Lahat ng Kabanata ng An Affair with the Billionaire: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

While dropping her luggage to the ground, Emerald grabbed Alaric's wrist and asked, "How's the wound on your waist?"Emerald's ears turned red as she asked, clearly embarrassed. It wasn't common for a woman to ask a man about his monthly visitor.She gently stroked the hem of Alaric's shirt, her voice faltering. "It's been a long time since..." If she hadn't intervened, if she hadn't experienced it, nothing would have changed in her life.Since ancient times, living simply was easy, and indulging was even easier, but it's hard to maintain the same condition. If you're used to eating delicious food at the foot of the mountain, who would want to go back up top and start with cabbage?Before Alaric could respond, a little head popped up. "It’s been a long time?"

Alaric knows better than anyone how stunning Emerald’s body is, as he's had plenty of opportunities to admire it with his own hands over the past days and nights. Even now, when he looks at her, his eyes are filled with fearless admiration. The tight swimsuit under the towel shapes Emerald's perfect body, every curve clearly visible. Even though only her arms and legs are exposed, and the swimsuit is plain white without any embellishments, it only heightens his desire more than if she were fully naked. Emerald can feel Alaric’s heated gaze on her, even without looking back, and a subtle smile graces her lips. She stretches her arms and moves with a gentle, careful modesty. Each movement is precise, setting a fire in the man's heart. With a splash, Emerald dives gracefully. Her entry into the water is flawless, and as she sank, she moved with the joy of a fish, quick and lively.When she surfaced, Emerald’s long hair unraveled, swirling around her, and some strands clung to her face. S

The sunlight in the background shone the brightest, casting a golden beam across the blue sea, with schools of fish swimming freely in its warmth.The final destination of that beam was, in fact, a vast carpet of red roses covering the ocean floor.Emerald stood in awe, utterly stunned. She had envisioned countless romantic scenes in her mind, but at this moment, she found herself at a loss for words.The books she had read and the words she had learned over the years seemed inadequate to describe the breathtaking beauty before her.A sea of roses bloomed at the bottom of the ocean, like a divine garden left behind by the gods, or as if someone had laid down a red carpet just for her.It was vibrant and alive, yet only she could see it—a sight that touched Emerald deeply.No one had ever devoted so much time and care to her since she was a child.Although the man's face was hidden by the snorkeling gear, Emerald could still catch a glimpse of his deeply intense eyes through the goggle

“If we live together, you won’t have to be alone every night. I’ll be with you. And if you want, I’ll hold you in any way you like. After all this time, don’t you miss the warmth of my touch?”The memory of the last time he had stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-rise hotel flashed in Emerald's mind. The polished glass mirrored their intertwined figures.The warmth of her breath fogged up the window, leaving behind swirling circles of mist. Playfully, she whispered for him to slow down.She thought, How desperately I miss him...“If we live together, will we kiss each other?” Emerald’s voice was soft and teasing.“Of course,” he replied, his tone steady.“Will you hug me?”“Always.”“Want to warm the bed?”“Definitely.”“Then it’s settled. Once you’ve agreed, there’s no turning back.”After saying this, Emerald leaned forward, capturing his lips with hers.Alaric’s lips were like sweet candy, irresistibly tempting, much like something a child would crave.His body was

Jamilah pointed her finger at Emerald’s face and exclaimed, "Dad, I hate this woman! Tell her to get lost!"Jamilah's words were a challenge, like a twisted version of the famous dilemma: "If your mother and I fall into the water at the same time, who will you save?"Logically, Jamilah was his daughter—heart disease aside, she was a child, and elders were often expected to favor them, even when they were wrong.But that wasn’t fair to Emerald. She was the one being insulted, and it wasn’t right.There is no perfect fairness in the world, and sometimes, things don’t work out as they should.Emerald, not wanting to cause trouble for Alaric, decided to move and said, "It's getting late. You stay with the children for a while. I'll leave first."But the man's large hand grabbed her wrist. Emerald looked at him, confused.Alaric pulled her into his arms, then turned to Jamilah, his expression serious. "Jamilah, I think you owe Teacher Greene an apology. She’s an elder, and she will be your
