Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 226 — She Smiles When You Look at Her… But When You Don’t, She’s Different.
ALEXANDER'S POVThe soft echo of Katherine’s footsteps faded up the stairs, but the hollow ache in my chest stayed behind like a bruise that refused to heal.She didn’t look at me.Didn’t answer me.Didn’t even pause long enough for me to reach out and stop her.She just… walked away.Part of me wanted to chase after her, pull her into my arms, and force the words out of both of us until things were okay again. But another part, the part that knew how fragile she was right now, knew better.She needed space.And if space was the only thing I could give her without breaking her further… then I would give it. Even if it hurts.A small tug on my sleeve pulled me back to reality.“Daddy?”Franklin stood beside me, backpack still on, his eyes darting between the staircase and the front door where the stranger had just left.I forced myself to breathe. “Yeah, bud?”“Why was Mommy talking to that man?”I crouched a little to meet his eye level. Though I acted like I had no idea who came, I
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 225 — Children Can Sense Things Adults Ignore.
KATHERINE’S POVThe knock came again, firmer this time, less like a request and more like a summons.My pulse stuttered.For a moment I just sat there, staring at the door, hoping it would disappear. I wasn’t ready for visitors, especially not ones who have absolutely no idea how much of a mess I was in right now.Since meeting with Alex's father, I've been in and out of a battle with myself, regretting my choice to come back and fight for what belongs to me.Especially since he refused to be a witness for me in court and prove that the will is truly original.I was still contemplating leaving the person hanging and not going out when the third knock snapped me out of my daze.“I’m coming…” I said under my breath, though I wasn’t sure I was.I pushed myself off the couch, every muscle stiff. When I opened the door, I found a man standing there, mid-fifties, a little grayer around the edges than the last time I saw him, but unmistakably familiar.David Hass.My mother’s former lawyer.
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 224 — Because You Make Me Nervous.
AUTHOR'S POV Hazel spent the entire ride to the restaurant convincing herself she was not nervous.She had faced board directors who were twice her age and five times more arrogant.She’d stared down rival lawyers without blinking.She had once, no, more than once, told off famous Alexander Blake to his face.Heck, she was considered bold and had never once faltered in front of any men she'd once dated or gone on a blind date with.But this?A date with Henry?Her palms were sweating.By the time she reached the small rooftop restaurant he picked, she had already reapplied lipstick twice, fixed her hair three times, and practiced looking “cool and unbothered” in the elevator mirror.It didn’t work.Nothing could’ve prepared her for the sight of him.Henry stood by one of the corner tables, city lights behind him, sleeves rolled to his elbows. He looked strangely nervous too, straightening the cutlery, adjusting the chair height, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.When he fi
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 223 — The Will Knows What I Don’t!
KATHERINE’S POV The moment the door closed behind Alex and Astra, something inside me shut down too.Not out of anger.Just exhaustion.I didn’t have the strength to process anything, not Astra’s sudden appearance, not Alex’s panic, not the heavy sadness in his voice when he tried to speak to me. And certainly not the way he looked like the world was ending when Astra whispered I’m pregnant.But Astra had already pulled me aside earlier.Already told me quietly, almost frantically:“It’s not his. I swear it’s not Alex’s baby. Please don’t think that. I just… needed to tell him before someone else did.”And for reasons I didn’t even understand, I believed her.Astra lies to the world, yes, but when she’s scared, her eyes give everything away.So no , I wasn’t worried about the baby.Or about her and Alex.That chapter between them was dead long ago and since she said it herself that she was three months gone, it was almost impossible to think that Alex was the father Three months ago
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 222 — Is It Mine, Astra?
ALEXANDER'S POVFor a second, I genuinely thought I misheard her.The room went silent, so silent I could hear the drip from Katherine’s IV bag and the pounding of my own heartbeat. Astra’s words replayed in my head like a warped echo I couldn’t fully grasp.I’m pregnant, Alex.No.No, that wasn’t possible. It couldn’t be possible.My mouth opened, but nothing came out except the sound of me losing the last shred of the sanity I’d been clinging to.“You… what?”It came out hoarse. Almost broken.Astra swallowed hard and lowered her gaze, her fingers nervously twisting the strap of her purse. The confident, flirtatious Astra I once knew was nowhere in sight. She looked small. Fragile.“I’m pregnant,” she repeated quietly. My vision blurred for a moment. I didn’t know if it was shock, leftover alcohol in my system, or the sheer pressure of everything collapsing at once but the walls felt like they were closing in.I took a step back.Then another.No way…It couldn't… it couldn't possi
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 221 — Just Come. She Needs You.
ALEXANDER'S POV Katherine wasn't at home when I finally dragged my half drunk self into the house and my heart skipped a bit when I also didn't see Franklin. No way... She couldn't have packed up and left, could she? Just because she found out that I kept something a secret from her. I ignored the throbbing headache in my head and the woozy feeling I had as I tried to grab onto the stair rails next to me. She can't… Kathie… Katherine can't do this to me. I was almost at the head of the stairs when Beth walked out of my room, she almost jumped in fear when she saw me and I found it strange that she looked so startled to see me. Or was she scared that I might accuse her of doing something in my bedroom?? “Mr Blake… I…” “It's okay, Beth. Where …. where's Katherine?” I struggled to stand straight and my lips felt too heavy to move. Gosh.. I shouldn't have drank this much. But then again, I had no other choice. I was stuck between being mad at my father and also trying to un
