The CEO's Contractual Wife
Chapter 142
When the song ended, Alexander led me back toward our table, but we were intercepted by a distinguished–looking woman with silver hair.
“Dr. Porter,” Alexander greeted her warmly. “I’d like you to meet my wife, Olivia. Olivia, this is Dr. Emily Porter, head of the Children’s Hospital Foundation.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” I said, shaking her hand.
“The pleasure is mine,” Dr. Porter replied. “Alexander has been one of our most generous supporters. The Carter Wing has helped thousands of children.”
“The Carter Wing?” I looked at Alexander questioningly.
Dr. Porter seemed surprised. “The pediatric research center. Alexander funded it three years ago. Surely he told you?”
Alexander looked almost embarrassed. “It never came up.”
“Well, he’s too modest,” Dr. Porter continued. “The center focuses on rare childhood diseases, many of which were considered untreatable before our
research.”
I felt a surge of admiration for Alexander. “That’s incredible work.”
“We couldn’t do it without supporters like your husband,” Dr. Porter said. “Perhaps you’d like to tour the facility sometime? See the impact firsthand?”
“I’d love that,” I replied honestly.
After Dr. Porter moved on to greet other guests, I turned to Alexander. “You never mentioned funding a pediatric research center.”
He shrugged, looking uncomfortable with the praise. “It was a good investment.”
“In children?”
“In the future,” he corrected. “Those kids deserve a chance.”

I stood there looking at Alexander, his words echoing in my head. The simple statement that kids deserved a chance revealed a side of him I’d never expected. Not from the ruthless CEO who commanded boardrooms and made million- dollar decisions without blinking.
“What?” Alexander asked, noticing my expression.
“Nothing.” I shook my head slightly. “It’s just not what I expected you to say.”
