Semua Bab Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Hailey's POV We get into the car and Levi begins the drive back home. It goes on in comfortable silence until my stomach growls loud enough to make me wince. I sneak a glance at Levi, but he seems too focused on the road to notice. At least that is what I think. Without a word, he takes a detour from the usual route home. "This isn't the way home," I say, frowning. "Where are we going?" He doesn't answer. A few minutes later, we pull into a McDonald's drive-thru. "Why are we here?" I ask, confused. "Isn't it obvious?" he replies. A server leans out from the window. "Good afternoon. What would you like to order?" Levi looks at me. "What do you want?" "A double cheeseburger and fries," I reply. "And an iced latte too," I add as an afterthought. It might be late in the afternoon, but there's never a wrong time for coffee. Plus, I missed my usual morning cup of coffee. I was feeling quite nauseous, and the strong smell of coffee only seemed to make it grow worse. Hopeful

Levi's POV I don't know what I was expecting when I left Hailey with the guys. But what I do know, is that I wasn't expecting to come back to her laughing, with a video game controller in hand. I'd heard her voice from the corridor and I just assumed I was hearing wrong or something, but seeing this? I don't know how to feel. Despite her nerves whenever she's introduced to new people, she still manages to blend into any group so easily. And that's one thing I lov—like, about her. I stay by the door, not stepping in fully, just watching as she mashes buttons like she’s trying to break the controller. Jonathan, one of the guys, is sitting close—too close. He’s guiding her hands on the controller and leans in to whisper something that makes her giggle. A flare of jealousy hits me hard. She can laugh and flirt with anyone she wants, and there’s nothing I can do to stop her. Resisting the urge to walk over there and throw him off the couch, I remain where I am, trying not to be tha

Levi's POV One perk of being your own boss is that you get to take a day off without having to answer to anyone. That's not the case for me.My plan for today was to stay home and relax. But of course, things never go that smoothly.Just as I was starting to settle in and relax, Dad called, claiming he needed something from the office. He's always got the wrong timing. I’m convinced the man has some kind of radar for detecting when I’m finally in a good mood.I sigh as I pull into my designated parking spot. With a deep breath, I grab my phone and laptop off the passenger seat and step out of the car, heading inside.Halfway to the building, I notice someone approaching from the other side.Well, look who it is. Jake doesn't spot me, too buried in his phone. A smirk tugs at my lips. When he finally tucks his phone away, there's a deep frown on his face, which only deepens when he sees me. "Good morning," he grumbles, brushing past me. "Jake," I call, just before he slips throug

"I got it. Why don't you take this instead." I trade the bottle for two eggs.She collects them and walks over to the counter, seemingly relieved that she didn't have to do much work. I grab the remaining ingredients from the fridge and close the door before going to join her. Once everything’s on the counter, I mimic her stance, with my hands on my hips. "Now what?" She's so cute, standing like a little boss in the large kitchen. I decide to let her do her own thing so she feels comfortable around me. She seems like a quiet girl, and if being in charge here gets her out of her shell, then I'm willing to let her instruct me. "You have to put me on the counter first. I can't see anything from down here."Oh, right. I forgot. She'd probably been staring at the marble tiles all this time. I laugh and lift her up gently. Then, I repeat my question. She places her hand under her chin, tapping thoughtfully. "Uncle Lev always washes his hands first. Daddy says dirt makes us sick and

Levi's POV They had to be ganging up on me. I know it. It was like some plan or something. I know Hailey and Millie had gotten comfortable with each other, but I didn't expect it to be this close— close enough to cheat their way into winning me in a game I've never lost. I groan as I drop my cards down on the table. "I give up. You guys are cheating." The two girls giggle across from me. "Are you upset, Uncle Levi?" Millie asks, tipping her head, and giving me her cutest puppy dog eyes. I'm not falling for it though. Meanwhile, Hailey doesn't have the shame to cover their act. "Don't mind him. He's just a sore loser." "No, I'm not. You both cheated." Millie snickers. My god. Hailey's got her on her side now. I should've suspected something when they teamed up against me, and when Millie kept insisting she had to be with Hailey. I didn't know the "girls supporting girls" thing also covered cheating. Now I wish I had a little boy on my team. I fold my arms and lean back on th
