All Chapters of Gone Too Long, The CEO Becomes A World-Class Doting Husband: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The Thompson Group of Companies conference room. "Director Webber, how is everything at Koplin?" Lucas looked at the report given to him and said, "How far is the construction progress going on there for us to spend fifty million dollars in less than a month?" Lucas saw how the director in charge paled at his words. Still, before the older man could speak, the current Vice President of Thompson Group of Companies, Walton Reed, remarked, "That's understandable, Lucas." "I don't expect you to fully comprehend since you did not work in the company, years before you became the CEO." While Walton's tone of voice appeared friendly, his words had a deeper meaning. It was clear to Lucas that the Vice President was questioning his ability. Lucas had always suspected that Walton was not pleased with his appointment as the CEO. After all, Walton was the best candidate to take the CEO job before Lucas' return. Unfortunately for Walton, his father, and Evan's best friends were the company's m

"Shauna! Where are you?" Lily kicked the door to a private room and startled the guests inside. "Miss, please. You are disturbing our guests," an employee of the Club Lux said. "Sandy, blonde hair girl with a cute face! Ring a bell yet? Until you tell me where she is, I won't stop kicking doors open!" Lily angrily declared. This was the third private room she had broken into, but there were no signs of Shauna. Of course, upon her entry, bouncers tried to stop Lily, but she flashed her military ID and handgun. She declared that she was there to save her friend in trouble. The male receptionist tried to help find Shauna, but the club was dark, and they had too many clients that night, so he could not distinguish Shauna. "Sir, maybe the VIP room?" One bouncer suggested. "Mister Jace Hernandez is celebrating his birthday with a few guests. I'm pretty sure his friends brought women." The male receptionist instantly frowned. He stuttered, "No. No." He looked at Lily and said, "Whoev

Lucas was speaking to his Uncle Sean and Aunt Reese outside Shauna's room. Reese was Shauna's mother. "They are still talking inside," Lucas said while peeking through the door. "But Lily has texted me the names responsible. Looks like Shauna opened up to her about it." Reese wept in Sean's chest. She wondered, "Why couldn't Shauna tell us?" "Aunt, I think it's normal for her to open up to Lily. She saved Shauna. Moreover, Shauna is probably ashamed to tell you for now. Give her time," Lucas suggested. "There you are," a familiar voice called. "I came to get some case study files, and then I learned from one of the doctors that you are all here. So I came looking for you!" The person who arrived was Lucas' mother, Doctor Shantelle. She was smiling, but when she saw their panicked expression, she asked, "What's going on?" Lucas was usually composed, but he suddenly felt uneasy. This was not part of his plan. He meant to visit his mother later in the day, but instead, she was the

"Yes, he is my son. Before I left, I got Lily pregnant, but I did not know." Lucas' reply on the phone continued to ring in her head. Her heart would not stop racing. 'Oh, my god!' She thought. 'Lily fell pregnant, and she raised Aiden on her own?' She felt a mix of emotions. Shantelle wound up ending the call, feeling angry and sad at the same time. Shantelle felt profound sadness upon discovering that Aiden had been without his father for ten years. The idea of her grandchild turning to Twix for comfort added to her heartache. She was even more sad that she had not learned about him. Then, she was disappointed at how Lucas dealt with things and how Lily kept Aiden from her and Evan. Out of nowhere, she felt someone tug on her dress. Shantelle turned around and saw Aiden standing next to her. He said, "Grandma, are you okay? It looks like your problem is serious. You should have another Twix." Then, before Shantelle could reply, Aiden hugged her around the waist. He said, "An

Lily and Lucas were back at the Thompsons' mansion on Monday afternoon. Lucas took an early off from work to introduce Aiden to his siblings. While waiting for everyone to arrive, they settled in the garden's Gazebo. The Gazebo was surrounded by a beautiful selection of plants and flowers. The fragrance of roses hung in the air, contributing to the newfound calmness in Lily's heart. "Hiya! Hiya!" Aiden was showing his grandpa some moves from a distance, and just as he simulated his powerhouse kick, Evan groaned and clutched his groin. "Oh, my -" Lily gasped in horror. She had just reconciled with Lucas' parents, and her son had to kick his grandpa's balls? Lucas immediately ran to their side, but Evan laughed very quickly. He said, "Got you!" Lucas was a good five meters away, and he remarked, "Dad, seriously." Aiden pointed at Evan and then to Lucas. He laughed and said, "Grandpa Evan is a fox!" The three men, who bore a resemblance to each other, laughed at what happened. T
