Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 101 - A Quarrel In The Midnight
She heard a sound, so she thought her alarm was bothering her sleep. But strangely, why did that sound far away?Maybe she forgot to put it somewhere, and then it rang.But then she felt unfamiliar with the sound. It was like it was not hers.With that thought, her eyes snapped open, and dark immediately greeted her. What was the time?But she didn't have time to think about it because the sound bothered her. It was from his phone. "Dave," she called his name, shaking his arm around her stomach. "Dave. Your phone is ringing," she said again in a louder voice.There was a mumble followed by a question. "What's the time?" He asked precisely the same as her question."I don't know. Maybe around midnight," Anna answered randomly. Then her head turned to the clock on the nightstand beside her bed. "It's the past one," she corrected after looking at the clock."Who's calling at this hour?" He cursed as he got up. He felt like wanting to swear when the call stopped, only to ring again. If it
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 102 - Leaving Her
He brushed his face with his palm after ending the call with Tyler. Yes, he left Linda's business to him instead of adding to his own troubles. And Anna.He knew she was crying. He could hear her sobs from outside—he stayed in the living room on the second floor—and the silence made it worse. It was like torture because he couldn't be by her side to calm her down.Of course, he wanted to do that. But he needed to do something with Linda before settling the matter with his wife. And after one was over, he still stayed in the same place, listening to her muffled sobs.He didn't want it. Making Anna cry was never his wish. He wanted to make her happy, not the other way around. But apparently, he wasn't good enough for her, so she still kept a secret from him.Oh, it annoyed him that Anna said nothing about Jeff's gift. He was jealous, knowing that it obviously meant something else to Jeff. Jeff had hope, and Anna accepted the gift would nourish it. No wonder Jeff was so adamant about her
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 103 - Finally, They Meet
Good morning, honey. Don't rush, and promise to take a deep breath before continuing.And so, she closed her eyes and breathed in before her eyes darted back at the note in her hand. It was from Dave. She found it on the nightstand of her bedside in her breakfast.Sorry for not waking you up and leaving you alone. You look peaceful in your sleep, and I can't disturb that. You need lots of sleep.I promise I won't be gone for long and will return as soon as possible. Take care of yourself and our baby, and let me know if anything happens.And we'll have a talk after I get back. Please don't overthink.Yours,DaveShe could only blink repeatedly, reading that, but then something came out and flowed through the corner of her eyes. She was crying. Again.In fact, she had guessed when she saw the blazing sun and the clock. It was almost ten. She nearly jumped on her feet if she was late to find breakfast and his notes. And her heart sank in disappointment after reading it.Dave left her.S
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 104 - Getting Worse
Rebecca.Finally, they met.Anna was stunned for a few moments when her eyes met Rebecca's. She was shocked. Of course. Who would have thought they would meet in this situation?Rebecca also felt the same. Her eyes widened in disbelief."Bec." The call slipped from Anna's lips.But then Rebecca's reaction was turning the other way around from Anna. Her brows furrowed as her eyes glared at Anna. Hatred radiated from her brown eyes.Rebecca didn't take long. She canceled her order by getting out of the queue and leaving the place.Did that mean she was still mad at Anna?Like it or not, Anna also responded the same. She spoke to the waiter to cancel her order to follow her. Anna quickened her pace as Rebecca got away and ran as her figure began to disappear. "Bec, wait!" she exclaimed in an attempt to get her attention.But, of course, Rebecca didn't stop. If she decided to do that, she wouldn't avoid her in the first place. Right?Anna didn't give up. She ran after her and was finally
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 105 - Blood
"You better call Dave," Chelsy suggested as she placed the hot chocolate in front of Anna. They were already home after canceling their plan to watch a movie. Of course. Who wanted to continue after seeing Anna cry?Anna didn't answer and continued to stare ahead. She heard her, but her mind wasn't really there. Or yes?Maybe she was just lazy to think about the answer.But then she felt Chelsy's hand holding hers. "Don't keep it to yourself."Only then did Anna look at her. They exchanged glances as if sharing the pain."He will listen to you."Was he?But Anna had decided. She wouldn't bother Dave, so she gave her a shake."Or do you want me to call him for you?"Anna instantly tightened her grip slightly to prevent her. "Do not.""Why?"Why?She didn't want to bother him.Ah no. Actually, Anna was afraid that Dave wouldn't answer her, or worst, he would refuse to talk to her.Wasn't that the same?"I'll call him later," she lied. Rather than her doing that, she wanted Dave to make
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 106 - Go To Ohio
She was bleeding.Even though it was only spotted, she still had them every time she checked on herself. And she couldn't help but worry about that. Something must have happened.So she went to see a doctor."How long has this been going on?" Belinda asked after Anna told her the problem."This morning. I finished throwing up, and when I went to the bathroom, I saw blood," Anna answered pretty quickly. It was a mix of her nervousness, worry, and fear. As she said, she was experiencing it for the first time. Everyone knew the first time was always hard."How about when you pee? Did you see the blood coming out?"Anna took a moment to recall the incident. "I don't think so. It's not red." Another meaning was that her pee was not mixed with blood.Belinda nodded and wrote something on her paper."Does something bad happen to the baby?" Anna ventured to ask. She had done an ultrasound and was waiting for the results."Well, Mrs. Byrne, before I proceed with the results, may I know where y
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 107 - At Home
“Mom.” Those were her first words as soon as the door opened, and she saw her mother emerge from behind it.“Anna!” Lane exclaimed happily before moving forward to hug her. They shared warmth and longing after a long absence. “I miss you.”“I miss you too, mom and our family.”Lane then tightened her embrace for a moment and, a second later, let it go. She still had happiness in her eyes. “Why didn’t you say you were coming?”“It won’t be a surprise if I tell you first,” Anna grinned. She was honest, even though there was a reason behind it.“Come in, honey. Your dad and Sidney will be happy to see you.”And she spent the next minutes releasing longing with her family. They shared news and some stories while they were away.“I’ll warm the chicken. You must be hungry to skip dinner.”Yes, Anna left after lunch, which brought her to Ohio past dinner. Then, if her mother said it, they must have had dinner before she arrived.“Thanks, Mom.” She couldn’t possibly refuse, right?“How long w
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 108 - Revealing The Truth
Anna didn't know whether to swear or anything under this circumstance. She wished she didn't have it, at least not while at home.It was her morning sickness, and she had it from the moment she opened her eyes."Anna. Are you still inside? What happened?" Sidney asked after knocking on the door because Anna locked it from the inside.Anna didn't vomit all the time, but the urge to vomit was so strong that she still locked herself in the bathroom. And despite her efforts to cover it up by turning on the sink, the sound of her throwing up kept seeping outside. Especially after she had been there for half an hour. They must have wondered what was going on with her."Yeah. I'm not feeling well now. I'm sorry, you need to use another bathroom," Anna lied.Would Sidney believe it? She wouldn't think about it now."Are you sure? You've spent a lot of time inside. And you throw up. It must be something.""I think it's from a whole day of skipping meals." She gave another lie, even though it w

Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 130 - The Second Baby
Anna peered through the common bathroom door on the first floor before stepping out casually as if nothing had happened. She walked past Dave, who was sitting on the couch in their living room and reading a report on his tablet, with Zach crawling on the floor."Zach, baby, come here." She called for Zach's attention, which was never hard to get. "Let's play outside."And his reaction was predictable. He was running toward his mother excitedly. His smile was so big that it was going to explode.Being a child seemed fun, didn't it?She followed him, running out of the house to their yard barefoot. She couldn't help her own smile from forming on her face at seeing him and another happiness she had just found out about today.She was pregnant with their second child.But be quiet. Anna wanted to make a surprise for her husband.Oh, she couldn't wait to see his reaction!"Zach, come here. Mommy wants to say something to you."Zach halted his running to look at his mother with an indescrib
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 129 - Epilogue 1: Cookies
Three years later.She watched everything. Their every move, laugh, giggle, scream, and more. She couldn't help but grace a wide smile over that. It was too good to be true. But it was what that was as it was the reality.Baby Zach was now three years old and in his active days. He had run on every corner of the house and was always excited to run outside.Although it tired their body from following him around, she didn't complain, especially Dave. He always had the energy to play with him and never ran out of ideas. He raised their child with all his heart.She shook her head to force herself back to her place. She couldn't only observe them all the time, as she needed to finish the cookie dough.Zach had the exact liking as hers for sweets. So she tried to be the best mom by baking them instead of buying them outside or ordering chefs to make them. It was cheaper and could adjust to her family preferences, which she wanted, not too much sugar.As Dave said, sugar was a killer.She
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 128 - Baby Zach
"Hi, baby boy. I'm happy you're awake, and I can hold you. Your mother must feel the same way. But she's resting now, so let's not disturb her and play with me instead." His voice was laced with happiness as his eyes flitted the same feeling. There was nothing happier than this moment when he finally held baby Zach. And the fact that he was born healthy was wonderful. It could be perfect if his wife's recovery went well.Baby Zach wriggled his tiny hands and managed to capture Dave's finger. He gripped it though his eyes were still closed. Baby Zach might sense familiar and safe, so baby Zach didn't cry, which made Dave's heart swell with pride and warmth. Only his touch could do that, and he couldn't be more proud of that."What do you think about this world? It's amazing, isn't it? You have me, your mother, and your entire family by your side. And in the future, you will find your own friends."Baby Zach was just quiet, and if his grip was not still on his finger, Dave might have th
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 127 - Austin Or Zach
A few months later.Anna was closing drawers after checking what was inside was still inside.It might be confusing. The point was Anna had just finished looking at their baby’s needs, such as clothes, diapers, socks, blanket, and more. She wanted to make sure everything was ready when the time came, which was soon. Her due date should be this week, and she couldn’t be more excited to finally welcome their baby.She moved to the only bed in the room. It was big and had four wooden walls on four sides to protect the baby from falling. And it was the one Dave said could accommodate her body while breastfeeding their baby. She even could sleep on it too.Her hand touched the doll on the nearby side and placed it neatly between another doll and the pillow. She had some, mainly cute animal characters, to accompany him while he was sleeping.Yes, him. Their baby was a boy.“Do you like it, honey? It’s nice, right? Your father prepared them for you.” She spoke as her hand caressed her so big
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 126 - Linda, Again
"I saw everything, Anna. I know what you hide behind your back." His eyebrows raised as if waiting for her to reveal it by herself. There was no point in hiding it anyway since it was why he approached her. He already saw her enjoying the ice cream!"What do you mean?"So she was going to play with him. Unfortunately, he didn't want to pretend that he did not see that. "The bowl. Ice cream."And she could only force a grin."Come here." His hand reached out to invite her to come near him."No. You will scold me.""That means you know you were doing wrong. How many bowls have you had?""Hmm. Five?""Count it correctly, honey.""Okay. Okay. Nine." She raised both her hands in the air and surrendered herself."No, honey. The bowl in your back is the eleventh."He actually didn't have a problem with her enjoying the ice cream. But Anna liked overeating, and she might have more if he didn't watch her."Good job Dave. She needs to be more careful with her health." Rebecca, standing beside h
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 125 - Finally, The Wedding Day
Finally, the day they had been waiting for came. It was hectic but also fun. Their friends and families gathered together to celebrate the happy day. What was more pleasing than that?The vow went well. Although Anna felt more nervous, everything was perfect this time compared to the real one. Her father led her to the altar and handed her to Dave, which generally did at a wedding ceremony. And she and his husband stated their vow again and became husband and wife one more time.And to make it perfect, he sealed their vow with a kiss on her lips. Then cheers and applauses filled the hall.It was indeed a favorable moment. And it lasted until night."It's a pleasure to finally meet the newest Mrs. Byrne." Alexander greeted Anna and took her hand to land a quick kiss, like how a gentleman met a lady for the first time. "My name is Alexander Green.""Oh!" Anna couldn't help but show her surprise. She heard a lot about him from Dave, but this was the first time they met in person."Based
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 124 - Time Of Being Together
She felt warm on her skin. Also, a soft and warm breeze brushed over her neck, bringing a shiver to her body. A second later, she sensed warmth moving on her swollen belly, rubbing it so gently as if fearing to wake her up."Hmm." She stirred from her sleep, the result of those doings. Only then did she realize hands wrapped around her, and she knew whose those were. "Dave." Her voice came throatily from sleep."I'm sorry I woke you up." He mumbled against the nook of her neck.She heard it but didn't want to answer him as her voice was stuck in her throat. But she couldn't do it anymore when her eyes fluttered open and dark welcomed her through a glass wall which gave a view of the dark sky. "It's still dark.""Yes.""What time is it?""It's past midnight.""Why aren't you sleeping?"Instead of replying, he tightened his arms and dug his face deeper into her neck. His hand slipped inside her nightdress and caressed her tummy. "I can't sleep.""Why?" She wriggled her body to turn arou
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 123 - What If I Die First
"The preparation is doing good, right?" Dave asked Eddie, General Manager of The Byrne Hotel in Los Angeles, as they took a look at the hall designated for his event to take place. It was still filled with other decorations, as it would be occupied for someone's event for tonight."Yes. We have everything that we need ready. Gifts also have arrived, and we're working to put them into goodie bags."Dave nodded his head in understanding. "Pack them nicely and make sure those are right for each occasion. Don't get confused." He gave further orders.As planned, they would split the event into two, the vow and the party. And because of that, they would use a separate hall, decorations, gifts for guests, food, and more. They had different preparation for each occasion."Sure. We have a lot of experience with these things. I assure you everything will be in expert hands. You can enjoy your time with your bride.""Okay. I trust you with this.""Yes."Then they walked together for a few minute
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 122 - A Dolphin
"I'm like a dolphin already!" Her voice echoed throughout the room. She was standing in front of the mirror, checking her appearance from the reflection. She wore an A-line midi dress in black, which fell nicely on her body. But it also made her baby bump visible."Says who?" Dave was walking toward her while buttoning his shirt."Me." She still focused on her own reflection, as if looking for something to satisfy her."Then you're wrong. You don't look like one at all." He slipped his arms around her waist. "Instead, you look sexier." He landed a kiss on her neck and began to stroke her stomach gently. It was almost six months, and the bump was pretty big."Don't lie to me, Dave. Look at me. Everything in my body is swollen now. Even my cheeks are full.""That's what makes you sexy, honey. I like how your body changes."She narrowed her eyes at his reflection. "Liar.""I'm not. I'm being honest with you.""I don't believe you."There was a sound of a sigh before he planted the last k
