The Billionaire's Bidding (English) Chapter 31.1
Chapter 31.1Catelyn immediately embraced me and comforted me. I held tightly onto her arm that was wrapped around me and drew strength from it. I cried out all the pain and heaviness I felt."Shh... Calm down first, okay?" Cate soothed me as she gently rubbed my back. I sniffled and nodded while trying to stop myself from crying again. Catelyn loosened her embrace and sat in front of me. She wiped the tears off my face and smiled at me afterward."Tell me, what happened?" she asked gently.Tears welled up in my eyes again because of her question. I didn’t know why I was like this—maybe it was just because of the effect of my pregnancy. She handed me a handkerchief, and I immediately took it and wiped my eyes and face."I'll get you a bottle of water," she said. I didn’t answer, and she left.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I squeezed them shut as the scene I saw earlier replayed in my mind—their embrace and the kiss they shared. My heart ached sharply, like it was being sque

Chapter 31.2It was already getting dark when I arrived at Wyatt's company, but it wasn’t time to go home yet, so he was probably still in his office. Good thing I didn’t have trouble finding a ride earlier. I walked straight inside, not even acknowledging the guard who greeted me. Unlike the last time I came here, there were still a lot of employees when I got inside.“Is Wyatt here?” I asked the receptionist.“He’s still in his office. What do you need from him?” she asked politely.“I’d like to talk to him,” I said.“Do you have an appointment?”I bit my lower lip and shook my head.“I’m sorry, ma’am, but you can’t see Sir without an appointment,” she said.I took a deep breath and nodded. I drummed my fingers on the reception desk while thinking about what to do. I looked at the elevator that had just opened, then looked back at the receptionist who was busy on the phone. Making sure she wasn’t looking, I quietly stepped away and quickly ran to the elevator before it could close.

Chapter 32.1I waited for him. I waited for his explanation. I waited for him to explain everything to me, but it never came. He didn’t even leave me a message to at least assure me, to give me the peace of mind I’ve been longing for these past few days.For once, I’ll try to trust him, even if he already broke that trust days ago. Just one explanation of everything, I’ll accept it—even if he has crushed my heart so many times. But if he still won’t come to me to explain everything, then he’ll leave me with no choice.I didn’t visit Dad at the hospital and stayed at the apartment instead, waiting for him or at least his call. But none of what I hoped for happened. Maybe he’s really decided that I’m not the one for him, that it’s really Phoebe he wants.I placed a hand on my belly as I stared at the door. Seconds turned into minutes, then into hours, but no one came. I tried calling him, but he wouldn’t answer until I eventually fell asleep from all the calling and waiting.The next mo

Chapter 32.2I approached Daddy’s bed and placed the fruits I brought on the table beside him. I looked around for something to slice the apple with, and thankfully, I found one in one of the drawers.I sat on a monoblock chair and was about to start peeling the apple when he suddenly spoke."What are you doing here?" he asked coldly. I bowed my head and smiled faintly.This is better, right? Better to see him like this—awake and angry—than lying unconscious and unmoving. Better to be yelled at than never hear his voice again.I lifted my head and glanced at Daddy, who was looking out the window. I let out a sigh and smiled. I continued peeling the apple."How are you feeling? Are you getting used to it?" I asked softly, trying to change the topic."Come on, Eloise. What are you really doing here?" he asked again, irritated. I could tell he was restraining himself from yelling.I set down the apple and the small knife. I bit my lower lip and looked at him with tearful eyes. He was sti

Chapter 33.1Leaving everything behind is the hardest. But leaving also means starting anew in a place where no one knows you, and in a place where you can be yourself without judgment.I smiled as I felt the fresh air blowing my long hair behind me. I looked around and smiled even more. I made the right decision. I made the right choice to leave and start over.I glanced at Daddy, who was frowning while staring at the house. I gave a small smile and stood beside him. I also stared at the house in front of us.A simple two-story house. It's far from the houses we're used to in the city. There's nothing wrong with a little bit of a change.Change is constant. Why not go with it?“Dad?” I called out to him hesitantly. He just frowned and walked toward the house. I took a deep breath and turned to look at the van we rented to get here. I smiled at the driver who was now carrying one of our suitcases.“Thank you so much for your help,” I said with a smile. He scratched the back of his hea

Chapter 33.2One night, I suddenly woke up craving chicken wings. But since it was already late and the market was far from our house, I just ate some fruit and drank milk to help me fall back asleep.I manage to get through the hardships of everyday life—the longing, the pain, and the thousands of questions I keep burying deep inside just to forget. This is not just for me, but for all of us.Wearing a white dress that reached down to my ankles, I walked toward the shore. My feet sank into the white sand with every step I took.The wind danced with my white dress and blew my long hair to my back. I gathered my hair and held it in place to keep a few strands from covering my eyes.When I reached the shore, I sat on the sand a few paces away from the water. I lifted the hem of my dress up to my knees and let the waves reach my feet. I leaned back on both hands and put all my weight on them. I looked up at the sky and smiled upon seeing birds flying north.I quietly watched the sun slow

Chapter 34.1Months after I gave birth to Lauren, I applied as a receptionist at the nearest resort from our home. As much as I wanted to be the one to take care of her and witness all the new things she achieves every day, I couldn’t. I needed to work for the three of us. We couldn’t just sit around and wait for someone to help us. I could endure all of it for her and for her future. "Hi, Loise!" Carla greeted me. I smiled back and greeted her too. Of all the employees here, she’s the only one who's kind to me. The other women here give me the stink eye the moment they see me. I didn’t do anything wrong, but I guess no matter how good you are, people will always have something to say. I just continued walking toward the reception area. I need money more than I need to ask them what their problem is with me. I don’t have the energy for a confrontation. If they’re mad at me, so be it. As long as I know I didn’t do anything wrong to them. I was so absorbed in my work that I

Chapter 34.2I was setting the food on the table when Lauren suddenly got down from her seat and ran outside the house."Grandpa!" I heard her yell from outside. I couldn't hear what else she said as her voice grew fainter.Moments later, the two of them entered the kitchen. Only Lauren’s cheerful voice filled the air."Yes! We'll play with my dolls today! Do you want to join us, Grandpa? It will be so much fun! I'll let you borrow Wendy," Lauren said. Wendy is one of the dolls she named.Daddy was about to respond to her when he noticed me watching the two of them. He looked away and shook his head at Lauren. Her shoulders slumped and she pouted. I thought she was about to cry, but to my surprise, she smiled at her grandfather instead."Okay! We'll play some other time then!" she said cheerfully and ran back to her seat, still smiling.My heart ached at what I saw. She's just a child, yet she already knows how to pretend in front of others, especially in front of us.How did you grow

Chapter 30.2We parted ways in the hallway because we were all assigned to different departments. I went back to my work and continued until the end of the day. I took my cellphone out of my bag as I walked out of the office. Work was done, so I could finally go home. I texted Catelyn that I’d visit Dad today. I hadn’t received any text from Nurse Tessa, so I planned to go to the hospital and check on him myself. Before I could even get a reply from Catelyn, my phone rang. It was Nurse Tessa! I didn’t know why, but I was so nervous as I answered her call. “Eloise?” Nurse Tessa’s voice came through the other line. “Hello?” My heart was pounding, and my entire body was shaking. I swallowed hard, trying to calm myself. I didn’t think I could handle it if she gave me bad news. “Y-your D-dad…” Her voice trembled, and she sounded like she was about to cry. A tear escaped my eye, and something clogged my throat. I couldn’t speak. No. I didn’t want to think the worst! “W
