All Chapters of Wife of the Next CEO: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I swallowed hard; sweats are streaming down my face. I'm nervous, I can also feel my legs and hands shaking too much. Upon seeing her face, I think she will explode a minute later."Your Papa just called," when sitting on the sofa with Stacy and her, Aunt Gretchen began to speak. "He ordered me to hand this over to you and sign this, which means you're granting me your permission, as his daughter, to own this house.""What?" I asked, surprisingly. "Do you mean… The title of the house will go to you?""Do you have a problem with that?" She raised her left eyebrow. "I am your future mother, Irene. Don't I have any rights to this house, huh? One more thing, it's your father's order, so just follow it!"I remain stubborn. "I want to talk to him first regarding this matter. I want to hear his explanation---""Shut the hell up, Irene! Just sign the papers, so this matter will be finished!"I looked at Aunt Gretchen in disbelief. It seems like she was afraid that I would talk to Papa. "I won

"You still haven't talked to your Dad, Irene?" Aunt Gretchen immediately greeted me upon entering the house.I put my purchases on the table before facing her. "I tried to call him multiple times already, but he's not answering my calls.""Try again now, maybe he will answer!""Auntie, please don't rush me---""You say, you just don't want the title of the house to be in my name!" She cuts off what I'm saying. "Until now, you're still clinging to the jealous hope that this house will remain yours, aren't you?""Because I have more rights than you!" I plucked up the courage to answer her. "You and Papa aren't married yet, and until that happens, you don't own anything!""You're now being rude to me, huh---"I moved away from her immediately because I knew Aunt Gretchen, she was planning to hurt me again."Do you think that if you hurt me, I will change my decision? What do you think, Aunt Gretchen? I'm tired of being your obedient dog! You can't control me again!"She pursed her lips.

This is because it's difficult for someone like me who doesn't have much history about making friends. Because I'm used to being alone and others don't do me any favors.I'm not used to gan'to but... I also don't want to lose them."Okay, do as you wish. Believe me or not, I cherished you all.As I've mentioned before, I rarely have true friends. Letting this opportunity slide is like giving birth to a fool." I hummed."I don't want to lose an important person to me... Never again.""You'll agree too, you made the conversation even longer." Yuwi said."Delancy almost got stressed out," Dylan said with a laugh."Bro, I was told. If Irene doesn't agree, we won't have a hot night later."Using the mirror inside the car, Warren's eyes searched for my presence."So thank you, Irene. You didn't know it, you saved me in the cold night.""When you're really together, it's hard for you to talk straight!" Delancy is interested."If only we didn't need a paper bag carrier, maybe those two wouldn

"That's why you can't focus, Irene. Your mind is preoccupied, so I hope that even now you can free yourself from thinking deeply. In that way, you could go back to your previous form."Okay... Free my mind so that I could go back on track.I took a deep breath before starting again. I started making the pasta sauce again for the fourth time, praying that this time I wouldn't screw up.Even now, I tried not to think about yesterday's events. I put aside my fear of ruining my life forever when I signed the paper.I don't want to think about negative things right now, because our grade depends on the dish that Harold and I make.My hand was shaking as I started sprinkling the spices while mixing it, but luckily it didn't seem like I put too much or too little.When I tasted it, its sweetness and saltiness were just fine to my taste.Gosh, I made it.Harold and I set about plating, trying to make ours look clean and presentable.My nervousness increased even more when we finally put the d

"Your clothes don't fit in your wardrobe anymore, are you going to ask me for more?""There's still space so---""I'm sorry but my answer is no," I passed him but before I got far I spoke again."My true friends gave me that. I won't let someone like you benefit."It felt really good to be able to answer Stacy like this while she was speechless and unable to move to report to her mother.I held them by the neck, thanks to my brain that just got smarter that day.I was outside the house, in the garden area to eat there. I'm used to not being at the table with Aunt Gretchen, I must have been relieved by the looks on both of their faces.At this moment, Tita can no longer order me around and mistreat me like before. It's natural, because he's afraid I'll bring out his stench.Thank you Thank youIn the middle of enjoying my day, my phone rang suddenly. I received a voice message from Israel, I'm still hesitant whether to play it or not."Maybe it's a grunt, ah?"As I built enough courage
