All Chapters of Too Late, Mr. Billionaire; I'm Getting Married!: Chapter 21 - Chapter 25

Edward's cold, distant face slowly grew colder. Even his eyes and brows took on a chill that cut to the bone.He set down his glass and lifted his icy gaze to Dax."What do you think?"Dax worked up his courage and took a guess."I think you like her at least a little. Otherwise, why would you get so angry when Victor said he slept with her that you poured wine all over her?"Edward gave a cold laugh."She slept with Victor Robinson right after we split. I wasn't used to it, so I taught her a lesson. And now that means I like her?"As he spoke, the chill in his eyes faded. What was left was only cool indifference, as if the woman he had punished meant nothing to him at all.Seeing him like this, Dax quietly let out a breath of relief.His cousin was obsessive about cleanliness. Of course he would struggle to accept that a woman he had been with had turned around and slept with someone else so quickly.Besides, the moment Aeliyah came back, Edward had ended things with Estelle.That sa

Anything of his made her sick. She wasn't keeping a single thing.She closed the lid, then went into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and lay down in the tub.She grabbed the loofah and scrubbed her face and back as hard as she could. Only when her skin was red and raw did she stop and look at herself in the mirror.Without makeup, all that was left was a sickly paleness. There was no life in her face at all.

She had her dignity..."Dignity."Estelle turned the word over in her mouth and gave a bitter, self-mocking laugh.From the moment she sold herself to Edward, she had stopped

Estelle pushed her IV pole back toward her room.Natalie was just returning with the soup. When she saw Estelle out of bed, she hurried over."Your fever just broke and you're already wandering around? Do you have a death wish?"She pressed Estelle down onto the edge of the bed and put on her sternest face."You have a heart condition. You need to be more careful."Warmth spread through Estelle's chest. She pressed her lips together and smiled."I went to get my test results."Natalie pulled the lid off the soup container and kept scolding her."I told you I'd get them for you. Why are you running around?"Then she held out her hand, worried."Where's the report? Let me see."Estelle blinked.She didn't want to lie to Natalie. But she did it anyway, against her own heart."I took it to the doctor to go over it. I left it in his office."Natalie didn't think twice. All she cared about was Estelle's health."So what did it say?"Estelle answered slowly and calmly. "It was just a blood t
