The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 249

The very next day, a big revelation was revealed. It was like a bomb that had exploded to everyone. The issue about the marriage of the notorious CEO of Heaven Company, Lexus Song, was instantly buried by this big news.

October was oblivious to all of this but because of Lexus, she was able to hear some of it while making their way to their work.

“I just received a call from Xi. He said that Peizhi had found out that his ex-wife, your mother, had given him a company that she had owned secretly.”

“Company? From my mother?” October frowned at this. Somehow, this did not seat well with her. She had never known her mother attending to any business trips or meetings. All she can remember was that she was always at home taking care of never.

October fell into deep thought. ‘Was this a company that grandpa gave her? How come he did not say anything about this at all?’

But she immediately shook her head. She did not care about what will happen to her father who she had already cut ties with. He can do what he wanted as long as he won’t mess with her. If so, then they can continue living like strangers just like they had usually did for the past 6 years now.

Lexus observed October’s face for any reaction but soon realized that the little woman was acting so unconcerned. He does not know how to feel about this.

He was driving and so he could not pull October into his arms to comfort her. Still, with his one hand on the stirring wheel, the free hand grabbed her small ones and held it firmly. He intertwined their fingers and gave it a reassuring squeeze as if saying that he was there for her.

The two fell into a comfortable silence.

“I asked mother about what food are good for pregnant women. In the end, she gave me a whole list.” Lexus bitterly smiled at the nagging and unwarranted worries from her. It was as if he was a reckless man who does not know how to take care of his wife and child…since he did not tell them about having twins lest they would insist on naming both children.

October looked at Lexus and saw his side profile, with the corner of his lips tilted up. Her eyes also turned gentle and squeezed his hand back.

“Why did you ask about that?” A playful smile made it’s way on her clean face.

Lexus took a quick look on her face and the smile on his face became more prominent. “I brought you your packed lunch. I asked the chef from the villa next door to prepare it for you. And I also got you some yogurt.”

October giggled. She was really moved by his thoughtfulness. “Why are you bring like this?”

“What? Can’t I just take care of my pregnant wife?” Lexus raised his brow at this but his eyes were glowing playfully.

She looked at him who was saying this playfully yet very serious too. Her heart was filled with warmth; it was overflowing even. And this overflowing emotions opened her tear ducts for some reason and the tears just started to cover her eyes, making it blurry.

Lexus noticed her silence and took a quick peek on her direction only to find her tears flowing out of her eyes. Though her face was still a bit stoic, those water are tears! There was no mistaking it.

“What happened? Why are you crying? Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere? Do you want to go to the hospital? Let’s go immediately? I’ll take you there now?” Lexus cursed as his grip on the stirring wheel tightened significantly until it turned blue. His face were filled with worry and his heart was screaming with anxiety.

“No, I’m fine.” October got out of her daze and was a bit taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

“Then why are you crying?”

“I’m…crying?” October’s eyes widened by a fraction and slowly touched her cheek that was slightly wet. “Uh…I really am crying.”

Lexus furrowed his brows tightly. He was a bit lost. He tried to calm himself and pointed out the obvious to his wife, “Why are you more surprised than me?”

October looked at him then to his hand that was a bit wet and then back to his frowning face. She lightly smiled and sheepishly said, “Got emotional, I guess.”

Lexus shook his head and went to rub October’s cheeks and wiped her tears in the process. He was really speechless. So getting pregnant make women become too emotionally unstable?

It did not take long before Lexus stopped in front of October’s working place. However, this was not the usual drop-and-go routine. Lexus had also got out of the car, went to grab October’s packed lunch and went to October’s side.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing. Just giving my wife a goodbye kiss.” He said and went to drop a kiss on her forehead. “Your lunch. Eat it all.”

October felt her eyes getting watery again but she blinked her eyes and forced herself to stop from crying again.

“Thanks.” She muttered while nodding her head and went inside. But as soon as she stepped inside the building, all eyes were on her. She was not bothered by it at first, but the more she walked inside, the more she felt that something was wrong.

The employees usually were carefree, easygoing, and let out giggles or laughs. But today, none of that happened. They were too silent today.

‘I have to ask Xixi what happened.’

October did not show much on her face but inside, she was a bit worried. She hurried her steps and went to the elevator. And then, she met Director Sheng’s secretary.

“Director Park, a meeting has been called. You are the only one left that has yet to arrive.” The secretary respectfully said. However, it can be said that she was a little out of it.

October pursed her lips. Just from the sound of her voice, she knew that something serious has happened to the company. However, she did not know of this meeting at all. She got into the elevator with the secretary.

“Was this called just now?” She asked. “Also, where is Yun Xixi?”

“No, director. The meeting has been called late last night.” She answered solemnly with a frown on her freckled face. “As for the second question, Xixi just called in saying that she would take a leave for a few days.”

“I did not receive any notice last night.”

“…” The secretary did not say anything. She looked as if she had already expected that answer.

Finally, the door opened and the two immediately walked toward the meeting room.

October entered and immediately the unending and deafening silence in there. She went to her designated seat but before she could even pull and sit on her chair, a voice she did not expect to be there was there.

“Glad you could make it. I thought you were never going to be here with us.” He said with a smile that was not a smile. It was cold even and his eyes showed disgust but it was instantly covered up with another sort of emotion.

“You…why are you here?” October could not hide her surprise at the person she had never thought she would ever see in the company she was working at.
