Claimed By The Billioniare I Once Rejected のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Charlotte Heller arrived at Cream Cafe after making sure that there were no cameras around.She was a bit amused to see the waiters drinking and eating on the side, and the band members were packing their stuff while singing in a low voice.“I’ve been to many weddings in my life, but I haven’t seen one get stopped in this manner,” she muttered under her breath. “It’s a miracle that nobody died after so many guys pulled their guns out. This place would have bathed in blood had even one person got nervous and pressed the trigger. What are the odds that nothing of the sort happened, and the lover managed to take the bride away?”She saw Gregg sitting in the aisle.“He looks like he wants to kill someone,” she thought. “I’m not going anywhere near that guy alone now.”So, she went into the cafe instead.Moments later, Gregg received a phone call from his sister.He answered it. She told him to come inside.He reluctantly got up and walked into the cafe. His steps were slow and heavy. His

Elena’s hand was in Adrian’s hand, but she didn’t feel that good right now.With eyes gripped by shock, she kept staring at him as he argued with his parents.If he already got married before, shouldn’t he at least tell her?Why didn’t he tell her such an important detail?Why did he not even mention or hint about it?Was he hiding it on purpose?All kinds of crazy thoughts ran through her mind again and again. Her ears felt numb.But from the way Adrian was being so casual and dismissive about it, she didn’t feel like he was hiding it from her.Rather, he probably just didn’t want to talk about it. He seemed really moved on.“Elena is my wife now,” Adrian said without any hesitation, “whether you like it or not.”“She’s not even worthy of being your second wife!” Iva roared and stood. “A woman who runs away from her family can never be trusted. What’s the guarantee that she won’t run away from you when you tell her to do something that she doesn’t like? Marriage is about understandin

Adrian and Elena walked down the road.The night was cold and almost unforgiving. The wedding dress wasn’t enough to stop the cold.Seeing Elena shivering a little, Adrian removed his jacket and put it on her.She thanked him with a smile.But that smile didn’t last long as their situation wasn’t good right now.It was far from good.Both of them got kicked out of their families. Their rights to their wealth were also denied.“I’m sorry,” she said. “Because of me, you had to quarrel with your parents and leave home.”“Didn’t you do the same thing for me?”“Yeah, but my situation is different. If you hadn’t helped me, I think I would have done something crazy at the wedding.”“Mm? What do you mean?”“Nothing,” Elena remembered the water bottle in which she had mixed sleeping pills. She had planned on giving that water bottle to Gregg so that he’d end up sleeping like a pig.But Adrian came for her, so she let go of the bottle in the aisle.Otherwise, a different kind of drama would hav

A few minutes earlier.A luxury starbus arrived at Cream Cafe.Desmond Paine, his wife, and his youngest daughter Sia Paine got down from the side door, followed by their close relatives.Cassandra and Leonard greeted them. So did Gregg.Gregg already knew how Sia looked, but seeing her in the wedding dress lessened his anger and worries very much.“Thank you so much for agreeing to this marriage,” Gregg said, smiling but with his head slightly lowered. “I will never forget this kindness the Paine family has shown to me.”“You’re being too humble,” Desmond grabbed his shoulders. “Please raise your hand. We both will gain from this marriage, but the reason I accepted this marriage is because my daughter agreed to it.”Gregg smiled at Sia and thanked her again.Sia nodded. She was looking at Gregg with mixed feelings. She was smiling, but her smile didn’t seem all that natural.Paul and Britney were also there, and they were showering great smiles because they loved this arrangement.An

At a small hotel somewhere in Brightwood city.Elena and Adrian booked a room for the night.Adrian paid the owner to clean the room once more.Later, Elena had lain down on the bed, but Adrian was on the couch. Even though she told him to sleep on the bed, he chose the couch.She didn’t ask him twice, not wanting to put unnecessary pressure on him.But she wondered why he didn’t want to sleep on the bed next to her. Was he being shy, or was there more?She didn’t want to think too much about it, but she couldn’t not think about it.“I have to tell you something, Adrian.”“I’m listening.”“I think the reason Gregg fainted during the wedding was probably because he drank from my water bottle.”Adrian sat up. “Your water bottle?”She briefly explained to him what had happened.“So you were planning on making Gregg drink that water all along?” Adrian laughed out loud. “You dropped the bottle after I arrived, but he ended up drinking that bottle anyway. I guess this is what they call fate
