Sophie was all dressed, standing before the mirror. She was applying some light makeup when there was a light knock on the door.

“Come in,” she called out. One of the housemaids came in.

“Ma'am, Sir Carson is waiting for you in the living room downstairs,” she informed.

“Alright, I’ll be there now,” Sophie replied. She was still wondering if she would ever get used to the way she was addressed in this house. It felt weird to her.

When she came downstairs, she saw Carson standing aloof. It was as if nothing in this world mattered to him. His expression was cold.

Carson was a bit startled when he saw her. She was wearing a red gown. The gown was made by a top designer and somehow, it managed to fit her perfectly. It was like it was specially made for her. It was the gown he bought for her for the occasion.

She looked even more beautiful than he remembered, even though she was wearing only light makeup.

“Mr. Carson,” Sophie called out. She felt uncomfortable with the way he was staring a

  • The billionaire’s contracted wife   Chapter 12

    The next day, Carson came back earlier after work and drove her to the main family house. His family were there waiting, including some of her cousins and nephews."Your wife is very beautiful," one of his cousins commented loudly. Sophie blushed a bit.Cassandra, who was there with Carson's mother, frowned. Carson himself was quite surprised."Why are you here, Cassandra?""Why can't she be here? Ever since she came back to this country, she has been very helpful to me, so I invited her to come over today and also help me out. She's such a nice girl. I'm sure she would make a nice daughter-in-law." She shook her head in regret."You want to marry her to Bastoni?" He feigned ignorance.Cassandra's face fell.Carson's mom didn't know what to say again. Sophie was getting along with Carson's female cousins. They were enthusiastic and could converse with you without annoying you, unlike Cassandra—speak of the devil."Where did you get your bag? I really like it. What famous brand is it f

  • The billionaire’s contracted wife   Chapter 11

    Carson had many thoughts running through his brain at that moment, but he managed to pull himself together. It was already enough that he had broken his five years of sexual abstinence. He felt guilty and didn’t want to go any further.It’s not that he hadn’t gotten over the death of his girlfriend five years ago. It’s just that, ever since then, he had never shown any interest in the opposite sex—until Sophie. And he felt guilty about it.He cleared his throat and helped her up.“Come inside,” she weakly signaled.He followed her inside and sat on the bed.“So… you have something to tell me, right? Go ahead,” he gestured.“Actually, you can go first. What I want to say isn’t that important,” she replied.“Is that so?” He looked at her with a doubtful expression. She looked down and blushed.“I won’t beat around it then. We’re having a party two days from now to celebrate my position as the new head of the O'Connell family. It’s an important event. We’re going to travel to the main fa

  • The billionaire’s contracted wife   Chapter 10

    It had been a week since the O'Connell family dinner. Sophie had been bored the entire week. Now that she was married to Carson, she couldn’t return to her old job. After some thought, she decided to learn fashion design from a famous designer who was accepting students.The fee was exorbitant. Before, she might not have been able to afford it, but now she had enough money.“You’re back,” she greeted Carson when he returned.“Yes,” was all the reply he gave.She was already used to his usual demeanor and didn’t say anything further.“When you freshen up, can you come to my room?” she asked suddenly, startling Carson. He wore a weird expression.Sophie realized her request sounded awkward.“Wait! I didn’t mean it like that,” she hurriedly added.“Like what?” Carson feigned ignorance.Sophie was exasperated. He clearly knew what she meant but pretended otherwise.“Forget it. When are you going to study?” she asked, realizing she could have asked to meet him there instead of making such

    The dinner continued into the night before everyone settled into their own rooms. The O'Connell family's main mansion was very huge, so there was enough room for everybody to stay until the following day, before they could leave for their respective homes.Nobody actually lived in the O'Connell family house after Carson's grandfather died a few months ago. They only came once a month for the family dinner, which took place at least once every month. Even though the old man was dead, they still observed the dinner in his honor to show respect, even if they knew it was just temporary.Since Carson and Sophie are a couple, they were provided with one room. It was actually Carson's room from childhood. He had lived with his grandfather since he was born and literally grew up beside the old man.Sophie felt awkward having to sleep in the same room with Carson. She hoped he wouldn't have any bad thoughts toward her. She had learned that men can be unpredictable sometimes from her friends.T

    Carson smiled and greeted everybody. They were all curious and kept staring at Sophie beside him.Two of his uncles were present too, with their wives and a few of their children. They all had the temperament and demeanor of wealthy people. Sophie was impressed."Dad, Mom, uncles, and aunts, let me introduce to you, this is my wife Sophie," Carson announced.Nobody was prepared for this sudden news; it was shocking to them, especially his mother. Everybody looked at him like an alien. Nobody expected such news; mind you, he hadn't had a girlfriend for a long time, let alone a fiancée. They even started to think that he didn't like the opposite gender.His brother was the first to applaud him."Way to go, brother. We were still thinking of how to convince or force you to get laid, but here you are, already married," he exclaimed.His father was also happy. Carson started introducing everybody to her. His father and brother were all happy, especially his father. He was gloating at his b
