My Billionaire Husband Gifted me a Surrogate for Christmas Chapter 24: What are You Doing Here?
Catherine’s P.O.VI finally scrambled off Hunter, my heart still hammering from the rush of adrenaline and shock. But suddenly, another thought crossed my mind. Why was Hunter here in the first place?“What… what were you doing here?” I demanded, my voice sharper than I intended. My hands trembled slightly as I took a step back, keeping my distance.Hunter got up slowly, one hand brushing against the snow-covered ground as if it had left a bruise, wincing faintly. “I… I saw someone in trouble,” he said quietly, his voice calm but steady. “And I came to help.”He looked at me then, and for a moment, the tension in my chest eased, replaced by guilt. He seemed hurt, physically or maybe emotionally…I couldn’t tell.“Sorry, I… I didn’t mean to…” I started, but he cut me off before I could stumble through some awkward excuse.“When someone saves your life,” he said, his voice firm, “maybe instead of questioning them, you can just… thank them for once.” There was no anger in his tone, just t
My Billionaire Husband Gifted me a Surrogate for Christmas Chapter 23: Near Accident
Catherine’s P.O.VI sat in the car outside the store for a few minutes, gripping the list Xavier had handed me. My eyes traced the neat little handwriting, noting the snacks, the jewelry, the maternity dresses. My stomach twisted.“Snacks, fine… jewelry?” I muttered to myself. “Maternity dresses?” My lips pressed into a thin line as I looked at the list again.I could almost hear Xavier’s voice in my head, casual and easy as ever. “Here, Cathy, take this list. Just get it, no big deal.”I let out a sharp laugh, though it sounded hollow even to me. “No big deal, right? As if I’m just running errands for his mistress while he’s who knows where, doing… what?” My hands shook slightly as I folded the list.“I can’t even… Why does it feel like he doesn’t even see me?”I gritted my teeth and tried to push it down, tried to calm the rush of frustration and hurt. Don’t overthink it, Cathy. It’s just a list. Just groceries. Stop reading into things.But my heart wasn’t convinced.I pressed my f
My Billionaire Husband Gifted me a Surrogate for Christmas Chapter 22: Just an Old Mug
Catherine’s P.O.VThat night, I quietly made my way to the second guest room, thinking it would be better to just sleep alone. My mind was still spinning from everything that had happened, from the tension with Lydia to the impossible mess of emotions I felt about Xavier. I barely got the door open when I heard his voice behind me.“Cathy, wait.”I froze and turned around. Xavier was leaning against the doorway, looking unusually serious.“I… I don’t think you should sleep there,” he said.I raised an eyebrow. “And why is that?”“Because… It's going to be incredibly awkward if Caroline sees us sleeping in different rooms. She’ll tell my mom, and… it’ll just create misunderstandings.” His voice was low, almost pleading, but there was a strange firmness underneath it.I shook my head, trying to keep my voice steady. “Xavier… my mind is a mess. I just can’t… I can’t bring myself to share your bed right now.”He took a step closer, his hands shoved into his pockets. “Cathy… you’re overthi
My Billionaire Husband Gifted me a Surrogate for Christmas Chapter 21: A Big Misunderstanding
Catherine’s P.O.VI stared at him, genuinely stunned, my mouth parting before I could stop it. Then my eyes slid to Caroline, whose face had gone completely pale, her hand instinctively pressing to her stomach as if to shield herself.“That’s not possible,” I said slowly, my voice tight but steady.“Xavier, I gave Caroline apple juice. I was very deliberate about it. I know she’s pregnant. I would never give her wine. Never.” I shook my head, looking between the two of them. “I brought the glasses to the table myself so they don’t get mixed up…I—I don’t…I have no idea how this could’ve happened.”Xavier didn’t interrupt me. He just listened, jaw clenched, before quietly lifting his glass.“Cathy,” he said, gently but firmly, “I got the apple juice.” He held the glass up between us like evidence.“I know you poured it yourself. I know you got us wine that I got you last Saturday. But I’m the one who got the apple juice.” His eyes searched mine. “Which means…the glass Caroline had wasn
My Billionaire Husband Gifted me a Surrogate for Christmas Chapter 20: Honest Mistake
Catherine’s P.O.VI watched myself agree to it, heard my own voice say yes like it didn’t belong to me, like it wasn’t breaking something open in my chest.“Fine,” I said quietly, then louder when Lydia tilted her head as if she hadn’t heard me properly. “Fine. If this is how it has to be, then fine.”She smiled immediately, sharp and satisfied, and I hated how quickly she accepted my surrender.“Good,” Lydia said. “At least you’re finally being reasonable.”I swallowed. “Don’t mistake this for consent. I’m doing this because I don’t have a choice.”She stepped closer. “You always have a choice, Catherine. You’re just finally choosing the right one.”“No,” I said, shaking my head. “I’m choosing the least destructive one.”As she gathered her things to leave, she stopped by the door, her hand resting on the handle. She turned back to me, her face calm, controlled, cruel in its stillness.“Let me make something very clear,” she said. “If anything happens to Caroline while she is staying
My Billionaire Husband Gifted me a Surrogate for Christmas Chapter 19: Casual Threats
Catherine’s P.O.VSomething ugly twisted in my stomach as the pieces clicked together, slow and painful. “So this,” I said, gesturing vaguely, my voice trembling now, “this whole surrogate situation… she just dropped it on us because you were already warned. Because she knew you wouldn’t say no.”He didn’t deny it. He just nodded once, stiffly. “She told me it was necessary,” he murmured. “That the family needed an heir, and that I needed to stop being selfish and think about my future.”I let out a hollow laugh that sounded nothing like humor. “Your future,” I repeated. “By threatening to take it away.”I stared at him, my heart aching in a way I hadn’t expected, anger and sadness crashing together. “I can’t believe this,” I said. “I knew Lydia was difficult, controlling even, but this?” My voice broke. “How do you become so vicious to your own son? Over one heir?”Xavier looked down, his shoulders slumping. “She’s always been like this,” he said. “Control first. Love second. If it e
