Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 23. Unfinished Business
Nikkie's POV"Would you like some peppermint tea?" asked Sharon after I finished my morning sickness routine. I nodded slowly, washing my mouth as I watched the image of Sharon stepping out of my room.The medicine Aaron gave me didn't seem to be compelling enough to relieve the nausea immediately. Even so, I was grateful that the nausea wasn't so severe and didn't make me feel too weak.Last night's question ended without an answer. Without an explanation, Richard hasn't said anything since that night until today. Usually, he would take the time to come to me in the morning to check on my condition. Or help me with my nape and back when morning sickness strikes. But today, he had even left for the office first. I washed my face to calm my raging feelings. It's too early in the morning to feel stressed. I need to think about this from another perspective.Sometimes, silence is also the answer. Maybe Richard just showed too much affection to everyone close to him. A kiss on the foreh
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 24. Trying to Set Boundaries
Nikkie's POV"What's wrong with you? Are you mad at me? You've been acting weird since yesterday!" Krystal retorted in a tone that had gone up an octave. Krystal's gaze flashed defiantly at her husband.That's right. This time, I was sure there was something wrong with Richard. Krystal had been behaving normally and pleasantly all day. The problem is with Richard. Didn't Richard say that the problem between him and Krystal was over? Or is it not? Krystal rolled her eyes in annoyance. She turned her body around, left the dining room, and went to the second floor. Krystal left me and Richard in awkward silence. I know, generally, at a time like this, people would lose their appetite. But not me. I still felt hungry. However, eating at a time like this would be rude, wouldn't it? As I was still staring at the almost-cold chicken soup, my ears picked up the sound of shoe treads descending the stairs.Krystal came down the stairs looking like someone going to a club. "Krystal, where a
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 25. Krystal; in the Club
Krystal's POV"Why are you so quiet? Is there someone else you're thinking about besides me?" someone asked in a bass voice right in my ear. I glanced at the handsome man in a black shirt and pants next to me. He looked back at me intently. His irises, gray like Richard's, were beautiful and seductive. Among the frenetic music at my favorite elite club, staring at him could make me lose focus of my surroundings. I rested my head against his broad shoulder, seeking comfort. "You haven't answered my question, Krystal." He demanded again, this time accompanied by his hands on my hips. "There are many things you'd have to think about if you were me, you know?" I replied in a lazy tone. The man chuckled softly, picked up the glass of wine, and handed it to me. "You can tell me. I'll do whatever you say," Chris said. I took a sip of wine, then shook my head."Is something bothering you?" as usual, this man never left me alone. He never allowed himself to be ignoran. Also, he would do a
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 26. Got Caught by Krystal
Krystal's POV"There's nothing. I thought I saw someone I knew, but I was wrong. Let's go," I replied, trying to calm Chris down. I took him by the arm, trying to distract him.Chris didn't seem satisfied with my answer. His eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze circulated the club but found nothing but people he didn't recognize. Chris glanced at me with a frown on his lips. "Is that person your new lover?"Chris's question inevitably made me roll my eyes in annoyance. This is what I don't like about him. Chris is stupid and jealous—a troublesome combination.But I can't be mad at him. Despite his stupidity, Chris was the most competent man in bed. The technique he had was able to satisfy me to squirt many times. This fact consistently reduced my anger when Chris started to trouble me with his combination of stupid traits.I stood on tiptoe, then gave Chris a long peck on the cheek. "Why would I have a new lover if I have the one I like the most here?"Even Richard never got such a spoile
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 27. A Hidden CCTV
Nikkie's POV"What? Tired, you say? Good, then what do you want now?" exclaimed Krystal in a high voice. Anger was evident in her tone.It's still early in the morning, but already things are surprising me. As I recall, last night, Richard did not go straight back to him. Even so, I still told Richard to go back to his room. Sleeping in Richard's company sounded tempting, but it would blur the boundaries I had worked so hard to build. "I'll go back upstairs once you're asleep." So said Richard, and after that, he didn't want to listen to anything anymore. Instead, Richard tightened the embrace of his arms around my waist. I shouldn't have trusted Richard's words so quickly. I should not have slept well until morning to wake Richard up before morning came.But who would have thought that Krystal would come home so early? Even Richard didn't seem to expect it at all.Then, why is it that at a time like this, my morning sickness can't even be compromised? Nausea attacked, and somethin
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 28. Another Quarrel
Krystal's POV"Are you going back now?" asked the man with the green iris beside me. I didn't notice him because I was too lost in my thoughts. He handed me a mug of coffee. I accepted it and took a sip. I glanced at my cell phone. Unlike usual, when I disappeared without any news for more than a day, Richard would send me dozens of text messages and calls.Now, it turned into just one text message.[Please come back. There's nothing between me and Nikkie.] That was the message I received two days ago, right after I left home.This is the first time since I got into a relationship with him. I don't understand, but it's not Nikkie's fault. Poor girl, I still remember the confused look and scared expression she showed on the morning when I returned from the hotel.That's right, the one who changed was Richard. The CCTV footage I saw the other day also explains the same thing. Ever since I got to know Nikkie, I had no clue that Nikkie would try to snatch my husband.Especially with
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 29. Nikkie Moves Again
Nikkie's POV"Krystal! You're back!" I exclaimed in surprise. I didn't hear the sound of the front door opening because I was too engrossed in showing Sharon the ultrasound photo of the baby. I had wanted to show it to Sharon for a long time, but only today did I have the chance."Can't I go back to my own house?" Krystal asked coldly. I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead. I quickly shook my head. "It's not that, Krystal. I mean, I'm glad that you're back home!" Sharon and I both talked about the ultrasound photos happily. Sharon even told me about the difficulties Richard and Krystal had faced in getting an heir. However, all the excitement was suddenly dispelled by Krystal's arrival.Krystal folded her arms across her chest, her eyes looking at me with a flat expression. Krystal's gaze fell on the object in my hand. Ah, I forgot to answer her question."Oh, this is the ultrasound photo that Doctor Aaron gave me. He forgot to give it to me during the gynecological exa
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 30. Richard's Changes
Krystal's POV"Hello, Richard? Have you had dinner yet? How about we have dinner together and reconcile?" I asked on the phone.Richard, on the other end, could be heard letting out a long sigh. He seemed to feel strange about my sudden invitation. Looking back, I had never asked Richard to talk to me first. If we fought, Richard was always the first to make up, either by taking me to a romantic dinner together or buying me jewelry or the latest clothes from my favorite brand. I smiled sarcastically, half-mocking myself. Just to prove my suspicions about my own husband's feelings for the surrogate mother, I'd done something I'd never done."Okay, Krystal. Where are you now? Do you want to be picked up?" asked Richard after a long pause. I had to check my phone line again to see if we were still connected."Where are you right now? I'm on the road," I replied while slowing down the pressure on the gas pedal. "I'm at a restaurant in the suburbs. I'll give you the address via text mes
