Billionaire's Divine Match のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Luna woke up to the sunlight shining through her window, but she didn't feel its warmth. She lay flat on the bed with her back as she stared at the ceiling. All that happened at the office the previous day replayed in her mind—how Jasper treated her without taking a single note of her feelings. Her kind gesture turned into a reason for his mockery.A gentle knock on the door broke the silence. Not getting any response, Ariel opened the door slightly, peeked head in, and saw Luna lying down. Then she walked in.“Good morning, Mrs. Jasper. I brought you tea; don't worry, I made it just the way you like it, no sugar, extra honey." She smiled warmly.Luna diverted her gaze from the ceiling to Ariel; her face was expressionless as she stared at Ariel. Without saying a word, she forced a smile and stared back at the ceiling.Ariel knew this feeling; it was now a routine for Luna. “I just hope she doesn't go into depression; she's so young for this." Ariel pondered. She placed the tray on th

"What am I doing? I-I don't understand." Luna stammered looking confused."Don't claim you don't know what I'm talking about," Jasper warned in a low tone.“What do you mean Jasper, I was only talking to Mr. Finn. He's calm and lovely and—“Lovely? Did you say lovely? You think that is what this is about? Flirting with one of my most important clients in front of everyone? Making me look stupid and weak? What exactly do you take me for Luna?" Jasper queried, a wild look in his eyes."Flirting? Jasper, I wasn't— “Don't play innocent Luna, I saw everything. I saw the way both of you looked at each other, that was beyond talking." Jasper's voice rose slightly, which by now attracted some curious glances from guests. Luna gasped and for a moment, she stood still and confused. She tried to process what she just heard but she couldn't. “Why's he accusing me? What did I do wrong this time?" She pondered.“All I did was to mingle with the guests. I thought I should get to know and talk to

The dining room glowed with the light from the chandelier. Beautiful chinaware and golden ware were set on the table. Ariel added the finishing touches by placing fresh lilies in the center of the table and surrounding it with lighted candles. Luna stood at the corner of the room and watched Ariel do what she knew how to do best. Jasper walked in with a plain expression on his face, his hands fixed in his pockets as he strolled to one of the seats at the dining table and sat comfortably. Luna followed suit, but she sat opposite Jasper. Sophia walked into the room like royalty, her eyes scanning the details of the setup of the dining. She curved her small lips and smirked, nodding her head simultaneously in approval.“At least someone in this house understands the importance of presentation. You've done well, Ariel," Sophia mentioned as she sank into the chair at the head of the table.“Thank you, Mrs. Mason. I wanted everything to look perfect for your first dinner here after a very

Luna was shocked to hear Jasper's voice; she never expected he'd come to his study that night. She quickly closed the journal, clutched it to her chest, then turned to face him.“Are you dumb or what? I just asked you a question.” Jasper asked with a wild look; his veins visibly bulged out as he boiled in anger.“I-I I'm sorry, Jasper; I didn't mean to intrude but—” Luna paused, her hands trembling; she didn't know what to say so as not to piss him off."But what, Luna? What exactly are you doing here?“I… I needed to understand, Jasper. I was confused; so many thoughts came to my head; I felt lost at some point, and I needed answers. I didn't know what came over me, but I felt I could get answers here.” Luna let it all out; the words poured from her heart.“You needed answers? Answers to what exactly? Jasper asked coldly.“I'm sorry, Jasper, but I found this in your drawer." Luna moved sideways and dropped the journal on the desk. The expression on Jasper's face darkened, he clenched

After finishing breakfast, Luna decided to walk around in the garden. Since she was grounded, the garden has been one of the few places in the mansion where she found solace. She usually went there to calm her nerves, but today she went there to let in the peace she had always longed for. The neatly trimmed flowers and the calm sound of water falling from the central fountain made the environment serene with suited her mode. She strolled along the stone path as her thoughts replayed her encounter with Jasper at breakfast. “Was that all a show or has there sincerely been a shift?” she mumbled beneath her breath.Just then, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of heels clicking against the stones on the path. Luna’s heart sank as she turned and stood face-to-face with Sophia. She might have dealt with Jasper’s cold nature a bit, but Sophia’s torment was not what she needed at the moment. Sophia wore a spotless ivory suit, and her face carried an unreadable look, although there was
