The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 245

“When?” He said after a moment of silence.

“It seemed like it leaked from the company.” Assistant Yu answered.

“Okay.” He leaned his back to relax on his seat and tightened his hold of October.

October looked at Lexus who was looking as apathetic as always and sighed.

“When did you contact them?” She asked.

Lexus slightly lifted the corner of his mouth before replying, “I didn’t tell them. Someone must have contacted them when realizing that we were in trouble.”

“Ah.” October remembered about Josh in the store and finally nodded her head. That was possible too. But the frown on her face was still there. This made Lexus worry.

“Say.”

October looked at him and shook her head. “I’m just tired.”

Yes. She felt like today was the longest day she had ever had in her entire life. A lot of things had happened and all were big.

First was that moment in her office, then she met Lu Xing who claimed herself as Lexus’ fiancé approved by Grandmother Song. After that was when she had her prenatal check-up, it was revealed that they were having twins. Then the store. Inside and outside, wherever it was, she was experiencing a lot of things.

Lexus felt like his heart broke as he saw the tired face of October. He felt sorry for her that he could not take away her worries. He pulled her to him and let her rest her head on his strong c.h.e.s.t.

“Rest. I’ll wake you up when we arrive at the place I have made a reservation with for our dinner.”

October made herself comfortable next to Lexus. After settling, she eventually fell asleep.

Noticing October’s shallow and even breathing, Lexus stroked her hair gently and kissed her head.

‘Ha! I thought I could not name my daughter. It seems like fate had really wanted me to have the opportunity of naming my child.’ He thought smilingly. ‘That old man, how dare he stole that opportunity. But I can finally think of a name. I’ll choose a very nice and resounding name for her.’

Lexus was adamant on having daughters as his children. If it was a male, there was a big possibility that it would look and act like him. Wouldn’t that be too troublesome?

He, unknowingly and surprisingly, acknowledged that he could not help much.

That was why he wanted to have daughters. Daughters are cute, sweet, cuddly, and would most likely be someone that resembled his beautiful wife.

Assistant Yu, who had accidentally saw a glimpse of Lexus weird smile, he silently shook his head and helplessly and bitterly smiled.

Not long later that October and Lexus drove off, stepped out of the corner and looked at the direction where October went. His gaze was deep and thoughtful. His eyes flickered with complex emotions. But one thing was sure, there was longing in it.

His heart thumped loudly in his c.h.e.s.t making his beautiful brows to furrow.

“Zhi, what are you doing there?” A woman’s voice called him from the back. She slowly walked toward him with a light and sweet smile on her pretty face. Her eyes showed her great infatuation with him.

“Elise.” He said, looking down on the woman who he had called as Elise. She clung onto his arm and snuggled.

“Something wrong?” She asked and looked around but there was nothing out of the ordinary. Aside from the people who were running off with their cameras, it was a normal street.

Zhihuan shook his head and smiled gently at her. “Nothing. I thought I saw someone familiar.”

Elise felt her heart dropped. Her hold of his arm tightened and the hand on her side balled into fists. Uneasiness spread on her and filled her heart with worry and anxiety.

‘Did he meant that he saw October?’ Elise bit her lip and lowered her head in order for Zhihuan to not see her unusual look. ‘No. That’s impossible. October still has work. She can’t be out right now considering that she was such a workaholic.’

Elise tried to calm herself. After a few moments, she regained her smile and nodded her head. “Okay.”

“So where do you wanna go?” She asked.

Zhihuan thought for a while and his eyes wandered around. Soon, his gaze landed on the clothing store near them and pointed there. “Let’s go there.”

Elise curiously looked at the store and instantly, her eyes shone brightly and became elated. “Oh my gosh! I’ve always wanted to go there but does not have any time to do so. Let’s go. You really know my taste, Zhi.”

Zhihuan pursed his lips, feeling complicated on the inside. He also does not know why he chose the store. He only thought that it was where October came out with a man next to her. Because he was a distance away, he was not able to hear the conversation but judging from October’s closeness with the man, he can say that the two has some sort of a special relationship.

His heart suddenly felt like it got pricked. He frowned. ‘What is this? Why am I feeling like this?’

“Zhi? Come on, let’s go.” Elise’s urging voice followed by her bell-like giggles pulled him out of his reverie. He blinked his eyes and turned to look at Elise’s clear eyes. He smiled.

“Let’s.” This time, he was the one that was leading her toward the store.

As soon as they entered, they saw a burly man on a table littered with papers with drawings on it. It was clear that he was the chief designer and probably also the owner of the store.

Elise looked around the store with great enthusiasm. She did not care about the designer before them. Instead, she directed her sparkling eyes toward the designer clothes on the racks and mannequins.

But Zhihuan, a model and was dreaming on becoming an international model and aspiring actor, the sight of the burly man before him was blinding him. It felt like he had just found a treasure trove.

Without thinking much, he strode toward the burly man who he knew from the magazines he had read before. His strides were steady, confident, and quiet. It was as if he was walking on a runway.

Josh, who was busy thinking about what to design first for his summer collection, noticed the steady walking of someone. His ears perked up and looked up, curious as to whom it belonged to.

His perfectly curved brows curved even more when he raised it at the oncoming man, “Yes?”

“Hello. I am Zhihuan, an aspiring model who wanted to be an international model. I’ll be an asset in your collection, so hire.” He said with confidence. He had always say this almost to every designers he had met. He was handsome, young, a body that was well-toned, and a character that was very striking. So, he had always booked an event from them. This time too, he was confident that he will impress Josh.
