The Great CEO's Wife Is A Gangster Chapter 254

She was feeling ecstatic!

It was an hour drive to the valley of dreams and Alex definitely enjoyed the joyride . She didn't know that they will be heading to the valley of dreams but when Ethan told her, she unknowingly hugs the man .

She looks like a child who was about to have her first day adventure . But Ethan was having a good time seeing the woman smiles from time to time .

"Is this your first time visiting the place?" Ethan suddenly asked .

"Ehm… You can say that . " she nodded .

"Really? How come? You've been living in this place for such a long time yet you didn't even visit the place?" Ethan was trying to strike a conversation in hope that the woman will open up something about her past life .

"Life during the past few years was very hard . " She lowered her head when she remembered something but instantly went back to being cheerful after a few seconds . "Well, guess I don't have much time for myself back then . " She grinned .

Ethan saw the sadness in her eyes earlier . although it was quick but he was able to see past through those smiles .

Aisha, what happened to you 3 years ago? How did you live your life? how did you survive the raging sea? Ethan was in deep thought but his gaze was on the road .

Alex was staring outside the window too; she was ogling at the sh.o.r.eline but as far as she remembers, she has never been into the beach . She doesn't know why but she seems to have developed aqua phobia and hydrophobia . She can appreciate bodies of water in a distance but only to that extent . She couldn't even stay long at the pools .

"You want to swim?" Ethan asked when he noticed the woman staring at the sea .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
She shook her head in disagreement . "I'm afraid . "

That statement alone caught Ethan's attention .

"Afraid? Your hydrophobic?"

"Guess I am . " She nonchalantly replied . "Do you know how much I want to walk along the seash.o.r.es and experience the sand but whenever I look at the sea, I could feel the waves luring me into the deep sea . " She muttered .

"Did you ever get drowned before?" Ethan probed .

"Not sure . but I kept having nightmares about me falling from a cliff, sinking deep in the ocean . It feels so real that sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat . " She sadly explained .

Ethan was taken aback . How is she coping up with all those hurdles in her life? he felt guilty all of a sudden . Ah, his Aisha… how did she live her life before? but worry no more since Ethan had decided to do everything he can to protect his woman . "I will surely make you happy from now on, whether you remember me or not, I won't ever give up on you . " he promised to himself .

"I'm sorry . " he muttered lightly .

Alex instantly jerked when she heard him . then she looked at the man who seems to be in deep thought . did she hear him say sorry? for what? she creased her brow . but she doesn't want to a.s.sume anything so she chose to keep still .

After a few minutes, they have arrived at the valley of dreams hotel . ah! Her eyes widened in amazement . It is so beautiful . She could see the famous flower garden maze . It was so wide that anyone who enters will definitely lose their way back . so the need for the map is a must . On the other side, she could see the seash.o.r.e and the famous nest above the trees . People can watch the sunset while sitting on it . dang! it is so beautiful and so romantic! The gra.s.s, the breeze, the flower garden, the sh.o.r.e and many more . But the tower, she's itching to climb on it!

Then she immediately frowned . Ah, right, they are here for business . The excitement on her face slowly faded and a defeated moped shadowed her eyes .

"Let's go . " Ethan cued the woman . "those old folks must have been waiting inside . " then they walked inside the hotel's bra.s.serie .

"Good morning Mr . Darius, Ms . Darlene . Sorry we're a little late . " Ethan kowtowed in front of the couple sipping their teas .

"It's okay dear . Come, join us . " The old man motioned them .

Ethan pulled a chair for Alex beside the old woman who has been staring at her since they walk in . awkwardly, Alex smiled at them .

"I didn't know you have a very beautiful wife Mr . Williams . " The old man teased .

Alex was about to protest but Ethan was quick to answer .

"Ah yes, I am so lucky to have a beautiful wife to join me today . " he was smiling as he stared at the woman's surprised eyes then slowly, he squeezed her hand .

"Ah, you're so sweet . " The old woman finally spoke while grinning from ear to ear . "Lady, your husband definitely loves you so much . You should know that men who brings their wife along with them are the best ones . "

Alex faked a smile then look at Ethan once again . But he only blink at her . what is this man thinking? This is not a part of the original plan! She complained within her .

"Have you eaten yet?" Ethan asked the couples .

"We're done but please feel free to have your breakfast if you haven't had it yet . their strawberry pancake here is amazing!" Darlene suggested .

"Oh, we sure want to try that out . " he responded then he glanced at the daze woman . "How about you, babe, what do you want? Do you want to try that too?"

"No!" she instantly replied then she s.n.a.t.c.hed the menu out of his hands . She doesn't want to trust this man when it comes to picking her food . What if what happened before will happen again? Ah, she can't risk munching a meal she dislikes . Ethan seems to have a bad choice when it comes to choosing her food so why don't she pick her own instead?

Ethan on the other hand was shocked at the woman's sudden reflexes .

"I'll choose one from the menu . I'm kinda craving for a heavy meal right now . " she secretly glared at the man who seemed stunned while staring at her . well, guess she was breathtaking to influence the man like that . she grinned .

After a few minutes, their food came and amazingly, Alex had beef steak while Ethan chose to try the strawberry pancake . The woman was munching heartily that Ethan couldn't resist but watch her . of course, the couples could see how he sincerely adore the woman .

"Eh?" Alex suddenly flexed when she realized that Ethan had been watching her . "Do I have something on my face?" she jested . However, Ethan's next move sent s.h.i.+vers on her spine .

"Eat slowly, wifey . " He whispered then took a paper napkin and started wiping the edge of her lips lovingly . she instantly bit her lower lip since she was caught off guard . why is Ethan acting weird? Is he acting up in front of these couple? She thought . should she go with his acting then?

As soon as she finished her meal, she invited miss Darlene outside . she wanted to feel the breeze but they are there for business purpose only . but why not hit two birds in one stone, instead? The old lady loves her suggestion so she agreed to go with her . she was about to stand up when her shoe hit Ethan's chair and that cause her to land on Ethan's lap .

The man caught her in time but then she turned red in embarra.s.sment . it was a relief but Ethan could feel the woman's fast heartbeat so he smirked meaningfully .

"Be careful next time, wifey . " Then he kissed the woman's delicate neck . She felt the man's lips on her skin and that sent s.h.i.+vers all over her body! fudge! She was flabbergasted!

What is this man doing?! Dang! he was smiling seductively and Alex must admit how she wanted to bite the man's rosy taunting lips . dang! she's totally being magnetize! What's with this man that the physical attraction between them seems to be well orchestrated?

"Do you want more?" Ethan teased the speechless woman . "I love to but Miss Darlene seems to be waiting for you . " he grinned .

She pinched the man's side before standing immediately . She felt humiliated that she couldn't even think straight . All she could do was to glare at Ethan .

"Miss Darlene, let's go?" she averted her attention towards the old woman . and without waiting for the woman's answer, she went behind her and pushed the wheelchair . Her enthralled actions and reaction makes Ethan chuckled as soon as they have exited the restaurant .

"Ethan, why don't you just tell her everything? And why don't you just ask her for a date instead of conniving such plans like this? You do note that your disturbing my moment with my wife, right?" the old man uttered in contempt .

Ethan instantly laugh at the old man's contemptuous face . indeed, that Sat.u.r.day drive is not a business trip . It was all Ethan's idea to cover up his desire to invite Alex out . good thing he was able to convince the couple to meet with them for just an hour . The rest of the day will be on Ethan's mercy .

"Hha! You know I can't… yet . and I'm sure asking her out for a date is a red flag on her part so I'll just try to move closer slowly but surely . " Ethan replied with a devilish grin .

Ah! The old man sighed defeated . If only Ethan was not the grandson of the great Omni then why would he bother to help him? but after a few minutes, the old man smiled . guess extending help to an old friend is not that bad .

"Then do your best to bring her back then . " The old man advised .

"I will, thank you . " he confidently smiled while looking at the woman whose eyes were fixed on the horizon . He had never seen her with such a peaceful aura before . was she that troubled back then? Although he loves the submissive and humble Aisha right now, he still wants to see his strong and fierce woman . she needs to know her real ident.i.ty and she needs to meet her family as well .

"Yeah… I will surely bring my fiancée back . " he swore within .
