Lahat ng Kabanata ng MY EX-HUSBAND BETRAYED ME, BILLIONAIRE SAVED ME: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

NATHALIE’S POV-We arrived in the dining room to find Linda, Donna, and Edwin setting the table. Seeing us, they stopped what they were doing and exchanged mischievous grins.“We’ll eat in the kitchen.” Edwin said and they all left in an instant. He set Brianna down, pulled out a chair, and then pulled out the chair next to her for me. He then picked Brianna up again to place her in her seat, and we all started eating dinner together.We had a great dinner. Brianna told Sir Calix about what we had done all day, as Brianna described it. Sir Calix carefully looked at and understood what his daughter was describing, most of the time I gave him an idea of what Brianna’s descriptions meant. And after we finished dinner, we went to Brianna’s room and opened the gifts Sir Calix had bought.I was speechless at the sheer amount of paper, crayons, and colored pencils Calix had bought. Some of the crayon colors were new to me–I didn’t even know they existed! And the stacks of bond paper? Enoug

NATHALIE’S POV-Sir Calix gently grabbed both of my arms and switched our positions. The tables had turned; now he was hovering above me, one of his legs nestled intimately between my thighs. His gaze was intense, his lips curved in a smile that danced in his silvery-gray eyes.He shifted, supporting himself on his left elbow, and with his right hand, he traced the curve of my cheek. His voice was a low murmur as he asked, “What did you say? Please say it one more time?”“I love you, sir–”Before I could even mention his name, he claimed my lips with his gently quick kiss followed by five times in a row.“I love you–”I told him again that I thought this time I would mention his name, but before I could finish what I was going to say, he kissed me on the lips again in a row. This time, every time his lips met mine, there was a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, adding a playful warmth to each kiss.“Sir!” I chided, but my voice was light and teasing, betraying my amusement.“

.NATHALIE’S POV-“What’s going on here?” Esther asked from not far away, coming towards her. “Why are you screaming, Nathalie? Did Calix do something to you....”Esther’s walking slowed down as she caught up with us. Her speech also slowed down until she couldn’t continue what she was going to say as she noticed Brianna.“What...” she said, speechless.“That’s my daughter’s voice, right?” Sir Calix asked, smiling through tears.“Yes, that’s Brianna’s voice,” Esther answered, tears welling in her eyes. “Even though I’m old, I remember her voice very well from when I used to talk to her.”I couldn’t tear my gaze away from Brianna. A smile stretched across my face as her voice filled the room. Even amidst her sobs and whimpers, a thread of calmness lingered in her voice, like a gentle melody struggling to be heard above a storm.Esther looked at us and suddenly her smile disappeared. “But what are you doing?” she almost shouted. “Brianna is already hiccupping from crying so much! You

NATHALIE’S POV-“Baby...”I didn’t continue my question; instead, I hugged her and gently rubbed her back.“Nanny Nathalie is always here for you.”She wrapped her arms around my neck. I allowed her to stay in that position, and after a short while, she released the hug.I examined her face while gently wiping her cheek that was wet with teardrops.“Don’t be afraid to come to me, especially to Daddy Calix, if someone is bullying you. And never forget what I told you: Daddy Calix will protect you in any situation because he loves you.”She didn’t nod or shake her head; she lowered her gaze.I silently took a deep breath and stopped wiping her cheek.I held one of her hands. “Shall we go out of the room and have breakfast?” I changed the subject.This time she answered by nodding her head.I think she’s avoiding talking about or afraid to talk about or confront the issue of her speaking.I stood up, not letting go of her hand, and then we went out of the room.“Baby, after we finish c

NATHALIE’S POV-“No one will say where Brianna is?” Ma’am Veronica asked impatiently.“We’ll call Calix first.” Esther replied.“Why are you calling Calix about this matter?” Mrs. Wilda Frost asked. “Can’t we see our granddaughter without calling him? Brianna is our granddaughter, we also have the right to see her whenever we want.” she added shortly.Esther remained unfazed by the mother and daughter, who were clearly losing patience with us. Mr. Ernest Frost, on the other hand, was simply waiting, looking impatient.“Calix is ​​the father and he has more rights to Brianna.” Esther said calmly. “Please, have a seat while I call him.” Without waiting for the mother and daughter to reply, she turned her back on them and faced Lily. “Please prepare some drinks and snacks for them while I call Calix.”Lily nodded and went to the dining room.Esther glanced quickly at the Frost’s and then at me. “Take care of them first, you can do what you know is right.”I was surprised by her words, a
