บททั้งหมดของ Be Gentle With Me, Mr. CEO: บทที่ 201 - บทที่ 210

In a moment of desperation, Calla didn't have time to think. She rushed forward and snatched Casper from Mercer's arms. Then, she scolded Mercer, "Why are you yelling so loudly? You're going to scare the child!"Though Mercer looked pissed, he didn't argue with Calla's reproach. He silently watched Casper who looked upset, curled up in Calla's arms. Mercer's face showed a trace of remorse."Casper, it's okay. Don't be afraid. Let me take you outside to get some sun, alright?" Calla gently stroked Casper's head.Although unable to speak, Casper understood Calla and pointed his chubby finger at the door.Then, Calla carried Casper outside and walked around the small garden. She played with him and kept him entertained.Soon, not only did Casper calm down, but he also occasionally burst into laughter. The frightened Casper from earlier had completely gone.Yet, while Casper was happy, Calla found herself unable to leave. Casper's little hands were tightly wrapped around Calla's neck

"Calla, you're an idiot. You can go to the orphanage and investigate it yourself. There's a set of formal procedures that must be followed when adopting orphans," Alicia said."That's right, but I don't know which orphanage Mercer adopted Casper from." Calla expressed her distress.Alicia thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you think Hazel, Casper's nanny, might know?"After contemplating, Calla said, "I heard she's been taking care of Casper since the beginning. I'll go there one day and try to get some information from her. Honestly, I miss Casper a lot." "Oh Calla, you're done for. Mercer used to have you head over heels, and now his son has you pining for him day and night. If they team up, you won't stand a chance," Alicia teased."You're always making fun of me about this. I'd like to see what kind of person will come and sweep you off your feet someday." Calla rolled her eyes at Alicia."He probably hasn't been born yet!" Alicia laughed heartily.A moment later, Calla

"Ms. Sherman?"Calla knew her visit was somewhat abrupt, considering she had no direct relationship with Casper."Hazel, I was in the neighborhood for some errands today, so I thought I'd drop by to see Casper. I’ve been missing him." Calla plastered a smile onto her face, for she was truly not good at lying."Please come in. Casper is sleeping right now." Hazel led Calla inside, gesturing for her to keep quiet.Calla tiptoed into the living room. Seeing the cute little one asleep in his crib, she couldn’t help but walk over. Casper lay under a blue blanket with cartoon prints, sleeping soundly. There was a bit of drool at the corner of his mouth, and his chubby little hands were raised above his head. He looked both silly and adorable.Calla took a tissue and gently wiped away the drool from Casper’s mouth. Her eyes were filled with deep affection."Ms. Sherman, have a glass of water." Hazel placed a glass of water on the coffee table."Thank you." Calla turned and sat on the

This time, Calla had an unexpected gain. Hazel casually mentioned that Casper was adopted from Happy Hearts Orphanage in Riverford.Hearing this news, Calla was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night. The next morning, she skipped work and headed straight to Happy Hearts Orphanage.Everything went smoothly at the orphanage, and Calla soon met the principal. She explained her purpose, saying that she once had a child whose fate was unknown. She wanted to check the adoption records from the previous winter.The principal, Betty, was a woman in her 50s. She wore gold-rimmed glasses and was neatly dressed, with a kind face and approachable demeanor.Hearing Calla's request, Betty readily agreed. She had someone bring the records of infants received and adopted at that time. When Betty handed the record book to Calla, she felt its weight, and her hands trembled slightly."Ms. Sherman, please take a look," Betty said with a smile. Calla lowered her head and began to leaf thro

Peggy was still envious of Calla for winning over Mercer. After all, Peggy had used every trick in the book to charm Mercer, but he never spared her a glance."I bet you don't even have a chance to fly," Calla sneered. "What did you just say?" Peggy exploded in anger. "I don't repeat myself." Calla glared at her. Seething, Peggy stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Calla again. At that moment, a figure swiftly approached and seized Peggy's wrist. Calla didn't feel the pain on her face. When she looked up, she saw Pierre standing in front of her. With a push of his hand, Peggy sprawled onto the ground. "Ouch!" Peggy yelped, landing hard and grimacing in pain."Are you alright?" Pierre asked Calla. His voice filled with concern as he noticed the blood at the corner of her mouth. "I'm fine." Calla shook her head, looking down to see that her collar had been torn by Peggy. "Who are you? Are you even a man? How dare you hit a woman!" Peggy had already gotten to her fe
