All Chapters of Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

AURORAMelody’s eyes were already teary. She sniffed, but this time her tears didn’t touch Catherine.Catherine’s jaw was set, and her lips trembled. It was the first time I had seen her so mad at Melody. She raised her hand, and Melody trembled back in fear. Catherine still couldn’t bring herself to hurt her, no matter how angry she was.I had been hit countless times because of Melody, and yet even when Melody was publicly loud and wrong, Catherine’s bias couldn’t be helped.“I didn’t mean to…” Melody sniffed. She turned sharply to Henry. “It’s Henry; he bought the gift, and he told me that…”Henry gasped and took a step forward. “Mrs. Sterling, I am sorry. I thought I bought the real gift.”I now see why they were such a perfect pair. He was just as manipulative as she was.“I sent my men. They must have gotten scammed,” he continued. He pulled out his phone from his pocket, ready to act as he could resolve it.“I will call them right away and make sure I get to the bottom of this.

AURORAI was pushing the noodles into my mouth as fast as I could. I didn’t want to look at Alexander because I was afraid he'd catch me staring.“You still owe me a date,” he said slowly.I raised my eyes to him. He was focused on the box in his hands. His eyes didn’t meet mine for a second.“This can be a date,” I said, puffing out my cheeks and looking down at my lap.“This?” He gestured to the scattered boxes in front of us. “Not quite.” He shook his head when I nodded.“Then what is this?”“Just husband and wife eating dinner together.”I swallowed and looked up at him. This time, our eyes met, and my stomach swirled. I looked away, unable to handle it.“So what do you want?”“Tomorrow is Sunday.” He shrugged. “I think we should do something.”“Okay.” I reached for a napkin and wiped the corner of my lips. “What do you want to do?”“There is a design exhibit…” He trailed off.I knew I had agreed to spend time with him tomorrow, but the thought of actually doing so was scary.I al

AURORA“Aurora, if it were any other woman besides me, it wouldn’t be the same.”I have no idea what to say. What was supposed to be the response to him saying that to me? If Chloe had not told me about his first love, I would have believed he had even the smallest inch of feeling for me.But if she was someone he couldn't even forget, then what did his words mean?“I have told you, you don't need to act with me. I understand that our relationship is fake.”“I told you, Aurora… stop saying our relationship is fake.”“If it isn't, then what is it?” My voice was louder than I intended it to be. I bit my bottom lip to stop myself from asking about his first love.I had gone through one too many heartbreaks to do this to myself again. This time, I was not banking on love. I was going to make sure I was ready to move if I had to.“The marriage certificate is real. That's all that matters.”“Alexander, you…”His phone began ringing. He pulled away from me, his eyes flickering to the screen

AURORA“Alexander!” I squeaked, jumping out of his arms. I stood at a distance, glaring at him.How was he so comfortable with saying things like that without batting an eye? I shuffled and looked down at my dress because I was ashamed to look at him without getting flustered.“How are you always so easily flustered?” he asked, crossing his arms over his chest and tilting his head gently.“Because you always say things like that with a straight face.”“Things like what?” he asked with a pointed look on his face.My face was warm, and I was on the verge of burning up, and he was just standing opposite me with the calmest expression I had ever seen.“Things like…” I trailed off when a smirk made the corners of his lips turn up. He was trying to push me to say it, too.I straightened my back and gave him a serious look at him. “Anyways, you are not allowed to say things like that without any warning.”He nodded once and unfolded his arms. With one large stride, he closed the gap between

AURORA"Mr. Vance, don't get carried away,” I said, a teasing smile playing on my lips. “Simply because of a cheek kiss.”His lips spread into a smile. He hunched over so he was looking me in the eyes as he picked his words carefully.“A kiss from my wife is a promising start.”I groaned to hide the smile on my face and the pleasure in my chest. I couldn't deny that I was falling more and more for this man's sweet talk.“Don't get cocky.”“Aurora, any man would be like me and get cocky if they got a kiss from you.” He then stood up straight and wrapped a hand around my shoulder, pulling me into him.“Lucky me, I get it for the rest of my life.”He sounded so sure that we were never going to part. I wondered if he would still say such things when his first love returned.I shook off the thoughts and smacked him playfully on the hand. “You need to get treated for your sweet mouth.”“I know a cure.”“What?” I asked and then regretted it immediately when his brows wiggled. He puckered his
