After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 205
“Don’t worry, Mommy, I’m totally ready!” Alex declared confidently, his voice brimming with enthusiasm. He wasn’t just ready for the party. He had a secret mission: finding Mommy a boyfriend. On TV, every heroine had a boyfriend, and sometimes, there were even several men competing for her affection. But his Mommy? Not a single boyfriend in sight. It was heartbreaking, and Alex, always the little worrier, was determined to fix that. Haley and Helen each held one of the twins’ hands as they led the boys to join the gathering. Upstairs, the photographer snapped a beautiful family portrait before they all headed down to the party. Some guests had already arrived and were mingling downstairs, glasses clinking as they toasted. Evelyn, joined by Wilfred, Haley, and the twins, gave a heartfelt speech in the center of the hall, elevating the party’s atmosphere. Together, the group helped the boys cut their cake, officially kicking off the festivities. After the ceremony, Alex ca

Haley reached out to grab the gift, intending to ask the staff to toss it later. With so many boxes, losing track of one or two seemed inevitable. Evelyn quickly stopped her. “It’s just a gift, Haley. If Chase likes it, let him open it and see.” “You can’t live life fearing every little thing,” she added pointedly, her words meant more for her eldest daughter than anyone else. Haley froze for a moment, taking in her mother’s words. She was right—it was just a gift. They all lived on the same planet, and no one could avoid crossing paths forever. It wasn’t worth living in constant fear. Slowly, Haley withdrew her hand. Chase glanced at his grandmother, then at his mom, before lowering his gaze to the box and carefully unwrapping it. Inside were two kids’ smartwatches. RC Corporation’s CEO, Justin Yates, rarely concerned himself with the details of gifts sent to business partners. This one had been personally chosen by Sam. Chase’s face lit up. He loved gadgets, and whi

Seeing her response, Justin didn’t press the issue further and got into the car, leaving without another word.When they arrived at the pre-booked hotel, Justin collected his room key from the front desk. Moments later, Emma’s car conveniently pulled up. At the reception, she greeted him with a casual smile. “Justin, if I’d known you were staying at this hotel too, I’d have hitched a ride with you.” As luck—or design—would have it, their rooms were not only in the same hotel but directly next to each other. Standing by her door, Emma leaned slightly against the frame, facing him. “Justin, how about grabbing a casual dinner together tonight? There’s this private dining spot nearby that’s amazing.”Justin, already halfway inside his room, responded coldly, “I have a dinner meeting tonight. Maybe another time.” Before she could offer to accompany him, his door closed, cutting her off mid-sentence. Across the hall, Sam and William quietly entered their own rooms, their profession

In the afternoon, Justin’s private jet landed back in Lincourt City. On the way home, his phone rang—it was his mother, Heidi.“Hello, Mom,” Justin answered.“Are you free tonight after work? Come home and have dinner with me. It’s been ages since I’ve seen you,” Heidi said, not waiting for his reply before continuing. “And don’t try to use work as an excuse. I already called your secretarial team. They told me you don’t have any meetings, events, or overtime scheduled for tonight.”Justin’s expression darkened as he shot a warning glance at Sam in the front passenger seat. Catching his boss’s stern look in the rearview mirror, Sam understood the message loud and clear: “Keep your team in check.”Awkwardly, Sam rubbed the bridge of his nose. How was he supposed to know one of the assistants would leak his boss’s schedule to Heidi? Now he was caught in the crossfire.“Mom, if you miss me, I’ll come visit. But you can’t keep using that as an excuse to sneakily set me up on blind dat

In Haven State, Justin and Zac had just wrapped up a busy morning of work and were stepping out of the central hospital building when a small figure darted toward them from across the street. “Hi! I got separated from my aunt. Can I borrow your phone to call her?” It was Alex. From afar, he had already spotted these two men. One of them exceptionally handsome. Definitely someone who would match his mom perfectly. “Oh? Where’d this little guy come from?” Zac walked over, ruffling Alex’s hair. He turned to Justin and asked, “Do you know him?” Justin shook his head, his tone cool and detached. “No.” That cold, detached voice—why did it sound so familiar? Alex wondered, squinting at Justin thoughtfully. He couldn’t quite place it, so he decided not to dwell on it. Alex never liked making things hard for himself. Zac scanned the area, frowning. “What’s your name? Where are your parents? How could they lose track of you like this?“Tell you what,” Zac continued. “How ab

“Hello, Aunt!” Alex’s cheerful voice came through the phone. Helen froze mid-step as she was about to push the door open, her heart plunging into freefall like a roller coaster. Hearing Alex’s voice brought her crashing back to solid ground. “Alex, where did you go? Do you have any idea how worried I was when you disappeared?” Helen’s voice trembled, a mix of relief and frustration. The thought of losing Alex on her watch terrified her. How could she face her sister, or the entire family, if something had happened to him? “Um…” Alex’s big, expressive eyes darted nervously, guilt flashing across his face. “Uh-oh, Aunt Helen sounds mad,” he thought to himself.Justin and Zac stood nearby, keeping an eye on Alex as he made the call. Worried that Alex might struggle to explain their location, Justin reached out, ready to take the phone and provide the address himself. But just as his hand extended, Alex confidently recited their exact location into the phone, his words cl

“Oh, okay, Aunt,” Alex replied obediently, handing the phone back to Justin. Although Alex didn’t understand why his aunt didn’t come over to thank them—something he found quite impolite—he knew he couldn’t afford to be rude himself. With a polite smile, he sincerely said, “Thank you, Mr. Yates and Mr. White. My aunt is waiting for me over there, so I’ll head back now.”Justin frowned, his concern evident. What kind of parent or guardian lets a child wander off and doesn’t even come to fetch them? Letting the kid walk back alone felt irresponsible.“We’ll walk you over,” he said firmly, unwilling to let the child go by himself.Alex waved his hand. “It’s fine, Mr. Yates. It’s really close! I’ll call you when I get home, okay?” A glimmer of mischief flashed in Alex’s big, sparkling eyes. Now that he had Mr. Yates’s phone number, staying in touch wouldn’t be a problem. “Alright, but be careful. We’ll watch you until you’re safe.”“Got it!” Alex chirped, jogging to the corner be

When Sean first saw them again at university, he was thrilled. However, when he learned that Haley had children and that she had been pregnant during the earthquake, his emotions took a heavy toll. That night, he returned to his dorm and cried in private. Haley’s survival and her safe delivery were nothing short of miraculous, but the thought of her enduring so much pain enraged him. He cursed Justin inwardly for being such a bastard. The next morning, when they crossed paths again, Sean’s eyes were visibly swollen. After graduating, Sean chose to stay in Merika State, where he launched a tech company that quickly became a major success. Meanwhile, Haley and Helen teamed up to open an art gallery. Haley’s name made a triumphant return to the art scene, with her focusing on her creations while Helen managed operations and acted as her agent. *At the gallery, Haley donned an apron and worked alongside her team, arranging paintings and preparing the exhibition space for an up

Chase remembered Anya mentioning that Uncle Justin was single, unmarried, with no girlfriend or wife. This made him suspicious. Based on his aunt’s reaction that day, it seemed like she might know something. Could Mommy possibly know Uncle Justin? From outside the room came Richard’s loud call, “Chase, log in! Come play a game with me!” Chase quickly closed the browser, shut his laptop, and went to find Richard. If Aunt Alex knew Justin, then Uncle Richard might know him too. Should he casually bring it up with Uncle Richard? A second later, he shook his head. Judging by his aunt’s animated reaction, it was probably best not to ask. He likely wouldn’t get much out of it anyway. His uncle and aunt were equally sharp-tongued. “Chase, are you coming or what? Hurry up!” Richard yelled again from the living room, too lazy to get up and fetch him. “I’m coming!” Chase headed downstairs, where Richard was lounging on the couch, legs crossed, laptop propped on his kne

This was the first time Justin had ever lost his temper with Emma. After signing the document, he immediately ordered her out of his office. Outside in the hallway, Steven hurried over with a sycophantic smile, bowing slightly as he asked, “Miss Xander, what did Mr. Yates say? Do you know where he was yesterday?” Steven’s question was like pouring fuel on the fire. Emma, already brimming with frustration, snapped, “Get lost!” before stomping off in her high heels, leaving the top floor in a huff. “Whoever’s behind this, I’ll find you and expose you, no matter who you are!” she silently vowed.*Back in her office, Emma pushed open the door, only to find Jacob sitting casually in her chair, his legs crossed and his polished leather shoes lightly tapping the air. Startled, she quickly shut the door. “What are you doing here? Get out!” she said, frowning, her expression full of disdain. Jacob didn’t move. Instead, he spun the chair leisurely, exuding the air of an idle

The focus was on Haley. Even though Justin had business dealings with him, when it came to Haley’s romantic world, Justin was no different from an object. If his sister wanted something, she could have it, and if she grew tired of it, she could toss it aside like garbage without hesitation. Haley shook her head firmly. “No.” She had a strong sense of emotional boundaries and would never choose someone who disrespected her. *The next morning, Justin arrived at work wearing the new shirt Haley had bought him. Just as he reached his office door, Emma came hurrying after him, heels clicking loudly against the floor. “Justin, where were you yesterday? I couldn’t find you all day,” Emma said sweetly, clutching a folder in her hands. Since yesterday morning, Justin had been secretly following Haley’s car. He had trailed her to the art exhibit and waited until she left. Haley never realized she was being followed. He pushed open the office door, and Emma followed him insi

Haley’s car was parked a short distance from the door. She walked over and said, “I don’t need you to take me.” “It’s dark, and the roads aren’t safe. Let me drive you,” Justin insisted, his tone firm. “The most unsafe factor here is you,” Haley shot back as she opened the car door. Fearing he might follow her, she turned to add, “Enough with this endless nonsense! Didn’t you say all your cars were in for maintenance? How are you planning to drive me—by sitting in my car and pretending to take me? Then when we get there, you’ll claim you don’t have a way back?“Justin, stop with these childish games!” She was genuinely afraid he would pull a stunt like that. Without waiting for a response, she got into her car as though she were being chased by a ghost, slamming the door shut and speeding off. Justin didn’t have a chance to stop her. Watching her car disappear, he pulled out his phone from his suit pocket and called William. “Bring the car around to pick me up immediate

“I won’t be home for dinner tonight. I have some things to take care of.” “Got it,” Helen replied coolly. Earlier at lunch, Haley had also sent her a message, letting her know not to wait. She ended the call. “Is Wilfred… good to you?” Justin’s voice came from behind her, filled with pain. Was she checking in with Wilfred? Did she love him now? Haley turned, her cold gaze locking onto Justin. “Everyone treats me well—except you.” Justin’s chest tightened, the words cutting deep. His face turned pale, and his head dropped as he murmured an apology, his voice timid and full of regret. “I’m sorry. It was my fault. I’ll change. Can you…” forgive me? “Don’t bother changing,” Haley interrupted sharply. “Just stop bothering me.” She hadn’t come here to listen to his meaningless apologies. It wasn’t until Mrs. Zimmer returned that Haley finally escaped into the kitchen, offering to help. Though she wasn’t much help at all, it gave her a moment of peace. *At d

“You’re right—look at me, getting all excited and just standing here hugging you at the door,” Mrs. Zimmer said, wiping her tears and pulling Haley inside with a cheerful laugh. “Getting old really messes with your memory!” “Come, sit down! Hannah, get the big cherries from the fridge and wash them. Miss Yates loves those. Mr. Yates just had them delivered yesterday, and now here you are!” Mrs. Zimmer bustled around, already busy as they entered the house. Haley gently grabbed her hand. “Mrs. Zimmer, don’t go to so much trouble. I just came to see you for a bit. I’ll be heading back soon.” “So soon?” Mrs. Zimmer’s face fell with disappointment. “Can’t you stay a little longer? It’s already afternoon—why not wait until after dinner? I remember you loved my sea urchin ravioli. Stay, and I’ll make them for dinner before you go, okay?” Faced with Mrs. Zimmer’s heartfelt plea, Haley found herself unable to refuse outright. She struggled internally before finally saying, “I have

“I’m not hungry!” Haley looked at him as if he were trash—something not even worth a second glance. She turned away and strode toward her car. “Haley, I’m sorry. Don’t be mad,” Justin apologized humbly, though he had no idea what he had said wrong to upset her. But if someone was at fault, it had to be him. “If you don’t want me to drive, I won’t. If you don’t want to eat Japanese food, we can change plans. Just tell me—what do you like now? I want to know more about your preferences.” He felt like a fool. Of course, she had changed over the past five years. Why was he still treating her as if she were the same person from back then? He hadn’t been part of her life for those blank years, missing her growth and transformation. Now, he wanted to make up for it—no matter the cost. “Let go!“We’re even now, Justin. Don’t bother me again!” Haley drew a clear boundary. He refused to let go. “My car’s with William for maintenance, and I left my phone at the office. I

“This one has a business-style design and it’s sophisticated and professional,” the sales associate explained enthusiastically. “And this one is more casual, giving off a fresh and energetic vibe.”“We’ll take both. Wrap them up now,” Haley said decisively. The sales associate beamed, thrilled at how quickly the transaction was moving. “No way,” Justin interrupted. “I haven’t tried them on yet. What if they don’t fit? I don’t want to trouble you by making you come back with me.” Haley suppressed her anger. So, he did know he was troubling her! If that was the case, then why wasn’t he choosing faster? Justin was deliberately dragging things out, trying to spend as much time with her as possible. He carried both shirts into the fitting room, putting one on before stepping out each time to ask her if it looked good. Haley gave him perfunctory responses. While he was in the fitting room, she went ahead and paid for both shirts, not wanting to give him the chance to claim

Haley was rendered speechless. Her fingers froze mid-scroll. If she ordered a custom shirt for him now, it would take at least a week before he could wear it. Her pale fingers gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. Justin was doing this on purpose! Haley put down her phone with a cold expression, fastened her seatbelt, and started the car, heading toward the nearest mall. Justin’s lips curled into a small, triumphant smile. The car moved quietly along the road. Haley focused on driving, her eyes locked on the road ahead, treating the man beside her as if he didn’t exist. Justin suddenly broke the silence. “Back then… you were pregnant. Is that child… still okay?” Haley slammed on the brakes at a red light, and the car came to an abrupt halt. Justin’s body lurched forward slightly. She turned her head, her icy gaze locking onto him, her voice even colder. “How do you know about that?” “The hospital called to reschedule your surgery, and I an
