Semua Bab Faking Forever With The Billionaire : Bab 171 - Bab 180

After the kiss, Alina slowly pulled away to catch her breath. Her chest rose and fell gently as she looked at Aiden. She didn’t understand why her heart was beating so fast. She didn’t even remember him… yet something about him felt warm and familiar.Aiden’s eyes lingered on her face for a moment. But instead of forcing anything, he took a quiet step back and spoke softly."Everyone’s waiting for you at home," he said. "I’ll be staying longer… until every memory you lost finds its way back. And if you don’t mind," he paused, looking into her eyes, "I’d like to invite you to my suite one day so we can talk properly. Just us."Before she could answer, he brought out his phone and asked carefully, "Can I have your number before that?"Alina stared at him for a second. "Aren’t you… moving a little too fast?" she asked, a bit shy. "I don’t even remember you."Her words made Aiden pause for a moment. He slowly lowered his phone and blinked. "I’m sorry," he whispered with a small, almost aw

The morning after everything was finally out in the open, Aiden refused to let Alina lift a finger."Sit down," he said when she tried to join him in the kitchen.She pouted slightly. "I can help... after all it's exercise."He pointed at the chair gently. "Don’t argue with your husband. Sit, alright?"She laughed softly and did as he said, watching him move around. He wore a plain black T-shirt and joggers, sleeves slightly rolled up, his expression focused as he stirred the pot on the stove. The smell of food slowly filled the entire suite."You’ve gotten better," she teased."Better? I was always this good," he replied with a small grin.When he placed the dish in front of her, it was simple but warm....exactly the way she liked it. He leaned forward and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Eat well. You need your strength."She couldn’t help smiling. She missed this. She missed him.After that meal, during noon, Aiden took her shopping...nothing too loud, just a few outfits f

The night was warm and calm, carrying the sound of laughter as the wedding party moved from the reception hall to the Blackwood mansion.After the reception, Jesse, Lorraine, and Johnny followed the family home where the merriment continued. A few close guests also came along, unwilling to let the night end too soon, especially the Hartmann who were present.The garden behind the mansion sparkled with warm lights. Soft music played while people ate, drank, and danced. The atmosphere was filled with love, joy, and the quiet kind of happiness that made everything feel perfect.Lorraine was already tipsy...no, more than tipsy. She was laughing uncontrollably, her cheeks flushed a soft pink. Mandy laughed at the sight of her, clapping her hands."Oh my goodness, look at you," Mandy said between laughs.Lorraine raised her glass as if she’d just won a prize. "I’m fine. I'm not drunk." she said, wobbling slightly.Alina shook her head helplessly before walking over to Jesse. She leaned clos

Lorraine leaned against the door with her hands on her chest, her heart pounding like a drum. Her cheeks were already burning from embarrassment.He was the last person she expected to see, but now, he was right in front of her door."What was I thinking?" She thought. "Why did I kiss him?" She added, ruffling her hair.She let out a quiet groan and buried her face in her palms afterwards. But then came the second knock."Lorraine," Jesse’s calm voice came through the door. "Is everything alright? Are you okay? You didn’t have to slam the door on me." He said. She stiffened, biting her lip. “I—I didn’t slam it… I just… uh… it closed on its own.” She bit her lip again, embarrassed by how stupid that excuse sounded.On the other side, Jesse chuckled softly. “Alright… I’ll agree it did,” he said, sounding amused. “Now, can you please open the door? I brought you something.”Her heart jumped again. Slowly, she turned around, took a deep breath, and opened the door just a little. Jesse st

After a few minutes of laughter and teasing at the table, Jesse leaned back in his chair, looked at Jessica, and asked softly,"By the way, where are Mr. and Mrs. Hartmann? I didn’t see them when I got back last night."Jessica looked up from her plate. "Oh, they got a call early this morning. Something came up at home, so they left right away."Jesse frowned, "They left? Without even calling me?" He shook his head with a sigh. "Sometimes I don’t even know if they’re really my parents. What kind of parents leave without saying a word to their son?"Jessica rolled her eyes playfully. "Stop whining like a child, Jesse. They’re your parents. You’re just being dramatic."Alina chuckled softly, watching Jesse’s little pout. "I think he just misses them," she teased.Jesse made a face at the comment then exhaled and dropped the topic, pretending to focus on his food.After that, the table grew quiet, filled only with the soft clinks of cutlery and the sound of Mandy occasionally humming.
