Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 116

He was about to light a cigarette, head bowed, when Shela stopped him, “Mr. Ramirez, maybe ease up on the smokes? It’s bad for your health. Plus… we’re thinking of having another child, so it’s better if you quit smoking for the baby’s sake.”

He frowned slightly.

Seeing he was miffed, Shela quickly added, “But I get it, you’re swamped with work and the stress is through the roof. Sneaking one once in a while isn’t the end of the world.”

Then, she even reached for the lighter herself, ready to spark it up for him

But Elgin just wasn’t in the mood for a smoke anymore.

Had he actually promised her they’d start trying for a baby now?

“Mr. Ramirez Shela hesitated, “Did I say something wrong?”

“It’s nothing” His expression turned icy. “I asked you here because Letitia wanted to talk.”

“Letitia?”

“Yeah, me.” Letitia nodded. “Shela, you just had a miscarriage and you’re already itching to try again? Isn’t that too soon?”

Shela snorted, “Mind your own business. What do you want from me? Think a few feeble apologies will earn my forgiveness? Dream on! I’ve laid out my terms. If you can’t meet them, forget about my forgiveness!”

Letitia couldn’t help but find Shela’s confident air amusing.

She said softly, yet loud enough for everyone to hear, “I’m not apologizing, Shela, because I did nothing wrong. You never miscarred because you were never pregnant to begin with!”
