I immediately swallowed hard because I saw his serious face. Well, he's always been like this, but now he's very serious, and it seems like he's hard to talk to. I don't see any boss in his face, which is why, even though I feel nervous now, I won't miss that opportunity.

"I need to talk to you," I answered.

One of his eyebrows was slightly raised, so I kept looking at him. I don't know how to start!

"What is it? Tell me right away because I need to rest," he said to me.

I swallowed again because there was something different about him now. Why does he seem to talk to me differently now? I feel something about his behavior tonight, especially talking to me just now.

Because I didn't know how to start telling him, I just took my printed ultrasound from my bag. Both of my hands were shaking while I took it. I don't care if he's tired now and needs to rest as long as I don't let this night pass so I can tell him I'm pregnant and he's the father.

"H-Here," I said, then handed him th

    Tito Christian's voice sounded like thunder when we heard that. Lucas immediately approached his two brothers to wean them. They both stopped because our parents were already there. I closed my eyes tightly because it was not in this situation that I wanted to tell them everything, but Sabrina there just whispered to me to cheer me up. The door was closed, and we were the only family inside. I was surprised when I looked at Mom and Dad with surprised faces as they looked at me with puffy eyes. "Why did you call us, Lisette? And what should we talk about? Is there a problem?" Daddy asked one after another. "Good news or bad news?" asked Mommy. "Both," answered Aunt. "Then let's start with the good news," said Lucas, who also had no idea. Aunt Lisette looked at me and nodded to me as if to signal that I was the one to say it, but I shook my head because I felt my tongue suddenly retract. "Lily's pregnant, and the father is my son, Cristiano, Aunt Lisette answered directly. "What

    That was a lot of fruit, and I was suddenly hungry, even early. I saw that it had no effect on Janeth, so I took some and also ate while signing my papers. Just a few moments later, my phone rang, so I immediately looked at it. It was just a text, but Liam had a message, so I immediately read it because it might be important. From Liam: I hope you like the fruits. Eat all of that to keep you and the baby healthy. I smiled because those were from him. I suddenly remembered his suggestion last night that he should marry me and take on the responsibility that Cristiano should do. I don't want that to happen because I'm sure Liam and our friendship will be wasted if we get married to each other. I want him to be happy, and he will not be happy when I become his wife. I'd rather suffer than see him hurt because of me. To Liam: Yeah, I received it. Thanks Liam! I put my phone aside when I was able to reply to him and continued what I was doing. I just signed and signed again there,

    "Get on the elevator first. I'll just follow. You'll see my bodyguards waiting downstairs," Cristiano told me. We're in front of the elevator now, and I'm just waiting for it to stop there. He was maybe two meters away from me, and he really didn't come close. I smiled and nodded to him because it was better that we were not together in the elevator. It would be embarrassing if I vomited there, and it might suddenly spread to the whole company that I was pregnant. When the elevator opened, I was very thankful because there was no one else on it, so I quickly entered. Cristiano and I looked at each other as the elevator door closed. I could see his serious looks at me as if he were thinking very deeply. The two of us just stared at each other until the door finally closed. Only three minutes passed until I got down to the parking area. Two men greeted me immediately while one was talking on the phone. "Yes, boss. The architect is with us." I heard him say this, so I smiled sparing

    "You will only hurt the girl you love the most if she finds out about this. I can talk to Dad and even your parents," I said to Cristiano. "She hurt me too. One more thing, we can't convince our parents. I know Dad and also your father; that's why they got along for a long time," he explained to me one after the other. I was speechless because what he said was true, but I still wanted to try. We know that this time they will give us permission. "You probably understand why I don't want the two of us to get married, right?" he added. I nodded to him and held my breath. "I don't want us to get married, but I promise you that I can take care of you and our baby. I will not abandon you, and I will support you in everything," he continued. "I agree with you and thank you for that, Cristiano. We can agree on things like that, but the only problem we have right now is our parents," I told him one after the other. He nodded as he drank his beer. When he finished, he immediately wiped h

    "Go! Spill the tea!" Stella said. They have been teasing me for a while to tell them that they should know, but I didn't tell them until the order of the four of us arrived. When all the food was served, they carved me again. "Can we eat first? At least two bites. I've been hungry for a while," I told them. I saw the two struggling at the same time, so I just laughed and started eating. They did the same thing, and I was able to hang it up and tell them that I was having second thoughts. They will also know about it in the next few days or weeks, so I don't want to prolong it. The three of them just sat there quietly while eating, looking at me as if they were waiting for me to speak again. I laughed at my nervousness and took a deep breath before finally speaking. "Don't be surprised, okay?" I told them. "Oh, come on, Lily. We can't promise that," Caroline replied. I laughed again and nodded. "I'm five weeks pregnant," I said. I looked at the three of them to see their react

    "What are you trying to emphasize, Liam? Don't tell me that you're still insisting on what you want?" Tito Christian asked Liam. We just stayed there quietly, and I looked back and forth at them. Tito kept looking at Liam as if waiting for someone to answer him while Liam sat lazily. He just looked at the fork he was holding and didn't say a word. "What you want to happen is impossible, Liam son. Yeah, we're family, but you're not involved here," said Aunt Lisette. "Mom and Dad are right, Liam. Just because you love Lily and Cristiano doesn't want to marry her doesn't mean you can take that responsibility," Lucas said now. They were quiet for a while when someone served us food, so Sabrina and I just looked at each other. Mom and Dad's eyes were busy with the food that was placed on the table. When the service crew left, Liam spoke again. "Lily will only be hurt if you marry her to a man who loves someone else. I love Lily and I can give the love that she deserves. Cristiano can'

    It was my first day at Cristiano's house, and he just drove me there because he said he had a meeting. It was afternoon, and he even wanted to get a maid from their house or our house so that I could be with someone while he was away, but I stopped him. I feel like I'm more comfortable when I don't have a maid to help me. Cristiano's house is big, and that's not the house where he took me when something happened to us. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a lot of houses because he is a billionaire. He told me to eat what I wanted to eat because his refrigerator was full and to feel at home because it was for the two of us. We will not actually live there because he is still renovating the actual house we will be staying at. I didn't have work that day; that's why Cristiano's house was so big. I was really bored. I toured that house alone just so I could do something until I got to the master's bedroom. Just like in his previous room in one of his houses, the light there was dim. It's

    "Oh my gosh, Lily. That was so embarrassing! You're only going to cook sausage, but you almost set the whole house on fire?" Stella told me. She's laughing at me now because I told her what happened this morning. I know it's embarrassing, and to this day, I'm still embarrassed to face Cristiano. "I didn't know he had an air fryer. Also, I don't know how to use it either! I just wanted to make him breakfast, but I was embarrassed," I said one after the other. Stella burst out laughing, so I glared at her and tortured her. "Trying hard to be a material wife, huh?" she said, laughing. "Of course! Duh!" I answered her. Stella just taught me to cook in the condo, and I learned quickly. Then I watched tutorials, and it almost made me excited to cook again, even though Cristiano doesn't want me to cook anymore. In the following days, I returned to work. I am often surprised because the moment I enter my office, there is always a bouquet of flowers there. "Architect, I still can't bel

    CRISTIANO'S POV."You should come to the event, Cristianous. Your brothers are expecting you tonight." It was my mom who's forcing me to come to the Scott Family event.I finished the whiskey I was drinking before I sighed and answered Mama."Alright. See you later."I know Mama is very happy because I agreed to join them at that event because I haven't been with them for a long time. She has requested me several times, and even once I did not accept her invitation. Maybe it's time. It's time to show up for them again."So, you're coming home to Manila to attend the event?" Andrew asked me, who had been by my side for a while.I nodded as I answered him, then poured whiskey into my glass again."Well, that's good. It's only right that you go home to be with your family," he told me.Andrew is also right. Now that I'm with him and I've trained him in my jobs, he's the one who rarely has meetings with my clients. He also sometimes takes care of my other businesses when I'm busy, so I ha

    Cristiano and I returned to Manila, and Sabrina was very happy when she found out that we had returned with my memory. I don't know how I should feel now because, since I can remember, I've been sadder. I was sad because I feel like Mom and Dad died just yesterday.I looked at the wide garden of our house while our maids were busy arranging the long, big table in the middle. It was noisy there because of the shouting and laughter of Sabrina's three children. My two arms were crossed over my chest while standing in front, and I couldn't help but smile because of my nieces and nephews.Sabrina is preparing here at our old house for my homecoming. I don't know why she had to prepare such a dinner, even though we could have eaten outside."Lily."I looked at Cristiano, who stood next to me. He was wearing long white sleeves and black pants. I glanced at him because it looked like he meant to wear that so that what he was wearing would match the white mini dress I was wearing."Are you all

  • Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English   Chapter 74: Accident

    FLASHBACK!I wiped the tears that ran down my cheeks and took a deep breath to regain my courage. So much happened, and until now, it's still hard for me to sink it into my mind.The night Cristiano was shot, I thought I would never see him alive again. I thought he would never hear from me that I had forgiven him for all the sins he committed in our past. I thought I would lose him forever.Everything I thought of for Cristiano went to someone else because Mommy disappeared that night. She died because of the ambush that happened in our house while celebrating my father's birthday. I blame everything on me because if I had not returned to the Philippines, that incident would not have happened. I hope Mommy is still alive, and I hope Dad didn't get sick because of Mommy's loss.I'm sitting in front of Mom and Daddy's grave today, and I can't believe that the two most important people in my life are gone."I'm sorry if I failed to give you a grandchild from me," I said, holding Dad's g

    And lastly, I thought I would finally have freedom and happiness in my life. I thought I wouldn't be miserable anymore, and I wouldn't feel any sadness, but I was wrong. I thought wrong.It's hard to wake up every day, and you don't remember anything, and you don't even recognize yourself. I don't know how it happened, but I just woke up one morning feeling like everything had changed. I just woke up one day, and I don't remember anything.I was sweating profusely while walking down the long stairs. I feel a pain in my stomach, and I can't explain how much it hurts. Until I looked at my thigh, and I saw a lot of blood coming out there. At the same time as the blood dripped on my thigh, my tears also fell."Lily! Lily!" a cold baritone made my eyes open.I almost took a deep breath when I finally woke up. I felt my hands trembling, and because of the fear I felt, I immediately covered my face. My tears flowed because I still felt the fear and pain in my heart."Lily, it's just a dream.

    In the moments that I wait for Cristiano's arrival, I fight against my sleepiness and fatigue. I haven't had much of a break yet because that was also the day I returned home from America. My nervousness and fear prevailed so much that no matter how heavy my eyelids were, I could not close them. More than half an hour has passed, and I'm sure Cristiano is close. I stood up from my seat and looked out the window again. The men guarding there still didn't leave, so I just held my breath. Aren't they tired or sleepy? I just shook my head, and I was in agony. I just hope Cristiano brought enough men because Mike has too many men. I was standing there for a while when I felt the watch in my pocket vibrate, so I quickly took it out to look at it. Cristiano was calling, so I didn't take too long to answer because of the nervousness I was feeling earlier. "We're here. The house has three floors. What floor are you on?" Cristiano asked me immediately. "Second floor," I answered. "Alright.

    "We've been separated for a long time since our baby was lost. So, why don't you want to let me go?" I asked him. There was a tear in the corner of my eye, but I immediately looked up to stop the tears from flowing. I told myself that I would never cry in front of him again. "I-I don't want us to separate. Forgive me, Lily. I will accept everything; just don't divorce me," he answered me, and his hug tightened even more. I got out of his arms to get him away from hugging me, but he was too strong for me. "Leave me alone," I told him. I felt him take a deep breath before he completely separated me from the embrace, but my eyes widened at what he did next. "W-What are you doing?" I stammered to him. I looked around us, and I was very thankful because there was no one there. He knelt down and held my hand. "Don't leave me. Please." His voice broke as he reached for my hands to hold them. I had to bend down to look at him and straighten him up from kneeling, but he didn't move, j

    [After Flashback: Continuation of Chapter 8] *** "I-I'm so sorry to hear that, Lily. If only I knew what you went through," Liam told me. I wiped my tears and immediately drank the wine in front of me. I never thought that in a few years I would cry again. That made it very difficult for me to move on. After I asked Sabrina to help me take me to another country without anyone knowing, I started to forget everything that happened, but I still can't help but remember it sometimes. "What Cristiano did to you was wrong, but have you forgiven him yet? Are you ready to face him again?" Liam asked me. I laughed and shook my head because I could really face Cristiano. I really feel a little scared because I don't know how we will both react when we meet again. The only thing I want right now is to divorce our marriage, which is why I can't help but get angry every time he just throws away the papers I send him. Liam and I had a good conversation because I was able to explain to him eve

    No one can say how much pain I feel right now. I just lost my child, and that's because Cristiano hurt me. I blame myself because if I hadn't fought him, I hope it wouldn't have happened. If only I had stayed in that room and made him hurt me. I was just stupid while sitting in the hospital bed. I've been crying there for a while now, and occasionally I'll stop when I get tired. I can't accept what happened. I can't accept that the child I was waiting for disappeared in an instant. I have never even touched her or seen her, and I will never see her as a woman with me. "Eat this so you can get some strength. I called Sabrina," said Cristiano. He never left my side, even though I pushed him away several times. I cried even more because I remembered our parents and siblings, who were very anxious for the arrival of my future child, but that will never happen. I have no appetite at all. I don't want to see Cristiano because I just remembered falling down the stairs. I'm afraid that he

    "Why are you returning the words that should be yours to me? You're the one who's cheating here and not me!" I added to him. He is really the one who is cheating on both of us, not me. He returned to his ex; he was seeing her secretly. Francine's husband and I are being cheated on. "So, you're recovering? You're doing this to shame me?! Your face is thick! I only married you because I was shocked and because of the child you're carrying! I agree to marry a girl, but nothing like you!" he continued. I wiped my tears and shook my head at what he was saying. There is no truth in that because cheating is something I can never do because I know how it feels. "I'm not taking it back. I'm not fooling you-" "Stop lying!" he shouted because I stopped talking. "You know Liam likes you; that's why you're going out with him! I wish you'd just marry him! You were a bit shy at first, but you like him too!" he said to me one after the other. I almost caught my breath from crying there. I shoo
