Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

Chapter 12

13 Protecting What’s Mine

13 Protecting What's Mine (Winona)

Back at my hotel suite, I kick off the high-heels and stretch my toes. I'm not sure where Judy was tonight but I certainly count it as a positive that she wasn't adding to that drama.

I'm certain her and Ashlyn are still working together against me. I just wish they'd all leave me alone to get on with my life. Coming back here was crazy. But Phillip deserved the break. He's worked so damn hard for our business. "Here, I got us some water. Are you hungry?"

"Thanks for the water. I think Anne has some food we can reheat later. Right now, I need to tell you a few

things."

He takes his suit coat off and unbutton cuffs and collar. "I see. It can wait if you want to eat now," he

offers.

"No. I need to tell you everything." I take a deep breath "Jayden Brennan is my ex-husband. We divorced just before I moved and started up my marketing business."

"I see. Well, that explains the daggered stares he sends when he thinks I'm not looking."

"What? Is he bothering you?" I didn't realize this was happening. Jayden has no right to be jealous but I can't say I'm disappointed.

"No. I'm good. Just something a guy notices with another guy. I thought he was sweet on you. Can't blame him really." Phillip smiles. "He's not made of wood."

I suck in breath. "Philip, I need to ask you a really big favor." I wring my hands together. "You can absolutely say no if you want."

"What? Other than pretending to be your 'partner in life?" he laughs.

I give a small smile. "Well, it's related to that actually... Can you adopt Abby as my domestic partner?" I blurt out before my nerves get the better of me and I back out. "What?" His eyes open wide.

I sigh. "There's a lot more to this story than Jayden being my ex."
