Chapter 226: That’s my wife...
In a quiet lounge elsewhere, Davis sat in his wheelchair. His expression is stoic and cool, his posture tall and proud. A small smile touched his lips as he ended the call.
For a brief moment, his usually sharp eyes showed a rare warmth—a soft look in his eyes. The serious men around the table noticed it and exchanged surprised glances.
Before the call, the room had been full of conversation. But when Davis heard the ding that told him Jessica’s phone was finally online, he had calmly paused the meeting and made the call right there in front of everyone.
He didn’t hide the conversation. He didn’t walk away. Yet, it was surprising to witness this rare side of his. Everyone of the members waited for the call to end before the meeting continued.
Answering the call before them had been a purposeful act. He wanted them to see it. He wanted them to take note of this new identity of his which they never knew—he is married and nothing would change this fact in this lifetime.
He wanted them to see that Jessica wasn’t just some woman he hid away in a hotel room. She was the reason he had come back after everything went wrong.
She had helped him through the darkest times of his life. She gave him strength when he had none left. She was calm when everything else was chaos.
She was the reason he could sit here today, in a wheelchair, and still lead like a true boss.
While the world talked about how far he had fallen, she had been right there, helping him stay strong. Because of her, he had the courage to rebuild his company and dream again—not just to get back what he lost but to go even further than before.
