I Married My Billionaire Ex のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

THIRD POV"Are you ready?" Ricky asked his wife and daughter seriously as they prepared to leave for the Sandoval mansion.Shiela descended the stairs with a broad smile on her face. She was wearing a maroon dress paired with 4-inch heels, her hair styled and makeup flawless. She had meticulously prepared for this dinner because she was finally meeting Chase's grandmother. She will make sure that the woman will like her for her grandson."Behave yourselves, both of you. We can’t afford to embarrass ourselves in front of Mrs. Sandoval," Ricky added sternly.Minda chuckled. “When have we ever embarrassed you? It was always Emerald staining your name,” she said bluntly.“This will be the last time. Shiela, I want you to start forgetting Chase. Let’s leave him and your sister alone,” Ricky said flatly.Ricky had spent days thinking about his decision. He realized he had been unfair to his daughter Lexi and didn’t want to force Shiela onto Chase anymore. Forcing their marriage could only l

LEXI'S POV"Lex," Chase called out to me.The three of us were now in Chelsea’s room. But Chelsea had gone downstairs to grab some snacks, leaving me staring out the window. From here, I could see the garden where Grandma Mirasol and Shiela were talking."I think my sister is badmouthing me to your grandmother," I said, my voice tinged with worry.Chase let out a deep breath. I felt his arms wrap around my waist, his chin resting lightly on my shoulder."You don’t have to worry about Grandma. You showed her who you truly are six years ago," he said seriously.I smiled as memories of the past came flooding back. "The world is really small. To think that one of the reasons I was able to finish school was because of your grandmother. She’s so kind, Grey. I am seeing my late grandmother to her.""You don’t need to worry about her. She’s on our side," he reassured me.That’s when I realized something. I turned to face him, still wrapped in his arms."Wait, does she know about our agreement

CHASE'S POV9 years ago...It was the first day of school, and I was already on campus early. While walking, my friend Jay suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. He is my teammate in basketball and has been my classmate since junior high school.“I heard there were a lot of transferees this year,” he began.That wasn’t surprising. Many schools in our area only went up to junior high, so most students transferred here for senior high.“Stop it. You won’t get anything from it,” I replied flatly. I know Jay too well—he has a thing for transferee girls who match his type.“Did you know the sister of your persistent admirer is studying here now?” he added, walking beside me.I didn’t respond because a girl caught my attention. I saw her trip and fall flat on the ground, almost kissing the pavement. The laughter of the crowd filled the air, and I could only shake my head.“She could’ve been pretty, but she’s nerdy and clumsy,” Jay commented, also witnessing what happened.Honestly, I hated thi

LEXI'S POV"Thank you for agreeing to meet me."I offered a faint smile. Here I was, sitting in a popular restaurant after receiving a message from my father. He wanted to talk to me before Chase’s family formally came to ask for my hand in marriage. I didn’t hesitate to agree because this would be the first time we could talk one-on-one since I left his house."Why did you want to talk to me?" was all I managed to ask."I wanted to personally apologize for everything—what your sister did, and all my shortcomings as your father," he said sincerely.I bowed my head and took a deep breath to keep my tears from falling."I only now realize that in my desire to make amends to my wife and Shiela for my past mistakes, I neglected your feelings. I didn’t want to show favoritism towards you because I knew it would hurt them more. I also thought, like your mother, you were strong and independent enough to handle things on your own.I assumed they accepted you. It was only recently that I learn

LEXI'S POVThe days flew by so fast that I barely noticed. I have been swamped with work at the office since month-end was approaching. Chase was also busy with their company, so we entrusted the wedding preparations to an organizer. Chase assured me there was nothing to worry about as he hired the best event organizer in the country.Savina, on the other hand, teased me, saying I was the only bride she’d seen who wasn’t stressed about wedding planning. The truth is, I had no idea what our wedding would look like. I never even met the organizer. I felt awkward asking Chase about it since the one time I did, he simply said it would be the grandest wedding ever.Our wedding became the talk of the nation. The proposal video Chase planned went viral, so people eagerly anticipated the event. Adding to the buzz, TAC Group of Companies officially introduced Chase and Chelsea as the heirs of their massive empire. Because of this, I often felt eyes watching my every move. Whether entering or l
