A BABY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 29

LESLIEI put on the skimpiest gown I could find in my box and looked at my reflection in the mirror to be sure I was attractive.The green flowery gown grabbed onto my body, cutting off several inches above my knees. I turned around slowly, and I was satisfied with the way my ass was lifted by the dress.“Perfect!” I nodded with a smile, and then I applied some red lip gloss and sprayed a sensual vanilla fragrance before I stepped out.“Morning, Mum.”“Oh, Les... Isn’t it too early to go to the office?” Mum looked at the clock hanging on the wall.“No, Mum. This is my first day at work. I have to make the best impression.”“I see. And that dress, don’t you think it’s a little inappropriate for the office?”“Don’t worry, Mum. It’s perfect. I will see you in the evening.”“At least have something to eat; I made some tacos.”“I am fine, Mum. I will pass.” I pecked my mom on my right cheek, and then I walked out and got into the white Porsche my family gave me.The Chauffeur continued dr

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEMAX’S POVCatherine’s blue eyes kept staring inquisitively, waiting for the answer which I wasn’t ready to give.But it had seemed like I was obliged for peace to reign... she seemed like chaos that was ready to rise at every moment.“Mr. Crane ?” Her eyes reminded me that she was still waiting. She flicked her silver hair and took two more steps further. “Who is she? Why have you chosen to keep her here for this long?”I wondered how she was able to know that Nara had been in the mansion longer than when she saw her. That meant that there was someone in the mansion who was telling her whatever happened whenever she was away.“You just came back, Catherine. Why don’t you go get some rest?”“I am fine. Just answer the question,” She insisted, almost rolling her eyes until she remembered who I was.“She is nobody, Catherine.” I lied. “She is no one you should be worried about, and I think you should focus all your attention on some other things.”She was silent, but

LESLIE’S POV“Whatever this gathering is for, my mind is not made up to attend,” I grumbled, but it didn’t seem like I had any choice.Also, my curiosity lingered, and I wanted to know why the Crane Billionaire was so insistent that I was present at the gathering.“One would imagine that it wasn’t you who had that fire burning inside you a while ago.” That was him, and I didn’t even realize that he had walked into the room.Maybe I had been so drawn into my thoughts that I failed to feel his presence.“You look very beautiful.” He said, but I failed to show him any form of appreciation.My face remained the way it was, plain and unready to smile.“You know we are bonded to each other, Nara. We have the same fire burning in us.”“Then I will have to find a way to quench it,” I smirked at him, taking two steps backward the moment I saw that he was moving toward me.“That can only happen if you are a direct descendant of the moon goddess. Unfortunately, we don’t get to choose who our Lov

LESLIE’S POVThe sound of whispers kept on resounding in my ears, but I heard nothing.Then my eyes opened, and I realized that I was dreaming. Nothing had made sense to me ever since I arrived at the Lycan territory. The dreams had become so constant that I knew something was wrong.“ Mr. Crane has asked me to call you.” One of the two servants who walked into the room said. It seemed like they had been waiting for me to wake.“What does he want?” I asked, and they were completely surprised at how I spoke about Mr. Crane, whom everyone was afraid of.“ Mr. Crane says that this is very important.” The other servant said, and I could already see the fear written on their faces. Max must have given them a stern warning to make sure that I obeyed his instruction.“Tell him that I will be with him shortly.” I waited for them to leave, but they only exchanged glances with each other and remained standing.I sighed and stretched myself almost at the same time. I wasn’t sure if I got enoug

LESLIE’S POVI tried as much as I could to forget about what Morgan said to me, but his words were so threatening that I turned to look at him each time I was certain that he wasn’t staring. Mr. Crane led us to one of the traps he set, and we saw that it had caught a big antelope.“There you are! Knew I was going to get you someday!” He said proudly and gestured to the guards who ended the life of the poor animal who was barely clinging to life.“I once hit it with my spear, but it only got to its feet. It escaped narrowly.” He explained, watching with a smug look while the guards tied the animal to a long stick and carried it behind us.We continued moving, but we had only taken a few steps when we heard the sound of swift movements in front of us.“I think we are about to see something huge,” Morgan suggested, but Mr. Crane shook his head at once.“No, Morgan. That didn’t sound like an animal at all.” Max was certain of his words, and I believed himWhat I heard sounded so heavy t
