My Powerful CEO Husband

Chapter 71

Ch. 71 / 753 Jan 28, 2026

What Eva said shocked Lita. This was the way Alex loved her? How could it be possible? How could Alex love her? He molested her just to cater to some kind of bad hobby. On the surface, he cared about her, but he was just protecting the reputation of Selmy family, because she was Ethan's wife!

'No, no, how could Alex fall in love with me? This is a big joke. He can't fall in love with me, and he will never fall in love with me!'

"Don't talk nonsense, Eva. I am Alex's sister-in-law. If you say so, it will hurt their brotherhood." Lita stopped Eva's whimsical conjecture.

Eva seemed to feel that her words were indeed thoughtless, so she didn't saying anything else.

That night, Lita had troubled sleep and nightmares followed one after another. She was entangled with the crazy men in Nocturne Club, and then Alex was on top of her and made her couldn't move. She begged him for mercy....

But there a sweet dream too. She was hugged by a healthy and handsome man, being kissed and caressed like a baby. Lita couldn't see the man's face clearly, but she knew that he was a gentle man. Lita was in love with him. She was hungry for his kisses and his kisses had comforted her lonely heart.

Lita felt she was being loved in that dream.

When she woke up, she realized that she had been crying in the dream. She didn't know whether it was because the bad dreams frightened her or because the sweet dream that touched her.

Alex didn't stay at home that night. At the breakfast table, Alex didn't show up. For some unknown reason, Lita felt a little disappointed and worried about men. Alex never missed the breakfast time of his brother. But when Alice went to deliver breakfast to Ethan, Alex was not in the treatment room.

The man stayed outside the whole night.

"Lita, I will go back to the orphanage. I haven't returned for a whole night. Although Dean Oliver knows that I stayed here, she will still worry about me." The medicine of Selmy family was really good. The wound on Eva's leg had almost healed overnight. She wore a long dress that reached her ankles she borrowed from Lita, and no one could tell that her leg had been injured. Only when she walked, she staggered a little bit.

"Stay here until this afternoon," Lita said, trying to keep her longer.

Eva was different from the girls of Bishop family. The girls of Bishop family all desired for Alex but Eva didn't. She was very reserved and calm, and also faithful to her friends.

"Don't ask me to stay. You know, people like me can't adapt to the life of rich people. It's really uncomfortable to have people serve me. You'd better let me go back and stay with those little children in the orphanage." Indeed, she couldn't get used to being served by the maids.

Every time Alice called her Miss Cassidy respectfully, she would have goose bumps all over her body. Perhaps, in her mind, she was also a humble person. Only in front of those orphans of the orphanage, could she be vivacious and confident.

"Then I'll go back to the orphanage with you. I haven't seen Dean Oliver for a long time." Lita suddenly wanted to go there and have a look too.

Lita asked Alice and Harry about Ethan's physical condition. When she heard that Ethan had calmed down, she was relieved. After discussing with Alice, Lita packed the leftover cakes and desserts, as well as some milk sent two or three days ago, and prepared to bring them to the children in the orphanage.

The people of Selmy family were very picky on food. Generally, they would only drink the fresh milk and organic yogurt sent the very day, though the shelf life was a week. They would never drink those that had been kept for two or three days. Even Alice and Harry wouldn't drink them. So those all became Otto's food. If Otto couldn't finish them, then they would end up being thrown into the garbage bin by Alice.

Lita always felt it was a great waste to throw away the milk, so she used it to wash her face. She didn't know that the milk Alice gave her to wash face was in fact was the freshest one.

Lita knew that Selmy family was rich. Especially Alex, he had become a new tycoon in Lisbon. He was meticulous about Ethan's meals and living. He wouldn't allow any mistake. Some fruits and seafood were delivered by air from their origin.

They spent the money they earned the way they liked. It was beyond reproach.

Lita did not want Harold to have driver send her and Eva to the orphanage, but Harry insisted on the arrangement. Lita knew that Harold must had been reprimanded by Alex, so he became more scrupulous now.

Wherever Lita went, he would arrange the driver to send her to, and then waited there for her to come back.

Seeing the little children again, they were so happy that they forgot about the time. The children were so innocent and carefree.

When the night fell, Lita had to face the reality. 'I am Ethan's wife, so I have to go back to Selmy for dinner.'

She wondered if the man who spent the night outside had returned or not. She sighed slightly. Suddenly, she felt that she was really stupid. That man did not respect her. Why should she care about him again and again? And her concern about him seemed to be beyond her control now.

She really despised herself! She sighed again. When she got on the business car of Selmy family, her mood changed from cheerful and carefree to melancholy. She seemed to be looking forward to returning to Selmy Family, but at the same time she was afraid of returning there.

'What's wrong with me? My mind is really chaotic! I can't calm down no matter what." Perhaps this was the first time Lita had tasted the bitterness of missing somebody. She couldn't say it to anyone and even admit it to herself. That felt terrible.

Two black Jeep Wranglers followed Lita's business car closely, one on the left and one behind.

In the Wrangler behind, a pair of cold eyes were watching the business car. Ben squinted his eyes.

This was the favor he promised Ethan. He would kidnap Lita, and then ask Alex to rescue her. All these were just the prelude. What Ethan really wanted was to lock up Alex and Lita in the same room.

In other words, they were making the right time and right place for them to create the offspring of Selmy family in the shortest time.

Ben really admired Ethan. He had even calculated the ovulation period of Alex's wife. Of course, it was not difficult. He could just ask Alice. It was just that he was too ardent on this matter.

In fact, the more Ethan cared about the offspring created by Alex and Lita, the more Ben felt that the problem was serious. 'It seems that he has already put his death on the agenda.

Ethan wished that after his death, Alex not only had a woman to take care of him, but also had a new life to keep him company. In this way, Alex could get rid of the pain of losing his loved one as soon as possible. The ideal was beautiful, but the reality was always cruel!
