บททั้งหมดของ Mr. CEO, I Came Back To Love You: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Timothy felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. He just spent five million dollars on his wife! To think he was planning to divorce her after becoming a CEO. How was he ever going to get the money back? 'Sell the house,' Timothy concluded. Convince Charlotte that the penthouse would be a better and more convenient home for them. 'Yes, that's it. I'll convince her to sell the house. I'll arrange everything and make sure I get all the payoffs.' He was waiting for Charlotte in the living room of the Strauss mansion. Because Charlotte took her time, Timothy was left to think of his upcoming plans. 'First, I need to get Victoria the penthouse at the Diamond Hotel Plus.' Timothy searched the Diamond Hotel Plus, Swaxon, and checked the monthly rate for the penthouse. When he read it, his eyes widened in shock. He cursed, "Fuck! Forty thousand dollars per month!" To him, it was an expensive rent. He would be spending on a property that would never be his. He read through th

"I'm not asking for reimbursement," Timothy claimed, with his chin up. "I understand the loss because I am also a company shareholder. I take full responsibility." As Timothy had expected, the board of directors gave him a difficult time due to his failed business trip. He lost one billion dollars of the potential investment, making them question his capability. The meeting held him inside the conference room for the rest of the afternoon. Because Timothy wanted to gain back their confidence in him, he did not ask for a single refund, not for the hotel, the flight, the meals, and even his assistant's billable expenses. Thankfully, his decision absolved him, but he felt his cash flow was already running low. What worried him more was the shopping his wife was about to do. Because Charlotte insisted that her bodyguard drive them, Timothy rode reluctantly into his wife's car. Inside the vehicle, he tried to assess the possible damage. 'Surely, Charlotte would not spend so much. S

"Liam, I don't know if I am ready to see your mother again," Charlotte admitted. "Considering our plans, would it be fine for her to meet me while I have yet to divorce Tim? I'm just not sure if this is the right time." "I understand. Wait here," Liam instructed. "Let me see what she needs first." Liam also felt the same way. His parents knew of his secret trips to Swaxon and why he built a hotel in that city. They knew he still had his eye on Charlotte, but at the same time, his parents were also aware that Charlotte was married. He has yet to tell them that Charlotte will be getting a divorce. Re-introducing Charlotte now would only give them the wrong impression. He got off the car at the hotel's driveway. Liam was about to walk inside the property when he saw his mother's car. His beloved mother was already walking in his direction, her eyes looking past his frame. "Mom? What brings you here?" Liam asked. His mother, Scarlett Wright, didn't seem to hear him. Her espresso-co

"Liam?" Charlotte called his name. Because of her past life, Charlotte already knew how Liam loved her. That was why she was confident enough to ask him to marry her. Even without Scarlett telling her the truth, deep inside her bones, she felt his love for her. 'However,' she thought. ‘It would be nice to hear it from his mouth, the same way he confessed his love in my previous life.’ "Would it kill you to say I love you? What do you really feel about me?" She asked while clenching her hands against his coat. She didn't blink, her eyes remained to study his athletic face, and she swore he looked so handsome. She felt the urge to touch and kiss him. "Just so we are clear, my answer will not change the fact that you were the one who asked me to marry you," Liam said in his manly voice. Charlotte nearly giggled in amusement. She pouted her lip as she replied, "I'm waiting." Liam's adams apple bobbed repeatedly, and to Charlotte, it made him look incredibly sexy. He replied, "M

"Did you sleep well? No nightmares?" Liam asked as he set the treadmill's settings. "Yes -well, I woke up around two but fell back asleep in less than an hour," Charlotte said. "So it was okay." "Why didn't you call me?" Liam asked. "I know you were working until midnight. I asked Chadwick," Charlotte answered. When Charlotte saw Liam frown, she insisted, "It's okay. I think the new environment made me sleep better." He fell silent. Charlotte did not know what was going through his mind, but after a while, he instructed, "Put me on video call while you sleep tonight. I insist.” His offer made Charlotte smile, and as they started with their cardio, she was beaming all throughout. "Charlotte, your body should be your greatest investment. Do at least ten minutes of cardio three times a week," he said while starting with a walk. They were on the treadmill for half an hour since they had time to kill. Afterward, Liam taught Charlotte a few workout routines. They were both sw
