The Billionaire's Housemaid How old are you this year?
Despite various troubles, the Matteo family's reception retained its elegance.In the hall, soothing piano music filled the air, neither too loud to overwhelm conversations nor so soft that it made pauses seem monotonous.The waitstaff, highly trained and efficient, gracefully navigated the room, offering trays of red wine and champagne for guests to indulge in.The banquet exuded an elegance that didn't quite match Uncle Matteo's somewhat carefree personality.Rowan and her companions made their way around the venue, ultimately finding an empty corner sofa to rest, with nothing in hand.Rowan refrained from alcohol, and Victor, being under 18, wasn't allowed to drink.Naomi, however, decided to enjoy a glass of red wine offered by a passing waiter. As she was about to bring the wine glass to her lips, she noticed Rowan's surprised gaze fixed upon her.She met her eyes and said disapprovingly, "How old are you?How can you drink?"She was stunned for a moment, probably because she did
The Billionaire's Housemaid Past Events
The atmosphere among the Uncle Matteo family siblings fell into a momentary hush.Naomi abruptly broke the silence, declaring, "Rowan must be privy to everything."Rowan cast her gaze upward, puzzled.Furrowing her brow, Naomi continued, "Why, do you truly believe she genuinely cares for you and speaks on your behalf? She merely stated that you've formed a close bond with Victor, not to kindle their relationship!"Rowan wasn't as brusque as Uncle Matteo, nor was she naive to the ways of the world. She recognized the veiled implications behind Miss Kate's composed words.Her curiosity got the best of her, prompting Rowan to ask, "If you comprehend everything, why do you keep affording her the chance to flaunt her knowledge?"For a brief moment, Naomi's expression darkened, only to swiftly return to her usual demeanor.With a cold snort, she retorted, "If you still have the inclination to concern yourself with other people's disputes, you'd be wise to focus more on your own affairs!"Ev
The Billionaire's Housemaid Do you want to go back
Do you want to go back? "Thank you, I think I look good today too." Naomi's eyes were filled with burning flames, and she almost said this through gritted teeth. Rowan was a little helpless. These two people are still holding grudges about what happened in the morning and don't want to give in to each other. She gently pulled the corner of James' clothes. James immediately understood and stopped competing with Naomi. He turned around and said goodbye to Uncle again. When it was time to leave, Victor came to her side and whispered, "Sister, can I go and play with you when you have time?" "Okay." She responded. Although she doesn’t understand how a boy who is almost 9 years older than her can play with her. Because of the direction, if you want to leave the banquet hall, you have to pass by David James kept holding her hand for some unknown reason. She struggled slightly a few times, but did not struggle away. She could only let him pull her forward. When he passed by David
The Billionaire's Housemaid So it seems
"Is Miss Naomi still good looking? The last time I saw her was when she came to Mexico to perform while she was quite young, and she was under the care of the Williams Family." The two Williams brothers remained quiet, and Jessica turned to Rowan to inquire once more. Rowan couldn't make sense of it at all. Why did James and Steve fall silent when Jessica brought up Naomi? What else was concealed? In response to Jessica's query, Rowan told her, "She's very good-looking. She has a youthful appearance and seems younger than her actual age. The only downside is her temper." She cast a brief, questioning look at James, who continued to stay silent, and then suddenly leaned in to ask Jessica, "Sister Jessica, isn't the Naomi family hosting a birthday celebration today?" Initially, she hoped that Jessica, who seemed to be in the know, would shed light on what they meant by "trap and being deceived." Surprisingly, Jessica asked her, "Is it Miss Naomi's birthday today?" Rowan nodded.
The Billionaire's Housemaid Returning to David family house
Both the Williams brothers and Jessica appeared eager to put the turbulent matters concerning the Uncle Matteo family behind them. After that eventful night, no one dared to bring up those past events again. Rowan, out of genuine concern, initially asked a few questions, but she soon realized that it might be best for Jessica if they all refrained from discussing it further.Despite the awkward silence that followed, it was apparent that the Uncle Matteo family remained indifferent to the discomfort their actions had caused. Two days after the banquet, Uncle Matteo orchestrated a dinner gathering at his house, with a clear intention: he wanted to meet with James. The person he had sent, who had a role similar to that of a housekeeper, made it explicitly known that James was the one they were seeking.James, given his character, did not outright refuse the invitation, even though he knew what was expected of him as a junior member. As James headed to the appointment, Jessica's face bor
The Billionaire's Housemaid Because of grandpa
Because of GrandpaWhen David texted her, she was still in the middle of her breakfast.Upon hearing her phone ring, he quickly picked it up and glanced at the screen.David inquired, "Are you alright? I'm downstairs."She hastily gulped down her porridge and addressed those at the table."I need to head out."James hesitated briefly but eventually nodded, offering, "Don't hesitate to call if you require any assistance."Since last night, Rowan had been regretful about letting him leave, and she vigorously nodded in agreement."I understand."In a hushed tone, Jessica, feeling a sense of unease, questioned Rowan, "Do you really have to go?"Having learned from James about the previous encounter with Flora and David's mother in the hospital's underground parking lot, Jessica was acutely aware of the David family's aversion to Rowan.She sympathized with how uncomfortable that experience had been and genuinely didn't want Rowan to face them alone again.The concern of her friends warme
The Billionaire's Housemaid Nothing Serious
Nothing serious"Do you still want to give Flora a lecture?" David's mother's words immediately silenced DavidDavid cast a complex glance at Flora. After a moment, he spoke softly, "I'll take her to meet Dad. You can have your conversation first."David's mother let out a disdainful snort but refrained from saying more. David led Rowan to the second floor of the villa.Rowan felt a bit puzzled. "Won't your father come downstairs to join the activities?" she asked.David remained silent for a while before replying, "His condition has worsened over the past two days, and the doctor recommended he stay in bed for more rest."His weariness was evident in his tone, and Rowan couldn't help but sigh, her expression tinged with sadness.The two ascended the stairs in silence. Suddenly, David spoke, "I didn't expect this to happen just now. We had already agreed on it before.""Hmm?" Rowan took a moment to grasp his reference.He shook his head nonchalantly, saying, "It's all right."Then, he
The Billionaire's Housemaid Give him a chance
Give him a chanceDavid's father, with a contemplative pause, responded to Rowan, "Uncle, don't blame me for talking too much. David is already an adult, so why should you keep opposing it if they have to get married? Making fun of your own body is too much like child's play."David's father didn't reply directly to Rowan but changed the subject, saying, "I discovered something a few days ago."This revelation left Rowan in shock, prompting her to inquire, "What's the matter?"In response, David's father reached into the low cabinet beside the bed, withdrew a white envelope, and handed it to her, saying, "See for yourself."Rowan accepted the envelope with a sense of skepticism, noting its lightness and suspecting it contained photographs or postcards. Slowly opening it, she retrieved a piece of paper inside, revealing several photos, each taken from peculiar angles, suggesting they were captured secretly.As she laid eyes on the person featured in the photographs, Rowan's breath caug

The Billionaire's Housemaid New Alert!!!!
Instantly, the air around David crackled with tension. He swiftly shed his suit, the fabric feeling heavy in his trembling as he handed it over to Richard, who felt like crying at the back of his boss—this was all his boss had been working for in the past few months: to have Miss Rowan to himself finally, without fear of Flora hurting her again. Just then, James' phone buzzed, interrupting the silence that engulfed the atmosphere. Seeing the caller, James picked up at once. "Hello, babe," James said into the phone, drawing curious glances from David and Richard. To them, only Rowan would receive such a nickname. Seeing their suspicious gazes, he switched the phone to loudspeaker. "Hi, Naomi, you can speak now," James invited. "Miss Rowan has been rushed to the hospital. She's unable to fly; she started having contractions before she entered the plane," Naomi informed them. Before James could reply, David snatched the phone from his hands. "Miss Naomi, this is her husband at the ho
The Billionaire's Housemaid The wedding day
The room was alive with happiness as Flora jubilated, knowing that in a few hours, every TV station and blogger would be buzzing about her wedding to David Thompson, the president of the Oregon group of companies."As the heiress of Seraphims Holding, I only deserve the best," Flora declared from where she lay on the bed, with Andrew planting kisses on her neck and along her jawline."You know I will compensate you handsomely. I panicked when I found out David had regained his memory but didn't want me anymore. I thought everything was over, after years of patiently waiting," Flora confessed, a smile playing on her lips."I've told you that you don't have any problems. Since you've opened up to me about your true feelings and that it's me you love, and only his money you desire, since you've promised that it's my child you'll carry in his house, then I don't have any issues. The wedding is set to proceed, and in a few hours, you'll be Mrs. Thompson officially, but inwardly, you'll be M
The Billionaire's Housemaid Steve decision
It had been a few days, and tension hung thick in the air as Steve returned to James's house to deliver his response. The silence that filled the room was deafening, each breath heavy with anticipation. Jessica, though she thought she was prepared for any outcome, couldn't help but rub her hands together nervously. Ryan, sensing the tension, rested his head on her lap, his instincts picking up on the palpable anxiety swirling around them. "So, brother, have you finally made your decision?" James asked, his tone harsh yet tinged with regret. In the past few days, he had come to realize that his emotions had clouded his judgment. He understood that everything Steve had done was out of love for him — Steve didn't want him to lose the love of his life, just as James had lost his. It was this realization that had prompted James to allow Steve to make his own decision, even if it meant James would have to bear the pain of parting with his brother, if only for a while. "Yes, kid brother,"
The Billionaire's Housemaid Knowing the truth
What?" David's father asked, surprised by his son's allegations. "Dad, answer me. Are you involved with her too?" David demanded. "No, I'm not. And I'm disappointed that you would think so little of your father," David's father said. "I don't care, Dad. If she knows something about you significant enough to trade for my safety, then it must be substantial, and I need to know about it today," David said defiantly "Sit down, and I will tell you everything," David's father said. Reluctantly, David slumped into the chair, his anger palpable, emanating from him like a dark cloud. "Firstly, I discovered the kind of person Flora was after you started seeing her. Knowing how much you love her compelled me to dig deeper. I didn't want you to end up with the wrong woman. After finding out that she was involved with different men, I decided to confront her myself instead of letting you do it. During our conversation, she confessed that her uncle had forced her into those situations and that
The Billionaire's Housemaid Secret
"What do you mean, David? It was the marriage certificate we both signed, isn't that what we both wanted back then? Just because you didn't have the memory doesn't change the fact that your mother is aware of it, and a mother can't lie," Flora's voice came over the phone, her tone laced with frustration and desperation. She wasn't even attempting to come to David's house, realizing she had nothing left to lose."Flora, even if it is true, I don't want this marriage anymore. We have to annul the certificate," David stated firmly, using a word he never wanted to utter."What? David, are you trying to use me and then discard me? We've been dating for almost seven years. Now you don't want me anymore, and you didn't consider the repercussions it will have on my family and me, on the company, on everyone who believed we would end up together... I won't force you, David, but think about the consequences. We are legally married starting next week. If we don't announce it publicly, I don't kn
The Billionaire's Housemaid Where did you get it?
Naomi could only hum softly as she listened to Rowan's teasing remarks. Bending down, she reached for the coffee cups placed in front of them, an order she had made for both of them. Savoring the warmth, she took a delicate sip before carefully placing the cup back on the table.Inwardly, Naomi grasped the subtle undertones of Rowan's words. Since meeting James, she felt a shift within herself, a desire to embody qualities that might earn his admiration. But could she confide in Rowan that the catalyst for her change was the very man who harbored feelings for her?"Miss Rowan, I can't say there's any love involved. Let's just say someone's critique nudged me towards self-improvement," Naomi replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. Rowan's gentle smile lingered, leaving Naomi to ponder if her response had hit the mark."You know, being challenged by someone and feeling compelled to better oneself because of them, well, it's akin to love. You might not realize it now, but soon enough
The Billionaire's Housemaid The Rude girl
Before James exited the hospital, he had arranged to meet Naomi, only to hear the distressing news that she was banned from leaving the house. Naomi, a pivotal figure in her father's company, had inadvertently stirred up trouble by being seen at clubs, inviting scrutiny from shareholders and adding pressure to her father's plate. She was slated to marry into another wealthy family to enhance the company's stature. James, though conflicted, found himself driving toward Naomi's house despite his vow to stay away and avoid complicating matters for both families. The prospect of being desired by Naomi's father for his daughter weighed heavily on him, even as he questioned his own intentions. Arriving at the grand mansion, James couldn't help but admire the exquisite taste of Naomi's father. The meticulously landscaped gardens, the elegant architecture both inside and out, and the grandeur of the estate left James in awe, despite his familiarity with opulent surroundings. "It seems I'll

The love she thought would one day be hers had been claimed, sealed, and signed on a marriage certificate.Her steps quickened, driven by a mix of anguish and fear. She wished she could stop, and gather herself, but the intensity of her emotions made it impossible to fake composure.

The Billionaire's Housemaid Marriage certificate
Three agonizing days had crawled by since Rowan left David's house. The deafening silence hung heavy in her heart as she resisted the urge to reach out to him or answer his father's calls. Flora's mysterious behavior and her cousin's news about an award only added to the tumult of emotions swirling within her. The absence of David was a constant ache, the void left by his departure filled with memories that refused to fade. Today found Rowan grappling with the challenges of the IT department at the hospital, a temporary distraction from the emotional turmoil. As she navigated the hospital corridors, a man emerged from a ward—discharged after six months of battling mental illness triggered by a traumatic accident. His struggle mirrored Rowan's own internal conflict. The man, seemingly normal at times but haunted by bouts of lunacy, resonated with her. What gripped her most was the unwavering love poured onto him by his family, clinging to the hope of his eventual restoration, even in
