Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

A shocker.

(ARIELLE'S POV)

The next morning, I got prepared and left for work early. With all I overheard the previous night, I would rather not face Jared or Sofia.

As I boarded a cab to work, I couldn't stop thinking about how to come up with a plan to send Sofia away and take back control of my life and marriage.

I arrived at work and tried to distract myself with tasks and meetings, while also trying to evade Rebecca's curiosity on why Jared didn't drive me to work.

During lunch break, Ashley stopped at the restaurant on my plea. I really needed to talk to her in person because if there was anyone who could help me, it was her.

Seated in my office, Ashley cut to the chase. "So, have you come up with a plan yet?"

I shook my head, feeling frustrated. "No, I haven't. I've been thinking about it all morning, but can't think of anything."

"You have to, Arielle," Ashley said, sitting up on the seat, her expression serious. "Before things get out of control. Sofia is already plotting your divorce; who knows what she's capable of?"

"I know. It's just that, every idea I come up with seems ridiculous or impossible. You know how adamant Jared is, about her living with us. I'm so tired and clueless."

Ashley sighed and went silent, an act she does whenever she was in thought. "Actually, I thought of something," she finally said.

"Really?" I asked, leaning forward in expectancy.

Ashley nodded. "Yes. I think you should do something endearing to soften Jared's mind, and get him to have a rethink."

My eyes narrowed. I wasn't expecting that. "Something like what?"

"Something like preparing his favorite meal. You know how much he loves eating your food. After cooking, ask that you both eat alone in your dining room upstairs. Emphasis on alone, Sofia shouldn't be there. Lastly, make sure you look and smell nice, too." My brows shot up in confusion. "Is that your plan?"
