37. Misunderstanding
“Mia, have you seen Gabriella?” Max asked as soon as he left the room.
"I saw her following Mr. Sebastian." Her index finger pointed towards the room of the man she mentioned.
The CEO's eyes spontaneously opened wide. "What are they doing?"
The secretary could only grin. “I … don't know, Sir. I just told Mr. Sebastian about—”
Max already walked away with his brows furrowed in displeasure.
“How dare that woman accuse me of wanting to divorce her, whereas she's with another man,” the CEO muttered with his fists tightly clenched. He didn't notice that he breath had turned heavy.
Unlike the door to his room which was completely made of wood, there was a transparent glass box on the door of the secretary's room. As soon as Max peeked from there, Gabriella was seen sitting opposite Sebastian who was laughing casually.
"Since when did they become friends?" Max thought before snorting.
Before he could reach the doorknob, his he

At five in the afternoon, Max finally returned to the room. With a sour look and a wheezing breath, he stared at the door that separated him from his wife. "Has she finished the task or has she run off with another man?" the man guessed as he had been blinded by jealousy. Roughly, he opened the door. A second later, his eyes widened. There was only a sheet of paper on the table and a small bag at its corner. The roar of the man's breath automatically grew wilder. "She dared to disobey my orders?" Wasting no time, Max sped into the next room. "If she's really there, don't expect me to apologize." Suddenly, Sebastian came out of the room carrying a bag. When he saw the CEO, his eyebrows arched high. "What's the matter, Max? Is there something urgent we need to discuss?” the secretary asked with a flat blink. "Are you going home already?" the man inquired with the suspicious furrowed brow. "Yes, my work is done. Wh
CEO's Love in Trap 39. Max's Little Secret
"Tsk, what should I do?" Max thought as he ruffled his hair. That man's gaze was still fixed on the back that shook in sorrow. "Am I being too hard on her?" After a few seconds, Gabriella was still curled up in tears. Her sad sobs made Max's heart more uneasy. Grinning, the man considered the situation. "Should I calm her down?" he muttered doubtfully. After taking a deep breath, Max finally lifted his wife. Unexpectedly, Gabriella's crying stopped in surprise. Her red eyes were then fixed on her husband, full of questions. Every now and then, her shoulders jerked with the remnants of sobs. "No need to be surprised. I just don't want you to bother me anymore,” Max said as he led his wife to the sofa. There, he gently lowered Gabriella and handed her the lunch box. “Eat! Auntie has kindly delivered it to you." A second later, Max returned to the secret room, leaving the woman in amazement. "Is he not mad at me anymore?"

All the way to the airport, Max couldn't stop observing his wife. Gabriella looked cheerful, very different from usual. "What happened in that room? Why did she suddenly forget her sadness while her eyes are still swollen?" the man thought, pretending to focus on his tablet. Arriving on the plane, something more surprising came. The woman suddenly grabbed Max's hand as the plane was about to take off. "What are you doing?" the man whispered, unable to hide his astonishment any longer. "Doesn't this make you comfortable?" Gabriella said with adorable round eyes. The husband could not even blink at her. After one breath, Max put his palm on his wife's forehead. "You don't have a fever," he muttered after detecting a normal body temperature. Confusion was piling higher and higher in his mind. "I'm fine. Don't worry. I won't bother you anymore," Gabriella whispered before looking out the window. There was absolutely no sadn
CEO's Love in Trap 41. Wrong Guess
As soon as he got out of the bathroom, Max was wide-eyed because he just found Cherry on the bed. After looking around and still not finding his wife, an annoyed sigh wafted from his mouth. “Why did she leave her husband with another woman? Is she completely heartless?” the man grumbled before looking at Cherry with disgust. “This woman … always troubles me. Tsk, I should have just let her cry in the lobby. She's the one who canceled the marriage, but why am I the one who get trouble? If I didn't try to be a good friend, I would have enjoyed a peaceful dinner." A second later, Max's eyebrows were pushed up. His words just reminded him of the promise to his wife. Quickly, he turned to face the table which was already full of dishes. An incredulous sigh immediately floated in the air. “Why did she return to her room? Does she want to let me have a dinner alone?” the man grumbled as he walked over to the surprise prepared by his wife. As soon as

Witnessing such a reaction, Max's guilt suddenly doubled. While furrowing his brows, he tried to touch his wife's shoulder. "Gabriella, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been rude to you," Max said with a dry tongue. The woman did not answer. She continued to wash her wounded heart with tears. “I really went too far. Please forgive me." Again, Gabriella was silent. Her sadness was too great to accept the apology she doubted. Getting no response, Max sighed in resignation. Gently, he embraced the woman. “What can I do to heal you?” the man whispered while stroking his wife's hair. A few seconds passed, Gabriella was still sobbing in the warm arms. The woman was too tired to deal with the situation. Silence or resistance, both of them were not able to get rid of the tightness. Suddenly, Max was moved to grab his wife's fingers. As soon as the soft palm opened, the man's heart broke. Three slashes had pulled him into a deep abys

"Would you like to help me find a woman like that?" Max asked, testing his wife's curiosity."I just want to be more careful the next time I meet the woman of your dream," Gabriella replied with a straight face.Seeing that seriousness, the corner of Max's lips curled up. "Okay, take a note. I like a woman who is soft-hearted, peaceful, independent, and doesn't bother other people."Gabriella's brows automatically furrowed. "Are you making fun of me?" the woman asked in a displeased tone.Max immediately shook his head. "No. That's really the criteria for my ideal woman. Besides, I like sweet, innocent, not vindictive—""Okay, that's enough. I already know. You like a woman who is the opposite of me,” Gabriella interrupted, raising her palm.Witnessing his wife's annoyance, Max suddenly frowned. "Why are you upset? Do you expect me to like you?”Instead of answering, the woman grumbled, “How cruel this man is.
CEO's Love in Trap 44. You Are My Snowy
An idea suddenly crossed Gabriella's mind, the one that she was reluctant to admit. "There's no way Max loves me. He must be talking nonsense. Max Evans won't understand what Snowy means to me. He shouldn't use my teddy as an analogy," the woman thought before asking doubtfully. "What do you mean?" "Don't you think our lives are similar? You have to fight alone without anyone to support you sincerely.” The woman stared at Max's words. It was the first time she had heard her husband being so open and honest. “Then, what does it have to do with my teddy?” Gabriella inquired with furrowed brows. Max's bitter smile added her confusion again. “You're lucky to have Snowy who can calm your restlessness. When you cry and need strength, you can immediately hug him. But I … I didn't have anyone before you came.” A strange feeling suddenly filled Gabriella's heart. "Before I came?" she murmured, accompanied
CEO's Love in Trap 45. Cherry's Charade
As soon as she opened her eyes, Cherry immediately groaned and held her heavy head. The smell of alcohol wafted from her breath made a frown. However, as soon as her brain checked memory, the woman's eyes opened wide. “Does my plan work? He doesn't know my lie, does he?” A second later, Cherry looked around. The corners of her lips pulled up when she found her bare body under the blanket. “Apparently, my plan works,” she muttered before giggling coquettishly. “But, where's Max? And, why is this room so dark?” the lady thought as she watched the thick curtain that blocked the sunlight. Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening. In a flash, the woman who was still lying down, took off the blanket and put on a seductive pose. "That must be Max. Let's see what he will do to me," the impostor thought behind her tightly closed eyes. She had absolutely no idea that the person was not the man she wanted. "Cherry's still sleeping?
