Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 141

Christiana’s POV.

I leaned back in my office chair, twirling the delicate gold pen in my hand as the phone pressed against my ear. Alex’s deep, velvety voice filled the room, wrapping me in a comforting warmth 1 hadn’t realized I craved until recently. Things felt normal again.etfortless, as though the last week of tension had never existed,

“So, you’re saying you handled the board meeting without snapping at anyone?” I teased, a smile tugging at the comers of my lips.

“Miraculously, yes,” Alex chuckled, his rich baritone vibrating through the line. “Though James nearly tested my patience when he..”

“Ma’am?” Grace’s voice interrupted softly from the door as she pecked in. She held a folder in one hand and her tablet in the other, her efficient demeanor firm.

I raised a finger, signaling for her to wait, as I focused back on Alex. “James again, huh? You should just promote him to Head Annoyer

Alex laughed, and I could imagine him shaking his head. “Tempting Very tempting. What about you? How’s the queen of jewelry and accessories faring today?”

I glanced at the reports Grace had placed on my desk earlier, detailing our latest line’s performance. “Queen? A bit much, don’t you think?”

“Not at all,” Alex said firmly. “You own half the market in your industry, Christiana. Own it.”

His words warmed me, though I masked it with a playful scoff, “Well, my empire is thriving, thank you for asking. Grace will make sure of it even if I collapse from exhaustion”

Grace smirked as the scribbled something onto her tablet

“Good. I need my queen in perfect health,” Alex replied, his tone dropping slightly, carrying that magnetic charm I could never resist.

I rolled my eyes but smiled, leaning my head against the backrest. “Your queen is fine. Now tell me about Sebastian. How’s he settling into this whole. billionaire’s club?”

There was a brief pause before Alex sighed. “Honestly, he’s still adjusting Growing up with nothing and then being thrown into this world.it’s overwhelming for him.”

I could hear the pride in Alex’s voice, though he tried to mask it.

“Is he handling it okay?” I asked softly.

“He is. But sometimes I catch him staring at things like he’s expecting it all to vanish. It’s surreal for him” Alex admitted, his tone growing thoughtful.

A pang of envy struck me unexpectedly. I envied Alex for having someone like Sebastian, a brother he could bond with. Growing up, I always wanted that a sibling to share secrets, dreams, and burdens with. But I pushed the thought aside, focusing on the joy in Alex’s voice.

“That’s good, though,” I said, smiling as I rested my chin in my palm. “I mean, surreal or not, it sounds like he’s finding his place.”

“He is. Slowly
