All Chapters of Stuck with My CEO Hubby: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

As Bella had anticipated, the barbecue dinner was a bit challenging. Her colleagues tried hard to find lively topics to create an atmosphere, but Calvin always remained detached from the group, only occasionally responding with a word or two. For example, someone told a joke, and everyone at the table burst into laughter, except for him, who remained unaffected. Bella couldn't bear watching this; even if he didn't find it funny, couldn't he at least relax his expression a bit? Under Bella's gaze, he finally nodded and said it was quite interesting, but this only made the atmosphere even more awkward. Except for Devon, everyone else felt as if the boss was eavesdropping on their casual conversation. Calvin's demeanor at the barbecue stall was more like listening to a subordinate's report than enjoying barbecue. Fortunately, his attention was all on Bella, which made people feel that he was just an ordinary man who cared for his wife. But in the eyes of the women present, such care fo

The next day, when Bella appeared with Calvin, everyone smiled with a hint of ambiguity. Look, as soon as the husband appeared, he immediately revived, quite different from his lackluster self yesterday. At this moment, standing with Calvin, Bella looked gentle and harmonious, while Calvin remained composed, though his habit of taking care of people unintentionally showed. Of course, this care was limited to Bella. Bella seemed much more relaxed today, her smile brighter than the past two days. Devon, feeling sour, observed her simple attire—just a T-shirt and shorts, the sporty kind. For the sake of convenience, she had been dressing casually these past two days, nothing particularly eye-catching. However, today, despite the same attire, she somehow exuded a different vibe, appearing surprisingly adorable! At the same time, he found it somewhat intrusive, because she and Calvin looked like a couple in matching outfits. Calvin wasn't someone who paid much attention to his attire, bu

Bella suddenly realized that she could tease him too, biting her lip and smiling coyly, "Yes!" She had always thought that lovemaking should be done in the dark in bed, just doing the deed, with all the variety being stuff of novels. But today she discovered that just a few kisses could make the routine things lively and interesting. No wonder he said she was boring in this aspect, she couldn't even take the initiative for a kiss. Calvin chuckled and slid his hands underwater, pinching her perky buttocks, "Little devil!" She placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned forward, pushing her buttocks into his large hands, feeling his accompanying movements, blushing involuntarily. But she still asked playfully, "Was today more interesting?" Huh? Calvin was momentarily stunned, then understood what she meant, "It can be even more interesting." She stared at him, he was too greedy! He knew he shouldn't push too hard; today was already a rare occasion of her taking the initiative. He pu

Emily's abrupt departure left everyone feeling awkward for a moment, but under Jex's moderation, the atmosphere quickly recovered. Emily wasn't well-liked, her words and actions were forceful, and everyone felt she got what she deserved when Calvin put her in her place. Even Devon, who usually didn't mind speaking his mind, felt relieved; Emily had been bossing him around for a long time. The dinner was still enjoyable. Afterward, with a bitter expression, Jex headed to the set, while Bella and the others planned to visit scenic spots for sightseeing and photos. The scenery was beautiful, and Bella and Bonnie seemed particularly excited. Devon, however, gazed into the distance, feeling somewhat sentimental. "Women are so emotional," he remarked. "It's just a bigger beach and a wider sea, with fewer people. I don't see what's so exciting about it for these two." Calvin, seemingly oblivious to Devon's words, kept his eyes on Bella. She happily ran ahead to the beach, doing something w

Facing Julia's eagerness, Calvin subtly took a step back, creating some distance between them. He noticed her assistant approaching with an umbrella, then shifted his gaze back to Julia, remarking, "It's sunny out, Miss Julia, be sure to protect yourself from the sun." His tone was casual, devoid of any personal sentiment, almost like a weather forecast. He naturally knew when to say what, but often couldn't be bothered to engage. He believed that this remark would allow Julia's imagination to run wild. He didn't care how she interpreted it, as long as she focused on completing the current shoot. As soon as he spoke, Julia's assistant arrived, panting slightly from the hurried walk. Without saying a word, she immediately held the umbrella over Julia and Calvin's heads, providing some relief from the scorching sun. Julia claimed to be 168 centimeters tall, but she was barely 162, while Calvin towered over her. It was tough for the petite assistant. If their artist was cozying up to th
