My Powerful CEO Husband

Chapter 18

Ch. 18 / 753 Jan 28, 2026

Or did she have some other ulterior motive?

"Why do you have to go into the treatment room to take care of me?" Alex asked coldly.

Lita pursed her lips. "I just feel that I have more responsibilities to take care of you than your brother." After a short while she added angrily, "If you don't want me to take care of you, then forget it. I'll be happy not have to do anything."

"All right, neither you nor Alex needs to take care of me! Doctor Owen will take good care of me."

Alex stretched out his strong limbs. It seemed that the fire of desire inside him was fading away. So not having sex with women for a long time made him interested in a woman who might be conspiring against him?

"You have to get along well with Alex. Don't make a fuss of running to your parents' home while I'm being treated! Do you hear me?"

Alex gave order to Lita in the name of Ethan, because he didn't want to go to Bishop family to bring her back again.

"Okay, I know," Lita replied meekly. In fact, the rebellious spirit in her heart was shouting, "You should ask your brother to behave himself."

She tried to be more diplomatic. "Ethan, let's move to the guest room downstairs, okay?"

Moving to the guest room downstairs? What kind of new trick the woman was playing? "Why?" Alex asked coldly.

"Well... Alex usually works until very late. I guess he is very tired after he gets home, so sometimes he doesn't want to go to the third floor. Let's give him the master's bedroom on the second floor," Lita said with hesitation.

"Wouldn't it be more considerate to ask him to sleep in the guest room downstairs?" Alex responded calmly. The woman's excuse was really lame. There wasn't causality between the two things.

"But the guest room downstairs doesn't have a large tub that your darling brother likes," Lita couldn't help but add, "Now that we are married, it is not the same as before. He can't take showers in any bedrooms he likes."

This woman beat around the bush for a long time. So she was just aiming at complaining about the incident the other day he took a shower in the bathroom and had been seen by her naked?

He was the victim of that incident. The woman not only took advantage of him, but also acted as if she was righteous.

'Don't be so smug, Alex. Not all women are interested in your naked body.

"All right, I will tell Alex. I'll ask him to behave himself and not come to the master bedroom on the second floor to take showers. If you see him naked, it will be a big loss for him," Alex said in a low and aged voice.

'A big loss for him? It's me who have loss. Ethan spoils his brother too much. In his eyes, his wife couldn't be compared with his precious younger brother.'

Although she felt aggrieved, with the company of Ethan, Lita fell into a good sleep that night.

But probably the other person couldn't get any sleep at all. There was something he wanted to have but he couldn't.

When Lita woke up the next day, she found herself sleeping alone in the big wedding bed. Ethan was gone. Of course, she wouldn't know that the man who slept with her last night was her lawful husband, Alex.

Lita blushed slightly at the thought of what had happened last night. She really didn't expect that Ethan was still healthy as a man. What should she do? An inexplicable pressure welled up in her heart. Lita let out a long sigh.

She thought that she only needed to take care of his diet and daily life, but she didn't expect... Alas!

But fortunately, the man didn't force her to do that thing with him last night, otherwise she must be scared to death.

When she was making the bed, something dropped by the pillow. It was as big as a coin and seemed to be an electronic product. Lita picked it up and looked at it. She did not know that it was a voice changer that Alex accidentally left last night. It could be stuck to the throat to change one's voice.

"What's this?" Lita doubtfully put it into her jeans' pocket. After washing up, she went downstairs.

She got up too late. Alice said that Alex had helped Ethan with his breakfast.

"Harry, what's this? I found it in my room. Is it a surveillance device? If somebody is spying on Ethan, it would be too bad." Lita thought it was better to tell Harry. After all, somebody conspired against Ethan and made his face ruined in that fire. It had not been easy to save his life, so they had to be careful about everything.

Harry took a glance at it and found that it was a voice changer. "Shouldn't this thing be attached to the neck of Alex? How could it be in the hands of his wife? Did they sleep together last night? If that was the case, it would be great.

Suddenly, a strong arm stretched out and took the device away from Lita's hand. "I'll check it out."

Knowing that Alex cared about Ethan more than she did, Lita stopped asking.

"By the way, my brother has to take further treatment for a period of time recently. Don't bother him in the treatment room. Be good and don't make trouble." Alex sat back at the table and gracefully ate his sumptuous breakfast. His profile was almost perfect.

'What? This man ordered me not to make trouble? Does he still have conscience?'

"Alex, it's not me who is making trouble. You made trouble yourself!" Lita replied, "Please show some respect to me. I'm your sister-in law!"

Last night, she was as docile and well behaved as a pet cat. How could she become an unruly little wild cat in front of Alex? He had the desire to beat her up.

"I have never regarded you as my 'sister-in law'! So don't call yourself 'sister-in-law' in front of me!" Alex snorted, with a serious look on his handsome face.

"..." Lita was so angry that she ground her teeth. Last night, she promised Ethan that she would treat his baby brother nicely! But looking at his arrogant and unscrupulous behavior, how could she treat him nicely?

When Lita was about to blow up, Alex stretched out his shapely hand with a premium credit card and said, "Take it. You can overdraft of thousands dollars with it."

'So he still remembers I asked for one hundred thousand dollars? What's this? Stick and carrot approach?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Alex. But I've already found another way to solve the problem," Lita wouldn't give in to such kind of treatment. Moreover, she had already decided to accept Bella's help.

"Give the money back to Bishop family! You are now a member of our family," Alex said coldly, "You have to be aware of your identity and maintain the reputation of our family! The woman of Selmy family doesn't need outsiders to support her."

Although Alex's words were unpleasant, they were reasonable. She had already married into Selmy's family, and she was a member of the family now. It was indeed embarrassing for Selmy's family if she took money from Bishop family.

Nevertheless, this man was too shrewd. He could deduce that she went to Bishop family to get the money.

All right, in view of Alex's bad conduct, taking his money to give to charity would be good to redeem him from his sins.

Thinking of this, Lita stretched out her hand to take the premium credit card with a relaxed mood.
