All Chapters of Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire : Chapter 171 - Chapter 177

Skylar I woke up feeling lighter than I had in days. There was no weight on my chest, no storm in my heart. Just quiet. A calm sort of quiet I hadn’t felt in a while.Yesterday, Cole and I finally sat down and talked—really talked. About Amelia. About the whole mess. About the conflict that had been growing between us and the arrangement he had made in the house without discussing it with me first.He opened up and told me everything. How the doctor had advised him to send Amelia to a psychiatric facility. How he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Not because he wanted her around, but because something in him still felt responsible for her.And I saw it clearly for the first time—he cared about Amelia, yes. But not in the way people whispered about. Not in the way I feared. His care wasn’t romantic or even emotional in that sense. It was the kind of care you have for someone who once mattered but now simply needs help. It was more like the burden of someone who didn’t know how to walk

ColeI sat at the head of the long glass table, looking at the two people seated across from me—Mr. and Mrs. Langston.

I kept my answers clear and steady, but inside, I was honestly impressed by how sharp and focused the Langstons were. Even though they were older—probably in their seventies—they were sharp-minded and still

Cole It was already dark when I stepped into the house, but I couldn’t stop the big smile on my face. I was late today because I went to pick up the teardrop necklace. The designer had finally finished it. When I first laid eyes on the necklace, I was completely amazed. The black gem in the middle wasn’t just beautiful—it was unique. It had this deep, rich glow, almost like the midnight sky when the moon hides behind the clouds. The way the light bounced off it made it look like little stars were trapped inside. Everything about it screamed rare and special.I even took the extra jewelry set the designer had made from the necklace scraps. They looked nice and shiny, and though I didn’t know who to give them to yet. All I knew right now was that I couldn’t wait to see Skylar’s beautiful, happy smile. But I didn’t expect the first thing I would hear when I got home to be yelling.“If you ever try something like this again, you’ll be packing your things and leaving the next second!” S
