The Billionaire's Surrogate Wife Chapter 49
Some time ago, Valerie had already asked Joshua, the manager, to prepare for her return to Indonesia. The woman no longer wanted to compromise, let alone postpone her plans to meet Samuel in Indonesia.To make matters worse, Valerie's heart was heating up. She casually checked Samuel's social media and found several posts of intimate photos and videos of her lover enjoying a holiday abroad with another woman.That's why, when she set foot in Indonesia today, she chose to part ways with Joshua. While her manager went straight to the apartment, Valerie, without much thought, headed to Samuel's office. She was confident that her boyfriend would still be at the office.Upon reaching the Pacific building, wearing sunglasses and a black mini dress, the tall and graceful woman strolled casually. She continued through the lobby and corridors towards the floor where Samuel's office was located.Valerie's smile continued as she encountered anyone along the way. Her steps halted when she reached

After having dinner, Arianna decided to go back to the room. Grabbing her laptop, she took a seat on the sofa, continuing to work on evaluating the results of the presentation she had delivered to the Pakuwon team.After thirty minutes of working, the bedroom door was heard opening. Samuel had just entered the room. He placed the bag he brought on the table and approached Arianna, who was sitting."Why did you come home with Randy?"Instead of apologizing first, those curt words were the first to come out of the narrow-eyed man's mouth, as if there was underlying irritation in his statement.Arianna remained unmoved. She seemed indifferent, not caring at all about Samuel, who was standing waiting for her answer. She continued focusing on what she was doing."Arianna, can you hear me?"Arianna remained silent. This only seemed to make Samuel more frustrated."Arianna Grey Walters," Samuel called out again. His voice sounded slightly elevated. "I'm talking to you. Please answer!"At tha

"Esmeralda."Arianna immediately turned when she, having just placed her bag on the work desk, saw Chacha approaching her out of the blue during lunchtime. The beautiful fair-skinned woman promptly pulled a chair, sat down, and without much talk, served two lunch boxes on the table for her and Arianna to enjoy together.Don't be surprised. Even though Arianna had become the wife of a leader, almost every day Chacha brought food for her friend. It has been a habit since their college days, even spending lunch together, either for a meal or snacks, while discussing various topics."So, who did you go home with yesterday evening?" Chacha asked while opening the bento boxes she brought, one by one."With Mr. Randy," replied Arianna as she tidied up the papers on her desk."Oh? You went home with Mr. Randy? I thought Mr. Samuel would be the one to pick you up.""Far from it," scoffed Arianna. Accepting chopsticks from Chacha, Arianna confidently took a piece of sushi and tasted it first. "

Samuel squinted his eyes for a moment. Taking a deep breath, the man tried hard to push away whatever he was currently thinking. However, instead of disappearing, the shadow of the memory of the conversation with Valerie yesterday echoed in his mind.Yesterday, Samuel was indeed surprised by Valerie's sudden arrival in his room. Not only that, but his ex-girlfriend also acted as if nothing had happened in their relationship. Trying hard to be friendly, she seemed eager to release the longing as if there were no faults or sins before."What are you doing here?" Samuel asked sharply as Valerie sat in the chair in front of him."I miss you, Honey. I really want to hug and kiss you like usual," she answered playfully, seeming to forget the wrongs she had done to the man in front of her.Samuel laughed bitterly, completely ignoring Valerie's words. He appeared indifferent and unwilling to respond."I'm busy, Valerie. It's better if you leave.""No," the long-haired woman shook her head. "W

Throughout the journey back home, Samuel continued to laugh. Even when they reached home and had gone upstairs to bed, he kept smiling widely, as if he had just witnessed a spectacular comedy show.Arianna initially just observed her husband's behavior. But seeing the strange and unusual antics continue even at home and brought to the bed, her curiosity led her to ask directly rather than speculate about what was actually happening."Why are you laughing so much? Is there something funny?"Samuel shook his head, gradually stopping his laughter, and slowly answered Arianna's question."I just find it amusing when I remember the conversation between you and Valerie at the gala dinner tonight."Actually, from the beginning, Samuel didn't expect that his attendance with Arianna at the gala dinner tonight would lead to an encounter with Valerie. Since his ex-girlfriend deliberately approached, Samuel also did not want to miss the opportunity to introduce Valerie directly to his wife.Unexp

Samuel appeared quite busy finishing some tasks before heading to a meeting outside the office. After a while, there was a knock on the door, followed by Axton entering with a large folder that he wanted to show to his boss."Excuse me, sir. Sorry to disturb you again," Axton said."Yeah, what's up, Axton?" Samuel responded without turning away from the papers he had been reading."These are the copies of the marriage agreement you made. They were returned by the notary yesterday afternoon and officially canceled. So, at this moment, your marriage to Mrs. Arianna is just like any other regular marriage. There's no more binding agreement as in the beginning."This time, Samuel raised his face, shifting his focus from the stack of papers to his assistant standing in front of his desk."Thank you very much for the help and the new information you just provided. I'll take the file for now. After this, I'll destroy it," Samuel said while accepting the folder from Axton and placing it on th

"Don't beat around the bush. Quickly tell me what you want to say and what plans you have," Valerie demanded.After bumping into one of the men who was Samuel's cousin in front of the elevator, Valerie finally agreed to go to a nearby coffee shop, not far from the Pacific Palace building. Once they arrived, they immediately took seats in a corner of the room and began discussing important plans that might be executed soon."Relax, Valerie. Don't you miss me at all? Or maybe you want to order some drinks first?" the man offered, trying to be friendly.Valerie sighed. She wasn't particularly interested in dealing with the man in front of her."No need to fish for compliments. Our relationship is just for fun," Valerie replied curtly. It was her natural demeanor. "Enough, let's get straight to the point. If there's nothing to talk about, I might as well leave."The man in front of Valerie chuckled, leaned back in his chair, then spoke casually."I'm sure you're extremely disappointed abo

Arianna observed closely as Samuel presented with one of his clients. Despite frequently witnessing her husband engaging in serious conversations like this, for some reason, Arianna couldn't hide her admiration. When he was serious like now, Samuel's handsomeness and charisma seemed to increase by 100%. Actually, her husband had always been handsome. But, for the first time, she truly realized and enjoyed his handsomeness up close."So, how about it? Is Marigold willing to collaborate with Pacific?" Samuel asked at the end of his presentation.Sandara Muller, the Singaporean female client, smiled. She glanced at her assistant or perhaps her team members. They exchanged signals, then turned back to look at Samuel while extending her hand for a handshake."Both of us agree with the offer that Pacific just outlined. If this condotel project is promising, there's no reason we can't expand its scope to Singapore.""With pleasure," replied Samuel. "Pacific is ready to invade anytime. Everyt

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.
