My Powerful CEO Husband

Chapter 14

Ch. 14 / 753 Jan 28, 2026

"Bella, are you going to the Selmy house with me?" Lita was stunned to hear that.

"Well, after all, you have married Ethan, and Alex is waiting downstairs. It's something my father can't change. Don't make it too difficult for my father! Selmy family isn't who we can defy! I've decided to accompany you to stay in Selmy family for a few days. It's what I can do to support you."

Bella's purpose wasn't to keep Lita company. She just wanted to have a chance to be close to Alex.

Lita fell silent. What Bella said was exactly what she was worried about: She was married. If her a tantrum would cause trouble to Bishop family, she wouldn't feel comfortable.

She decided to forgive Alex for Ethan's sake. She had to seriously warn that man not to offend her that way again.

On one hand, it was Ethan, who made her feel sorry for him, and on the other hand, it was Alex, who made her gnash her teeth with hatred... She had no choice but to compromise! It made Lita feel sad.

When she went downstairs, she had a very complicated mood. She couldn't escape, so she had to clench her teeth and fight against the demon! Anyone would have weaknesses, and Alex would not be an exception.

Seeing Lita going downstairs obediently, a charming smile appeared on Alex's lips. However, in Lita's eyes, it was so annoying. She wanted to devour this man and let him know that he could know that she had sharp fang.

"Mr. Selmy, Lita is a little upset. I want to send her back to your family. You don't mind, do you?" She deserved her reputation as a famous lady in the city. Her words were polite and gentle. Nobody would be able to refuse her.

"Thank you then, Miss Bella." Alex smiled slightly, as if he didn't want to explore the reason behind it.

"Mr. Selmy, I'll go with Lita too." With her outgoing character, Chloe blurted out without thinking. She always spoke what she thought. From her behavior, it was obvious that she had a crush on Alex at the first glance.

Alex smiled gentlemanly and said without revealing any emotion, "I'm afraid the car would be too crowded for you."

"Not at all! I don't mind." Her eagerness made others see through her heart immediately.

"Chloe! Don't make trouble." Maria felt really humiliated by her second daughter.

Chloe could only watch them leave their home. She was so angry that she stamped her feet and thought, "Bella is so hateful! She has the scheme to steal my man."

"You still haven't got it? Mr. Selmy isn't interested in the woman who hit on him!" said in a cold voice sarcastically.

Chloe's heart was already full of anger. When she heard Chloe mocking, she burst out immediately because of embarrassment, "Eva, you b*tch, I'll beat you to death!"

Looking at his two daughters who were chasing after and wrestling with each other, Jack sighed deeply and said, "If only I have a son! Daughters would leave the family sooner or later!"

Alex's Ferrari sports car had only two seats. The three of them couldn't get into the car.

And Lita didn't want to take Alex's car and be alone with him. So Bella could only drive her red BMW out of the garage.

Bella's beautiful eyes kept fixed on the black Ferrari behind of her car. Several times she almost ran a red light. She was really impressed by the infinite charm Alex. She was deeply convinced that Alex was the prince charming God gave her.

Indeed, it is difficult to guess what fate God would arrange for people: If Bella had not detested Ethan for his destroyed face and married him, she would have been the wife of Alex now. Unfortunately, she couldn't guess God's will.

If Bella knew that the person Lita married was Alex, the one she had been loving secretly, she would beat her chest and stamped her feet.

"Lita, I guess Alex is very nice to you, isn't he? He has come to pick you up in person," Bella was very interested in all the topics about Alex.

Lita fell silent for a moment. She didn't want to wash the dirty linen of Selmy's family in front of Bella. Besides, she couldn't help even if she knew her trouble. She didn't want to bother her with these things.

"By the way, do you know what Alex's interests are? What is his favorite food?" Bella continued to ask.

Lita was a smart woman. From Bella's words, she could see that Bella had a crush on Alex.

Did he have any interest? Could bullying his sister-in-law be counted as one?

As for what was his favorite food... When she thought of a table of dishes she spent an entire afternoon preparing, and the reward she got, she was so angry that she gnashed her teeth!

"Lita? What are you thinking about?" Not hearing Lita's reply, Bella couldn't help but ask. Then she sighed slightly. "But you have only been married into that family for a few days, it's normal that you know nothing about Alex's like and dislike. By the way, is Alex easy to get along with?"

Lita was furious again. Looking at Bella's expectant eyes, she slightly curved her red lips and raised her eyebrows, replied, "He should be easy to get along with! Bella, I think you are a good match for him! You are a famous pretty lady and he is a outstanding..."

When she praised Alex, she felt that she was being unconscionable. He was outstanding? He was despicable and shameless!

"Really?" Bella smiled beautifully. "I'm afraid that Alex has very high standards for women and wouldn't like me."

Compared with Chloe, who was frank and outspoken, Bella was gentler and more graceful. However, Lita could see her heart from the way she kept looking from the rearview mirror at the black Ferrari that followed them in a fixed distance. Her eyes were full of tenderness and passion.

It seemed that Bella did take a fancy to Alex!

Lita pursed her beautiful red lips and couldn't help taking a glance at the Ferrari behind from the rearview mirror.

At the Selmy house.

Lita leaned on Bella. With Bella staying in Selmy family to keep her company, Lita felt more or less relaxed.

However, Alex strode over and stood in front of Lita. His big and straight shadow fell on Lita.

"Miss Bela, thank you for sending Lita home. Be careful when you drive back at night." It was a simple and straightforward order for the guest to leave. It was delivered gentlemanly, but the hearer couldn't help feeling cold at it.

Bella was known as a cultivated lady in the circle. Of course, she understood Alex's meaning. He wanted her to leave right now. He didn't even offer her a drink. Her heart couldn't help but feel sad.

"Don't mention it." Bella said stiffly, "Lita, take care of yourself and be good. I'll go back home now." Her tone was gentle and graceful.

"Bella, don't leave! It's too late. You'd better stay here. I want to catch up with you."

Lita wanted to take a step forward to grab Bella's hand, but she was blocked by Alex's strong body. Moreover, her right wrist was tightly clutched by a hand as strong as iron clamps. She gasped because of pain.

"You can talk tomorrow. It's too late. Miss Bella needs to go home and get rest. Lita, you can't be too willful! Be good!" Alex's handsome face seemed warm, but his words were cold.

He didn't sound like a man talking to his sister-in-law. Why did the words sound strangely obscure and intimate?
