The CEO’s Surrogate Wife novel Chapter 736

His phone rings not long after he walks out of the home.

Alex quickly picks up the phone and his expression turns stern.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t harm him.” He hangs up the call after saying that.

This time, he takes the initiative to let go of Richard, but only because he promises Aileen to do so in exchange for information on Miya. What he really wants is to tear Richard into pieces.

Though, Alex has learned his lesson from this incident. He will never ever let anyone have the chance to get near his woman again.

“Anybody? Come here!” says Alex with a frigid tone of voice. His cold expression sends a shiver down one’s spine. A few bodyguards immediately walk up to him with their head hang low.

“Strengthen the security and protect the madam at all cost. If necessary, all of you are to never leave her side for even a single second. Don’t let anything happen to her, you guys are responsible if I notice that she loses a single hair.”

Alex strides away vigorously after leaving his order.

…

Aileen is at the hospital at the time of call, she lets out a sigh of relief, but then she starts to frown again. This problem is now solved, but there’s still another problem waiting to be solved.

There is a sudden knock on the door while Aileen is immersed in her thoughts.

“Come in.” She says without thinking as she figures that the person at the door is the doctor.

Aileen’s melancholic expression immediately turns cold, when she realizes that the person walking into the room is Aaron.

Aaron quickly notices the change in her expression. He stays quiet, walks into the room and sits on the side of her bed.

“What are you here for?” Aileen can’t help but ask him, seeing that he is not saying anything.

“Can’t I be here just to see you?” Aaron wants to say more, but Aileen halts him abruptly mid-sentence.

“Please leave, I don’t need you here. I have already told you, that I don’t want to see your face right now.”

Aileen sounds very indifferent when she says that.

“I have made up my mind to face you, and hence I am here. I know that you are not in a good mood right now and I know that you don’t really mean what you said before. I will not take it to heart, I promise.” Aaron was really mad at what she said to him that day, but he put some thoughts into it after he went home. He thinks that he needs to take initiative and ease the tension between them.

“What are you saying?” Aileen looks at Alex astonishingly, she is surprised at how well he is controlling his temper. Back then, he would’ve slapped her if she were to throw a tantrum at him like that. But now, he is taking the initiative to visit her and talks to her patiently. It shows that he really cares about their relationship. It’s no wonder though, they’ve been through a lot of hardships ever since the beginning of their relationship.
