Trading My Cheating Husband for a Billionaire Tycoon의 모든 챕터: 챕터 41 - 챕터 50

Jennie stayed at the hospital the entire time.She kept Rosie company in silence. At dinner, she fed her spoonful by spoonful of plain porridge, then wrung out a warm towel and carefully wiped her face and hands, attending to every small detail.After settling Rosie back into bed, Jennie tucked the blanket around her and softened her voice.“Grandma, the doctor said you need to stay for observation for two days. Just rest here and don’t worry about anything.”She placed the call button within easy reach. “If you feel uncomfortable, press this to call a nurse, or call me directly. My phone will be on twenty-four hours.”Rosie nodded. “You’ve had a long day too. Go back and get some rest.”“I’m not tired,” Jennie said gently, patting her hand before turning to leave the room.Still uneasy, she stopped by the nurses’ station to say a few more words.A young nurse was organizing charts. Seeing her, she smiled. “Family of Bed Six? Heading out?”“Yes.” Jennie nodded, her tone sincer

Jennie’s fingers paused for barely half a second before she actually reached for the phone.William’s pupils shrank instantly.Almost on instinct, he snatched the phone back.“Jennie!” His voice shot up, his expression full of wounded disbelief. “What do you think you’re doing? You’re really going to check my phone? Is there not even the most basic trust between us anymore?”He launched straight into familiar territory.“You weren’t like this before. You used to trust me completely. You never doubted me, not even once. You said that even if the whole world didn’t believe me, you would. You said trust was the most important thing in a marriage. So why are you so suspicious now? Why are you so sharp and bitter?”Again.The moment her actions slipped out of his control, he dug up the past and twisted it. She had changed. She was at fault.Jennie watched his clumsy performance and felt irritation rise in her chest.She did not want to waste another minute on this. There was no poi

Nick didn’t understand it.The truth was already clear. Why delay it?If Jennie knew sooner, she wouldn’t have to keep living inside a lie. Wouldn’t that be better?Henry lifted his gaze slightly. His dark eyes were unfathomable, giving nothing away.He set the paternity report down on the desk.Unbidden, an image surfaced in his mind.Yesterday, at the botanical garden.The moment she heard her grandmother had been injured.The way all composure drained from her face.She cared that much.Someone like that… how could she possibly bear a truth this brutal?Henry cast a cool glance at Nick.“When did you start enjoying sticking your nose into other people’s business?”His voice was flat.“The Africa subsidiary happens to be short a managing director. I think you’d be a perfect fit.”Not Africa again.A chill shot straight down Nick’s spine. Survival instincts kicked in immediately. He snapped his mouth shut, swallowing every question and concern whole.He had no intention o

She seemed serious.That realization hit William hard, his chest tightening without warning.His phone buzzed. He snapped out of it and glanced at the caller ID.He took a breath and answered. “Dad.”“William, you’re back from your trip?” Patrick’s voice came through the line.“Yeah. Just got back to Ridgeview.”“Good,” Patrick said evenly. “Bring Jennie home for dinner tonight. I have something important to discuss with both of you.”William instinctively looked in the direction the car had disappeared. His throat bobbed before he answered.“Alright, Dad. We’ll be there tonight.”---The sedan cruised steadily down the highway.“Miss, where would you like to go?” the driver asked respectfully through the rearview mirror.Jennie looked away from the window. “Dream Lake Villas.”The house there was one of many wedding gifts her father had given when she married William.She used to believe those gifts meant her father had finally begun to care, that marrying William had ea

Jennie tilted her head slightly, avoiding his placating touch.She took a deep breath. The sharp pain stabbing through her chest made it hard to breathe.“William,” she said, calling him by his full name. There was no effort to hide the disgust in her voice. “Get out.”Something pierced his heart. “Jennie… I—”“Get out.”She would not even look at him anymore.William stood up, forcing down the panic rising in his chest.“Fine. I’ll step out first. You stay here and calm down. I’ll be right outside. If you need anything, just call me, okay?”Still without looking at him, she said, “Get out.”The door closed softly behind him.Jennie stared out the window as tears slipped free, one after another.She raised her hand and wiped at them stubbornly, over and over, but the more she wiped, the more they fell, until everything blurred.Of course.The people closest to you always know exactly where to stab for it to hurt the most.Troublemaker…Everyone said she had killed her own
