Caleb ignored him and continued grinning as he walked into his office. All the members of the board of directors felt like he was glowing during the morning meeting.So much had happened to Fergerson Corporation recently, and everyone, especially those who had recently been promoted, were on tenterhooks. Caleb had left the last meeting before it ended. They were all worried he was dissatisfied with their performance. However, he spent the entire meeting speaking in an extremely gentle voice. Everyone waited until Caleb had entered his office before they crowded around Sebastian. “Has Mr. Fergerson received good news recently?”“Exactly. I thought I was doomed when I accidentally reported the wrong numbers, but he merely corrected me briefly before asking me to go on. If this had happene
The Ex-Wife Guide: Mr. Fergerson Persists On Lavish Affection Chapter 1021 The Point Isn’t Whether He Likes Me Or Not
He angrily hung up the phone, and Khloe's questioning voice rang out."It seems you and Penny have a good relationship, Sean."Sean sat down beside her."Khlo, you can tell by Caleb's arrogant tone that he doesn't like you. He already has someone he likes, so why are you still meddling?"Khloe coldly smirked, her lips slowly pursing."The point isn't whether he likes me or not, Sean. It's whether I want him or not. If you won't help, I'll ask Ethan for help."Sean frowned, knowing that their eldest brother would unconditionally support Khloe. With Wind by her side, it would be easy for her to take Penny's life."Sean, it seems that you're also charmed by that woman. Just leave. I won't ask for your help anymore."Hearing this, Sean felt a sense of loss. After all, Khloe was the darling of the family and had a weak heart, so everyone pampered her."Have you taken your medicine? Didn't Wind say you're not well? Shall I feed you your medicine?"He grabbed the medicine from the c
The Ex-Wife Guide: Mr. Fergerson Persists On Lavish Affection Chapter 1022 Why Would I Break Up With You?
The two had just started dating. Plus, aside from their intimate moments in bed before that, they had not really engaged in other activities typical of couples.Penny was still getting used to the sudden shift in their relationship status.She had never dated anyone before, always rejecting other men due to that beautiful promise she was previously holding onto.Then, after marrying Caleb, she lived like a widow for three years while maintaining distance from other men.Even half an hour before Caleb's arrival, she had been looking up date spots for couples.Nonetheless, she had been extremely busy lately. Aside from meals, she had no time for activities like watching movies.Caleb approached her from behind, bending over to embrace her. Seeing her computer screen filled with dense data, he sighed."You're really hardworking."When he praised her like a child, Penny felt a secret sense of shame and an indescribable satisfaction in her heart.Women would not ask for much. They
The Ex-Wife Guide: Mr. Fergerson Persists On Lavish Affection Chapter 1023 Please Don’t Break Up With Me
"Penny, when I first slept with you, I thought you had a husband. Am I so naive to think that you and your husband had never had sex? The first time we were together after I returned to the country, I wondered if it was your first time. "You admitted yourself that you were married, so, of course, I assumed you had been with your husband many times. But that didn't conflict with my desire to be with you. My sense of morality is clearly not that strong."He held her hand for a long time before speaking, "I was angry in the past because I thought you were promiscuous. That idea was preconceived in my mind, so in my view, your entanglements with other men seemed voluntary. "It made me feel insignificant in your heart, so, of course, I got angry."Caleb had never spoken these words to anyone. He lowered his eyelashes, gripping her hand tightly."It took me a long time to be sure of my feelings for you. Please don't break up with me."As soon as these words came out, Penny felt as if

He grabbed the menu and casually ordered a dish, but Caleb continued to speak from the side."I heard you're still single, Mr. Strauss. There should be a special set meal for single people here, right? If not, I can ask the head chef to add one."Sean slammed the menu down."Caleb, don't go too far!"Caleb raised an eyebrow, about to say something more irritating. However, Penny spoke first."Mr. Strauss, don't mind him. Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the deal we had before. I'm sorry for breaching our agreement, so I want to compensate you."Sean's gaze was fixed on Caleb.Meanwhile, Caleb leaned back, raising an eyebrow."Penpen, didn't we agree that I would compensate him?"Penny quietly pinched his thigh under the table, causing Caleb to almost cry out in pain.He turned to look at her, frowning in disapproval.Penny cleared her throat softly and then gently patted the spot she had pinched.He was immediately appeased by her touch.Sean was no fool. He could tell

Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a

Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig

Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still

Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int

Ethan patted her head and then noticed Sean's gaze shifting toward them."Sean?"Sean leaned back and remained silent, merely twirling his phone between his thumb and forefinger. His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled. "Ethan, you're being too serious right now."He left his phone behind and went upstairs.Khloe continued to sway Ethan's shoulders."Ethan, I had Wind take action against Penny tonight. This time, success is mandatory. Failure is not an option."Ethan's expression turned grave instantly. "Didn't I tell you not to act on your own?""But I nearly lost my life because of her, twice."After saying this, she touched the area over her heart, her complexion turning pale in a moment."Khlo?"This time, Khloe genuinely felt discomfort in her heart, and the next second, she fainted."Khlo!"Ethan was no longer concerned about reprimanding her and immediately took her to the hospital.…Tonight, the

Penny stood still for a while, feeling unsettled as she got back into the car.Firstly, it was due to her situation with Caleb. Secondly, it was because of Ethan's words. Was something about to happen?She looked up, intending to speak with Winona. However, she suddenly heard Winona's soft sobs.

"Ms. Sullivan.""Did your ex-boyfriend come looking for you again? Haven't you already paid him back? Won't his family let you be?""That’s not it.""Is it because he and that woman are getting married?
