CEO's Genius Triplets

Stay

Justin reached out and took Samantha's hand from her forehead to his face. His handsome face rubbed lightly against her hand as he said hoarsely, "Sammie, no matter what happens, can you promise not to leave me?"

His voice was almost pleading, like a child who had done something wrong waiting for forgiveness.

Pitiful yet helpless.

Samantha was stunned for a moment.

She didn't understand why he, who was perfectly fine, suddenly felt so insecure.

It seemed to have started from that message in the afternoon.

"Justin, has something happened? Who called in the afternoon?"

In the afternoon, after picking up Charlotte from the kindergarten, they went to the supermarket together to buy groceries and then went home to cook together.

The food had just been put in the pot and was not yet cooked when Justin suddenly received a message.

His expression changed immediately, he didn't even eat, just hurriedly said something and left.

She thought it was about work.

But seeing him like this, she couldn't help but start to doubt.

Justin shook his head, afraid that she would leave him if she knew the truth. He couldn't help but say, "We've come so far, and I'm afraid of any changes. I value you more than my own life, I don't want to lose you again."

Samantha choked up for a moment, her heart aching so much that she didn't want to speak.

Her eyes also became moist.

How lacking in security must he be to come downstairs to guard her in the middle of the night?

She regretted it now. She shouldn't have agreed to Mrs. Fletcher to leave him. If she really broke up with him, would he collapse?

"There are mosquitoes here, since you're already here, let's go upstairs and sit for a while."

Justin hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The two held hands and went upstairs.

...

Chelsea Creek.

Ethan leisurely sat on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper.

Alexander and Noah pushed each other, signaling each other to go find Ethan.

In the end, Alexander, as the older brother, stepped forward and walked to Ethan, hands on hips, angrily said, "When are you going to bring Mommy back? Do you really want to watch her marry Uncle Justin?"

Ethan's long and slender legs were elegantly crossed together. As if he hadn't heard, he continued flipping through the financial magazine.

Alexander, seeing that his father ignored him, snatched the magazine from his hand angrily.

"Daddy, I'm talking to you! Let me tell you, if Mommy really marries Uncle Justin, and you can't be with her as a couple, then I'll leave you immediately and go back to Mommy's side. I will never accept Suzy as my mother."

Ethan glanced at him indifferently and casually said, "Do you think Justin would raise my son for me?"

Alexander was dumbfounded.

Ethan continued, "If you were Samantha's biological son, he might accept you! But you are my son, and he will never accept you. So, I advise you to dismiss this idea. Before you become an adult, you cannot leave my side."

Alexander was left speechless by his retort, unable to find any words to argue.

Realizing that he could never be with Samantha again in this lifetime, tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Noah immediately sympathetically held his hand and patted his back to comfort him, "Forget it, it's a done deal, let's slowly accept it!"

After all, he had come this far over the years, and he didn't care about the future anymore.

"Sob... I don't accept it, I can't accept it, why does my mommy have to marry another man? No, absolutely not...!"

Alexander cried bitterly, tears streaming down his face, his voice so loud that it almost lifted the roof off.

But Ethan remained indifferent, taking back his financial magazine and continuing to flip through it leisurely.

Alexander was furious, wiping away his tears while glaring fiercely at Ethan, his small eyes sharp as knives.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ethan's lips.

Just then, Ethan's phone rang from his pocket.

It was a call from Jade.

He calmly took out his phone.

A hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sir, um... the person who was waiting downstairs for Miss Samantha just reported that Mr. Fletcher just went to Miss Samantha's house. This situation of a man and a woman alone together... um... all adults know what could happen."

Ethan's hand holding the phone tightened suddenly. His eyes narrowed dangerously, emitting a palpable sense of danger all over his body.

"What did you say? Say it again."

Jade's heart trembled in fear, his lips quivering, but he managed to say, "Mr. Fletcher just went to Miss Samantha's house. Miss Samantha personally went to pick him up..."

Before he finished speaking, Ethan had already hung up the phone, rising from his seat like a gust of wind and leaving.

Alexander and Noah looked at each other, not understanding what had happened, only knowing that their father seemed very angry and anxious.

...

Ethan arrived at Samantha's building as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, at a glance, he saw a Bentley parked illegally at the entrance of the community.

Frost instantly covered his entire face.

Upstairs.

Charlotte was already asleep in the room.

Samantha looked at the empty plate and said gently, "Feeling better after eating? Did it help?"

Justin took out a tissue, wiped the nonexistent oil stains from his mouth, and nodded gently, "I feel much better after eating what you made..."

Samantha smiled and asked, "So can you tell me now what happened?" Then she added, "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say..."

Justin remained silent for a moment and then said in a low voice, "I... I was once with Karen..."

Samantha already knew about this, so she didn't show much surprise and quietly waited for him to continue.

Justin looked up at Samantha, his lips moved as if he was about to say something, but then he abruptly changed his mind, "I was afraid you would mind my past with her..."

Samantha couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're silly, why would I mind? That's all in the past, I won't mind! So, the reason you've been so uneasy today is because of this? Did Karen threaten you with this?"

Justin pursed his lips stiffly and nodded.

Samantha comforted him, "You have a past, I have a past, we're even now, aren't we?"

Justin didn't find solace and felt conflicted.

This matter could become a thing of the past.

But Karen's child couldn't become a thing of the past.

That was a reality.

An indelible one.

That was his child, carrying his blood.

His first child.

To say he felt nothing would be a lie.

To say he was completely willing would also be a lie.

But he knew very well who was most important to him.

If that child became a stumbling block to him and Samantha being together, he would not hesitate to remove that obstacle.

Samantha glanced at the time and said slowly, "It's getting late. How about you don't go back tonight and just rest here! It's an hour from here to your place!"

She felt Justin still had something on his mind.

She feared that he might get into an accident driving in his current state.

For safety's sake, she decided to keep him here.

Justin hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"I don't have any of your clothes here to change into. If you don't mind, you can wear a bathrobe tonight. I'll wash and dry your clothes, and you can wear them to the office tomorrow morning."

Justin agreed with a nod.

Samantha took a clean bathrobe and placed it in the bathroom, then thoughtfully prepared a bath for him.

While Justin was showering, she began to tidy up the kitchen, washing the dishes.

After everything was cleaned up, she habitually drew the curtains.

Just as she pulled the gauzy curtain, she unexpectedly stumbled into a warm embrace.

She was startled and almost lost her balance, nearly falling to the ground.

Fortunately, Justin caught her waist and pulled her into his arms.

Samantha fell into his embrace.

The two of them held each other tightly.

Their body warmth transmitted through the thin fabric.

The temperature around them rose rapidly.

An ambiguous atmosphere enveloped them tightly.

Their breaths became erratic.

'Ba-dump... Ba-dump...'

The silence around them was terrifying.

They could clearly hear each other's heartbeat.

For a moment, both of them froze, forgetting how to react.

Their figures fell into Ethan's eyes through the sheer curtain.

Seeing their bodies pressed together, Ethan's hands on the steering wheel suddenly tightened, his knuckles slightly whitening from the exertion.

His handsome features seemed to ooze water under the dim streetlights.

A chilling aura spread crazily in the narrow car.

‘Damn woman! She was being so intimate with Justin...’

Soft and fragrant, with Justin's embrace filled with emotions, his voice unconsciously became husky, "Sammie..."

There was a hint of danger in his tone.

Feeling his change, Samantha was shocked and immediately distanced herself from him. Her small face flushed red, and she lowered her head in panic, apologizing repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't know you were behind me..."

Justin held her wrist, preventing her from backing away. His gaze turned dangerous, and his thin lips slowly approached hers.

Samantha was completely stunned.

She stared at the approaching handsome face in disbelief, momentarily forgetting to dodge.

Seeing the lips getting closer and closer, Ethan's eyes suddenly turned fierce.

He abruptly opened the car door, surrounded by a raging jealousy, and strode into the community.

Fortunately, he had been prepared, having asked Jade to prepare a gate card in advance.

With the gate card, he could come and go freely here.

Ethan came to Samantha's door aggressively, raising his fist. But at the moment when he knocked on the door, he suddenly stopped, as if awakened from a dream.

What was he doing?

Catching them in the act?

How ridiculous.

What was Samantha to him?

What qualifications did he have to catch them?

Not long ago, he had been so determined that they would never be together.

Had he forgotten so soon?

Ethan self-mockingly curled his lips and couldn't help but curse himself in his heart: Ethan, you're really despicable. With your pride trampled by Samantha like this, you still shamelessly come knocking at her door.

Where's your coldness?

Where's your backbone?

Where's your dignity?

All abandoned for Samantha?

After cursing himself in his heart, Ethan decisively turned around and returned to the car.

The two people behind the curtain were nowhere to be seen.

Normally, anyone with a brain could guess what they were doing.

Thinking of the woman he loved lying under Justin at this moment, he became mad with jealousy, a fire burning in his chest, with nowhere to vent.

Ethan clenched his fists in discomfort.

As if the harder he clenched, the less pain he felt in his chest.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang, pulling him back from his misery.

He answered the call.

Jade's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sir, Karen is missing..."
