Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 224

(Jayden)

"What the hell, Lance?" I mutter, trying to keep my voice low.

Lance, as usual, is completely oblivious to feelings. "What? I thought it'd be a good idea to bring them out, you know, get to know everyone. They're family now, right?

I glare at him, my jaw clenching. "Family? Lance, I handed them shares to keep them and that business out of my life, not to bring them into it."

Lance shrugs, unbothered by my annoyance. "Yeah, but they're here now. Might as well make the best of it. Those sisters are hot hot hot!"

"Do not even go there. I swear Lance..."

Before I can finish, Gabriel catches sight of me and waves hesitantly.

I force a smile and wave back, feeling Winona's eyes on me as she approaches. "I don't know what Lance has done but I know that look between you two."

Lance waves the four of them to come closer. The older sister is looking like she hates it here and the youngest is bopping with the beat and looks excited. The other is somewhere in between, I think. I sigh, running a hand through my hair. "Meet my cousins, from Cuba."

Winona's eyes widen in surprise. "You're kidding. This is them? Oh wow! It's great to meet you all. I'm Winona, Jayden's Fiancée."

"Hi Winona. I'm Gabriel. This is Eva, Ana and Mia. My sisters."

"Hey, come on over ladies and meet my BFF Lisa and my baby sister Cass. We'll let the men do the man

things. Winona grins.

"Great idea," Lance agrees.

Winona kisses my cheek. "You got this," she whispers into my ear.

"I wish I did," I mutter. "Lance thought it'd be a good idea to bring them out tonight."

Winona gives me a sympathetic look before she leads the ladies off to the booth leaving me with Gabriel and Lance.

"Jayden," Gabriel says, his voice thick with the Cuban Spanish accent. "We didn't mean to intrude, but Lance... he insist."
