The CEO’s Surrogate Wife novel Chapter 381

By the time Alex gets home, it is getting late night.

He walks to the door and is surprised to find that the door had been shut and had been locked with many locks. So he can’t get in. Alex knows it is the children’s masterpiece.

Alex takes out his cell phone and made a call to the children, but nobody answers the phone. He looks carefully and finds a letter left for him at the door.

“Teachers said that all disciplined places will have a curfew. We made an eight o’clock curfew. Nobody can get in after eight.

Curfew? Alex never heard of any curfew in their house. It is probably a complaint from the children about his going out early in the morning and coming back at late night, but he can’t tell them now that he goes to see their mother every day.

Wait. Why not? Alex asks himself. The reason may simply be that he doesn’t want Miya to think that her disguise had failed.

“Isn’t it so cruel to treat Dad like this?” Joey leans over the window and looks at Alex who is upset.

“Cruel? Mommy's still missing? But there is his news about love affairs with the bitch every day. Did not you hear his news all over the school?” Ben says angry. And he looks at Alex with hatred.

Joey twitches her mouth. She doesn’t know what’s wrong with Ben recently. He is moody. He never gave her a nice look since the day they quarreled. Joey doesn’t even know if she did something wrong to make him angry.

“But…” Seeing Alex's back in the dark, Joey feels sad, “But daddy looks so miserable.”

“He is miserable? What about mommy?” Ben snorted, “No wonder mommy ran away from home, because you are not standing by her.”

“Ben, you go too far to say so! You are not the only one who worries about mommy. We all worry about her.” Andre stands up and tries to stop the coming war.

“That is right, Ben. I am also sad about mommy’s missing.” Joey looks at Ben. The lights are not on now. They are all seeing things by moonlight. Ben's face is sullen in the moonlight. He looks at the others coldly and gives off a cold air. It scares her.

Andre and Louis also look at Ben.

“You are really a fool.” Ben snorts, then turns and goes back to his room, “Anyway, I would never feel pity for anyone who made Mommy sad.”

“What is wrong with Ben?” Joey looks at Ben’s back and is confused.

Andre shakes his head. He doesn’t know what had happened to Ben, either. Ben is nervous recently, as if he is the only one who is right and the others are wrong.

Louis is smart and suddenly he says, “He said he heard something at school, so maybe something happened to him at school.”

Joey and Andre think it makes sense.

Ben is a talented person, although they attended school together, but Ben is in a better class with best students. And his class’s study time is much longer than others and they usually study six days in a weak.

Andre had a chance to get in Ben’s class before, but he was a little nervous about leaving Louis alone in his regular class, so he gave up.

If Joey knew what her brother Ben really thought, she would go up and scold him. She is in the regular class, too. Why doesn't Ben care about her?

“Tomorrow is Saturday. We are not going to school except Ben. Let us see what is going on.” Louis suggested.

“I agree.” Joey seconded.

“So go back to bed early and get up early tomorrow.”

The kids go back to their room, but Alex is still in his car...

He smiles as he looks at the locked door and looks up at the newly closed window. Will he spend the long night alone in this uncomfortable place?

Of course he won't.

Alex drives back to the beach. The lights on “the island coffee” had turned off. It is half past nine. He lies on the steering wheel and watches the darkened beach. Sure enough, he has to spend the night alone in such an uncomfortable place.

As soon as Alex closes his eyes, he sees a light in front of him. The light is so dazzling and wakes him up. He looks up and sees a woman, who is running past him.

That figure looks familiar.

What is she doing here so late? Alex is confused but he just looks at her quietly in the car.

After a while, Miya comes out of the coffee shop with a small chain in her hand.

The chain is shining in the moonlight, and Alex recognizes it was phone chain brought by Miya. There is a pair of phone chains and the other one in his hand. He takes out his cell phone and there is really a same phone chain.

“Thank god, it is not lost.” Miya looks at the chain happily. She came back to look for this chain.

She had just returned to her apartment when she noticed that the chain on her phone was missing. She had been looking around for a long time, but found nothing. Michelle thought it was possible left in the coffee shop and Miya also thought so. So she came back in a hurry.

Fortunately, the chain was on the counter, where the phone was placed during the day.

Now that the chain has been taken, Miya is about to go back. But when she takes few steps, a group of people suddenly appears in front of her.

Miya stands still and looks coldly at the men in front of her, silently putting the phone chain in her pocket.

The leader is a rascally man with a toothpick in his mouth. And he is in nondescript clothes.

"Oh, Miss Miya? Why are you here so late?"

The leader smiles and walks towards Miya.

Miya looks at the man in front of her and steps back. She doesn't know the man.
