All Chapters of Marrying a Disabled CEO in My Sister's Place: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Did you see, Massimo? Doesn’t Mommy look like a princess?”Once again, Alice was forced to look up at him, surprised when she realized that he had approached without her noticing. Now, he was right in front of her face, his once emotionless expression now seemed focused on her, as if he was unable to tear his eyes away from her.“You...” he finally spoke, his lips emitting a low hiss, as if he were out of breath “You look beautiful. Millie is right.”“Uh… Thank you.” Alice cleared her throat, struggling to act like she wasn't totally out of her comfort zone at that moment, especially since Millie was looking at the two of them like she was watching a Disney movie “But... Shouldn't we go? I think I've already delayed you enough...”

“Thank you for your kindness.” Alice smiled, making all the men look at her with disdainful surprise, almost as if they didn't imagine that she knew how to speak “I'm very happy that you were attentive enough to realize that my husband would need a good environment to continue his amazing job. If you need suggestions for architects, please don't hesitate to ask. It will be my pleasure to help so that my husband can return to his position as quickly as possible, as I know you all certainly want that too. I mean, how could you not be, after the news I saw earlier today that the shares of the food company, which is part of the Bianchi Group, fell?” she smiled sweetly, as all of their expressions turned cold, a far away from the confidence of seconds ago.“You didn’t want to close the contract with that Russian supplier, did you?” Massimo rolled his eyes “Well, a

From the snack table, Alice could still see, in the distance, Massimo, Emma and Dante talking. Or rather, Emma and Massimo having a low-key discussion while Dante seemed to try to mediate. God knew Massimo would be outraged if he knew how protective she felt towards him, but Alice couldn't help it. Just as she knew she couldn't meddle after he asked to face that woman alone, as he had done since he was a child.Head down and trying to convince herself that Emma wouldn't allow a real fight to break out to ruin her party, Alice looked ahead, searching across the huge table for Lucy to be at. Her husband had returned home after another business trip and so Lucy could never stay on her cell phone for long, but they had managed to talk long enough to know that they would both be there. Plus, there was a part of Alice that was genuinely curious to meet the woman named Ruby Bennett and find out if she really was

"Where were you?" Massimo’s voice reached her at the moment when Alice had just approached the drinks table, to drink something before being able to look for him “I was looking for you...”Chewing the inside of her cheek, Alice turned as the sound of his wheelchair's wheels came to a stop near her, expecting to find him angry that she had left him alone or suspicious as to why she had disappeared from the room to wandering around the Bianchi mansion... However, what she found on his face when their eyes met was just concern, which made her explanations evaporate for an instant.“I... I'm sorry. I needed to go to the bathroom.” She cleared her throat awkwardly.“Was that really all?” Massimo sighed, and only then could she see the annoyance behind his concern “While I w

“What a ridiculous thing!” Christopher cut off his wife, between his teeth “No one ever tried to intimidate Massimo! We were all just kids playing. Now, as I was saying...”“I'm always so happy to know someone thinks the same as me.” Miss. Bennett smiled, her once cold features changing completely as she turned to Lucy, acting as if Christopher wasn't there “I also suffered from exclusion from my classmates when I was a child, as I was the only scholarship student in my class. What worried me most was that none of them seemed to really understand why they were wrong. It’s rare, but also very good to realize that not all people born with money are like this.” With that bright smile, Ruby leaned forward a little towards Lucy, eliminating the centimeters of height difference between her, making Alice's best friend blush.
