Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 66: Alina
HELENE"Alina Carter," the last woman said simply before turning her head away from me.For a moment, the atmosphere grew awkward, and the expressions of the three men around us immediately fell.Not wanting the situation to become any more uncomfortable for everyone, I simply smiled and gave her a small nod before taking the empty seat beside Lucien.The others gradually settled back down as well.Almost immediately, Dominic, who had already recovered his usual carefree demeanor, leaned forward with a grin."I really thought our paths would never cross again, Lena, yet here we are."He spread his hands dramatically."What are the odds?"I smiled.Considering how far Country F was from Solstice City, along with the sheer size of the city itself, the odds were probably quite low.I kept that thought to myself."It's quite a coincidence," I said instead.Before Dominic could respond, Lucien spoke up."So," he said slowly, "how exactly did the two of you meet?"Somehow, I caught a hint o
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 65: Acquaintances
HELENEI was in my room putting together a draft itinerary for my upcoming business trip to Country H when the sound of a car engine drifting up from outside caught my attention.Lucien's friends must have arrived.Setting my pen aside, I wandered over to the window and peeked down into the driveway.As expected, an unfamiliar car had pulled up in front of the villa.It was sleek, finished in metallic silver, and eye-catching enough that even someone like me, who knew next to nothing about cars, could tell at a glance that it carried a price tag to match.It practically seemed to proclaim, I'm ridiculously expensive.The corners of my lips twitched.What an unapologetic display of wealth.That only made me even more curious about Lucien's friends.Based on everything I'd seen since meeting Lucien, he'd always struck me as someone who preferred keeping a low profile. Even the car he usually rode in was elegant without being ostentatious.Whoever had driven this one here, on the other h
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 64: Insecure
LUCIENIt wasn't that I was being pessimistic. I was simply acknowledging the reality of our situation.Ever since our marriage began, I had always been the one taking the initiative while Helene responded in her own quiet way. We'd only just begun making genuine progress, and now she was about to leave the country. It wasn't unreasonable to worry that the momentum we'd worked so hard to build might gradually fade with the distance between us.Suppressing the restlessness quietly stirring inside me, I asked as evenly as I could,"Where are you going?""Country H," she replied."Aunt Eleanor mentioned there's a charming little town there. I want to see it for myself and decide whether it'd be suitable for the magazine's next feature."At least she hadn't brushed the question aside.The thought offered me a small measure of comfort. The fact that she was willing to explain her plans instead of giving me a vague answer was proof that, at the very least, I'd become someone she wanted to k
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 63: Business Trip
HELENETwo hours later, my grandparents were visibly growing tired.Noticing the occasional yawn Grandpa tried to suppress and the way Grandma had begun rubbing her eyes absentmindedly, Lucien, perceptive as ever, politely announced that he'd be taking his leave. After seeing my grandparents back to their room, I walked him outside.Side by side, we made our way toward the car parked just beyond the low white fence.For a while, neither of us spoke.Yet the silence between us felt neither awkward nor forced.If anything, it had gradually become something both familiar and comfortable.By the time we reached the gate, Clark had already stepped out of the driver's seat and was waiting a respectful distance away.I stopped walking and turned to Lucien."Thank you," I said softly. "For today."He looked at me without speaking.Over the past few days, I'd done everything I could to reassure my grandparents that I was happy after getting married.They always smiled and said they believed m
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 62: Heartfelt
HELENEI'd been convinced this dreaded meeting was destined to end in disaster.From the moment Lucien appeared at the doorstep, I'd been mentally preparing myself to step in the instant the conversation took a turn for the worse.Yet...It turned out I'd been worrying for nothing.Seated quietly to one side, I watched in stunned silence as Lucien won Grandpa over within the span of a single conversation. Even Grandma, who had initially regarded him with undisguised reservation, had gradually softened, if only a little.No wonder he was Old Master Blackthorne's chosen successor.With abilities like his and the emotional intelligence to match, I probably wouldn't have looked twice at anyone else either if I were in his grandfather's shoes.Just then, Grandpa called my name."Helene.""Huh?"Still distracted by everything I'd just witnessed, I reacted a beat slower than usual.That earned amused, indulgent smiles from both my grandparents, while the corners of Lucien's lips lifted almos
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 61: Rafe
LUCIENIn response to my apology, Helene's grandfather smiled warmly.Though age had painted his hair almost entirely silver and etched deep lines around his eyes, his posture remained straight, and his gaze retained a quiet, restrained sharpness."Not at all. We've been looking forward to meeting you as well."Unlike his wife, who regarded me with quiet reserve, he made no attempt to hide his curiosity as he studied me openly.Without realizing it, I found myself sitting a little straighter."I should have made time to visit sooner," I said. "That was an oversight on my part, and I apologize for it."The moment I decided to come here, I had already accepted that this meeting wouldn't be easy. Making excuses or trying to skirt around the obvious would only leave a poorer impression, so honesty seemed the only sensible approach.As expected, the older gentleman's expression softened."Helene told us you've been very busy lately. The fact that you still found time to come today is thoug
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 48: The Meridian
HELENEThe answer wasn't difficult to arrive at.It was for her son.Of course it was.Was I disappointed?A little.Surprised? No.If anything, the realization made me feel lighter.Knowing where someone's kindness came from made it easier to accept without reading too much into it.My silence must

HELENESilence followed my question.The kind that came from having no answer at allFigures.From the moment I returned to live with my grandparents at fifteen, it was as though I had quietly disappeared from this household.No calls. No messages. No attempts at check in. Over time, I stopped exp
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 20: Married
HELENESitting across from Lucien once again, I felt far more at ease than I had yesterday.Neither of us was particularly interested in exchanging meaningless pleasantries, so when he pushed a document across the table, I picked it up without a word.“Go through the terms,” he said. “See if there’
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 1: The Unwilling Fiancee
HELENE“I refuse to marry that cripple! Whoever wants to marry him can, but it’s definitely not going to be me!”My younger sister, Noemie Laurent, sobbed in our mother’s arms, tears streaming freely down her face.I sat opposite them, my expression unchanged. Inwardly, however, I found the scene
