Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 94

Tm no match for Elgin, but I can take care of others for you,” Vidonia whispered, “Don’t get worked up

over someone like Odetta, it’s not worth it, especially since you’re pregnant

“Alright.

Little did they know, this whole scene was caught on the surveillance camera overhead.

Elgin watched the entire thing.

When he wasn’t around, Letitia’s smile was wider than usual. Her eyes were bright and lively; they

curved like crescent moons when she genuinely laughed, just like when he first met her.

When she was up to something, her eyes darted around, and her face was an open book of little

expressions

But what about the Letitia in front of him? Lifeless, eyes downcast, she looked like a tame little kitten

But the moment she was rubbed the wrong way, out came those sharp claws, ready to scratch a mark

Elgin thought, he had turned her into this Maybe, with time, Letitia would lose her spark and her

dreams completely.

“Mr. Ramirez? Mr. Ramirez?” Ranen called out a few times, “What are you thinking about?”

He lazily lifted his eyes, “How do you preserve a woman’s childlike innocence?”

Huh? That question was out of his league again.

Ranen thought, why has Mr Ramirez been asking questions about women lately?

He’s as clueless as they come when it comes to romance. If it was about work, Ranen could answer

fast, professional and correct. Does he now need to hit the books on love psychology?

“Cat got your tongue? Elgin leaned back into his chair.

“Well, Mr. Ramirez. I think Ranen scratched his head, racking his brain, “with love, right? Love should

do the trick.”

“Love?”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ve heard the ultimate way to love a woman is to pamper her like you would a

daughter. With that kind of pampering and indulgence, she’s bound to keep her innocence”

“Daughter?” Elgin slowly said. He couldn’t help but imagine, if he had a daughter, he would indeed treat

her like a princess, give her everything, make her the happiest little girl in the world.

The Ramirez family, three generations of boys. If a girl came along, she would definitely be spoiled

rotten.

He wondered whether Shela was carrying a boy or a girl. And Letitia’s… Elgin’s expression turned cold,

that wasn’t his child, none of his

concern!

“How’s the prenatal checkup going at the hospital?” he asked, “When is the expert arriving at

AquaCity?”

“They’ll be here this week, I’ve been keeping tabs.”

Elgin waved his hand dismissingly and picked up his phone.

Shela constantly sent a stream of messages, updating Elgin incessantly about her activities, which he

found rather bothersome.

If it weren’t for that one night, if it weren’t for the baby, Elgin would never have chosen Shela.

Never.

As evening fell and night descended, the servants at Ivory Towers kept their grievances to themselves,

because Ms. Ward was just too high-maintenance.

Always nitpicking, and if things weren’t done her way, she would scream and shout

Compared to her, Mrs. Ramirez was truly gentle and quiet, cultured and sensible!

The butler had no choice but to patiently serve her.

“I know everyone’s fed up, just bear with it, she’s just trying to flaunt her newfound status and power,”

the butler consoled the servants, “Don’t take it to heart, just keep working.

In the living room, Shela sat on the couch, scolding a servant, “Can’t you do anything right? Look at this

mess!”

Tre sorry Ms. Ward”

“Forget it,” Shela sald impatiently. “What time is it now, why isn’t Mr. Ramirez back yet?”

The butler replied. “Mr. Ramirez has dinner plan tonight, he’ll be late.”

have to dine alone?

“Yes”

What about Letitia!” Shela asked again, “How come I don’t see her, a mere employee?”

‘She’s busy working on her design drafts”

Shela grew more imitable. Ever since she hatched her abortion plan, she had been eager to get it over

with. Everything was ready, only Letitia was missing!

If Letitia didn’t show up, the whole plot couldn’t unfold!

Finally, around nine o’clock, Letitia came home.

Shela perked up, sitting up straight on the couch, waiting for Letitia to come in so she could give her a

piece of her mind! But she didn’t catch a glimpse of Letitia at all

“Where is she! Didn’t she just come home?” Shela demanded, “What is she hiding for!”

“She went to the servants’ quarters, ma’am.”

Turns out, Letitia hadn’t set foot in the main villa at all and headed straight to her own place.

She didn’t want to see Shelas face.

“Heh, she thinks she can avoid me? No way!” Shela stormed off towards the servants’ quarters, all

guns blazing.

Letitia had just put down her bag when she heard Shela’s voice outside, “Letitia, come out!”

She frowned, what kind of scene was this woman making now? She decided to just ignore her.

But Shela kept on ranting, “Why, are you too scared to face me? You spineless thing, Letitia! If this

place wasn’t beneath my status, I’d come in and drag you out myself!

Her voice was so loud it hurt the ears

That’s when Letitia stepped out. Are you causing trouble because you’re bored?”

“How dare you say that to me?”

“What about it?” Letitia retorted, “Aren’t you also pregnant? All that yelling and screaming, have you

thought about the baby?”

“Heh, finally showing your true color?”

“What, you can’t survive a day without pestering me?” Letitia leaned on the door frame, “I’m not as free

as you, I’ve got tons of stuff to

take care of

Shela snorted, “Yeah, lucky me, something you’re jealous of.”

“Oh, got anything else to say? Get it all out, I’m off to wash up and go to bed.”

“I’m not here to argue with you,” Shela replied, “Letitia, remember your dad got scalded with boiling

water in jail?”

Letitia’s expression slowly grew grim.

Oh, she definitely remembers. That grudge, it hasn’t slipped her mind.

Her dad, after enduring the hellhole of prison, already up there in years, had to suffer through the

agony of being scalded with boiling water, a fate worse than death…

And the boiling water? It was none other than Shela who chucked it on him!

*Remember now, do you?” Shela cracked a smug smile. ‘Don’t worry, your old man’s doing alright.

After all, the cash you coughed up did some good. But as for your mom, well, that’s a whole other

story.”

“Shela! What the hell are you planning?”

“Me? I haven’t done a thing! Just.. paid a little visit to your mom.

Letitia clenched her teeth and stormed up to Shela, “Who the heck gave you permission? You stay the

hell away from her!”
