The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 58: Security Protocol

“Daddy!” Outside the Scotts’ home, Lucas ran to Evan, and his father carried him in his

arms.

“Sorry I’m late, Lucas. I got stuck with work, but I still made it,” Evan said. He looked at

his watch and confirmed he still had an hour

before dinner time. He whispered to Lucas, ” Where is your mommy?”

“Upstairs, changing,” Lucas replied. He then looked down and softly said, “I think she is going out on a date with Uncle Keith.”

Evan bit his lip. He asked, “Why do you say

that?”

“He is in the living room, waiting for Mommy. He is dressed very nicely and brought flowers and chocolates for Mommy, “Lucas weakly replied.

“I brought flowers for your mommy too. I also bought boxes of treats for everyone to

share. Andy, Mark, and I stopped by the Century Hotel before making our way here,” Evan revealed, exciting Lucas. (1)

Evan turned to the car and found Andy and Mark, the bodyguards who had picked him up from the airport. He ordered, “Bring in the flowers and gifts.”

“Yes, boss,” Mark and Andy said simultaneously.

Evan shifted his attention to Miguel, the other bodyguard, standing behind Lucas. He asked, “Where is Duane?”

“He is off today, boss,” Miguel answered.

He then gave Miguel that look, and as if they had a silent agreement, Miguel nodded.

Evan walked into the house, holding Lucas’ hand. He saw Keith, and their eyes met. The temperature inside the living room went down to near zero degrees. Keith and Evan were zapping electricity with their eyes.

Keith stood up, and he was leveled with

Evan, further increasing the tension in the

area.

Just then, Evan heard Shantelle clear her throat, and he turned toward the staircase and found himself swallowing his own spew. Immediately, he hated himself for not admiring this side of her in the past. Shantelle was so beautiful. She took his breath away, and his heart fluttered.

Shantelle was wearing an off-shoulder gown in the solid tone of Persian blue. It highly emphasized her slender neck and shoulders. The dress hugged her body tight, flaunting her long legs through a slit that went up three inches above her knee.

Her hair was tied into a neat bun. She wore dangling earrings with a sapphire blue stone and a necklace to pair. Matched with her blue eyes and confident stance, she looked like a goddess from the sky. From

excitement, Evan’s heart ached again. He wondered why he had let this woman slip through his fingers?

“Shanty, you look so beautiful in the dress I bought.” Evan snapped from his trance, hearing Keith’s words. His eyes immediately narrowed. ‘What did he say? The fucking

dress is from him?’
