A BABY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

MAX’ POV I already knew what my uncle Magnus was about to say even without him saying a word as he stared at Leslie as she slowly walked away.He didn’t like her, and he didn’t seem to care about whatever was going to be my reaction.“You shouldn’t have married her, Max. This was a terrible decision.” Lord Magnus broke the silence, but I didn’t even like the sound of his voice.“You have Catherine, Max. You two were betrothed.” “Catherine was never my lover. I didn’t ask to marry her, my father made the decision.” I was finally ready to have that conversation, and Lord Magnus was surprised.“What has she done to you? I heard she is a seer, and a very powerful one at that, Max. What has she done to you?” He waited for me to say something, but I didn’t have anything to say.I had been struggling with Catherine’s demeanor for so long that it was gradually driving me crazy. But no one seemed to see that because they were all after the political and mutual significance of the union betw

LESLIE ’S POV Ravenna was a seer, but she behaved like her powers were a curse to her, and I once heard her saying that she would have gotten rid of her powers if not for one reason she refused to tell me.“What are we to do?” Max asked, calling me back from my little drift.I cleared my throat twice, and he returned to the bed as though I was about to say something.“Leslie ?” He touched me, and I slightly shivered at his touch.I was already panicking even when I had not faced Sierra. But I knew that it was too early for me to fight anyone, let alone the seer living behind the mountains. Even the CEO Max mentioned didn’t want any troubles with her, and I am sure that was the reason why he let her stay there. “What do we do, Leslie ? She is coming tomorrow to get her price.” Max said with his brows furrowed.I did the same at once, and moved away from him. “Tomorrow? That’s too soon! Why tomorrow?”“Well, she said she wanted it today, but I begged her to let me take care of you an

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE MAX’ POV There was nothing but fear in the eyes of the guards that almost knocked down Leslie . I was glad that I saw them right on time to stop them.“Don’t you see?!” I roared at them, but they were busy struggling to catch their breaths after they fell to the ground, panting with their eyes staring fearfully at one direction.“Who is after you?” I asked, looking toward the same direction just like Leslie .“The seer!” One of the guards said with a quivering voice, and I didn’t think I got what he said clearly.“Don’t tell me that you both are new. Ravenna is not an evil seer. She works for me.”“No, you majesty! The other seer! The evil one!” The other guard said what I was hoping not to hear, and then the first added. “She killed one of us!”My heart began to race as fast as a car at that moment, and I saw the apprehension that got hold of Leslie as well.“I was afraid that this was going o happen.” She said with a whisper, and then we heard footsteps coming

LESLIE ’S POV It was very obvious that Asher had a reason why he wanted me not to go into the hall with the king, but he couldn’t get whatever he wanted.“Please, Leslie . Let’s go in…” Max pleaded when he saw that I was a bit reluctant to go in, but that wasn’t because of what his Manager said. I was only trying to be sure that I was ready to face them , especially the ones who thought that I wasn’t supposed to be the Wife seating on the throne with their King.“The leaders are waiting, Leslie . I know that you are upset, but shall we talk about this later?” Max was afraid that I was going to say no, but I nodded and he sighed in relief.Asher avoided my eyes, but I was going to speak to him privately later. It was only a matter of time before I exposed him.We went into the hall, and as soon as the leaders saw us coming, all of them stood up except for one person, Lord Magnus. He seemed to be more concerned about his comfort, and wasn’t worried about the disregard that he was giv

LESLIE ’S POV I was not prepared for what had become the outcome of the meeting with the leaders, but it seemed like it was the only thing that could save me from being thorn apart by Lord Magnus and his cohorts. “I am sorry that you had to witness that, Leslie . I should have let you get prepared for the challenge ahead.” Max was so sweet with his apology, and that made me smile just like him.“Don’t worry about me, I am tougher than you think.” “I am sure of that. That’s why I stood my ground, and I can assure that no one is going to do anything to you. You are mine, and mine alone.” I chuckled while were strode along the hallway, and I thought that we were headed to the room until he moved toward the throne room. “There is someone I want you to meet, Leslie .” He said, increasing the pace of his steps while I slowed down.“Who is that?” I asked with a whisper, not certain that I was ready for any surprises. “Don’t worry. It’s not someone that you are not willing to see.” He
