Alle Kapitel von Mr. Roosevelt's Pampered Pawn Wife: Kapitel 41 – Kapitel 50

Lucille nodded her head, took back the check and left without a back glance. Gillian sighed and went to pay, after which she hailed a cab to their new apartment. Inferring that the environment and surroundings of their previous apartment wasn’t safe, Matthew managed to persuade Gillian to move into this new and luxury apartment that was near Knox’s school. It was a six bedroom apartment, equipped with a huge living room and kitchen hence, Kirsten urged Klaire and her husband, Wilson to move in with Gillian and Knox. Again under Matthew’s persuasion the couple moved in with Gillian. And then he gave Klaire and Wilson a job in one of his company subsidiaries just one bus ride away from the apartment. One by one Gillian put away the items she bought in the supermarket. Just as she finished with her task, Knox arrived from school. Knox was startled when Gillian hugged him tightly and kissed his cheeks. The last time Gillian hugged and kissed him like this was before the surgery. “W

Kirsten’s lips twitched. She wanted to ask what his son and daughter - in law were doing, but held her peace. “You're unwilling, aren't you?” Norman said, sneering. Kirsten smiled and said, “I will handle the discharge procedure, grandpa.” Norman was sleeping when Don arrived in the hospital. “Thank you, madam. No one could stand the temper of the old sir except you.” Don said quietly. Kirsten responded with a giggle. “The doctor gave a go signal that it’s alright to take him home. Anyway, I have to go.” In the corridor, Kirsten was surprised to meet James. Her heart constricted looking at the man who shed a few pounds, looking thinner. But the man still looked handsome and could turn heads. “James?” Looking into her best friend’s eyes, Kirsten could see grief surrounding him. “What happened?” She held his hand and took him to the nearby bench. “Dad, dad… he’s dead.” Though he shed no tears, his sorrow bled in his voice. Wordlessly, Kirsten consoled James, holding

As Kirsten and Matthew made their way further into the hall, Graciella, while talking to one of Lincoln's family friends, caught sight of them. "Excuse me for a while, I'll come back in a bit," she said and strode off to Matthew and Kirsten after the person nodded. Though feeling embittered, Graciella wore a smile on her face. "Mr Roosevelt… " Graciella paused for a moment and continued despite the niggling feeling she had. "Mrs Roosevelt." As though they had talked about it, in synchrony, Matthew nodded their head and said, "Mrs Lincoln." The exchange between them was watched by the people inside the hall. Following Graciella's lead, Matthew and Kirsten took the front seat and then left them, seemingly restless. The people who had witnessed the whole fiasco the night before began to rethink if Jenny's statement was true. "Looking for him?" Matthew's jealous voice rang in her ears when her eyes scanned the place looking for James. Like a child caught stealing a candy,

After being discharged from the hospital, Kirsten and Matthew flew back home. The time she was confined in the hospital, Kirsten was able to think about her relationship with Matthew. What a fool she was. To begin with, she and Matthew entered a year-long contract marriage. Why didn’t she thoroughly think about Matthew’s behavior towards Monalisa? He married her not to make Monalisa jealous. Lucille was right; she was just a chess piece in the hand of Matthew, protecting his beloved. It wasn’t surprising he was such a legendary tycoon, he was a prodigy at manipulating a situation to his advantage and this was a classic example. At the thought of being played, Kirsten wanted to get revenge. “Here for breakfast?” His voice was casual, light even but his eyes roamed over her small figure almost hungrily, taking in every single detail of her face and figure which is getting rounder because of her pregnancy. They had been living past each other for nearly one month, with Kirsten de

“Good morning, my love,” Kirsten heard Matthew’s voice when she opened her eyes in the morning. Mesmerized by the handsome man standing near the foot of the bed, she stared at him without blinking her eyes.  Finding her reaction adorable, Matthew could not hold back his laughter which snapped back Kirsten into reality.  “Are you not going to your office?” Kirsten asked when Matthew sat beside her and surrounded her with his pair of powerful arms.  “You still have two days left of your leave of absence and I’m going to stay with you.” For the previous months they barely had time with each other. He realized that he had neglected her, just because she wasn’t complaining doesn’t mean that he could go on
