The Billionaire's Surrogate Wife Chapter 34
Samuel had just finished a teleconference meeting with branch leaders scattered across several regions. Sipping the coffee in his cup, the narrow-eyed man was suddenly startled by Axton's unexpected arrival. Without permission, let alone the usual courtesy of knocking on the door first, Axton walked in hastily. Approaching, he headed straight to where Samuel was sitting."Sir, I apologize for barging in like this. But there's something you need to see."Before Axton could continue with what he wanted to show, another figure entered from the door, revealing itself to be Randy. The man threw a worried look identical to what Axton had shown earlier."Why does your face look so strange?""Have you checked the office news today?"Samuel shook his head right then and there. Since morning, he had been busy dealing with work and branch leader meetings, leaving no time to keep up with the news or office gossip."What do you mean by office news?""The employee WhatsApp group is buzzing with gos

Since Samuel officially announced his relationship status with Arianna, there hasn't been any more gossip circulating among Pacific employees. Arianna's relationship with her colleagues has also improved as it used to be. There are no more malicious gossip or derogatory comments heard in the office environment. Even Dinda and Clarissa, who initially wanted Samuel to punish them, were eventually forgiven with the condition of making a written agreement not to repeat their actions.Meanwhile, Axton, assigned to find the mastermind behind the commotion at Pacific, eventually managed to trace the number that first uploaded photos of Samuel and Arianna in the office WhatsApp group. However, when he attempted to investigate further, the number had already been deactivated. This made it difficult for Axton to trace the sender's location."I apologize as, until now, I haven't been able to find out who actually took and sent the photos that caused a commotion yesterday, Sir," Axton regretfully

"Where are you going all dressed up like that?"Samuel, who was sitting watching television at the time, looked puzzled in Arianna's direction. From his eyes, he saw how his wife looked beautifully dressed as if she was going to an event.Today was indeed Sunday. Samuel, after exercising and having breakfast, chose to relax for a while while watching the news on TV."I want to go with Chacha, is that okay?" Arianna whispered. Although she was sure she would be allowed, Arianna felt uneasy if she didn't get permission from her husband."Where are you going with Chacha?" Samuel inquired. He became curious about what kind of event his wife was attending, looking so dressed up."I'm going to a college friends' reunion at Wolfgang."Samuel's eyebrows furrowed. He just found out that Arianna was interested in attending an event he considered a waste of time."Are you sure you want to go to a reunion? Most likely, there will be a lot of gossiping going on," accused Samuel."No way. I won't g

After a few busy days of meetings with Pakuwon executives, as planned, today Samuel received the task of a business trip to South Korea. Together with Arianna, Samuel was scheduled to meet with several business partners to discuss collaboration intentions and expand the Pasific Group's network in building international-scale property companies, especially in Asia. Departing together with Axton, Samuel and Arianna were seen waiting for a while in the executive lounge. When the scheduled departure time for their flight arrived, the three of them quickly boarded the plane. The first two hours in the air seemed to go smoothly. Samuel chose to rest, while Arianna was watching a movie available in front of her. However, Samuel was suddenly overwhelmed with anxiety. Midway through the journey, Arianna felt a change in her body. The increasingly bone-penetrating cold air triggered Arianna's asthma once again. "Why?" "I'm having trouble breathing." "Is your asthma acting up?" Arianna jus

Throughout her life, Arianna had never once traveled abroad. The farthest places she had visited were Bali and Lombok, and that was with Chacha and, finally, during her wedding with Samuel. Korea was undoubtedly the first foreign country she would set foot in, and once again, it was with Samuel. If asked about her dream country, Arianna had one. She had always aspired to visit Switzerland or New Zealand. For her, these two countries were a must-visit if she ever had extra money.Living in a middle-class economy, instead of spending money on vacations abroad, Arianna used her income and bonuses from work for the needs of the orphanage. While many people appreciated their hard work by going on vacations or buying expensive items, Arianna was different. She found immense satisfaction in seeing her siblings in the orphanage experiencing widespread happiness.Arianna and Samuel had been awake since six in the morning. Arianna even helped prepare everything her husband needed before he left

Because she is inherently sociable and easy to get along with, Arianna had no difficulty adapting to Darwin and Celina. While having dinner, the three of them continued chatting. It wasn't long before Luis Fernando finally arrived and joined them."Have you been here for a long time?" Samuel asked Arianna as he took a seat next to his wife."Fairly long. Probably for about an hour now. Have you eaten?"Samuel shook his head. After attending a meeting and reading the messages Darwin sent, Samuel decided to quickly return to the hotel to join his wife and two cousins for dinner."No time. That's why I'm ordering food. What about you? What are you having?""Bulgogi and Ramyeon. Those are the only things I understand and that suit my taste."Samuel laughed. He knew his wife preferred Indonesian cuisine."Alright, I'll order the same as you then."While waiting for their food, Samuel also engaged in conversation with his two cousins. Initially, they discussed business, then transitioned to

Arianna squirmed, blinking repeatedly. Slowly, the woman massaged her throbbing forehead as she tried to sit up from lying down. Instantly, a cold breeze swept in, piercing through to the bone."Good morning, honey," Samuel's voice faintly reached her. Turning, she found her husband sitting right beside her, offering a glass of a warm orange drink."Quick, have this. I ordered warm orange juice to help with the hangover from last night," he said."Me? Hangover?" Arianna asked, as if not believing what she had just heard. In her entire life, she had never been drunk."Oh, dear, don't you remember? Last night, you drank too much of the soju Darwin ordered. Besides, I warned you not to drink. But you ignored it, didn't you?"Continuing to massage her forehead, Arianna tried to recall. Even if she did get drunk, it would be her own fault."I really don't remember. As far as I know, we just had dinner. After that, I don't remember what happened.""Oh my God," Samuel exclaimed. His gaze fix

"Samuel, today, are you going to take me out for a stroll, right?"Arianna had just finished bathing and getting dressed. While applying makeup, she engaged in conversation with her husband, who was currently reading a work report on his tablet.Arianna certainly didn't forget that since the beginning of their visit, and even last night, her husband, who held the status of her spouse, had expressed the desire to take her around South Korea. Of course, Arianna was very enthusiastic, considering it was her first time walking around a foreign country."So," replied Samuel. "Maybe we'll head out around 10. Now, get ready, and let's have breakfast before we go," he ordered without looking in the direction of his wife.Meanwhile, Arianna, who had finished applying makeup and was ready with her appearance, walked over to Samuel. She addressed him and then invited him to go down to the restaurant for breakfast."Come on, I'm ready," she urged.Samuel nodded. Turning off his tablet, he then lo

During Arianna's first delivery, Arabella was visibly excited, eagerly awaiting and welcoming the birth of her grandchild. This time, however, Darwin and Randy were the ones filled with enthusiasm over the birth of Samuel and Arianna's twin babies. It all started with Samuel assigning his two cousins the task of naming their newly born son and daughter. Samuel and Arianna were indeed grateful because their children were born as twins and even had matching genders. "So, have you got the names for the babies yet?" Samuel asked. At the moment, both cousins along with other family members were gathered in the hospital room. Even Rama was present at the hospital. He happened to have a task that brought him to Indonesia for a few days. Upon hearing from Arabella that Arianna had just given birth, he hurriedly visited with his mother. After being given a few hours to think, Randy, who was sitting, immediately looked up. Standing up, he then approached Samuel. "I've got one, not sure abo

In the car on the way to somewhere, Samuel laughed loudly. He chuckled to himself after listening to his wife's story, who intended to retaliate against Randy. Samuel didn't object at all. He thought his cousin needed to be taught a lesson once in a while to learn his lesson. "I can't imagine how annoyed Randy's face must be, having to treat and unwillingly pay for the orders I've already placed," Arianna exclaimed, continuing to laugh. "You're absolutely right." "Let it be! He brought it on himself by being mischievous. Besides, it's nothing compared to what he's done to me countless times. It's also a good deed. We'll donate the food to the orphanage," Arianna replied without feeling any remorse. Then she shifted the topic by asking Samuel something else. "By the way, where are you taking me? I've been wondering for a while now." Samuel glanced briefly, smiling as he answered his wife's curiosity. "I'm planning to surprise you," he said, keeping his focus on the road ahead. "A

Upon realizing she had been blatantly deceived by Randy, the next day Arianna invited Samuel's cousin to have lunch together. With the intention of seeking direct clarification and giving a lengthy lecture on what he had done to her. That's why, after dropping Kalvin off at Arabella's house, Arianna hurried to her husband's office first. Upon arrival, she chose to wait for a moment in Samuel's room because he was currently attending a meeting with other Pacific executives. "After a more in-depth evaluation, there are no longer any obstacles found in this project. I think, going forward, we just need to monitor the progress of the tower construction and then discuss it again. Randy seemed serious as he presented and led the meeting today. While Samuel, from his seat, observed. Occasionally noting the important points conveyed by his cousin. "From our side, there are no issues or matters that need clarification at all, Mr. Randy," replied Agatha, who was attending the meeting today.

Since the unclear argument that happened last night, this morning Arianna continued her silent treatment. Despite still serving and even preparing breakfast for her husband, she did everything in silence. As a result, Samuel, unable to stand being ignored any longer, immediately confronted her. Seeking to ascertain what was really going on with his wife. "Honey..." called out Samuel. His usually firm voice sounded gentle this morning. Yet deep down, he was also frustrated at being ignored by his wife for too long. "Are you tired of being angry and ignoring me all the time? If I've done something wrong, I genuinely apologize," pleaded the man. He continued to gaze intently at Arianna, who was busy pouring milk into her glass. Today, Samuel didn't have to work as it coincided with a holiday. He had plans to take his wife out. However, seeing Arianna still angry since last night, Samuel was puzzled on how to persuade her. "I'm not angry," replied Arianna. Meeting his gaze, she spoke

Arianna knew that her relationship with Samuel had started accidentally. It began with a plan to secure a big tender while deceiving Arabella, and they agreed to a contractual marriage. Over time, love grew between them. Samuel was even the first person to declare his love for the woman he had married. They both promised to take their marriage seriously, to care for each other, to support and complement each other, to stay together faithfully until the end of their lives. Seeing Samuel's sincerity, love, and affection over the years, Arianna doubted that her husband was up to something behind her back. However, after noticing several oddities and Samuel's increasingly strange behavior, Arianna decided to find out what was really going on. Arianna had every reason to be suspicious. Samuel's recent movements only added to her concerns. Like detectives in movies, Arianna sought Randy's help to tail her husband, who was heading somewhere unknown. From the office, they cautiously follow

"If you look at it, land preparation and access roads are not a problem anymore. I'm optimistic that this project can be completed within a maximum period of 2 years," Samuel said, currently discussing in the meeting room with Randy and Agatha. They were indeed in a discussion, talking about the apartments and shopping center that would soon be built. All three of them looked serious, exchanging ideas to be evaluated later. Agatha, starting to feel comfortable at Pasific, didn't miss a chance to hear how Samuel presented his ideas briefly. Agatha had to admit, her ex-boyfriend was very credible in carrying out his tasks and responsibilities. Agatha was even impressed by Samuel's demeanor, always serious in giving explanations. "When the towers here are completed, the next step will be the groundbreaking for the tower in Singapore, right?" Agatha asked to confirm. "Yes, that's correct," Samuel nodded. "That means our team will take turns staying in Singapore." Agatha smiled widely

Arianna watched her husband carefully as he enjoyed his breakfast. Since last night, she couldn't stop thinking. Where did Samuel go, actually? He claimed to be going out and wanted to meet Randy to discuss something. But, when directly asked, Randy himself didn't seem to know anything about it. He even insisted that he was at home because he had just returned from the office. So, did Samuel lie to her? But why? Why did her husband have to lie like that? Because of what happened last night, negative thoughts immediately flooded her mind. Full of questions, she pondered what Samuel was hiding because his behavior had been very strange lately. "Sweetheart," Arianna spoke up after taking a sip of warm milk from the glass she held. "Yes, what is it, honey?" Samuel replied, smiling at Arianna and waiting for her to speak. "Is there anything you want to tell me or talk about?" she asked cautiously, her words inviting questions in Samuel's mind. "Talk? About what?" he asked, puzzled by

"Finally, you're back here, Mrs. Agatha. Mr. Samuel and I hope that for the next two months, you'll be comfortable here in Indonesia and the Pacific," Randy warmly greeted Agatha as she returned to Indonesia. While discussing project schedules, he occasionally threw jokes to lighten the atmosphere. "Thank you very much for the warm welcome, Mr. Randy and Mr. Samuel. I'm truly delighted to be back here and working on projects with great people like both of you," replied Agatha with a smile. Her gaze didn't stray from the figure of the man in the gray suit, who was none other than Samuel. He was the one she wanted to meet at the company. Samuel reciprocated with an equally friendly smile. After Randy, it was his turn to speak. "I hope that during the project execution and supervision process, there won't be any significant obstacles or difficulties. Even if there are any problems or something that needs consultation later on, don't hesitate to ask for help from me, Mr. Randy, or any
The Billionaire's Surrogate Wife Chapter 99
Entering the eighth month of pregnancy, Arianna's belly was noticeably large. Fortunately, in this final trimester, she still had the freedom to engage in many activities. Despite feeling tired more quickly, she still enjoyed everything she did. Besides, it would be boring to just sit around or spend a lot of time watching TV and lounging in the room as Samuel often suggested."I think you should just stay home and enjoy some me-time. Whether it's watching Korean dramas, relaxing while snacking, or inviting someone over. Ask Chacha or Madam Laila to accompany you for a chat rather than going out alone," her husband often said.Arianna had heard this sentence many times from her husband's mouth. Somehow, in this second pregnancy, Samuel's worries were evident from the beginning."If I stay at home all the time, I'll get bored, Sam. I want to go to the office or go out. Spend time outside," Arianna replied.
