All Chapters of Hired Bride: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Lucas felt a tear escaped his eye as he stared at his son sleeping soundly on the hospital bed. Right at the moment, he couldn't help but feel helpless. If only he could take his son's sickness, he would. He would rather suffer from the pain himself than see his own child struggle."He usually wakes up late. Around nine-thirty most of the time." Hilda informed him as she quietly placed the fruit basket Lucas had bought on the bedside table.Lucas didn't respond. He didn't trust his voice at the time. If he spoke, he felt like his voice would crack and end up breaking down right there and then. He quickly wiped his tear with the back of his hand and took a deep breath to calm himself down.Hilda eyed him. He was oddly meek and silent. She thought he would asked her a bunch of questions. Like, why didn't she tell him about their son? Why did she keep their son's condition from him? Or why didn't she take good care of their son to keep him from getting the cancer in the first place?

"Mr. King, your son's here demanding to see you." Edward's executive assistant whispered to him as the board of directors continually discussed the issue they were having with the company's budget."Tell him I'm in a middle of a very important meeting." He dismissed him and returned his attention back on the discussion."But sir-" He was about to explain how his son couldn't take a no for an answer when he was interrupted by Mason, himself, entering the room.The room grew eerily silent as they all stared at Mason. "I sincerely apologize for cutting this meeting short, ladies and gentlemen. But will it be alright if I speak with my father? Just a small family matter." He informed them.Edward felt a bit embarrassed by his son's unprofessional act in front of the board of directors and he was ready to give him an earful. "That's quite alright, Edward. Family first, right?" One of the directors told him and shot him a reassuring smile.Edward forced a smile on his face before speak

After their stroll on the beach, Mason brought Kelsey to a street food fair downtown. Together, they tried different types of food - Korean, Moroccan, Indian, Japanese, Mexican, and more - and they were all delicious. For dessert, Mason asked Nina to get them two tickets at the famous all-you-can-eat dessert place in town. They were bloated by the end of the day but they certainly had a blast.Before the day was over, Mason brought her to one of his favourite place to go to as he was growing up. He held her hand and led her to the rooftop of his grandmother's house."Wow, this is beautiful." Kelsey gasped out as she stared at the rooftop garden. There were all types of colourful flowers and Kelsey was amazed at the view."Right? I always go here to think. It's my haven, I guess." Mason admitted as he sat on the ledge that was surrounded by a fence to prevent anyone from falling forward.Kelsey carefully touched the blue roses and stared at it in awe. "Where's your grandmother anyw

"Hurry up, Mason! Or else we're gonna miss the movie!" Kelsey screamed at the bottom of the stairs to Mason who was in his room changing."I'll be there soon!" He yelled back, informing her.Kelsey had thought she would never step foot on Mason's penthouse, but there she was at the moment, waiting for him for their movie date that he insisted he wanted to do. It sounded very cheesy, the typical movie date, but Mason wanted to experience it with Kelsey. He had never done it with anyone and he wanted to know what it would be like.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, snapping Kelsey out of her trance. Her brows furrowed in confusion as to who might be at the door. Georgia left about ten minutes ago and Kelsey didn't know who might be by the door. Unless Mason was expecting a visitor she wasn't informed of.She strolled towards the door and opened it, coming face-to-face with Edward King. "Mr. King..." Kelsey trailed off, feeling the awkwardness arising between them. The last tim

It feels great when what one thinks actually happens. Two days since we arrived on the island and Mason was still stuck in his study with his laptop and phone. I on the other hand, had the privilege to tour the beautiful island. On the north was an amazing sandy beach with a myriad of clear blue water and the sunny sky. The south of the island however, there was this gorgeous cliff with huge waves crashing onto them. This island was amazing. I was only able to tour the north and south in the two days. “You are free to do whatever you want to. There is only us and the house staff on the island, so you should be safe from paparazzi as well” Mason had said before disappearing into the study. Well at least that put my mind to rest. I was able to enjoy this holiday. “Breakfast!” I heard the familiar voice call. Ever since we came, I had not seen him at all. When I turned, it was to find the business magnate Mason gone, and a very tired looking one instead. However, unlike the usual busi
