Married to My Heartless Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

 In another corner of New York, the charity auction was in full swing. Compared to the quiet hospital ward, the atmosphere here was loud and lively.Word had spread that top actress Hailey would attend tonight, so several media outlets had staked out the entrance early. They waited from seven to eight, but no more guests came in and none of them saw Hailey appear.Who leaked the wrong info.We stood in the cold for nothing.You guys missed her. She came in at seven thirty. Another reporter walked over and showed them a photo.In the camera, the woman was dressed simply. A long ruffled dress, white sneakers, straight black hair falling over her shoulders.She looked like the sweet girl next door.Nothing like the sultry, seductive star who dominated screens and collected legions of male fans.Why is she dressed like that.Three years of her career, three years of the sexy image. Is she changing personas now.

 The words kite flying sounded strangely out of place coming from him.Evelyn assumed he was joking and did not take it seriously.Still, as a listener, she answered softly. Yes, I will follow the doctor’s orders and rest well.Rain fell for several days straight.Evelyn lay on the hanging chair on the balcony, covered with a gray blanket, eyes closed as she listened to the sound of rain.When Gloria reached the doorway, she froze at the sight.The girl was resting quietly. Her dark hair spilled over the pillow in a loose, relaxed tumble. Peaceful. Serene.Gloria instinctively softened her movements. She approached the chair, placing a freshly made cup of hot apple cider on the tall side table.Gloria.The girl’s gentle voice rose.Gloria turned, meeting Evelyn’s beautiful eyes. Evelyn’s eyes were clear and soft, able to calm even the wildest temper with just one look.No

 He said he had not adjusted to the change of environment while abroad these past few days, so the heat in his body was acting up and caused the nosebleed.Evelyn nodded and believed him. She wanted to help him wipe it, but he stopped her. Go try on your gown.Are you sure you are alright.She leaned toward him, trying to see. Because of the height difference, the moment she tilted forward, Nicholas lowered his gaze and caught the view at her neckline.He instantly looked away and left the store’s main hall.Evelyn stood still for a moment, worried as she watched him walk off. But she eventually followed the manager upstairs and continued trying on the remaining sample gowns.She tried three.Nicholas chose the third one. A modest high waisted long dress, no bare shoulders and no exposed legs. A touch proper, a touch playful.As they left, he could not help glancing again at the first gown she tried. The deep

Inside the restroom.Evelyn stood before the sink, cooling a disposable towel under cold water. She wrung it out and pressed it against her slightly flushed cheeks.Nicholas had only kissed her to defend his own. Nothing more.She steadied herself.Her racing heartbeat slowly calmed.When the heat faded from her face, she removed the towel and reapplied her lipstick carefully in the mirror.She returned to the banquet hall.Just like before, she stayed beside Nicholas and greeted various guests.Tonight Mr. Drake was unusually approachable.He rarely attended social events, and even more rarely bothered to speak to people. He hated their polished courtesy and pretentious flattery.In one corner of the hall, whispers spread.Since Mr. Drake got married, his temper seems much better. He is easier to approach now.Right. I greeted him earlier, and he actually said a few words to me. In the past, he would not have spared us a glance.So the saying that marriage changes a man is true after

 Evelyn opened the hospital room door, having heard every word of the gossip outside.The members of the West family gathered in the hallway immediately fell silent. Several women quickly put on fake smiles and walked up to her.Evelyn, how is my father doing.Vito is stable for now. He has already fallen asleep.That is good. You must be exhausted, staying with him in the room all day.Evelyn ignored the woman.She turned her gaze to the middle aged man who had spoken earlier, the one known for his vicious tongue, Seth.Catching her look, Seth felt a surge of excitement and hurried over. Did my father mention anything about the inheritance. Did he mention me.Evelyn nodded.Seth was overjoyed. Really. What did he say.He said you are an unlucky person.The smile froze on Seth’s face. The color drained from it in an instant.Evelyn withdrew her gaze, walked past the crowded group,
