‘You’ve really changed,’ Lea said, turning to look at me. ‘When you said you wanted to go on a cruise, I thought you were joking.’

‘Yet here we are.’ I stood at the railing, gazing out at the Mediterranean. September dusk had painted the sea in shifting shades of violet and gold, the horizon glowing as the sun sank lower.

Not everyone had gone to the ball. Out on deck, clusters of young passengers mingled and laughed. Some were taking selfies against the pink sky, others pointed excitedly as dolphins arced from the water. Music drifted faintly from the ballroom doors, but out here the sound was mostly laughter, the slap of waves and the click of cameras.

Lea inhaled deeply. ‘It’s beautiful. Thanks for bringing me out here.’

I said nothing.

‘We should have stayed and said hello to Mirabelle,’ she added, testing me.

‘I will,’ I said. ‘Just not now.’ I would speak to Mira once I had dealt with Lea.

The thought of Mira’s face propelled me away from the railing. ‘You need to get changed.’

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 380 Maple and Captain Crunch

    A loud cry echoed through the room.I felt my stomach loosen. Tears welled in my eyes as I looked at the tiny baby the midwife was holding up by the feet.After that first cry, the nurse laid the baby flat and carried it off to be cleaned.I opened my mouth to speak, but another wave of pain hit me.I’d almost forgotten there was another one.The second baby came even faster than the first, almost in the blink of an eye. It was carried off to be cleaned too.I was completely drained, slumped where I lay while the midwife worked.Something felt off though, as if something was missing.I pushed myself up slightly and turned my head to see.Then I realised what it was.When the babies had been born, Ashton hadn’t said a word. I saw him standing there like he was in a daze, not moving at all.‘Ash.’ My voice was so weak it was barely a whisper.His whole body jolted, and his eyes cleared.He crouched at my side and took my hand without speaking.I didn’t have the energy to talk. The deliv

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 379 Delivery

    I was frightened too.But remembering what the doctor had told me, I shook my head. ‘No. Natural birth is better for the babies.’‘That’s right,’ the midwife said reassuringly. ‘It’s better for the babies, and it helps your body recover faster too. Don’t worry, Mrs Laurent. That other case was an exception. The baby was oversized and should’ve been delivered surgically from the start, but the family refused. Since you’re having twins, both are actually smaller than the usual size. You’ll be fine.’She was an experienced woman in her forties, with a kind, calm face.Her words reassured me slightly. I nodded heavily.I could do this. I would get through it.‘No. You’re in too much pain,’ Ashton said.‘Don’t worry. I can handle it.’ The pain was still there, but the determination to bring my babies safely into the world had taken over. My eyes steadied. ‘I’ll deliver them naturally. Help me up. I need to walk.’Ashton’s expression showed he didn’t agree.The midwife spoke again. ‘A C-sec

    I pretended I hadn’t heard him. He’d said that every time I was in pain, and I knew he didn’t mean it.But this time, maybe the babies actually picked up on the threat. Because right after he said it, they suddenly went quiet.‘Huh?’ I was bracing myself for another wave, but the pain just... stopped.‘These two little ones are surprisingly well-behaved this time,’ I muttered, still fighting the urge to throw up.It wasn’t real nausea at this stage. It was just that, when the babies had been kicking about, they’d managed to shove everything inside me around, pressing on my stomach until I felt sick.‘They’d better behave every time.’ Ashton’s face was dark.He poured me a glass of warm water. I drank straight from his hand and finally felt a little better. Leaning back against him, I caught my breath.‘You’re right. Two kids are enough,’ I

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 377 Bear with It

    The pain came in waves, sharp and constant, and I had to clench my teeth just to stop myself from crying out.My face had gone pale, and sweat soaked my hair and skin as if I’d just stepped out of the shower.I didn’t know if this meant the babies were coming. I had no experience, but the due date wasn’t until next month, which felt far too early.Once we got to the hospital and I was examined, it turned out to be a false alarm. The babies weren’t coming yet.The pain, the doctors said, was just because the little ones were unusually active. Nothing serious. The babies were having a great time, apparently, while I suffered for it.I lay in the hospital bed, exhausted after so many tests, but at least the babies had settled down.Ashton was in the room, along with the top obstetrician.‘Mr Laurent, Mrs Laurent,’ the doctor said, ‘there’s really no way to prevent this. In fact, this is a g

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 376 Breaking News

    Ashton came to the ranch whenever he could, but honestly, he was becoming more childish by the day.Every evening, after carrying me upstairs to the bedroom, he would sit down beside me and start giving our unborn babies a very serious lecture.I’d be half-lying there while Ashton leaned over slightly, one hand braced on the mattress by my waist, his whole face filled with concentration as he talked to my belly.He spoke as if they could actually understand him. It was ridiculous, but I had to admit it was also a little heart-warming.Watching him like that, in the quiet of the night, softened me. I reached out and gently stroked my stomach, thinking, ‘Your dad really does love you two. He’s going to be a good father.’Just then, I felt a faint movement in my belly, and Ashton stopped mid-sentence.I looked down and saw a small bump rise and fall under the thin white fabric of my nightdress.It wasn’t the

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 375 Try Something New

    Ashton let out a soft laugh and gave me a sidelong look.It made me nervous, and when he finally spoke, his voice was teasing. ‘Are you sure you’re not trying to remind me I should be doing something?’I pushed at his chest, flustered. ‘I’m going to sleep. You do whatever you want.’‘That sounded suspiciously suggestive,’ Ashton said, lifting the hand he was holding and pressing it to his lips.The warmth of his touch made me forget myself, until he lowered his gaze and smiled. ‘Judging by that look in your eyes, I’d say you’re definitely hinting at something.’‘What look?’He leaned in until our foreheads touched, then murmured with a grin, ‘The look of someone who’s trying to undress me with their eyes.’‘You’re ridiculous,’ I muttered, pushing his head away and yanking the blanket over my face to hide how hot it f
