The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

Hearing that, John becomes furious. He dislikes Rory to say a good word for Anson.

"Rory, are you enchanted by Miya? How can you be on her side? I'm telling you that, no matter what happens, I won't save her." Even John himself doesn't know why he hates Miya so much.

However, John's words get Anson desperate. He can't stand that Miya will die. It seems that he then is anxious and desperate enough to kill John.

"John, you'll pay for what you've said. If Miya dies because you don't save her, then I will seek revenge on you definitely." Anson's dark eyes are about to emit the flame of hatred, which scares Rory who is standing not afar. Rory feels that the two men get angry because of the same woman.

In the end, Anson snorts angrily and leaves.

John is a bit unhappy. Why does he suffer such tribulations?

Seeing Anson leave, Rory can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But soon, John's behavior worries Rory. She has never seen John rages like that before. John keeps gentle and docile, like a sheep. Besides, he cares for her all the time. But today, Rory realizes that John can also be fussy and fierce.

Seeing Rory who is still in a daze, John puts himself together.

"How is it? Are you OK?" John walks up to Rory and asks with concern. Then he begins to check to see if something is wrong with Rory. However, Rory looks at him with her eyes filled with confusion. John gets unaccustomed to Rory's gaze. "Why are you looking at with such eyes all of a sudden?"

"I feel like you've changed totally today."

Indeed, John's sudden change scares her a little. Then John reveals an amiable smile and pets her, "Silly girl, don't you overthink this?"

'I hope so.' Rory says to herself.

"I have a question." Then Rory speaks with her tone full of caution. She does afraid that John will be angry at her for her question. The scene John gets angry is too terrifying.

Though they stay together every day now, Rory has to admit that there is a long distance between her heart and that of John. And she never knows what is in John's mind.

Originally, Rory wants John to be with her, but she realizes today that something is wrong with John. John seems to change another person since Miya appears. And Miya can affect John emotionally. In other words, only when Miya appears will John be "alive" and have a soul. Before, though John keeps docile, he has no sorrow or happiness. Probably, John himself doesn't even know about this.

"Dear Rory, you can ask any question. Don't beat around the bush with me." John sees Rory hesitating. He doesn't want to see her in a dilemma. But he couldn't help but expose her.

"I don't know why you don't want to save that woman. Isn't it an easy thing?" Rory can't understand why he resists so much. What is the reason behind this?

Rory doesn't expect John's big smile on his face to die immediately after she utters such words. John's face turns gloomy instantly, which is scary.

Then Rory's heart beats wildly. She gets nervous for her words provoke John.

"Why are you asking such a question again?" John frowns. He doesn't answer Rory but asks her.

"I just want to know, and I think that woman is pitiful." Rory looks at John with her eyes filled with tension. Only when the anger in John's eyes disappears does Rory become relaxed. "You want me to save that woman since you ask that question? OK, give me a reason. Then I'll agree to save her."

John treats Miya differently from Rory. He has indescribable gratitude towards her and wants to take good care of her. However, John doesn't know that he only treats Rory as his sister in his heart. "Deal. As long as I give you a rational reason, you have to save her." Immediately, Rory's eyes shine with delight, as if she has a good reason to persuade John.

John gets gratified when he sees Rory cheers up.

"Ok, you promise me. You have to save her, and I'll give you the reason," says Rory excitedly. But John merely looks at her in silence.

"John, go save her. Just do that for me." Rory grabs his arm and pleads him in a soft voice. Then she pouts her lips and becomes coquettish.

John can't do anything but yield to Rory's coquetry.

Finally, John can't resist that and agree with Rory to save Miya.

"Actually, I hold no sway over you. OK, I promise you." John isn't feeling uncomfortable when he promises to save Miya. After all, he is coerced morally by the girl in front. Then he has no choice but to agree with Rory. However, an impulse to save Miya arises from his heart when he makes such a promise to Rory. That is out of his expectation.

Does that mean that he cares about that woman? How is that possible? Doesn't he ever want to be in contact with Miya?☐☐☐☐☐
