Chapter 40
The CEO’s Surrogate Wife
Alex doesnât leave at all. Someone is watching outside the front door. As soon as he goes out, he will be found with Bess. He canât get down the window because itâs a high-rise building. He doesnât want to lose his life because of this, so he has to hide.
When he hears footsteps outside, he feels something is wrong. Why do so many people come here all of a sudden? Whatâs the matter? Will he be found? If he is found, his relationship with Bess is bound to make headlines. But just then, he thinks of Miya. He would rather have an affair with Miya than with this woman.
Then there is a heavy knock on the door. They are all invited by Bess. This is a bar so they are confused. Is Alex sleeping with Bess here? They begin to admire Alex. They remember Alex saying in public that Miya is his lover during the day. Does he have many lovers?
When Bess hears the knock on the door, she is even more nervous. Her body suddenly shakes. Her feet seem to be nailed. She canât move them at all. Her eyes are fixed on the door. What should she do? If she opens the door, she will lose her reputation, and Alex will definitely hate her even more. He may not even marry her.
Bess begins to clean the room as she thinks about it. She picks up all the clothes on the ground and throws them into the cabinet and makes the bed sheets. She cleans the whole room. It looks much better. Although itâs a bar and people will imagine it, these reporters will not say anything without proofs.
Bess takes a deep breath and walks to the door. She stands quietly at the door and takes a deep breath again. At last she opens the door.
The door is opened. She is stunned by the sight.
There are more than ten reporters in front of her and many people watching behind them. In such a hotel, everyone seems to feel that something happened. And the interviewees are Bess and Alex, so of course everyone will be curious.
During the day Alex held another woman and said she was his lover. He slept with Bess at night. Whatâs going on?
âMiss Bess, whereâs President Alex?â A male reporter comes up and asks.
âMiss Bess, did you live here with President Alex last night?â Another reporter asks.
A female reporter is even more exaggerated. She throws the newspaper in her hand in front of Bess, and her people crowd in.
âMiss Bess, this is another woman held by President Alex yesterday. If President Alex also has a close relationship with this woman, can Miss Bess accept it?â Sure enough, everyone is quiet after the female reporter finishes. They all seem to be waiting for Bessâs answer.
Bess holds the newspaper tightly in her hand. She sees Alex holding Miya tight. There is hate in her eyes but she quickly hides it. She will never let Miya go.
Bess calms down and smiles at the reporter. She has a noble smile and deserves to be the daughter of Bella Group.
âEveryone is free. I donât want Alex trapped by marriage. He has so many businesses that itâs normal for him to have women around him. I believe in him.â Bess says with a smile. There seems to be a smile on her face when it comes to Alex. Her smile masks her hatred.
Alex listens quietly in the dark and sneers scornfully. She is very good at disguise. It turns out she has a plan. These reporters are also invited by her.
She is really a woman with a mind. No wonder he slept with her last night.
âMiss Bess is so kind-hearted. What about President Alex?â The reporter looks in the room when he asks, but he doesnât see Alex. There is disappointment in his eyes.
Bess is still smiling. She has just figured out how to deal with these reporters. Suddenly she takes out a necklace. There is a lucky pearl on the necklace. Everyone recognizes the lucky pearl and photographs it.
Now Alexâs lucky pearl is in Bessâs hands. He must be here last night.
âPresident Alex is so busy that he gave this lucky pearl to me. He said that this ucky pearl represents him.â Fortunately, Bess took this lucky pearl out of his pocket last night. Otherwise she canât be able to deal with it.
Alex stands in the dark. His eyes turn cold. He feels his pocket subconsciously. Damn it, itâs his lucky pearl. This woman is so bold that she dares to take his things.
This lucky pearl was left by the woman six years ago. She left nothing else. He thought she would come to this lucky pearl, but she didnât show up.
He wears this lucky pearl for six years. Many things have changed in six years. He stayed with her only one night but he thinks about her for six years.
âMommy, look...â Joey suddenly trots into the kitchen. Her little face is red.
Miya turns off the fire and serves them rice. She turns to look at her daughter.
âWhatâs the matter?â Miya goes out. She looks at her daughter as she walks.
âMommy, go to the living room and have a look. There is a lucky pearl on TV which is exactly the same as the one you painted. See if itâs the one you like!â Joey feels that lucky pearl is the one Mommy likes. When she has money, she will buy it for Mommy, and then Mommy will like it.
Miya looks at her daughter with a smile. Although she knows that lucky pearl is not hers, she still wants to thank her daughter. No wonder others say that daughters care about their mothers the most.
Miya puts the meal on the table. By this time, the program on TV is over. Miya doesnât see the lucky pearl at all.
âBen, come out for breakfast. What are you doing?â Miya shouts. Ben was very active when they had meals. Why doesnât he have breakfast today?
Whatâs he doing?
Ben comes out. He has a cell phone in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. He seems to be comparing something.
Miya frowns. She doesnât know what he is doing. She thinks about it and walks forward. When she sees the lucky pearl on that cell phone, she is obviously shocked. Thatâs the lucky pearl she lost. When she sees Bess holding it, she is shocked Again. Why is her lucky pearl in Bessâs hands?
This reminds Miya of Adam. Is it because Adam is the father of her children that Bess gets this lucky pearl? She canât help thinking about Adamâs kindness to her these years. Is Adam nice to her because she gave birth to his children?
Itâs impossible. Adam has no son. Does Adam hide it? But he will know that her two children are his.
Miya is a little frustrated. Since she knows that lucky pearl is in Bessâs hands, should she try to get that lucky pearl back? It belongs to her. Itâs the only thing her mother left her before she died.
Ben says, âMommy, look at the lucky pearl in this auntâs hand. It is exactly the same as the one you painted. Are you looking for this lucky pearl?â His little face is almost full of affirmation. This is what Mommy wants. He must find a way to help Mommy get it.
And here comes Andre. He sees the meal on the table and looks up at Miya. He walks over politely.
âAunt Miya, can I eat here?â He doesnât like the meals made by servants. He likes to eat the meals made by Miya. He likes to be with Miya. He also likes to eat with Joey.
Miya stops looking at the lucky pearl and turns to Andre.
âOf course, I was going to ask you to have breakfast. Iâll take you to school after breakfast.â Miya says with a smile.
Andre actually sees the lucky pearl. Isnât that his fatherâs lucky pearl? How does Aunt Miya know that lucky pearl? Did Dad tell Aunt Miya? But when he sees Bess holding the lucky pearl, he is surprised. But he soon calms down as if he hasnât seen it.
Andre is thrilled because he knows Dad is wearing this lucky pearl all the time. His intuition tells him that his father cares about this lucky pearl.
Although this lucky pearl looks cheap, he thinks it must have some meaning.

âThank you, Aunt Miya.â Andre says politely. But heâs still thinking about this lucky pearl. Aunt Miya drew this lucky pearl. And she must have done it a long time ago. Obviously she is familiar with this lucky pearl. How is this possible?
Andre is confused. Dad said this lucky pearl was unique because it was made by someone. But this lucky pearl is in Dadâs hands. How does Aunt Miya know about it?
