The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

The man stood up and adjusted his robe, pulling it tighter around him. He then offered both Serena and Seraphina seats before settling back down in his own chair.“I apologize that you had to meet me and my friends in such a situation,” he said to Serena, his tone surprisingly polite.Serena simply nodded her head in response. All she really wanted was to get through this meeting quickly so she could leave and put this experience behind her.“Would you like me to offer you anything to drink or eat?” he asked in a courteous manner. She thought about nodding her head in refusal, but decided against it, feeling it might come off as rude. Instead, she replied, “No, thank you.”She was a little taken aback by his calm demeanor. She hadn’t expected him to possess even basic manners, but he did. It seemed that sometimes, you really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.Maybe before she leaves, she could gather the courage to ask him the question that she was so eager to ask.Why were there s

Serena gently wiped away the tears that had gathered in her eyes, letting them fall down her cheeks. “Oh Frederick,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.She found herself questioning why she was feeling such a wave of emotions. After all, she was fully aware of his feelings for her. Yet, alongside the storm of emotions swirling inside her, there was a sharp pain in her chest. It felt as if a tiny needle was being pushed through her heart, causing a stinging ache that she couldn't ignore.Clutching the letter tightly against her heart, she murmured softly, “I’m so sorry, Fred.”—-------Two days had gone by since Frederick had left, and Serena felt an increasing sense of urgency. She had tried to call his number several times, but each attempt ended in disappointment as it never connected. She really needed to talk to him, and the worry gnawed at her.Determined to find him, she chose to wear a pair of stylish pants paired with a light floral chiffon top. She grabbed her Chanel

Serena hurried back into the room, clutching a small bowl filled with cold water and a soft napkin in her hands. When she entered, she found Frederick lying on the bed, his eyes squeezed shut and his brows knitted together in discomfort. Without wasting a moment, she rushed to his side, settled down next to him, and dipped the napkin into the cool water.After squeezing it out just enough to avoid dripping, she carefully placed the damp cloth on his burning forehead. The chill from the napkin seemed to penetrate his feverish skin, startling him awake. His eyes flew open, and he grasped Serena's hand tightly.“It’s me, Frederick. It’s me,” she whispered softly, looking deeply into his eyes, which were filled with confusion and pain.His breathing was quick and uneven, making her heart race with worry. After a moment, he released her hand with a weary sigh and sank back onto the bed.Serena continued to press the cool napkin against his forehead, gently massaging his skin with the so

“But don’t worry, my son. That’s why I’m here—to save you from her clutches. I will make sure that snake doesn’t touch a single penny of your money from now on. She has to go,” Mary declared, a hint of satisfaction lacing her words.Slowly, Frederick turned to face her, his expression hardening. “You knew? You haven’t forgotten, so you’re clearly aware—that Serena had my child?”“I only did what was necessary to protect you from her. If I hadn’t stepped in that morning when she came to our house to tell you, Frederick, who knows where you would be today? That’s why I will keep reminding you, dear. I am the reason you’ve achieved so much in your life,” she replied, her tone dripping with self-importance.In a sudden burst of anger, Frederick’s hand clenched tightly around a glass vase, and with a swift motion, he smashed it to the floor. The sound of shattering glass echoed in the room, and Frederick felt the sharp sting of pain as blood began to seep from the cut on his hand where th

Mary's eyes narrowed as she focused intently on Serena. While she wasn't surprised by Serena's boldness, she certainly felt a wave of annoyance wash over her. A clear expression of disapproval settled on her face as she took purposeful steps toward Serena. Her gaze was piercing, filled with a fierce glare.“It seems you’ve forgotten, Serena, that you’re nothing special and people like you should really understand their place –”“A nobody? Is that really the best excuse you can come up with now?” Serena shot back, her voice filled with defiance. “You used to say you didn’t want me to ruin Frederick’s life, even though it was his own doing. Now, you’re calling me a nobody? Let’s not forget that the only reason you can look down on me like this is that I sacrificed everything to raise my child, who just so happens to be your grandson!”“Oh, just be quiet! My grandson? What a ridiculous claim! That child was never Frederick's! Did you really think I would believe you?” Mary exploded in
