I Stole A Kiss From A Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

LESLIE'S POV“It is your duty as the head to ensure the smooth running of the Baxter family. Therefore, you are not allowed to marry someone of such lowly birth. Neither are you allowed to let the heir come from someone like that," Uncle Scott added.I stared in disbelief as I watched them list reasons why Saint shouldn't be with me.All of them related to my background.I scoffed at their shallowness and shook my head. They were just lucky enough to be born into such a rich family. They had no right to judge other people without such luck harshly.Saint walked past them to take his seat at the head of the table. He didn't look fazed one bit and I had the utmost belief in him that he would navigate through the whole situation somehow.“Are you done or do you have more words to sprout?" He crossed his legs."Do not treat this with such laxity, Saint. This can lead to a revolt against your position as the head of the family," Thomas snapped, his neck going tight with veins.“I would lik

SELENE’S POVI ran my hands through my hair as I followed Julian into my home gym. My head was pounding from another sleepless night and I was far too on the edge.“Are you sure you're okay to do this? You look really tired." Julian peered down at my face, too close for comfort.I took several steps back. “None of your business. Let's get this over with so I can go back to sleep." "Selene—”"I'm leaving.” I turned away but he grabbed my arm. "I didn't come here so you could school me. Say one more word about how I choose to live my life and I would leave.”“Fine," he sighed and moved away from me. “Let's warm up first. Do some jumping jacks and jog on the spot. Ten minutes, let's go." I rolled my eyes but did as he said. My heart thumped faster as I warmed up. It was way too early to get tired but I was totally unfit. I didn't care though.I might not have this life or this body for long.“Good, that's enough." Julian stopped me.I held my waist and took in several deep breaths. Whe

LESLIE'S POVFor a moment, my poker face cracked and my shock shined through for everyone to see. She barely acknowledged me the last time we met but here she was, behaving like we were long lost friends.What kind of strategy was this?“Thank you." I got a hold of myself and took a step back. They all took their seats so I took the last empty one, humming at the comfortability of it. I crossed my legs just as my phone vibrated with a message.Saint: Is everything okay?My lips stretched in a smile before I replied to him: I am fine.“Earth to Leslie!" Ivy's voice distracted me and I looked up to see everyone's eyes on me.“Oh, I'm sorry." I turned my phone over.“Was that Saint?" Ivy wriggled her eyebrows.“Well, yes," I smiled sheepishly."He can't even stand to be separated from you for two hours?” Elara laughed. “Stop, that is so cute." "Let's get on with the meeting,” Arabella broke through all the teasing. “And Leslie, using your phone during the meeting is not allowed. We don

LESLIE'S POVI tried to figure out the identity of the person in the video but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't. They were appropriately dressed for the crime they wanted to commit with their all black attire. I sighed and handed the phone back to Julian.“It looks like I would never be able to figure it out,” I shivered. "Which means that person would continue to roam around freely and is free to attack me anytime again.”“You don't have to be worried about that. Thanks to technology advancement, we can improve the outlook of the video and hopefully get something from there. So, trust me. I will keep looking into it." “But anything can happen before then. I don't even know who to trust anymore." My leg bounced in anxiety."Listen to me, Leslie.” I looked up at him. "You have Saint with you. Believe me when I say he won't let any harm come to you. This is why I believe we should tell him.”"I'm not arguing about this again, Julian.” I shook my head. "I will tell him when the t

SAINT'S POVI stepped down from the car and looked at the Ember & Oak signage. I glanced at my wrist watch noting that I was thirty minutes late, intentionally.I rounded the car and opened the door. Leslie stretched her hand to me and I helped her out. I took her handbag and held it. She thanked me and squeezed my bicep, a wide grin on her face.She was so hilariously vain.“Oh my, that was a long drive.” She looked up as well. "You must really want to try the food in this place.”I smiled and nodded before leading her into the restaurant. I didn't tell her what we were here for because it was unexplainable and I wanted her to see it for herself.As we got to the private room, Leslie grabbed my hand. “I need to use the toilet really quick. Can you wait inside for me?" I nodded and handed her her bag. I smiled as I watched her run clumsily down the hall.I turned away and opened the door to the private room. Liliana looked up and instantly smiled at the sight of me, her hands going t
