CEO Of My Heart Chapter 158

She looked at his face and wanted to smother him in the warmest hug .   Ellie wondered if anyone had ever told Henry that he was valued and loved .   Maybe it was that? But she knew that Henry would not welcome such attention from her .   She did not have that kind of trust from him yet . Ellie decided she would try to make the mood a little brighter with an easy smile .

She realized that growing closer to Henry and making him accept her as a life long partner would be difficult .   It would be like landing a rocket ship on a tiny boat in the ocean . Even if she knew the machinery well it would take skill, a careful hand and in truth a good miracle to accomplish this goal .

Even all this might not be enough, Ellie admitted to herself .   She could not count on it to be given simply on the efforts of her own actions .   She could only look off the side of the cliff before she fell and pray that he would be waiting to catch her .

Nadius Prime closed his bathrobe with a serene smile as he could feel his satisfaction from the moment .   He could hear the vibrations of the notifications as it rumbled against the porcelain dish next to his discarded watch .   He looked at it with some annoyance as he pulled his legs over the side of the bed . There was a serving cart that had been brought over by serving staff as he did this .   He liked how the servants had been chosen for their quiet and ability to predict their mistress mood . They had brought this even though he had not ordered them to do so . He found this deeply satisfying and felt a deep sense of ease .   A butler handed him a tablet with the emails that needed his urgent attention highlighted for his convenience . He nodded quickly before picking up his phone . The notification that flashed across the screen was from his G.o.dson Henry's number .   There was a small portrait next to the number which showed a stiff portrait of a rather serious ten year old who looked unhappy to be wearing formal clothing .

Nadius nodded as he opened the text message .   He squinted and put the phone further away from his face so he could read .   Nadius laughed outright as he heard the shower head in the bathroom turn off .   He could hear the quick pitpat of delicate feet as someone toweled herself off .   Providence was a small college town that was tucked away in the New English Countryside like a gem .   It was so small that people often forgot that it was just a stone's throw from the bigger metropolitan city of New York .   Sheng Mei Prime had taken a sixteen hour flight to get home, so she had in total been traveling for over two days when she had arrived at the house .   It was the intersection of two good omens that she had found her husband snoring in the living room . She had played a water prank on him to wake him up and his displeasure had instantly developed to happiness as he had caught her up in his arms .   Both were quite tired and sleepy, but that was all forgotten . Nadius knew that the only true reunion was for them in spending the night in the same room together in a quiet house . The vigor she had even as she approached advanced age made him chuckle as no one would expect such a delicate woman to be the instigator of late night fun .
