《Abandoned at the Altar, Chosen by the Billionaire 》全部章節：第 41 章 - 第 50 章

CHAPTER 42YANA"Madam is resting. No visitors allowed," I hear Helen say from the entrance.I raise my head from the TV. "Who is there?"She glances over her shoulder. "It's...""It's me," Brianna says, pushing Helen out of the way. She strolls into the house while Helen tries to stop her."Helen, it's fine," I say.Her eyes dart between Brianna and me, then she heads back to the kitchen. I turn to Brianna, who is smiling cheekily as her eyes roam around the living room. I'm the only one in the house today. It's a Monday morning, and Luis has taken Lilica to her new school. They decided on the school over the weekend and went for the registration this morning. I would have gone with them since my leg isn't as painful as before, I can limp now, but Luis insisted on my staying back at home."You must be enjoying the break," she starts, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. I wonder why she came here so early on a Monday morning when she should be at work.My lips spread into a s

CHAPTER 44YANAMy head sparks. I look at him in disbelief. Did he just say that?I should have just ignored him right there, but my mouth opens before I can control myself."But I need to know things about you. This whole fake marriage setup can't work if we only know each other on a surface level. We have to fulfil the conditions of the adoption." My voice rises. "The social worker is still on to our marriage. We still have to attend parenting classes and the couple sessions. What if I'm asked questions I don't have answers to?" Pathetic. I can't believe I'm trying to use this to get words out of his mouth, but in a way, they're still true. The social worker visited yesterday, but they're still not convinced to give us the final approval. We haven't even been able to meet their conditions of parenting classes, couple sessions and many more just to ensure stability for the child. Their suspicions about the marriage are still there, and we're on the edge. She asked me a hard questio

CHAPTER 46YANA "You haven't left yet?" I asked, surprised to see Luis still talking to Lilica by the car. I know they left the house as soon as we finished our breakfast.They both look at me."No, I was waiting for you," Luis replies.I tilt my head. "You were waiting for me, why?"He creases his brows. "We are going the same way," he points out, like I'm slow and cannot understand why he has been waiting back for over ten minutes when he told me he had an early meeting that morning."Yeah, I know. I thought..." I glance at Lilica. "I would go with Lilica."Her face breaks into a smile. "Goodbye Yana." She waves at me before disappearing into the car so quickly."Let's go," Luis says as he opens the door for me.I blink, unsure whether to enter his car or not. I know we are going the same way and the whole company already knows about our marriage, but still..."You're running late," he continues.I meet his gaze before hurrying into the car quickly. Lilica's car drives off at that

CHAPTER 48YANA"It's just absurd," I say, glancing at Luis beside me. We haven't been able to talk about Valeria's sudden appearance in the company since Luis has been so busy. He didn't come back home until later in the night when Lilica and I already had dinner.While riding in the car this morning, he brought up the message I sent to him."Maybe she just had to swallow her pride since she needed a job." I shake my head. "And getting one at the company is the only job available? Was she ever friends with Brianna?"He shrugs. "I'm not sure. I think I've seen them together since, but I can't tell if they're good friends or not."I nod. "I just have a feeling they're working together. They're trying to gang up on us."His brows crease. "What does that mean?"I sigh. "Valeria tried to threaten me yesterday."He faces me fully. "She tried to threaten you? With what?"I gesture between us. "With our marriage. She found out it's fake. I think Brianna told her because there's no way she w

CHAPTER 50YANAMy body stiffens. I don't know how it happened, but Luis is kissing me. I'm too stunned to kiss him back, and when I finally get back my senses, he pulls away. My eyes widen. "What... What did you just do?" I croak out. "Sorry about that." He returns to his seat. Sorry? Will sorry undo what he just did? The kiss was so short that I almost thought I'd been imagining things. But I can still feel the sensation on my lips. I can still feel the impact, and I hate that I actually want him to kiss me truly this time. Like what a real kiss should be. But I should be mad at him for crossing the line. "What was that?" I snap. "Why would you just kiss me? "He looks at me. "I'm sorry. My secretary was hovering around. I guess she wanted to know what we were talking about. I thought this would be the right way to give them their answers. She's a big gossip. I'm sure she'll spread it around the company. Now they have fewer reasons to doubt our marriage. "My body relaxes. It
