My Hot Billionaire Chapter 35
"Morning, sweetheart... did you sleep well?"Edward's voice faintly reached Chloe amid the pounding sensation in her head. She massaged her forehead, trying to open her eyes to respond to her husband's greeting."Was I drunk last night?" Her hoarse voice sought an explanation.Edward, who was getting ready, turned. While adjusting his tie, he approached and sat right next to his wife. The citrus and mint aroma from the perfume Edward wore sharply filled Chloe's sense of smell."Not just drunk. You were even a handful last night." Edward then handed a glass of apple juice, which he had prepared for Chloe to drink. "Finish this juice. Hopefully, it will help relieve the headache and nausea you're feeling now."Chloe complied. She slowly sipped the drink Edward offered. "I'm only drunk like this because of you," she protested, then handed him the empty glass from the juice she had finished."Why is it always my fault?" Edward raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. But in Chloe's eyes, he never

Chloe read the report in the email that Samuel had intentionally sent to her. She concentrated hard to understand the information provided by her assistant.She investigated for a long time. Needing further clarification, she decided to call Samuel."Sam, are you sure about the report you sent me this time?""Of course. Please double-check, ma'am. In the same year when Ms. Nathalie passed away, it's mentioned that Mr. Edward wasn't in a relationship with anyone.""It's possible that he was involved with Nathalie but the media didn't know about it." Chloe responded."Please take a look at the reports I attached in the email. Almost all the women who dated Mr. Edward were introduced to the public. That means he's the type of man who never hides his relationships. I dare to conclude that your husband has never been in a relationship with Ms. Nathalie.""Okay, even if Edward didn't have a relationship with Nathalie. Then why was his business card in her purse? And why did Nathalie order m

"Instead of making people disappear, I can't bear to hurt women. There's no need to go far, when I feel a need, why would I bother looking for someone else when you willingly gave yourself to me.""I could have taken advantage of you last night while you were unconscious. But, once again, I want to emphasize that I'm not a wicked man like you imagine."Those sentences kept replaying like a broken cassette in Chloe's mind. What Edward said last night managed to disturb her thoughts.Chloe was clearly torn. On one hand, she felt Edward was being honest last night, but on the other hand, all the evidence she had received from Nathalie before pointed to her husband. So what should she do now? Should she continue with all the plans she had prepared, or should she stop and learn to make peace with the deep-seated hatred she had all this time?Chloe actually aspired to live a normal life like an ordinary person. However, when she remembered Nathalie, an aura of pain and vengeance instantly e

Since the morning, Edward had been busy dealing with a pile of files on his desk. Nicholas had warned him several times to take a break and rest for a while, fearing that his boss would exhaust himself and face fatal consequences.However, being the hard worker that he was, Edward was determined not to stop until he finished what he was working on. He continued to focus until Ariana entered the room to inform him of something."What is it, Ariana? Is there another file I need to check?" Edward asked without even turning his head.Ariana smiled faintly and responded politely, "I'm sorry, Mister, I'm interrupting your activities. But there's someone outside who wants to meet you."Edward lifted his face, looking at his secretary with a questioning expression. "Who else wants to meet me this time?""A man, Mister," Ariana replied, waiting for her boss's response. "His name is Samuel."Edward's eyebrows almost touched. He briefly wondered why Chloe's assistant suddenly came to visit. Intr

Now, it was Samuel's turn to sigh in frustration. It seemed that what he had thought all along was right: Edward wasn't the man responsible for Nathalie's death. From his movements alone, Samuel could deduce that Edward was being honest with his confession."Thus...," Samuel paused his sentence for a moment. He must have taken countless breaths before continuing the story. "Mrs. Nathalie passed away a few years ago. At the end of her life, she asked Mrs. Chloe to find a man. I don't know the exact purpose or intention. But Mrs. Chloe believed that the man she was looking for was the one behind her sister's death."Edward furrowed his brows."Don't tell me Chloe accuses me of causing her sister's death?"Samuel confirmed himself once more. Ready or not, he was determined to reveal what he had known all this time. He did it to protect Chloe from a great deal of trouble. Yes, Samuel needed to act quickly. He didn't want many parties to suffer from these baseless accusations."Unfortunate

Hans rolled up the sleeves of his black shirt until his elbows as he just arrived in Edward's room. He immediately took a casual seat on the guest sofa.Before the conversation could continue, there was a knock on the door. A moment later, Ariana entered with a tray carrying two cups of coffee. She politely served them and then left."Nic..." Edward called firmly to his loyal assistant, who stood not far away. "Please leave us for a moment. I have something important to discuss with Hans."Nicholas nodded in understanding. "Alright, Mister." The young man promptly left, leaving Edward and Hans alone in the room."So, what's the topic of our discussion this time?" Hans asked impatiently. "I was actually planning to meet you this weekend to give you a report about Chloe's birth mother."Edward loosened his tie, which was tightly wrapped around his neck. He took off his jacket and placed it haphazardly somewhere. He looked visibly agitated now."If I tell you, you might be shocked," Edwa

Edward took a moment to breathe. Any layperson would think the same as Hans. But deep down in his heart, he believed that Chloe's assistant had spoken the truth."This time, I trust Samuel, Hans. He convinced me that he doesn't want Chloe to target the wrong person and get into bigger trouble. And there's something else you need to know."Hans raised an eyebrow. "What is it?""This is about Damian Dimitri," Edward replied with a hint of reluctance. It was clear that he didn't like mentioning his cousin's name."What else do you have to do with that damn kid, Ed? He's always been a thorn in your side."Edward laughed for a moment. Hans knew very well that Edward and Damian had been at odds for a long time."I don't know how it started, but somehow Damian dared to approach my wife and work together to destroy me. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it?""Damn crazy!" Hans exclaimed loudly. "I've been telling you all along, why don't you just put him in jail? That guy really enjoys causing troubl

Edward had just finished his morning shower. When he came out, he accidentally caught Chloe in the act of drinking something. Curious, he decided to ask right away."Are you feeling sick?"Chloe immediately turned around, her face showing a bit of nervousness. "No, I'm fine," she replied calmly, trying to act as nonchalant as possible.Edward narrowed his eyes, acting as if he wasn't quite sure about what he just heard. "Really? Then what were you drinking just now?"Chloe blinked once. "Me? Just now?" She then nodded. "Ah, it was a blood-boosting vitamin. I've been feeling dizzy since last night. Maybe that's what's been making me feel lethargic since yesterday.""If it's making you uncomfortable, I can take you to the doctor. Better than any unwanted things happening," Edward earnestly offered."No need," Chloe responded. "Just taking the medicine and getting enough rest should make my dizziness go away on its own."Edward simply nodded, then walked toward the walk-in closet, while

Today was a historic day for Edward Martin. The major project he had been handling for Emaar Properties was finally inaugurated. AlphaBeta had even received an award as the most competent construction company to undertake this prestigious tender.Edward felt truly grateful. He knew that this achievement wouldn't have been possible without the help of the solid team who worked diligently on their tasks. Especially Samuel. Despite being new to the company, he had dedicated all his best abilities to help Edward achieve his ambitions."Thank you, Sam. I didn't make a mistake in choosing you as the head of this prestigious project."Samuel smiled contentedly, feeling proud that his hard work was appreciated."I also thank you, Mr. Martin, for giving me this valuable opportunity. It's rare for a big company to entrust such a project to someone who just joined."His gaze then shifted to the beautiful woman standing next to Edward."Mrs. Chloe also contributed to this success. If she hadn't a

Edward hurriedly ran through the corridors of one of the major hospitals in the middle of London. He had lost count of how many times he glanced at his wristwatch, hoping not to be even a minute late this time. Ever since the incident when Chloe got angry and ordered him to sleep on the couch, Edward made every effort to be punctual. It felt so regretful to miss one night of embracing her.Upon reaching the second floor, he headed straight to a room dedicated to pregnant and nursing mothers. Amidst the sea of mothers, his hazel eyes finally caught sight of his wife. She was a beautiful woman dressed in a navy midi dress, engaging in casual conversation and occasionally laughing with other patients."Sorry if I'm late," Edward said after seating himself right next to Chloe. He was catching his breath from rushing to be by her side on time."No worries, I have two more patients ahead of you in line," Chloe replied. Without being asked, she handed him a bottle of mineral water she had be

During pregnancy, it's common for every woman to experience mood swings, where they can feel extremely joyful and enthusiastic one moment, but also very emotional and sad, even crying over trivial matters. Sometimes, they may not even know the reason for their mood changes.Mood swings during pregnancy are caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, physical discomfort due to bodily changes, and natural worries about facing future life changes.From Edward's encounters with married men, almost all of them mentioned that their wives' moods would improve during the second trimester. However, it seemed not to be the case for his wife. Even as she entered the third trimester, Chloe's mood swings didn't seem to get better; in fact, they were worse than ever. She was more easily offended, cried more often, and even had fits of anger."Mister, you look like someone who's exhausted. If you're not feeling well, you should rest," Samuel said as he entered Edward's office. He had been

On a bright morning, accompanied by birdsong and the still-refreshing air, sat a married couple engrossed in a light conversation.This was actually a result of Chloe's boredom. She realized that her husband might be feeling the same way she did at the moment. So, she took the initiative to invite Edward to relax in a corner of the garden and enjoy the morning air together.It had been seven days since Edward had been under intensive care. The good news was that his condition showed significant improvement day by day. The doctor had even given permission for him to decide when he wanted to go home."Last night, after you fell asleep, Samuel contacted me. He asked for some time to meet with you. There's something important he wants to discuss about some projects currently running at AlphaBeta," Chloe said."Tell him to meet me after work," Edward replied without turning his head. His eyes were focused on the beautifully planted row of flowers not far from where they sat."So, do you wa

Chloe walked clumsily towards the treatment room with a chaotic state of mind and heart. The feelings of love and happiness that she had just experienced were now overflowing, replaced by deep sorrow due to the recent misfortune that befell her husband.Patricia and Liliana were well aware that Chloe was not doing well, and they decided to continue accompanying her. They did this to keep the pregnant woman away from unwanted stress, fearing it might affect the unborn child."It's okay, dear," Patricia reassured when the three of them stood right in front of the room where Edward was being treated. "Believe me, your husband will be fine. Mama is very confident that he will recover soon."Liliana nodded in agreement. Her hand reached out to push aside a lock of hair covering her son-in-law's cheek. The tired and sad expression was clearly evident on her face."Don't be sad all the time. Edward will surely wake up, dear. There's no way he'd willingly leave behind a beautiful wife like yo

After going through many stages of trial for the crimes committed by Damian and Nicholas, today is the scheduled date for the judge's verdict. As victims, Edward and Chloe were asked to be present to listen to the verdict. However, due to Chloe's condition, she was unable to attend, so Edward chose to come alone this morning. Upon arriving at the courthouse, Hans was already waiting for him outside the courtroom. When everyone had gathered and was ready to begin the trial, Edward was asked to enter. "I hope today's verdict meets our expectations, Hans." Hans, who had just taken his seat, nodded. "I assure you, Damian will spend quite a long time in prison. He is entangled in multiple charges for the crimes he has committed." Edward pulled the corners of his lips into a smile. It was not wrong to have chosen Hans to handle the case that was affecting him. "I can't wait to see Damian's expression when he hears the judge's verdict in a moment." After a few minutes of waiting, the tr

"I love you... Want you with all my heart. Even if God plans to separate us, I will do my best to persuade Him not to do it."Hugging Chloe's body, Edward chuckled softly. This morning, when he woke up from sleep, she couldn't stop hugging and kissing him. Acting all affectionate, like a woman who desperately wants to be loved. She had been showering him with sweet gestures countless times. It was nothing like the usual Chloe."How many more times do you need to say that? No need to repeat, my love. I know now that you truly love me," he replied, gently kissing his wife's forehead. He found her behavior this morning both adorable and exasperating."You know, Ed?" She tilted her head and asked. "I feel so foolish for often ignoring you and arrogantly rejecting you before."Edward laughed again. "So, you've truly fallen in love with me now?"Confidently, Chloe nodded. The long-haired woman was no longer ashamed to admit that she was head over heels for him now. "Maybe it's more than jus

The white-themed living room was beautifully transformed this afternoon, adorned with an abundance of flowers. Various kinds of cakes and heavy dishes, along with an array of drinks, were neatly arranged on every corner of the table.Everyone seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the celebration party organized by the only child of the Martin family. Amidst the excitement, laughter, and classical music playing in the background, the atmosphere exuded an intimate feeling for everyone present.However, in the midst of the created buzz, everyone's attention was slightly diverted when Edward intentionally asked Sisilia, the house assistant, to bring someone along to join them.Chloe and Dylan both showed surprise on their faces.
