All Chapters of Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Chapter 172 Jaxon had found out so many things had happened right under his nose, and he was at the center of it. Yet he had been unaware of everything. He glanced out the window of his car and stared absentmindedly at the sky. The sky had since gone dark and he could see some stars twinkling. He had spent longer than he planned to outside, and he hoped Ruby didn't wait up for him. She was pregnant and needed all the rest she could get. He got to the house, and he noticed there were no lights on, so he assumed Ruby had gone to bed. That thought lasted only a couple of minutes because he found Ruby waiting for him in the living room. "What are you doing here so late, you're supposed to be resting." Jaxon scolded at Ruby's figure curled up in her favorite chair. He sighed out frustrated because he didn't want to take his anger out on her. " Where's my grandfather? He already left?" He asked in a calmer voice and he got a nod from Ruby. "I think he was burnt out from a

Jaxon held Ruby’s waist as he led her through the graveyard. She tightly pressed her body into his as they passed various marble graves. The place was well taken care of. She could tell from how clean the headstones looked, there was not a speck of dust,the lush green grass was properly trimmed and there were vibrant flowers around. A testament that it was a place where the rich and affluent were put to rest in splendor. Jaxon stopped In front of a marble graveyard. It was gleaning under the sunlight and Ruby’s eyes burned when she looked at the headstone. She read her sister’s tombstone and tears started to fall from her eyes. Ruby’s heart felt heavy with grief as she stood before Kimberly’s grave. She wasn’t expecting herself to feel so much sadness over the woman that tried to kill her. She pulled away from Jaxon and walked closer to the grave. Her tears kept falling as she wept for her sister, she wept for the life she had lost, she wept for their relationship that had gone so

Jaxon's phone pinged beside him and he reached a handout and felt around his bedside table. His phone screen flashed and he squinted his eyes as the light from it nearly blinded him. He saw it was still quite early in the morning but he still considered it late. What had he set an alarm for again?He couldn't remember why he had set it or it could be that he was still groggy from sleep and that was why he couldn't remember. He glanced at the time again to make sure he wasn't seeing things but the time hadn't changed. To the average man, that was an early time to wake up but to him, it was late. He was usually up before then and he wondered why he had slept longer.He stretched his body on the bed and felt so refreshed. He hadn't slept that well in a while. Beside him, Ruby was still fast asleep and he took pleasure in just watching her sleep. He abandoned his phone back on the bedside table and scooted over until he was right next to her. He placed an arm around her to pull her close

"When did you find out about the contract?" He asked and June stilled."I don't -""Don't start with that bullshit talk of you not knowing what I'm talking about. You know exactly what I'm saying and I'm not going to repeat myself." He said annoyed."I- I" she stammered and Jaxon's nose flared in irritation."Oh, and I don't have all day so don't beat around the bush. I would advise you to stop acting like a weak lamb because I know what you did. I know about Serena." He told her and watched as June's eyes widened in shock. June remained silent for a while and her mouth kept opening and closing like a fish."I-i can explain." June let out slowly after she managed to find her voice."Knock yourself out. Don't leave out any details when you're "explaining" yourself, and just so you know, I'm not going to take things lightly with you. Not after what you did. And be careful how you answer this question because your life and company are at stake here.” Jaxon warned.June was taken aback, h

The clear sky had faded to a dark blue as the city shifted from day to night life. As Jaxon drove through the roads, he could see some night clubs that had started to open and some people on the streets were dressed elegantly for dinner.Jaxon was calm, or as calm as one could be after he had successfully dealt with the situation concerning June. He didn't want to think of it any longer, all he wanted to do was go home and be with his Gem.He pulled up outside the house and strolled in with the intention of surprising Ruby. But that plan changed when he got a whiff of a heavenly scent coming from the kitchen. Was that steak? The scent of roasted vegetables wafted through the air as well and he wondered what was going in the kitchen. And was Ruby making dinner?He was the one primarily in charge of cooking because Ruby didn't do so often. And he couldn't blame her either because she had a strong fear of fire and it would be cruel of him to put her in a place where she would frequently
