All Chapters of I Married A CEO Dad: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

[ Claire ]It’s been a week since we buried Thomas. We slowly moved on with our work and lives. Tristan talks very less, I gave him space to overcome his loss but it worried me how he shelled himself. Thomas advised me to stay close to Tristan because he might lose himself in his self agony.My work also took a toll over me. My father was making it difficult for me to work smoothly, he turned the senior staff against me who create hurdle in ongoing projects by putting their objections and I am running thin with my patience. I have to obtain a milestone to shut them and have an upper hand over them.“Ma’am, can we go for lunch, you skipped the breakfast today.” Miss Kim said as we buried ourselves in reading the reports submitted by the marketing team which didn’t look promising.I rubbed my throbbing temple and stretched my arms. My stomach growled with hunger.“I think you’re right. We need a break from this nerve wrecking study. We’re definitely sailing on a sinking ship, Miss Kim.

[ Tristan ]I blinked my eyes at my wife to process what she had just requested me. Caleb told her about her past’s love. I told him many times to not mention it in front of Claire because then, she’ll be chasing the blurred chapter of her life and according to her doctors, stress might have a reverse effect on her. I don’t want her to cost her life for her memories and right now, by the way her eyes hopefully looking at me, I knew she won’t sit quiet until she finds her answers.“It’s okay if you don’t want to help. I can understand that you’re dealing with a lot nowadays. Just forget it.” She said when she didn’t receive any respond from me.“Will you leave me if you find your true love?” I asked her because I wanted to know how she feels for me as a new person, for her I am still a stranger.“What kind of a question is this, Tristan? How can I answer you when I haven’t seen him yet?” She seemed speechless and unprepared to answer this.“It’s important for me to know, Claire. I am n

[ Claire ]“Ma’am, the food smells really delicious, we’re sure that Mr. Pierce will eat double tonight.” The maids giggled as I put the last dish on the counter and checked if everything was prepared.“I cooked my grandma’s special recipes. I hope he’ll like the food.” I said. I didn’t know I wanted him to love my food. I want to hear his praises.I put off the apron. I was smelling like spices myself. So, I decided to take a relaxing bath and shower before he arrives.“Please, check on the mousse and also arrange the table. I am going to shower.” I instructed them and rushed to my room. Travis was busy watching T.V. He was more excited than me when I told him that I’ll be cooking the dinner tonight. I really want to do something for both as they make my life more simple and pleasant.I took a long relaxing shower to get rid of sweat and tiredness. After the bath, I decided to wear a simple but elegant dress which doesn’t look over the top because I don’t want to give him a hint that

[ Claire ]“Mom, this is so much fun. I want to shot more balloons.” Travis clapped as we were on a toy shop, shooting the balloons for a big teddy bear but we failed at every attempt.“You both are losers. See, how I am going to shoot and win the big teddy bear in a single shot.” Tristan smirked giving us a stink eye like were real losers.Our mouth fell in an O shape and we glared him with crossed arms. Travis gestured me to give him my ear and he shared an evil idea with me to teach Tristan a lesson. I smirked as I thought of our plan.“You called us losers? Okay, you’ll do it and if you fail to win the teddy bear in single shot, you’ll have to do whatever we’ll ask you to do.” I challenged him.“Challenge accepted, losers.” He raised his collars and took the gun and aimed on a small balloon among big balloons of the same colour which had created ab illusion.“Hail for Mr. Champion!” We hooted.Tristan aimed the gun and narrowed his eyes for better position. We were eagerly waiting

[ Claire ]I took a relaxing bath after a long, eventful day and changed into my night pyjamas. I stared at my heat cheeks, the blush was visible because I was fretting with the thought of sleeping on the same bed as him.But I couldn’t stay inside the bathroom for long or he’ll suspect. As far as I know him, he’d again offer to sleep on the couch. It’s his property and I don’t want him to feel any discomfort. So, after debating for some time, I slowly stepped out of the bathroom. He was on a call but his half naked body was visible to me, his trousers hung low on his waist.His back was facing me, so he didn’t see me. I gulped hard, I could feel my core clenching as he was a sight for sore eyes, the way his muscles flexed, I ached to touch those perfect abs. And suddenly, he turned around and we came face to face.Our eyes met and he disconnected the call. I gaped at him with slacked jaws and wide eyes.“Since when are you standing here?” He asked me in a smooth voice.I looked away
