The Surrogate CEO's Child Part 12
Alexander sat in the corner of the living room, observing the interaction between Casandra and her mother. The two of them looked more like mother and daughter rather than mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They appeared familiar and engaged in a warm conversation, unlike when Meri spoke with Cesilia. The two of them seemed more like enemies than in-laws."Now, tell Mama what happened that made you come back home all soaked like this," Meri spoke to Casandra, but her gaze was directed at Alexander."I was just looking around the backyard. Accidentally, I fell into the swimming pool because I was too focused on the decorations there. I didn't realize my feet touched the pool water, and I fell," Casandra explained."Is that true?" Casandra nodded."Then where was Alexander when you fell?" Meri asked, her gaze sharpening. She clasped her hands together, trying to suppress the mix of nervousness and fear."Alexander..." Casandra paused. She squeezed her hands, trying to dispel the anxiety

Don't expect Casandra to wake up in Alexander's embrace. Smiling to herself, she felt pleased that she had finally conquered her husband's hardened heart. But remember, that scenario doesn't exist here because Alexander is not a man with a gentle and loving heart.He is stubborn, selfish, and devoid of compassion ever since Cesilia ignored him. That's why when Casandra woke up due to the sound of knocking and excitement outside the room, the first thing she saw was the folded laptop, an inactive computer, and a pile of papers, just as they were before she closed her eyes.Swearing to anything, her waist felt sore from sleeping in a sitting position. Her body also felt achy, experiencing chills and feverishness from not using a blanket. She was drenched last night.She should be sleeping under a blanket, not in the cold AC room."Alexander, Lex, Casandra! Wake up, Mama wants to talk. Mama wants to hear the story from both of you. Come on, wake up, and let's have breakfast!"That's roug

As Alexander busily paces back and forth, Casandra sits cross-legged on the bed, observing him. She is unsure of what to do. She doesn't even consider speaking to Alexander since they never exchange words, except for important matters. Casandra doesn't want to hurt herself by engaging in a conversation with Alexander, as he would only belittle her.Instead of getting hurt, it's better to stay silent, right?"Now you call Mama!" Alexander approaches Casandra. "Tell her I'm done."Casandra's face lifts up. "But, Sir...""But what? Don't you want to? Whether you like it or not, you have to, so I can get out of here! As you know, my life is filled with work, unlike you, a village girl with nothing, let alone a future.""Yes, Sir, yes. I know I'm just a village girl with no future and a high unemployment rate. But that's not the issue. If I call Mrs. Meri here, I'll be questioned again, Sir. Do you want to be scolded again? I'm tired, Sir. You get scolded by Mrs. Meri, but I'm the one blam

"I wonder why Maxime called Cecilia, causing her to be unable to refuse answering the incoming call from Alexander. Countless times he tried to reach her, from voice calls to text messages, and now a video call. He was extremely worried about his wife's condition as she hadn't provided any definite updates."Hi, honey," greeted Cecilia, waving her hand in front of the camera. Her eyes looked puffy due to lack of sleep, and she hadn't cleaned herself up since arriving in Bali.Alexander raised an eyebrow as he observed Cecilia, whose hair was disheveled, her face swollen, and her eyes showing signs of exhaustion. She didn't look like her usual self."Did you just wake up?"Cecilia nodded."Yes, I'm exhausted. I haven't slept at all. And when I finally woke up, this is how late it is," Cecilia chuckled slightly, hiding Maxime's presence as he still held her slim waist."Oh, I thought something happened to you. I haven't heard from you at all since yesterday. I miss you," Alexander said,

"I beg you, please don't do this, Ma.""Don't? It's easy for you to say that. You're still young, with a long future ahead of you. But Mama? Mama is old, ailing, and has been waiting for six years without any answers. You always keep delaying things just for the sake of a name and fame. What's wrong with Mama wanting that?" Meri looked at Alexander.She was truly heartbroken for being played for these past six years, especially when Alexander and Cesilia had already promised and kept dragging it out. If only Alexander had a sibling, then Meri wouldn't have made an issue out of all this.And those promises, one after another, had all disappeared, vanished into thin air."Okay, tell me what I should do so that Mama won't be angry. So that Mama won't be like this."Meri shook her head. "There's nothing you should do because Mama realizes that Cesilia means more to you than Mama does.""Don't say that, Ma. Mama and Cesilia both mean a lot to me," Alexander argued."But that's the reality,

During their time in Bali, they would stay in a spacious room with a dividing door between the living area and the bed. This meant that Alexander could sleep separately. And that meant there was still some leniency for both of them before they decided to fulfill Meri's dream of having a grandchild."I'll stay here. Sir, please sleep in that room," Cassandra arranged, motioning for Alexander to sleep in the living room.Alexander didn't respond, but he quickly dragged his suitcase into the bedroom, leaving Cassandra alone in the living room.The girl shrugged her shoulders, already convinced that this was the response she would receive from Alexander. Whether she liked it or not, she would accept all of Alexander's flaws as his lawful wife.Once Alexander entered his room, Cassandra hurriedly checked her suitcase, searching for a change of clothes before Alexander came out. Her plan was to ask for permission to use the bathroom.She wanted to change her clothes, but when Cassandra open

Cesilia's fingers trembled as she squeezed them together. She was afraid and nervous to talk to Alexander, to tell him that she couldn't join him for dinner. Although deep down, Cesilia desperately wanted to have that dinner with her husband. Which wife wouldn't want to dine with her own husband?"I'm sorry, my love...""No time, right? Still busy with the photoshoot. It's okay," Alexander stroked Cesilia's hair. "The important thing is that I've seen you're doing well and actually working here. So, let me take you back to the hotel. How about that?" Alexander offered, hoping that this time Cesilia wouldn't refuse his invitation.No matter how busy she was, being escorted back to the hotel wouldn't disrupt her schedule or work for Cesilia.Cesilia wanted to nod, to agree to Alexander's request. Just being escorted back to the hotel wouldn't take much time, right?But in reality, Maxime had sent his assistant to fetch Cesilia, ensuring there was no chance for her to be close to Alexand
The Surrogate CEO's Child Part 19
Not wanting to bother thinking about Alexander and Cesilia's marriage, Cassandra chose to wander around and find a good place to eat by the beach. After struggling to leave the hotel, she felt it was a good idea to reward herself for her hard work.Moreover, since she was in Bali, it was time to enjoy the fruits of her agreement with Cesilia. After all, it was Cesilia who asked her to become Alexander's second wife, not her own desire. So there was no harm in starting to enjoy the new life that had changed so much.Yesterday, Cassandra had initially refused because she felt degraded being a paid wife. But seeing Cesilia's behavior behind Alexander's back made her think that perhaps being a second wife could be a way to heal Alexander's heart.However, that thought wasn't finalized yet. Cassandra still pondered whether she should follow the traditional path of marriage or continue on the path she had chosen. Considering that Alexander wasn't her ideal type of man.More precisely, he wa
