Married To My Ex-Fiance's Billionaire Uncle のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

(Emily’s POV).“Thank you, Laura. I just hoped everything would go according to plan,” I said, trying to remain optimistic.“You know, I was the one who should be thanked for making him see how beautiful the world could be when he loved someone.”Laura grasped my hand with conviction. “I'm sure Mike made a lot of progress. Once that plan was complete, you'd get your company back, and we'd be one step closer to securing everything for you and your father.”Her confidence was infectious, and I found myself smiling despite the gravity of the situation.“I just hoped my father would understand the decision I made. I wanted him to know the truth from me, but sometimes I worried that it was too much for him to handle.”Laura's eyes softened. “He was proud of you, Emily. Even though he couldn’t show it like he used to, I was sure he had been following everything closely. And now that you are married to Mike, things will be even better.”I nodded, taking a deep breath. “I hoped so. I knew Mik

(Emily’s POV).“Of course,” he had said softly. “We will focus on getting your company back on track first. I wanted you to be completely at ease with everything before we made any major decisions.”I smiled at his understanding. Then I briefly discussed him in the days before he had loved me. “You know, the current you look more fun,” I had said.“Do you like the person I am now?”“Actually, both. But I'm glad you ended up loving me.”He then grabbed my chin and said, “Who wouldn’t love you if you were like this? So submissive and so beautiful?”I had rolled my eyes and we had gone back to enjoying the late dinner. At one point, he had asked, “Is there any best plan you want to tell me about?”“I think this is the best way forward,” I replied. “Restoring my company is very important, but knowing that we have a future we can look forward to makes everything feel more manageable. I want to make sure everything stabilizes before we take the next step.”Mike had nodded, his eyes reflecti

(Emily’s POV).“Well, let’s get the ice cream!” he said, happily.We then drove in comfortable silence for a while, with Mike's hand resting on my knee. The city lights twinkled past us, and for a moment, I felt like everything was going to be okay. The car stopped at a small ice cream shop that looked cozy and inviting, with colorful lights and a friendly atmosphere.Inside, the shop was warm and filled with the smell of waffles and different flavors of ice cream. We approached the counter, and Mike gave me an encouraging smile.“Pick a flavor you like, Love. This is your treat tonight.”I scanned the menu and chose chocolate chip mint, my favorite. Mike, who is an adventurer, chose something a little more adventurous—a combination of caramel swirl and sea salt. We paid and found a quiet corner where we could sit and chat.As we ate our ice cream, I could feel the tension in my shoulders ease. Mike's presence was comforting, and although the pain of seeing Ben was still there, it wa

(Emily's POV).“We finally love each other.” Those were the words I told Linda. Her expression of surprise with her red polished lips became gaping.I nodded my head to let her know that she hadn't heard wrong. “Yes. it is true. You didn't hear wrong about that.”“But, how come?!”I smiled to myself remembering how we initially confessed to each other. Linda hadn't even heard the biggest news yet.“And I'm pregnant with his child.”I held my stomach in front of her and she was even more surprised. She heard two pieces of news at the same time, and I'm sure she didn't expect it to happen to me.I don't think anyone would have expected to have such a beautiful outcome with Mike. I never thought that I would be able to love him, even to the point of getting pregnant.I thought too, who would want to be with an old man like him? I mean, sometimes age matters, right? But I was just mesmerized by him, the charisma he showed and how handsome he was every day.“You surprised me, Emily! In on

(Emily’s POV).“Do you think he won't say anything to your family, including Ben?”Once outside, I was really worried. I was afraid that when the time came for Gregor to return, he would still tell his family, especially Ben.“He doesn't dare me, Emily. More to the point, no one dares to mess with me. Trust me, you have nothing to worry about.”I sighed and wanted to believe that every time he said that I should believe him. But my anxiety outweighed everything and it made it hard for me to think realistically.Then on the way back to my house, his hand pulled mine and he rubbed it gently. “I don't want you to think too much about this when you're pregnant. I don't want you to be stressed and exhausted, Emily.”“What steps are you going to take after this? You're going to make sure first that there's no evidence left in his room, right?”Mike nodded with a sigh. I think he was a little frustrated with my anxiety, but he was good at not showing it to me.“Yeah, I'll start looking into
