All Chapters of Most Influential Husband At My Feet: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ashley planned to go home to her son after the meeting because she didn’t expect to run into Rhett. She was in the elevator when it suddenly stopped and a group of employees rushed inside with loud gossip and murmurs.She’s not the type to be nosy about people’s affairs but their topic of discussion piqued her interest which made her relax her mind for registration.They were all talking about the CEO and his sudden appearance. Also about breaking his engagement with their teamleader, Rachel Roland.Ashley could not believe her ears, hence when the elevator stopped and everyone started to leave, she followed them out of curiosity.What she didn’t expect was being caught unexpectedly, like a deer in headlights. The entire news didn’t shock her as much and when Rhett called everyone’s attention on her, she felt naked.As if that wasn’t enough, his bold declaration made her shudder. The butterflies she thought had been long dead in her stomach came to life and her face flushed crimson r

It’s the same box Kristian had found some days after they moved into the house. The box contains pictures and memories of his parents right from before they even got married.The box is like an emergency aid for Rhett in his miserable moments. After the divorce, he moved out but could not get rid of the house and their memories. It’s like a safe space he goes to any time he is feeling down.He hired workers to clean the house from time to time and he had prepared that box to fill the emptiness in him. It’s been 12 months exactly since he last visited the house because his health got worse.As he stared at their pictures, his eyes caught their wedding rings and he picked one up.“So can I call you Daddy?” Littke Kristian asked nervously, his head slightly tilted with his big eyes gleaming with stars.“What?” Rhett uttered. A strong wave of happiness settled in his chest seeing his carbon copy staring back intently at him and hoping for the same dream he’s been hoarding for a while.“C

“The longer they elude you, the more satisfying the catch” Rhett muttered with a groan. A muscle in his jaw twitched as he returned his phone to his pocket.As he walked out of the hospital with his longtime friend, making jokes and teases, he was struggling deep down to patch up the pieces of evidence etched in his head and replaying every second.Arriving at the company, Rhett explained Ashley’s proposals and they started working on it immediately. The two friends are intelligent and beautifully crafted characters of the business world. Just ten minutes into their two-men meeting, Optimist already derived a backup plan.His eyes and his aura show nothing but pure drive for his job. Taking all these into account, Rhett could not help but throw furtive glances at him in between hoping to see a crack, a sign of his flaws but he can’t find any.How great would it be if evil people could vividly engrave the mark of their deeds on their forehead for everyone to see?Staring at his almos

Optimist, annoyed but maintaining maximum composure, left for his office at the news of the Rolands' arrival.The walk to the office was short due to his long strides. In his mind, he couldn’t get rid of the possibility that Rachel might have spilled some important information to her parents.“What a weak little thing” he muttered as he walked swiftly towards the door.“Good Morning b…” His secretary stood up to welcome him but he waved his hand in dismissal, cutting her short.“Do you think anyone saw them coming in?” he asked.“Uhm… Sir, I’m not sure… I only received the news from…” The secretary stuttered.“Anyways, the CEO mustn’t hear of this. It won’t do him any good to see them here or even meet them for now” Optimist said.“Yes boss” With a brief head nod, he glanced over at the door and ground his jaw. Finally, he arrived at the door and pushed it open. When he entered and saw Rachel’s parents, he shut the door behind him. “Oh thank God you’re here” Veronica sprang up to we

Throughout their dinner and the drive to Ashley’s home, Rhett has been unusually quiet. Even when Kristian tries to engage him in a conversation, his indifference goes unnoticed by both of them.As they pulled up to the gated compound, Rhett stopped the car.Clara and Ashley’s assistant came out together to welcome them but when they saw that the car had stopped in front of the gate instead, they decided to wait.“Don’t you want to come in?” Ashley asked.Rhett raised his sleeve to show his wristwatch “Kristian has to go to school tomorrow. We both know he won’t be able to sleep early with me being around” he said with a smile.Kristian blinked repeatedly, unable to hide the fact that his father was right. And when they both turned to face him in the backseat, he turned away awkwardly and buried his face in the seat. “See?” Rhett said with one of his brows raised.Ashley giggled “You’re right”“Goodnight Ashley” He reached over and kissed her forehead.“But are you okay?
