Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

MARCUS POVMarcus walked into the living room where Sophia was sitting on the couch scrolling through her phone. The afternoon light was streaming through the windows and she looked relaxed, comfortable in their shared space.Things had been better between them since their conversation at the restaurant, she had started opening up more, shared more about herself. The weird tension that had been building for weeks seemed to have dissipated.Marcus felt good about where they were, he felt like they were finally moving forward instead of constantly navigating around unspoken issues.“Hey babe,” he said, sitting down next to her.Sophia looked up from her phone and smiled. “Hey. How was your day?”“Good. Busy but productive. Listen, I wanted to ask you something.”“What’s up?”Marcus shifted to face her more directly. “So Lily and Ethan’s birthday is coming up this weekend. Kira mentioned she and Adrian are planning this whole thing. Kids’ party at a trampoline park in the afternoon, then

KIRA POVKira drove aimlessly for about twenty minutes before she realized she had no destination in mind.She wasn’t going to the restaurant or the Brooklyn site. She wasn’t going anywhere specific. She was just driving.Her phone kept buzzing in the cup holder. More calls and texts kept coming in. More notifications about the interview that was apparently blowing up across social media.Kira ignored all of it.She took the exit toward the waterfront and found a parking spot overlooking the Hudson, she killed her engine and just sat there staring out at the grey water.Lucky am privileged.The word kept circling in her mind. Her phone rang again. This time it was her mother.Kira answered. “Hi Mom.”“Sweetheart, are you alright? Marcus called and said you left upset.”“I’m fine. I just need some air.”“I saw the interview.”Of course she had. Everyone had apparently seen the interview.“That woman was very unkind, considering y’all were once best friends, ” Elena continued. “And ver

Adrian’s POV Adrian didn’t return back home that night. After the security detail arrived and he’d introduced Dante to Kira, he checked on the kids and assured them everything was fine, after the sun had set and the estate had gone quiet, he still couldn’t bring himself to leave. He sat in his car in the driveway with the engine off, staring at the main house. All the windows were dark except for one on the second floor. Kira’s room. His phone buzzed. A text from his assistant asking if he’d be in the office tomorrow. Adrian ignored it. The front door of the house opened and Kira stepped out. She walked across the driveway toward his car and knocked on the window. Adrian rolled it down. “Are you planning to sleep in your car?” she asked. “I was thinking about it.” “That’s ridiculous. You can come inside.” “I don’t want to impose.”

ADRIAN POVAdrian couldn’t stop thinking about Ethan’s face when he’d blown out those candles.The way his son had looked at him and Kira standing on opposite sides of the cake. The quiet “me too” when Adrian had said he hoped the wish came true. The weight behind those two simple words.Adrian knew exactly what Ethan had wished for.He’d wished for his parents to get back together.The realization sat heavy in Adrian’s chest while he helped clean up wrapping paper and load presents into cars. While he made small talk with parents picking up their kids. While he watched the trampoline park slowly empty until it was just family left.Lily was showing Catherine something on her phone. Marcus and Sophia were gathering leftover pizza into boxes. Kira’s parents were helping the staff break down decorations which they weren’t supposed to be doing.And Kira was standing alone near the entrance, checking something on her phone.Adrian walked over to her. She looked up when she heard him appr

SOPHIA’s POVSophia walked away from Kira and moved through the crowded hall at a fast pace.She needed air and space. Something to calm the rage building in her chest.Elijah was calling Kira again. At a family party surrounded by people. And Kira had answered with that soft smile, that gentle tone she probably never used with anyone else.Meanwhile Adrian was trailing after her like a lost puppy. Two men. Kira had two men who wanted just her and she was acting like it was nothing. Like she deserved it. Like it was just another normal day.Sophia pushed through the side door that led to the service hallway. Staff members rushed past carrying trays of food and empty glasses. Nobody really paid attention to her.The hallway was dimmer here, utilitarian instead of decorated. Storage closets lined one wall. The other side opened to the kitchen where caterers worked over industrial stoves.Sophia stopped walking and pressed her back against the wall.This party was perfect. Everything co
