All Chapters of I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis: Chapter 381 - Chapter 390

The following days passed quietly.I rested in the ward, and whenever I had the energy, I went to see Maple and Captain Crunch.It turned out Ashton had been right. Every time I visited, if I didn’t focus on Captain Crunch, she’d start crying. I had no choice but to stay close to her, while poor Maple was left on his own.Every time I went back to the ward, guilt settled in again. I felt like I was failing my son.A week later, when my body had recovered enough and the twins were stable, we were discharged and went home.Once we moved into the villa, things became even more obvious.The moment we ignored her, Captain Crunch would burst into loud, dramatic wailing. I couldn’t help feeling sorry for Maple, who was calm and quiet no matter what, so I naturally fussed over him more.Ashton, however, always picked up his daughter first. Captain Crunch would rest contentedly in his arms, smiling with pure satisfaction.

I sighed, shoulders slumping. ‘Forget it. Why am I even asking you? Still, even if I’m not a great mum right now, I’ll work on it.’Mickey just kept staring at me calmly, silent as ever.I smiled, picked him up, and gave him a gentle cuddle.After a while, the bedroom door opened and Ashton came in, holding a freshly changed Minnie in his arms.I set Mickey back down and turned to him. ‘Let me hold her too.’Ashton hesitated for a second, studying me, but said nothing. He stepped forward and handed the baby over.‘Minnie, it’s Mummy,’ I said softly, taking her into my arms.The next second came a wail.My face fell instantly.‘Minnie, I’m your mum, I gave birth to you. How can you not let me hold you?’‘Waaah!’I stared down at her, stunned.‘Better let me take her,’ Ashton said with a sigh. He lifted her

It was one of those rare weekday afternoons when Ashton didn’t have to go into work.The kids were in the other room, and for the first time in weeks, we had the bedroom to ourselves.To celebrate, he decided...He leaned in slowly, closing the distance bit by bit.I could feel the heat in his breath, see the desire flickering in his eyes.Finally, our lips met.Just then, the sharp cry of two babies pierced through from the other room.Instantly, we both sat up and leapt out of bed.‘Mum’s coming, Mum’s coming…’The sound of their wailing tugged at something deep inside me, twisting my chest until it hurt. I didn’t feel calm again until I had one of them in my arms.In the nursery, Minnie and Mickey had both woken up and were crying like the world was ending. I scooped up Minnie first—she always had the fiercer temper—while Ashton took Mickey, who was usually

Five years later‘Daddy!’‘Mummy!’The two little troublemakers flung the door open and shouted at the top of their lungs.Ashton and I were caught off guard, scrambling to get up.Our faces were flushed, hair and collars a mess, and there were several very visible hickeys on my neck.We both froze in mortified silence.Minnie and Mickey stared at us with wide eyes, rooted to the spot.Minnie scrunched up her face. ‘Daddy, are you biting Mummy?’Mickey stared at her. ‘What? Biting? He’s clearly kissing her.’‘He’s biting,’ Minnie insisted. ‘Look, her neck’s all swollen. That must hurt.’Mickey sighed. ‘That just means Daddy was kissing her a bit too hard.’The daddy in question was standing there with an icy look in his eyes.I cleared my throat and hurried to fix my clothes as I walked over,

I swam towards her at once. ‘What’s wrong?’She threw her arms around me. ‘Mummy, are there sharks here? What if a shark comes and eats us?’I couldn’t help laughing.I tapped her nose lightly. ‘Silly girl. There’s a protective net down below. Sharks can’t get through.’‘Really?’ Her eyes were still wide. ‘But what if they break the net?’‘They won’t,’ I said. ‘And even if one tried, the staff would spot it straight away.’She didn’t look entirely convinced. She just held onto me tighter, her little brow furrowed.Ashton checked his watch. ‘Time to get lunch.’Minnie practically jumped at the idea of leaving the water, nodding so fast it was a wonder her head didn’t fall off.I was hungry too, so I called Mickey back in from where he’d drifted.Once we’d changed into
