I could barely move properly while trying to entertain the kids. They kept tugging at my mask and sunglasses, curious. Add to that Sebastian’s sharp glares, and it was impossible to relax.

I didn’t understand why he seemed so mad at me.

“Mrs. Whitmore, can you read this to me?” asked one of the kids. It was Jasmine. I knew her well—I was the one who found her when she was left at the orphanage’s doorstep as a three-month-old baby. Now she was five.

She was so young when the first orphanage burned down.

I looked at the storybook she was holding. It was about a princess kidnapped by a witch on her first birthday.

I hesitated to take it. I’d been trying not to speak too much—if they heard my voice, they might recognize me.

“Please, Mrs. Whitmore!” added Bea, who was eight.

I exhaled deeply. When it came to them, I just couldn’t say no.

I smiled, even though they couldn’t see it. I was about to take the storybook when someone else reached for it first.

“Let me do it for you, kids!”

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 105: Confrontation

    Eloise’s POVThe entire room was wrapped in silence. Even though I wasn’t part of their conversation, I could feel the weight of the tension in everyone’s demeanor.“Why are you so certain about what might happen to Dad, Agatta?” Sebastian asked again.Agatta’s eyes darted restlessly, and suddenly she couldn’t stay still in her seat.I couldn’t help but watch her closely.Angelo frowned at Sebastian.“I don’t like your tone, brother. It’s as if you mean something else,” Angelo said.“And you sound defensive,” Sebastian replied sharply.Angelo’s eyes narrowed. He was about to speak, but Agatta placed a hand on his arm.They exchanged silent signals, and in the end, Angelo let out a deep breath, shaking his head as he leaned back in his chair, his brow still furrowed.Agatta wiped her tears.“I have no other wish but for your father to recover, Sebastian. And I meant nothing else by what I said. We just have to be prepared for what could happen,” she explained. “Your dad’s health is dec

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 104: The Father

    Sebastian’s POVThe smile on my face never faded as we drove toward the hospital.Lucille’s visit to my office had been unexpected, but what truly stunned me was Eloise’s courage earlier. She had been ready to fight anyone who dared to take me away from her. Just the memory of it made my chest tighten in the best way.“You’re happy, huh? You think I’m still not mad?” she asked sharply.I grinned, reached for her hand, and placed my palm over hers.“I know. But yes, I’m happy.”Eloise rolled her eyes. She tried to pull her hand back, but I tightened my grip and brought it closer to my lips, kissing the back of her hand.“I can’t believe you, Sebastian,” she muttered, shaking her head.I trailed my lips along her hand—softly, slowly—until they brushed her forearm.“Hey! You’re driving!” she scolded.I chuckled and stopped, though I still didn’t let go of her hand.I was happy. Really happy. At this point in my life, all I wanted was to spend my days quietly with Eloise. To marry her aga

    Eloise’s POV“What is the meaning of this, Sebastian? Why is she here?!” I demanded.Sebastian quickly removed Lucille’s hand from his arm and stepped slightly away from her. His lips parted as if to speak, but Lucille beat him to it.“We’re going to visit Tito at the hospital,” she said confidently, her expression smug. She latched onto Sebastian’s arm again like a parasite that refused to let go.Sebastian only pressed his lips together and rubbed the back of his neck.I could feel the heat rising to my scalp, but I clenched my fists and forced myself to stay calm.“Hospital?”I turned to Sebastian. He blinked, ready to explain, but Lucille jumped in again.“Oh, you don’t know? I thought you were Sebastian’s wife. Why does it seem like you have no idea what’s happening with his family?”I ground my teeth. That was it. I shot her a glare sharp enough to cut glass.“Why don’t you shut up and let me talk to my husband instead?”Lucille blinked, clearly stunned, her mouth parting in dis

    “Eloise!”Lucy hurried to my side the moment Ophelia left. She grasped my arm and gently guided me back to the sofa.“Agnes! Get some water, quick!”I sat there in a daze, staring blankly into space. It still felt like I was in a nightmare.My life… they were trying to take it away from me again. Where on earth was I supposed to get that much money? I had some savings, but they would never reach one hundred million dollars.I exhaled heavily, my chest tight.Worst of all, there was nothing I could do—legally, I was still her child.“Here, Eloise. Have some water,” Lucy said softly.I looked at her. My hands trembled as I took the glass from her.“They’re so cruel, Lucy. I don’t even know what I did to deserve this. All I ever did was be kind to them, to acknowledge the debt of gratitude I owed for taking me in. But this… this is how they repay me?”Tears slipped down my cheeks, and I quickly wiped them away—more out of frustration than sadness.Lucy looked at me with deep sympathy. “E

    The next morning, I woke up with a smile. But when I reached out to the other side of the bed, it was empty. My brows furrowed, and my eyes snapped open.I grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around my bare body while my eyes scanned the room.He’s not here, I thought.I exhaled and lay back down. Maybe he was just really busy. Then suddenly, my phone rang. I reached for it on the bedside table to see who had messaged me.It was him.I quickly unlocked my phone and read Sebastian’s text.Sebastian: I didn’t wake you up, Sunshine. You were sleeping so soundly. I already told Brix to bring you here later in the afternoon. I love you.I couldn’t help but smile, feeling like a giddy teenager as I read his message. I never thought Sebastian could be this sweet. My stomach fluttered with butterflies when I saw he called me Sunshine.I didn’t know something so simple could make my heart race so much.I replied to him and cheerfully got up.After showering, I slipped into a simple summer dress

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 100: I'm Yours

    Eloise’ POVIt was already night when I arrived home. I had received a text from Sebastian earlier telling me to go ahead without him because he still had something to take care of. So, I asked Brix to drive me back instead.Up until now, I still don’t know what’s troubling Sebastian. He sounded anxious. But whatever it is, I wouldn’t hesitate to help him.My thoughts wandered back to everything that had happened today—Celeste’s sharp tongue, my own words finally cutting back, and the look of surprise on her face. It was a small victory, but one I would treasure.All my life, I had done nothing but follow her lead. But this time? I won’t allow it anymore.When I reached home, the place was still quiet. Lucy greeted me and invited me to eat, but I declined since I had just come from the orphanage.I went straight to my room to clean up. I prepared a hot bath to relax my tired body.The steam curled upward as I sank into the warm water, letting the heat loosen the knots in my muscles. I
