Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 49 - One More Day
"Anna," Rebecca called her name as their call connected. That was around dinner time.Instantly, her eyebrows furrowed. Rebecca's way of speaking showed her disappointment. But what was wrong?"What?" Anna asked, acting innocent. She did not want to be too explicit, showing she could read that."I was calling you a few times, and I also left a message for you to contact me. But why didn't you do that?"Oh, Anna remembered. She forgot her message. "Sorry. I forgot." That was the truth. Her day had been too overwhelmed since the incident. She even only replied to her sister's message once."Kate had a schedule for the weekend?""Sort of." That part was a lie. She had always used Kate as an excuse since Dave routinely visited her on the weekend. Sorry, Bec. "Why call me?""I want you to accompany me shopping. Soon there will be an anniversary of Matt's company, and I need a new dress."The wrinkles reappeared as Anna recalled Rebecca's collections. She had a lot of clothes in various sty

"I saw it."Instantly, a frown formed on Anna's forehead as she heard it. She had just arrived and immediately heard Rebecca say that. That clearly confused her. "What did you see?""You just got out of the black car, but it's not yours."And the wrinkles disappeared. Turned out Rebecca saw her get out of Dave's car. Or rather, Chelsy's car he had borrowed. Luckily, she asked him to drop her a bit further so Rebecca couldn't see who was driving her. "You remember Chelsy? She drove me." Why didn't Dave's name come out of her mouth?"You see her often?""Not really. She just asked me about my recommendation." And the lies continued."About what?""Birthday party." And it went on. How stupid she was!"I have to congratulate her."Anna grinned awkwardly. Chelsy was probably nagging her about it. "It's still a month away." And why wouldn't her lips stop lying? Indeed, stopping sometimes was more challenging than starting it. The temptation was too great."Please ask her to invite me, too."

Anna and Rebecca chatted and joked once Matt and Jeff arrived. It surprised her when she saw them coming. Even though they promised to have dinner together, Anna never knew Jeff would come. "You didn't say Jeff would be here?" she asked—protested—to Rebecca in a whisper."I don't know. Matt said nothing." Rebecca replied in the same way.Anna raised an eyebrow between belief and disbelief. Rebecca had done a lot of this stuff in the past. Planning lunch or dinner while calling 'the guy' without telling her first. It set her up.But okay, she would try to believe her. After all, she could do nothing about it, and Matt couldn't have done it, right? He knew who her crush was."Hi, girls," said Jeff as he arrived in front of them. "Can I sit next to you?" The question was to the point. Of course, he meant Anna because he looked at her when she said that.What choice did she have?She only had a yes, so that was what she gave. She nodded in agreement.Jeff snuck up next to her with a gleef

"Thank you very much for driving me," Anna said after Jeff dropped her at her destination.Jeff stared at the magnificent building—The Hotel Byrne—behind her. "Who will you meet here?""A friend." Her reply was short. Yes, she asked him to drop her off at The Byrne Hotel after they turned her refusal down. She originally wanted to go home alone. But Rebecca said that men couldn't let women go home alone and for other random reasons, so she ended up accepting that. Even then, after Matt's offer was rejected. The bottom line, Rebecca wanted her with Jeff.Jeff didn't respond. His eyes were still on the building, guessing what kind of friend was waiting for her. "Are they from Ohio?" Someone staying at a hotel usually came from out of town."Sort of." She chose the safe answer by leaving it a secret."Then have-"He stopped in the middle of changing his gaze to her. He found something, so it stopped on her left.It made Anna follow his direction and find Dave and his parents five meters a

As they returned to their room, Anna deliberately took a step behind him. She somehow felt Dave was upset. He was quieter than usual, and that made her ask. Was that because of her?She kept quiet even after they entered the room. But her eyes didn't leave Dave in the kitchen gulping down water as if trying to cool something in his body. And when he refilled his glass, she walked over to him."You mad at me?" she asked beside him."No." His answer was short, and he took another sip.Anna was silent again and watched his every move. It was only after he put down his glass that she reached his hand, grabbed it, and led him to follow her to the sofa.He said nothing, and neither did she. And when they arrived on the sofa, she motioned for him to sit down, followed by her beside him. But when she was about to let go of her hand, he held it as if he didn't want their link to break. So they stayed to talk like that."Why are you mad at me?" She broke the silence between them in the calmest

He was working on his tablet while enjoying the sea breeze brushing against his skin. It gave a calm as the sound of the waves came alternately, provided a natural vibe, and eased his mind to focus more on what he was doing. Reading some reports.Yes, he was working while enjoying the sea. And, of course, he didn't come alone. There were two precious women in his life with him.A smile crossed his lips at the thought. He finally added someone new to his life, his wife, which probably would add up as their marriage progresses.Then he shifted his gaze for a moment to the expanse of sand, the sea, and two people became the main characters there. Anna and his mother stood side by side by the sea, feeling the rest of the waves wash over their feet. It seemed they had no intention of going further and using the opportunity to chat casually.And that was what they did."I heard what happened at the party. What was wrong?" Adaline asked as the wave receded and showed her legs.Anna stared st

Anna was in Jenny's office the following day. It felt weird to find out she was supposed to take Kate to a donation event from the previous organization and ended up here instead. She even came earlier than the owner of the room."Why so early?" Jenny asked as she closed the door. She then walked to her desk, put down her bag, walked over to Anna, and sat down on the sofa in front of her.Anna watched her do everything and answered when Jenny was ready to talk to her. "I wanted to thank you for your message and understanding," she said the best part after the incident. "Oh, and a day off you gave. I used it well," she smirked."I thought you'd need it. That was a situation," Jenny paused for the right words. "What would best describe it?" she asked after finding nothing.Her brow furrowed as her brain worked to find the worst word. "Awful? Embarrassing? Gross?" She racked her brain.Jenny's expression changed as she heard the last words. "Yes, gross. What Kate did was so gross."Anna

"Who is Adam Green?""He's playing on Lives On."There was a pause of a few seconds.The person on the other end, Dave, seemed confused to find someone picking up his call wasn't someone he was calling, despite a familiar voice. "Mom? Is that you?" He sounded doubtful."Yes, this is your mother," Adaline answered casually."Why is her phone on you? You guys together?""Yes, dear. We have lunch together.""Why didn't she tell me?"Her lips formed a smile, even though she knew it couldn't be seen. "What exactly did she tell you?""She only said about a transfer to Adam Green's team. That's why I asked who he was."Adaline muttered as a conclusion came to her mind. "That's why she keeps her phone within her reach. She's expecting your call," she muttered more to herself, even though it was loud enough for him to hear."Who is expecting my call?""Anna. She's been looking at her phone since we met.""I just came back from a meeting.""Yes, I know. So is Anna. That's why she was just waiti

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
