Semua Bab The Billionaire Rejected Me : Bab 31 - Bab 40

I heard a knock outside the guestroom followed by an unfamiliar girl's voice."Ma'am? Sir Lazarus is asking for you downstairs.""I'll be right there," my plain voice was loud enough to be heard outside. I didn't even have time to open the door for the maid because I was only wearing a white towel around my body.I was looking for something to wear now that our suitcase had been delivered. I was the one who arranged Zon's clothes in his room. The child even asked where I sleep because he wanted to sleep beside me. He used to sleep in my room whenever he got scared before our house in the subdivision burned down.My hair was wet and I hadn't dried it. Drops of fresh cold water were streaming from the squares of my shoulders to the tips of my fingers.Because I was in a hurry, I didn't bother to dry myself. I quickly wrapped the towel around me and put on the expensive slippers outside the bathroom to avoid slipping.I didn't know what to wear. It felt like my simple home clothes here l

The arrival of Laki and Ruin was highly anticipated. The sun was setting, casting a twilight glow, and we were all dressed in formal attire. Impatience was palpable, everyone seemed weary from waiting.The two of them were also dressed to impress, having received a call from Noah that they were on their way. Yet, they still hadn't arrived.Law stood silently beside Manang Letecia. Surprisingly, even the men were unusually quiet. Their behavior had shifted since they stepped foot in the mansion.Back at the bar, they never ran out of things to talk about, even if they were several meters apart. Now, lined up beside Law, I couldn't hear a peep from them. They would exchange glances, trying hard not to smile.It's really different when we're in the presence of the older Cavanaughs. Maybe that's why Lazarus took over Cavanaugh Finance Corp., since Law was a lawyer. He wasn't into the family business. He held the law of this mansion in his hands."Momma! Uncle Laki's car!" Zon pointed to a

It's warm and bright here by the pool. My cousins were having fun and decided to swim again after my son requested to swim. He doesn't know how to swim yet, but he's being guided by his uncles. He's just five years old, his birthday is coming up soon, but even so, I don't allow him to swim in the pool alone. I only agreed this time because his uncles are here.Law and Lazarus didn't join. Law is probably inside the private room, and Lazarus is pretending to sit beside me. There are wooden chairs here, but they have cushions to make them more comfortable. He's wearing a simple white t-shirt that looks refreshing on him with black shorts.Both of us are watching Luzon and his uncles playing in the pool. My son is floating in the pool because of the ring-shaped float around him, like a life buoy.Since I woke up this morning in Lazarus' room, he hasn't left my side."Baby boy, do you see Uncle Ruin's abs? Your Tito Laki's abs were embarrassed when the ladies saw this," Ruin strokes his f

I know what to do now. I should have known this before. I should have hidden Luzon from his father if only I knew this would happen. But I was confident that Lazarus didn't care about Luzon, so why should I hide my son? I was wrong because he cares for Luzon now, and it's too late to hide him.They're just too much. I could endure the pain when I gave birth to my son, but this doesn't count. I want this to end.I'll go to the so-called dinner. I won't back down from this. I was so glad that Ysa Cavanaugh wanted me to stay away from Lazarus. But I'm still nervous because they might take my son.The day passed, and now the dinner is taking place in a nearby restaurant. Of all the people in this mansion, only Ms. Lauren, Manang Letecia, and the servants treat me with kindness.I know the people who will attend this dinner. Zacharias Cavanaugh, Lazarus, Francesca, and her parents, and then me. I won't be afraid to face them because I've had enough of their cheap attitude.They think so hi

I could see a smile form on Zacharias Cavanaugh’s face, and he nodded, in agreement with his son. I knew why he did this—he wanted Lazarus to marry the woman he loved, and that was Francesca. He didn’t want his son to end up regretting his decisions, as he did.“I know you would say that, son,” Zacharias’s voice held pride and satisfaction, pleased to hear those words from his son.I lowered my head and bit my lower lip, observing the array of knives, forks, and spoons laid out on the table.I knew this was how it would play out. I tried to push aside the strange feelings, dismissing them as mere anger.“I’m not finished yet, father.”I didn’t lift my gaze back to Lazarus because there was nothing to gain from it. It was all just a lie.“If I choose Ms. Francesca Costales, then my son would never forgive me,” I could hear the pain in Lazarus’s calm but firm voice. “Have you ever thought of us when you chose to stay with Lace?”“Watch your words, Lazarus.”Zacharias Cavanaugh pulled hi
