Married To The Grouchy Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

The next morning, Kristin woke up to find Richard sitting beside her, watching her like a soap opera. Feeling unexpectedly shy, she covered her face with the duvet. "Since when did my wife become so shy?" Richard asked with a smile, recalling that last night had been the best of his life. He finally felt he had broken through his emotional walls. "Aren’t you going to leave for work?" she asked from beneath the duvet. "No, not after having a steamy night with my beautiful wife." Kristin smiled under the duvet but remained hesitant to show her face. "Forevermore," Richard called gently, but Kristin only tightened the duvet around her. "If you don’t look at me, I’ll come under the duvet and keep you busy all day." Kristin sat up, revealing her face. "Since when did you become so corrupt? Are you still the Mr. Grouchy I married?" she asked, her tone light but curious. Richard chuckled. "Just because I keep my distance from women doesn’t mean I don’t know a few things. I just pr

Romina walked home, one step after another, her heart breaking from the words Luke had said to her. It wasn’t that she was being clingy; she just couldn’t stop herself from thinking about him. It wasn’t her first time falling in love, but it was the first time she loved someone so deeply that she couldn’t go a day without seeing Luke. That’s why she went to the library to see him. When she got home, Kristin was about to leave after visiting her parents’ house. Kristin quickly rushed to her when she saw the tear-streaks on her face. "What’s wrong, Romina? Why are you crying?" she asked, concern clear in her voice. Romina looked at Kristin, tears falling from her eyes. "Why didn’t you tell me he was married?" "Who?" "Luke," Romina choked out between sobs. "Your buddy, Luke." "Wait, he’s the same man you said you wanted to marry? I thought when Luke came here days ago, you denied having a crush on him," Kristin asked. "I lied. Luke is the man I told you about," she sniffled. "Y

"Really? Your dad is one step ahead in finding his daughter?" Kristin asked as she dried Richard's hair with a hair dryer. He had just taken a bath, and Kristin offered to help. Kathryn was with her grandparents."Yes," Richard replied."How do you feel about it?" she inquired."I'm happy. After twenty long years, they’re finally one step closer to finding Adriana.""Your dad once told me about her and even showed me a picture. I can’t wait to see her. I wonder what she looks like.""Maybe when Ophelia finds her daughter, she'll stop being a thorn in my side," Richard said."She must’ve been so mean to you," Kristin sympathised."Yes, she was. Growing up, she mistreated me, but my mom's treatment was even worse.""If by chance you see your mom again, what would you do? Just curious," Kristin asked."I have nothing but resentment for her. I’m still searching, and once I find her, it’ll be payback time," Richard said, his eyes darkening with every word.Kristin put down the hair dryer

As they always held their gathering every last Tuesday of the month, Cecelia’s college friends flocked around her, drawn to the blue moon Josephine ring she was wearing. "It’s so beautiful, Cecelia." "I love it." "How can Luke afford such a necklace?" "He loves me and would go to any length to get me what I want," Cecelia lied. Every expensive piece of jewelry she wore came from her affairs with Lewis. "Are you sure it’s Luke who got you that ring?" Tamara asked, jealousy evident in her voice. For the past few months, Cecelia had been the center of attention at every gathering, and she hated it. Cecelia smiled mockingly and said, "Why? Do you think your husband is the only one capable of buying expensive gifts?" "I’m just curious. Luke is only a personal assistant. Even if he works at the most luxurious hotel in Las Vegas, only those higher up can afford such rings. Or maybe you’re cheating on your husband just to show off to me." Cecelia clenched her fists. "I’m not cheating

Cecelia shook her head as she crawled toward Luke, heartbroken. "Please, Luke, don’t do this to me. Don’t divorce me. I love you so much!" she cried. Luke scoffed, letting out a painful sigh. "You love me? Is this how you show love—by cheating on me? I’m a man, Cecelia! I get tempted every day by women who throw themselves at me, but I always push them away because I love you so much! So much that I wouldn’t even dare hold another woman’s hand. And you—when I confessed to you that Natalie kissed me, you got angry at me! It makes me hate you so much right now!" Luke raged, his hand raised as if to slap her, but he stopped himself. Clenching his fists, he slammed them into the wall. "I’m sorry. I was tempted. Tamara always shows off at our gatherings, always making fun of me for marrying a common personal assistant. I had to do something. That’s why I approached Lewis, and told him we should be in a mutually beneficial relationship. I’m sorry," Cecelia sobbed. "So you were asha
