Semua Bab The Billionaire I Married: Bab 41 - Bab 50

When Kate got home, Fredrick told her that Tony was in the library. She marched there and found him reclining on his favorite wing backed chair, reading Twelfth Night by Shakespeare.“Oh, you’re back,” he said cheerfully when he saw Kate. However, when he noticed her sour countenance, he became worried.“What happened?” He asked her.“Duchess happened!” Kate replied irritably. “She invited me to that dumb tea party just to humiliate me.”Kate went on to tell Tony everything that happened during the high tea, including the rude comments made by Penelope Green, and the general atmosphere of pure disrespect in the gathering.“I am so sorry you experienced that,” Tony said sympathetically. “I’ll have a word with Duchess about it tomorrow.”“No, please don’t,” Kate said quickly.“Why not?” Tony asked her. “She owes you an

Tony was livid after Athena left. He marched straight to his study to call Duchess on the phone and give her a piece of his mind.He was so angry that Kate could hear his voice through the closed door. She’d never heard him raise his voice on anyone like that before.When Tony came out of his study, he still looked irritated. Kate didn’t know whether to speak to him or just quietly head upstairs, so as not to annoy him further.“Sorry about that,” he said apologetically. “I promise you, if that woman ever comes near you again, I’ll have her arrested for harassment.”“Which woman? Your daughter?” Kate ventured.Tony chuckled and said, “Of course, not. I was talking about Duchess Ryland.”“I knew you were,” said Kate with a chuckle. And then her expression became sober.“Thank you for sticking up for me,” she said softly.“Don’t

Kate had never freaked out this much in her life. She screamed Tony’s name and shook him violently to no avail. Adonis yelled at her to stop but she ignored him.Kate’s wailing eventually drew the attention of the domestic staff, who all came running to find out what was going on.With their help, Tony was carried out of the mansion into Adonis’ weird-looking Bugatti. According to him, it would take the ambulance forever to arrive at the house, so driving Tony to the hospital was faster.Unfortunately, the vehicle was too cramped to fit Tony in the back seat.“This is a very impractical car,” Kate complained. “Why on earth would you buy such a tiny vehicle that squishes its passenger inside?”“Well, forgive me for not considering using it for an emergency trip to the hospital when I bought it,” Adonis retorted sarcastically.“Ugh!” Kate groaned impatiently and asked the staff

“What is it, Tony?” Kate asked fearfully.“I have a tumor in my brain,” Tony announced gravely.Kate gasped and covered her mouth with her palm. She withdrew her other hand from Tony’s and leaned back in her chair.“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about it before,” Tony continued sadly. “I’ve been doing so well for months that I thought I was recovering.”“Oh, my goodness,” Kate gasped. “Tony, how could you keep something this serious a secret from me? Was this why you married me? So, you can die suddenly and make me a young widow?”“No, Kate. Believe me, that was not my intention,” Tony explained.“Do your children know about it?” Kate asked him.“No, and I do not intend to tell them,” Tony said firmly.“Why not?” Kate asked.“Because they would convince the board of directors

“Welcome back, Mr and Mrs DaCosta,” Fredrick greeted them cheerfully when they got home.“Thank you, old boy,” said Tony. “It feels good to be back home.”“I agree,” said Kate.When they got into Kate’s suite, Tony saw that the adjoining door was open.“It seems someone has been in here during our absence,” he said.“No, that was me,” Kate told him. “I went in there yesterday morning to look for you.”“Oh… right,” said Tony. “I must have forgotten to lock the door the night before.”“You don’t need to keep locking the door,” said Kate. “We should both have free access to each other’s suite, don’t you think?”“Are you sure?” Tony asked.“Yes, I’m sure, Tony. We don’t need that much privacy between us anymore,” said Kate.
