Chapter 318

작가: Tangy Candy
At the time, Winnie had felt utterly defeated. Veronica's words had come true once again: everyone who got involved with her ended badly.

Later, Oscar even came to the house demanding an explanation. Perhaps Michael leaving her was the best thing for him. So she had agreed to Oscar's request—not to bother Michael again.

But she could never bring herself to say this to Michael. She was proud and didn't want him to pity her.

"Grabbed the wrong person? You think I'd believe that excuse?" Michael

  • Billionaire's Match   Chapter 715

    Angela watched Barney, lost in thought.When she finally came back to herself, she realized he had already placed her safely on the edge of the bed. Barney bent down, pressing two gentle kisses to her forehead, smiling at her with that familiar warmth. Then, as if remembering something, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a few tickets."The country's hottest theme park just opened. I managed to snag priority experience tickets for Pete. You can take a day off anytime and bring him along with his grandparents."He placed the tickets on the bedside table. The soft amber light fell across his arm, catching Angela's gaze. She froze for a moment, startled.Though Barney had often said he wanted to build a real life with her and treat Pete as his own child once they were together, Angela had never truly believed it. To focus on getting closer to Barney, she hadn't visited Pete in weeks.Seeing Barney take the initiative to think of her son made her chest tighten, almost to the

    Angela shifted upright beside Barney, turning her head as she spoke, her tone growing more earnest with each word.Warmth surged through Barney at the sound of "the one I love." Her gaze was sincere, not a hint of pretense. Over these past weeks, she had been attentive, gentle, and obedient—but no amount of deliberate sweetness compared to the raw honesty in her current jealousy. It struck him deeper than any words could."Never," Barney murmured, wrapping his arms around her from behind. He pressed a gentle, low laugh against her ear. "If my sister doesn't like you, I'll find a way to make her."Angela's eyes widened slightly. "And if nothing works, and she has to choose between us?""I'd choose my sister."Shock froze her for a moment. She had expected a flirtatious response, maybe some tender words—but this? He was speaking the truth? Her gaze turned to him, incredulous.Barney caught her expression and couldn't help but snort softly, a laugh escaping him."Fool," he said,

    Barney couldn't suppress the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. Moved, he drew Angela into his arms, holding her close.Angela's voice was soft but warm. "Congratulations. Soon, your family will be whole again."Barney let out a quiet sigh. "It will also fulfill my mother's last wish… to give her peace in the afterlife."He recalled being eight years old, when his parents' marriage was falling apart. His mother had left for a long time during the divorce dispute. Later, his father had been surrounded by several other women. Once, his mother came home drunk and argued with his father. Barney had overheard it all.She admitted she had been with other men and had even had a child with one of them. Enraged, his father had fought her, and from that point, they lived apart. Although his mother never formally divorced his father, she never forgave him until her death.As a child, Barney had thought all of his mother's actions were merely to spite his father. It wasn't until aft

    "I'm not overexerting myself. I truly cherish the present—every day with you makes me feel so happy."Angela spoke softly, resting her head gently against Barney's shoulder."I'm glad you've recovered so quickly," Barney said warmly, his gaze full of patience and understanding. "But you don't have to push yourself."He knew perfectly well that Angela had loved Trey deeply and couldn't possibly have shifted her affections to him in such a short time. The more she made an effort to be close to him, the more he felt she was doing it out of gratitude rather than love.Angela shook her head. "I'm not pushing myself."Seeing that Barney didn't entirely believe her, she didn't insist on explaining, and instead quickly changed the subject."Enough about that. Tell me about your sister—any new leads?"Thinking about his sister brought a genuine smile to Barney's face. He squeezed Angela's hand tightly. "I now know she's still in Goldmont City, and that when she was little, she attended a

    When she called, Barney didn't pick up. Angela assumed he had already gone to bed.The butler replied promptly, "Miss Thompson, Mr. Lemont is still in the study, seeing a guest.""A guest? This late? Who could it be?" Angela asked as she headed back to her room to change.The butler held her things and answered, "A private investigator."Angela's eyes darkened. "About his sister?"The butler nodded.She casually asked about any progress, but the butler admitted he didn't know. Barney had been searching for his sister for many years, though recently the frequency of contacts had clearly increased—there seemed to be a lead.Since returning to Jayelle City, Angela had thrown herself into her work, determined to prove her capabilities again. But the damage Khloe and Trey had caused her was unforgettable.Still, a gentleman's revenge is never too late. Once her wings were fully grown, when she returned to Goldmont City, she would take back everything Khloe had stolen—and then some.

    Winnie didn't look at him. "You've become improper—slick-tongued and always grinning."Michael answered seriously, "You don't like it?"Winnie said nothing and quietly picked at her food.Michael continued, "I wasn't really that proper before, either. I just didn't have anything to be happy about, so there was no reason to joke around with anyone."But now it's different. I have someone I like, and I know she likes me too. Of course, I want to talk to her about everything and do everything with her."As she kept eating, Winnie suddenly started to smile.Even with her head lowered, Michael could see the happiness she couldn't hide."Does hearing me talk really make you that happy?"Seeing that she was focused only on eating, Michael quickly put a piece of meat onto her plate and leaned in close, lowering his voice."Marrying me isn't so bad, is it?"Winnie paused, shoved the meat into her mouth, and chewed for a long while before finally lifting her head to look at him.The s
