A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!-Chapter 257 - Congratulatory Messages

257 Congratulatory Messages

After Leon left The Blizz hotel, he drove straight home to his second mansion.

Compare to how he left the house the previous day looking like a wounded beast, he was in a jolly good mood as he drove into his home premises.

When Leon alighted from the car, a young man by the name of Austin was already standing by his car and waiting on him.

Austin was professionally dressed in a black well-tailored suit, an immaculate white inner shirt and a black tie. His neatly polished black leather shoes paired with his well-positioned chauffeur hat gave him the distinctive touch of an elite chauffeur.

“Good morning, Mr. Leon.” Austin smiled politely with a bow. Inwardly, he couldn’t contain his excitement at being given the rare opportunity to be close to the well-renowned and worshipped Leon Treshvire.

“You must be the new driver I asked for, right?” Leon asked in a placid but authoritative tone.

“Yes, Sir!” Austin replied in a slightly apprehensive tone. He was expecting Leon to snap at him but Leon’s gentle voice slightly threw him off balance.

Before Leon arrived, Austin had been briefed by Ida that the boss was in a terrible mood. She advised him to be careful and mindful of how he acted or what he said in the boss’s presence.

Ida even went a step further in advising Austin to reply to all of Leon’s questions with either yes or no. She further told him to avoid any form of unnecessary conversation or compliment as these could attract the boss’s wrath. ƒ𝔯ℯe𝘄𝐞𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵ𝘦𝒍. com

“Very good! By now, you should be acquainted with the cars and how I use them per day,” Leon asked.

“Yes, Sir, I am.”

“Impressive! So, get the car ready and I’ll be with you shortly.” Leon threw his car keys at him and briskly walked into the house.

After showering and getting ready for work, Leon went straight to the dining room where he sat down for a light breakfast.

While he was eating, he turned on his phone and was stunned at the number of messages that flooded it.

“What the hell is going on?”

He quickly browsed through some of the messages which rendered him speechless and enraged.

Just when he thought he had seen and read enough, he stumbled into some pictures of his precious wife posing for someone and happily showing off her baby bump in a pretty but seductive dress.

Thinking that there was a mistake with the timing and date, he quickly checked when the picture was posted and was amazed to discover that it was uploaded a few minutes ago.

“F**k me!”

The color drained from Leon’s face as he abruptly stood up and forcefully pushed the plate of food he was eating, causing it to fall from the table with a heavy thud and crash sound, as it hit the floor.

On hearing the crashing sound, Ida came running into the dining room. But the sight of Leon’s monstrous glares made her quickly do a perfect U-turn out of the room.

“I will attend to it later, Sir,” Ida said as she shut the door behind her.

“Oh, Ella! Ella!!” Leon’s face palmed his forehead as he quickly dialed John’s number.

“Where the hell is, my wife?” Leon boomed when John picked up on the first ring.

“She is in her room, upstairs, Sir.”

John’s confident response made Leon’s strained nerves relax a bit. His fear that Ella didn’t spend the night at home or was with a stranger gradually faded away.

“Who is in the house with her?” Leon asked again in a lesser chilly tone as he could guess John’s reply.

“It’s madam Denise, Sir. She spent the night here in order to keep madam Ella company. Also, Dr. Julie came down to the mansion to check up on madam Ella yesterday. Even as we speak now, madam Ella is out of the house and she is walking toward me. I think she’s about to leave for work.”

“Okay! Keep me informed of all her daily activities.” Leon said and ended the call.

Immediately after Leon ended John’s call, his phone started ringing.

When he checked the caller’s identity and saw that it was Tom, he decided to take the call.

“Hey Tom, what up?” Leon tried his best to hide his emotions as he spoke in a slightly calm tone.

“Bro, did I offend you or something? Why have you been avoiding my call? You even turned off your phone after a while. I had to learn certain information from my fiancee.”

Tom’s tone conveyed a hint of anger and disappointment.

“Tom, I’m sorry for bouncing your call,” Leon said genuinely. “Yesterday was one of those terrible days in my life that I couldn’t speak to anyone.”

“Come on bro, I’m not just anyone. We’re more like brothers from different mothers. Whatever hurts or affects you also affect me.”

Leon breathed out a sigh of frustration.

“I know that, bro. It’s just that sometimes in life, you need to handle your sh*t all by yourself.”

“Yeah, that’s true!” Tom sighed. “But anyways, I heard about your dad and Nana from my fiancee and I’m sorry about them.”

“Thanks, bro!” Leon’s badly contoured face slightly relaxed at the mention of his late dad and Nana.

“By the way, it hurts me that I’m among the last set of people knowing about this. I thought you told me that you will never have kids. I can see Ella has done great changes in you. congratulation, man!”

At these words, Leon almost punched a hole through the mahogany dining table as rage seeped through his entire system.

“Tom, I’m not in the right frame of mind to speak to you right now. Let’s catch up this evening at our usual club hang-out spot and talk at length.”

“O...okay, bro.” Tom drawled.

“One more thing, please, don’t go about congratulating me on anything. I haven’t changed my mind about having kids. And I need you to talk to Denise to stop encouraging or indulging my wife in this pregnancy disaster.”

“Wow! I’ll try and talk to her.”

“Good, see you later bro.” Leon ended the call.

After Leon ended the call with Tom, more and more congratulatory messages started entering his phone from different angles thanks to the picture uploaded on social media.

He was forced to respond to some messages and delete others.

“What have you done Ella!” Leon lamented as he quickly drafted a message and sent it to her.
