CEO's Ex-wife Stunned the World

Chapter 106 A Cross-Country Meeting

Five minutes later.

Julianna was about to run out of air. Only then did Edwin reluctantly let go of her.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had suffered too much yesterday and he couldn’t bear to hurt her, he

really wouldn’t have been able to control himself.

Julianna felt weak all over, and she fell weakly onto the chair. She looked at Edwin with fear.

“Edwin, don’t touch me again…”

She was really afraid of Edwin.

He was overbearing and strong, and he always forced her to yield. Perhaps some women liked the

feeling of being conquered.

However, Julianna really couldn’t bear it.

Edwin looked at Julianna’s eyes which became misty out of fear. She was like a frightened deer. She

was so beautiful and Edwin couldn’t take his eyes away.

Edwin’s heart tightened, and he hugged her gently. “Be obedient, and don’t think too much about it. Don’t

even think about dating other men.”

Julianna’s heart skipped a beat.

“Did you hear that?” Edwin lifted her chin and stared into her eyes.

Julianna blinked and avoided his gaze. “Edwin, I beg you not to force me again

Edwin raised her chin and said in a heavy tone, “If you are not obedient, I will be angry.

“From today onwards, you are not allowed to date other men. If I find out, you will know the

consequences.”

Julianna frowned weakly

Edwin was so overbearing. Julianna thought she really had to think of a way to avoid him.

“Give me a response.”

“Got it,” Julianna replied helplessly, her jaw hurting from the pinch.

Edwin smiled in satisfaction when he heard her answer. He pecked her on her forehead and then kissed

her lips.

“Then I’m leaving. I’ll come back to see you tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Julianna said perfunctorily. She couldn’t wait to see him leave.

“Give your husband a goodbye kiss..”

Julianna really couldn’t take it anymore.

She tried her best to break free from his arms.

“Edwin, that’s enough.”

Edwin faintly curved his lips and said with a half-smile, “You’re not obedient again, are you?”

Julianna’s heart trembled. She took a deep breath and gently kissed him on the cheek. However, the kiss

was very light, as if a feather had stroked his face.

Edwin smiled. No matter what, Julianna had already begun to give in “That’s good. If you are

obedient, your husband will love you more.”

When Julianna heard this, she swallowed and did not want to say anything more to him.

“I’m leaving.” After saying that, Edwin stood up and left.

After all, there was a lot of work waiting for him to handle in his company. It was impossible for him

to stay in the Reece Group all day.

After Edwin left

Coco knocked on the door before coming in. She looked at Julianna with a lingering fear and asked, “Ms.

Reece, are you alright? Mr. Keaton didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?”

“I’m okay.” Julianna breathed a sigh of relief and rested her hand on her desk, holding her forehead

in frustration.

Things couldn’t go on like this.

If she wanted to draw a clear line with Edwin, she would have to stay away from him.

“Coco, have you found any suitable place for the factory in South Carolina?”

“I have been working on it for the past two days. There are two places, but the rent is a little high.”

Julianna sighed, “The company wants to expand its business. Now South Carolina is developing very

quickly. We have to seize the opportunity to open a branch in South Carolina.

“Anyway, the rent in Philadelphia is too high, and the cost of labor is also high. It is not impossible

to move the factory to South Carolina.

“Get ready. Tomorrow, follow me to South Carolina for a business trip.”

“Okay, Ms. Reece.”

Julianna made up her mind to get rid of Edwin, so she could only leave Philadelphia.

Now, taking advantage of the expansion of the Reece Group, she was ready to target South Carolina.

After all, the rapid development of Philadelphia was reaching a bottleneck.

If she wanted the businesses to rebound, she could only find new opportunities for development.

South Carolina and Philadelphia were separated by sea, and the former was an economic zone. It

was a good choice to build a factory there.

After that, Coco walked out.

Julianna did not dare to delay any longer. She hurriedly turned on the computer and prepared to

deal with the work at hand.

She had to make the best use of her time to arrange the work at hand. Tomorrow and the day after

tomorrow, she had to go to South Carolina to investigate.

In the Reece’s house

Shayla was still knocking on Katelyn’s door. “Kate, hurry up and come out. Edwin really asked you

out for dinner…”

“Mom, can you stop bothering me?”

Katelyn’s phone rang

Katelyn picked up her phone and took a look. It was from Edwin!

“Mom, don’t be so noisy. Edwin is calling.” Katelyn was delighted and jumped out of bed to open the

door “Mom, don’t make a noise.”

When Shayla heard this, she immediately shut her mouth with a face full of anticipation.

Katelyn closed the door and answered the phone, “Hello, Edwin. You finally called me!”

“Kate, are you free tonight?” Edwin’s cold voice came from the other side of the line

“Yes, I’m free ”

“I’ll pick you up tonight. Let’s have a meal together,”

When Katelyn heard this, she tried her best to suppress the ecstasy in her heart and softly said, “Okay,

Edwin.”

“Then you get ready. I will pick you up at eight o’clock in the evening.”

“Okay.”

Edwin hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

After hanging up the phone, Katelyn still felt a little flattered.

Edwin had not taken the initiative to call her for a long time, but tonight, he actually invited her to

dinner.

After the call ended, Shayla impatiently asked, “Kate, what did Edwin say?”

“Mom, Edwin just called me and told me we would have dinner together.”

Hearing that, Shayla grinned. “I already told you so, but you didn’t believe it. Hurry up and get

dressed.”

“Okay.” Katelyn cheered up and quickly got up to freshen up and put on makeup.

Eight o’clock in the evening.

Edwin’s car stopped in front of the Reece’s house on time.

“Edwin, where are we going to have dinner today?” Katelyn was dressed in a beautiful outfit. She looked

exquisite. She had even redone her nails.

“Well, why don’t we go to House of Cuisines like last time?”

“Alright,” Katelyn smiled.

Edwin immediately started the car.

“Edwin, how come you have time to have dinner with me today?”

Edwin was driving the car. He looked like a sculpture from the side. His side face looked perfect yet.

extremely cold. “Well, I have something to tell you,” he said.

Katelyn’s heart skipped a beat. “What is it?” she asked cautiously.

“Let’s talk about it when we have dinner.”

“Okay.” Katelyn’s eyes dimmed, and she felt uneasy.

Edwin no longer spoke and just silently drove the car.

Half an hour later.

The car stopped at the door of the House of Cuisines.

“Let’s go inside.”

“Okay.”

Edwin got out of the car alone. In the past, he always opened the door for Katelyn like a gentleman.

Today, after he got out of the car, he walked directly to the restaurant. He walked very fast.

Katelyn hurriedly got out of the car and followed Edwin.

The two of them entered the restaurant.

Edwin had already reserved a table. It was still the same table next to the window last time.

“What do you want to eat?”

“A steak and mushroom soup.”

“Okay.”

“The same, please.”

“Alright, please wait a moment.” The manager personally came forward to serve them.

After a while, the steak was served.

While they were waiting for the meal, Edwin did not say a word. Twenty minutes had passed, and the

atmosphere was very dull and awkward.

Katelyn finally couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Edwin, you just said you have something to tell me.

What is it?”

Edwin cut the steak and raised his eyelids.

Katelyn looked at him expectantly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with endless tenderness

Edwin’s gaze shifted again, and he glanced at the deep cut on her wrist. He chewed the steak and

hesitated

If he told her he would break up with her now, she would want to commit suicide again.

“It’s about the wedding.”

“Is there anything wrong with the wedding?”

Edwin paused for a few seconds. “I’m a little busy this year. The wedding might have to be

postponed to next year.”

When Katelyn heard this, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

They had originally agreed to get married in October, but now it was suddenly delayed to next year.

She knew that he did not want to get married and was looking for excuses to postpone it.

“Edwin, we can delay the wedding until next year, but I think we can also get the marriage

certificates first…”

poor Without waiting for her to finish, Edwin directly interrupted her and said, “No, Grandma is in health.

We have to wait for her to get better before we hold the wedding. Let’s wait until next year.”

When Katelyn heard this, she was even more stunned. Her hands that held the knife and fork

paused.

From Edwin’s tone, she was afraid that he would not marry her even the next year.

However, she didn’t know how to refute it. Fortunately, Edwin didn’t mention the matter of breaking up,

which still made her feel a little relieved.

A while later.

Katelyn broke the silence and asked softly, “Edwin, is it because of Julianna?”

Edwin narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Katelyn coldly. “It has nothing

to do with Julianna.

“I don’t want anyone to ask about what happened between me and Julianna, including you.”

When Katelyn heard this, she felt as if she had been stabbed by a knife in her heart. She felt cold and

painful, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Even though she had too many things to complain about in her heart, she did not dare to say anything

more.

Ever since Edwin knew that Katelyn had lied to him, she had been extremely careful in front of him.

She was no longer the apple of the eye in his heart.

While Katelyn was silent, Edwin had already finished eating the steak.

“Are you full?”

Katelyn was no longer in the mood to eat. She mumbled, “Yes, I’m full.”

“Then let’s go,” Edwin said, standing up impatiently.

Katelyn stared blankly at Edwin. “Edwin, where are we going next?

“It’s still early. Why don’t we go watch a movie?”

“I still have a meeting tonight. I’ll send you back first.”

When Katelyn heard this, she was even more upset.

For the dinner, she spent the whole afternoon dressing herself up. The dating lasted less than an hour,

and he was so desperate to send her back.

“Edwin, it’s still early. I don’t want to go back. Can you stay with me for a while longer?” Katelyn said

softly, with a hint of pleading.

Edwin frowned, but still refused. “Let’s make it another day. There will be a cross-country meeting

tonight.”
