Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 301

"Ummm, Winona? I'm kinda hungry still."

"Wow. Okay. Look I'll make some sandwiches, okay?"

"PB and J?"

"That's not much of a dinner..." But I'm really too tired to argue.

I guess it's Kids one, Winona zero, on the dinner scale.

I go make enough sandwiches for them all and distribute them. So much for discipline. Now I'm letting them eat in their beds.

Another glance at the clock. Two hours late now. My patience is wearing thin. But I'm going to finish this evening on a happy note. I tidy the kitchen and put the dishes in the sink to soak.

I don't want to use the dishwasher all the time. We make things way too easy for ourselves. Once it's in the drainer, I go and empty the bath and get the clothes and towels into the hamper.

Then I go back past the girls' rooms and take their plates and kiss them goodnight. I tuck them in and lower their lights.

I suppose they should clean their teeth. Well, once won't hurt. I'm not getting them up again.

I go and pour myself a glass of wine and flop onto the couch. The elevator dings and Jayden comes in two and a half hours late.

"Looks like you have it all under control," he says as he places his briefcase down.

"Bobby's waiting for you," I say, sipping my wine. "You're late, and he wanted to talk."

Jayden's face falls. "Damn, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be this late." He drops his keys on the counter, running a hand through his hair. "Where is he?"

"In bed," I reply, trying not to sound too annoyed. "The girls are asleep already."

Jayden sits on the edge of the bed, guilt written all over his face. "I'll catch him tomorrow," he whispers, brushing Bobby's hair back.
