The Surrogate CEO's Child Part 45
Casandra was ready, her wet hair wrapped in a small towel. Her slender body was covered with a robe, and now she was prepared to meet Alexander in the room.Although feeling a bit awkward with her current appearance, Casandra had no choice but to face her husband. It was impossible for her to sleep in the bathroom."Better to catch a cold than to suddenly turn into a mermaid, right?" she thought to herself.Feeling very awkward, Casandra sat on a sofa, while Alexander was on the edge of the bed. He was still sitting in the same position as before Casandra entered the bathroom."What are you thinking about, sir?" Casandra asked after a long period of silence between her and Alexander.Alexander turned to look at Casandra, shaking his head. "Nothing, I was just guessing the total cost of the interior in this room.""For what?" Casandra asked again, finding it a bit strange that her husband was guessing the price of the hotel room's interior.Especially when the items Alexander had in hi

Alexander's mind was torn between defending Cesilia and protecting Casandra. He didn't want to lose either of his wives, and he couldn't understand when he had started to fear losing Casandra as well as Cesilia. Casandra had become an essential part of his life, filling the void left by Cesilia.As he saw Casandra crying in her room, Alexander felt overwhelmed with emotions. He knelt in front of her, wanting to comfort her and make things right."Sir, I want this marriage to end. Please let me work here for any salary you decide, so I can repay all the money you spent on my father's medical bills. Even if I doubt I can pay it off in my lifetime, it's still better than being a paid wife like this. I don't want to be oppressed and humiliated by Mrs. Cesilia.Honestly, I never wanted to be a paid wife. You know that, right? So please, divorce me!"Alexander held his breath, just listening to Casandra's words until she was done expressing herself.Finally, he nodded, "You're right, there'

Instead of staying silent and enjoying what Alexander was doing, Casandra actually refused. She held back Alexander, who wanted to enjoy her lips again."Why?"Being rejected like that, of course, Alexander protested. Previously, Casandra had challenged him to have a child, but now it seemed like she was building a barrier between them.Yet, Alexander started feeling suffocated down there. He really wanted it, in the true sense. He couldn't even ask properly because his mouth couldn't be silenced, so he made Cesilia the scapegoat to claim his rights."If it's just to satisfy Madame, I don't want it, sir," she said, looking away so Alexander couldn't reach her lips.Alexander's grip instantly loosened. He looked at Casandra, who was looking down at him."I'm sorry," he said softly. He withdrew and covered Casandra with a blanket.Without saying a word, he walked away. He closed the bedroom door, leaving Casandra with a million questions in her head.In solitude, Casandra pondered if wh

Initially, it was difficult to leave, but eventually, Alexander agreed because of Meri's encouragement. The middle-aged woman was very enthusiastic and even facilitated the departure of her son and daughter-in-law. To be honest, Alexander had been dreaming of an atmosphere like Casandra's village for a long time. He loved its charming ambiance and cool air. Throughout the journey, Alexander couldn't take his eyes off the vast expanse of rice fields and the blue mountains in the distance. The green hills were so inviting, seemingly within reach.Suddenly, Alexander stopped his car. They were in a rural area surrounded by rice fields, and the road was not paved, just covered with small gravel. This prevented Alexander from driving the car as fast as on regular roads. "Why did you stop, Sir?" asked Casandra as she realized Alexander had stopped the car in this rural area. As the one who knew the route to her house, Casandra deliberately chose this road as it was faster, despite the road

"The place is nice, Sir," Casandra said as she ate the steak. From her facial expression, it was evident that she had never tasted steak this delicious before. Back at the hotel, she only had grilled chicken.Alexander nodded. "There's no place like this in the city. Even if there were, I've been too busy to go anywhere. Besides, my wife is also busy.""In that case, it's the perfect time to relax now, Sir. Don't worry about work for a while. Just relax," Casandra said.Alexander nodded again, a faint smile adorning his handsome face. Seeing him, Casandra smiled too. Anything that made Alexander happy brought joy to Casandra as well.After finishing their meal, Alexander and Casandra continued their journey to Casandra's home. The road was very winding, even passing by the edge of a cliff. Driving on this road required carefulness, and overtaking other cars recklessly could have fatal consequences. It was dangerous enough to traverse this road during the day, let alone at night, which

The next morning, early in the morning, Casandra had already showered, smelled nice, and dressed neatly. Today, she planned to go to the field behind her house. The field belonged to her father. Casandra wanted to see how her father had been taking good care of it. It wasn't vast, just using the remaining land.There were parts of the field planted with papaya, and others with coffee. Along the edge of the field, many sengon trees grew, reaching the height of an adult person.This field was the only inheritance left by Casandra's grandfather. Her father had been taking care of it all this time, even without any help, even when he was sick."Wow, the papayas will be ready for harvest soon," Casandra said with shining eyes as she entered the field wearing her boots. Casandra purposely wore them to avoid the danger of snakes and other harmful creatures.Casandra had never encountered snakes in the field, but her father always reminded her to wear boots whenever she went there. No one kno

Maxime grabbed Cesilia's hand, halting her steps toward the changing room. She initially said she wanted to go to the bathroom but disappeared for over two hours.Of course, Maxime didn't accept this as Cesilia daringly left without his permission. "I've already told you not to leave this place without my consent. Wherever you go, you must ask for permission first, or you will regret it later," Maxime said firmly. His grip tightened as Cesilia remained silent, not responding or brushing off his words as she usually did.This left Maxime somewhat confused by Cesilia's response. "Wait...""What?" Cesilia rolled her eyes lazily. "Being silent is wrong, arguing is wrong, so what do you want?" she said, gazing at Maxime with sad and tired eyes."Have you been crying?" Maxime guided Cesilia to sit on a nearby sofa."No, I'm fine. It's better not to interfere too much in my private affairs if you're still stubborn with your ego," Cesilia replied."I know, but you should explain what happened

However, without any sense of guilt, Casandra came with a suitcase. Her body was slightly wet from braving the rain."You can't talk at all!" Alexander snapped just as Casandra stepped into the room. He stood with his arms folded, glaring at the confused Casandra.Suddenly scolded without knowing what she did wrong, Casandra felt it was excessive anger displayed by Alexander. Nevertheless, it was effective in making her brain work hard, trying to figure out what had made her husband so angry."When your husband speaks, you listen!" Alexander approached, and Casandra reflexively moved backward."I warn you, this is the last time you defy what I say."Closing the distance between them, Casandra kept moving back to avoid touching him since the bedroom wall was already against her back. But she couldn't escape now."S-sorry, Sir," Casandra murmured, barely audibl
