Semua Bab Nelson de Vedra: The Outcast Billionaire: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Jane was one of the rebound relationships I had, just to forget about Dorry back then. But no matter how many rebound girlfriends I had, none of them could erase what I still felt for Dorry.“You’re so self-centered, Nelson as if we never had anything between us,” she said, rubbing her belly.I just scratched my head and smiled, though it was a sarcastic smile. Out of all my rebounds, she was the one who lasted the longest.“In fairness, though,” she added, playfully hitting me on the arm. “You’re still handsome. You’re even more handsome now. And it seems like you smell better too, compared to before.”I scratched my head again, giving her a forced smile. I wasn’t in the mood to chat. Even Jac, who had been quiet beside me, rubbed the back of his head uncomfortably. We were about to leave, but Jane blocked our way.“You’re so quiet. How have you been, Nelson? If I had known we’d meet again, I wouldn’t have made you my wedding godfather. You could’ve been the godfather of my second ba

My ears were ringing. I could now hear Dorry’s soft giggles like she was being tickled. Whoever was with her inside didn’t seem to be holding back their flirting."Open your mouth. This is sweet, like me.""Stop it, you’re so flirty. Someone might hear you, and it’s—”“Oh, really now!” I barked as I flung the door open. Dorry’s eyes widened for a moment but quickly turned into a scowl. And to my annoyance, she didn’t say a word. Her eyes, though, were sharp, as if trying to shoo me away, but she kept sneaking glances at the man with her, who, oddly enough, looked completely unbothered by my presence.He didn’t even turn around. Sure, he flinched when I entered, but now he was back to peeling an apple, shrugging as if nothing happened.I wanted to keep my cool today. I didn’t want to start a fight with Dorry because I needed to talk to her and apologize.But damn it! This?! This is what I walk in on? Them flirting like that? What husband wouldn’t feel their blood boil? Who wouldn’t get

"Sir Nelson,” Jac said calmly, signaling the barista before sitting beside me.“Why did you leave your group?” I asked drowsily, picking up the shot glass and downing the kamikaze in one gulp.“Because Sir Diego asked me to keep an eye on you, sir. He’s afraid you might drink the whole bar dry.”I chuckled. “Diego’s really something, isn’t he? Still as thoughtful as ever. No matter how much I tried to convince him to stay and drink with me, he wouldn’t budge. Said he didn’t want to upset his wife. Good for them. They still love each other so much.” I let out a deep sigh. “I envy them.”“By the way, sir, I apologize for not telling you that the person I contacted to watch over Ms. Dorry was Sir Diego. I wanted it to be a surprise.”I smiled again. I’d been smiling a lot, but behind each one was a sadness that felt like it was eating me alive.“The way you’re apologizing, it’s like you committed some grave offense. What you did was actually great—I have someone to share my burdens with

(Nelson)I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face as I watched Dorry sleep soundly beside me. My hand had been gently caressing her cheek for a while now, and my lips had pressed against her soft skin more times than I could count.I wasn’t sure if she was pretending to be asleep or if she was just truly exhausted.After the unforgettable night we shared, and after cursing at me more times than I could count, Dorry had pretended to sleep. No matter how much I coaxed her, kissed her, or tried to wake her, she refused to react.Which—I understood.She was too embarrassed to face me, too ashamed to talk to me because she had failed to hold on to her anger. The same anger that had melted away the moment I touched her, and kissed her.Until, eventually, she really did fall asleep.So, I carried her here to the bedroom.Had I known that getting drunk would have led to something this good, I would have done it a long time ago. Maybe then, we wouldn’t have spent so much time fighting.This morni

I couldn’t stop smiling as I walked toward the gate. Not only did I look like a fool grinning to myself, but I also felt like I was floating. My heart felt so light as if I were walking on air. The heavyweight I had been carrying inside me for so long had vanished, replaced by an overwhelming sense of joy.Before stepping out of the gate, I turned back to look at Dorry, who was still standing on the balcony. She looked just as dazed as I felt."See you later, my love? Wait for me, okay?"My words came with a wave and a smile, and I couldn’t help but place a hand over my chest. It felt like something was tickling inside me. She smiled—something she hadn’t done even once since we saw each other again. I let out a deep breath, over and over. My happiness was overflowing. I couldn’t explain it—I just felt so incredibly happy.After all the fights, the arguments, and the resentment between me and Dorry, there was now a chance for us to make things right. She might not have fully forgiven m
