The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 47

Briar’s POVTo my surprise, Knox was more than excited to spend a week at Liam’s place with his nanny. I was almost on the brink of cutting off the arrangement. Shouldn’t my son be sad to be away from me? But then, he has always had a connection with Liam and it would be unfair to take that away from him. Whenever I was out on a site inspection outside our city, it didn’t involve Liam. Knox and Gina would spend the time at his house. It was most times Liam’s insistence.I had known a long time ago that my son would always be safe with the people I have made friends with over the years. Going on business trips never became a burden because I always came back to meet a bubbly child as before. “How was it?” Rissa inquired when I entered the office. I rolled my eyes playfully, looking towards Liam’s office. “They seemed excited to want to be away from home.” She chuckled. “Children will shame you.” Sighing in relief, I plopped into my chair twirling it around. “Well, I guess I should

Author’s POV“I need to use the restroom,” Adrian announced excusing himself. Melissa Sterling and Isadora watched him disappear behind the restaurant. Melissa chuckled to herself when she caught the look on Isadora’s face. “You find him that appealing?” Isadora flushed, patting her cheek gently. “I…I can’t explain how much he gets me.” Clearing her throat she sat up. “Thank you so much for making it to my birthday dinner at such short notice, Melissa. It means so much to me.” “How could I have said no to such an invitation? You know you can call out to me whenever you want. Never hesitate. You are family, Isadora.” She beamed. “Family.” She whispered. “Do you really think so? Because I sure don’t want to be like a sister to Adrian.” Melissa laughed. “You have always been so blunt with your words, Isadora. Of course I know being a sister isn't what you seek. I would really love for you two to be together. But….” Isadora readjusted herself to stare at the old lady. “Why are you

Briar’s POVI did a sharp intake of breath at the sight of the building. I am haunted by it and it’s only been a few days since our encounter. I know being flexible is the most expected act of a designer, but in my entire experience, I have only had to work on the interior of resorts, hotels, restaurants, and housing projects. Working on a dialysis center isn't exactly something I would have envisioned. That sounds silly of me and I feel bad. However, I am forced to think up different ways to not make it appear grey nor too colorful. Even though Liam is offering to help, I can’t ask too much of him. At least not until I have done the full inspection and come up with a moodboard. I was only able to cover a few rooms the last time I came by. Looking at the whole mass of brick, I am amazed by the intention behind it. I heard it’s a charity space. The sponsor wants it open to the public and to help families find relief in nurturing their loved ones back to life. The more reason I am cha

Adrian’s POV“Here is your card, sir.” The lady by the counter handed it over with a smile. “Thanks.” I sniffed, retrieving it and heading for the door. “I thought you had left.” I heard Liam behind me. My body stiffened at his voice. When I didn’t respond, he came in front of me. “I forgot to thank you earlier. Thanks for your help and sorry you were caught off guard. If you weren’t here it might have been too much trouble.” I furrowed my brow, staring at him in disbelief. Who the fuck is this dude? I scoffed and walked past him. He isn’t deserving of a response. “What? Aren’t you going to say something?” He called after me. I threw him a side glare. “What do you want to hear? Don’t piss me off, man.” I warned, heading towards my car. “It’s not her fault you know. Don’t make this about you. Let things be. There is no need to get all upset for nothing.”I tightened my fist, fighting the rage bubbling inside me. “Mr Ashford, I do not remember being friends with you. You have no r
