Goodbye Cheater Hello CEO’s Wife by Payne Walter

Chapter 30 

Clayton gently squeezed habella’s hand. He had never felt that satisfied before. He had fantasized about that scenario for many years and couldn’t believe that it had come true so quickly. 

“Clayson, the way we are right now, it’s what dating looks like, right?” Isabella walked backward, her gaze fixed on their clasped hands 

Clayton smiled and asked, “Are you happy, Mrs. Murray?” 

Tabella oled. 

“Then it is” Clayton replied. 

Isabella inquired. “Clayton, what do you want me to do for you!” 

Zachary had outlined numerous expectations for her as his girlfriend, specifying what she could and couldn’t do. There were many rules to follow. 

“Do things for me?” asked 

Clayton 

“Yeah” Isabella nodded solemnly. She decided to give it a shot with Clayton. Since he liked her, she figured she’d become someone he’d enjoy being with His kindness toward her was evident. Even if it were to express gratitude, Isabella was determined to become the person he liked 

Clayton stopped and stroked her head. “Little girl, I just want you to be happy. His eyes held a clear reflection of Isabella’s form, revealing his affection and indulgence 

“Why are you so nice to me?” Tears shimmered in Isabella’s eyes 

|| Clayton couldn’t resist lightly pecking her red lips. “Because you’re my dear wife“ 

Poor girl. She can’t even believe it when someone treats her well. She has retreated into a shell and hid her true self securely, Clayton mused. 

He held Isabella’s hand and said slowly, “Mrs. Murray, you’re married now. You have your own home, and you’re the lady of the house. Do whatever you want. Don’t be afraid. With me around, you can relax! I hope you’ll be happy every day, okay?” 

Tears welled up in Isabella’s eyes. He would never know how much she wished for a home of her own, a safe space free from prying eyes and mistreatment. Her tears fell on Clayton’s hand as she whispered, “Thank you, Clayton” 

“Why are 

you crying 

ring again?” Clayton compassionately lifted Isabella’s face and gently wiped away the tears. He added, “Be happy, my dear wife” 

Isabella pursed her lips slightly and nodded against his hand. Her tearful demeanor made Clayton’s heart flutter, and he kissed her lips with overwhelming tenderness. 

This time, Isabella closed her eyes, meekly allowing him to take the lead. 

The sweet taste left Clayton unable to resist. It was the first jime Isabella had accepted his kiss. 

The love in the air wafted through the quiet, empty street, 

She had squandered love. Moving forward, she vowed to protect herself, steering clear of love and its pain. The man before me treats me well. Maybe I should cater to his likes as a way of saying thanks, Isabella thought 

Suddenly, her phone rang, its gentle melody echoing her docile nature 

Isabella struggled out of Clayton’s embrace. “M–My phone,” she said. 

Clayton refused to back off and kept moving closer 

Isabella pushed him away, blushing. That’s enough. Let’s wait until we get home and_” 

Clayton chuckled. “Mrs. Murray, you must keep your word. Let’s go 

o home now. 

“I need to take this call. Hello Gwen? tubella answered the phone while pushing Clayton with one hand. 

Clayton smiled, gently caressing her flushed Exce 

“Okay, I’ll pick you up. Wait for me: Isabella hung up. 

“I have to pick up a friend. She’s drunk, so I’ll need to send her home. Clayton, you go ahead and head home. I’ll be with her tonight.” After saying that she turned to leave. 

Clayton grabbed her and frowned. “Your friend is drunk?” 

Chapter 30 

Tabella nodded. “Yeah, her new film wrapped up today. The film crew is having a get–together, and she’s had a bit too much, to drink. So, she wants me to pick her up. She lowered her gaze, adding. Tim supposed to stay at her place tonight” Initially, Isabella wanted to escape. 

“Do you know the address” asked Clayton 

Tabella nodded. “New World Hotel 

“Okay, we’re almost home. We’ll take the car and pick her up” As he spoke, Clayton guided her toward Cityview Manor 

“You’re coming with me!” Isabella asked with surprise. 

course. It’s too dangerous for you, a woman, to pick up a drunken lady alone, Clayton replied, leaving no room for refusal 

Once he parked, Isabella hastily opened the car door and rushed out before he could stop her. 

Looking at her retreating figure, Clayton couldn’t help but sigh. She was accustomed to doing everything alour and not used to relying on others 

Isabella pulled Gwendolyn out of the lively crowd. The latter’s assistant. Tiana, followed and commented, “Isabella, Steven is out of town, working on a construct deal. 

Steven Barnes was Cicendolyn’s manager. 

Tabella nost 

nodded and replied, “I take Gwen home. You continue to enjoy yourself” 

Thank you 

à, Isabella,” 

1. Tiana amwered with a smile. 

Supporting the unsteady Gwendolyn, habella walked out. Tins then handed Gwendolyn’s bag to Isabella. 

Gwendolyn held onto Isabella, moving forward with the latter. “Isabella, it’s been three months, and you seem even more beautiful.” 

Isabella focused on helping Gwendolyn walk. “Take it slow. Be careful,” 

I’m fine. I haven’t had too much to drink Gwendolyn chuckled. 

As they reached the lobby, Isabella xaw Clayton waiting there. 

“She had a bit too much to drink,” Labella muttered. She didn’t know if Clayton work mind them taking has car. In pist a few days, she realized that he was particular about cleanliness. All of his vehicles were spotless 

Clayton frowned as he looked at the drunken Gwendolyn, whom Isabella supported. Her weighs made it challenging for the petite Isabella. However, he didn’t want to touch Gwendolyn. At that moment, he regretted not bringing a driver. 

Sensing Clayton’s displeasure, Isabella, supporting Gwendolyn, had alreally reached the doorway. She glanced at his car parked at the entrance and remarked, “111 take a taxi with her.” 

But Clayton had already opened the car door. 

Gwendolyn stared at Clayton and giggled as she said, “Isabella, the driver you found is so handsome! I’m drooling!” 

Isabella really wanted to pinch her. 

“Hey, handsome! How about I recommend you for a movie role?” Gwendolyn extended her hand toward Clayton’s face. 

He stepped back with a darkened expression 

Isabella guessed that he probably didn’t like women who drank. While contemplating whether to take a taxi with Gwendolyn or not, Clayton suddenly reached out, pushed Gwendolyn into the car, and slammed the door shut. After that, he opened the passenger door, gesturing for tabella 

to enter. 

1–I sit in the back and take care of her,” Tabella stammered 

Clayton tilted his head at her and signaled for her to get in the car again, 

Isabella had no choice but to get in the car. She looked at Gwendolyn in the back seat worriedly. The latter was mumbling and laughing. 

Clayton took out a tissue to wipe his hands. Then, he reached over to fasten Isabella’s seatbelt. 

Isabella looked at Gwendolyn worriedly and said to Clayton without looking back. “Gwen lives in Fields Residence. Do you know the way!” 

“Isabella, I need water” Gwendolyn snorted and sat up… 

“Okay.” Isabella looked everywhere for water.

Chapter 30 

Clayton pressed a button, opened the armrest storage, and Isabella grabbed a bottle of water before handing it to Gwendolym. 

Gwendolyn carelessly twisted open the cap and drank, spilling water everywhere. 

Tabella, did you miss me? Gwendolyn laughed and pinched Isabella’s face. 

The latter smiled and patted her hand. 

“Did anyone bully you when I was not around? Huh? For the next six months, Ill be filming in the city. If anyone bullies you, Tll get back at them for your Gwendolyn touched Isabella’s face again. You lost weight while I was away! How have you been taking care of yourself? Are you not eating well again?” Gwendolyn leaned in and planted a kiss on Isabella’s face. 

Isabella laughed out lood. She wiped her face while pushing Gwendolyn back to sit down. “Sit still, and don’t move!” 

Gwendolyn giggled and continued, “When will you grow up? You always look like an inexperienced newbie. What should I do. Isabella? I’ve fallen in love with you.” 

She pretended to kiss Isabella again. The latter laughed and pushed her away, saying. “That’s enough. Sit still” 

With her long, messy hair and flushed face, Gwendolyn seemed to have had too much to drink. She raised her hands and responded. “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Isabella. I’ll only do what you say! I’ll sit tight and behave. Isabella, I’m going to rest for a while, okay!” 

With that, she lay on the back s 

seat and curled up her legs. 

Isabella sighed and mused, ‘Finally, I’m getting some peace. 

She turned around, sat properly, and noticed Clayton’s expressionless face as he focused on driving. 

Under the streetlights, she suddenly saw a road sign and exclaimed, “Clayton, it seems we’ve taken the wrong route Isn’t this the way to Cityview Manor: 

“Yeah,” Clayton replied indifferently. 

Isabella was annoyed. “Gwen’s home is in Fields Residence. Did I forget to mention her address? Why didn’t you ask me?” she questioned. 

Clayton glanced at her. There are maids at home to take care of her 

habella didn’t immediately grasp his meaning, and the car had already stopped in front of the house 

Zaylee came out with two maids. 

Clayton exited the car and instructed Zayler, “Get the lady in the backseat down and let her stay in the guest room on the second floor. Tell Luke to wash my car tomorrow,” 

Zaylee hurriedly nodded. When she opened the car door, Gwendolyn was already sound adeep. 

Isabella stepped forward to help but was pulled back by Clayton. There are three of them. Who among them isn’t stronger than you?” 

He was right. Isabella watched as the three masds lifted Gwendolyn out of the car. With a maid on each side, they headed toward the house. 

Isabella 

a quickly followed. “Let me help shower her 

Zaylee turned around and said with a smile, “Go and rest, Mrs. Murray, Leave her to me. I’ll have someone prepare a hangover remedy for her later. Otherwise, she’ll wake up with a headache tomorrow. 

Zaylee was thoughtful. Isabella sincerely said, “Thank you Zaylee. 

With a kind smile, Zaylee hurried off to attend to her tasks. Zaylee was fond of Isabella. She thought the latter was polite and obedient, Isabella’s groggy demeanor seemed adorable, too. It was evident to Zaylee that Clayton liked babella a lot. The former had watched him grow up, and throughout that time, he rarely smiled. 

Standing together, Clayton and Isabella exuded an indescribable compatibility. 

Benny had always been worried about Clayton, afraid that the latter would never get married in his lifetime. At present, Benny could finally rest assured 

This girl is so much better than the daughter of the Vaughn family, Zaylee thought. Initially, she was worried that if Clayton married the daughter of the Vaughn family, the family might end up like the one at the Murray manor. Fortunately, Isabells appeared. It seemed that good things never 

come too late. 

Clayton bent down to sniff himself and then Isabella. “Go take a shower!” he instructed with a frown. 

Isabella stepped back, but Clayton pulled her into his arms, not allowing her to escape.
