The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 221

“What are you doing?”

October’s voice sounded from the door. Her face was icy cold that one could see frost over her face. And her voice was low yet loud enough for the people inside the room to hear. But her tone was so dark and full of thorns.

Her face may not have cracked to show her obvious anger, but her eyes were not blank. Right now, her eyes were like that of a deep dark forest in a raging storm, fierce, strong, and cold.

“O-October! Y-you’re back.” Elise was startled. Her eyes widened in surprise and her body froze making her unable to move. She felt uncomfortable under the piercing eyes of October and so lowered her eyes and bit her lip uneasily.

Lexus can feel October’s rage boiling in her. He became fl.u.s.tered and harshly pushed Elise away from him. Just from the suspicious look that his wife was using while looking at him was not the least bit pleasant, he knew that October was misunderstanding something.

His whole body broke out into cold sweats and his heart was jumping rapidly in his c.h.e.s.t. Dread filled his heart. With big strides, Lexus arrived in front of October in a second.

“It’s not what you think.” Lexus frantically explained himself. He does not want his wife to be suspicious of him.

However, October only gave him a look that immediately shut him up.

“Yes. I’ll be quiet.” Lexus stood by the side like an obedient puppy. His energy was down and he felt so wronged. He did not do anything and yet his wife was giving him such a painful look.

After knowing that Lexus had backed without much protest, October’s icy cold eyes rested on Elise. Her back was straight and the atmosphere she was giving off was strong and oppressive that it instantly weighed heavily on Elise.

Elise’s heart dropped into her stomach as her heart drummed nervously in her c.h.e.s.t. She could not move and fear crept into her.

‘What is this? Why is October looking at me like that?’ Elise unconsciously swallowed a lump in her throat and trembled. She felt her knees getting weak.

Under October’s mighty presence, she felt so small. This also made her so surprised. She was taken aback and could not believe that there would come a time wherein she would feel fear toward October.

“Elise…” October started, watching Elise with her sharp eyes.

Startled, Elise flinched and snapped her head toward October. But as soon as their eyes met, she looked away. Guilty gnawed in her.

“It was good to see you. But I am already a bit tired so we will take our leave.” She said this flatly, without an ounce of emotion. “The bill’s on us.”

October turned around to walk out of the private room. Lexus, having been ignored and feeling abandoned, he frantically followed her.

Elise was left dumbfounded in the private room. Then, she breathed out loudly. She did not know that she was holding her breath. She remembered October dark look and shuddered. Somehow, that kind of October was different. She did not see her friend act and look like that.

October’s gaze was dark as if a predator glaring at it’s prey. It was terrifying.

When calm people snapped, it’s terrifying.

This was the final thought that Elise had in her mind as she dropped herself into her seat with a blank look on her face.

*Pop*

Elise’s phone made a popping sound. She automatically went to get it and opened the message.

[Are you still with them? Were you able to stir them up?] – Fu Yung

With a blank look on her face, Elise read the message from Fu Yung. Her grip on her phone tightened and hate filled her eyes.

‘That b*tch! I hate her! I want to rip the sh*tty face of hers.’ She raised her phone, planning to throw her phone with all of her frustration. But she was stopped her phone sounded again.

*Pop*

With furrowed brows, Elise opened the message without looking at the sender.

[Hey cutie. Where are you? I miss you.]

‘How did it come to this?’

Meanwhile, in the parking lot, October walked toward their car with Lexus silently following her. Lexus had wanted to say something but no sound would escape his lips. It was as if all of the words that will come out of his mouth right now would only sound like excuses. He does not want that.

The other reason would be the air that shrouded his wife.

With that, he chose to stay silent and wait for the right time. But after a few seconds then minutes, when they’re already on the road on their way home, October did not open her mouth and even turned to look at him.

Lexus found himself in such a dilemma so difficult he does not know what to do. The problems in his company was no match with the problem he was facing right now. He was really troubled.

‘This will not do.’ He told himself and went to stop on the side of the bustling road.

“Are you angry?”

“What kind of question is that?” October snapped, her eyes glaring at him before returning her gaze in front.

Lexus nodded with a helpless look on his face. “I don’t know why you’re angry.”

“I’m sorry.” Lexus grabbed both of October’s hands and kissed it gently. His face was down and sad, almost like he was about to cry. “Wifey, don’t be angry anymore. If I did something wrong, tell me and I’ll correct it. Forgive me, ‘kay?”

Lexus’ pleading voice sounded so close in October’s ear. Of course, to have him sound so wretched like this made October’s heart to squeeze in pain too. She shifted her head and look at him who had his forehead resting on her hands that he was holding.

She could not him now that he was looking like this, looking at her with pleading eyes. Sure enough, her heart softened.

“No, I’m sorry. I was just jealous.” She told him the truth. She was already feeling like that when they were still not in the private room. But when she saw Elise getting too close with Lexus, she finally snapped as jealousy poured to her like a bucket of cold water. “I…I don’t like you getting too close with other girls.”

Lexus was struck again by the lover’s arrow.

He could no longer suppress his emotions and pulled October to him and kissed her sweet lips. It was deep and fierce, a hunter eating his prey. Despite his intense kisses, October did not retaliate and just let him be.

After a few minutes, both were panting heavily. Lexus lowered his head and rested on October’s shoulders.

“I thought you would leave me.” Lexus finally heaved a sigh of relief.

October frowned at this. She wondered why he had come up with that kind of conclusion.

“I’d never do that.”
