The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 23

Alex

I knelt in between her legs and I leaned in to kiss her but she swerved, I tried to chase our lips but she was being stubborn.

"Tracy."

"Get off me."

"Why?"

"Why not?"

"Because I have a motive."

"So I am a pushover now? Please get off me or else I'd scream loud enough to wake those kids." I don't know why but that threat made me jump off her like she was hot coal.

"Don't wake the kids please."

"As far as you don't come too close to me." She replied sitting up

"Tracy, I want you to know I don't see you as a pushover, not at all, you are just the woman I love, the mother of my children."

"You mean the woman you left."

"Tracy!"

"It is not a lie."

"Well, I have an explanation for that, though it might is very illogical."

"I don't need your explanation, please keep it to yourself." She said standing up but I held her hands.

"Tracy, I understand that you are hurt, I understand, but I want you to know that I love you a million times than I loved you when we started courting, I love our children too and I want you to know that I'd be there for you, I saw what you were trying to do earlier, you were trying to lift the kids out of the pool by yourself even though I was in the pool with you, I want you to know you don't have to do everything by yourself, I'm here now, the kids' father is here now so we will do everything together." I dropped her hands and I grabbed the bag containing the clothes I bought which I left in my room after removing mine.

"Here, I bought it for you and the kids earlier, Incase you need something to change into tomorrow morning," I said and she collected it without saying anything, I wanted her to give me anything even if it is a good night but she didn't, she left like that.

I stood there until I heard the door to the room where the kids were sleeping open and close, then I dropped into my bed, I know it is not exactly how I hoped the day would end but then I like the fact that there was an improvement.

I fell asleep and I slept well, Tracy and the kids left early after breakfast.

I felt it, but I didn't even have time to convince them to stay because I had lots of documents to work on, James came over too.

"So how is it?"

"How is what?"

"Things between you and your wife and kids."

"Fine."
