All Chapters of Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The girl touched him without realizing it.Calder drew in a sharp breath and clenched his jaw. His dark eyes narrowed.“What are you trying to do?”Nola grabbed his knee and looked up at him. Her beautiful face was filled with innocent apology.“Sorry. My legs went numb…”The sight stirred Calder all over again.He held her by the shoulders, pulled her out from beneath the table, trapped her in his arms, and kissed her hard.He had discovered that in front of her, all his self control and discipline became worthless.All she had to do was blink at him innocently, and ripples would spread through his heart.He had never experienced anything like it in all his years.Nola lost her breath beneath his kiss. She curled into his embrace, surrounded by his burning presence and the faint, crisp scent that clung to him.The kiss left her entire body tingling and weak.She liked the way he kissed her. The pleasure was impossible to describe.Just as he nearly lost control, Calder cupped her fac

“They did not say. I do not know either.”After giving his answer, the server turned and left the private room.Several of Soren’s friends crowded closer.“What is inside? Open it and see.”There was nothing written on the envelope.Soren opened it and found several photographs inside.He pulled them out and saw a man and woman embracing and kissing.“Damn, who sent these? Who are the people in the photos?”The date and time were printed along the bottom edge. They had been taken only an hour ago.The pictures were taken at night. There was some light, but not enough to make the figures clear. Soren could not recognize either person.“The woman’s face is partly visible. Why does she look a little like Meryl?”“Meryl? Damn, she really does.”Once his friends finished speaking, they all looked at Soren with sympathy.It seemed there was a hint of green over his head.Had they said nothing, Soren would never have thought of it.But after their reminder, he looked again carefully.Who els

“I did not make that post. What right do you have to sue me?”Nola looked Rebecca up and down, then asked curiously, “How did you get out so quickly?”Rebecca sneered.“The police finished their investigation. The fire in the chemistry building was caused by phosphorus igniting on its own. I did not start it, so of course they released me. Did you really think such a cheap trick could bring me down?”Fortunately, her mother and grandfather had hired the best lawyer and secured her release.She had been cleared of suspicion, and the school would not punish her either.“Rebecca, stop assuming everyone is as twisted as you. Instead of wasting time arguing with me, you should think about how you are going to explain all those scandals on the forum to your precious campus heartthrob.”Nola pulled Sierra away.Before leaving, Sierra added one final blow.“Rebecca, I hope you and Wesley get married soon and have a baby right away.”Rebecca’s delicate face went stiff with rage.Wesley probabl

“Nothing.”Meryl walked past him toward the guest room.Seeing her treat him as though he did not exist, the anger Soren had suppressed since the night before rose again.She could get so close to her former fiancé, yet the moment she saw him, she acted as though he were air.Was he really that bad?Back in the room, Meryl removed the dress stained with dried blood.She had just taken out a change of clothes from the wardrobe when the door suddenly opened.Seeing Soren enter, she hurriedly covered herself with the clothes in her hands.“Why did you not knock?”With her back against the wardrobe door, Meryl looked at him in embarrassment.“Why would I knock in my own house?”Soren spoke as though it were only natural.He walked in carrying a medical kit.The man raised his handsome brows and glanced at her before gesturing with his chin.“Sit down. I will put some medicine on it.”“There is no need. I already covered it with a bandage.”Meryl refused.“You talk too much.”Soren walked

“Mr. Rook, I brought Nola something to eat.”A knock sounded outside.“Come in.”Calder answered, and Rachel entered with a tray.“Nola, that is enough. Get up and eat.”He stood in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back, every inch the stern head of the household.Nola stayed curled beneath the covers with her back to him, though the corners of her mouth kept twitching.What a performance.“She never listens. Rachel, talk to her.”Calder delivered the order with a grave face, then left the room.Rachel suspected nothing. She set down the tray and came to the bedside.“Miss Nola, do not stay angry on an empty stomach. Mr. Rook specifically asked me to make all this for you. Come have a taste.”Nola lowered the blanket, revealing a flushed little face. Then she climbed out of bed and ate without another protest.Calder had a point.Why punish herself over one unreasonable old man?Later that night, after finishing his work in the study, Calder went upstairs to check on h
