บททั้งหมดของ THE BILLIONAIRE'S REBORN WIFE: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Hearing the siblings bicker on her account, Alicia couldn’t hold back her laughter. She choked on it and coughed deliberately.“Sister-in-law,” Rose called out, worried.Andy poured a glass of water, but when he saw Rose about to hand one to his wife, he abandoned his own and swiftly snatched the one from Rose’s hand.Rose was speechless. The corner of her lips twitched.“Drink up,” Andy said gently, patting Alicia’s back with quiet affection.Watching them, Rose was stunned. Years ago there had been a family rumor that Andy was gay. Even after the news spread that he’d married Catherine, no one really believed it. She herself had expected Andy to struggle with showing love to his wife. Seeing him do so effortlessly now left her amazed.After they finished eating, Andy told his sister, “You should go home. It’s already noon, and your parents will worry.”Rose’s lips twitched again. That was the very excuse she always used to make her escapes. Now her big brother was using it against he

Andy turned and climbed the staircase, leaving Rose speechless at her brother’s decisive behavior.Still unsure what to do, Rose started to pace when the housekeeper slipped close and whispered, “Miss, you should leave. Your brother’s wife left the mansion a few minutes ago, and he isn’t happy about it.”Rose nodded, understanding, and quietly took her leave.Moments later, Andy descended with an expressionless face. Without his wife, the mansion felt hollow.“Sir, dinner is served,” the housekeeper said timidly, afraid he might flare up.“I’ll wait for my wife,” Andy replied, calm but firm.The housekeeper’s mouth twitched. Andy stared blankly at the television while his phone rang nonstop. He didn’t answer a single call. At last, he stood and went back upstairs.The moment he entered their room, Alicia’s scent filled his senses. His cold expression softened, and his gaze drifted to her side of the bed. His lips curved faintly.Then a soft palm covered his eyes.His smile widened. He

Ethan lowered his gaze, guilt etched across his face. “I wish I could,” he murmured. “I regret everything I did to you, Alicia. If I could turn back time, I wouldn’t have listened to Emily. I wouldn’t have done what she wanted.”Alicia folded her arms, feigning confusion. “What did you do? I don’t remember. Remind me.”Hope flickered in Ethan’s eyes. “I knew it. You must have amnesia—or you’ve just forgotten us. We were married once. Childhood sweethearts before that. Come on, let’s go to that café and talk.”Alicia’s expression remained cold, unreadable.Realizing she wouldn’t budge, Ethan clenched his fists to steady himself. “Emily threatened me,” he confessed. “She said she’d kill you and hurt your family if I didn’t do as she said. I was terrified. So I sent you away. I still love you, Alicia. I always have. I think about you every day. I can’t sleep knowing you married someone else.”A firm voice cut through his plea. “Learn to respect marriage,” Andy said, stepping forward. “Yo

Emily forced a smile at Andy, but it didn’t reach her eyes.Andy’s lips curled faintly. The moment Ethan slipped away, Emily followed, marching after him into the restroom.Ethan had just finished splashing water on his face when he turned—and Emily slapped him hard. The crack echoed off the tiles. His jaw clenched as he stared at her, stunned and furious.“How dare you?” Emily snapped, voice rising.Ethan pressed his lips into a tight line.“Ever since Alicia showed up, you’ve been unreasonable and childish,” Emily fired on. “Are you sick of our marriage? If you don’t want me, say it to my face. Stop provoking me with this attitude.”Ethan’s eyes narrowed. He looked at her for a long beat, then spoke, voice low and frayed. “If I say I don’t want you anymore, would you respect that? No—you never listen, Emily. Not at home, not at the company. Look around.”He spread his arms, the fight bleeding out of him, frustration raw. His eyes shone. “Everyone knows. They talk about us. When I arg

Emily glared at Alicia, who stood beside Andy as he spoke with the celebrant. Fuming, she turned away and began searching for Ethan.“Andy, may I speak with you for a minute?” the celebrant asked. He was celebrating his sixtieth birthday—a good friend and mentor to Andy.He made the request right after Andy introduced Alicia as his wife.Andy squeezed Alicia’s hand and kissed the back of it. “I’ll be back, babe.”He followed the celebrant out of the hall to a private room, where one of the celebrant’s most trusted bodyguards took position at the door.Mr. Randy studied Andy for a moment before asking, “Are you sure this is a good decision—marrying so suddenly?”Andy thought for a beat, then replied, “Yes. My wife isn’t just any woman. She’s speci—”Mr. Randy cut in, his tone sharper. “Can you really protect her from your uncle? You can hardly protect yourself from him.”Andy’s expression darkened, his eyelids lowering. Mr. Randy sighed and continued, “I know you love her. But marrying
