Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 40

“Grandpa, Elgin responded, “What brings you here?”

He tucked Letitia close into his embrace, pulling up the blanket a bit, “She’s still asleep…”

“I know,” Hawley nodded in understanding, “You must’ve worn her out. Let her rest, it’s all good.”

When Letitia woke up, she saw Elgin’s chest up close, and spaced out for a good few seconds, “What’s…”

“Nothing,” his voice was soft, “It’s okay. Keep sleeping.”

*Alright, I was just passing by, thought I’d check in. I won’t disturb you two.”

Letitia blinked, glanced toward the door, and it finally hit her, “Oh, Mr. Hawley, you’re here.”

“Don’t bother get up. Hawley said while turning to leave, throwing in one last comment, “Elgin, keep up the good work,

eh.”

Letitia was completely befuddled, it took her ages to snap back to reality.

Looks like Hawley came for a surprise check-in, and she slept through it.

“Dummy, be sharper next time, Elgin pushed her away, “If grandpa smells something fishy, you know what’s coming for you”

He rolled out of bed, broad shoulders and narrow waist, leisurely buttoning up his shirt.

His body quite the tease, but Letitia wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it.

She watched his back, saying, “Since the old man is so keen on having a kid, you could just have one with Shela. Start trying now, and by the time you remarry, she’ll likely be pregnant.”

Elgin paused buttoning his shirt, his expression not looking too hot, “Shut up.”

“I’m just spitting facts. After all, you like her, and she’s definitely on board.

“I’m not gonna sleep with her.” Elgin said, “I’ll wait till she has a legit title, then we’ll talk.”

Yet Letitia chuckled lightly, “Is it because… you’ve got some problem?”

Elgin turned around slowly, his gaze icy, “What did you say?”
