The Ex-husband's Regret: CEO'S Ex-Wife Returns As Boss Chapter - [ 158 ]
[ Adeline ]Xavier took care of me like mother hen, he refused to leave my side even for a minute except when he had to attend a very important and unavoidable call. I received many wishes from my staff, Sandra came to visit me in the morning. I felt blessed to have such loving and caring people apart from toxicity. I am still wondering who wants to kill me. Well, the list is very long and they all hate me with their guts but Xavier has firm belief that it’s Arthur and Addison’s doing.“A got a call from my lawyer, he submitted a written application regarding our current situation and asked the court to give us some time and we managed to delay the final hearing until next week.” Xavier, who had been on the call with his lawyer for ten minutes, told me. He looked relieved.“It’s great to hear but it doesn’t mean that you won’t be going to the office. Today is an exception but I’d not appreciate if you avoid your work, Xavier. Your father has infused his trust in you and I do not want

[ Adeline ]“Alright, I think I should be leaving now. Take care, dear. I’ll keep updating you on the progress.” Mrs. Williamson said to me and left. Xavier escorted her out with respect. He came back with a blank expression. Clearly, he looked unpleased by my decision of allowing Addison to visit me whereas he didn’t want her anywhere near me.“Why this face now?” I asked him as his silence was agonizing for me.“Does it matter to you?’ He taunted me back and I bite my inner mouth to stop myself from cringing.“Please, stop it. I told you that it can’t be her. In fact, it’s not sure how long they’re going to remain in the marriage. Addison is planning to divorce him as soon as possible.” I told him what I learnt from Addison last night but his facial expressions conveyed that he didn’t believe me.A knock on the door put a pause on our one-sided conversation. Blaze sneaked inside.“Ms. Addison is here, Sir.” He informed.“Please, send her inside.” I said since I knew Xavier would ne

[ Xavier ]“Sir, you’ll be shocked when I’ll show you my discovery. So, prepare yourself because your relationships are purely based on deception and lies and this name will definitely give you shock.” Zach said who brought his investigation report on the given time.I folded my hands and gave him a bored look. He always creates dramatic effect.“Just give me the report and leave, you’ll receive your payment in your account.” I said.“Sir, I know you think that I love cracking jokes but this time I am also shocked and somewhere it’s a good news for you because there are concrete evidence against your enemies who wanted to remove Mrs. Linwood from their path just to bring you down.” He said and placed the folder in front of me.“You can leave now.” I said to dismiss him.“Sir, please allow me to stay here. In case, you want me to explain something.” He said while grinning at me.“You can sit over there.” I pointed at the farthest seat.He scurried towards the seat and I opened the file

[ Xavier ]Two days passed, Adeline’s condition was improving and she was told by the doctors that she could take the discharge and since then, she’s pestering me to take her to her home means the house where we used to live before Emily came into our lives.“Why can’t stay here for another day, love?” I tried talking sweet to her this time but the scowl on her face deepened.“Xav. this hospital atmosphere is making me even more sick and you are already hiring a nurse to take care of me then what’s the problem?” She whined and I knew it’d not work on my wife who is as stubborn as a mule.I shook my head, “You won’t ever listen to me, will you?” I gave her a look of disbelief.“I listen to you, dear husband. Tell me when you expressed your desire to have me and I have denied you.” She grinned and a faint blush crept on my face.“Aww, you’re blushing, hubby. Should I take this as yes?” She gave me a raised look.“Alright, I am going to ask the hospital to prepare the discharge papers bu

[ Xavier ]“Can you explain me how my daughter-in-law was targeted, Xavier?” My Dad asked me in a flat tone, he was weak and barely talk but his tone was still firm. Adeline’s accident left a deep impact on his mind. He looked worried for the safety of his family.“Dad, it’s Arthur’s doing. I have a plenty of proofs to frame him but I want to know your stand on this because, this time I won’t spare him. He has crossed the line I drew.” I said, my hatred for Arthur surfaced for the first time because he used to pick fights with me previously but this time, he took it very far.“Is there anything else you want to tell me, Son? I have never seen this kind of hatred and fury in your eyes for your brother. Don’t worry, I have heard and endured worse in my long life. I have only a few weeks or months to live but I want to fix things in my family before I die because I want to die peacefully without any regret.” He said with folded hands and there was a serene calmness on his face.“Adeline

[ Adeline ]Xavier’s announcement during the dinner was out of the blue and very shocking for me because others seemed very happy to hear that Xavier is ready to take the full control of Linwood’s company and he wants me to run it with him. Our positions and powers can’t be challenged by anyone.Xavier had never been like this and this decision means there’s lot going on with him but he isn’t telling me. The door of our temporary room creaked open. Our rooms are on the first floor and I missed being there but I can’t climb the stairs for next one month or more.Xavier walked inside with the last box containing our stuffs.“Xavier, we can do it tomorrow. Please, come here and rest. The last two days have been exhausting for you. Come, rest. I’ll massage your scalp.” I requested him. I feel horrible, this man had been enduring a lot, both mentally and physically and this time I am the reason.He sat on the edge of the bed and passed me his vibrant smile but the tiredness was visible.“S

[ Xavier ]I woke up the next day as a brand new man. I felt my old memories, both good and bitter being wiped away when I shared a beautiful, heart to heart conversation with Adeline. I told her how wrong and stupid I used to be who trusted someone so blindly and how I invested my feelings in a wrong person.I have this fresh start and I want to make most of it by taking my enemies down one by one and this time I have my wife’s full support.“Hey, handsome. Where are you going by taking extra efforts to dress up? Should I be guessing that it’s a someone special?” Adeline’s sweet but teasing voice reached into my ears. I placed the newspaper down and looked at her who wheeled herself in the living room, behind her was the nervous who looked nervous since my wife doesn’t take her help much. I signalled her to take rest since I was there with Adeline. She nodded and left.“Yes, I am going to meet someone very special and after that I’ll meet my lawyers to start the legal procedure of ou

[ Adeline ]“Sandra, this new proposal looks good and I hope Mr. Loyd will like it but don’t you think we should first ask our marketing team’s opinion because only they know what future a proposal holds in the market, no matter how intriguing it looks on the papers.” I said to Sandra. She came to my house with the final copy of the revised plan which we have to present to Mr. Loyd in next three days but a part of me wasn’t satisfied with the idea.She removed her specs and gave me a confused look. The team revised it four times before presenting it to me but I wasn’t satisfied with the outcome.“Ma’am, the marketing team has reviewed it and they think we have great opportunities in next twenty years if we go forward with this roadmap.” She said.“Did they really say it?” I asked her in confusion.“Yes, Ma’am but if you want, I’ll forward this report again to them and ask them to do more research before the final presentation.” She said, her face was contoured with disappointment.“I

[ 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
