Chapter 777 Still Doing Overtime Work



Chapter 777 Still Doing Overtime Work

Alex still feels a little disappointed, seeing that she has already forgotten about what she had promised him yesterday. It seems like he has to put her through some hardship for her to be grateful. She can’t have things her way every time. He has to hurry to make this happen. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

When Alex comes down to have breakfast, Miya is already there by the table enjoying a joyous breakfast with the children. He can’t believe that she can so easily ignore his feelings, which is quite outrageous. However, it is not the time yet to disclose his feelings. He has to be patient in order to make sure this woman understands her shortcomings.

He adjusts his tie and marches across the living room.

Miya notices Alex and she says, “My husband, it is still early, don’t you want to have breakfast with the kids?”

“I have some matters to handle in the company. Remember to take care of the kids well at home.”

Alex gives her a reminder before turning around and leaves.

She watches him as he leaves while thinking that this is very strange. Usually, he would mess around with her before leaving home, but today he only wants to go to the company as soon as possible. This is not like him at all.

However, she has all the time in the world to accompany the children. She doesn’t need to care about trivial things anymore.

“Where do you guys want to go today?” Miya asks the children.

“Mum, let’s go shopping and get some new clothes. It’s too boring always staying in the same place, I think I need to change my tiny suit into something better.” Ben immediately proposes a suggestion, but Joey just looks on as she smiles.

“I won’t be joining you guys for this. I am bringing her to go to other places.” Andre continues to hold Gogo’s hand, and the two of them are exchanging a lovely gaze.

“If you guys just want to go dating, you don’t need to give me hints like that. By the way, when I see the love in your eyes, I almost can’t help but shudder.” Ben purposefully teases them.

“Alright, I’ll let you guys do what you want.” Miya flashes a brilliant smile.

Today, Miya has brought the children to go shopping in a mall. They have bought many clothes in the process. The children all look like they haven’t been doing any shopping for a while, as they keep tinkering with all kinds of interesting things which are new to them. It was as if they have suddenly recovered their freedom after being enclosed for a long time.

Randy follows them along from behind. At first, when Miya sees Randy, she half-expects Alex to be by his side too. After all, the two of them are basically inseparable.

However, even after a long time has elapsed, Miya still doesn’t see any sign of Alex.

“By the way, is he very busy with work?” She expects that shameless man to stick to her side all the time, especially in outings like this, but to her surprise he is nowhere to be seen this time. She suddenly feels out of place without his presence, therefore she grabs the chance to ask Randy.

“The president has some matters to attend to, so he has instructed me to follow you guys to keep you safe.” Randy replies with a nondescript expression on his face.

“Alright, I understand.”

Miya mumbles a response without think too much about this, because she knows that come night time, that man will practically glue himself to her again after he has returned from work. There is no need for her to think about anything. Contrary to her expectations, even after when she and the children are

done with their dinner and return home, there is still no signs of Alex at all. The time is getting quite late. She immediately goes to ask Randy again.

“Is he not getting off work yet?”

At this time, Miya has already tucked in the children and put them to sleep, since most of them are exhausted after going out the whole day. She also feels that her back and waist are quite sore. Besides, it’s already some time past eleven o’clock. It is rare for even Alex to not come home at this hour.

In response, Randy purposely checks his phone before answering Miya.

“There’s an urgent situation in the company, so the president has to work overtime. He just told me to pass you a message saying that you should go to sleep without him. You don’t need to wait for him.”

Miya suddenly feels a tinge of melancholy when she learns of that. Why didn’t Alex inform her about this personally? Is he trying to play some tricks on her by instructing Randy to pass the word? It is weird that he has suddenly turned into a workaholic. Today is his first day at work. Is she missing him too much?

Perhaps, she has gotten used to him crooning and coaxing her by her ears, and now that he’s not next to her, Miya can clearly feel the gaping space beside her. Suddenly, the whole space is immersed in silence, a silence that she somehow can’t get used to. She decides not to fret over this too much.

Miya stretches herself lazily before walking back to her room while planning to call him to have a talk. However, what really surprises her is that she can’t get through to his phone after calling him. His phone is switched off.

Can it be that his phone has ran out of battery? Miya tries to call again and again, but it yields the same results.

Is he still busy now?

She wouldn’t know the answer anyway, so it’s better for her to just go to sleep for now. Nevertheless, he would come home sooner or later.

The next day, Miya wakes up and is baffled by the fact that there is no changes at all in the room. She is still alone in bed, and that lonely feeling is starting to bother her. Didn’t he come home at all since last night?

She stares at the blanket next to her, and there is no indentation or creases in the blanket at all. This man really didn’t return. Is it true that he is now a certified workaholic?

That company is founded by Miya herself, but why should he suddenly turn into a workaholic? Is it possible that he has fallen asleep in the company? Maybe she should visit the company today to check on him so that he wouldn’t complain about her not caring for him again.

When Miya is all dressed up and is about to depart, the children are heading towards her.

“Mum, mum, where are we going today to have fun?” The children has gotten a taste of great fun since yesterday, so they want more of it now. Miya wants to fulfil her children’s wishes, but thinking that her husband might be out cold in the company and there’s a chance he would get sick, she decides that her priority is paying the company a visit rather than having fun with the kids.

“Today, I need to go to the company to work, so you guys have to stay put and be obedient. If you want to go out, ask grandma to bring you guys out. You can ask Randy about that too.”

Miya contemplates for a while before giving a response.

The children have a disappointed expression on their faces after hearing her words. It is very obvious on Joey as she stomps to one side with a frustrated face.

On the other hand, Ben is more understanding. He promises Miya, “You can go to work, mum. I can bring them out for an outing later, since we have Randy looking after us.”

After hearing Ben’s confident words, Miya feels that her worries considerably subside. She immediately bids farewell to her children before getting into the car.
