The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140

That afternoon, Sam showed up at the hospital with Sean’s laptop, a stack of contracts, reports, project proposals, and a portable desk and chair. They were all moved straight into Charlotte’s hospital room.

Although she had a private nurse, Sean insisted on personally taking care of her.

To be honest, there wasn’t much for him to do. Nurses handled the IVs, a cook brought her meals, and the nurse kept the room clean and tidy. But even though Sean’s schedule was packed, he always seemed to find something to do for her.

Charlotte had only made an offhand comment about him making soup for Vivian. And even though the soup hadn’t actually been made by him, her mood had clearly soured. So, to cheer her up, Sean promised to take time off the next morning to make her some homemade soup.

When the cook delivered a fresh meal, Sean insisted on setting it up on the small table himself and feeding Charlotte bite by bite.

Charlotte laughed softly, shaking her head.

“I’m not a little kid. I can eat by myself.”

“Nope. You’ve got an IV in your hand. Don’t move around too much.”

Afterward, when it was time for her medicine, Sean poured her a glass of water, making sure she swallowed every pill.

Even if she wanted fruit, he would personally peel it or cut it into neat pieces for her.

Charlotte couldn’t help but smile, her gaze drifting to the pile of documents stacked on his makeshift desk.

“Aren’t you busy?”

“No matter how busy I am, I’m not going to neglect my wife.”

The nurse standing by couldn’t help but chuckle, a warm smile on her face.

“Miss Riley, your husband really dotes on you.”

Charlotte’s cheeks warmed, a blush spreading to her ears, but she didn’t deny it.

When the nurse left, Sean leaned back in his chair, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

“So you’ve admitted I’m your husband?”

Charlotte gave him a playful wink.

“Didn’t you say I’d end up as your wife sooner or later? I’m not planning to run, and I probably couldn’t even if I tried so I guess I’ll just accept it.”

Sean’s smile widened, his gaze gentle.

“That’s more like it.”

Thanks to Sean’s attentive care, Charlotte recovered quickly and was soon discharged from the hospital.

After a busy period, Sean finally wrapped up his toughest project. With some free time on his hands, he decided to take Charlotte on a trip.

He still felt guilty. Their stargazing trip had been ruined by Vivian’s drama, and then Charlotte had been put through the ringer at the family dinner, facing Mrs. Jasper Sr.’s cold attitude. He wanted to make it up to her, to spend quality time together and strengthen their bond.

When he brought up the idea, Charlotte hesitated but eventually agreed. She had just wrapped up a few cases—some with verdicts announced, others awaiting trial – so she had three or four free days.

Since time was limited, they decided against traveling abroad.

Instead, they chose a popular domestic destination a charming, old–fashioned town nestled at the foot of snow–capped mountains in the northwest.

Charlotte picked the spot. She had wanted to visit this place for the past two years but had always been too busy to make it happen.

Meanwhile, Zac had just finished a meeting when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and picked up.

“Ethan, what’s up?”

Ethan’s voice was practically buzzing with excitement.
