Sweet Surrender: The Ceo’s Second Wife - Chapter 295
Alex’s car was now entering the city proper.
Fifteen minutes later, he parked his car in front of a convenience store which was located fifteen minutes away from the Blue Bell Residences. Several taxicabs were lining up waiting for passengers in the corner.
Alex released a deep gloomy sigh. He looked at Caroline, misty-eyed. “Please…don’t block my phone number, sweetheart, I begged you. I promised you, I won’t call you every day. I just want to hear your voice from time to time. You don’t have to answer my call, you don’t have to tell me anything, I just want to hear your voice…okay?”
Caroline sighed. “Alright, as long as you don’t bombard me with your calls and text messages. I will allow you to hear my voice…” she said. She replaced Alex’s name on her phone with a woman’s name just in case her husband will look into her phone.
Alex bends towards her face and kissed her lips goodbye. “I’m going to miss you so much!” he said as a tear fell from his left eye.
Caroline wiped the tear from his face. “Don’t cry for me, Alex,” she said.
“I can’t help it…” Alex replied sadly.
“You take care of yourself,” Caroline said and put the sunglasses on her eyes.
Alex also took his sunglasses from the glove compartment and put it on his eyes.
They both exited the vehicle, Alex opened the trunk of his car and picked up Caroline’s traveling bag. They walked towards the nearest taxi cab.
Alex put the bag in the taxi’s trunk. Caroline went to his side and planted a quick kiss on his cheek. “Goodbye Alex…” she said softly and entered the taxi. She gave the address to the Blue Bell Residences.
Alex remained rooted on the spot unable to move as he watched the taxicab going forward joining the rest of the multitude of cars moving towards East Avenue. When he can no longer see the taxi cab, he returned to his car, driving towards the Blue Bell Residences.
A few minutes later. He caught sight of the taxicab as Caroline exited the vehicle and took her bag from the trunk. Then she proceeds to enter the building. “Goodbye sweetheart…” he murmured dejectedly and drove away going back to his mansion.
~o0o~
Inside the building.
Caroline entered the elevator feeling excited to see her babies.
Five minutes later, she was already outside the door of their marital abode. She input her password on the system scanner and the door opened.
She made her grand entrance.
She walked towards the living room and saw the two maids holding baby Suzanne and baby Justin in their arms.
“Good afternoon, Ma’am Caroline! Welcome back!” the maids greeted her.
“Good afternoon, girls.” Caroline smiled at them. “Oh, my babies!” She rushed to their side and took baby Suzanne in her arms and showered her chubby cheeks with kisses.
“Bring baby Justin to the room,” she told the maid.
The maid obeyed and brought baby Justin to the master’s bedroom. The other maid brought the traveling bag inside the room.
The maid put baby Justin in the bed, Caroline did the same to baby Suzanne.
“Girls, you can go now. I’ll call you if I need your assistance. I just want to spend some quiet moments with my children,” Caroline said.
“Yes, Ma’am!” the maid replied in unison.
“There’s ready to eat dishes prepared in the dining room, Ma’am, just in case you are hungry. Madam Susan was the one who ordered the food from her favorite restaurant,” Guada said.
“Okay, thanks!” Caroline said. She was not in the mood to eat at this time. What she wanted to do right now is to spend time with her babies. “Wait… where is your Sir Mike?” she asked because she didn’t see him when she enters their abode.
“He went outside the house to take care of something. He will be back anytime now,” replied Guada.
‘”Okay,” Caroline said and shifted her attention to her babies.
The maids exited the bedroom quietly.
Caroline was watching her babies lovingly. She was only gone for two months and yet they were getting bigger… and fatter…oh my…she giggled and planted feathery kisses on their cheeks, their arms, and their legs.
The infants were wriggling their arms and legs looking at their mother with a bright smile on their faces.
Tears of happiness flooded Caroline’s face. She lies in bed beside her cute healthy babies. Huge relief washed over her, she’s finally home, at last, and was reunited with her beloved children.
Meanwhile…
Outside the master’s bedroom.
Guada was busy texting Madam Susan and Catherine ~ informing them that Caroline finally arrived home and currently spending time with the infants in the master’s bedroom.
A moment later.
Mike entered the door. “Where is she?” he asked the maids.
“She’s inside the master bedroom with the babies, Sir,” Guada replied quickly.
Mike sauntered towards the master’s bedroom and opened the door.
Caroline raised her head and met her husband’s gaze.
They locked eyes for a few seconds.
“So…you’re back! Having a good time with your lover Alex?” Mike said.
A few seconds of awkward silence fell upon them.
Caroline released a deep sigh. She lowered her gaze and shifted her attention back to her children. “How about you? I’m sure you enjoyed f.u.c.k.i.n.g that woman on the night you intentionally didn’t turn off our conversation on the phone enabling me to hear your s.e.x.u.a.l escapades with her…” she answered in a calm voice.
Mike sighed. “I’m not going to deny that. How about you?…are you going to keep denying that Alex is not your lover?” he glared at her.
Caroline shrugged. She could deny that she wasn’t with Alex, that she didn’t betray him with another guy and insist on her innocence to the end but she wanted to see how he will react if she will admit that Alex is her lover. She wanted to see the pain in his eyes because when she discovered that he was bedding another woman on that particular night, her heart died.
She looked into his eyes. “You know what… Alex is just a friend of mind. We didn’t have any relationship other than friendship, but on the night I hear you having s.e.x with your mistress…I offered him my body and we had s.e.x all night long on the same night you f.u.c.k that woman. Now you hear the truth…we’re even now! Anything else?” she confessed her illicit affair with Alex to her husband’s bravely. He was looking at her furiously.
Mike’s hands formed into a fist. “You are a s.l.u.t!” he hissed fuming mad.
Caroline smiled, amused. “When a woman had an affair outside marriage…she is called a s.l.u.t! But when a husband had a mistress…well…not much reaction because the society is forgiving. The majority of the men get away with their extramarital affairs. However, women were condemned…while men were easily forgiven! This society is a f.u.c.k.i.n.g joke!” she gritted her teeth, careful not to raise her voice. She doesn’t want to give the maids the illusion that she and Mike were already quarreling on the first day of their reconciliation.
Mike’s chest was heaving up and down. He was trying to control his rage. “You’re no longer clean! You broke our marriage vows!” he accused her.
Caroline looked at him in the eyes. “And so are you! You did it first!” she retorted back boldly. “I have to remind you that I was only having an illicit affair with another guy because you make me mad on that night. If you didn’t do it, I won’t also do it! Now you know how painful it is to be betrayed by your partner!” she said.
Mike sat on the chair, his body turning cold and numb. He was having a hard time coping with the pain after hearing the ugly truth that his wife was also having an affair with another guy. The sickening truth hurt him so badly!
A suffocating silence descended in the room.
