My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 118: Breaking Away From Routine 

‘‘What the hell!’’ Wendy screamed at the top of her lungs and rushed out of the villa. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

She was so embarrassed that she covered her face as she ran.

She was too ashamed to stay there any longer.

Besides, Reese and Ray were probably look for her right now.

Meanwhile, Ryan had just finished taking a shower and was now changing into a black suit.

He looked undeniable handsome in his suit.

Luke winked at him and asked with a wide grin, "Ryan, did you sleep well last night?"

Last night, Wendy was so drunk that she flirted with every man she saw...

At the thought of this, Luke's smile grew wider.

Ryan just straightened his tie and merely shot Luke a cold glance.

Without even bothering to respond, he strode downstairs and left Luke behind.

"Ryan, why do you always look at me like that? Don't tell me that you didn't do anything with Wendy the whole night," Luke said with a frown.

Hearing no response from Ryan, he exclaimed, "What?! You did nothing?! How could you waste such a good opportunity? I knew it! If something happened between you last night, with your strength, I doubt Wendy would be able to get out of bed this morning.Damn! I can't believe you did nothing!" he groaned while following Ryan behind. "Shut up!"

Luke stopped talking at once.

However, that only last for a few seconds as he opened his mouth and asked again, "Ryan, where are you going?"

"To go to work!"

Ryan replied exasperatedly.

"Really? You haven't slept well for two nights, yet you're still going to work today? Are you crazy?!"

Without even bothering to look at Luke, Ryan opened the door of his car and got in.Of course, Luke got in as well and sat beside Ryan.

They were seated at the backseats of the car.

A moment later, the driver finally drove to the company.

Until now, Luke had not stopped chattering.

"Ryan, I'm not blaming you or something.I just want to know why you let such a good opportunity go to waste.According to my love expertise, a woman's feelings for a person change after having sex with him.Just so you know, if you keep pursuing Wendy like this so slow and easy, I doubt she'll fall in love with you anytime soon.You should know that there are so many temptations in the entertainment circle.There are many handsome men, and you know Wendy fancies them.If one day she gets drunk and flirts with a handsome man, what are you gonna do?"

But instead of answering Luke's question, Ryan just closed his eyes and rubbed his temples in annoyance.

lt was only after a moment that he opened his eyes.

Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Luke!"

"What?"

"Our company is looking for a person in charge to buy diamonds in Africa.I think you'll be suitable for that job."

As though the idea of working far away from home terrified him, Luke trembled and pleaded, "No! I'm sorry! Ryan, I won't say anything anymore.I'll shut my mouth now."

Now that Luke had finally zipped his mouth, the car returned to its peace and quiet.

Ryan tapped the window lightly, and closed his eyes, lost in thought.

At that moment, an image of Wendy trembling in fear flashed in his mind.

‘What happened to her? What made her react so violently, even though she was drunk and not in the state of mind?' Ryan wondered.

Meanwhile, Wendy was now a few steps away from her house.

When she finally arrived at her home, she happened to run into Reese, who was busy cleaning the living room.

Reese looked up and saw that Wendy had come from the outside, breathless.

Because of this, she dropped the rag in surprise.

"Wendy, what time did you get up and get out? I didn't see you.I actually thought you were still sleeping.Anyway, I've cooked breakfast.It's on the table.Go and have some."

"I...I woke up early in the morning.I couldn't go back to sleep, so I did a morning run instead," Wendy replied while panting.

Reese frowned and looked down at Wendy's feet.

‘Morning run in slippers?’ Nevertheless, Reese just shrugged it off and continued, "Hurry up and eat before the food gets cold."

"Okay!"Wendy rushed to the dining room and let out a sigh of relief.

‘Thank God Reese didn't seem suspicious of my words.’ Wendy did not wash her face nor brushed her teeth at Ryan’s house, so she sneaked upstairs to do those.

She hurriedly changed her clothes and went downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning, Mommy!" Ray greeted with a beaming smile.

"Good morning, honey!" Wendy greeted back.

While she was eating breakfast with her son, she noticed that Reese was still cleaning.

She decided to pull her big sister over and invited her for breakfast.

"Reese, come and join us."

"It's okay.I've already eaten.You and Ray should eat up while the food is still warm."

‘What?’ Confused, Wendy took a look at her watch.It was only 8:30 in the morning, but Reese had already prepared breakfast and cleaned the house.With her eyebrows furrowed, she asked, "Reese, what time did you get up?"

"Well, I don't actually know.I didn't check the time."

Ray, who was eating breakfast, held up his hand and answered, "Five o'clock! Auntie got up at five o'clock in morning.I saw her when I went to the bathroom to pee."

‘Five o'clock?! It was still dark outside at that time!’ At the thought of this, Wendy put down the steamed bun she was eating and observed the living room with a frown.

She did not notice when she came home.

Now that she was looking at it carefully, she found that the living room had been thoroughly cleaned.Wendy's frown deepened upon seeing this.

"Reese, you don't have to do this."

"It's okay.I'm used to it."

When Reese was still married, she would get up at five o'clock every day, regardless if it was a weekend.

Then, she would go out to buy ingredients for breakfast and lunch.

When she returned, she would clean up the whole house next.

She would then go out again in the afternoon to buy vegetables for dinner.

That was her routine for more than a decade.

"Reese!" Wendy said sternly.

She held her sister's arm and looked into her eyes.

"You don't have to do this," she repeated.

Reese was stunned.

She looked at Wendy in bewilderment and was about to reassure her that it was okay.

"Wendy..."

Wendy heaved a heavy sigh and pulled Reese to sit down with them.

"Reese, I helped you with your divorce because I want you to live your own life." Reese was still at a loss.

‘My own life?’ she repeated inwardly. It felt as though she had never heard that sentence before.

"I know you've just got divorced, and you still can't break away from your routine.But now, you're free.You don't have to do those things anymore.I want you to do what you really want, without having the need to please anyone."

Reese was moved by Wendy's words that her eyes turned red.

"Wendy..."

Everything that her sister said was true, though.

Reese was used to being bullied that even though she was already divorced and living with her sister now, she still felt the need to serve other people.

Doing nothing was making her guilty, and the only way to ease that feeling was to do something.

"Reese, you don't need to clean or cook for us.You should do whatever you want here.You can sleep late and wake up in the afternoon, go shopping, or just lie in bed and think about your dreams.In short, listen to your heart and don't force yourself to do anything you don't want to do."

Reese was touched by Wendy's words that tears welled up in her eyes.

That was the most beautiful thing anyone had ever said to her.

She finally understood what life meant.

With a resolute look on her face, she nodded and replied, "I see."

Wendy handed her a glass of milk.

However, Reese frowned and took a glass of juice instead.

"I've never actually liked milk.I'd like to have juice instead." Wendy was impressed.

Her sister was finally coming to terms with herself.

"That's right! Be brave to say what you want!"

The two sisters smiled at each other, delighted that things were getting better for them.

Reese drank up the juice and solemnly said, "But, Wendy, I like cooking for you and Ray.It makes me happy when I see you enjoy my dishes."

"Sure!"

Wendy pulled Reese to a chair to sit down.

At that moment, she noticed that Reese's clothes were old and full of seams.

She must not have had new clothes after a long time.

"Reese, let's go shopping after eating, shall we? You're only 29 years old.You're still young and beautiful.You should dress up well for the world to know how beautiful you really are."

Reese's eyes lit up upon hearing that.Shopping indeed sounded fun!

"Okay!" she replied with a smile.
