Nathan: “A lifetime of happiness? Are you sure you made the right choice?” Nathan retorted, looking at me with indifference, a disdainful and superficial smile on his face.

Me: “I believe I made the right choice, so I hope you won’t interfere in my life. We are just sexual partners. Nothing more! I promised not to have sex with other men for the next six months, and that is my limit.” I stared Nathan in the eyes without flinching.

Even though I was afraid of him, I chose not to compromise this time.

Nathan: “I’ll show you that the ordinary lawyer isn’t worthy of you.”

After saying this indifferently, Nathan turned to leave. Watching him go, I found it strange that he claimed Stephen wasn’t right for me. After all, I knew very well that Stephen was a good man.

After leaving the office, I went to a supermarket to buy cooking ingredients, then returned to the house at West Northam.

When I arrived home, I washed my hands and started preparing dinner. Having previously lived with Lil

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Need for Money

    Me: I was worried about you, so I came here to take care of Wayne.Looking at my mother with a sorrowful expression, I whispered softly. Seeing how she kept trying to push me away, I felt discouraged.Mom: If you were really worried, you should have gotten the money for your brother’s surgery! If we delay his operation any longer, he’ll be disabled for the rest of his life. After all, he’s your brother. How could you stay inactive and do nothing? my mother said angrily.Even at this point, she still believed that I had money in my savings account and had deliberately chosen not to use it to save Wayne.Me: Mom, please stop putting me in such a difficult position. If I had the means, why wouldn’t I use them to save my brother?I said with a sigh, meeting my mother’s burning gaze.Mom: If you’re still my daughter, you’ll do whatever it takes to pay for Wayne’s operation, no matter what happens. If your brother becomes disabled, I’l

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Terrified

    In the end, it was me whom my mother blamed and held responsible.Why was she always so cruel to me? After all, Wayne was my brother. Even though I often criticized his behavior, I still regarded him as a member of the family.If I could help him repay his debts, why wouldn’t I?Crouched on the floor, I felt my tears flow uncontrollably.

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Solution

    Nathan: Come in.Nathan’s cold voice rang out.I opened the door and walked in.The moment I entered the office, I felt someone grab my arm tightly. The next second, I was pressed against the wall as Nathan immediately closed the door.Me: Nathan, what are you doing? If you keep acting so brazenly, you’re going to scare me to death.Seeing that I was getting angry, he didn’t say anything else. After letting go of me, he headed straight for his desk.Once he moved away from me, I felt much more relaxed. I then walked over to him and placed the documents on his desk.Me: Mr. Spence, this is my latest revision of the design plan. Could you please check if there’s anything wrong with it?After suppressing my anger, I did my best to remain professional and spoke calmly to Nathan.He gave the document a brief glance.Nathan: The concept isn’t bad, but we need to rework some details, he replied.This time, he ha

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Family’s problems

    “It was your mother who called my secretary,” Nathan replied. I was shocked. I never expected my mother to contact Nathan. To save Wayne, she had truly tried every possible way to get money. Even though Nathan was a stranger, she hadn’t hesitated to ask him for help, simply because he had once given 100,000 dollars in the past. Honestly, I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t even face Nathan at that moment. Considering how much I already owed him, my mother had actually called him again to ask for more money. How humiliating. Me:I’m sorry. I misunderstood the situation. Please allow me to apologize on my mother’s behalf for causing you trouble, I said shamefully, suppressing my anger toward my mother as I apologized to Nathan. I was about to hang up, but he interrupted me. Nathan:Irene, I’m the only one who can help you right now. I felt moved, my heart racing for a moment. But I quickly regained my composure and rejected his generous offer. Me:That won’t be necessary,

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Call

    Me:Mom, you’re really putting me in a very difficult position. I honestly don’t have much money.It’s not just a matter of choice — I simply don’t have the means to help.Given my financial situation, where could I possibly find such a huge amount?Mom:Irène, I’m begging you. Wayne is so scared that he doesn’t even dare to go back home now. After all, he’s the only son in our family. If something happens to him, how will we live the rest of our lives in peace? my mother said sadly.Hearing her trembling voice, I became more and more distressed.How could I possibly…Me:Alright. I’ll think about it. How much do you need right now? I replied.In the end, my heart softened. Even though I didn’t have any money at that moment, I couldn’t bear to see my parents like that. My father had already suffered a heart attack — what if he had another one because of this? I couldn’t take that risk.I knew that even if I helped Wayne this time, he would repeat the same mistakes in the future. Still
