All Chapters of The Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Scarred Wife Back: Chapter 41 - Chapter 46

Elodie's POVI opened the message."Your father and I need to speak with you. Call me when you get home. We cannot keep pretending everything is fine when you're making decisions that will affect this entire family."I read it twice before locking my phone.My mother had never been particularly interested in what I wanted. Even now, she seemed more concerned about how my decision would affect the family than why I had reached it in the first place.“Elodie?”I looked up. Adam was approaching from the auditorium, his script tucked beneath his arm.“Are you leaving already?”“I thought I'd let you get back to work. You've already got enough to deal with.”He chuckled. “That's true, but I don't think the director will mind if I steal a few more minutes.”I smiled. “What is it?”“I wanted to ask whether you've given her offer any thought.”I glanced towards the stage, where the cast had resumed rehearsing. “It's an interesting opportunity.

Elodie's POVI spent most of the morning in my bedroom, going through the documents the theatre's assistant had sent me.The previous day's conversation with Kevin occasionally came back to mind.

Perhaps he was only trying to understand the arrangement, as he had claimed. Still, I found it strange that Adam had become such a significant part of his questions when the opportunity itself had very little to do with him.I pushed the thought aside. Whatever Kevin's reasons

Elodie's POV By the time I finished getting dressed, Kevin was gone.I found the bedroom door slightly ajar and the appointment folder still inside the drawer where I had left it. For a moment, I considered moving it somewhere safer, but there was no reason to hide it. He had already seen the confirmation. Whether he liked what it said or not, nothing about my plans had changed.I collected my bag and headed downstairs.The housekeeper had prepared breakfast, and I sat at the dining table long enough to eat something before leaving. My phone buzzed while I was checking the time.It was a message from the theatre assistant.The director would like to speak with you when you arrive. He wants to go over the arrangements for your role.I replied that I would be there shortly.The journey to the theatre was uneventful. I spent most of it reviewing the notes I had made the previous evening, particularly the sections the musical director wanted me to examine. There was still plenty to do be
