Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 98 - The Bracelet
"Anna."Their heads automatically turned to the sound source and found two familiar faces there. Oh, they couldn't forget the fact that they were near those two's offices, Matt and Jeff. But of all the cafes and restaurants around here, why did Matt and Jeff choose this place?"Matt," Anna said his name in a brighter tone, and it didn't escape Dave's ears. Immediately, annoyance flooded his chest. He hated seeing her react that way, even though he knew he had no right to that. Anna and Matt had been friends for a long time, so it was normal for her to show such an expression when she saw him.Except for the fact that Anna once loved him. Or she might still love him.But then the joy in her eyes quickly turned to sadness. It was the first time they had seen each other after the incident. It was also their first interaction, as neither Matt nor Rebecca had spoken to Anna, leaving her confused and frustrated. If it weren't for the incident with Kate and her morning sickness, Anna would h
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 99 - The Sudden Plan
"Don't tease her. She's having a hard time eating these days."Anna admitted. She was happy to hear Dave say that when Matt teased her about her unusual habit.Yeah, yeah. Anna would also admit. It was the first time she had shown that side to Matt. Anna used to be an independent woman, rarely dated, and never clung to men. And suddenly, she wanted Dave to feed her. She couldn't complain if there were many questions in Matt's head as she would look at herself that way, too.At least, she would think so before the baby came to her. Pregnancy hormones turned her one-eighty-degree into someone she had never been before. As she said, she was a complicated one now.She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. If the day was lovely, it was different from the night. It was quiet. There was no other sound apart from her and the TV.Yes, she was alone. Dave wasn't by her side, as he had to finish his work in his room. And that left her frustrated.Again, she let out a heavy sigh. She really w
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 100 - Perfection In Imperfection
She walked back and forth between the wardrobe and bed for the last fifteen minutes. She would take clothes and other things from the closet and glance at them before deciding to take them to bed. Sometimes, she brought it back when it just didn't feel right to her. But she added more than decreased, so the bed was full of clothes.They would only be gone for a week, but why did she take out almost the entire collection? She definitely couldn't carry them all. That was too much."Are you going to move?" His question seemed to voice her mind. Dave came to check her out between his work."This is too much, right?" A useless question! Everyone could answer it in one go."You know you can go shopping instead of carrying all this."Anna turned her body to face him with enthusiasm on her face. "You're going to let me go shopping?"Since when was she this passionate about shopping?"Yes. But not right after we get to New York. Maybe two or three days later.""But you will let me go, right?"
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 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
