Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 102

Blake’s POV

“Where would you like to go later?” I asked, sitting at Laurel’s bedside with a bowl of porridge, I blew on it gently watching her pale face against the stark white pillows.

“I want to go out for some fresh air,” Laurel said weakly, barely above a whisper. The morning light on her face highlighted her fragility.

She opened her mouth as I offered her a spoonful.

“It’s hot,” she complained, brow furrowing.

“Is it?” I tested a drop on my hand. “Doesn’t seem hot to me.”

“But it feels hot in my mouth,” Laurel pouted. “Try it yourself and you’ll see.”

“Don’t be silly,” I said, tapping her forehead lightly.

Our relationship was no longer that of boyfriend and girlfriend–it couldn’t be. This kind of intimate yet ambiguous indirect kiss was inappropriate, especially now with all the online criticism directed at us. The last thing we needed was to

add fuel to the fire.

“I was just trying to lighten the mood,” she said, looking disappointed when I didn’t play along. “You’re so serious today, Blake darling.”

“That won’t happen. Just eat,” I said, holding back what I really wanted to say. Her supposed illness made me cautious with

my words.

“Something’s happened!” Felix Thompson stood in the doorway, face tight with urgency.

“What is it?” I frowned at the interruption.

Laurel looked annoyed. “Barging in and shouting this early? You scared me! This better be
