The Surrogate CEO's Child Part 81
Crying felt useless now, like the rice had turned into burnt porridge. No matter how much she tried to fix it, there was no way to bring it back to its original state. No amount of processing could yield something enjoyable for anyone. That was Cesilia's current predicament. Her body trembled as she stared at the two red lines displayed on the pregnancy test she had just ordered online.No wonder Cesilia had been feeling something was off about her lately. Tears flowed uncontrollably as she realized she was pregnant, something she hadn't expected. She remembered using contraception, but somehow she was pregnant now, and she was certain the fetus in her womb was Maxime's child."Why did this happen?" Cesilia whispered, unable to hide her fear as she looked at the pregnancy test. She had tried several tests from different brands, but the result remained the same: positive.Hastily grabbing her bag and car keys, she headed to the hospital to confirm the test results."Approximately four

"Your work?" Alexander raised an eyebrow, looking at Robert who was now seated in front of his desk. "Isn't it obvious? Working outside and finishing a pile of tasks that need to be done by this evening." Robert shrugged. "Yes, there's a lot, but there's something important I need to discuss with you." "Go on," Alexander placed the pen on his desk, leaning back in his chair. He was ready to listen to whatever Robert had to say. He was sure this had something to do with Cesilia just now. Indeed, it had been bothering him too, distracting him from his work. Despite having so much work to do lately, he found himself preoccupied with household matters and the gossip about Casandra. "Don't tell me you believe that the fetus in Cesilia's womb is your child." Robert shot the question at Alexander directly, not wanting to beat around the bush. For him, time is money. The faster he talks to Alexander, the sooner he can satisfy his curiosity. "Don't accuse me of things I'm not thinking abo

"Yasmin said that Cesilia is currently at your house, and she said Cesilia came and claimed to be your lawful wife. What's worse, Cesilia also mentioned that soon Yasmin and Casandra will be kicked out of the house because Cesilia is pregnant with your child and you two will reconcile," Robert's words echoed in Alexander's ears.He wished he could fly straight home without having to navigate through the heavy traffic like he was now. Alexander was truly furious because Cesilia had casually disrupted his household even though they had no relationship anymore.Alexander was also worried that Casandra might fall for Cesilia's words, especially since he had tried calling her several times, but she refused to pick up his calls. Even Yasmin wouldn't answer his calls.He had no idea what was happening at home, and he was genuinely scared that he might not find Yasmin or Casandra when he got there. His heart couldn't function properly in situations like this. Especially when Casandra wasn't d

"It's quite unusual for you to invite me to meet," Tomas remarked as he gestured for Alexander to take a seat. He found it surprising since Alexander usually declined dinner invitations, claiming he was already full from dining with his wife. Despite what his secretary had said about the purpose being a friendly visit and dinner, there seemed to be more to it."It's nothing too important, just that I'm here to discuss matters beyond business," Alexander replied.Tomas's expression grew tense, sensing that Alexander was getting to the heart of the matter. Clearly, this wasn't a business-related issue; there must be a personal matter that prompted Alexander to come and meet him."Please, if it's something I can assist with, I'd be glad to help, especially considering your influential role in our business partnership and your busy schedule."Alexander nodded slowly, searching for the right words to convey the purpose of his visit. He feared that Cesilia's actions could negatively impact

Cesilia was truly frustrated when her request to terminate her pregnancy was completely ignored by the doctor. Angrily, she returned home, unaware that someone had overheard their conversation earlier.Initially, this person idolized Cesilia greatly and even wanted to ask for her autograph and take a photo together. However, hearing Cesilia's request to terminate her pregnancy completely changed the intentions of this Cesilia fan. Instead, they were upset because the woman they had idolized, and even defended on social media during her divorce with Alexander, was now asking a doctor to terminate her pregnancy. This fan even joined in criticizing Casandra and labeling her as a cheap woman.Now, in front of this person's eyes, a scandal had been uncovered. Time seemed to prove who was guilty and deserved retribution. The Cesilia fan felt guilty.How could they have passionately defended and criticized Casandra, when their own idol had caused her own marriage to crumble? To make things w

Cesilia was truly speechless as she saw her social media filled with negative comments. Her body felt weak, staring blankly at the phone that had been incessantly ringing with calls from an unknown number. She had no idea who it was, as she had been spending more time at home lately due to the short duration of product photoshoots. The actual contract, as Maxime had previously mentioned, covered a more comprehensive collaboration. When there were no scheduled shoots, Cesilia would naturally stay home and could consider other job offers outside of skincare ads.However, Maxime had taken advantage of this to get close to Cesilia. With him absent now, Cesilia had plenty of time to relax. She also wasn't yet willing to accept jobs from anyone else."W-who leaked the news that I'm pregnant?" Cesilia threw her phone onto the bed. She sat down weakly, imagining what would happen next. Naturally, the media would use her as an easy target to get a hot scoop. Cesilia would have to come up with

As Casandra moved into the second trimester of her pregnancy, her condition began to improve. The nausea and dizziness had subsided, and she could now enjoy regular meals and rest. In fact, things had stabilized to the point that Frans decided to return to work at the hospital. However, he still came back to Alexander's house to rest. If he had a daytime shift, he would return home in the evening. Conversely, if he had a night shift, he would come back to Alexander's house during the daytime. This routine continued, with Frans visiting to check on Casandra's well-being until she gave birth.Frans' presence at Alexander's house had indeed brought about changes. Especially for Yasmin, who found herself in a state of inner turmoil. Robert had displayed interest in her and openly invited her out for meals or dates. Though there were no declarations of love, Yasmin knew that Robert had fallen for her. Yet, for some reason, she found herself more drawn to Frans, who seemed more laid-back an

"Your ex-wife disappeared for a long time, but when she resurfaced, it caused a huge commotion in the world." Frans placed his phone in front of Alexander. He had been eager to meet the man and share the gossip that was circulating on social media.And no wonder, Cesilia was reported missing for weeks and suddenly reappeared with shocking news. She was going to marry William, Maxime's adoptive brother. And that wasn't all—the Maxime family confirmed that Maxime was undergoing treatment following his accident some time ago.His condition was critical, preventing him from continuing his role as the leader of the company. As a result, Tomas declared that William would be acting as a temporary replacement for an unspecified period, given that Maxime's recovery was uncertain.Even if Maxime were to recover, he would never be the same again."What else is she up to? I've been busy with work, and on top of that, Casandra has been acting unpredictably. Can you believe she cried just because I
