All Chapters of The Poor Billionaire Heiress Returns!: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

•NOAH•“Noah? Noah, wait!” My mother called out as she rushed to catch up with me on my way to the ballroom. I slowed down and ended the call I was on.“Mother, are you okay?” I asked when she had finally reached my side.She looked disturbed and had a sweat on her brow, meaning she had been looking everywhere in the house for me.“You’re hosting such a big event for your grandpa?” She sounded annoyed. “This is a waste of money, Noah. You have so many things to focus on rather than waste money on a birthday. You recently mentioned that your company had financial issues, so why are you wasting money instead of investing in it?”The birthday hadn’t even started yet, but my mother was already breathing down my neck. She hated my grandparents for some odd reason and didn’t want to see me doing anything for them.She seemed to forget that Grandpa had tried his best to care for us after my father’s death, even though his company was barely pulling through.Things were coming together for hi

•OCTAVIA•“The Blackwood family is blessed to have a daughter-in-law with so much money and a kind heart. Noah made the right choice when he chose her over Giselle with questionable money,” people whispered after the birthday celebration.They scattered as they went their separate paths, still in awe of my revelation. I was on top of the world, and Janet couldn’t stop praising me.“Oh, Octavia, my dear,” she leaned closer. “You’ve done a wonderful deed for your grandfather-in-law. The entire state will speak of your generosity for years to come. My birthday is in a couple of weeks,” she winked before she walked away.Noah and his grandfather approached me, and I thought his grandfather would praise me. Instead, he sighed when he reached my side, looking disappointed.“Thank you for your gifts, Octavia. The green tie is very fashionable, and I will have a wonderful time wearing it. As for the other gifts, your sister has called and asked if I had received them. She’s the one who sent t

•OCTAVIA•“Noah!” I laughed, squirming under his hands. “Stop tickling me! Do you want me to pee on the bed? My bladder’s already working overtime, thanks to these pregnancy hormones!”He grinned, looking way too proud of himself. Honestly, seeing how happy he was about the baby made my heart melt. He couldn’t even hide it anymore. He was already planning a weekend getaway for just the two of us.“Alright, alright,” he answered, catching his breath. “Let me finish packing. You stay right here and don’t move a muscle. I’ll grab you something to eat. I don’t want you or our baby to starve.”He kissed my forehead before heading out, and I couldn’t help but chuckle as I sank back into the pillows.Then, my phone buzzed.My heart raced when I saw Bruno’s name on the screen. I knew what he would say.Damn it.Ignoring him wasn’t an option because he would make things worse if I did.Noah was finally paying attention to me and treating me like someone fragile. He didn’t want me to move a mus

•GISELLE•“Thank you for coming, Noah. I hope you and Octavia had a lovely weekend in the Bahamas.” I greeted him when I arrived at the restaurant and found him already waiting for me.I texted him a few days ago and asked to see him on Monday afternoon after receiving the divorce papers, as I wanted us to end things and have nothing holding us back.“Thank you, Giselle. I was surprised when I received your text. Did you miss me?” He joked after helping me sit, and I rolled my eyes.I slipped the papers from my handbag and placed them in front of him on the table. “These are divorce papers to nullify our prenup agreement. You have a new family with Octavia, and I don’t want this hovering above us.”For a moment, I thought I saw his expression getting cold and something unreadable behind his eyes. But who was I fooling? There was nothing in those eyes.“I thought the prenup agreement was in your best interest. What do you think people would say when they find out we’ve nullified our pr

•OCTAVIA•“Are you going to tell me about your trip to the Bahamas?” My mother asked when I arrived home. I hadn’t even changed before she bombarded me with questions.“Tell me, how are the Blackwoods treating the news of your pregnancy? Is Noah going to stop whatever arrangement he made with Giselle because you’re pregnant now?”“One question at a time, Mom,” I chuckled as I sat down on the couch.“You know I am excited about my third grandchild, Octavia. How will I contain my joy when my daughter is finally making me a grandma of her first child?” She giggled as she came to sit next to me.“Janet has probably told half the town that I am expecting their heir, but Noah’s grandfather hates me. But don’t you worry. That’s nothing to me. He won’t be so hard on me when he finds out I’m carrying a son.”“That’s wonderful news, but Noah’s grandpa should be admitted to a retirement home. He doesn’t have the right to make your life difficult in your husband’s house,” my mother scoffed.“Don’
