Easy, Mr. Bigshot のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 531 - チャプター 540

"Why are you here?" Jolene demanded, clearly not wanting to see me.I was not in the mood to fight with her. "I was just shopping. I saw you throwing up and got a little worried. Are you okay?"She shot me a stink eye and turned away. "I don't need your stupid, fake worry. I'm fucking fine!" Well, no one could possibly feel good after having their goodwill shouted at like that. I wanted to leave—until I saw Jolene retch again after taking just another few steps. She seemed to be seized by frequent nausea… Wait. Could it be?I ran toward her and blocked her on her way. "I need to ask you something.""Go away! I don't wanna talk to you!" Jolene’s attitude was a sting to my pride, but it was more important to see if things were as I thought it was. So, I hardened my voice and expression. "It's just a question, and it's important!""Then get on with it and get off my back!" "When was the last time you had your period?"Jolene reeled in shock. When she came back to it, she glare

"I don't care! I'm not going because I know I'm not pregnant! So fuck it!" Jolene declared, and, without giving us a chance to say anything edgewise, bolted up the stairs. Bang! went the door. Mom looked upstairs with tears in her eyes. It hurt me to see this. "Don't worry. I'm sure she'll come to the right conclusion," I said, patting Evelyn’s shoulder. Jolene found the truth hard to swallow, but in time, even she had to realize that this wasn't an issue she could banish with a shout."I can't help but think this is my fault. If I weren't so harsh on her that day, she wouldn't have run away and…" Evelyn sobbed as she sank into the couch. "This is all on me.""None of this is your fault. There's nothing you can change by blaming yourself for what happened that day. The only thing Jolene can do is accept and move on from what happened and do what’s best for herself now. We can't let her delay that check-up," I comforted, sighing.Evelyn wiped away her tears. "You're right. I

"I can't believe you—"Jethro shut me up by pressing his lips onto mine. His hands began coursing all over me, and it didn't take long before I started feeling it. Well, I was sure anyone could guess what happened even if they thought with their toes.He went hard and long. By the time he was released, I was already near sleep. The next morning, I woke up to Jethro’s absence. That was just the kind of person Jethro was. He could have apocalyptic sex and still wake up the next day with full energy. Meanwhile, I would be operating at below half battery capacity all the time. When I returned home from work that day, I was one or two steps away from completely shutting down. But the thought of Jethro's relentless appetite for sex spurred me into asking the housekeepers to clean up the guest room.Doris saw me moving into the guest room and was alarmed. "What are you doing, Rina? Did…Did something happen between you and Jett?" she asked softly. She must’ve been worried because I was

Evelyn and I waited in the hallway with bated breath, though she was more anxious than I was. Jolene had stepped into the ultrasound room for more than 10 minutes. The fact that it was taking this long made me anxious. "Does it always take this long?" Evelyn asked. "Let's just wait a little longer, okay? Maybe the doctor’s trying to be thorough," I replied. She nodded, but her frown did not loosen up. Sometime later, the door finally opened. Jolene, pale-faced, had her report in her hand. One look at her expression told me what was likely in that report, and my heart still sank. Evelyn approached Jolene anxiously. “How did it go?" she asked in a shaky voice.Jolene did not reply, and I wordlessly took the report from her.She was pregnant.I sighed and passed the report to Evelyn, who turned white as a sheet. As the two of them stood there in shock, we started drawing attention.Quietly, I suggested, "We should head home first before we discuss what to do next."We were

Jethro frowned harder. He walked toward me and loomed. "You're still mad at me for last night?" he asked, his tone gentler now. My heart quivered at his sudden show of gentleness. Still, thinking back on how cold he was made me feel a little wronged. I looked away and pouted. "N-No!" "You ordered me not to touch you last night and I did as you wanted. So why are you mad now?" he cocked an eyebrow, smiling."I'm not mad." I sulked. "That's now what I'm seeing. Is it because I was cold to you last night?" "No." I rolled my eyes. This idiot knew exactly what kind of attitude he was showing me last night, right? So why the hell was he making me give an explicit answer?I was just about to leave when he grabbed me by the hand. "Hey." He pulled me into his arms. "Don't be mad. I wasn't on my best behavior last night, I know. Sorry. But to be fair, you started it.""Excuse me? Are you blaming me?" I snapped. "I mean, you're the one who went to the guest room just so I can't hav
