《Abandoned at the Altar, Chosen by the Billionaire 》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

CHAPTER 31YANA"Welcome home," I announce excitedly as we walk into the house later that evening.Lilica's face split into a wide grin. I can see she's genuinely happy. Only God knows what the little girl has been through in the past few weeks, so I can't help but be happy for her. I'm glad she would have a home now. Good thing we went to the facility today, and I didn't bail out because of Brianna."Let's take you to your room," I say, taking her hand, and then I turn to her. "Are you ready to see your princess room?"Her face lights up and she nods. Luis leads the way with her small bag, and we follow suit."Are you ready?" he teases."Yes."He flings the door open, and Lilica rushes into the room in excitement. She starts looking around in awe while grabbing the decorations to study them."I think she's so happy," Luis says beside him after dropping her bag in the closet.I nod. "Of course. I decorated this room."He glances at me. "If you want to take all the credits, I'm good."

CHAPTER 33VALERIA"What is it?" Spencer questions as I barge into the house, dumping my bag on the couch."God!" I raise my hands. "I hate everything! I hate this shitty place! I hate Yana."He gets on his feet. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"I raise my head. "I met Yana and the shopping mall, and she decided that was the best moment to disgrace me. Can you believe she offered to pay for my dress?" I pointed at my chest. "A whole me."Spencer furrows his brows. "I thought you were going to get groceries. How come you bumped into Yana?" I roll my eyes. "I was frustrated with this whole place. I needed to go to the city. I thought getting groceries there would be better.""But things are cheaper here," he replies sharply.I dash him a scowl. "Well, I had no idea. I don't go grocery shopping. I go shopping for clothes and accessories," I fire back. I've never had to worry about food or anything while married to Luis's father. I'd totally forgotten about how difficult life could

CHAPTER 35LUIS"I never thought I would live to see the day you'll eventually fall in love," Cruz says, chuckling like someone who just found the most hidden secret on earth.My face folds into a scowl as I turn to him. "What the hell are you talking about?"He shrugs. "You've been talking about your wife since we arrived here. This is the longest you've talked in several years," he replies in a teasing tone before taking a sip of his coffee."We've only been here for ten minutes," I remind him, glancing at the wristwatch to be sure it's not even less than that. I'm sure I only talked about Yana when he asked me about her."We've been here for over an hour," he points out.My eyes narrow on him. Where the hell did that come from?"I mean, in total. Yeah, we've only been in the break room for less than that, but even while we were discussing the building, you couldn't stop talking about your wife."I throw him a warning look. We've been at the exhibition centre for a while, and since

CHAPTER 37YANAAll week, Brianna has been pissing me off. I'm so frustrated to the extent of almost considering quitting the job. She keeps complaining about every single design, telling me to redo everything and even calling me talentless even while making sure I showed it to others before sending it to her.While others confirmed it was the best they'd ever seen, Brianna found pleasure in demeaning me and my designs. To the extent that my colleagues are already suspecting it's something personal between us. Now, I'm confused on how to deal with her.Our meeting this morning was solely based on criticising my designs. It's almost as if she forgot a larger portion of why the department was holding a meeting in the first place or maybe she just thought it would be more interesting to embarass me in front of everyone.Once the meeting ended, I grab my stuff and hurry out of the room. I needed space. I needed some fresh air, and going to the rooftop is the best. At least, I won't have t

CHAPTER 39I hear the door click shut behind me, but I focus on my work instead. I know it's Luis since he had insisted on spending the night in my room even after trying different ways to dissuade him, but he had been so adamant.I don't know why he thinks I can't be alone in my room. It's not like I'm sick or on the verge of dying, but since it doesn't seem like he's ready to listen to me, I had no other choice but to give up.Silence falls as he strolls into the room. I can feel his presence behind me, and suddenly the room becomes too small. It's not like it's our first time sharing a room, but last time was different; he was literally asleep when I walked into the room.This time, we are both aware."Are you working?" he asks in a tone of disbelief.I glance at him, forcing an awkward smile. "Just checking some things," I lie. I don't even know why I'm lying. Yeah, he didn't give me the laptop earlier when I asked for it, but it's not like I'm committing a crime, right?Luis com
