The Surrogate CEO's Child Part 40
As Alexander and Casandra descended from the ferris wheel, Alexander noticed Cesilia walking hand-in-hand with Maxime. They seemed more like a couple than an employer and employee, with Maxime possessively holding Cesilia's hand.Alexander felt a surge of anger and jealousy, but he knew he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't confront Maxime or Cesilia in public, as it would only lead to more problems, especially if Cesilia was indeed having feelings for another man. He decided to observe from a distance for now, unsure of what to do next.They continued to explore the water park, but Alexander couldn't fully enjoy the experience. His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Cesilia and Maxime. Casandra noticed his change in demeanor and tried to distract him with the various attractions, but she could tell something was bothering him.After a while, Casandra suggested heading back home, knowing that Alexander needed rest. Reluctantly, he agreed, and they made their way to the exit

Cecilia tried hard to hold back her tears. If Maxime wasn’t by her side, she would have surely shed all the tears she had. It was the first time she saw her husband walking side by side with another girl, doing so many activities together.Throughout her marriage to Alexander, Cecilia had never done what he was doing with Casandra. Playing at the water park, going on various rides, experiencing thrilling adventures, and she could clearly see how much Alexander was enjoying it.Where had she been all this time that she never made time for vacations like what he was doing now?Cecilia realized that ever since she decided to pursue a career as a model and chase after her dreams and aspirations, she never once invited Alexander to spend more time with him. She vividly remembered that they only went abroad during their honeymoon. After that, there was never any time for Alexander, just occasional moments to relax like what Casandra was giving him.She also acknowledged that her time was co

Casandra shifted her attention elsewhere, feeling flustered after experiencing such an intimate moment for the first time in her life. Her lips had been kissed by a man, even though Alexander was her legitimate husband. Despite this, Casandra couldn't help but feel nervous and awkward. Being so close to a man, especially someone like Alexander who had always despised her, was quite overwhelming."I'm sorry," mumbled Alexander, feeling embarrassed for accidentally doing that to Casandra. He had let himself be carried away by the atmosphere, and unconsciously planted a brief kiss on Casandra's lips.Both Casandra and Alexander couldn't understand why he had dared to do such a thing. On one hand, Alexander justified it because Casandra was his lawful wife. No one could forbid or scold him for what he had done. However, Casandra couldn't refuse it either, as she believed it was her duty as a wife, right? But Alexander was still too proud to admit that Casandra was his wife, and he hadn't

She had hoped to go home tonight. Was this what they called an agreement? Maxime always broke the promises he made himself. If this continued, Alexander might become suspicious of her having other engagements outside of being a model, especially as his superior's mistress."Why? You're angry at me in the middle of the night for no reason," Maxime sighed, pulling the blanket to cover his body. He was truly tired, but Cesilia disturbed his deep slumber."It's better if you take me home, or I'll just let everything be revealed. It's better for everything to be revealed quickly, so I can apologize to my husband. Instead of dragging this on, you make jokes. I'd rather lose Alexander and you as well."Cesilia pointed her index finger at Maxime's face, giving a warning and a little resistance so that he couldn't take advantage of her anymore.Maxime treated her like this even after tearing her marriage apart, and now he trapped her with promises that he had no intention of fulfilling.Since

"They, so Alexander went with Casandra?""Of course. With whom else? Since you're the only one here, Alexander naturally went with his new wife. Wasn't that what you wanted, for him to have a child soon?""Oh, my goodness!" Cesilia massaged her temples. "So that girl has gone this far. I can't believe it," she lamented."Don't blame Casandra because you're the one who sold Alexander to her.""I only gave her money to rent her womb, not to take my husband, Ma!" Cesilia retorted, not willing to back down as Meri seemed to support Casandra as Alexander's legitimate wife.If this continued, Meri might one day ask Alexander to divorce Cesilia. No, that must not happen, as Cesilia was Alexander's only wife, and there should be no other woman, especially not Casandra. She was their own housemaid. How could Cesilia let herself be outshined by a lowly and uncultured woman like Casandra?Alexander was right; Casandra was just a village girl who had no self-awareness. Cesilia should not have poi

Casandra was ready, her wet hair wrapped in a small towel. Her slender body was covered with a robe, and now she was prepared to meet Alexander in the room.Although feeling a bit awkward with her current appearance, Casandra had no choice but to face her husband. It was impossible for her to sleep in the bathroom."Better to catch a cold than to suddenly turn into a mermaid, right?" she thought to herself.Feeling very awkward, Casandra sat on a sofa, while Alexander was on the edge of the bed. He was still sitting in the same position as before Casandra entered the bathroom."What are you thinking about, sir?" Casandra asked after a long period of silence between her and Alexander.Alexander turned to look at Casandra, shaking his head. "Nothing, I was just guessing the total cost of the interior in this room.""For what?" Casandra asked again, finding it a bit strange that her husband was guessing the price of the hotel room's interior.Especially when the items Alexander had in hi

Alexander's mind was torn between defending Cesilia and protecting Casandra. He didn't want to lose either of his wives, and he couldn't understand when he had started to fear losing Casandra as well as Cesilia. Casandra had become an essential part of his life, filling the void left by Cesilia.As he saw Casandra crying in her room, Alexander felt overwhelmed with emotions. He knelt in front of her, wanting to comfort her and make things right."Sir, I want this marriage to end. Please let me work here for any salary you decide, so I can repay all the money you spent on my father's medical bills. Even if I doubt I can pay it off in my lifetime, it's still better than being a paid wife like this. I don't want to be oppressed and humiliated by Mrs. Cesilia.Honestly, I never wanted to be a paid wife. You know that, right? So please, divorce me!"Alexander held his breath, just listening to Casandra's words until she was done expressing herself.Finally, he nodded, "You're right, there'

Instead of staying silent and enjoying what Alexander was doing, Casandra actually refused. She held back Alexander, who wanted to enjoy her lips again."Why?"Being rejected like that, of course, Alexander protested. Previously, Casandra had challenged him to have a child, but now it seemed like she was building a barrier between them.Yet, Alexander started feeling suffocated down there. He really wanted it, in the true sense. He couldn't even ask properly because his mouth couldn't be silenced, so he made Cesilia the scapegoat to claim his rights."If it's just to satisfy Madame, I don't want it, sir," she said, looking away so Alexander couldn't reach her lips.Alexander's grip instantly loosened. He looked at Casandra, who was looking down at him."I'm sorry," he said softly. He withdrew and covered Casandra with a blanket.Without saying a word, he walked away. He closed the bedroom door, leaving Casandra with a million questions in her head.In solitude, Casandra pondered if wh

Alexander didn't expect that his morning decision to stay at home was a sign from the universe for him to be there to support Casandra before giving birth. However, Casandra refused his offer, fearing that his work might be disrupted because of her. And now, Casandra was crying in fear of facing childbirth alone, only accompanied by Yasmin and Frans.While Yasmin was trying to comfort Casandra, she found herself reluctant to leave the house due to her persistent headaches in recent days. Feeling irritable, she didn't even want to face anyone, including Frans. Luckily, her understanding husband didn't make a fuss about it, and he was now accompanying Casandra, although not in the delivery room. He was waiting outside, also trying to contact Alexander to inquire about his whereabouts.In the delivery room, Yasmin continued to grumble at Casandra, not being pleased that she had to be the one accompanying her sister. Yasmin's bad mood even extended to Frans, and she was making a scene in

Despite feeling a slight pang of pity for his father in his heart, Maxime tried to strengthen himself to not give in just because of his father's tears. Even though the investigation results indicated that his father was manipulated by his secretary and there was no true intention to eliminate him, Maxime was still disappointed. His father chose to follow his secretary's desires instead of fighting for his own son's life, to give him the push to survive. This anger fueled Maxime's determination, and he refused to forgive Tomas or withdraw the charges. He proceeded through numerous court sessions, awaiting the verdict that would determine how long Tomas would spend in prison for his actions.Nevertheless, Maxime continued with his wedding plans with Cesilia after she obtained a new status from William. In the eyes of others, Cesilia might be a widow twice over, but in Maxime's eyes, she was still his for the first time.Cesilia and Maxime's wedding took place simultaneously with the we

"It's been quite a while, and I can see there's been no progress at all. Even the health reports give me a headache," Tomas said, tossing the documents that Cesilia handed him.The documents contained numerous lies to make Tomas believe that Maxime's condition hadn't changed at all."Yes, what can I do? Maxime has been treated with whatever funds I could spare from my limited savings. Naturally, that's the best result we can achieve. But at least I'm fighting for Maxime's life, even though I don't have the ability for it. You should be ashamed that you can't fight for your own son and instead hope he dies at such a young age," Cesilia jabbed at Tomas, who persisted in wanting to end Maxime's life despite Cesilia's efforts to save him."Rather than struggling like this, it's better to live your life with William. Your life would be much better and peaceful. You don't need to care for an ailing man like my son.""Your son, you say, yet you've never once given me a chance to live after w

If only Robert hadn't met Cesilia and Tiara a few days ago, he would have been genuinely shocked now as Frans and Alexander suddenly invited him to a meeting room that was usually used for discussing business agreements.But here they were, sitting face to face, Robert appearing to sigh heavily several times, as if he was attending a trial about his life. He had a feeling today marked the end of any chance he had with Yasmin. Today, he had to let go of all his dreams, which were now being taken over by Frans."We don't need to beat around the bush or prolong this. I want to discuss something that our friend has been keeping from us," Alexander started the conversation."This is quite surprising, but that's the reality. The relationship you've been yearning for has actually been happening between Frans and Yasmin," Alexander carefully conveyed the news, but soon his eyebrows furrowed as he observed Robert's response.Robert remained silent, his expression flat, and he tapped his finger

Before meeting Alexander at his office, Frans managed to have lunch with Yasmin at a cafe near her campus. After lunch, he proceeded to Cesilia's residence to check on Maxime's condition.Maxime's progress had been quite remarkable, even though he couldn't engage in too much physical activity yet. Cesilia was already grateful for Maxime's current condition. He could sit up and move his limbs, although he still felt weak and experienced some discomfort when moving.Despite his condition, Cesilia was thankful that she could hold Maxime in her arms again. However, every time Tomas visited, Maxime would lie down as if only his eyelids could move. Several times, Tomas tried to persuade Cesilia to let Maxime go and seriously consider marrying William.But Cesilia remained adamant against Tomas's suggestion and would often berate him for even suggesting such a thing. She accused him of being heartless, willing to sacrifice their son's life for a sum of money that would be spent within a few

Casandra folded her arms across her chest and stared at Yasmin from head to toe. Naturally, Yasmin didn't understand what to do or say after Casandra had suddenly asked her to talk, especially since she and Frans had just finished kissing. She was now haunted by fear."Now tell me, what kind of relationship do you have with Frans?" Casandra asked once her emotions had calmed a bit."There's nothing between me and Frans, sis.""Are you sure there's absolutely nothing between you and Frans?"Yasmin attempted to maintain her composure, even though her head felt heavy as she did so. But to hide her relationship with Frans, she still went along with it."If there really is nothing between you and Frans, then whether you like it or not, you'll have to accept Robert's proposal."Casandra averted her gaze elsewhere, anywhere but at Yasmin."Why all of a sudden, sis? Asking me to accept Robert's proposal. What's going on? Didn't I already tell you I would never accept that guy's proposal?""It

Perhaps about two weeks had passed since Frans accompanied Yasmin for shopping. Yasmin had also started attending classes. An unusual feeling began to arise in Alexander and Cassandra's hearts. Why? Because Yasmin always returned home with Frans. Their excuse was that they accidentally bumped into each other on the street, even though as far as Alexander knew, the hospital where Frans worked was in the opposite direction from Yasmin's campus. Even their visits to Maxime's house had this same pattern. The oddness intensified when Alexander checked his bank account transactions. He looked at the dates and times when Yasmin went shopping with Frans. Alexander clearly remembered that on that day, Yasmin came home with a lot of shopping bags, but when he looked at his bank account, there was no expenditure recorded for that day. This meant Yasmin didn't use the debit card he had given her. So, whose money did Yasmin use for shopping?Placing his phone on the nightstand, Alexander glanced

Frans immediately reached out his hand to the woman and kissed the back of her hand."Mother, let me introduce you to Yasmin, my girlfriend.""Girlfriend?" the middle-aged woman repeated, observing Yasmin from head to toe. "Frans, you're not joking, right? Is this really your girlfriend? Whose niece did you pay to pretend to be your girlfriend?""Mother...," Frans interjected. "Please don't let your teasing strain our relationship.""Well, come on, she's so young and beautiful, she surely wouldn't be interested in a widower like you.""Mom," Frans cautioned again, and the middle-aged woman rubbed her temple."Get to know Mother first. My name is Tiara, Frans' mother.""Yasmin." She extended her hand to introduce herself, not forgetting to kiss the back of the middle-aged woman's hand."Don't listen to Mother. It's all just playful banter," Frans said, lightening the mood.However, Yasmin was already too scared to face the woman. Sensing Yasmin's nervousness, Tiara immediately embraced

"Where are we going first, to find clothes or books?" Frans parked his car in the mall parking lot."Let's look for books first, Frans. So that later we can just focus on finding clothes. I think I don't need many clothes; I still have so many in my closet. The first time I came here, my sister suggested online shopping.""Alright, books it is then." Frans helped Yasmin unfasten her seatbelt, and they both got out of the car together. Just like usual, they walked side by side, holding hands, as they explored the various stores in the mall.Yasmin seemed enthusiastic about choosing all the supplies she would need for her upcoming college. Patiently, Frans followed behind, observing Yasmin as she carefully selected each item."Which one is better?" Yasmin asked, handing over two larger-sized books."Which one?" Frans asked, puzzled, as he didn't see anything particularly special about those books. To him, a book was used for writing, and there was no difference."Isn't the cover nice? D
