Billionaire's Abused Wife 313. Noah in ladies' restroom with Jemma
Jemma stole glances at him, feeling more embarrassed with Jia's words echoing in her mind."What if someone sees us? You shouldn't have come in here," she blurted out."I don't care," he replied, always carefree when it came to her safety.His eyes landed on her exposed back. He flicked cigarette ash, not intentionally checking her out, but then his gaze fell on her exposed thigh, and he frowned."I suggest you change. I'll buy you a new dress right now," he suggested.Jemma turned off the tap and glared at him, squeezing her dress, "Are you kidding me? How childish does that sound!"Jemma stood near the hand dryer, trying to dry her dress, and started sneezing. Noah remembered those hand dryers never suited her; she'd end up having allergic reactions. He said, "Stop."Approaching her, he took off his blazer, "You... put this on and give me your dress.""What?" Jemma was shocked."Come on, give me your dress.""It's... It's okay. I'll manage.""You want to spend three days sneezing in
Billionaire's Abused Wife 314. Why can't I talk to you?
When they got back to the party, Jia's eyes landed on Jacob, who was standing with Sara and four more elders.Jia sighed, "That Jacob is your childhood friend, right?""Hmm..." Noah extinguished his cigarette and grabbed a drink."How dull! Why is he hanging out with the elders?"Noah explained, "The woman next to Mom is Mrs. Kasher, and the man in the black suit is Mr. Kasher. The others are Mr. and Mrs. Peterson.""Why are they all serious?""Probably talking about Laila.""Who's Laila?""Laila Peterson. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson want Jacob to be their son-in-law. They're figuring out a date for the event."Jia's face turned pale."Didn't she come to the party?" Jemma asked."No, she's a wedding planner. Must be working on someone else's wedding."Noticing Jemma yawning, Noah understood she was tired and needed some rest."You okay?" he asked her."Yeah..." she replied lazily.Noah looked at Jia, who was staring at Jacob."Jia, we're going back."Jia nodded simply."No, that's fine," Je
Billionaire's Abused Wife 315. Come to me
Jemma wiped her tears, lowered her head, and said, "I've seen it in the news. Every day, I used to watch it on television while lying in the hotel room when we were abroad.""What difference does it all make, Jemma? When you drink, I bring you home. I put my blazer on your shoulders. Don't I?""Yes, because I am your wife. Only I should wear your blazer; only I should be carried in your arms, brought back home."Noah was stunned. She had been thinking about all this all these days.Jemma turned away, sobbing, "I can't see all this. Why do you go to her? Why do you need to meet her?"Noah turned back and poured a drink for him.Noah never expected that Jemma would connect his small gestures and blow them out of proportion. He gulped down alcohol, trying to comprehend her thoughts. Then, slowly, Jemma wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and rested her head on his back, clinging to him.In a hoarse voice, she said, "I now understand how much pain you must feel seeing me with Ja
Billionaire's Abused Wife 316. Avoidance
Jia began her journey abroad for university studies, and Noah, being the protective brother, made sure she had everything she needed. He arranged a private apartment, a driver, and a car, and took care of all the necessary arrangements to ensure Jia's comfort and well-being in the new city.Adjusting to the new environment, Jia found ease in the vibrant university atmosphere that embraced her delicate heart. Noah, on the other hand, had to stay back in the same city for a few days, dealing with some business matters.Meanwhile, tensions lingered between Jemma and Noah. Despite the passage of time since the party night, their relationship had not evolved positively; instead, it seemed to drift further apart, wrapped in a cloud of hesitancy. Noah, choosing avoidance as his strategy, refrained from giving Jemma the time that could lead to uncomfortable or serious conversations.Jemma, unwilling to give up, continued hoping for a breakthrough. However, the more she tried, the more evident

Jia found herself in a mall, and her gaze locked with a familiar face. Recognition struck her, and she stiffened. How could he be here too?Jacob approached her with a casual "Hi."Jia managed a sad smile, responding, "Hi.""It's weird, we met here," Jacob commented."Don't tell me you're here with your wife. I can leave," Jia quipped."We haven't married yet. I'm here for business," Jacob explained.Jia smirked, "Alright. I'm not interested.""You seem pissed at me.""Oh, really? You just figured that out? Well, if you did, then congrats, Sherlock. It's true.""Can I know why?""Hahaha, you're asking why? Like you don't already know. Thanks to you, I'm stuck studying in this godforsaken place, far away from everyone, and you're asking why?""Because of me? I don't remember telling you to come here. Did we even talk about this?"Jia gritted her teeth, “You know what? Go to hell.” She threw her clutch at him and walked away. Jacob wasn't about to let her stay annoyed. He followed her,
Billionaire's Abused Wife 318. Say yes, or you'll break my heart
The evening was bathed in beauty as the sun dipped below the horizon.Jacob, feeling the warmth of the moment, took off his warm coat and draped it over her shoulders. They sat together in the car, a comfortable silence enveloping them. Jacob lit a cigarette, the smoke curling into the crisp evening air.The air was charged with the aftermath of the passionate kiss, leaving both of them momentarily speechless. Jacob, eager to break the silence, couldn't help but wonder about how she felt about the wild kiss. He discreetly peeked at her swollen lips and blushed face, sighing deeply. The realization hit him – the girl was so young and innocent.Jia opened up, "I have only one friend here, Avantika. But she always sticks to her boyfriend."Jacob, curious, questioned, "Then why didn't you make a boyfriend for yourself?"With a nonchalant expression, Jia replied, "Go on a date, kiss, have sex, sit on his lap, feel shy in front of him, celebrate weekly, monthly, yearly anniversaries—I can't
Billionaire's Abused Wife 319. Got something for you
Noah remarked sarcastically, "Looks like you had a nice discussion with Sebastian.""He's surprisingly cool, you know? Way different from dealing with Lianne Pal. He's laid-back."Noah raised an eyebrow, "Laid-back, huh?""Yeah, he's not as tough as his sister. We had a good discussion today. You know what? He doesn’t want to argue about any of my strategies. He said I can decide whatever I want, and he'll just sign the papers. It's such a relief. He didn’t even want to check the data. He just said he'd sign the papers tomorrow."Noah smirked, "He's quite interested in you.""What do you mean?"Noah glanced at her palm. Jemma followed his gaze and realized he had seen Sebastian pecking her hand. She lowered her gaze, holding her palm.He didn't say anything, letting the silence linger.The next evening…Jemma and Sebastian met in a luxury restaurant. The ambience around them didn't feel like the kind of place to discuss business. It seemed more fitting for a perfect date. Jemma, with
Billionaire's Abused Wife 320. Start with a damn hug
Jemma's smile faded, “What’s this?”"A tiny gift.""How can I take it? It’s...""Come on! Today's the first day of our friendship. We danced, it's only fitting. Allow me."He leaned in, putting the necklace around her neck. They were close, and he gave her lips a serious look. Jemma lowered her eyes hesitantly.He grinned, “Thanks for taking it. It looks rad on your neck.”Jemma smiled, "Thanks."Sebastian took her hand and gave it a peck, making her feel a bit awkward. "Catch you around."She nodded, "Good night.""See ya."She strolled into the apartment building, and he kept watching her until she disappeared from his view.Jemma walked into the apartment, finding it pitch dark. She had no clue that Noah was home. She flicked on the lights and spotted Noah standing by the couch, his gaze intense."Jimmy..." She felt uneasy under his scrutinizing look."You left the office early," he remarked."Yeah, had a meeting."Noah shot a cold glance at the necklace around her neck and said, "
