"Fiance. Interesting," Ryan said. He raised a brow at Luke and scoffed, "Weren't you the guy Fiona was making out with in the six-floor copy room? If she is your fiance, what were you doing swapping spits with another woman?" Ryan felt guilty for making Anna's face pale, but he figured it was better that she knew now than later. "What?" Anna asked. "Mister Kelly, you must be mistaken," Luke acted to laugh and said. "I was working overtime." "Exactly, you were working overtime with Fiona in the copy room, lips to lips," Ryan said. "No, Mister Kelly. You must have me mistaken for someone else," Luke said, slightly trembling. He turned to Anna and held her hand tightly. "It wasn't me, Kel. I swear. Mister Kelly just had me confused with someone else -" "Are you saying that I am blind?" Ryan asked coldly. "Wait," Anna said with her hands up. Her lips were shaking when she glanced at Ryan. She asked, "Mister Kelly, are - are you sure? Luke is my fiance." "I would not have bro

Anna was crying profoundly with her hands covering her face. She said, "I can't believe it. I can't believe it was that easy for him to throw away everything." Seeing Anna's pale face stained with tears crushed Ryan's heart. He wanted to comfort her, but he did not know how. At best, he said, "Pain makes you stronger. Heartache makes you wiser." Anna looked up to Ryan. Then, she looked around. He couldn't understand what she was looking for until she glanced back at him and asked, "Can I please get a hug?" "Oh," Ryan said. He sat next to Anna and offered his embrace. Anna cried some more until, finally, her tears ran dry. He had asked the hotel staff to bring them some water and offered her a glass. After Anna drank water, she said to Ryan, "Thank you so much for finding out the truth for me. I think I know what to do." With a smile, Anna took a deep breath. She convinced herself, "I know I'll get over this. The pain is still fresh." "Do you want to have dinner? Maybe it will ma

Anna felt like her blood was boiling inside. 'What did he say? I wasn't good enough for him?' She mused. His words echoed in her head. 'Watch me. I'll give Fiona the married life you have always wanted from me.' She angrily removed the ring on her finger and threw it in Luke's direction. Anna said, "Who wants a husband like you, anyway? Marry Fiona! You deserve each other!" "Damn right! Fiona is hotter than you," Luke said. "And she comes from a wealthy family, not like you. My mother would be celebrating right now that we are done." Luke picked up the ring and walked away just like that. Anna was panting, seeing Luke's back. She badly wanted to cry, but her pride got in the way. It was true that Luke's mother never approved of her due to her background. So, when Luke stood by her side, she gave everything to him: her time, attention, and her first. To give credit to Luke, he proved to be a wonderful partner during their two-year relationship. He was caring, sweet, and consi
Gone Too Long, The CEO Becomes A World-Class Doting Husband Chapter 121: Living With Ryan
"Anna, I'm sorry, but closing this deal will take over a month. Maybe I can help you pay the rent at your boss's place?" Macy, Anna's friend, said on the phone, describing the conditions of her business trip. "Or, I can send you money for the hotel. What do you think?" Anna was at Ryan's condo, cooking dinner on a Monday evening. Anna was about to serve the table when Macy updated her on her work status. Macy was the same friend Anna hoped to share an apartment with, the same one who lived in Appleton Suites, but with her gone, Anna's only option was to stay in a hotel temporarily. The problem was she did not have enough money. So, when the offer to stay with Ryan came to Anna, she took it, regardless of how little she knew about the executive assistant to the Thompson Group of Companies CEO. "Um," Anna bit her lip, thinking. The discounted rate Ryan could give her for the hotel room was a hundred dollars per night, which was very generous, considering the Diamond Hotel was a lux
Gone Too Long, The CEO Becomes A World-Class Doting Husband Chapter 122: The Thompson Siblings
While Ryan regularly rendered overtime with Anna in his office, across the globe, the Thompson family were all sunbathing by the beach. In that stretch of white sand partly shaded with coconut trees and other vegetation, they were lined up from left to right on their individual sun lounges, starting with Lucas, followed by Lily, Lace, Amara, Marcus, Shantelle, and Evan. Aiden was spreading lotion on Lily's arms. He said, "There you go, Mommy. Now, I'll add some more to your tummy!" "Thank you, Aiden. I love you," Lily said with a smile. Her eyes were closed, and the sunglasses shaded her view of the sky. "I could just sleep here and feel relaxed." "Hey, Aiden! Let's go for a swim!" Gunner appeared behind them just in time for Aiden to finish rubbing lotion on Lily's tummy. Lily opened her eyes briefly to admire the turquoise-blue lagoon on the beach with Aiden and Gunner swimming in the water. Just then, Lucas was checking his laptop. He remarked, "I can't believe I barely h

Lily's eyes lit up when Shauna called and asked about pregnancy symptoms. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "Oh, my god! Oh, my god, Shauna, congratulations! I can't believe it! You are -" "That's the thing! I don't think I am pregnant. The other day, I thought that my breast was swollen, and I have been feeling tired lately, but when I took a pregnancy test this afternoon, it was negative," Shauna responded on the phone, sounding woeful. Then, the next thing Lily heard was Shauna's sobbing. Shauna whispered her fears, "What if I'm barren? What if I'll never have a child with Axel's good looks? Then, Axel would leave me and -" "Haha!" Lily laughed her heart out. She was so amused at Shauna that her eyes watered. She said, "Shauna, Axel won't leave you. He loves you! Stop that. You are getting married! You are a little too dramatic, don't you think?" "Look, I did not get pregnant right away. It took Lucas and me a few tries before I got pregnant. Take your time. Enjoy your tim

"Doctor Chan? What is it?" Shantelle asked. The good doctor was acquainted with Shantelle. Doctors, despite having different specialties, often run into each other. "Doctor Shant." The obstetrician said before turning to Lucas, "Doctor Thompson. There is a super stealthy baby." "Super stealthy baby?" Lily asked. "What? Stealthy?" Aiden asked. "My brother or sister is sneaking around?" "Oh, my god," Shantelle finally spoke. "Are you saying -" "Yes," the doctor confirmed. "What?" Lily asked. Her face looked more complicated in each second that passed. "Mo/mo?" Lucas asked. "Yes, Doctor Thompson," Doctor Chan responded. "Mo/mo." "Mo/mo?" Evan was baffled. "Oh, my god! Mo/mo!" Shantelle said with her eyes widening. "What in the world is going on? And what is Mo/mo? Can somebody please speak English for me?" Lily requested, unable to bear the mystery. Evan laughed. He declared, "Lily, you'll have to get used to it. When you marry a doctor, you will often hear medical terms

"Come on, Aiden. Let's go get your mommy," Lucas said as he walked to the lift with Ryan, Axel, and his parents. "Coming, Dad!" Aiden responded while chasing after Lucas. Lily had texted Lucas that she and Shauna had gone to Ryan's condo with Anna. His assistant had miraculously accepted a female housemate, and the same had easily become friends with Lily and Shauna. They walked past Axel's condo first, and the latter let Abner and Martha in before they all made it to Ryan's flat. When they all entered Ryan's home, Lucas' brows drew together. Lucas stood by the living room, noticing the apparent changes to Ryan's abode. Ryan's previously black throw pillows were now covered in blue-green. He had a vase and a flower in the living room, and his curtains were also in the same shade as the throw pillows. "Sir, would you like some coffee? I have some Brazilian coffee beans," Ryan offered. "Would love some cappuccino," Lucas said. "Can you call my wife for me too?" "Here! Here!
