Semua Bab The Billionaire's Redemption Game : Bab 61 - Bab 70

CATALINA After Evan and I settled down, we munched our way through the batch of cookies I had just made. Each bite felt sinfully sweet and buttery, and the simple pleasure of watching the child beside me demolish them softened the heaviness pressing on my chest.When the plate was finally empty, I put it away and grabbed my laptop from the second compartment of the bedside drawer. “Hey, do you want to watch some movies?” I asked, keeping my voice light despite the dull ache in my chest. “I have some really cool action ones you might like.”Evan's eyes lingered on the plate, filled with longing as if he was unwilling to accept the fact that the cookies were finally gone. I made a mental note to make a lot more so he could have his fill next time. “Yeah, I'll watch,” he finally mumbled. He looked especially handsome today, dressed in a long-sleeved, checkered shirt tucked neatly into brown trousers, giving him a strangely mature air for his age.I redirected my gaze to the computer,

CATALINAAfter talking, the three of us decided to spend some time admiring the moonlit garden. Victoria told us some of her stories about her youth, how she married into the Knight family and how she endured so many cheating scandals from her husband. When Chyna asked her how she met Theodore's grandfather, Lionel, Victoria let out a small sigh as she began to recall the events. “I met Theodore's grandfather when he came to visit his childhood friend in Petersfield,” she said, smiling as though she was reliving the memories once again. “He was such a sweet and charming gentleman, so we fell in love fast. I had no idea what I was getting myself into at the young age of 18. I thought I was in love.”“How could you bear all his infidelities? How did you do it?” Chyna asked, her voice trembling with raw emotion. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she held Victoria's hands tightly. She had barely just stopped sobbing since discovering that Victoria was dying. Victoria patted her hand t

CATALINAThe next morning, I woke up with a heavy heart. Despite the clear morning sun, my mood was very gloomy and dark when I remembered what transpired between Theodore and I. When I told him to leave, a part of me had hoped that he would refuse my request but he didn't. He couldn't wait to reconcile with his ex-lover, so he left without looking back. “Fuck it,” I murmured, running a hand across my face. My feet dangling from the end of the bed as I pushed back all thoughts about him. “I don't care about him. He can do whatever he wants as long as he finds my son.”Holding onto that new mindset, I dressed up and went down to help the women make breakfast. However, the only person in the kitchen was Madeline who was currently whipping up some pancakes in a frying pan.When she heard the door open, she lifted her head up. Her expression changed slightly when she saw me, but she quickly returned her gaze to the frying pan. “Good morning, Catalina,” she greeted, her voice soft and ge

CATALINAAfter the incident, the family returned to its usual activities. Theodore left for work, while Henrietta and Dorothy made breakfast for the family. No one dared ask me to help, so I stayed in my room, playing with Evan. The maids kept an eye on Madeline as they worked on Henrietta's orders. A nagging suspicion crept that they might try to blame me again, but I had a solid alibi. Theodore forced his mother and aunt to apologize to me after the doctor left, asking them to improve their behavior towards me. “Call me if anything happens at home,” he said, his voice low and smooth. “For now, you can stay with my grandmother or Chyna until I return.”He seemed so genuinely concerned about me before he left. I told myself he was only siding with me this time only because of the terms in the contract. His fierce defense left his mother and aunt speechless, but at the end, they were forced to do his bidding. Back in the room, Evan and I watched a couple of movies before I became r

THEODOREI knew something was wrong the moment I saw Catalina standing in the vineyard. After my busy meeting with the shareholders, I came out of the boardroom to see Conrad waiting for me. The first thought I had was that he was done something bad to Chyna again, but I remembered that I had assigned some staff to keep watch over her. Still, his presence was not something I would happily welcomed but I had no choice. I went straight to my office with him trailing behind. When we sat down, Conrad finally stated his reason for visiting. “I want you to give me a job,” Conrad said. He looked quite haggard and dejected after his fight with Chyna. “I want to make things right between us.”I leaned against my desk, scrutinizing him. “And how do you want to fix it?”Conrad remained silent for a while before dragging a hand across his face. “I don't know, I was hoping you would give me a job. I want to become a responsible person.”I analyzed his words carefully. Conrad had never been nice
