The Billionaire I’ll Never Marry Chapter 65 - Because I Want To
Ailsa used the key for the first time on Saturday night.She could have rung the bell.Callum knew she was coming, and the doorman had already seen her walk through the lobby with the new fob in her hand.Still, the click of the lock mattered.She opened the door herself.Callum was in the kitchen, sleeves rolled to his forearms, looking at a saucepan with the concentration of a man reviewing an acquisition.“You cooked.”He looked up.“I heated.”“That is more credible.”Ailsa closed the door behind her and slipped the key back into her bag.Nothing locked behind the gesture. She could use the same key to leave whenever she wanted.That was why she had come.Dinner was deliberately ordinary.Callum had bought pasta from a place three streets away and transferred it into a pan because he claimed delivery containers ruined the temperature.Ailsa informed him this was evidence of a personality disorder.He told her she had eaten half of it.They argued about a film neither of them had s
The Billionaire I’ll Never Marry Chapter 64 - The Door Stays Open
Callum's building manager chose Thursday morning to make Ailsa into an administrative problem.“She has stayed overnight more than once,” Graham said, standing in Callum's kitchen with a tablet. “Security can add Ms. Fraser as a household resident. Permanent access, garage authorization, staff recognition. It would save the desk calling up every time she arrives alone.”Callum looked toward the bathroom.Her toothbrush was still on the second shelf.The sensible answer arrived immediately: add her and make the arrangement easier.He had spent most of his life treating friction as evidence that a system needed improvement.Then he heard Ailsa's voice from two nights earlier.Keep the door usable.Callum looked back at Graham.“No resident profile.”Graham paused.“Would you prefer temporary access?”“A physical fob and a spare key. No household designation.”“We can add arrival notifications to your security feed,” Callum said.“No.”Graham's eyebrows lifted slightly.Callum ignored th
The Billionaire I’ll Never Marry Chapter 63 - Things He Doesn't Say
Ailsa spent most of the next day thinking about a phone vibrating at one forty-three in the morning.Callum was a chief executive. Important people called him at inconvenient hours. The Rotterdam problem had been real.What stayed with her was the speed.He had been out of bed before the second vibration, awake and useful before he knew whether anyone actually needed him.By evening, she had collected enough examples to make the pattern difficult to ignore.When Eilidh left, Callum had tried to reconstruct the failed wedding before he fully understood what Eilidh wanted. Sinclair problems moved toward him as if gravity applied. When Cairn went wrong, his first instinct had been to absorb the loss and keep everyone else from paying for his restraint.Even in private, he slept ready to get up.Ailsa found him at his apartment with his jacket off and a call ending against his ear.“Yes,” he said into the phone. “Send me the revised numbers in the morning. You don't need me tonight.”He e
The Billionaire I’ll Never Marry Chapter 62 - Her Side of the Bed
Callum was closing his laptop when Ailsa said, “I want to stay.”He looked up.She stood beside the sofa with her shoes in one hand and the expression she wore when she had already made a decision.“Tonight?”“Yes. Here.”Callum set the laptop aside.They had eaten dinner at his apartment because neither wanted another restaurant. There had been no public obligation, no crisis, and her car was downstairs.She could leave.She was asking not to. The distinction mattered to Callum. Nothing had stranded her in his apartment, and no public story improved if she stayed until morning. Whatever happened next belonged only to them.“What does stay mean?” he asked.“Sleep. In your bed. With you.”Callum waited.“Just sleep.”“All right.”“No assumption that being in your bed means anything else is happening
The Billionaire I’ll Never Marry Chapter 61 - For Now Is Still Real
Ailsa had spent most of her adult life distrusting promises that came with invisible footnotes.Forever was the worst of them.By Wednesday evening, she had decided that for now deserved better treatment.Callum was in his kitchen opening a bottle of sparkling water when she arrived.“You brought a bag,” he said.“It contains dinner.”“That was almost disappointing.”Ailsa set the paper bag on the counter.“What did you think it contained?” Ailsa asked.“I know better than to answer that.”“Good.”He took the containers from her and began setting them out.Nothing about the scene looked important, which was why Ailsa had chosen it.They had spent three days talking about marriage as though the future were a legal dispute waiting to happen. She was tired of letting a possible ending consume the relationship that actually ex
The Billionaire I’ll Never Marry Chapter 60 - I Didn't Ask
Callum slept badly, although nothing Ailsa had said should have surprised him.She had told him from the beginning that marriage was not waiting somewhere beyond enough trust, enough time, or enough proof that he was different from the men she distrusted. He had accepted the condition when the engagement was fake because it solved the immediate problem.Now the relationship was real, and never had acquired weight.He stood at his kitchen counter the next morning with untouched coffee in front of him and admitted what he had avoided naming in the car: the word hurt because part of him had begun to want a different future.For years, marriage had been an instrument in the Sinclair world, tied to alliance, continuity, and family expectation. He had resisted being assigned one without ever deciding that marriage itself was worthless.Somewhere between Ailsa refusing the family ring and falling asleep against his shoulder after a bad day, the possibilit
