OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 188 – Do you still not get it?

"Will you agree if I still want the divorce?" Joanna asked seriously in response to his question, but she was testing him.

Life with Alex had been a rollercoaster, but she could tell with all seriousness that she enjoyed every moment with him, good or bad.

How they stood for each other, and even their faked kisses felt real until she asked him to make love to her, which she thought would give her a child to remember him by.

However, Alex was saddened. As much as he loved and did not want the divorce anymore, especially after knowing she had been the one he kept looking for all this while, if she didn’t love him anymore, then how could he force her to stay? He nodded.

"At this point, I can’t force you to stay, but you just have to promise to keep everything I have told you a secret."

Things about Salvatore’s men were confidential, and showing her, he didn’t want the world to know, or his enemies would rather see it as a weakness.

The reason he was feared was that he was ruthless, and that was enough to stop some people from coming against him, but if this information goes out, then they would know about his softness, and who knows, this orphanage might just be another target.

Joanna was saddened by his response about how willing he was to let her go when she had decided to stay and asked, "and what about our baby?" Was he ready to part with the growing life inside her too?

Bitterness caused Alex to grit his teeth, but he relaxed and embraced her from the back as they stood on the balcony of their room at the orphanage, gazing at the ambiance.

Joanna wanted to have the image of it imprinted on her mind, as she had the intention of coming back again someday.

Being with Alex alone was amazing, but add these kids, and you are rendered speechless in a good way.

"Joan, do you want a broken home for our baby?" Alex’s fingers caressed her still flat stomach as he spoke.

If they felt nothing for each other, then single parenting would be the best, but in this case, Alex loved the woman in his arms, not wanting to let her go.

"Both of us fighting for custody?" He asked, completing the matter. "I don’t want a divorce, but neither can I force you to love me."

Joanna turned to face him, their gazes boring into each other. She understood that Alex took her question to mean she didn’t love him enough to stay, and that was not it, so she decided to be honest.

"Alex, I love you, and I don’t want a divorce. Will you forgive me for doubting you?" Tears clouded her eyes, and Alex was beyond excited as he lifted her by the hips, her legs wrapping around him.

He thought he was going to lose her, not expecting things to turn out this way.

Love could not be forced, so he would have let them go, and since they had a bond of a child between them, he was certain to have kept a healthy relationship for the sake of their unborn child, including never marrying any woman who was not her.

"Ever since we signed the marriage certificate, I feared for the day you’ll find out I’m Salvatore. This is a top secret we never share, and make the world think that this orphanage belongs to the government of the Philippines. This was my reason for not wanting to tell you and for all the lies."

He dropped her gently on the bed as Joanna cupped his face in the palm of her hands, her lips meeting his in a passionate kiss.

The two savored each other’s warmth before Alex pulled away. "You have to promise to never ask for a divorce again. We have to stand together no matter what."

He still had Logan to deal with, so how would he succeed if his wife doubted and wasn’t on his side, but Joanna scoffed, finding it hypocritical of him to talk like that.

"The last time I checked, the divorce documents were prepared and signed by you first," she pointed out, guilt shone in Alex’s eyes. "That would never happen again."

With the understanding settling in, nothing stopped Alex from making passionate love to his wife, and later that night, they set off back to New York.

"I’m going to miss Manila," Joanna cooed as she leaned against Alex’s shoulder, the latter cuddled her close to his chest and assured her,

"We can always come back whenever you want, and besides, you are ready to sponsor some kids too."

The reminder calmed Joanna. "You are right. This is going to also be my home from today onwards." As she reminisced over everything, a naughty idea popped into her mind, and she asked Alex,

"How many people have used this jet before?"

His eyes squinted, not understanding what she was driving at, but he responded truthfully. "It’s mine alone. Grandpa and Logan have theirs, and the only people I’ve had on board before are Aiden and Violet."

The answer satisfied her as she stared at the hostess who came to serve them wine and other delicacies. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Can you tell her not to come here until we are done?" She pouted, Alex was unable to wipe the confusion from his face, but he was willing to do whatever it was to make her happy.

Calling the hostess, he instructed. "Make yourself scarce until needed."

She nodded with a smile, but as she turned around, Joanna called her back. "Please take these too."

The food was untouched, and Alex was worried. "You haven’t eaten yet," he reminded her, but seeing the determination in her eyes, he added his voice.

"Do as she says."

The hostess smiled and wheeled the food cart away, as Joanna smiled seductively, turning to face Alex with her hands caressing his chest. "Do you still not get it?"

Alex got it this time, laughed and pinched her playfully on the cheek. "You naughty Angel." His lips soon followed and for the first time, he made love in his private jet to his beautiful pregnant wife, but as they were about landing, he received disturbing news from grandpa.
