Semua Bab Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong: Bab 181 - Bab 190

Emma sat quietly beside Grandpa in the hospital ward, adjusting the blanket around his legs with gentle care.She didn't really have much to do today at the hospital and would prefer to spend her time with Grandpa until she was ready to leave work for the day.Grandpa was sipping his tea, watching Emma with soft, grateful eyes. Though she was dressed in her doctor’s coat, her role had long since shifted from physician to his cherished granddaughter.The door opened with a light creak, and Dr. Allen stepped inside, clipboard in hand and a warm smile on his face.“Good morning, Grandpa Lawson,” he greeted cheerfully, stepping closer to the bed. “How are we feeling today?”Grandpa chuckled. “Tired of these four walls, if I’m being honest.”Dr. Allen let out a chuckle, then his eyes flickered to Emma. “Dr. Morgan,” he said, tilting his head in respect. “And how is your patient doing today?”Emma smiled as she stood. “Quite well, actually. I did a thorough check earlier. His vitals are sta

Emma fell back into the chair, her face pale, her hands trembling. She felt like the ground had disappeared beneath her. Her lips parted, but no words came. The photo of David as a little boy still trembled in her hand. The resemblance to Claire was undeniable. Grandpa sat across from her, his expression no longer calm but filled with anger. The warmth from earlier was gone, replaced by disappointment—a deep, cutting kind that came from betrayal by someone he loved."Even if you hated David," he began, his voice low but firm, "Divorced him, left the country and never wanted to see him again... I understood all that, Emma. I even supported you. But to hide a child? To hide Claire from us? That... that is cruel."Emma lowered her head. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears. She couldn’t even look up. Her chest ached with guilt, like someone had carved it open. Her hands were clasped together tightly in her lap as she swallowed hard.Where could she even start?There was no excuse she

The soft jazz music played gently in the background of the expensive restaurant, giving the place a calm and classy feel. Allison sat at the table with her friends, smiling elegantly. She lifted her wine glass and took a slow sip. Her white pantsuit hugged her body just right. Small diamond earrings sparkled from her ears, and her dark hair was pulled neatly into a tight, elegant bun.She looked every bit the woman in control.Mitchell had invited her for a casual girls’ night—just a drink and some catching up, she said. Allison almost declined, but something inside her itched to be seen since she hadn't really been going out for a while now.She wanted to remind everyone that she was still the reigning queen of their circle, the same one they wished they were, but could never be. So she accepted the invitation, and here they were, seated together, laughing and enjoying their drinks.They were deep into a conversation about the latest internet gossip when Mitchell clapped her hands

Emma pulled into the school parking lot and parked the car, glancing at the clock. Right on time.She spotted Claire walking toward her, wearing her usual pink backpack and a wide smile. Her ponytail bounced with each step.“Hey, sweetheart,” Emma said, reaching over to open the door for her daughter.“Hi, Mommy,” Claire replied cheerfully, hopping into the back seat and buckling her seatbelt. “I had a good day!”“That’s great. What did you do?”Claire started rattling off bits about her spelling test, a silly game they played during recess, and how someone spilled juice on the lunch table. Emma nodded along, half-listening, her eyes still watching the road as she pulled out of the lot.But then Claire looked around, frowning slightly. “Why didn’t Aunty Sophie come to pick me up today?”Emma glanced at her daughter through the rearview mirror. “Oh, Sophie went hiking. Remember? She mentioned it earlier this week. She’s gone for a few days.”Claire tilted her head thoughtfully. “Ohhh,

Sophie bent forward, hands on her knees, panting heavily. But her face wasn’t tired—it was lit up with joy. The wind tugged at her loose strands of hair, and her cheeks glowed from the hike. Her chest rose and fell with deep breaths, but the wide smile on her lips made it clear: this had been one of the best things she’d done in a long time.She looked over her shoulder at Gavin, her eyes dancing with excitement. “So? How was it? Be honest!” she asked, almost bouncing where she stood.Gavin grinned and stepped forward. He cupped her face and kissed her softly. “Honestly? This has been really nice. I’m glad we came out here. Just the two of us.”Sophie’s smile widened, her heart fluttering at his words. She touched his chest gently and said, “I have to take a picture. Emma’s not going to believe I actually convinced you to hike with me.”As she pulled out her phone and tapped the camera app, Gavin’s smile slowly disappeared. His lips curled into a scowl, and he let out a silent groan.
