The Surrogate CEO's Child Part 85
Cesilia was truly frustrated when her request to terminate her pregnancy was completely ignored by the doctor. Angrily, she returned home, unaware that someone had overheard their conversation earlier.Initially, this person idolized Cesilia greatly and even wanted to ask for her autograph and take a photo together. However, hearing Cesilia's request to terminate her pregnancy completely changed the intentions of this Cesilia fan. Instead, they were upset because the woman they had idolized, and even defended on social media during her divorce with Alexander, was now asking a doctor to terminate her pregnancy. This fan even joined in criticizing Casandra and labeling her as a cheap woman.Now, in front of this person's eyes, a scandal had been uncovered. Time seemed to prove who was guilty and deserved retribution. The Cesilia fan felt guilty.How could they have passionately defended and criticized Casandra, when their own idol had caused her own marriage to crumble? To make things w

Cesilia was truly speechless as she saw her social media filled with negative comments. Her body felt weak, staring blankly at the phone that had been incessantly ringing with calls from an unknown number. She had no idea who it was, as she had been spending more time at home lately due to the short duration of product photoshoots. The actual contract, as Maxime had previously mentioned, covered a more comprehensive collaboration. When there were no scheduled shoots, Cesilia would naturally stay home and could consider other job offers outside of skincare ads.However, Maxime had taken advantage of this to get close to Cesilia. With him absent now, Cesilia had plenty of time to relax. She also wasn't yet willing to accept jobs from anyone else."W-who leaked the news that I'm pregnant?" Cesilia threw her phone onto the bed. She sat down weakly, imagining what would happen next. Naturally, the media would use her as an easy target to get a hot scoop. Cesilia would have to come up with

As Casandra moved into the second trimester of her pregnancy, her condition began to improve. The nausea and dizziness had subsided, and she could now enjoy regular meals and rest. In fact, things had stabilized to the point that Frans decided to return to work at the hospital. However, he still came back to Alexander's house to rest. If he had a daytime shift, he would return home in the evening. Conversely, if he had a night shift, he would come back to Alexander's house during the daytime. This routine continued, with Frans visiting to check on Casandra's well-being until she gave birth.Frans' presence at Alexander's house had indeed brought about changes. Especially for Yasmin, who found herself in a state of inner turmoil. Robert had displayed interest in her and openly invited her out for meals or dates. Though there were no declarations of love, Yasmin knew that Robert had fallen for her. Yet, for some reason, she found herself more drawn to Frans, who seemed more laid-back an

"Your ex-wife disappeared for a long time, but when she resurfaced, it caused a huge commotion in the world." Frans placed his phone in front of Alexander. He had been eager to meet the man and share the gossip that was circulating on social media.And no wonder, Cesilia was reported missing for weeks and suddenly reappeared with shocking news. She was going to marry William, Maxime's adoptive brother. And that wasn't all—the Maxime family confirmed that Maxime was undergoing treatment following his accident some time ago.His condition was critical, preventing him from continuing his role as the leader of the company. As a result, Tomas declared that William would be acting as a temporary replacement for an unspecified period, given that Maxime's recovery was uncertain.Even if Maxime were to recover, he would never be the same again."What else is she up to? I've been busy with work, and on top of that, Casandra has been acting unpredictably. Can you believe she cried just because I

"Daddy, are you still busy with work?"Alexander looked at his phone screen, checking who was calling. Yasmin. But the mention of "Daddy" made him reevaluate the voice on the other end of the call."It's me, Dad. My phone is out of battery, so I borrowed Yasmin's phone to call. She happened to be here, delivering juice. So, how's it going? Are you still busy?"Alexander sighed. "Who did you think it was?" He glanced at the watch on his wrist. "Kind of busy, dear. There's also Robert's event later. So, let me finish up, alright? I'm worried it won't be done by then, and this needs to…"Alexander paused. He stared at the lit screen of his phone. The call had been disconnected unilaterally, which meant he was in big trouble.He hurriedly shut his laptop down, aware that a heated argument with Casandra would take up a lot of time, and he needed to postpone work with a tight deadline."Sweetheart, I'm here." Trying to remain calm and summon all the patience he had, Alexander lay down besid

Alexander cleared his throat softly, breaking the silence that had emerged as their conversation had stalled on Robert's mother's side, without finding a resolution. This time, Alexander intended to take over the conversation."After hearing everything Mom said here, I understand that Robert and Yasmin can either get engaged and then marry, or they can engage later when Yasmin prepares her thesis. Does that mean the gap between engagement and marriage would be close?"The middle-aged woman nodded. "Exactly, it feels a bit difficult to let Robert marry a girl who wants to pursue her ambitions as well. As you know, Alex, Robert still has two younger sisters, both girls. You must understand the expenses they incur for their education. We, as parents, have worked hard to educate Robert so he can be a support in the family, so our burden won't be too heavy in old age."Alexander nodded his head. "So Robert would be responsible for all the household finances?""Exactly. So, if Robert and Ya

"Here, Lex." Casandra tried hard to reach the itchy spot on her back, wanting Alexander to know where the uncomfortable feeling was bothering her."Is it here?" Unable to locate the exact spot Casandra was referring to, he cautiously rubbed her entire back to ensure he didn't miss the mark."Yes, that's it, Lex. A bit higher. Towards the hook.""Here?""A bit to the side. Toward the bed.""Here?""Lower.""Here?""Finally, that's it..." Alexander finally found the spot Casandra was talking about. She began to close her eyes as the itchiness started to subside.It was a routine Alexander had become accustomed to before Casandra went to sleep. He would touch her back, trying to find the spot that was causing the unbearable itch. Once he found it and relieved her discomfort, Casandra would lie down. She would lift her nightgown to reveal her pregnant belly, and Alexander would gently caress it until she fell asleep.Sometimes they would play around first, if Casandra requested it. Why di

"Eh, why are you both dressed up so nicely this early in the morning? Where are you going?" Frans looked at Alexander and Casandra from head to toe. "You're not going to the mall to shop for baby supplies, right? Remember, Casandra isn't quite strong enough for that. He plopped himself down on the sofa.Frans looked quite refreshed this morning, even though he had worked hard last night, taking on some of his colleagues' work to distract himself from Yasmin and Gerry's engagement. If he had known that the engagement was eventually called off last night, he wouldn't have had to pretend like he did yesterday."Not to the mall. Since when does my wife want to spend a long time at the mall? We're going there to shop for necessities and then return home right away. Casandra isn't the type of woman who likes to waste time." Alexander pinched Casandra's not very pointed nose. "We want to attend Cesilia and William's wedding.""Cesilia and William?" Frans furrowed his brows."Finally, Cesilia
