Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 114

114 Gut Feelings (Winona)

The next day, I'm feeling better. The visit with Abby was amazing. She even sipped a little milk. She'll be back home before we know it. Maybe today will be a good day. Phillip is still in bed, resting his sore head, no doubt.

Gordon and I are in the private office. He's sipping a coffee, looking more animated than usual. His eyes gleam with a certain excitement that makes me both hopeful and anxious.

"Alright, Gordon," I say, settling into the chair opposite him. "Spill. How did last night go?"

Gordon leans back, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips. "Last night was... enlightening, to say the least."

"Yeah, exciting stuff watching men guzzle beer and shots." I'm still a little surprised still that Gordon and Jayden's lawyer, Daniel, were involved in this.

I mean, I know they're human, but it strikes me as a little odd all the same. They are supremely professional men at the top of their game.

"The real purpose of me going out with them was to get a read on Jayden and his stance with Ashlyn. And while Jayden didn't say it directly, and we didn't discuss the case outright, I gleaned quite a bit." Gordon says with a close-lipped smile.

"I knew it! I knew you weren't going for bro code." I say smugly, pleased some men are actually above it. I raise an eyebrow, leaning forward. "And? What did you find out?"

"Jayden's heart isn't with Ashlyn," Gordon says firmly.

"He's playing a game, and it's clear his feelings are elsewhere. His mind is torn, probably between his duty and his true emotions. And, Winona, I think those emotions are still tied to you. Reading between the lines, I think he was hoping for a confession from Ashlyn as well."

My heart skips a beat, a mix of anger and longing swirling within me. But at the end of the day, he still didn't trust me enough to tell me that himself.
