The Surrogate CEO's Child Bab 33
"How is Alexander, Frans?" Meri greeted Frans, who had just come down the stairs."There's nothing to worry about, Mom. Everything is fine. Alexander just caught a cold from soaking in the water for too long."Meri nodded. "Thank goodness.""Mama is not thinking negatively about Alexander anymore. He's doing well. Oh, by the way, Ma, it seems we need to talk for a moment. Do you have time?"Without much hesitation, Frans thought he would act as an intermediary to convey Alexander's feelings to his mother."Of course, for Mamang's child, anything. You and Alexander are the same in Mama's eyes. Let's talk in the living room. It's not comfortable to talk here, as there are several household assistants passing by, and you wouldn't want them to overhear our conversation.""Sure." Frans put his arm around Meri's shoulder and led the middle-aged woman to the living room. There, Frans would talk to Meri. Eye to eye, discussing according to Alexander's account earlier. He hoped that after list

"Can I go home now?" Cesilia asked, wiping off her makeup. After a three-hour photoshoot, she now wanted permission to return home and see Alexander. A few hours ago, Alexander had told her that he wouldn't be reachable for a few hours because Frans had given him sleeping pills."You can, but around ten o'clock tonight," Maxime replied nonchalantly, not even looking at Cesilia as he was busy with his phone in hand. He seemed serious about something on his phone."Tomorrow, I don't have any schedules, it seems. Can I just stay home? Alexander is sick, and I promise I won't do anything with my husband," Cesilia made one last effort for permission."No one can guarantee that, so I won't give you more time than I have set. You come home at ten o'clock tonight, and at seven in the morning, you should be at my apartment. I'll send you the address to your phone. I'll wait for you there.""Maxime, please," Cesilia approached him. "Don't be like this, Alexander might get suspicious if there's

"I thought when you knew I was sick, you had the intention of coming home last night," Alexander immediately confronted Cesilia with sarcasm as he saw her entering the room.It was 9:00 in the morning, which was not the time Cesilia had promised him. Last night, if he remembered correctly, when Alexander informed her that he couldn't be disturbed for a few hours, Cesilia had replied that she would be back before ten o'clock.However, she showed up right at 9:00, looking disheveled as if she had just woken up, and the bags under her eyes looked even worse. It was unlike Cesilia, who usually took great care of her appearance when leaving the house.Now, Cesilia appeared more disheveled, like a woman completely uncared for. How busy could she be? Alexander wondered in his heart."Sorry, I had some impromptu photo shoots that I couldn't leave," Cesilia forced a smile and sat on the edge of the bed, checking Alexander's forehead."The fever has subsided, thank goodness. Frans always gives

“I can’t.” Alexander handed the bottle back to Frans.“Why can’t you?” Robert interjected.“I love Cesilia deeply; I don’t want to betray her. And...”“Well, you love Cesilia deeply, but she doesn’t.” Robert interrupted.“A faithful husband while his wife is cheating. The husband is kneeling like this. Oh, it’s very sad for the husband.” Frans added his opinion.With Frans and Robert bothering him like this, it’s certain that Alexander would be left feeling helpless.“Before trying this drink, I suggest you find out who this Maxime really is. If Maxime isn’t Cesilia’s cousin, then it means your wife has taken further steps.”“Instead of questioning about Maxime, which will only hurt you more and break your heart, it’s better to try opening your heart to Casandra. So that when Cesilia really leaves you, there’s already someone else in your heart, and the wounds won’t be too heavy because I don’t believe that a man and a woman can have such a close relationship without any feelings invo

"Don't smile like that. Hurry up and pack your things, I'll wait for you in the car!" Alexander commanded, sitting beside his mother. "Mom, I'm going to take Casandra out for a few hours, and Frans will come along. If you don't have work at the hospital, you can be our driver for Casandra and me. How does that sound?"His mother joined in enjoying the snacks on the table. "Sure, it's fine. I just got back from out of town yesterday, so I won't be working at the hospital until next Monday. Let me drive you because it's not possible for someone slightly unwell like me to drive. Otherwise, you might end up dumping Casandra on the road.""Whatever you say, but I'm still grateful that you're willing to drive me.""Do you plan to take Casandra somewhere in this scorching heat?" Meri expressed a bit of concern for Casandra."Maybe to a water park or a zoo, and...""To meet Cesilia, Ma. There are a few things I need to confirm with her." Alexander interrupted before his mother could hope for

"Maxime, please. Just this once, give me ten minutes to talk to her. Besides, it's not like Alexander came here with Casandra. I'm sure he's here with his mom or his friends, enjoying the water park. There's no harm in him greeting his employer himself.""Yes, but...""Please, just this once. Consider my wish, and show some respect for everything I've done. It's not that difficult to fulfill this one request, especially when you forbid me from talking to Alexander too much. This is Casandra, not Alexander." Cesilia emphasized once again, and Zayn finally allowed her to go."Ten minutes, no more than that. If not, you'll see the consequences.""Fine." Cesilia walked away, quickly catching up to Casandra, who was quite far ahead. "Who did you come here with? Mama?" Cesilia asked quickly because she only had ten minutes."With Sir. He's waiting for Madam in the parking lot. Let's go, he said he has some questions to ask Madam." Casandra immediately took Cesilia's hand and led her towards

Casandra and Frans eagerly boarded the roller coaster. Casandra held on tightly to the side handlebars, and her face turned flushed with excitement. Frans, on the other hand, tried to put on a brave face despite his hidden fear of roller coasters.As the ride started and the roller coaster climbed up the tracks, Casandra let out a joyous scream, feeling the adrenaline rush through her veins. Frans couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm, but he also couldn't shake off his own nervousness.The roller coaster then plunged down a steep slope, and Casandra's scream turned into a mix of thrill and fear. Frans, still trying to maintain his composure, let out a small yell as well. The twists, turns, and loops of the ride brought a mix of emotions to both of them – excitement, fear, and an indescribable feeling of liberation.As the roller coaster came to a stop, Casandra jumped off with a wide grin on her face. "That was amazing! Let's do it again!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with exh

As Alexander and Casandra descended from the ferris wheel, Alexander noticed Cesilia walking hand-in-hand with Maxime. They seemed more like a couple than an employer and employee, with Maxime possessively holding Cesilia's hand.Alexander felt a surge of anger and jealousy, but he knew he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't confront Maxime or Cesilia in public, as it would only lead to more problems, especially if Cesilia was indeed having feelings for another man. He decided to observe from a distance for now, unsure of what to do next.They continued to explore the water park, but Alexander couldn't fully enjoy the experience. His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Cesilia and Maxime. Casandra noticed his change in demeanor and tried to distract him with the various attractions, but she could tell something was bothering him.After a while, Casandra suggested heading back home, knowing that Alexander needed rest. Reluctantly, he agreed, and they made their way to the exit
