Goodbye Cheater Hello CEO’s Wife by Payne Walter

Chapter 61

Andrew saw Edmund and Clayton return from the balcony, looking calm, and asked, “Are you guys done talking?”

Ignoring him, Edmund and Clayton sat down on the couch, Clayton proceeded to pour tea for himself and Edmund.

Victor tapped his cup. “What about me?”

Clayton had already set the teapot down and was sipping from his cup.

Andrew chuckled sheepishly. “Give up, Victor, You won’t be winning this guy over anytime soon.” He poured tea for himself and Victor. “Who would’ve thought we’d gather here like this? I wonder if Isabella knows Carmelo. It’d be great if she does.”

The other three men felt the same way.

It was rare for the three of them to show up for the mandatory weekly family dinner at the Maguire manor, which made today rather special.

“Dinner’s ready!” Regina announced as she bounded up to them, then humed into the study to beckon the others.

The house livened up at once.

A feast was laid out on the extended dining table.

Kayson and Hendrix exclaimed, “Wow, look at this spread it’s incredible”

Denise was bringing a plate of beef and broccoli to the table, but Kayson was in her way. She stepped to the left, but so did he. She tried going to the right instead, but he blocked her again. She asked him to move, but she said it so softly that he did not hear her over his bickering with Hendrix

In the end, she kicked Kayson’s leg and snapped, “Move!”

Startled, Kayson turned around and immediately smiled when he saw Denise. “Here, let me take that before you scald yourself”

Denise made no reply. She simply shoved the dish into his hands and walked away.

Kayson watched her leave, chuckling to himself.

“Stop staring.” Hendrix chided, poking Kayson, “You’ll drool in the food.”

The women, on the other hand, were discussing something and laughing among themselves. They also occasionally glanced in Kayson and Hendrix’s direction.

Clayton looked at Isabella. He could sense how happy she was at this moment, and he hoped she would stay this way forever because she deserved to be happy every moment.

The food looked and smelled delicious.

The four secretaries sat across the table from the four assistants Isabella sat facing Clayton, Victor faced Gwendolyn and Andrew, much to his dismay, sat with the women and faced Edmund

Edmund looked around and asked isabella, “Where’s Riharina?”

Isabella, who was passing the utensils around the table, said, “Oh, she couldn’t come because she has to take care of a sick family member.

Disappointment flashed in Edmund’s eyes.

“Is someone sick? Anything I can do to help?” Andrew piped up immediately after hearing what Isabella said.

“I told Rihanna she could look for you if need be,” Isabella replied with a smile.

“Okay, that’s fine. Just have her mention your name.” Andrew’s fork was already hovering over the dishes.

Everyone dug in and praised the food. The women beamed, indulging in the compliments.

Isabella forbade Clayton from drinking due to his injuries, Andrew thought about telling her that Clayton’s injuries weren’t that serious but changed his mind when he considered how amusing it would be to see Clayton deprived of alcohol

Victor realized the dishes he and Clayton liked were made in larger portions, save for the shrimp,
