Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 39

39 One Bite At A Time (Winona)

The next morning, I came out of my bedroom early to go check on Abby. Phillip and I are actually engaged. I do need to pick out a ring, but we'll get to that soon.

We shared some laughs and a few more kisses last night and both went to our own rooms.

I'm not ready to take it to the next level yet. While I'm sending out a big message to everyone, as Judy wanted me too, I'm still not ready to be intimate. I sit beside Abby's bed and watch her sleep.

I silently pray we get the blood we need to get this operation done on Monday.

"Hey, morning. How was last night?" Anne is beside me with coffee.

"I asked Phillip to marry me. He said yes."

Abby moves her head and I nod towards the door indicating we should go out and talk.

In the lounge area Anne sits with her coffee. "Are you sure you aren't rushing it?"

I shrug. "Maybe. But I'm just doing everything afraid at this point. I don't believe in the one true love and soulmate stuff anymore. I've learned the hard way that life is about making choices. Now I'm making them to make sure Abby has all she needs." "That's all well and good if someone isn't manipulating the choices on you."

"Anne, I'm okay and Phillip and I will be okay. All I want to do is get Abby well. I just don't know what I'll do if she has all these operations and then still needs a transplant." I grip my coffee mug.

"How do you eat an elephant?" Anne asks and gets up to push my hair off my face and cup my cheek. Like she used to when things got overwhelming between my studies.

I nod. "One bite at a time."

"I'm going back to our townhouse for the week. If you need me, don't hesitate to call me. Of course I'll be back to visit Abby every day."

"Phillip and I have got this. I'm still working from home for now as we wrap up the consultancy."
