Nathan: “Why are you staring at me like that?”

I snapped back to reality and quickly turned to look out the window, embarrassed that I had been stunned by his beauty a moment earlier.

Me: “So… why did you want to meet?”

I stared straight ahead, avoiding Nathan’s eyes.

Nathan: “Are you still involved with Perry?”

His voice was cold as he turned to look at me. His question startled me, and once I processed what he had just said, I couldn’t help but frown in displeasure.

Me: “What do you mean, ‘I’m still involved with Perry’?”

Who was he to question me like that? I was already irritated from what happened earlier, and now he was seriously getting on my nerves with that kind of question.

Nathan: “Explain yourself clearly, right now! I don’t want a frivolous woman.”

His voice was low, but even behind his sunglasses, I could feel the anger radiating from him.

Me: “Didn’t you investigate my relationship with Perry? He was my ex-boyfriend. We broke up—you know that. I can’t help it if you can

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Very beautiful indeed.

    Me: “Even if you’re not worried, I am. From the beginning, we both know that it’s impossible for us to be together. Do you know how much gossip spreads in the village when neighbors gather? If my parents tell our story to them, how could I face going home in the future?If my parents tell the neighbors that I have a wealthy boyfriend, how could I answer if someone asks about him? And if I say we’ve broken up, wouldn’t that tarnish my reputation?”Nathan: “Alright,” he said after a long pause.I looked at his profile sideways, stunned, unsure how to react. Had he accepted my request? After that, we didn’t speak until we reached West Northam.After placing my luggage in the room, I was about to rest. Suddenly, my phone rang.Seeing it was a call from Liliana, I quickly answered. After all, I hadn’t spoken to her all day, and I was also quite worried.Me: “Hi, Liliana,” I said, picking up the phone.As I entered the living room, Nathan was taking a bottle of water from the fridge. Seeing

    Nathan: “Why did you come back so soon? Didn’t I tell you to call me when you returned? Did you forget what I said?”After opening the car door, Nathan walked toward me. At that moment, he was wearing a black suit, giving him an even more severe appearance. As I looked into his eyes, my heart started racing. For that reason, I didn’t know what to say at that moment.Me: “I came back earlier than planned, and I refrained from disturbing you, fearing that you might be busy.”Nathan: “Get in the car,” he said in an authoritative tone, frowning.Sitting in the car, Nathan and I didn’t exchange a word. The atmosphere felt tense. Looking out the windows, I hesitated to speak, unsure how to break the silence.Seeing Nathan’s stern gaze, I couldn’t find a single word. Between us, it felt like there was nothing much to say.Nathan: “Why did you come back to the city so soon? Weren’t you supposed to come back in the evening?”As I struggled to speak, Nathan took the initiative to break the sile

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Injustice

    When I opened my eyes, it was already the next morning. After getting up and washing, I noticed that my mother had already prepared breakfast. Wayne had also woken up after a night of drinking. As usual, he seemed carefree. Not wanting to talk, I just glanced at him with a frown.Remembering that a large sum had been used to pay off his gambling debts, I was so furious that I felt like hitting him.However, I couldn’t lay a finger on him because my parents would only get angrier with me. Since he was young, Wayne had always been their precious son. If I hit him, my mother would definitely cut ties with me.Still, even if I refrained from provoking him, that didn’t mean he wouldn’t annoy me. After taking a sip of milk, he looked at me.Wayne: “Irene, I heard you found a rich boyfriend. Is that true? When are you going to introduce him to us so we can see what he looks like?”I immediately knew he was referring to Nathan. However, I was sure he wasn’t only curious about what he looked l

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Money

    Watching my mother get angry, I furrowed my brows and felt uncomfortable. Before talking to her, I already knew she wouldn’t easily agree to my request. But Nathan and I weren’t together, so I couldn’t take his money without a valid reason.Me: “Mom, this money doesn’t belong to us. We’d better return it.”Mom: “As I just said, the money was given to us, so why should I give it back? Have you thought about your father and me?”Me: “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll work hard to earn more money. Anyway, we can’t use money that doesn’t belong to us.”I took my mother’s hand and tried to explain gently, hoping she could understand my feelings.Mom: “I don’t care. Anyway, the money is in my hands now, so don’t even think about taking it back. You’re so selfish toward your family.”I looked at my mother with disappointment and even began to cry. I didn’t blame her too much for favoring Wayne over me. But now that she was ignoring all the sacrifices I had made for the family, I felt extremely depresse

  • The billionaire’s beloved    came back to retrieve the 100,000 dollars

    In reality, the reason I wanted to go home was to retrieve the 100,000 dollars and return it to Nathan, because I couldn’t let my parents accept his money without a valid reason. However, I didn’t intend to reveal my true reason to Nathan. With his temper, he would definitely get angry if he knew I was going home just to get the money.It had been a long time since we had been able to be at peace with each other, and I didn’t want to ruin that harmony at this moment.Nathan: “I’ll ask someone to take you home,” he said indifferently, looking me in the eyes.Hearing his words, my heart trembled. He said he would ask someone to take me home—did he really care about me? Thinking this, I felt happy, but I had to constantly remind myself of the true nature of our relationship. Even if he genuinely cared about my safety, I couldn’t accept his kindness.Me: “It’s fine. I’ll just take the bus from the station. It’s really convenient, and I’ll be home in four or five hours.”Although I refused
