The Ex-husband's Regret: CEO'S Ex-Wife Returns As Boss Chapter - [ 143 ]
[ Adeline ]“I want to have a child, Xav.” I finally expressed my wish to my husband and gauzed his reaction, he dropped the chopsticks down and gave me a clueless look.“What?” He asked me in a baffled tone, the frown between his brows forced me to regret my decision of expressing my wish to him who didn’t seem to ready for such life changing conversations after a hectic dinner.“Just forget it and let’s finish our food. The park is also about to be closed.” I tried to dodge the topic but his blank face made me even guiltier and somewhat angry on my impulsiveness. It wasn’t the right time or place for such discussions.“No, how can I forget that my wife asked me to have a child.” He said placing his tray on the bench.I looked down at my lap in embarrassment. I should have waited a little longer.“Hey, look at me, Ade. I know you haven’t blurted it like that. We need to talk about it. So, just tell me why do you say that you want to have a child?” He insisted me to share my thoughts

[ Xavier ]I felt elated, actually on the top of the world when Adeline expressed her wish of having our child. I hadn’t to ask her, my wife herself gave me a reason to love her even more. “What are you thinking, my love?” Adeline’s sweet voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I tilted my head to her side and shook my head.“We narrow escaped the watchmen, just imagine what might happen if they caught us in the middle of our act.” I teased her.“I told you that it was the real fun.” She grinned.“I think tonight we should rest. Tomorrow is going to be a hectic day for all of us.” I said and our feet halted in the foyer of our house.“Everything happens for a reason, Xav and I am sure Arnold has seen something coming up. He is trying to protect all of us.” She said. I could see relief in her eyes as tomorrow, I and Emily will file for a divorce.My father has the best attorney at his service and it’d not be a big problem for us to finalize the divorc

[ Arthur ]How could my own father do this to me?He left nothing for me, instead he is forcing me to work like a servant under my stepbrother and my ex-wife. I hate them both with my guts but my father failed to see the efforts I had taken over the years to make him proud me so he sees me as successful and smart as Xavier but for him, only his elder son has the abilities to continue the family legacy and make him even prouder.“I am going to kill you, Xavier!” I screamed and chugged the empty bottle on the ground. It shattered into pieces and reflected the light.“Arthur, what are you doing? You could have hurt yourself. You stupid boy.” My mother who rushed inside the room, scolded me.I lifted my drowsy eyelids to glance at her who was shaking her head in disappointment. I tried to stand on my feet but fell back again.“Come on, Arthur. Why the hell did you drink this much? You have to use your brain more than before because we’re on the brink of losing everything that we had been

[ Adeline ]“Good morning, baby. You slept till late. You usually never sleep this late?” Mom asked me kissing my cheek as I sat down for the breakfast.“Yes, Mom, today I want to be recharged. It’s a very important day for me and for my marriage.” I told her with excitement, last night, I slept peacefully because I trust my husband and I know he’d not back out from his promises.“I guess your husband is taking you out.” Mom gave me a teasing look. I roamed my eyes to spot Xavier but he hadn’t come for the breakfast.“Your husband left very early in the morning. I was up for my morning yoga routine. I asked him what made him leave this early but he said that he’d be back by nine.” Mom said as she observed me.It shocked me to the core. Xavier usually doesn’t leave without telling me unless it’s urgent and I am not available.“Hey baby, please, don’t be sad. He must have a reason. You can ask him when he comes home.” Mom tried to cheer up my mood.“Maybe it’s an emergency.” I shook my

[ Adeline ]“Mrs. Williamson you had to call me now. Just perfect.” I sighed and rubbed my forehead. Mrs. Williamson asked me to meet her to discuss the progress on the event and she’s someone whom I can’t ignore.I had to locate Xavier whose phone was also switched off. I felt torn apart.“Thank God! You’re here.”I heard Xavier’s voice and it made me turn swiftly to face him. He was panting hard to catch his breath. His eyes flickered on me and in the next moment, he engulfed me in his arms. I breathed into his scent and immediately my worries flew in the air.“Xavier, please breathe and relax. I am not running away.” I said rubbing his back.He broke the hug and looked at me, his eyes reflected many emotions but fear was dominant in those orbs.“I am sorry, I left in a hurry in the morning but it was an emergency. I felt terrible because I didn’t inform you.” He kept saying making me even more confused.“Calm down, Xav and tell me everything in detail.” I said holding his hand to c

[ Adeline ]Nervousness was pooling in my heart as we waited outside the court building for Emily who hadn’t showed up for the divorce settlement. Xavier was calm because he didn’t know the real face of his innocent Emily.“The proceeding will start in fifteen minutes, Xavier. Where is she?” I finally asked him as my patience ran low with her.“The car must be stuck in the traffic.’ He said.I said nothing further. All I wanted to drag her here and shove the pen in her hand and force her to sign the papers.“I am done with this woman.” I cursed under my breath and stormed away to clear my head.“Adeline, please stop. Don’t make this more difficult for us. I have sent my driver and bodyguard to bring her here safely.” He shouted from behind but my mood was too spoiled to pay him any heed.“Adeline, please try to understand.” He said again but this time in a defeated tone.I was tired of reaching to the same point every time I think it was going to be over.He didn’t come after me and I

[ Xavier ]For a moment, I couldn’t believe what I just heard from Emily. She actually demanded alimony, it wasn’t like I wouldn’t give her anything but again…I never expected it from her who was looking straight at the officer, I blinked my eyes to confirm that it was just a hallucination of my eyes.“Very well, Miss Jones, you can demand anything under the law of the state from Mr. Linwood and which isn’t beyond his income and financial status. You can submit the written request tomorrow at two pm. We’ll follow the further procedure after reviewing your demands and we if we can summon Mr. Linwood to give you what you want. For now, congratulations. I congratulate you both to find your own ways.” The officer said in a dismissive tone.“Everything is going to be fine, love.” Adeline softly whispered in my ear and rubbed my palms to give me comfort.“Ma’am, with due respect, I want to file a lawsuit against Ms. Jones who has demanded the alimony after she signed on the agreement paper

[ Adeline ]I couldn’t believe how quickly Emily changed her colours and tried to give Xavier a silent warning. I am scared to think what could she possibly ask in alimony. I don’t care if she demands everything we own, I just want her out of Xavier’s life forever.“What are you thinking, my love?” My husband asked me while stroking my hairs gently as we cuddled on the couch, enjoying the weather outside, the sky turned grey all of a sudden and the rainfall from the balcony of our room was a heavenly sight.“Nothing, I don’t think we can go out tonight. Look at the weather, I don’t think it’d stop anytime soon.” I said hiding my original thoughts, he was already going through mental and emotional turbulence, I didn’t want to give him another reason to stress out himself.He smiled and pulled me more closer, I can die for his beautiful smile, “I don’t care if we watch a movie in the theatre or on the couch in the living room, everything and every place is perfect for me if you’re with

[ Adeline ]“Good morning, sleepy head. It’s nine in the morning and our little devils are waiting for their mom to wake up.” I heard my husband’s husky voice in my ear and lazily I opened my eyes. His beautiful eyes looked more intense in the bright sunlight which was peeking through the window.I cupped his face and brought him close to peck his forehead, “Good morning, love. It’s not my fault that I slept till this late.” I said and threw my arms around his torso.“Don’t blame me, you look ravishing in red and black and it’s been a week since I last had you.” He defended himself.“Now, it’s my fault?” I raised my brows while he took me to the bathroom and placed me on the countertop. He applied toothpaste on my brush and gave it to me.“Thanks, love. You can leave now. I’ll join you and our sons in fifteen minutes.” I said but he remained there.“What?” I gave him a confused look.“I won’t mind taking another shower with my sexy wife who’s looking more ravishing with my marks on he

[ Xavier ]The day of the judgement has finally come. I held my wife’s hand tightly, it was a silent promise that no matter what happens today, I’d stick by her side and we’ll start a new journey together today. The trial was in progress, my lawyers were doing their best to prove Emily and Linda guilty but I didn’t think Linda would get imprisonment, her mental health worsened after the death of her son. She couldn’t believe that he was actually gone.It was more severe punishment, she’d live the rest of her life in this pain and denial. Speaking of Emily, she remained silent throughout the hearing. Her family didn’t show up as they were hiding themselves from the law but her brother testified against her.We also brought the father of her ex-boyfriend in Cananda to solidify a murder case against her.“We’re going to win this case, Xav.” Adeline whispered to me.“I don’t doubt that. I am thinking where should we go to celebrate this day, just you and me.” I gave her a side glance.“Le

[ Adeline ]“Yes, Addison. You look pale, maybe sick. What’s the matter?” I asked my sister with a raised brow while Adam was busy playing with the house staff. I told Xavier not to come out because he and Addison still don’t look into eyes.She looked here and there, the coffee I served her was still untouched. She was tapping her foot on the floor, which does it whenever she’s nervous.“Look, we both aren’t very close, I get it but it has a brighter side. You don’t expect me to judge you or give you advise, you just want to talk, then talk. I am listening.” I said to ease her and she looked up.“But you must promise me that you won’t tell Mom or anyone else.” She said and I was shocked, she was requesting me.“If you have doubts on me then don’t tell me. I didn’t ask you to come to me.” I said in a little annoyed tone, blame my imbalanced hormones.“I didn’t mean in that way.” She tried to justify and a tensed silence sprawled between us.“Addison, if you are seeing yourself on a cr

[ Adeline ]“Hey, I told you not to move much. Your wound is healed but it doesn’t mean that you’d be walking and running here and there like this.” I reprimanded my husband who was watering the plants in our balcony.“Ade, don’t treat me like a patient anymore. It’s been four weeks and my wound is completely healed. In fact, you should take care of yourself now.” He said turning to face me.“Yes, you’re right but I am taking care of myself, Mr. Linwood. You should worry about yourself. The doctors advised you to avoid pressure on your muscles for next two months. Take it seriously, Xav. You’ll be a father very soon and this kind of behaviour isn’t appreciative from any angle.” I reminded him and on the mention of his baby, his eyes sparkled.He walked briskly towards me and caged me in between his arms, “I still can’t believe that we’re going to have a baby in next seven months. Our boy or girl will be with us to add more happiness in our world.” He said, his smile said a lot than he

[ Adeline ]“Linda, how are you?” I spoke over the microphone and her screaming stopped.“Emily, I hope your leg is healing now. It’s a long time since we met and I am feeling very elated to see you both. I hope you’re being treated well.” I said.“Adeline, you bitch! You coward whore, if you have guts, come in front of me.” Linda sneered and yelled at the cameras.For the first time, I witnessed her losing her temperament and it showed how vulnerable she was. Emily’s eyes moved on the camera as well but she didn’t express anything.“Linda, don’t shout, you’re making it hard for Emily to survive with you.” I said.“You’re enjoying this right? Just remember, if anything happens to me, my son will destroy you and that bastard.” Linda screamed.“I am sorry, Linda but your son can’t do anything now or ever.” I said and suddenly the two sided mirror became transparent and now, she could see me.Her eyes turned dark and she marched towards the glass.“I am going to kill you, Adeline Greyson

[ Adeline ]“What you both did inside? It was ridiculous.” I reprimanded Travis when doctors told us to leave his ward when they came to examine him and proceed with his shift to the hospital which was financed by the Linwood company.“It’s simple, we don’t trust the staff here because we don’t know them. What if his security is breached again by any insider? And what if this news leaks in the media, the damage will be beyond repair and all the suspicion will be pointed on Xavier. The investigation is on full swing and we need to keep low profile until the case is closed.” Travis explained and I thought he was right.“His wounds are fresh, I am afraid if he gets hurt while moving in an ambulance.” I expressed my concern.“Don’t worry, they are the latest technology, bumps on the roads can’t be felt and the best paramedic team will be with him and the route is only of twenty minutes at night time.” Travis assured me and I hoped everything happens smoothly.“Travis, can I ask you for a

[ Xaiver ]“I’m pregnant, Xavier.”These three words sent my mind into frenzy. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming after waking up and it could be the effect of medicines but when she kissed my forehead and placed my hand on her flat belly, my whole world stopped.I was numb to react and unable to process anything. She told me that we’re about to have a baby, our baby. I am going to be a father and when I just narrowly escaped death.The history might repeat itself once again. I could have lost my wife and another child if it wasn’t my fate and the God’s blessings.“Please, say something, Xavier. Your silence isn’t good.” I heard her wavered voice and when I met her eyes, I could see insecurities and many questions.“I can’t kiss you, how horrible a situation can be? I’m going to be a father and I am hearing this news on a hospital bed, with a hole in my stomach. I am overwhelmed, Ade.” I spoke the truth as I was still trying to wrap my mind around this news.“I can understand, Xav

[ Adeline ]“Hey, love. Wake up. See, I am here, your Adeline.” I whispered to the sleeping figure of my husband but he was in a deep sleep under the effect of the medicines. My hands ached to touch him but I was scared of hurting him. His abdomen was wrapped in bandages.I hadn’t left his side since I came back to the hospital with Grandma. Eventually, I had to tell her everything. Sooner or later, she’ll find out so hiding from her wasn’t an option. She took everything really patiently, even the death of her other grandson who wanted to kill her elder grandson. She expressed no remorse for his death.She wanted to come with me to the hospital but I insisted her to stay home and promised to bring her to the hospital once he gains his consciousness.“Xavier, I have to tell you something. I also got to know an hour ago but this is really an amazing news but you have to wake up first because I want to see your reaction when I tell you this.” I talked to him in a hope that he was listeni

[ Adeline ]Hours passed, perhaps the dawn rolled on but we didn’t hear anything from the doctors yet, they just kept rushing out and again going inside with medicines and other supplies, they refused to answer anything and it grew my fear even more. I couldn’t wrap my mind around this sudden halt in my life.“Here, have this or you’ll fall sick, Adeline.” Travis offered me coffee but I refused by shaking my head negatively.“No, I am fine but thanks, Travis.” I tried to smile but failed.He sighed and sat down on the vacant chair beside me.“I can’t feel the depth of your pain and fears, Adeline because I haven’t seen someone I love in this situation but I am here for you and Xavier, always and I know my friend, he won’t like if he learn that you tortured yourself. So, for Xavier, have some coffee. He is under the best care and we’d shift him to the best hospital in the city once his condition stabilizes and the doctors approve his shift.” He said and again tried to make me have the
