The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 97: Sincere Apologies
Matthew slightly bowed his head, staring at the profile of the woman walking beside him. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Flora, I'm sorry…" Flora stared straight ahead, nearly making Matthew believe she hadn't heard him. As he was about to repeat himself, she abruptly responded: "You didn't trust me." It was a statement, not a question: "You didn't trust me and didn't listen to my explanation. Do you know how important trust is in a relationship?" Matthew hadn't known how important it was before. But now, he knew. He had experienced it himself. "Things won't be the same from now on." he stated emphatically: "That was my mistake. I will change. From now on... whatever you do, I will trust and support you. Can you forgive me?" He didn't dare plead or beg, only managing to ask in the most nonchalant and casual tone he could muster. He didn't impose on Flora, let alone dared force her to make a choice whether to forgive or not. He had made up his mind that even if she did n

"Why are you standing there like a statue? If you want in, come in, if you want out, go out. You just stand there, I might mistake you for a newly bought ornament." Young Mimi was brimming with satisfaction, closely observing Winky's every movement, concurrently relaying the situation to Matthew. "How should I deal with you? Break your arms or legs first? Or should I cage you?" Her voice carried a joy she could hardly suppress, resonating down the hallway, reaching Winky's ears. His brow furrowed as he scanned the surroundings, striving to filter out these disturbing sounds. He understood Mimi's words aimed to unsettle him. Aha! He hoisted his gun, aimed, and fired without hesitation. A laser beam on one side suddenly dropped in intensity. Seizing this chance, he dashed through, shattering a few obstructive "barriers" along the way. Despite several injuries, he finally escaped. Mimi, who had already reached the second-floor balcony of the building, raised her gun, aimed at the hea

She exited Paul's infirmary area, moving directly towards Hubert's room and knocked on the door. "Young lady, why are you here at this hour?" Hubert appeared, probably having just gotten out of bed, his hair a mess, clothes disheveled, devoid of his usual polished appearance. But Flora paid no heed to his appearance. As soon as the door opened, she blurted out: "Help me mobilize manpower to pinpoint Winky's exact location." She added after a beat: "You have thirty minutes, sooner if possible." "Winky? Do you mean... Winky, the underworld assassin? Who do you intend to deal with?" Hubert shook his head: "Winky works for the Whites, he's untouchable. If there's someone you want to deal with, you can tell me, and I will…" "The one I want to deal with is Winky. He stole the stem cells for Paul's graft, I need to find him and bring him back." Flora interrupted him, no time for pleasantries. Meanwhile, Matthew stood outside the room where Selena was confined, separated by one-way glass.

"Auntie, don't worry too much, Charlie... he will be fine..." Mimi took her hand, held it tightly, ready to hold her back from reacting too strongly: "I will get people to search the bottom of the cliff immediately. You go back first, don't stand here, it's dangerous!" After a minute of being overwhelmed by shock and fear, Matthew also regained his composure. He held Flora tightly, gently pulling her away from the dangerous area, constantly comforting her: "It will be okay... Trust me, I will bring our son home safe and sound... I promise..." "How can you promise?" Flora burst into tears, shaking her head incessantly: "How can you assure the safety of our child, when he fell down the cliff? Because of you, Selena has repeatedly harmed me and our child... Tell me, isn't seeing you again the greatest misfortune of my life? Wasn't us being together... a mistake in the first place?" A small sound echoed, the voice stopped, and Flora collapsed in Matthew's arms. Little Mimi had taken a
Last Updated : 2023-07-28The Billionaire's One-Night Stand! Chapter 101: Love Overflowing
She had once thought that Matthew was cold and unfeeling, incapable of emotions, not knowing how to love others. Only now did she realize that he truly was a wonderful father, always caring for his children, loving them more than anyone else. She suddenly felt like she was not a worthy mother, at least in terms of Paul's health issues, she had not noticed the abnormalities in the past. Compared to Matthew who was always with the child, she felt guilty towards her baby. But her child was very well-behaved, complaining only a couple of times before changing the subject: "Mom, let me tell you about the everyday stories dad tells me! He tells me stories every day, even jokes, they're hilarious! Oh right, dad knows wood carving! He knows I miss you, so he carved many small wooden statues that look like you, let me show you!" Like sharing a treasure with her most loved one, Paul leaned over, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a small wooden box. His tiny, practiced hands

Unable to stand it any longer, Andrey, standing by, interrupted: "At this point, none of us know where Matthew is, he may not even make it in time if he rushes here..." He gave Paul a warm smile: "Where did our little princess's bravery go?" Paul didn't answer, seemingly ignoring Andrey's question, because her clear round eyes were fixated at the end of the hallway: "Daddy!" Matthew, with a worn-out and dusty appearance, his hair a mess, approached with irregular steps. His disheveled appearance stunned everyone instantly, Flora was even shocked: "Why do you look..." "Why are you just getting here? Is there any father like you? Is there anything more important than your daughter's health?" Mrs. Smith, Flora's mother, looked at him with an unkind gaze, scolding without any respect. He didn't argue, only nodded: "Yes, you're right, it's my fault." He still called her 'mother', knowing she hadn't accepted him as her son-in-law. His eyes shifted back to the quiet child, he managed a

At that moment, Flora's wandering gaze fell on the back seat of a car: "Why is there a little girl here?" It was a very adorable girl. One of Matthew's men scratched his head: "When we found Daniel, he was in bed with a woman. This girl is her daughter. We thought the girl was Daniel's illegitimate child, so we brought her along." He sighed: "We brought her here only to find out she wasn't. We're rather at a loss." Matthew smiled at Flora: "Once we sort this out, I'll arrange for someone to take her home." The cave's entrance was hard to locate, dark and just wide enough for a person to squeeze through. But the deeper one ventured, the more spacious it became, as if leading to a path. Matthew explained as they walked: "The location of this tomb is what's represented in the map you gave Ethelbert. It's the treasure that people yearn for, and are willing to pay any price to attain." "A treasure?" Flora widened her eyes in surprise at his sudden mention of a treasure. "Yes, a price

“Would you have listened if I had said otherwise?” Selena laughed maniacally: “Today, you will all die with me!” All eyes fell on her, and she reveled in the moment: “There are no other exits! Only one way out! Macario, I bet you never thought you'd be fooled by a woman like me? Ha ha, I only collaborated with you to see Flora's misery and Matthew's pain. I didn't expect you and your minions to be so useless. Couldn't even handle Matthew... No matter, if you can't, I can. I'll bury Matthew here, avenging your father, okay?” “You... you fooled me?” “Yes, I deceived you. So what?” Selena coolly admitted. She had nothing to lose, having decided to die here today. Nothing was off the table. “You damn woman!” Macario roared: “I'll kill you!” He lunged towards her, intending to kill his betrayer. But before he could lay a finger on her, Matthew fired. In an instant, Macario collapsed in a pool of blood. Selena shrugged: “Why bother? We're all going to die anyway.” “Selena, this is

“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
