Arlene's POV

By the time we finished watching the sunset, the sky had grown considerably darker, and the cool evening breeze had begun to settle around us. I held the painting Simone had made of me carefully against my chest as I walked beside him, still admiring it every few seconds as it looked so real.

There was something about the picture that made my heart feel strangely warm, especially because I knew he had taken the time to sit there and study every little detail of me before putting i

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 135

    Connor's POVI had spent most of the morning trying to concentrate on the documents sitting on my desk, but my thoughts kept returning to the events of the previous day. I was still irritated by the way Simone had dismissed my concerns, particularly because he seemed completely comfortable allowing Arlene to influence decisions that should have been handled by people with actual experience in the company.What bothered me most was that he didn't appear to see anything wrong with it.I had spent years helping him maintain Gillingham Group while he was away, and although I had never expected him to return and hand over the company to me, I certainly hadn't anticipated being treated like someone whose opinions no longer mattered. Now, every time I turned around, Arlene seemed to be standing beside him, offering suggestions and participating in discussions that had nothing to do with her.It was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore her growing influence.I pushed the documents aside

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 134

    Simone's POVDinner had ended a little over thirty minutes ago, and Arlene had gone upstairs to freshen up while I remained in the living room, responding to a few messages on my phone. It had been a relatively quiet evening, although I could still remember the conversation we had about Connor earlier that day.I had assured her there was nothing to worry about, but I couldn't completely dismiss what she had told me. Connor's behaviour during their encounter was unusual, especially considering how upset he had been when he came to my office. However, I wasn't going to allow a disagreement at work to become a problem between our families.My phone began ringing just as I was about to put it away, and when I glanced at the screen, I noticed my father's name.I answered and settled further into the sofa. "Good evening, Father.""Good evening, Simone. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.""No, I just finished dinner. Is something wrong?"There was a brief pause before he spoke again."I

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 133

    Arlene's POVI walked towards Simone's desk, still thinking about the strange encounter I had just had with Connor, while he pushed the documents aside and gave me his full attention."What happened with Connor?" he asked, noticing that I hadn't answered his earlier question about whether everything was alright.I pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down, placing my handbag on the floor beside me."I bumped into him in the hallway when I was coming to your office. I had just taken a gulp of water, and because I wasn't expecting anyone, I nearly choked when we collided."Simone raised an eyebrow. "Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?""I'm fine. He apologised and even helped me calm down before we started talking." I paused briefly, trying to remember the conversation properly. "I asked him why he wasn't at the board meeting this afternoon, and he said he had stepped out to take care of something and couldn't make it back in time.""That sounds like Connor," Simone remarked, l

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 132

    Arlene's POVIt was already past five in the evening, and most of the employees had begun leaving the office for the day. I had spent the last few hours reviewing some documents Daniel had sent to me concerning the partnership programme, and although I was still getting used to the amount of work that came with being involved in company affairs, I was beginning to enjoy having something meaningful to contribute.After saving the last document on my laptop, I shut it down and arranged the papers on my desk before picking up my handbag. I also grabbed the bottle of water I had left beside my laptop because I had barely had anything to drink since lunch, and I knew Simone would probably complain if I got into the car looking exhausted again.He was still in his office, finishing up a few things before we could leave together, so I decided to meet him there instead of calling to ask whether he was ready.I took a long gulp of water as I stepped out into the hallway, but I hadn't gone very

    Theodore's POV I was in my bedroom, going through a few documents I had brought home from the office, when my phone began ringing on the bedside table. I glanced at the screen and noticed Connor's name, which surprised me slightly because we had spoken earlier that afternoon about a few pending matters.I answered the call and settled against the headboard, expecting him to bring up something concerning the company."Good evening, Father. Is everything alright?""How can anything be alright when Simone is behaving like this?" he snapped before I could say anything else.I frowned, pulling the phone away from my ear for a moment before placing it back. "What are you talking about?""Your son has completely lost his mind, Father. I honestly don't know what has gotten into him since he returned, but somebody needs to speak to him before he ruins everything."I sat up, abandoning the documents in my hands. Connor rarely called me in such a state, and although I knew he had been strugglin

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 130

    Simone’s POVConnor walked into my office less than twenty minutes after the board meeting ended, and judging by the expression on his face, he had spent the entire journey down the corridor working himself into a temper.He barely acknowledged Melissa when he passed her desk, and he didn't bother knocking before pushing open my door. I looked up from the documents Daniel had left with me earlier, watching as Connor stepped inside and shut the door behind him with more force than necessary."Do you mind explaining what happened in that meeting?" he demanded.I leaned back in my chair, giving him my full attention. "You'll have to be more specific, Connor. We discussed several things.""Don't play games with me, Simone." He walked towards my desk, his jaw tight with anger. "You called a board meeting in my absence, presented a proposal that affects the direction of this company, and then allowed your wife to make the deciding argument. I would like to understand how you thought that wa
