The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 63: Written All Over His Face
Naomi glanced sideways at Sebastian, equally curious about his answer."Fine." Sebastian nodded.The old man exhaled, relieved. "Then the two of you can run point on this together."He turned to Naomi. "Marcus will help you follow up on logistics. Anything gets complicated, go through him.""Okay." Naomi gave a small nod.The old man glanced between them. "Do you two even have each other's contact info?"Both of them blinked, caught off guard.Naomi caught up first. She pulled out her phone and opened her contact QR code. "Mr. Cole, mind adding me?"If the old man wanted her running this project, she wasn't about to make it harder than it needed to be."Sure." Sebastian pulled up his own account and held it out.Watching the exchange complete, the old man waved them off. "Alright, that's enough for tonight. Head home.""Get some rest, Grandpa," Naomi said, standing and heading for the door.Sebastian followed right behind her.Miles, still leaning against the railing outside, arched a

"We're not divorced yet. Legally, you're still my wife."Something colder settled into Ethan's eyes as his composure snapped back into place.He registered what he'd just done in front of a room full of people and, rather than panic, doubled down.He believed he was in the right here. There was no version of this where the Sinclairs would side against him over one woman.He turned to the old man, blunt. "Mr. Sinclair. Naomi is my wife. I'm here to bring her home."Every set of eyes in the room fixed on the three of them.The old man raised his head slowly, met Naomi's eyes first, and then let out a short, humorless laugh. "Funny. I don't recall hearing anything about Naomi being your wife.""Where exactly were you when she needed someone?"If he hadn't dug into Naomi's background himself, he'd have had no idea just how badly Ethan had treated her over the years. The thought of nearly being taken in by Ethan's performance of concern made something in his chest curdle.But the words lan

"Dinner's about to start. Let's head down."Vivian buried the jealousy behind a friendly smile aimed at Naomi.Naomi caught the flicker of hostility underneath it anyway and answered, neutral. "Okay."The second they got downstairs, Naomi found Lily perched on Derek's shoulders.Her heart stuttered slightly, taking a beat to catch up.It's been less than half an hour. She's already this comfortable with all three of them?"Lily, what are you doing?" Naomi stopped short, disapproving. "Didn't we talk about respecting your elders?""It's my fault, I talked her into it." Derek's ears went red as he scrambled to explain. "She's just so cute, I couldn't help myself."Naomi's mouth twitched, out of arguments.Behind her, Vivian watched the whole scene with her jaw clenched so tight it nearly cracked.Naomi showing up was bad enough. Now there's a kid stealing everyone's attention too?Still, remembering that Naomi would soon be a divorced single mother, Vivian felt a small measure of relief
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 60: Trading Secrets
Sebastian froze slightly at the sight of her running toward him."What are you waiting for?" Miles said, unbothered. "Little Lily's asking for a hug, in case you missed it."Sebastian's mouth pressed into a thin line, something dark flickering across his eyes. "Not appropriate right now.""Why not?" Lily tilted her head, genuinely confused.Handsome uncle's never acted this cold before.She followed his gaze and found it locked on Marcus.Something clicked in her head instantly.Wait. Does handsome uncle think Mom and Uncle are together?Is he... jealous?"Handsome uncle, why do you keep staring at my uncle?" Lily asked, all innocence.At the word uncle, something shifted across Sebastian's expression. "What did you just call him?"Lily blinked, entirely unbothered. "You're staring at the guy next to my mom, right? That's my uncle!""Uncle?" Miles cut in, surprised. "Isn't that the new boyfriend you found for your mom?""Nope. Handsome uncle's the boyfriend I found for her." Lily beam

"Is that the truth?"Naomi's eyes narrowed slightly, letting a quiet weight settle over the boy.He shrank into his shoulders, something cold crawling up his spine, but still held his tongue.Naomi fell back on the oldest trick in the book for getting a kid to talk. "Tell me quietly, and it stays between us. Keep stonewalling, and I'll just go get Ms. Carter instead.""Then you'd officially be his accomplice. Might even land you a week's suspension right alongside him."She said nothing further, just watched him, patient, waiting.He was a kid, but weighing consequences was practically instinct at any age.Sure enough, after a short internal battle, the boy who'd been so loyally tight-lipped a moment ago folded."Pretty lady, you got it right. Julian told us to help him teach Lily a lesson. Said he'd split his toys with us if we did it."Something cold and unsurprised settled in Naomi's chest.She'd known Julian had drifted somewhere ugly. She hadn't expected him to go after his own s
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 58: Is He Ms. Hart's Boyfriend?
"What's going on with other people isn't our business," Sebastian said, unhurried.His eyes, though, stayed locked on the pair below.Marcus is walking her through a couture boutique in broad daylight. Is he planning to bring her to the family dinner tonight?Has it actually gotten this far between them?"He's technically your 'acquaintance,' though. Aren't you going to go say hi?" Miles pressed, deliberately baiting him.Sebastian shot him a cold look.Miles shut his mouth instantly."Mr. Cole, Mr. Foster?" Marcus spotted them on the stairs and greeted them first.Naomi followed his line of sight and found herself caught, briefly, in Sebastian's dark, unreadable gaze.Her mouth curved slightly. She gave him a small nod.Those eyes. Almost identical to the man from the archive room.If the two men hadn't looked so different otherwise, she'd have jumped straight to suspicion.But she wasn't going to leap to conclusions off a resemblance alone.I've heard rumors about synthetic skin mas
