The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 60: The Girl Always Causes Trouble
Selena furrowed her brow, her disdain growing ever more profound: "You piece of trash! Cowardly and useless! Unable to deal with a single woman! What good is a worthless cur like you to me? I should have never trusted you from the beginning! So-called killer without batting an eye, extraordinary martial skills… Damn it! Nothing but a piece of garbage!" The more she spoke, the more furious she became. Anger ignited like a raging fire, consuming her rationality. "Get out! Get out of my house!" "Ding dong..." The sudden ring of the doorbell interrupted, the conflict paused from one side. Selena took a few more steps, her body shivering as she peered through the peephole. Outside stood a somewhat familiar man. Selena shoved Winky's arm, causing his body to sway: "Get out of sight! It's someone from Matthew!" She absolutely could not let Matthew's people know about Winky's existence. "Miss White, are you still sleeping?" The implication being she had kept the outsider waiting too lo

“By the way, Boss, you mentioned Flora was attacked. Our men reported a sudden appearance of a 14-15 year old kid by her side. That night, the kid protected Flora and seems to have earned her trust.” A mere teenager, yet capable of defeating Selena's guards. A force not to be underestimated. In an intricate dance of elegance and subtlety, if the Whites were just an ordinary influential family, it would be one thing. But their association with the underworld was unnerving. Winky, their bodyguard, had skills which undeniably placed him among the upper echelon of talents in this clandestine world. Matthew furrowed his brows: "Have we investigated?" He asked, albeit without holding out much hope. A force capable of producing someone like that certainly had the capacity to conceal all pertinent information. As expected, his subordinate shook his head: "We've looked into it, but there's not a shred of evidence. It's as if the kid just appeared out of thin air." He pondered before sugg

There were more people waiting in line outside the ultrasound room than Flora had expected. She had to wait for a long time before her name was called. The city hospital was always overcrowded at this hour. Doctor's appointments could be scheduled in advance, but clinical... The ultrasound room had a clear priority, giving preference to serious patients, the elderly, and children. Without a choice, the number of ultrasound rooms and doctors were limited, and the only option was to wait. "If I had known, I would've taken you to a private clinic. Waiting like this, who knows when our turn will be." the worry on Patrick's face did not fade a bit. He paced restlessly. Flora grabbed Patrick's sleeve, stopping his incessant pacing, she weakly smiled: "You're the one who said the doctors at the city hospital are more reliable than those at the private clinics. Don't stress so much, it's actually a good thing that we're not prioritized." Not being prioritized meant that her condition was

“You're up?” The tall man sitting on the sofa sprang up. “Patrick?” After a moment of surprise, Flora remembered that Patrick had mentioned he would take her to the hospital: “You... are you early?” She was a bit flustered. The apartment where Flora was staying was very close to the city hospital, she had already made an appointment the previous day, so she could go straight to her check-up upon arrival. “The fetus is about six weeks old. Tension and mild abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy are completely normal and nothing to worry about. You should drink plenty of water, split your meals, elevate your pillow when sleeping, if your stomach is tense next time, you can apply a warm compress…” The doctor rattled off a list of precautions for early pregnancy. Flora's eyes widened, she could hardly believe what the doctor just said: “Are you saying... I'm pregnant?” "Indeed." The doctor nodded nonchalantly: "It's just the start of the pregnancy, the body is merely showin

"Honey, why do you look so weary?" The voice deliberately exuded sweetness, so saccharine it was nauseating. Matthew's face looked as though he had heard the buzz of a pesky fly. He waved his hand dismissively: "What do you need from me?" "Honey, what's wrong with you? I'm your wife, can't I miss you? Do I have to have something to ask you every time I look for you..." Selena snuggled up to Matthew, whimpering: "I've missed you... You've been away for so long, and you're not being affectionate with me at all..." While outwardly she appeared sweet and soft, inwardly she was gnashing her teeth. She despised Flora to the point of madness, if not for her, why would this man be so cold towards her? She was supposed to be his wife! His legally married wife! Yet, there was no warmth in his eyes when he looked at her. Each time she saw his empty, emotionless eyes filled with icy disdain, she wished she could kill Flora instantly. "Don't say such nauseating things." Matthew frowned, wh
Last Updated : 2023-04-27The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 65: Mother-Child Bond
Cold eyes observed the child who appeared out of the blue, carrying an array of things. He looked her up and down, then down to up. Then he turned to Flora: "Where did you pick up this little one? She looks so tiny, can she even cook?" Flora was torn between laughter and tears. She'd never imagined the first thing Matthew would care about when seeing Emma would be this. Before she could reply, Emma dumped her belongings, planted her hands on her hips, puffed her cheeks at the man before her: "Listen here, mister, I cook really well. But it's not your turn to eat... hmph!" Matthew ignored the little girl, lowering his voice to ask Flora: "This helper of yours... doesn't she bother you, being a third wheel between us? Such a glaring light bulb..." "We're not just the two of us, there are two more children." Flora shrugged: "Don't tell me you've forgotten about our kids?" Truthfully, this meeting wasn't spontaneous, it was planned beforehand. Matthew had always wanted to take Flo

The man's deep dark eyes outside flashed a dangerous light. He tilted his head, retorting: "If not welcoming me, then who are you welcoming? Patrick next door, perhaps?" If he's already next door, then let him stay next door forever. He wouldn't allow any other man to approach his woman. In an instant, Flora turned pale, mouth agape, but not knowing what to say next. This man was too possessive, and today he was not in a good mood, the slightest careless word could spark a bullet. "Since I'm here, are you really going to leave me outside?" Flora frowned at him: "Don't push me, or I'll have you 'dealt with'!" As soon as she finished speaking, she gestured across her neck in a slicing motion. Matthew laughed, before he could reply, a sweet feminine voice echoed from behind: "Auntie, who exactly are you planning to 'deal with'?" Flora's beautiful face froze, a big question mark appearing on it. Who was this girl? Why was she interfering in her conversation with Matthew? The gir

"It's still early, come in and have a cup of tea before you go." Flora opened the door wider, letting Patrick inside. At this very moment, the bathroom door swung open. Matthew, wrapped merely in a simple bathrobe, a steamy aura about him, a towel still in his hand, strode straight outside. He coincidentally bumped into the pair who had just entered. His eyes were concealing a secret delight, nonchalantly drying his damp hair while extending a smile to the man standing behind Flora: "Did you come over for a visit? Make yourself at home!" He then turned to Flora: "My love, you bring a friend home without giving me a heads-up. What an unconventional way to receive guests!" His tone was dripping with ostentation. Matthew and Patrick, formerly schoolmates, were friends and business partners. They shared a great relationship. However, since the incident involving the two of them and Flora, the dynamics of their relationship had morphed into a mix of friendship and enmity. Looking ba

“The pearls on the dress are so beautiful!” Matthew brimmed with delight, his smile twinkling as he turned to the person beside him: "The pearls are locally harvested by the islanders, they're all natural... As for this wedding dress, it's a heartfelt gift from them to us." Despite being not the creation of skilled artisans or renowned designers, the dress bore the love and blessings of the island's inhabitants. He believed that once Flora donned this gown, she would be the happiest bride on their big day. Standing aside, Grace rolled her eyes: "I never imagined you could be this sentimental, big brother!" Turning to Flora, she teased: "Sister-in-law, remember to keep him on a tight leash, don't let his sentimentalism make others feel queasy." Grace had long forgotten her once earnest desire to marry Matthew. Now, she genuinely wished him and Flora a life of shared happiness. Matthew chuckled: "My dear sister, no need to feel jealous of your sister-in-law. Perhaps you should seiz
The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 114: As You Wish!
Matthew, spotting his son, asked: "Don't you want to bid Anna farewell? You two had such fun together, I bet you can't bear to see her go, right?" To his surprise, Charlie shook his head: "No, Dad, I don't want to say goodbye to that liar." The boy lowered his head, his voice steady: "She said she would stay here with Paul and me, but then she just left without a word. She really is a liar!" The boy slowly walked back to his room. Flora watched her son's retreating figure, unable to hold back a sigh: "He must be really upset." "We can't do anything about it. She's their child after all, we can't force her to stay. I know you worry about our son being upset, but don't worry, our boy is strong." And, if the children truly cherish this hard-earned relationship, they can always reconnect when they grow up. "You don't seem worried about him at all." "What else can we do? If it were Paul or our boy staying at someone else's home, I'd certainly rush to bring them back too, I wouldn'
The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 113: Early Wedding
Flora waited until they were away from their daughter's room to give Matthew a playful tug on the ear: "What's this about the wedding? You told me it was in two weeks, how did it suddenly become three days?” It was now that she finally began to question him. Earlier, when Matthew didn't see her react, he thought he had managed to escape unscathed. Little did he expect that she had noted down his wrongdoings, only to bring it up when they were away from their daughter's room. "I was wrong! I was wrong! Oh, my dear wife, please forgive me!" He cried out: "But it's really for you!" "What? How is it for me?" Flora's voice was filled with shock. Why would he move the wedding closer because of her, without her even knowing anything? Matthew rubbed his ear that was still tingling, explaining: "When I was massaging you, you said that two weeks was too long, that you wanted to get married sooner. I thought that since we were almost prepared anyway, it wouldn’t matter if we did it a bit so
The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 112: All For You!
Flora, with drowsy eyes, suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, I spoke with Grace yesterday, and she told me a lot about you. She said most of the houses on the island were built with your money, even the public facilities. I wasn't aware of this before. Seems like I've landed an immensely rich husband, a man of vast wealth?" The cost of construction, let alone the transportation of materials from the mainland, was astronomical. "I knew S.E.I Corporation was huge, but I had no idea you'd also invested in this..." "That's not true." Matthew chuckled: "S.E.I's profit is indeed enormous, but the money used for the island's development didn't come from the corporation. It's a personal endeavor of mine, not part of the corporation's philanthropy." So, the funds for this island's construction, are they Matthew's private money? Such a thought might not be entirely appropriate, yet upon hearing his words, Flora immediately wondered, could he have used money earned from the underworld to
The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 111: Hurts So Much
Once they had settled in, they brought up serious matters. "I heard from him that there is a spy in the organization, but we don't know who." Flora had only heard about this from Matthew. The person opposite her nodded: "I asked our brother about it last time, but he didn't say anything. His demeanor seemed... rather upset." He sighed after speaking, then quickly changed his tone: "But don't worry sister-in-law, once your and brother's happy event is over, we'll investigate the organization. Sooner or later, that spy will expose himself." This matter nagged at Flora's heart. She couldn't understand how Selena had the capacity to manipulate Matthew's subordinates. According to Matthew, she was merely a pawn in Daniel's game. Who was Selena leveraging? Or rather... who was secretly assisting her against Matthew? "Ah... It hurts so much!" A sudden scream from outside in the flower garden startled Flora. She hastily ran out to see Matthew's two brothers, whom she knew, fighting.
The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 110: Bridge Builder
Grace asked anxiously: "Sister-in-law, still no word from my brother?" Flora shook her head in despair. The rescue team had commenced operations, initiating a wide-scale search at sea. There were no updates so far, and Flora was forced to believe that no news sometimes can be good news. "Is there no way to contact him?" Grace furrowed her brows: "Isn't he a tech whiz? Isn't there another way..." Grace's words caused a light to shine in Flora's eyes: "Yes! There is a way!" After a few long dial tones, the call connected successfully and a lazy voice dripped with familiar sarcasm: "Ah, beautiful lady, you finally called me. Didn't you know how much I've missed you..." "Hubert, cut the crap." Flora interrupted Hubert's grandiloquent remarks: "I need you to locate Matthew, can you do that?" "I can track him down, yes..." On the other end, keyboard clattering sounded: "But for what purpose? Are you trying to catch him cheating?" Hubert clicked his tongue, completely exaggerating.
The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 109: Vast Fortune
After waiting about five minutes, the door opened and Grace walked straight in. "Matthew, you wanted to see me?" "Did your sister-in-law tell you to talk to me?" Grace's words took Matthew aback, not because he didn't expect her to know the ins and outs of the matter, but because she referred to Flora as her sister-in-law. It suddenly occurred to him, could the girl he saw as a sister have figured things out on her own? He let out a sigh and said softly: "She's quite worried about you." "In the past, we used to head to the beach at this time, swimming and discussing everything under the sun. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and you have brought your wife and children here, even proposed on this island..." Grace looked up at the sky: "I used to think that I would marry you someday, become your wife. Only now do I realize it was all a fantasy of mine. You have already found your happiness, and perhaps I will too, with someone truly suitable." Matthew had been
The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 108: In a Place Where Only Us
After dinner, Matthew took the children stargazing. Flora, feeling upset, decided to sit back and rest in a corner. A man in his early forties, presumably the owner of the house, seized the opportunity when Matthew was not around to bring a plate of fruits over, setting it on the table: “Try some island specialties. These are all fruits you can't find on the mainland.” Seeing her pick up a piece of fruit, he continued: “Grace was a bit impolite today, please don't take it to heart. We've spoiled her too much.” “She… seems to have a liking for my husband.” The affection in her eyes when she looked at Matthew and the hostility when she looked at Flora were easily discernible, even to a blind person. The man nodded, recounting: “The girl's a good swimmer. A few years ago, she saved two men out at sea. One of them was Matthew. He stayed here for nearly a year, learning to swim with her. During that time, he became quite close with everyone on the island. The girl… has wanted to
The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 107: Wishing To Die But Unable
His cold eyes bore into Winky, he barked: "You want to die after your lady, then die! There's no one stopping you anymore! Go ahead and die! If you don't want to die, then get out of my sight!" "No... I didn't intend to..." Winky clutched his head, his voice trembling: "I had no idea she would just stand there and not evade..." His move wasn't swift, Mimi could've easily dodged if she had been alert.. The medical team arrived swiftly, and Mimi was immediately taken into surgery. Her wound was deep. Not only did Mimi not evade Winky's blade, but she also leaned forward, allowing the blade to pierce deeper into her chest. "Fortunately, the wound isn't in a critical location. Her life isn't in danger, don't worry." Andrey remarked, although he suspected Winky had intentionally missed vital organs. Otherwise, a renowned assassin like him surely would've known where to strike to take a life. The surgery lasted nearly two hours. Flora sat outside the operation room until the doctors c
