The Ex-husband's Regret: CEO'S Ex-Wife Returns As Boss Chapter - [ 50 ]
[ Adeline ]Xavier’s cold eyes were fixed on my father. I felt like I betrayed him and right in the moment, I wanted the earth to swallow me alive. I couldn’t see him in the pain of being kept in the dark.“It’s better you hear this out, young man. Come and sit here.” Dad sounded extremely calm whereas I was fretting.“Xavier, please come with me, I’ll explain you everything.” I tried to reach for his hand but he made his way towards my father without sparing a glance at my direction. It hurt me.“Mr. Greyson I heard you talking to your daughter about your revenge plans if I put it in my words. What has my family done to you? As far as I remember my Dad considers you as a very good friend.” Xavier said very calmly but I could feel anger bubbling beneath the layer of the calmness.“Like I said, sit down and here me out, Xavier.” Dad poured him a drink in my glass.“Xavier, let’s go from here.” I begged him.He showed me his palm, “Adeline, I want to hear everything from your father.” H

[ Adeline ]I was waiting for Xavier to come back inside the house after sending my parents off. His decision was bothering me. we decided to part our ways then why did he transferred his property on my name. It felt wrong and unacceptable. I also had to apologise for my father’s behaviour and make it clear that I have nothing to do with his planning and plotting.His deep footsteps put a halt on my thoughts. I turned to face him. His eyes were already fixed on me.“Xavier, I am sorry.” It came out as a mere whisper as emotions thickened my voice.“May I know the reason of this apology because I see none.” He spoke.“You know what I mean, Xavier and I am truly ashamed of his disgusting thoughts. I understand that he shared a deep connection with your mother and his resentment for your father is also fair but I don’t agree with him. Believe me, I will never help him in his cheap tricks to bring you and your family down.” I said in my defence.He stepped closer.“I know this as well, Ad

[ Xavier ]Why my fate is always cruel to me. When I begin to think that finally I've something to call mine and I should chase after it, my bubbles burst and I left staring at the mocking face of my fate.Adeline, the woman who stirred my almost dead feelings after Emily's death, made it very clear that she wants nothing from me.She isn't a woman of greed for money or power but she'd be insecure of my past, I didn't know that. She rejected everything I want to give her to show how I actually feel for her. I don't want our marriage to remain on papers. I want something more from her, a lifetime's companionship."Sir, we have arrived." My driver's voice forced me to push my thoughts back and I rubbed my temples.I stepped down from the car and the cold morning air hit my face.Today's the day when my grandmother is coming. In fact, her plane would land in next thirty minutes. I insisted her to take my private plane but she declined and chose to take a commercial flight.She's a stubbo

[ Adeline ]To say, I wasn't fretting, would be a pure lie. My heartbeats were doing a marathon since I met Xavier's grandmother, a woman of elegance. My first impression on her was a total disaster.It was like I did something wrong. According to her, I was dressed like a rookie. Yes, I heard her saying this to Xavier. I'll deal with this man later.He could have told me. We have been on 'no talk' terms since the dinner night and avoid each other like a plague but he had to inform me.The damage is already being done. I have to be more calculative and balanced around her. I don't know but for a certain reason, her acceptance matters to me.I sighed and took a deep inhale of air before making my way back to the living room with her coffee. I dressed in my office suit. I couldn't miss the work since I had to close a deal with our new suppliers of pig iron."Mrs. Linwood, here's your coffee and some home cooked dry fruit and oats cookies, they're sugar free." I said placing the tray on

[ Adeline ]"I am sorry. I should have informed you." The man standing in front of me, apologized."Apology not accepted, now excuse me. I am getting late for my work." I said in a disinterested tone and about to walk past him but he grabbed my wrist."Adeline, please listen to me, at least." He said in a calm voice."I don't have time for this, Xavier. Your recklessness put me in a situation when I had to tell a bunch of lies to an old lady. You know I hate to deceive people." I said curtly.He sighed and turned to look at me."Adeline, I can understand your anger and I'm extremely sorry for keeping you in the dark." He said, he sounded guilty."You should feel sorry but not for me." I snapped back, "We have to give her a great grandchild. Now you tell me how are we going to bring a baby because your grandmother wants to see your child." I said throwing my hands in the air."We'll tell her that we're not in a stage to have a child. She is a demanding woman who likes to see things acc

Adeline ]His lips moved rhythmically against mine. He wasn't giving me a chance to speak because my mind went frenzy after listening to his words. His hands rested on my hips. Soon, I gave in and kissed him back.He likes me. He just confessed it.The pent up feelings were taking the best out of me. I needed to feel him and show him that I have more to offer than he thinks. I knotted my fingers in his hairs and pulled him more into the kiss. It always feels different with him. Our tongues collided, trying to explore each other's mouth.We pulled apart after five minutes of assaulting each other's lips. He joined his forehead with mine, our heavy breathing was the only sound in the garage."I'm sorry, your lipstick is ruined. You need a touch up." He said with a hint of amusement and mischief in his eyes."I'm getting really late for office." I said as I couldn't think of another excuse to run away from his vicinity.I was feeling overwhelmed with his confession and it was an awkward

[ Adeline ]"What are you doing here, Dad?" I asked him straight. His last time's behavior disturbed me for days."I am here to finish our conversation, Adeline." He said walking towards me."Excuse me, Ma'am. I'll go and check the preparations of the meeting." Sandra excused herself and went away.I felt awkward in my father’s presence which was an irony."Dad, I'm getting late for my meeting. Can we talk some other time?" I requested him in a low tone because I didn't want any scene at my work place."I won't take much of your time, Adeline. I just want you to take your father-in-law's signatures on these papers." He said to me and shoved some papers on my hand."What is it?" I asked with a frown."The golden ticket for you and us to rule over the Linwood legacy." He smirked.I groaned in frustration. He was still stuck on the same page where I strongly refused to help him.I read the papers, the papers stated that I'll be the solo owner of all the Linwood companies, assets and the

[ Adeline ]"Adeline, why aren't you looking at me?" Xavier's question panicked me even more."Please, put the tea on the table. I'll be downstairs in some time." I said in a leveled tone."Okay, I am putting it here but why aren't you looking at me? You came back early today. You didn't inform me, it was Sandra who told me when I stopped by your office to pick you. Are you feeling sick?" He asked me again, his voice sounded worried."Yeah, I had headache. So, I took an early day off. I am sorry, it slipped from my mind that you were coming to pick me." I said and pretend to comb my hairs so he wouldn't notice my face."Adeline, why aren't you looking at me?" He asked, this time his voice came out more firm and suspicious."I am applying face care products, can't you see?" I laughed to pretend it like a joke."Yes, I can see but I don't buy your attempts to send me away. What's the matter with you, Ade?" He stepped closer and my heartbeats picked up their rates once again.He placed h
