The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Evelyn's POVI stared at Bianca like she had lost her damn mind—because she certainly had! When were WE going home? The only WE in this scenario was ME and MY husband. She most definitely had her own place to stay. Our house was NOT the place either."It only makes sense that I stay with you, Adrian." Bianca stated as if she were simply talking about the weather. "I'm pregnant, and I can't just be on my own when I have a little life to grow."I gripped my sheets so tightly my knuckles turned white. "No." Was all I could manage to say while trying my damndest to not blow up in her face.Bianca turned to me with a raised brow. "I wasn't talking to you, dear. This is a matter between me and Adrian.""Actually, it involves me, too." I forced a calmer tone than what she deserved. "In case you forgot, that's my home as well. Which means I have a say in the matter. That also means that I don't agree with you coming to live with us just because you're pregnant.""I have to agree with Eve, Bian

Evelyn's POVI avoided Adrian for the rest of the day. Not like I had to really try, at least. After that whole fiasco with Bianca overtaking our master bedroom, he called for a moving company to same-day pack and deliver her belongings to our place, while he helped her get adjusted.I couldn't stand the sight of him favoring another woman over his own wife. So, I made sure to give him the same treatment he was giving me.Even when he tried to talk to me, I ignored him."Eve, are you thirsty?" He called out from the kitchen at one point.I didn't answer him, though."Hey, I'm about to order some takeout." He asked when it was close to dinner time. "Did you want anything in particular?" Still, I didn't entertain his questions. What did it matter anyway? Even if I had given Adrian my opinion, Bianca could come in and interject with her own ideas, and he would take her side without another thought.That was the standard now anyway, wasn't it?I sighed as I pathetically hobbled up the sta

Evelyn's POV"I won't force your body into taking on more than what you can handle, so if you start to feel unwell at any point in time tonight, just let me know." Adrian's assuring voice came through the door. "We can come back to the house.""I'm fine, I'm fine." I assured him. "I don't need my crutches anymore. And I don't want people approaching me all night and taking the spotlight away from you, okay?""Alright…" Adrian didn't seem so sure, but relented anyway. "I'm going to go get ready. Just let me know if you change your mind."While it warmed me to hear Adrian be concerned for me, I still couldn't shake away the thoughts of last night… Was it genuine? Was I truly at the forefront of his mind like he had claimed?I sighed. Tonight was going to be a long night.After about another hour of finalizing my hair and makeup, I went to go check up on Adrian. It never usually took him too long to get ready…When I knocked on the master bedroom door, I half-expected Adrian to be the one

Evelyn's POVI stayed in the bathroom for God knows how long. Not like anyone would've missed me. Especially Adrian. Clearly, he made that much obvious.I had to try hard not to cry and completely ruin my makeup, If anything, I wanted to break down completely. I wanted to rip my heart from this damn chest and curse it for making me feel this way.Adrian took Bianca's side again; he stood up for her; he fought another man for her.And me? Somehow I earned his scorn and his neglect.It was almost as if she was a lot more important to him than what he was letting on… After I reapplied my makeup, I strode out of the bathroom with my head held high. I steeled what was left of my resolve, and was determined to salvage what was left of this evening.Surprisingly however, a lot of the guests had already cleared the venue. Where was everyone?"Miss Evelyn?"I turned my head to see one of the venue staff members approach me.She bowed her head in respect. "Mr. Langston wanted me to inform you

Evelyn's POVMy heart dropped. "B-but, Adrian, I-I—"Before I could even string along a coherent sentence in protest, Adrian was already walking away. My heart shattered. And just like that, most of the tension that had washed away from the few acts of kindness suddenly tightened itself around me like an anaconda would its prey.I didn't know what to do.My resolve crumbled just as quickly as I had built it."Miss Evelyn?"My head snapped in the direction of the voice that called me, and at the doorway, I saw the nurse who had examined me earlier."I have your results if you'll come with me, ma'am."I nodded my head and forced my feet to carry me forward; despite it feeling like someone had tied cement blocks to them."Will your husband not be accompanying us?" The nurse asked innocently.I shook my head and tried not to break down on the spot. "N-no. An emergency came up at work, so he had to leave immediately.""Oh, that's unfortunate. I'm sure he would've loved to have known about t
